Minky's Issac got character de ah ... hehe.

I'm still having sticky Lucas ... nowadays whenever I'm ard, he gets so sticky to mi ... cant even go for a shower. When he sees mi holding my towel, he starts to follow mi so closely. After I sneak into the toilet quietly when he isnt aware, he will stand outside and cry non-stop, even MIL bluff him with milk sweets also no use. Finish eating his sweets already, stand outside the toilet and cry again.

yah, my maid will be bringing him to class from next week onwards. hope that she won't start to go astray after i let her go on her own.

helooo mummies,
had a loooong night yesterday coz my girl didnt wanna sleep till 1am!!! tucked her in bed at 845pm and she almost fell asleep when i opened her door to get some water and she woke up and whined for me and didnt fall asleep till 1am. we tried everything, patting her, letting her lay on our bed w us and hubby ended up really scolding her coz she was just refusing to go to sleep. and after she finally fell asleep, she still kept waking up and whine in thru e night. she woke up at 7am like nothing happened. i was just so frustrated coz to me sleep is a priority. and i always get irritated when she doesnt get enough sleep. really hope its just teething..tho i dun see any new teeth coming out..her 7th and 8th tooth just came up 2 weeks ago.

re: food
altho my girl dun have much teeth, we pretty much let her have anything we have as long as its not too salty and tough. so tofu, eggs, soup, are her usual dinners. lunch is normally macaroni, porridge, pasta, kway teow, egg noodles..breakfast on weekday mornings is bread and oats (w grandma!) and pancakes, bread, fruits or yogurt on weekend mornings with us.
 
Mummies,
Nat refuses to eat any meat. Is it good enough to cook her porridge/macaroni in home made (pork/chicken/beef) stock? She also dun want cereal/oats/bread/biscuits.... anything fortified with the right nutrients for tods.

juz weigh her this morning.... still at 8.9kg

understand how u feel.. i'll b worried sick as well if my gal eats like that.. In the meantime yes.. give her porridge/noodles/macaroni in meat stock.. If she likes soup a lot, make lots of nuitritious ones for her to drink.. How abt pediasure? Thats for fussy eater.. mayb u can try.
 
aly_nat, u mean Nat spit out t meat or refuse anything cooked with meat?
Dun tink stock is sufficient.
U can refer to recipes for vegans. Beans and Tofu are good source of proteins. Some vege r high in iron.

sometimes my gal also like that, dun sleep well keep waking up and whine.. then nex morning wake up stil looking afresh as if she has had a good nite sleep!! while me like a zombie.. see her like that makes me even more mentally unstable hor..
Last nite she also whined quite a # of times.. then there was once i woke up seeing her standing in her cot looking at me as if she's ready to wake up!!! piangz!! scare e hell out of me.. and it was only 4+am. I quickly scolded her and asked her to sleep back, which she did.. luckily..
 
nut

minky
ur boy really v got character leh...

aly nat

Alibaba
yah this morning i got post wat.. back from Great Wall and i'm a 好汉 liaoz...
Ah Ni ah... i'm crossing my mouth... *pantang*

Jo
aiya talk abt it man.. i go toilet she also stand outside bang e door cry like mad.. even thou all people at home -_-"
 
Nut,
I didn't dare to give pedisure. On one hand, pediasure has the right nutrients, but on the other, its fats n sugar content also very high. Not worried abt the fats, but am concerned that sugar might cause phelgm. I know it might be ok for some, but both my gals r the "phelgmy" sort. The phelgm build-up can be so thick that it will cause her to throw up her food. My #1 was also like that.

Lian,
She either gagged on meat, or she will spit it out once it gets into her mouth. She likes those flavorful soup made from pork/chicken/beef, though. With only 4 upper and 4 lower teeth, and her fussiness, I've run out of idea what to give her. She ok with tofu. Eggs - only if it's steamed. brocoli n spinach - must be finely chopped n cooked until it almost disappear - I think the iron content also gone liao.

alibaba,
fish ah? I also have to chop the threadfin finely, then add it into her porridge just before serving. That's the only way to get her to eat fish. She used to enjoy salmon n cod. now also dun want.
 
Good evening!!!

