soho, ya lor. sometimes really duno wat to do when they get out of hands. punish too hard on them also cannot. explaining also cannot coz too young. recently i juz use playpen as a punishment area which mean she cannot come out & play if she's naughty. cruel mummy. :p

hehee...scared of umbrella & wiper... something new. i think its a matter of time when our children get used to the 'weird' sounds. sometimes i want to laugh when seeing my gal scared of tis & tat.
 
lian

got... school got prepare delicious and nutricious porridge for lunch, and steamed veggie/fruit puree as afternoon snack.. so we usually will bring the cereal and fruit cube and ask the caregiver to feed him b4 we bring him back - save the hassle of feeding him at home *grin*

thanks

yah i did notice Rachel is the quieter one.. doesn't like to mix around? But tell you people will change as they grow.. Like my sis she last time younger like got 自闭.. always alone by herself and din talk much.. but as she enters poly wah totally changed.. become more sociable than me liao..

Lynn
glad ur boy begins walking.. jus let him practice all the time.. get him a proper walking shoe and encourage him to walk without support but with you guys near him for sense of security. Soon you'll start feeling tired cos you'll hav to follow and chase him around! like me!! -_-"
 
lian
very good qns...

Is fighting over toys considered one? Usually their caregivers will separate them and use something else to distract them. They dun cane definitely.

Based on our frequent 'peeping' and observation, we hardly see BBQ throwing tantrum there leh (either read/flip book, walking/KP around, playing, eating, sleeping)..

Sometime he do whine abit when we leave him there, but usually settle down quickly when his favourite caregivers come over (yeah he has few favourite one)

i think one main reason is probably due to most infant care/child care are not 1 to 1 so the caregivers are quite occupied...
u know our kids/babies are attention seeker, so if no one 100% focus on them they will not whine to seek attention one... that's what I think cos I do noticed BBQ whines more at home! -_-
 
Enrichment class:
Brot my rascal to her 1st trial lesson last sat at Little Nuero Tree.. Not too bad.. quite a bit of activities but some are stil not within their ability like matching game and recognizing animal's babies.. like cow/calf? horse/foal.. wah how they know.. so in e end also mostly done by mummies -_-" She more intersted in singing sessions and some of the acitvities. Flashcards she see a while nia than wan to get down from chair. Nex week one is in Japanese.. me wont b around in Spore, doubt she'll b interested anyway cos can't understand a shit they toking abt!
 
My gal having serious case of constipation! Sat and Sun can't poo poo.. see her sqeeze like hell also cun come out.. v kelian.. Then last nite put e bullet like wax into her pigu but stil not much help.. she was crying away like wan to pang but cannot come out.. Wah.. see liao v heartpain cos can see she's like giving out all her strength + red face + crying + sweating.. Really reminded me of someone giving birth.. yah.. it's that bad.. In e end MIL hav to carry her to the toilet bowl and dunoe how she do it squeeze from wher than 2 round sai pop out..
Haiz.. then they keep saying its becos i gave her houning and babaoshan during her flu/cough.. I felt angry they like putting blame on something i did but i mus admit i can't think of anything that could hav causes this.. cos last time she no problem in pang sai one.. I stil flew into rage when hubby brot it up again so i kind of screamed that at lease she's no longer having flu and cough! Think my mil saw that so she din mention abt it again and said she suspect mayb its becos of the milk powder.. cos e tod she looking aft taking Gain IQ also not good in bowel movement. My gal was on friso and changed to Gain IQ sometime back.. So last nite we change back to Friso again.. But i doubt thats e reason cos she has been taking Gain for sometime and her poo poo stil ok
 
nut,
at least your gal won't scream or cry like my boy, so she's still a good gal.

How i wish my boy can be half as good as ur gal..haiz..
I went to Zoo-phonics at serangoon central on sat, wanting to enroll my boy in both their weekday playgroup and also their weekend enrichment class, but their weekend classes are all fully booked. so no choice, can only enroll him for the weekday playgroup nia. very funny, they very strict in terms of the toddler's age, cannot start earlier, only can start when toddler is 18 months old.
sad.gif
 
moomummy
they set it up until like e tod sit by herself in front of table and we parents just sit right behind them.. But my gal dun wan! she kept coming down so in e end i've to place her on my lap lor.. Then now and then if she not intested in e activity she'll come down from my lap.. But i see e rest of the kids wah like v interested pay a lot of attention. My fren also brot her daughter ther so we were in e same class. Her daughter ok but she doens't like singing.. come to singing sessions she'll come down and stand far far away
 
Kiki:
I think you will have a boi.... coz it really seems so far for all those preggy after our Nov 08 babies, all boy... Mine is likely boy too but since still early, the gynae say better dun say confirm in case wrong... Haha.
 
