I was there at 3.30 and it was still crowded. Went to register and left them a number. THen went Chinatown point to sit down and then they called me when it was my turn. did not wait in the studio as it was very crowded. Think Fri being last day will be more jia lat.. may want to consider going early in the morning, be more KS.

Hi mommies !
I just checked the HT website and they are offering free delivery for orders up to $80. Since we are having gathering on Sat, would anyone like to order the HT brown rice to be sent to my place for collection on Sat? We need 11 boxes at least for free delivery. Price is at $6.90.
I'll start the ball rolling first
Order for HT brown rice cereals

Just give me the links to the items you want, then I will inform her as I have sent extra money over to buy some items when she is buying her. So you can just tag along.

celyn,
how was your first feed? believe it or not, today when i tried to BF jonah outside during dinner time, he wasn't too interested. by the time he went to 2nd breast, he was already kicking away. he smiled when daddy carried him in front facing his food. he was banging table and kicking away, as if it wanted some, haha. sure hope he got enough milk!

Happy Mummy,
LV bag hor... I think with Jap Yen so high, it will cost you over 2k for the bag leh.
Plus my frd not stayin near city area. So if want her to buy, have to add transportation fees,etc... will cost you even more leh.....
Maybe when I fly over for work around July, then I buy for u? Possible? Will it be OOS?

Hsve been totally stressed out at home as hubby as been working OT everyday, including weekends since Xmas. Often coming home after midnight. That means I have to look after Mabel from morning till night, do the housework and at the same time, try and put in some working time. Told hubby if this continues, I will probably loose my temper with her one of these days. Sigh.. Only consolence so far- internet shopping.
Looks like most of us started our babies on cereals. I did too over the weekend. hehe! It was a very messy affair. I read that supposed to let baby feed herself if she wants to and to let her 'feel' the food. Even with the extra big, waterproof bib, it was still messy. I bought the bibs from Ikea. Must say I'm very pleased with it. Think will go buy another set.

Todate, we have about 8 signups ... we need 2 more leh.
The deadline is 15 Jan la, still got time to find more people ... those who are interested and have not inform Ruixuan, please do so.
Me oso wan to go cos i think it's worth it esp when they return ALL the pics in high resolution format. Some other studios only return a few and the rest in LOW resolution format. If we wan to make the trip and take the effort, might as well do it good right?
Who else interested ah?
Anyway, the deadline for shoot had been extended to 31 May instead of 3 months from signup ie Mid April.
Ruixuan,
Update pls.

Ruixuan,
sorry sorry, just read that SL is sick. Do take care ok? Alot of babies are now not feeling well. I think it's the weather.
My #1 oso down with flu. I myself oso caught the flu bug .. but more serious with my cough. On MC for these 2 days but due to work, I went back to office yesterday. Today, it worsened ..
Doctor prescribed me a mild cough medication called PROSPAN .... not sure if it's working. If get worst, then maybe have to see doc again and might disrupt breastfeeding .... cos it's prob not safe for breastfeeding.

krmeow,
my boy wanted to hold his own spoon yesterday when i fed him but i didn't let him...very bad hor? can't bear the thought of having to clean my high chair coz' it's also a combi bed made of cloth material and he uses it to sleep during weekends. end up my maid held his hands down coz' he tried to put it in his cereal-filled mouth and touch the chair. otherwise he's not that messy coz' he didn't spit his food out. hmmm...maybe shld consider getting the ikea high chair then he can make all the mess he wants in the kitchen!

Hi Moms!
I'd like any advice you can give where day napping is concerned.
My son who will be 5 months this Thursday still cannot nap during the day on his own. He is so used to being nursed to sleep and then staying asleep in my arms. When he was an infant, he already didn't really like napping during the day a lot.. so then, the only way to keep him asleep was to carry him after he dozes off. The moment we try to put him down, he'll wake up and cry. And unfortunately, that habit of being nursed to sleep and sleeping in my arms has continued to this day.
Being almost 5 months old, I think enough is enough and he should learn to nap by himself. Carrying him while he naps means I'm being held 'captive' by him. Simply because I wouldn't be able to do anything else. If he naps for 3 hours (which he has done), I'm stuck on the sofa for 3 hours. It's really quite bad.
I've tried letting him cry it out.. but this boy of mine would rather cry than fall asleep. Quite strong willed.
I'm almost desperate so will really appreciate any tips or advice.
Thanks so much

M2B, wah Mae is very fast..she can take those Pigeon biscuits liao? got teeth to bite? Can check with u ar, starting should feed plain porridge first or mix with 1 type of veges har? Does it replace 1 milk feed or give porridge first then follow by milk feed har?
Wendy, my bb initially when younger also needs to be carried and pat to sleep..my MIL LOVES to put her to sleep in sarong..they keep saying that bb will feel being hugged/carried when sleeping in sarong..if u dun mind can try ba..what i did myself was that i gradually shorten the time needed to carry/pat her, then place her on bed and lie down next to her..continue patting but gradually lighten ur patting when she's sound asleep..don't know whether it will work for ur bb..another thing i feel is true with bbs is that they need a security item when sleeping..be it a blanket..a beanspout pillow...

coolsnow,
he took 1 or 2 tablespoon of porridge. it should be 1 tablespoon of rice before cook bah. i didn't ask in details.
wendy,
my boy need to be rock to sleep in the beginning too, then slowly progress to sleep on me. i will put him down to sleep after he falls into deep sleep but i will still sleep beside him. then slowly, i cut down my rocking. in the end, i just give him pacifier put him in his cot and let him sleep. he will cry in the beginning. then i will carry him, pat pat him for 5 mins or so. then put him down to sleep again. if he cry again, i will just repeat the steps till he eventually sleep. usually it takes about 3 cycle for him to settle down and sleep. now i will just put him down, give pacifier and pat a while then i walk out even though he is still awake and ehing in his cot. i will not carry him unless he cry. after a few minutes of eh eh, he will sleep.
