Fong2 i think it should be oz.

Sam thank you! I just submit hope no problem to the photo, I didn't take with white back ground..it's not easy to get a good shot my wriggling worm.
You mean they give us a date and time to pick up the passport? wow so advanced liao.
 


jlow,

no, you can book a date and time to pick up your passport - it's not auto - they just tell you when it's ready up to you to book .. much better than waiting around. I got my passport at more or less the appt time that I booked. The lady said they are trying to encourage more ppl to do the same.
 
i agree wif sam..it is so hassle-free to do everything online!! There's practically 0 waiting time. The moment i scan in my queue number hv not even walked in the waiting area, my number was being called! Talk abt being efficient..hehe
 
same here .. i went in and barely 2 min later, it was my turn .. you gotta love technology .. as kath says .. do everything online, man .. so much easier .. lol!! I hate queueing etc.
 
LIttle Rabbit,

sure .. let me look at my receipt ... the shop is called Mums Love Babes at #02-08 Sembawang Shopping Centre. the phone number is not on the receipt leh .. maybe u can call the operator to get their number.

I bought the last one they had .. but it's a common brand Lucky Baby .. just that this model is slightly cheaper than the other Lucky Baby models I've seen so far .. cos it's just a simple walker .. CANNOT convert to rocker. U can try to call them to see if they have new stock comin in though ..

yes, let me download the pics off my camera now and post it asap. wait a while .. he he
 
iemik0,

Last year the present for my hb is 2 days before his Bday noticed I was pregnant and this year the present will is our 5 mths old bb to celebrate with him.

Little rabbit,

Here is my gal in her walker.

We try out different walker at Kiddy Palace Tampines. They got a wide collection, around 8 walker. Luckily the shop attendent never scream at us. My gal onli will smile at this one. Think it is $59.90 or $69.90. The brand is Puku. Maybe u want let ur gal go try out b4 u buy.
 
pastillies,

The salon is called Bee Choo. Chantalle told us about it. I am quite happy. Though I still losing hairs but lesser than before. Really hope it is a good sign.

U been dropping hairs for 2 months? Think u must have alot of hairs initially. Cause I only drop 2 weeks n I feel bald liao.

Yap, agree that nowadays bb are very smart. My gal seldom cry but will scream a bit or pretend to cry to get her way, like asking my mum to bring her downstairs jalan jalan, asking us to carry her etc. Once she got her way, she will 偷笑, smiling without our notice. Yet everytime we oblige.

Zachmommy,

Can I have 2 tubes of First Teethpaste? Talking about my daughter bo gay (no teeth), her teeth is about to erupt cause can see whole of white teeth but still cover by some flesh. But hor, not her front teeth that come out 1st, it is the teeth next to the front teeth. Any1 bb is like that?
 
Snowger,
Really, so the info for the organic vegs & fruits link come just in time
happy.gif
I'm going to start ordering once I've done the allergy test on Bryan on the types of food he is ok with. Like next week will start with puree pumpkin for 4 days, then move on to sweet potato for another 4 days etc...

Luthadel
Thanks for the link!

Snowger
Thanks for remembering about me! Actually, I forgot about it liao. Cos that time I ask my hb if we can do organic food for bb and he said that it's too expensive and inconvenient to get, so I also didn't bother to look around. But now if this shop can delivery, then I hope to get to him to reconsider again! keke..
 
ypg,
where's bee choo?
ermm ya, i think i used to have a lot of hair...but now i feel quite "light" le..with all the hair dropping
sad.gif


yah! my boy was playing happily inside, but when we walk away he started to cry, then when we carry him out, he stick his tongue out *faintz*

Adeline,
check with u ah, u going to start bryan on semisolids rite...but u only going to do that at home or also let the IFC feed him? Cos my IFC dun allow me to bring in outside food, means i cant make my own puree for him
sad.gif
so i think i can only do it at home....which means after work. but i read that starting on semisolids is better to be done in daytime, instead of nite time rite.
haiz..caught in between dunno how....
 
