snow,
i think bb gym also min 6 mths rite ?

hisstory,
isetan parkway - 2nd floor. childrens section. bright and clean but cold there. 2 changing counters. 2 rooms. got hot and cold water + 1 yacult machine.

re: parkway parade
for those whom frequent parkway, NO NOT go to the nursing room in the basement beside Gammaphone. There alot of the tenants go there to take water and wash things even though they are not allowed to. Also there got xiao qiang also. The best is still inside Isetan.
 


catherine
no leh, gymboree got lesson from new born.
when did kindermusik change har? cos i remember they accept new born leh.
their brochure also written from new born lor.
 
timminbuzz,
haiz. today put her in yaolan. managed to sleep for 0.5hr, wake up again. all the naps so haywire. think when i bring her to my mom place, definitely will have to put her in yaolan. guess have to train her in cot when she is older. hopefully she is like her brother, give up yaolan on his own when he turn 1.
 
timminbuzz,
today she managed to nap better than yesterday and have a nap around 4:30pm-5pm. bathe and feed her at 6:05pm and settle her in cot at 6:20pm. She still cry. *sigh* after 10 min, latch her again and she finally happy to go sleep. Think the room is not dark enough and lots of traffic noise cos i stay along the main road.
 
ruixuan,
yr boy miss my girl huh, hehe

snow,
thanks, wanted to bring baby on sat but dunno the sequence to go about so drop the idea. mayb try again on thurs.

P/S: yr no. one really looks like you so i presume no.2 looks like daddy? small looks like daddy, bigger look like you? YEAH! MY BABY GOT HOPE!!!! hhahah

M2B,
but it seems that she drinks very little since she sleep so much. i tried to increase her feed by 15ml n she had reflux. the next feed she drank 15ml lesser so end up same amount. 130ml for 5 feeds seems little lei. tonight will try again. wander is it becos she went out yesterday so tired.....cross fingers

hisstory,
thanks for updating the table, really need to know where to go when i bring bb out. the centrepoint one has doors. there is a big room n they call it the family room. inside those with 2 kids, there is 2 small basins n toilet for smaller kids n one changing table at the sink area n one nursing rm with padded changing table. only thing cos it;s rather deserted.......it's very cold!. oh, i forgot is it 5th or 6th level :p

YLN,
the taka's foodcourt toilet seems dirty n wet, didn;t know they have decent nursing area
the centrept family room is also a hidden gem

nursing rms:
pls keep all the hidden gems to ourselves so it;ll not be overcrowded. hehe

catherine,
u bot the 12kg one? i tried the 10kg one, just nice or fitted for baby lei. the baby bjion carrier makes my bb the lightest so far n it supports the back lei. ask you: how do u support her neck ?
 
twinstar,
ya i bought the synergy in black color. Most of the time when i carry her she will lie on my chest and sleep. dont really need to worry about the neck. even when awake, she seems quite snuggly tucked inside. i think u have to adjust the height to the right height for her.
 
happycat...
tink when they cry they get tired also and after being soothed by the boob, can sleep more easily. but she was willing to go into cot after latching on the 2nd time?

today i had to sling mine to sleep after he woke up during the 2nd nap. if i'm desperate enough, i'll start day nap sleep training b4 he turns 12 weeks old. heheh...but cos now @ least i get > sleep n rest after sleep training the night, i dun feel so tired slinging him to sleep in the day. heh...

i read in the book that if bb's well rested and following schedule...it'll make transition into day nap sleep training easier too.
 
snow74,
your girls very pretty, they look very alike.

baby bjorn:
got size limit is it? thought of getting one since my kpo boy likes to look around and be carried upright.
 
krex,
hahaa.. dun worry. Im sure ur PIL will dote on ur bb. Since u will be working and not ard to see what they are doing, im sure there wun be much issues arising lah. :p

Twin stars,
We did give pacifier and put pillow. But he slept for just 5 min then eh oredi. Wans pple to carry him ard, so cranky. Now know oredi. Must get home before 8am. If not, must try to make him sleep before he starts his engine.

hisstory,
haha u r right! They kept saying sleep later so bb can sleep longer. But dun think it's the case for kids nowadays.

