happy, i know that face haha..its cute isnt it..the babies are smart..he recognises not the shape of the container but the details on it. although they cant read or understand the words, they recognise the canister by images, colors and associate it with the pleasant taste. you usually give straight from the canister itself right? and ur xavier is so cute, can comb hair and fan himself..my girl cant do that lor haha
sandy, can i ask u sth? (i guess u have become our official consultant : )
i forgot what u were studying and what doctor ur husband was. but maybe u can help me.
my girl has this habit of playing with hair, especially when she wants to sleep. at first she used to play with my hair with one hand while her other hand thumb is in her mouth. i managed to stop her from doing that by putting her to sleep on my lap rather than carrying her in my arms. but now she started to play with her hair
and she likes to play with yarns, the laces on her clothes, anything which looks like a thread.. how can i stop her from sucking her thumb and playing with her hair. i tried holding her arms. but she doesnt give up the habit. the next sleep, she again reaches out for her hair, and wants to put the thumb in her mouth. is this a very bad habit?
any advice from you or other mummies here?

hi gamze, my thoughts are that ur baby has found a security item, i.e. Ur hair. I guess almost every baby has one security item can be pillow, stuff toy, in this case the hair. Has she been carried the way that she gets access to ur hair and successfully fallen asleep, and since young? If yes then she may hav cultivated this association and needs it to fall asleep cos this is the way she feels secure. Just like some babies need a specific pillow, specific bolster or specific doll to sleep with. Now that she has noticed her hair, or anything that resembles it, she recognises it as her security item n take a liking towards it. Does ur baby use the pacifier? Becos sucking is a natural instinct n provides comfort so finger sucking is also a natural habit. Some parents offer pacifier so that its easier to break the habit. It is not a bad habit now becos she is still a baby but u can start weaning her off the thumb by telling her daily becos they can now understand what we say. It will take time and wont happen overnight, u can try telling her while removing her thumb repeatedly so that she learns not to do it. To me, it is not a bad habit playing with her hair but if u r concern, u may try introducing another object for her to be attached to. I think babies like textile stuff thats why there r taggies, cloth books, laces etc. U can explore n see what she likes. Just my point of view. Other mommies may hav better ideas

Lonerunner,
Full time job to recognise their titbits!!! wahahahahhahahaha but dont think happybellies will entertain us unless we can buy in bulk right? seems like many babies here like the puffy puffy, should be easy to do BP here hehehehe
Overload,

Hey, your post made me laughed so hard, good way to start the morning on a rainy day
i can imagine that! neatly comb hair with a fan on one hand, and puff on the other... hmmmm unfortunately, he cant comb his hair neatly, he can only help to mess up his hair and he cant self feed with the puffs leh... when we have time, we should video his comb hair and fanning moments and post it on FB, so that everyone else can have a good laugh wahahhahahahhahahha okok, will do that after his bday celebrations this sun
Sandy,
Yes, I will open the canister in front of him and pour into a bowl then feed him lol, then the moment he sees that canister, woah, really happy de lor hahahahhaha.. so i was thinking is he recognising the images or the shape or what hahahhaha
tell u all sth funny... the other night we went to NTUC and he saw the puffs, so we had to buy that canister as he refused to let go of it haha, then in the end, he hug the canister to sleep, OMG!!!!

deedee:
gynae advised c-sec for #2. cant dilate to 10cm (forgot the medical term!). And even if can, previous pelvis facture might prevent normal delivery too.
But I might be siao enough to try normal again. maybe I get lucky this time round and can dilate? cos c-sec wound really slow to heal and recover! Not to mention getting back into shape! I can still vividly remember the extreme pain that shot out when the knife cut thru my tummy and the 2 clips at each side during c-sec. Since normal and c-sec are both painful for my case, I tot I might just try normal again? hahaha! I must be mad. I must be MAD!!

sandy,lonerunner, thks for ur reply. wat if it's not pelvis or our own problem, will you opt for normal or c-section?
i had c-section bcos my gal's cord was too short. i waited almost 10hrs ended up c-section. i got phobia to go thru the pain again. oso c-section took longer to heal as compared to normal birth. my gynae said i can go for normal birth for #2 if i wish.

