ling,
guess it soothes the whole experience but the scare was not worth it

dongle,
it;s so tough to finally get the right FM n to think about changing n going thru this phase or trial n error is crazy.
however, i itchy backside did try to switch gg to enfalac cos friends say not so ;thick; as compared to similac. she threw up a few times so i scared already n switch back to nan n gave my milk powder away

tigg3r,
talk about peer pressure, i suck thumb till pri lei,hehe
i went to the toilet, shut myself in the cubicle to suck so friends wun see.( like drug addict ) later i found it too troublesome n finally gave up at pri2 or 3 ,haha
i see gg suck so hard on medium teats but large, she choke cos use same pressure ba. hiaz. u r right. eventually they will get ther so y bother now. lwt her enjoy wat she wants first ba

 

[rona]

LTS,

[stardiva]

rona,
suck too much thumb will have ;chiao; lips like mine...now in wo . hee. i wander wen will gg outgrow pacifier. fil scold me say i outgrow so late yet wanna ween gg off ,hehe

 

[rona]

LTS,
not just that, her thumb is now very flat and sometimes red from too much sucking. and the nails are ugly and soft...

 

[dongzzz]

krex,
no, i din ask mead johnson abt the scoops but i rem anenatal class got teach us before & demo how to level the scoop somemore

cat,
bernice small drinker is ok since she is drinking 3 hourly right? i trained cayla to drink 4 hourly that's why i give more

bernice so cute, she knows how to shake head to reject, my cayla only know how to cry to protest!!!

huichin,
if falisha likes NAN3 then dont change lor... unless you want her to try every brand... i changed bcos she dont want to take after a while... i also prefer my bb to be small to average size and not big like her daddy then she will sure blame me one!!! cayla cant reli walk yet, maybe 1 or 2 steps but when she did that, she will be all excited and happy & clap her hands...

LTS,
yup, luckily the next step milk is 1 to 3 years old... dont need to change so often like step 1 and 2... i heard NAN is not bad too according to the reviews, i might change to NAN3 if cayla doesn't want enfagrow anymore...

rona,
sayang babyJ, i very heartpain when cayla kena fake measles after her fever few months back too...

 

[mummynana]

Does anyone have a good suggestion on hw to wean bb off the pacifier? My gal will wake up in the nite (abt 3-4am) to look for her pacifier and den tink tat it's not enough and I will have to BF her till she sleeps again.

huichin
bernice also walking abit.. took 5 steps without support on her bday. else she walks holding onto things. we got 2 push walker for her bday so she's happily pushing it around.. actually i think got 3, one more havent open. haha

 

[dardar63]

dongle
sometimes i dono if its good that bernice can now show her preference to things. it makes her more choosy too. hahaha. now i will ask her if she wants her milk then i make. she will nod her head if she wants and shake if she doesnt. giving choices are good, but i dont want to make her choosy and fussy. but it's cute that she can "tell" what she wants. like if the tv is off she will point to it, or the program finish she will show "no more" .. she will shake head when she had enough ..

 

[tigg3r]

Rona

I dun cook the fish with the porridge also.. if they dun finish the porridge, very sayang leh! I usually use the pork stock to shimmer the sliced fish, take out and mash with the back of the fork and set aside, den use the stock to cook the veggies n sometimes minced pork. Den I'll remove a little of the veggie to mash it as side dishes for Cheril. The rest remain inside and I add in the plain porridge to shimmer for awhile. And this is for Clara... Very sion leh! 2 different menus..Driving me huts man!

RE: Rashes

That day, Clara also have tiny red dots all over her body.. Think it was heat rash, so didn't bother to bring her to PD. Anyway, she was also having flu at that time, so the Zrytec probably helped relief the itch.



LTS

Wah! I thot I was jialat, you lagi better den me.. until Primary 2. Hi-5 man!

rona,
no leh. he don't want us to assist him in walking. if we try to hold his hand to walk, he will sit down and start crawling away. so let him be loh.

at least now he is willing to self feed himself a bit or touch the food which he will simply refuse to. cam climb up 1 side of my bed and crawl to the other side and come down again.

little twin stars,
wow!!! you are your dad's princess leh.

rata,
hahah... wrong calculation.