Moomummy: So u going to start your boy on playgroup too? Me also planning to....

Kiki/Fifi: So exciting to know abt the gender yah!
But I hope the 'rule' won't apply leh haaa coz i want a gal! Oh well...:p

Healthy snacks: What do u mummies give in between meals and milkfeed??
I give raisins, fruits, Gerbers/Happy Bellies puff, Pigeon biscuit.
My boi really can eat at any time of the day man. Scared he overeat sometimes...
 
nut
hmm..i tink my boy oso dun like to sit on my lap one. his kar-cherng is jiam one leh.hahaah.. anyway, i'll let him start with those playgroup first, then move him on to those daily childcare once he's more or less settled down.
ur gal got constipation ah? got try to eat papaya? my boy usually will poo poo alot after he consumes papaya or apple. your gal needs to drink lotsa water too. and before my boy sleeps each nite, i will lay him down on the bed and massage his tummy in a clockwise direction. just a while will do, and usually he'll poo poo the next day effortlessly.
happy.gif
 
glad_gal
yah, think have to start my boy on a small scale first before moving on to a bigger scale.otherwise, i tink i'm going to waste $$ again by signing him up straight for those daily childcare.

Jes
yah, i enquired with them on sat and they say sat classes all full liao since they have oredi started it in Feb. But i have also put my boy on waiting list lah, just in case some parents pull their kiddos out of the class. :p
maybe u can put ur gal on waiting list too? no harm done, i guess. so how is ur new found tai-tai life so far?hehe..
 
peanut..
so will u be signing up LNT for nini?

lilian..
u r still on with LNT? i m thinking shd i sign brod up on mygym since it's nearer to my place :p esp also since sun is the only slot i can make it for such classes..r u still in touch with bibi? wonder if did she continue anot..hehe..

fifi..
when r u gg for ur detailed scan? it's soo wonderful if it's an opp gender..whatever gender, i hope u will get a smooth delivery too..hw's ur new job scope? busier?
 
moomum, ya perhaps will go and put her on waiting list? is the list long do you know? i supposed they dun hv sun classes rite? there's once when we popped by on a sun and they were closed.

no tai tai lah, as i was telling kiki, i'm turning yellow as time passes... hahaha
 
pnut, u got use "ruyi" oil? we used tat for our gal 2x a day and massage her tummy like wat moomum did and if got constipation then usually the following day the poo will come out liao. else barley water shd help oso.
 
jes
yah, zoo-phonics is closed on sundays. I dunno whether the list is long anot coz they only asked me to fill up a form and they say will call me once there's any vacancies.
aiyoh, you won't turn yellow lah. i tink u will only turn red after running after your kiddo ard the house! wahahaha..
 
wtan:
My detailed scan at 20 weeks. Now only 14 weeks. But coz the gynae that did my oscar test knows my hubs, he specially help us check the gender. Heehee. He say very likely male lah coz can see but to be sure, he say wait for subsequent scans.

My new job scope is a lot busier. See how often I come into forum and MSN you know le. But I feel more relaxed here coz my boss is nice compared to my previous AD.
 
hi mummies!
its been a while since i logged in here.

Any mummies here giving Wakodo FM to your tot? I think I am finally gonna give my girl a try. there are so many brands to choose from! But i think i might try with Wakodo since i have read that it is less heaty and closer to BM. =P

Liv,
my girl has stopped taking cereal for a long time already. she got real bored of it. but she eats regular oats for breakfast most days. usually with some bread, yogurt etc. she is pretty much taking regular food (as long as it is manageable for her to chew as she only has 6 teeth!).
 
fifi..
ah..now 14wks liao..can tell gender liao..i meant it's boy la..hehe..when i had Mav, ard wk 12th i got 80% confirmation on the gender..then during my next visit on 15th wk, gynae confirmed the gender all the way till i delivered..