Nat,
my PD ask mi to give pediasure too, but till now i bo give leh. cos my girl very petite as well n slight under weight. she is not even 9kg yet.......

sticky toddlers,
ah... so everyone is having sticky toddlers. mi too. i ma chiam cannot get out of her eye sight like tat. once out i hear.. "MUMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!" then i have to faster reappear in front of her... ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz
 
sorry for the late replies..was swamped dwn in work lately..hubby keeps having headache lately and is not feeling well..then Mav is down coughing badly AGAIN..sian..on/off keeps being sick..sometimes see him cough till the whole body soo "stress & tensed" up i also "cake-sim"..

babyzel..
so now r u trying to stop bfg or u gg to continue? u can also try to put newspaper in case u cant get to find bigger pc of plastic..

lilian/darlest..
wah..u both very steady leh..no seasoning soo far ah..so no outside food also? i hv already started added in the seasoning once Brod turns 1...also my MIL feeds him outside food for what i know..i cant stop her so can only close 1 eye..

lilian..
when did u start feeding K the highlanders rainbow rice ah? wah..u really very hardworking leh..i think that kind of diff grains of rice will hv to cook for a longer period...but indeed taste very nice..i only tried 五谷米 for Mav but some grains are not as easy to "soften" so really need to grind them aft cooking..

darlest..
thks for the url..indeed useful for all mummies here..

fifi/ali..
hw's preggy life for u both..time passes very fast..so do enjoy urselves now as much..

nut..
whc other parts did u visit? any interesting culture or habits to share?
 
wtan, I only feed K t rainbow rice once a while. Onli wkends then i can prepare her meals.
T mix grains in the sachets r oredi grind, so it cooks pretty fast. As for 五谷米 , they r tough so I grind them myself (in large qnty) b4 cooking. Hardworking? hmm... guess i dun have a choice lor
No la, K does eat outside food, but only as a 'side dish' after her own home-prepared food.

*yawn* so tired....
 
lilian,
Y so tired? Last nite too busy making "human" never sleep ah? Hehez.

wtan,
Hope your boy recovers soon.
 
wtan
haiz... we kelian daiz... our kids keep on off falling sick! Yes... when see her this morning fever+cough+runny nose.. my 1st feeling is GEK SIM!!!! like you!!!!!
 
ah nut, even cross mouth oso no use...
She was OK when u returned from beijing? She in contact w anyone sick these few days?
 
Ah lian
Yah lor!! cross mouth also cannot!! piangz..
She was ok yesterday but nite time sleep start having block nose and kept crying lor..
The tod my mil looking after kept sneezing yest morning la.. dunoe issit she passed e virus to her not..
 
Peanuts,
For blocked nose, u may used nasal drops that can bought from Pharmacy, it helps to relives nasal congestion.
There is this brand called Sinomarin Momodose that i get from the clinic, it is very effective for nasal congestion, u may want to try.
 
hi mummies!
I'm back to work force today... feel so much alive but strange!

and dun ask me my baby gender cos yest scan baby won't cooperate so cant tell yet!
 
seasoning/food
kiki the organic mum started adding some kikoman light soya sauce to marinate meat for bbq's porridge some time ago..

miso is another good idea but those normal miso available tend to be quite saltish.. will suggest u all to buy the unsalted/not-too-saltish version (organic preferred :p), with the miso fragrance and not too saltish :D
 
nut
if can hor I will advise u try not to let nini sleeps in aircon room till she gets better. Yes it will be hotter but she can breathe better. You can switch on the aircon to cool down ur room temperature first then switch it off and turn on ur fan.

And Humidifier in aircon room will spoilt your aircon very fast! We kanna that!
 
i miss u all too !

miss ahlian ahnut ali ahwen ahjes ahbear ahminky ahsnowwy ahtriangel ahchilipadi ahmummy2nia ahfifi and everyone.. 排名不分先后k
 
nut, i agreed with kiki not to let ur child sleep in aircon room esp when she is sick. my gal has the most sensitive, her pd also say it better not to let my gal sleep in aircon room. like wat kiki say, i will on for 15min to 20min to cool down the room, then i will switch off the aircon and on the fan. if their nose is block, they will not able to breath and sleep properly, tat why they will keep waking up crying.

if the aircon not cold, service the aircon. i hav lobang also. the guy who help me service the aircon very gd and affordable. when i 1st move in to my place, i didnt changed the aircon, but i get someone to service the aircon, now it like as gd as new.

What happened to ur gal? Brought her to the doc already?
I realise Lucas tends to fall sick almost once every mth since this yr started .. dunnoe issit bcos I'm losing control of his junk food intake.
Hope Nini recovers soon that lets meet up again.
 
kiki,
"retired" HR suan bu suan?

before u go on reading, pls note that the Employment Act provides for the basic terms and working conditions for all types of employees except those employed in managerial, executive or confidential positions, seamen and domestic workers. So if u fall into the mentioned, u can stop reading liao. Even if u fall within the act, the outcome can be quite situational.

I am no expert in HR. But would be happy to help help n KPO a bit. Anyway, hope they dun create trouble for you.
 
aircon
