[mum_on_the_go]

Hi mummies
Brought Adel to studioloft today and he did not smile ! Sigh.... tried very very hard to make him smile but to no avail. On the way home he slept and now he is lying beside me giving me the sweetest smile ! ARghhh !! Why ??!!


Toilet training:
Wah ! So early toilet train ah? Then I cannot fall behind. So how to do it?

Shint:
How? Found your maid yet? Will be at Kid's clinic tomorrow ! Kai finished his injections already?

 

[tigg3r]

Celyn

haha! managed to get one model to do it for you to see... That's how my mum does it when the babies were able to sit..

 

[snow74]

tigg3r
there is a kinda toilet bowl "add on" for kiddo, my #1 using that.
it look like a smaller version of that toilet bowl seat, to be put on top.
maybe u can consider, instead of sitting behind lor. =)

 

[krex78]

celyn,

same here. hb does diaper changing most of the time, esp when we go out. i only like changing at home coz' i change diaper well in a fixed setting, haha. so inflexible hor?

happy mummy,

haha, your boy so cute. never mind lah. dun smile also can be cute mah. the photog can be creative and do something to the photo...

april,

u didn't get my email? my email add is [email protected].

 

[yumeumi]

tigg3r,

when u describe, I was thinking this way liao.

my confinement lady got me the small potty to train during 2nd mth, but... TBF bb just poo anytime n sometimes like powerful shoot out... so din manage to start. But when Meredith wants to poo, she will eng eng sound, so I let her sit up n hold her when she was young. Now she will always want sit up n poo or in the bumbo seat with her diaper. Dunno is it one of the modified methods to toilet training?

timing was fixed by her til teething where everything in a mess...... hope she can go back to the schedule.

 

[tigg3r]

Snow

Yeah! we had the kiddo add on, but they dun feel secure.. somemore we got to sit on the stool to hold them, why not just sit with them, den getting up n down also not so siong

 

[celynlee]

krex78,
i don't even change diaper at home. will only change when i'm alone with yu ze. hahah.... once yu ze poo, i will just pass him to hubby to change or call out for hubby.

snow74,
yah, i'm thinking of getting those small toilet seat that can be place on top of ours. there is a bp selling 1 kind that had both kid and adult toilet seat join together one. before i can buy, its closed liao.

mrs teng,
thanks for the demo. will show hubby, ask him to do it next time.

 

[tigg3r]

Celyn

homefix got sell the toilet seat..

 

[celynlee]

mrs teng,
thanks for the info. those add on one is not good is it? insecure huh? do you have any idea about the one i mention?

 

[krex78]

celyn,

wah, so bad! for me, i only change at home. if outside, my hb always volunteer so i don't even need to offer help. in fact, he was the one who taught me how to change diaper coz' i never tried b4 until i had my bb, haha. bathing also...he seems like an expert at it. i had to slowly learn from CL how to bathe newborn.

 

[tigg3r]

Celyn

What I meant by insecure is the baby feels insecure not that the seat is insecure..

 

[tigg3r]

Krex , Ceyln

So lucky you gals had hb who will change diapers... mine will run away..

I had to learn the hard way, that time the hospital nurses insisted that I show them if I know how to bathe the premies, otherwise they will not let me bring the gals home leh! I so stressed up lor.. so every morning must go hospital n learn how to bathe the gals.. Imagine my elder gal is only 1,7 plus kg only..

 

[celynlee]

mrs teng,
heheh.... i see. blur me.

krex78,
at least he volunteer loh. i don't bathe yu ze too. all the cleaning job is hubby's responsibilities. to date, i think i bathe yu ze less than 5 times. hahah....

 

[apriltan]

Krex78, Got it now. Thanks.

Misaki was crying feeling uncomfortable with the fake grass.. and till now she keeps wakin up like having a bad dream..
my #1 Ryo was ok, I tink he tried his best but he was shouted at and asked to make michan smile . (and when he cant do it,they blamed him.. poor ryo

 

[missysz]

YLN,
you stay at BB right? if so, i am pretty near.

 

[celynlee]

seems like babies who went for walk in ps, don't enjoy it at all.

snow74,
ok. i will go and check it out.