Hey ladies,

My memory is getting bad oredy...i rmb one of u posted a link on weaning babies but i couldnt find it after scanning thru the past threads?

Can anyone give me the link again plse? Thks!!
 
Ladies, just a note for those who intend to buy walkers: Please buy those with a very broad base type. A broad base will prevent baby to topple if they happen to speed very fast.
 
Luthadel,
I oso thinking of getting some organic stuff for my ger ger to start off leh... But I dun think I can order $30 worth! Wanna check if NTUC/Cold Storage/Market place got sell organic pumpkin. Wanna start my ger on that maybe this weekend. U doing allergy test? From PD?

Echo,
I was the one who replied u on where to get organic food... There is a shop in Chinatown that sells fresh organic produce. Come to think of it, maybe I should go there n buy hor? :p

pastillies,
For semisolids, I read the Gina Ford book. U should start off by giving during the lunch feed. i.e. starting with a small teaspoon. Once the baby is ok with it, you can shift it to dinner time. Since ur IFC dun allow, u can always start on a Saturday. Then ur bb eats on Sat & Sun for lunch then on Monday onwards, u can give it during dinner feed.
happy.gif


Bur,
U got get the Mamy Poko? I ask my hb to send wor. If I noe u meeting Kath, I will have passed the sample to her... :p
 
pastillies
My IFC allow us to bring our own puree for our babies and in fact if we don't want to use their in house supply of rice cereal (nestle), we can also bring our own.

For now, I've started Bryan on 4 tsps of rice cereal mixed with milk for lunch and dinner. So far, he seems to enjoy the cereal very much and will eh eh at me loudly if i feed him too slow or if I talk to someone and slow down the feeding! hahaha.

When I intro other solids like pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes or fruits etc, I'll give it to him in the afternoon, then rice cereal for dinner. Only when he has establish full solid (i.e. replacing 1 milk feed) will I include vegs, fruits into his rice cereals for both meals.

So for now:
11am - Milk first then rice cereal (using balance milk to mix the cereal)
5/6pm - Milk first followed by rice cereal (again using balance milk to mix the cereal)
10pm - His last milk feed (this will last him till his next feed in the morning).

So far, I started with 1 tsp of rice cereal on Sat when he was 1day from 6mths then Sunday I increase to 2 tsps and have since increase a tsp of rice cereal each day.

Snowger
No lah, I do the 4 days food tolerance observation per intro of a new food item. That is recommended by most books + my pd told me to do the same thing as well.

Best to intro 1 new item at a time
- so if you want to intro pumpkin, give pumkin for the feeds for the day and keep it that way for 4 days. If reaction occurs, you'll know what causes it. Once that is establish, you can moved on to the next item like carrot or sweet potatoes etc...

Hope that helps
 
gals, juz got update from Smile Warehouse, they onie got 6tubes of First Teeth left and it is at $6.95/each. EXPENSIVE!!!! I will hv to source elsewhere...

2ndbb, u want 2more Desitin?? I still hv leh..haha. I myself got 9 tubes which after i calc cannot finish using by next year..ooopsss.. super greedy of me.

I intend to start Zach on cereal this weekend..LC told me since Zach need so much milk at each feed it is obvious that milk cannot satisfy his hunger liao - i dunno how true it is cos I suspect he has been puking alot in school due to overfeeding (his bibs n clothes all reeked the smell of his milk..yucks!)

I am on MC today (have fever..dunno y my breast very pain) n so Zach is wif me..i will let him drink 170ml every 4hrs to see if he can take it..
 
pastillies
hehe. i chose kayson coz i like d meaning n both my bois' name got same meaning. hehe.

adel
saw ur schedule for feeding bryan.

by rite, shud feed cereal 1st followed by milk. recommended by dr n dieticians. =)

jowin
bb drink quite alot of milk. hehe. im still trying to get kayson to drink 5oz. he is drinking lesser since i took him away from mil pl. dono y onli she can manage to feed him drink 200ml. i muz perserve!! =p
 
Hey ladies,

My memory is getting bad oredy...i rmb one of u posted a link on weaning babies but i couldnt find it after scanning thru the past threads?