sandy thanks a lot for the reply. yes, she used to sleep on my shoulder but at the time she didnt pull my hair. but a few times my husband and family members wanted carry her to sleep, and she refused to sleep with them. then she started to secure herself by holding onto my hair (maybe to make sure i dont pass her to anybody else..) my worry is she will become obsessed with this. she has already associated my hair with sleeping. if my hair accidently touches her, her thumb automatically goes inside her mouth.. a bit funny actually
deedee, as far as i know, the doctors usually advise to go for c-sect for baby #2 if ur #1 was a c-sect, UNLESS the reason which caused u to have the fırst c-sect can be eliminated and ur doctor is so sure that ur c-sect wound wont be strained during a vaginal delivery when ur pushing too hard.

deedee, in this case maybe u can go for VBAC although there is always a risk of uterine rupture for VBAC. U gotta discuss this with ur gynae.
Lonerunner, its arrest in dilatation ah. I think its unlikely to dilate if u didnt for the first. My hb's aunt had 4 kids all via c section. She did not dilate for all births.

hi mummies
Juz came back from short 3days getaway wifout bb. Wah harder than i expected. Kept calling home and sms to check on bb. Phonebill will ripped me off next mth. See bb fotos and cried. Boohoo. I am not looking forward to go bk flying. But too late for regrets.
Re: bb's milestone comparison
My bb is the slowest in motor skills here i tink. Leopard crawl at 8.5mths and only last mth he can sit stablely wifout toppling. But i come to terms every bb develops at own pace and will catch up sooner or later. Why stress ourselves unnecessarily?
Monday blue, why should u be disgruntled? As a mummy we all love to gush about our bb. And i am sure these mummies dun haf intention to compare or gloat. Just proud of our darlings accomplishment. I am so proud of my bb of whatever he can achieve no matter how miniscule it can be.

I tried prima deli cupcakes. Not nice. Your bb bday party barney theme too?? Mine also. He just learnt to dance while sitting when hear the theme song. I just got mini figurines of barney to use as cake topper.

overload:
dun remind me of that
I've got myself a CL from hell. I needed to protect my bb from harm. tats why.
Anyway I will learn from my previous confinement experience and see wat I can do to prevent a reoccurance. Before I hire, I will do some basic interviews with her to test her on her knowledge on confinment cooking for c-sec delivery(this I will ask my TCM doc to help me with e interview) and bb handling (dun shake my bb like making teh-talek!). I will not place my trust on recommandations solely as before.
But in the event that after all these precaution, she is still from hell, then I will terminate her immediately and hire either a daycare helper, or ask around to see if any CL is available. I dun wan to subject myself to verbal and mental torture again.
actually looking back, I really duno how I survived my last confinement and still BF till today. I must have been a super headstrong figure then. hahaa!

lonerunner, hope ur #2 will be smooth sailing with no devil CL.
Overload, actually i didnt use straw but went straight to open rim cup feed using doidy. I started her at 6mths. Initial phase its messy n yes u wudnt know if she drank any thats y i didnt rely solely on it for her water in take. I spoon feed water at the same time. But after 1 mth of training, theres little spillage so i stopped spoon feeding n give direct from cup. Maybe u can try the doidy if u want open rim, if nt u can try sippy. In any case, all requires a fair bit of patience n training.

overload, i'm using doidy cup, it's slanted so it's easier to see the water content coming out. i'll usually tilt the cup such that water is near the tip and then let her drink, can see that she swallows and then if she wants more, she'll open her mouth too, but if i tilt too high or if water comes out too fast or too much for her, yes it does spill. At this stage, she's still drinking a mouthful, swallow, then mouthful again, not continuously yet. I'm still in the process of training. Actually my purpose is not really to train her to drink from cup, rather it's to train her to drink water first! But of cos, i'll be glad if she can drink from cup well! keke
sandy, VBAC? so chim! ok will ask my gynae when i see her next week.