 

[missysz]

hashisan,
what happened? i didnt have v positive experience when i was there for the cny shoot too. the lady boss is not very friendly in my opinion...

strawberry and happymommy,
post pic ok?

 

[yoyo06]

missy: I just posted a clearer story. scroll up please

 

[ruixuan]

i also not going to go back there(studioloft) too.
unpleasant service

 

[cookie_baby]

ME too!! I thot it was me..but i hated the way they work too. No more Studio loft for me too...was thinking of trying out den decide btw Dphoto &amp; studio loft.

 

[yoyo06]

happymommy: nice to meet u today

Both Adel and michan were not really in the best mood today yeah .hehe..

Small toilet seat: can buy at kiddy palace or toys r us. the ones that can be put on top of our seat. cant remember how much. but i remember its not expensive.
i used it to toilet train ryo last time. till now he still uses it because the adult seat is still too big for him.

 

[yoyo06]

strawberry: what time were u there? I was there at around noon time.

missy, ruixuan:
yeah they are not the most patient people (which is actually the most important thing when your clients are babies and children )

 

[ruixuan]

their studio like store room right?

 

[ruixuan]

hashisan
my SL the moment i put him on the grass... he also cries... they dun bother and just take the picture... then SL fall from the sitting position, they offer the basket, SL who is still crying, sit in the basket a while and then fall off, this time round, SL big cries liao.. they then ask me to put SL in bumbo seat... please lah.. my SL can sit leh.. why need bumbo... my aim is to stop SL from crying and not what position or posture to snap.. hiakz... when i selected pic (the final selection), i look at those i never put star, they say " look at only those u put star leh". i insisted i want to look at. they give me black face.

i dare not to post here cos i also tot i fussy. cos snow is a regular there and so far no prob..

 

[huichin]

Whoa seems like alotta recent Mummies as their clients are really not happy abt their services/attitude hor. Hmmm...i was just thinking abt bringing Falisha there siah...

Snow, how abt giving some of ur opinions of them, whether good or bad oso share with us?

 

[snow74]

huichin
ha ha...u can see my photos in fb? =P
actually after cny walk-in, i'm already speechless.
but cos some of them, who i can't rem who liao, has gd experience...that is why i din comment much after that. =)
to me, i'm just trying to take some milestone photos for zynn.

 

[huichin]

hehe..Snow, i saw ur girls' photos in their thread. Heheh...so nice.

Oh so overall u're pretty happy with their performance?

 

[snow74]

huichin
*gua gua*....
during cny walk-in, they dun let zynn hold on to the yin lui.
that is why zynn look so scared inside the photo.
i was asking if any1 meet the same problem, but like only me feel that the photographer abit that 1 lor.
that is why now when u gals raise up this topic again, i become dunno what to say liao.
say too much will become complain ya?
ha ha....

 

[dardar63]

hashisan,
alot of complaints lately about the lady boss and the photographers. thats why i think i wont go there for shoot. i feel that when taking pics for babies/kids you need alot of patience and a "kind heart"... so if you are impatient then you shouldnt be doing pics for babies/kids.

april,
how u potty train ? i'm tempted to do it too.

 

[ruixuan]

Snow
pai seh, miss ur post.
Dphoto located near raffles hotel there rite? yes
only need $50 deposit 1st? is $100 deposit

sorry... miss out

RE: dphotofolio PS package
Ok confirm I want to take this up. Anyway, see my name in the confirmed list liao.
I'm ok with 11 Aug, cos I think I will bring her earlier to do the PS.

cocomo,
What happened w your maid that need to do police report? Did you catch her wrongdoing via the CCTV?
Hope things go well for u and Shervalle. Meantime, source for maid to take over from the confinement lady.
Confinemt lady quite ex. Did you consider infantcare instead?

vern / krex,
thks for your feedback on maids calling back to their home country. I thought Phoenix calling card is still the best.. Just wondering if hv any other better alternatives.

mrs teng,
your mum v zhai leh! Shd ask her for pointers to toilet train your girls!

hashishan,
wah... sounds like the studio loft not v gd service huh? ok I will blacklist them...
