solids - hm i was jus wondering. if we start with fruits, wil it sweeten our babies tooth... then when we wan to give cereal, they might reject it... becos technically speaking, fruit purees are definitely sweeter than brwn rice cereal with milk... im jus worried that she may reject the cereal in future... how ah..
 
missy
i thought so too le.. so still thinking of letting him start with cereal or purees le.. bb very smart lor.. they sure will be selective one lor..
 
HAha.. I dont think mine will ever excel urs. He always blur blur look at me. His hidden talent will be who can stare without blinking the longest. LOL!

I teach in primary school and I teach both gifted and normal stream children. TT y i know a bit abt gifted children.

MOE is the biggest employer in Singapore lehz. N we are still very short of teachers!

About solids, Im very lost.. Shld ask 2nd time mums..
 
jo
wahahahahaha.. u so cute le.. saying eddric till like tat.. he might be observing u for a longer time ma.. so i think his concentration is good lor..
 
Ya.. I think he is very ZEN. Looks like his dad, even character also like his dad. Nothing like me except waking up at night to "party". Haha
 
Keenan lurves his cereals! Hehee had his 1st solid today (4 mths 9 days) and totally slurped it up, no extrusion reflux :p

Next week, i'll intro home made pumpkin puree
happy.gif
 
pink sorbet/ pink piglet...
don worry too much abt milk rejection/refusal to drink milk...unless bb not well, he is more mobile n distracted in e morn...

although we go by 3hr/4hr interval for feeding, sometimes i believe there is an element of dd/ss going on w our bb...

my boi's hands n legs really fidgety when drinking milk...sometimes he even rolls out his tongue to tell us,"Hey mom, i don wan to drink!" Add tat w a grin on his face n i will look really exasperated...
To prevent him frm fighting w me...so sian while drinking milk...i tried putting my laptop in front of him n play some nursery rhymes or short cartoon clips...

Darns...seems like they r e one who shld b worried over no food...we momz hav to 'plead' w them to eat...

wow starflower...a very adventurous mom...share w us ur boi's response in ur pumpkin puree...! Cheers!

JoJo...my boi oso inherits a lot frm his dad...facial features/ hair thickness/ mannerisms/ gas in e stomach etc...i onli e receptacle to hold him for 9+ mths...so sad rite...
happy.gif
His character...impatient jus like his Dad but not sure abt e screaming part eh...i wonder wat does he take after me...hopefully my desire for structure n orgn will be something he inherits...heee!
 
jo - ooo. pls share what i shld look out for if u can. lol. eh maybe eddric looks zen but he is absorbing it all leh. wait when he speaks it wun be one word but 1 sentence leh. lol!

p3pp3r - yalo. bbies nwadays so smart. not like us last time. gong kias. lol

starflower - yeh for keenan! hee hee big boi liao =P
 
Pink Piglet - No problem! ya i guess we are all in the same boat...now that i'm back to work, my mil is taking care of my boy...and its realli tough...probably its just a passing phase like some mummies were saying here...don't worry!

Princess - i do hope its a passing phase ba, i wonder how much longer can we take it if he continues like this...so scared he's not drinking well...he's on a hunger strike, refuse to drink means refuse to drink....how to force him oso no use...sighz

tusky - i'm always fighting a war with my son when feeding him milk...sometimes i wonder why is it so hard to make them to drink...i guess this is the in-generation babies? lol...
 
Hi Mummies,

Thanks for ur advice. Really felt better after hearing from you guys.

Guess it really part of their development phase ba...
 
Pink piglet, dont worry, just a passing phase, think she'll get over in a few days, babis get distracted when drinking when they are "more aware" :p actually, my boy is 4mths 2 weeks coming and he's only drinking 140-10ml per 4hourly and weighing 6.8kg
happy.gif
So even if bb drops to 100ml intake, no worries, coz when she's hungry she'll definitely cry for more milk
happy.gif


but if she absolutely refuses, check her gums to make sure no white coating - happens if we never clean their mouths and all the milk remains.
- or maybe gum discomfort, check for white natals or pre-teething little bumps -> then perhaps change to a softer teat eg NUK latex or Bfree teats
 
sorry mommies, MIA for too long. WORK is piling way up to my neck!

missycandy:: i'm so sorry, didn't manage to go to bb signs! Sigh. Will try to see how i can get the cup from you okay? Or see when you are gg to Tiongbahru then i try arrange to get from you.Haha ar bo, wkend see u go where shopping, i go meet you. Oh, hehe K must teach T how to speak lah! haha T only knows how to ah boo ah boo ah boo ah boo with all the bubbles of saliva dripping here and there!! Yes i do agree with jo that you could monitor her and see that if she is truly exceptional, can develop her earlier!!

starflower:: thanks babe for organising but I couldn't go. I must have missed out a lot. sob sob. hubby is fine now but my #1 is running a temperature. Still a little warm today but doc says not H1N1 so phew! Trishelle is residing at mom place. haha!!