when i had brod, ard wk 15th i got to tell from gynae, it was pretty "exciting" because i wanted a 2nd boy & it was rather "nervous"..actully wanted to keep the gender of brod to myself till i delivered but at the very moment, hubby opened gynae's door and got to hear from him "live"..argh..lol..

anyway, for brod, i did not reveal gender except to all mummies here & my #1 thread mummies..hehe..my IL were all guessing the gender to be a girl till the very day i delivered..they were all surprised when hubby showed them the video of brod..lol..

it's nice to hear that u r happier in the new job scope, althou busier but at least with a much more understanding boss really plays an impt part for us..esp working mummies here..niceeee...
 
lilian..
oh..u didnt sign up K with LNT? so she stopped attdg LNT already? hmm..indeed boys are more active i find, brod can climbed the sofa or chair & start "hopping" on it..it's soo dangerous nowadays leaving him alone in the living room while i just washed the milk bottle or pee..even when i poo poo also got to wait till he's alseep..wah..heng no LS so far man.. :p

hi haru..
maybe u can try to get some samples to let ur princess try out to see if she likes the taste? not sure if it's easy to find samples ard..but currently brod is taking karihome goat's milk as advised by doc aft his review for abt 6mths..but the goat FM is really very very expensive..NTUC alone is selling at S$48/tin..gosh..i think i have to ask for sponsorship soon at the rate he's drinking..keke..
 
hey mummies: my mice r not really scared of anything. esp gerard. so far nothing for him. but rachel & luke super scared of karang guni. everytime the lorry comes *peep peep peep*. they run to my mum. & also thunder. cos there have been intermittant thunder storms the last 2 weeks.

ah kiki: glad to know u r better & thanks for tabulating. errr... i forgot to tell u all the stuff will only arrive in 2 weeks time cos the cereal oos in their warehouse, arriving from usa last week of this mth. donno whether u all still want or not. for collection, i can 'deposit' at your or darlest's or liv's mum's house then the other 2 collect from the depositee cos all of u live in sengkang, easier. (for liv, it's "live" cos u often there.)

darlest, liv: ok bo?

ah lian: can order directly from the website. i always order until i know the guy by name already. haha. i didn't know abt the discount till a yr ago when one of the sept mummies jio a lot of ppl to order together & get discount.

fifi: congrats! u didn't tel me yesterday.

nut: yup. rachel is super quiet. but she can understand chinese much better cos she always sticks to me & my MIL. the other 2 can understand & speak more words in english. but can't understand much chinese. aiyah, don't say your sister 自闭. it is an illness leh. i know cos i have a nephew who is actually autistic. no joke for my cousin.

haru: long time no c! did H have a hard time weaning off? i remember my R cried & cried. i cried when i stopped pumping too.

peanut: My toddler is in schichida, she doesnt like the lessons at all, ever lesson 5 mins will wanna point the door and get out. U know how wasted my effort and $$...sigh

They do not have trial so that was the problem...also they do not allow refund or postonement, i definitely will not be signing on further.
 
peanut..
maybe u can check out this "Nu-Nai-Liang" from medical hall..i know some of my mummies girlfriends also bot for the kids to drink, then will not be as constipated easily..maybe u can try to chk it out..but glad that she poo..hehe..i think it's gd tat nini has a fren bubby attdg the class too..at least got company too..hehe..
 
olwen,
i have not started weaning her, but she does ask for "nin nin" now esp in the morning. its really cute coz she loves to touch and play with my face, etc when feeding and its just such a close bonding time. but as i have a work event later this year which i may have to be away from her for 2-3 days hence i was thinking may be good time to start weaning her.

wtan,
dun think i can get samples for the Jap FM. i do have samples of Friso from PD tho..=P
 
Few days ago i jus bought flashcard vcd from kiddy palace.. she also watch a while then lost attention liao.. i've to catch her back in front of the TV.. haiz.. ah bor.. she'll take her tutu and chaochao lie down on the bed and watch.. majiam more intersted in resting than learning wor..
 


Olwen,
How did u wean ur kids off BFing? I dun pump but latch daily. R is having milk strike now, she refuses to drink FM be it in a bottle or cup. She always ask for "neh neh".. and will cry very hard if i refuse to let her latch on...