Can anyone give me the link again plse? Thks!!
 
hhahaa.. Fong2 u are funnie to say bb suffering from bulimia.. Dun worry lah, my baby also like that. Think they suck their fingers until too excited thats y vomit abit of milk. Its hould be fine ah.
 
Milk intake:
wow... think Kasia milk intake as a gal is tremendous... haha... must have inherited her parents' big appetite! she is taking 180-200ml every 3hrs, 5 feeds a day, which means her max intake is 1000ml! hee... but she's in the 50% percentile weight, in fact PD say must let her sleep more to gain weight ;p

iemiko:
i heard from experienced mummies dat when BBs are teething, their milk intake will drop (dun knw y). Did u check Kayson's gums, if there is any signs of teeth? ;)

weaning:
i seem to be the lazy mummy here, nvr check out the process of weaning or source for organic food! ah... 1 more mth before i start Kasia on solids. any BBs not satisfied with their milk intake? Kasia is drinking almost 200ml now and she still wan more recently after each feed... i refuse to give her more first... if she persists, then mebbe i will start solid 1-2weeks earlier as milk alone may not be able to satisfy her liao!
 
carmen
no lei. kayson not teething wor. din c any white spots. all along, he drinks lesser when wif mi n hb. he simply juz wana play wif us instead of drink. haha. laz wk he onli drank 2oz n tis up up to 5oz. quite big accomplishment to mi. =p
 
iemik0
Oh, my PD advise to give milk first then cereal 'cos for now, milk is still the key source until they can take full solid. At that time to give them rice cereal first then milk if required.
 
my zayden (coming to 6mth) only drinks 150ml every 4hrs and 180ml for last feed of the day. he is taking 2 times 4tbsp rice cereal since 5th mth.
 
Carmen, wah..Kaisa now drinking more than Gerard leh! he is still taking 160-180ml..

Sian..1 colleague just tender and early next mth he is leaving..my boss just throw one of his areas to me...haiz..i want to tender also...but still have another 10mths to go before i can...cos i am still serving bond.

Mummies, can i ask a v stupid Q! Is it v stupid for me to downgrade myself as in working position but in order not have so much stress?? I cannot take it when i have to attend to emails and calls when i am on leave..just like ytd! I bring my boi for injection and end up..Japan colleagues call me and i have to do teleconference. My hb has to bring my boi in for injection when it is his turn...i feel so guilty! I dun mind earning less...but i want more time w my boi...imagine, i knock off only like 8-9pm daily...if lucky i can go off b4 7pm..
 
iemiko:
hoho... then bo bian liao lor, dat means to Kayson, parents are "playmates" more than "food providers"!! haha... Kasia looks to me more for food and changing diapers. she knw her daddy is a better playmate than mummy!!! hahaha...

Iris: ooooh... Zayden starts solid liao har??? me tempted to try this wkend leh.. but HB wan to start later... let me think abt it... ;)

Jocelyn:
ya, same with Chantalle, i think if yr financial situation allows, y not.. but wat makes u think by downgrading, yr company will "let u off".. company is like dat: once u shoulder certain level of responsibilities, they could still be expecting u to do the original tasks. unless yr company JD and Job scope super clear and segregated, if not it will be hard for u to draw the line even if u dwngrade.

Ah! for me, downgrade is definitely not an option lor...
 
adel
reali ah? so funni. hehe. coz if give milk den cereal, bb wun know when to stop n will kip eating = obescity.

carmen
ya lor. hehe. now i alwaz ask daddy to play wif him more. hehe.
 
hello mommies,

long time no post.. but i've been doing a quick glance on the forum whenver possible.. been so busy at home and at work..

today #1 is unwell.. so at home taking care of him..

i'm gonna do some online shopping from drugstore/amazon.. anyone interested?

planning to place order by end of this week (16th May).. coz i need to get something for my bois urgently..
PM me.. thx thx..
 
iemik0
Dun know leh but PD said now milk is still the key food for baby and cereal is just at intro stage. So if feed cereal first, Baby may be too full for milk. So if feed milk first, baby already full so when intro cereal, they will eat with moderation. Different school diff thoughts leh. For me, this work well so I just stick to it lor.

