iemik0,
My ger's cold turkey initially is ok. In fact the first day I did it, she just complain complain then zzz. 2 wks on was still ok. BUT this recent few days (after a 1 nite stay @ MIL) is terrible, she wakes up screaming and wont go back to zzz unless someone keeps her company in the room n sometimes, she wants pple to hug her to zzz.
So bo bian lor, gotta try the controlled crying method. Cold turkey n CC is not for the faint hearted.
good for hard-hearted mothers like me.
Tina,
If it's really tat bad, then dun wean her off lor... Cos thumb is different from tutu leh... At least u can wait till aft 2 years to apply that thing...
My colleague recently told me some other methods to wean tutu. But too bad I already started cold-turkey so no pt turning back.

Tina/Fong2,
Here is something I lifted off a webpage... Other than bitter juice can try plaster?
Placing a plaster or bandage around the thumb.
Painting the thumb with a bitter solution (available from pharmacies).
Custom made anti-thumb sucking dental appliance. (it is something they wear on the thumb...)

Zachmommy,
Some websites say that it may cause teeth or gum deformaties lar... Not too sure abt that thou.
Bubble,
U let him hold the toothbrush or u hold? One way is once the toothbrush goes in start moving it before he bites. If he bites, tilt the toothbrush upwards towards the nose. Heh... tat's wat i do lar...
Another method is to tell him is brush teeth time and tooth brush cannot bite one. Sometimes, they can understand. Then like wat Kath do, u can brush teeth to show him lor. Then u can say "see mama dun bite the toothbrush..."

thumb sucking
my girl has been sucking her thumb since she was a few months old. I don't really think its too bad cos at least she can self sooth. She only sucks her thumb when she is feeling sleepy. BUT i would like to wean her off the habit when she is around 2, so might try the bitter 'nail polish'. I don't think its bad for tooth alignment, my bro was a 2 finger 'sucker' when he was young, his teeth are perfectly straight, so are mine.
BUT prolonged habit is not good. I have a friend who has 1 thumb slightly longer than the other, apparently he only stopped his habit when he was quite old.

Hi Snowger n gals
Me can't really use PC now as i just did my lasik.. so on n off will surf net only
I asked my dentist about baby's toothpaste n brushing. Its good to start the habit of brushing teeth now. But regardless which toothpaste, if its contain fluoride or even state " least amount of fluoride", my dentist said its better not to use 1st. Unless our child knows how to spit out the toothpaste.
So i only brush brush her teeth.. not using toothpaste.
Tina, Ashlynne is getting better.. did not see her asking for tutu these 2 nites already.. crying also stop. I hope she just forever forget about her tutu...

zachmummy,
Ya I heard of it before! 4 years still eating tutu uh??? *aiyoh*
I oso heard tutu may also cause lip deformaties (i.e. the lip centre got one hole when the lips are already fully closed). My ex used to be lidat n he told me he loved his tutu when he was a child... So I guess parents gotta control use, things in moderation are always OK one.
My ah ma was a nanny last time and she told me some of the kids who go her place are lidat, cos the parents find the child v noisy so let them eat tutu the whole day...
Jowinbaby,
Ya, I read up on this and my colleague oso told me liao. That's why from the start when she was teething i nvr use the Kodomo one, tat one like got a bit of floride. Biotene First Teeth Baby Toothpaste has no floride inside n is made of natural milk enzymes. (http://www.just4teeth.com/Biotene-First-Teeth-Baby-Toothpaste). But each tube is quite costly lar...
U bring Ash go see dentist liao? I was thinking if it's necessary. Scared if the dentist v rough next time she dun wanna go dentist leh...

MAG MAG straw brush:
Just to share that Pigeon sells their own straw brush to brush the insides of the straw. It cost about $2.32 when I bot it from Taka. FYIP! Can squirt a bit of detergent and brush through the inside of straw. I feel it's cleaner than just rinsing with water lar..
I use Pigeon baby toothbrush-cheap cheap niah with First Teeth toothpaste.

Ivy,
There are many camps of thots abt storing BM. Reason about air thing is because of the freezer burn. So far it has nvr happened on the milk I store in bottles before.
From a personal pt of view, I won't say milk bags are btr bcos they can leak or even break due to streching in the freezer. But they are really more convinient (Can lie them flat in the fridge so got more space and the bags are already sterilised) plus can squeeze the air out lor, so it's like vaccum sealed.
VIA cups take up more space lar... And u might have to buy a lot of cups to store if u have plentiful supply. In this case milk bags are definetely cheaper, cos you can get a milk bag at about fourty cents each...

How to check for freezer burns?
I used both via cups n milk bags. To me, via cups were more convenient to warm coz sometimes the bags might crack n when warming might be wasted. They were easier to travel from home to IFC too. But.. Now I hv abt 50 via cups. they are quite useful too, I keep portioned fish/ meat in freezer. I also kept portioned veges n fruits..
I nv knew abt freezer burns b4. Haha..

Phyl/Ivy,
I only see freezer burn on meat before - the meat will have one patch of discoloration (i.e. bruised). Nvr happen to the milk leh.
Ivy,
I use my VIA cups to store n freeze pre-made stock. It's really worth the money!!!
I din use the milk bag organiser leh. I just stack them up in opposite directions and it works pretty well unless I overpack each bag...
Agree with Phyl when the bags break, it'll leak and get messy (not to mention EBM is sweet n sticky)...
I had a friend who pumps direct into VIA cups cos she was using the Avent manual pump then.
But u need the "converter" to fit the VIA cup to the pump.
Just to share, I dun pump direct into bags. Cos I use PISA, I pump into medela milk bttle to bring home. Aft tat I will transfer them into milk bags for storing if there is left over.
