Queenie,

It's tough with grandparents around cos they heartpain, but you are the mummy and u get the final say so long as daddy is in agreement lah. When tristan can finally sleep on his own and self soothe, they will surely come round, so don't worry

Jiayou! Hope the training won't last too long!!

missycandy
cool......

anybody wants to meet up for a lunch @ tampines (swensens) 1 for 1??
 
hehe.. yes yes!! thks!! wat a long way.. 40 weeks old!! hahahha.. sound familiar? full term pregnancy.. lol
 
Queenie,
you are going Korea? Free and easy?Btw, I brought cereal and those veg puree for her during my cameron trip. Mine was only a 3 day trip, hence should be fine for Cadence. Infact, my SIL cook porridge for her son when she went to Taiwan. I lazy mummy so fed her with cereal.

Meet for lunch?? When? Let me know k.

Jo's mummy and vernice,
I am planning to go Japan (either Hokkaido or other parts) to see cherry blossom. Otherwise will be tougher as I plan for a second bb either this or next yr. Was thinking of doing free and easy if bring bb. Well,I mentioned to my MIL but she din say want to help take care of bb so I guess I hv to discuss with my mum if I want to leave bb in Spore. See how ba..
 
fatfish, same same, I plan to go Japan and after tat get preggie for #2! my colleagues n frens all teased me say "made in Japan"...haha..i don think bring bb is a good choice lor..cos need to bring so many of their stuffs especially FM as i think the food there not really suitable for bb althou they oredi 1yrs old..as their sushi or rice they mix with rice vinegar which i think not good for bb.somemore the weather is still very cooling during april.i think i gotta get scolded by many mums bcos of not wanted to bring along bb for holiday..
 
jo's mummy,

wouldnt scold u lah...i also dont want to bring bb for holiday but cos my MIL is the only one taking care of bb for us. I dont feel right to leave bb in SG for her to take care 24/7 even though i think she wouldnt mind. Anyway, end up with no holiday plans except for sentosa this mar.. lol
 
Asura, hmm sometimes really feel bad to leave bb at home for MIL to take care..so if going to Jpn it would b like at least 6-7days, just worry tat she cant handle it alone as she also old liao..but going to japan is my dream for many yrs already...die die must go..
 
re:solid

My little girl has refused to eat solid since last week. Im out of idea on what to feed her. As soon as she sees the spoon coming to her mouth she refuse to open her mouth at all.
We try to use chopstick to feed her..it work yesterday..but today for lunch i try..she didnt want.

She rather take the baby bites biscuits and some gerber puffs.

Is this just a phase or she is teething or she just doesnt want to be spoonfeed?

Im quite stress la. She used to be able to take 7-8 tbsp of porridge for lunch and the same amount for dinner.

sad.gif
 
sunshinebaby,

am planning for no.2 this yr..so if postponed gotta be 3yrs later..by tat time would not be affordable..
 
victoria,

What I did is to give her some water and puffs in between mouthfuls of porridge. If that doesn't work, then I will pretend to want to feed her puffs/water and when she opens her mouth I will quickly pop in a spoonful of porridge. Yes, it's deception, but no choice. But after a few times, bb will wise up to my tricks. Then it's back to feeding her actual water/puffs again.

M really likes tart stuff such as green apples, so if her lunch feed didnt go well, we will try to add some apple to her dinner feed so she can have a bigger dinner.

Her appetite was down for the past 3 meals, can't finsh her food. Then 2 days later, 2 little teeth popped out! Now she is back to normal, thank God! Oh, and she has some little rash on her torso, don't know whether it's related to her teething?

Hope this helps!
 
hmmm victoria's bb is A... Pei is M.. hee

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.

This may or may not apply to you. If you doesn't, please forward this to people you know so it can reach other first-time parents who may want to participate. Thanks for your help!

Do you meet the following criteria? Do you know someone who does?

* Have you had your first (and only) child in the past six months to two years?
* Do you live with the co-parent?
* Is it the first child for both partners?
* Do you want to share information that could help other couples transition into parenthood?