However, having said that, once baby has reach full cereal intake capacity, I'll do the reverse. Ie. Rice Cereal first and milk if required.
 
bbpearl, i understand how u feel abt downgrading to a less stressful job. I always tell my hb tat too but he will always remind me tat if i earn lesser, meaning i hv to spend lesser to n adjust to spend by my means which i dunno i can or not lor.. hee

I intend to start solid for Zach this Saturday!! He seems not satisfied wif milk anymore.. hehe.. try on Saturday then if he likes will try every weekend in school still give him milk onie.. oh..the IFC practises cereal + BM then remaining BM..
 
Wow Carmen, your gal can really drink alot. My gal only drinking 120ml, avg 5 feeds per day. PD said she is under 25% percentile. My PD told me all babies can start on semi-solid food from 4mths onwards. But i still feel that its too early, better stick to 6mths+ onwards.
 
gals,
My PD also told me to give cereal then milk. But I read Gina Ford, she recommends to give milk then cereal esp if u intro before 6mths. Giving solids b4 six months is not for weaning but to introduce taste of solids and getting them to be used to moving food in their mouth...

I tried both ways with my ger. If I give cereal b4 milk, she can't finish milk. If I give milk first, she can finish all the milk + additional cereal (I suspect cos she LOVES the cereal VVVV much!). So if u ask me which is btr (since my ger drinks little), I will choose the second... *haha*
 
cereal or milk first
I read that for BF babies, it should be milk first then solids, because milk still provides most of the nutrition for babies. So I suppose the same thing should apply for FM?

Also I plan to still provide same amount of milk for Emma, so that solids should supplement milk, not replace it. At least for the first few months. When Emma is closer to 1 year old (maybe 9 months?) then I might want to decrease the amount of milk.
 
Hayden drinks 180ml 3hrly. i replaced 1 feed with rice cereal and if he is hungry after that, i will latch him. in between feeds in the afternoon i give him apples or bananas.

He is 8.86kg liao!
 
Fong2,
Dr. at NSC say it's small problem, gave some cream to apply... i told him its the PD who ask us to c him leh...

Jowin... paiseh... next week lunch together....cause initially oni kath & me cause she passing me her diapers to try...

Snowger, thanks! i have not open my letterbox yesterday... will let u know once i rec'd...

Phyl, wah... hayden's is 8.86kg!!! almost 2kg more than nini...

me gg to start my ger on solid this wkend cause recently she can't seems to finish her milk... she drinks 150ml every 3hrly...gg to try sweet potatoes first....
 
Hayden is a solid baby... hahaha.. NiNi is so nice to carry.. haha.. not like Hayden.. carry him like carry rice what wiggles...
 
chantelle - my hubby always call my gal pang pang tang. -_-" But recently i think she didn't gain much weight, sort of like slimmer abit.. That's y i will think she's suffering fr bulimia lor.. of late everyday sure will vomit milk after she suck her fingers. Haiz..

Bur - Dr at NSC never say wat's the prob ah? Wat sort of cream he gave u to apply on ur gal?

Jowin/Jlow - So it's in oz. Ok, will calculate based on that.
happy.gif
 
Bur
My PD said that before six months should just do rice cereal. After six mths then can do normal food. Cos I also wanted to start my girl on sweet potato first.
 
bubble,
think u've got to consider whether there's any chance in future u wanna resume back the working position tt u have now. Coz once u decide to downgrade, it's gonna be difficult to gain back to the position that you wan. But if i were you, i'll choose to downgrade coz once u miss the growing up years for ur bb, u can never turn back time. Whereas for your job, 1) nobody is indispensable; 2) worse come to worse u can look for new job...

ask ur hubby to support u la.. then u can be tai tai =)