You were asking bout those trading workshops right? I had a friend who attended and she had to pay a few thousand to open and maintain account and then do the trading...Not sure if she break even yet.

How's bbJ?

Huichin, Rata,
Congrats on Falisha and Jac walking!
My lazy rat shows no signs of wanting to walk yet But no rush lah, I can pretend he's still a little baby

Mrs Teng,
I like the idea of letting the kids wean themselves when they are ready....btw the blueberry cake's delish!

Twinstar,
I like your suck thumb story! Hahaha

Dongle & Cat,
Wah Cayla and Bernice can say so many words already! Clever girls!

Clapping
Kes usually claps only when I'm trying to get him to sleep...and claps very enthusiastically like watching some show! When we brought him to the animal show at Sentosa, we left him in his stroller in front of the stage and before the show started they played some music and he sat up and started laughing and clapping and made the audience laugh!

Recently, he learned a new trick. When he tries to crawl away, I will say "Stay! Don't move!" and he will freeze on the spot then give the biggest pout you can imagine. But amazingly, he really will stay put! hahahaha like training dog like that

[interrace]

re : enfagrow
i couldnt find the new scoop in the new tin, thus i use the old scoop for 180ml x 6scoop.
feel the powder are very fine and easily dissolve.
then i saw dongle mentioned the scoop is diff..went to dig up the new scoop...and use 3 of that big scoop to make 180ml of milk, is this okie or too thick ? i find after dissolve, not very thick lei ..and quite nice the milk. haha.

rona,
i also tried all the methods u mentioned to wean emre off his thumb sucking, but also no use de. *faint* dun noe what else to do liao..he got dry peeling skin and wound and redness on his right thumb.

re : walking.
emre also walking few steps on his own liao, pretty fast since he was a very late crawler (start crawling ard 8-9mths)

 

[tigg3r]

Yuuri

Did your hb managed to take the blueberry cake? Hope he's not allergic to the blueberries.

 

[mousse]

Hello mummies!

Just a question abt tmr party. The babies are either crawling or furniture-walking or walking independently. How are the teachers gonna manage them, huh? Paiseh, 'suaku' mummy here...

 

[dongzzz]

lts,
gg got her own character... cayla also stubborn at times

rona,
the cereals i was talking about are instant ones... just mix with milk and fruits/vege then can eat aledi...

babyemma,
oh no, the cereals you are selling is instant ones right? i dont want those tat need to cook...

cat,
bernice very clever, can nod and shake head... cayla still cannot, i ever ask cayla if she love me, she will kiss me... so heartwarming... i find that she likes to kiss other people too, duno whether is it bcos i kiss her too much!!!

m2b,
mae also very clever, can also shake & nod her head aledi? so cute... waiting for cayla to do that... cayla can also point to her head, nose, eyes and mouth... very funny, her favourite is nose... we always pinch her nose to make it sharper and tell her next time she will look pretty and she will let us pinch... very vain...


interrace,
dont understand why they must put the scoop so inside the tin, i had a hard time finding & need to use chopsticks to find it... me & krex was discussing that if use 3 scoops of enfagrow, it's about 169ml of water...

 

[reirei]

Rona
My sis used to cut away the teat of the pacifier and gave it to my nephew.
He realised dat there was nuttin to suck, so after a while he jus gave up!
My niece weaned off at abt 4yo. She's afraid of my BIL, so 1 fine day, my BIL decided to tease her for sucking her dudu...the next day, she said she dun wan dudu leh..hehe..

Cat, M2B
Char oni knows how to shake her head!

She probably learned it from my nephew who shook his head vigorously when he refused to take his meals..
Kids..learn best by observing!

 

[interrace]

dongle,

but bottle how to measure 169ml ? round off to 170ml of water for 3 scoop ? think i will do that then since emre also dun really finish his milk everytime de.