I have started work for 3 weeks. At first was ok...but the more I work, the more disinterested I am. Is it because now that I am a mum? Don't feel the adrenaline anymore. Or is it time to move on?

happy.gif


missycandy, ya now she can hold her bottle while feeding her. I gave her the training bottle liao. hehe.

pinksobet, think it is not oral thrush. Cos she has tiny white teeth coming out from gum.
Quickily ask mum to see, and she confirmed she is teething.
 
starflower,

Hi Thanks...
happy.gif


But no leh she has been like tis since a mth ago.. ,maybe she prefer to play then drinking milk lo. sign...quite unlikely its due to gums prob as she happily smiling away when she stops.. OMG..
 
p3pp3r,

Ya, its a recent thing.. Kept waking up to be comforted..

missycandy,
Wah, if it happens, Ill go check my ears first. haha.. Anyway, on yr question on gifted bb..
If after 6 months, you find Kirsten is still faster in her development (social, motor, intellect) than her peers, you can also look out for 1) she seems to understand adult humour. 2) You read to her, "sheep" and she can point the animal QUICKLY. 3) She can do detailed motor skills like hold a pencil or transfer nuts neatly into a cup. Anyway, got a lot of things that u can look out for.. Try googling for gifted babies

Another thing is she may not be gifted but just very talented in an area. In her case, it could be language. Then you should put up fridge magnets of letters or read to her a lot, like 3 books a day to develop her talent.
 
tusky - yes my boy is turning 4mths this fri...how time flies...i have already bought some solids hopefully i can intro them successfully by then...don't feel unattrative...mummies are the most beautiful! agree? =D

seabreeze - oh dear hope u r feeling better now...i guess u can take some tea to relieve the oilness feeling...thats wat i do =) take care
 
Hi Yunnz,

I tink u dont accept PM. perhaps u wont like to PM me instead..I cant access my gmail at work so i can only reply u tonight.
 
prosper - i did ask like everyone else to see...and they can't see it! seems like i'm the onli one...sigh...

onli after yesterday's attempt i tink my hubby said he did see something...well...

probably its teething...i gotta check with the PD this sat when i bring him for jab
 
Hey Srumpee..

Same for me, I just started work last week..and feeling half dead at work. everyday i hope the time could fly fast..

But i felt that way even b4 i delivered, tink its time to move on liao.
sad.gif
kinda sian, now mkt not good ma.
 
pinksorbet, ya bring him to see PD better, should be teething too.

misscandy,
Tat time u baby K teething rite? What did ur PD say? or anything we should do to them?

Mummies, if we intro solids to baby, how many times a day? If feed baby solid, then is it next feed, milk should be lesser?
Cos i am thinking baby drinking FM, got a lot of things to feed. Got to feed water lah, solids lah, FM lah... then baby will be very full rite?
 
srumpee,
Think is natural to feel sian after returning to work. I am totally no morale too. Totally no progress, mind only surfing net, forum etc. It's bad lah i know.
Slowly adjust urself, and you will be more productive.
 
seabreeze,

Hahaha.. I buay tahan u leh! So funny with yr kate spade.

Tuskywoolie,
Oh, u took NPL ah.. I know hw u feel. Im gg bk school end of july. Really very fast. So many projects waiting for me liao. U know my pupils v sweet.. They did a cushion for my boy and ask the office to send to me. Haha.. Very touched
 
<font color="aa00aa">Hi mommies, I am looking to sell my baby's neck float - this is similar to the one at http://www.sgmambo.com/round_float.html, but orange in color.
Here is a photo of baby Kieran using it. This is almost brand new, used a handful of times only - he has since upgraded to a normal baby tube. This is suitable from about 3 months up to 1+ years or older.

missy,

i had recovered liao .. though still have a little bit cough(throat ichy).. Great that baby M is not getting the virus from me this time .. *touch wood*

Solid, seriously i have not buy any bowl/spoon for Moiiesha leh ... lazy mum(time really flies, can't imagine she is already 4mths old &amp; ready for solids) .. going to buy today/tmr la. I only need a bowl &amp; a spoon right ?
Anyway, i'm ok if u wan to start the puree this sat. next sat i'll be going to KL leh. Think u open &amp; pass me the rest ba, i dun have the container/cube leh. Nvr buy coz i think i wun be so hardworking to do the puree myself. Even if i do also, i'll feed baby the fresh one &amp; i will eat the rest .. haa

HT, when are you ordering this ? i haven't pay u leh. Let me know how much ok ? I'll collect this together with my wetbags &amp; doidy
 
Jo ...

Cant stand me ar ... wait till i get the bag hahahahaha

just spend like $150 at the staff roadshow ... brands chicken essence came ... bought over $150 worth of stuff - vitamins for my #1 and essence for myself ... anyway now i got member le

next time got good member offer then i keep you all posted heehee
 
sinmey ...

nope Brands ... my mum got the yu yan san member though but i find the chicken essence from yys v diluted and no kick

in fact i just drank a bottle of the brands now hahahah cos so tired and havent started doing any proper work yet =p
 
mangogal,

Wah... Mdm Rokiah remembered me? Anyway, the hot stone plus antibiotic worked. I was so worried for my gal, actually still very worried now. Cos while i had my mastisis, my ss drop by half. She refused Formula milk and rather starve. Can tell cos she actually tookthe bottle in happily and spit it out as soon as a drop of milk land on her tongue. Not sure if the theory that if bb dont get enough milk, she would accept FM finally. Cos until now my bb cant produce a full wet diaper a day... the lack of pee is worrying me.. haiz.. i only latch her on 1 breast cos the infected breast had pus in the milk. Only got cleared this morning.. was so happy that i can finally latch my bb on both breasts. Wonder how soon would she give me full diapers again.. very worried about her.
 
Re: teething

I gave this to my #1 and it helped to relieve his teething pain. Cos during his teething process, when he wakes up and cry (hug &amp; milk no use) ... i just pop 1 or 2 tablet in and immed he stopped &amp; sleep v well

I usually use this when he zzz so that he is not 'addicted' to it heehee
