re: CC
Actually we cant wait for our #1 to go CC. Cos all our family member cannot tahan taking care my girl cos she is too mischevious. We everyday high blood pressure. But I know on that day I will sure cry also if I see her cry badly. Hopefully she can adapt well and wont cry since she warm up very fast one and like to play with other children.

re: Gathering with babies.
Shall we set one weekend to have the gathering but must find a place first. Who can offer their place? I dont mind offer my place if you all are ok but my house quite small.

[hisstory]

medusa

M2B
U got ur Carter's stuff fr MBK?? When i went in June, i bought quite a few items before i spotted the Carter's stuff.. Hb said nono, must restrain *haiz* the sunsuits are really cute!!

re: day time sleep
How long aft bb wakes for feed does bb show tiredness? My ger can only tahan for 1 hr or so, and must orhorh oredi.. Wonder if it's too short

How long do ur bb sleep during their daytime naps? If mine can sleep 30min, i very lucky oredi.. She will stir & if i'm able to rock her back to sleep, i have it good.. If not she wld wail coz of her disrupted sleep

Help!!!

 

[dardar63]

re: drooling
anyone notice bb drooling more lately ? my bb drool quite a bit .. very messy.

 

[valnsw]

hisstory,
My bb also will get cranky 1 hr aft her feed and wants to sleep.
Today after she went swimming, she KO for 3 hrs. Not bad considering if I'm lucky, she will nap for 45min.

Catherine,
Chevelle drools quite abit. And she likes to suck her whole fist, not just one thumb or finger.

nini,
I have taken out my bb's mittens few wks ago. She wil also scratch herself that's why it's important to trim the fingernails.

 

[hisstory]

val
Thanks for sharing! So i'm not alone.. I thought now tt she's 10 weeks old, she can stay awake much longer. Esp coz she doesn't sleep much, i had the impression it means she can stay awake longer

So if Chevelle naps for only 45min, how is she after she wakes? Does she get cranky?

 

[blue_aurora]

So many posts to catch up!

Hehee... nice pix of the water babies, Super cute!

medusa: darwisyah eyes are really pretty

catherine: misaki also drool a lot recently. I dont think she is teething though. Bernice is getting prettier and prettier ya?

i have to do pedi n mani tomorrow afternoon ..so that can look nice nice tomorrow nite..hee..so, im going to give the gathering a miss..but next time if got gathering with bb, will be better hor..

 

[celynlee]

morning mummies.

babysitter just came to fetch baby. i'm going to go for breakfast at BK then to facial. hopefully after facial and lunch, i still have some time to come back to pump before going to heart centre with my mum for her medical appointment. if not, i think my breast will burst by the time i reach home after medical appointment or fetching yu ze from babysitter's place.

howcome the 3am mummy, shint didn't do any posting? heheh....

yln,
wow your dinner is so ex.... $1000 one person, they better serve very good food leh.

 

[mavys_m2bagain]

Celyn,
I bought the additional cushion from Mothercare for my Maclaren Quest which doesn’t come with it…I find that it give more support and also more comfy for bb…

Valnsw,
Yup, we had a great time in BKK although the weather is warm…shopping was good coz things are cheap there…when we were at BKK, it is so peaceful there…no protests etc, makes us postpone so many times…hahaha

Hope your dec getaway can materialize so you can have a good break…but be prepared, will miss bb a lot. =P

Amabel,
Hehe, you emotional mommy like me? I felt so embarrassed when the cc teachers saw me dropping tears leh but I was so sad coz see my baobei crying…kids gg to schools or cc will sure learn discipline, so dun worry, your gal will get better…and it is true that kids adapt very fast so it is just a matter of time.

Rata,
Yap, I’m on leave on 3 Nov too…unless some impt work or meeting to attend to…

Hisstory,
Yup, manage to buy some Carter’s clothings for Mae…so sweet! Bought some wooden toys for her too…heehee, too early to play now lah…

My gal will napped the longest after her morning feed at 10am+..can napped for more than 2hrs but when the two older kids are back from school, her nap is frequent and short instead…she very funny 1, sure must take a power nap at 8pm+ to 9pm+ then drink milk and sleep again…after feed, she will play for about an hour then nap liao so I think it is normal…

Nini,
I took out my bb’s mittens at 6 weeks already…

YLN,
I oso wana go do my pedi this Fri...so long never do liao.

 

[msapple]

shirley, u got the wrong person. i didnt go swimming.

 

[shay]

faeriekim,
do u have anymore voucher to spare? tot of bringing ashton for a trial leh. u not bringing ur gal? so tempting to see so many posting on bb in the tub. actually went to the harbourfront outlet last sun at ard 3+pm (that's y didn't see snow and gang). wanted to let ashton try out but he was asleep and when he woke up my #1 woke up too. hubby said give it a miss cos #1 will not stay still to watch didi swim and will end up hubby hv to entertain him and miss out the fun watching didi swim...

let me know if u still have voucher to spare .....tia!

re: nail cutting
i use big nail cutter....very easy to cut. tried using special nailcutter for bb but just dunno how to use it....big one better. i love to cut bb's nails so satisfying.....crazy mama!

re: bb gathering
count me in.......

 

[shay]

huichin,
r u referring to the membrane? i hv some spares. u want?

 

[mrsgan]

re nail cutting:
my maid had tried to use big nail cutter to cut my bb finger nails and ended she cut bb skin and bleeding non stop. We had warned her never ever try to cut bb nails, and becos of this i sent her off. i dont want a maid that cannot understand never ever.

usually i will use round pointed scissor to cut baby nails. so far so good.

 

[huichin]

Shay, ya ya i think it's call the membrane. Oh u have ah? I dun mind wor! heheh...where u stay ah? I PM u la easier

 

[ruixuan]

Just to share:

I had been using glass bottles all along. Last night what happen was after pumping 110ml, i removed the funnel from the glass bottle & notice the rim of the bottle was chipped off.
End up, i got to poured away my milk and still cannot find the chip off part.

I was worried and also did clean up the whole steriliser and soak the funnel... still now the chip off part cant be found. so sad...

My advice is to check the integrity of the glass bottle before using..

 

[2faerie]

megan,
globetrotters good idea, esp since me bring #1.

my mj skills very mediocre. tink if i go, my role better be the tea lady. pls give more tips hor, i try to keep the drinks beri cold/hot.

msapple,
part of the reason why i wan my daughter to go to CC is oso cos she bery mischievious
i'm oso very keen on bb gathing on either 8/15 nov.

interrace,
yar, it's 1 free swimming trial or massage. how i pass u the voucher?

shay,