Thanks for updating the nursing rooms table. V useful indeed.

misstiffany, hisstory, krex, M2B, shint,

shint,

Barely used (less than 5 times) mint condition Bumbo seat and play tray for sale.

Great for babies 3mths to 1 yr to sit up and play with proper back support.. also a great way to include your baby during meal times

Selling at $50.00 for BOTH seat (unisex lime gren colour) and play tray, usual retail price $79+ to $129 (at Mothercare). bumbo seat will come in original box, which is also btw in mint condition as well.

You can go to Kiddy Palace or MotherCare to test to see if you baby likes it. Most kids do.. for my baby, its just that his thighs are really chubby, so it doesnt fit him well.

Self collect at marine parade.

Interested, please call/msg me at 9856 8158. Dont reply here, as i may not check it regularly.

Thanks.

Joy.

hisstory...
yah lor...jia lat. tt's y i was desperate to sleep train him. so started with night one. once i settled the night n got more sleep...the day really doesn't seem so bad anymore and cos i'm out often...so i'm carrying him anyways.
i'm training him now for the morning nap. i soothed him and put him down when he was drowsy. obviously he woke up cos my bb has bed sensors (haha). n crying now. giving him 20min to see if he'll fall asleep on his own. *sigh*
 
Mommies..How to make bb sleep early??? My son at 11pm-1am.. he's as awake as an owl! Even lights off he'll be eh eh eh...wah lau.. Daytime he sleeps but not as whole day.. Sigh....

All geared up to return to work?
Yday when I return home from work, my #2 gave me such a sweet smile and all my tiredness gone away liao…so heartwarming man!

I guess you shd be consistent as in off lights at the timing you want your bb to sleep and do that everyday until he recognizes the pattern?

snow,
kindermuzik got program for newborn.. but after speaking to the person in charge, she also advise no point cos bb still quite unsettled. 4 mths onwards is the best, else it's quite waste of money.

re: pillow
I bought the pillow with the "hole" for the head type, when can start using ??

i think hotel might be good rite? we can go to Holiday Inn Atrium (ie at Outram, Havelock Road) -- good value for $$ and food pretty ok.
It's at 32+++ and 1-for-1 so in the end each person about <$20.

Can ask them to arrange a space for us for our prams - for UOB card, it's max of 5 pax. Who else have UOB card? I have two, not sure if they let me utilise them at one go ....
 
Sorry for the confusion, it's 5 pax of 1-for-1 ... so it's 10 persons for 1 credit card. I will call to check the lunch spread ..... i suppose lunch is better cos some of us have #1s and dinner is not an option.

Sounds so exciting ... then we can meet up and yak our hearts out. heee. I also attended a few such gatherings before and always ended up no time to talk! kekekek. mUst take the whole afternoon manz. Lunch is good? maybe it'll be cheaper oso.
 
hi, for the gathering, is it for mommies only or can they bring their bbs and hubby? i'm going back to work next week liao

i'm going to try the synerygy at mothercare vivo tonight, then can go egg to try the sling to see which works better. hopefully can. my hands are breaking

aurora,
yr bb is smart la, won;t be cheated next time, hehe. ya, i also find that my bb sleeps pretty early like 8pm to 9plus but she likes to "kai kai" like me so no matter how tired she is, she will stay awake unless she is really tired, she will eh for the pacifier n close the canopy for her to sleep. our lives at this stage is "sold" to our babies. hee

snow,M2B
ya, girs have 18 changes
happy.gif
fingers crossed. my friend;s girl is oppo, looks like mom till 3yrs old. now at coming 5yrs. sudd her eyes got bigger n rounder n looks like the dad. so we'll enjoy observing the changing phases of our girl;s life
happy.gif


M2B,
last night, bb drank earlier at 8pm so woke up at 4:30am for milk. still not bad liao considering i did not increase her feed n yesterday is the first time she has 5 feeds only. think tonight i'll try to carry her out to drink at midnight n see how...but like that it'll b 7 feeds......

shint,
i have uob ladies. i don;t mind meeting in town. i'm sick of the west