USA Grad Student Research with Singapore Parents - Quick Survey
I am a graduate student at the University of St. Thomas in the United States (Minnesota), currently participating in a study abroad course in Singapore at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technical University.
For my doctorate program I am conducting a research study in which I am requesting your assistance. The study is to learn more about couple's relationship as they take on the role of parenthood. Since this website is designed for parents, I thought you and/or someone you knew may be interested in helping me with this project. I am hoping to compare my data from USA parents to Sinagpore parents.

I am a graduate student at the University of St. Thomas in the United States (Minnesota), currently participating in a study abroad course in Singapore at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technical University.
For my doctorate program I am conducting a research study in which I am requesting your assistance. The study is to learn more about couple's relationship as they take on the role of parenthood. Since this website is designed for parents, I thought you and/or someone you knew may be interested in helping me with this project. I am hoping to compare my data from USA parents to Sinagpore parents.

blueb, wah you even go for makeover. have fun and let me know how it goes. I am still thinking as my sister wedding was last weekend and the photographer took quite a lot of his photos cos my boy kept smiling at him. so hb said wait to see how it turns out to be.
gamze, my boy recently kept putting his finger into his mouth after seeing my friend's gal who kept doing it, within the next hour after seeing that, he started doing it. Daddy will tell him that he dont like and he will cry. but mummy tell him not to do it, he totally ignore me. but when I say daddy dont like it, he understands and will take his finger out. its funny how he understands and after about 2 weeks, he stopped doing it. but once a while, he likes to test market by doing it for his daddy to see.
may I know where can I buy happybellies puff? that bp collection place not convenient for me.
sandy, i also wanna ask you something. somehow my boy cant seem to digest food that well. he cant eat too much/full or he will vomit. or if he takes more lumpy food like bread, pasta, etc, he will vomit his food out. recently he takes lesser milk too, so I thought I should increase his solid intake, but then he will vomit out his food.any mummies got any suggestions on what I can do.

deedee:
lucky u leh. juz put it as I'm one of the super 'suay' mothers whose body system either cannot take drugs well, or is already so immured to the counterpain drugs (I was on it some years back for a long time) that they have no effect on me. by rite c-sec isnt supposed to be painful at all.
I had epi and was numb from neck down. but the drugs had numbed only my rite tummy and not my left. so u can imagine the pain that came the moment the knife went in luckily my gynae was very fast so within 5min bb was out liao while the horrified doc who did the anaesthetic frantically increase the dosage repeatly until 6x! hahaha!
My CL? orrr she refused to wake up at nite n bring bb to me for latch on or change diaper when she cried every 1hr+. gave me blackface or tell me do it myself - all becos I chose to BF bb instead of give FM as CL demanded I shld. So I have to sit up, walk over to the cot, carry bb up, walk back to bed, latch her on, carry bb back to cot then back to my own bed. Then me 1st time mum duno how to sit up properly after c-sec. Hb is away on overseas trip until 2 weeks later so I got no help. These are good enough to tear stitches lor. she actually blamed me instead for not giving FM tats why bb every 1hr needed milk cos she's starving. And best, my mil actually believed her! alamak! not all newborn's milk interval is 4hr wat! cannot wake up for nite feeds say so lah! the way she handled newborns ah, it was a miracle that my bb din suffer from head concussions or sprain necks.
PS: CL was mil's younger sister's 20yr+ friend.
overload:
actually having a CL is good cos help to take care of bb. If if the CL is more of hinderance than help ah, then no point already. I shld have done wat u did but CL was a friend of mil's and I got no other helper other than CL. I was in a 'system hang' mode - the only tots on my mind are to take care of bb myself and protect her from harm until hb got home. think I got a bit of depression too. kept crying cos I felt no one understood my plight. mil only pop by alterate days cos she taking care of my niece. my mum is working. no choice. take it as a learning experience lor. wat to do.
AG:
how abt give bb more frequent but smaller meals? and avoid too lumpy food for now until tummy is ready n can digest this type of food?

hi amy, when did u notice that he vomit after food? Is it when u started more solids n less pureed texture? Did his drop in milk intake coincides with the onset of his vomitting? And how soon after he ate that he vomit? Vomit can be caused by indigestion, overeating, gastro reflux or stomach flu. Hv to rule out stomach flu first.