If you answered YES to these questions, and are 18 years of age or older, you are eligible to participate in this parenting research study. This survey is being conducted through an online questionnaire and is estimated to only take 5-10 minutes to complete.

To start the survey, please click the link below or copy and paste it into your Internet browser.

Hi Victoria, i've been a silent reader of this thread. Just wanted to say that my 9.5 month-old boy is just like your little girl! He used to be ok with eating porridge/cereal but has recently been refusing to open his mouth once the spoon is near him. I tried giving him his favourite apple puree to get him interested in eating and he took it. But when i mixed it with his porridge, he took a spoonful of it and refused to open his mouth again thereafter. But he happily eats the baby biscuits/gerber puffs/baby rice crackers when i give them to him. Only thing is, he again refuses to open his mouth if i bring them to his mouth. He would only eat them if he takes them from the bowl or from my hand.

I'm wondering if he's trying to learn to feed himself. So i'm going to try giving him finger food which he can hold on his own and maybe give him a fork with more solid food in it so that he can self feed. Hope these methods work!
 
Ade Heng
actually my neighbour made some baby pancakes yesterday..and gave two pieces to my girl. she took a bit. she wants to eat it by herself

I just google and check out finger food recipe..i found some from wholesomebaby. so im going to try tomorrow.

oh ya and i also read from the website (wholesomebaby) that at this age they might refuse to be spoonfed and wants to be independent already.

So for her, it could be a couple of things happening..im not sure which. either teething or want to be independent..

thanks for your tips. jia yu for our finger food.
 
Long time never come to post.
Hope everyone's doing well post X'mas and NY. Hear many babies here are developing fast. Shayna's still not able to stand unassisted so still a few small bumps and falls when she tries. But she remains cheerful and always curious of people and surroundings.

Our bbs' b'days are coming up sooo soon! Some like gingal has already celebrated! Unbelievable how fast it's been since everything started. I've got to get cracking, so far only thought of the cake. :p

missycandy

Are babies invited? Can we come join? I think both dates are ok. Let me know. Cheers

Ade Heng/ Victoria
I'm having a similar issue with bb refusing porridge. She will turn her head left and right and cry. I just thought it's because she preferred sweet things like fruit puree to porridge. But after much resistance, I will make her eat and finish everytime!!! Haha so determined mummy, never say quit. Similar to what Pei does, sometimes, I drop 1 or 2 pigeon puffs in the porridge to entice her to eat. But last few meals I just quickly shove the spoonful to her mouth and she will give in eventually.
 
Sharlene,

Best to measure bb temperature if u wanna give medication for fever, and then give if above 38 degrees. Paracetamol tends to be first choice for most ppl, but I personally prefer to give nurofen.

However if u think bb is in a lot of discomfort or pain then give it anyway for pain relief
.

Prosper,

Hope your little one gets better soon. If teething then fever can be assumed to be due to that if there are no other signs of infection. See how it goes ya?

Hi babe,
My boy is really stubborn, he simply refuses to open his mouth. I've tried shoving the spoon into his mouth when he's drinking water or eating his biscuits, but he's too quick for me and shuts his mouth immediately when he sees the spoon coming. Haha.

Hi Queenie,
Thanks!

missy,

yes count me in. ether 18 or 22 is fine by me. coming with gracie.

quick update:

just to share something wonderful ... no lah not pregnant teeeheehehehehe

Yesterday was day 15 of sleep training. And I'm thrilled beyond words cna describe to share that Gracie slept through the night on day 14 and 15, from 9pm to 7.30am, and to 6.10am respectively. Yup, she didn't wake up once to whine. Actually that's not true, she does several times every night as seen on my baby monitor but she has learnt to self soothe and put herself back to sleep. Backtracking a little ... on Day 11 to day 13 she slept 8hours thereabouts before her first waking. So I can see a clear progression towards sleeping through the night. Hurray! Now I just hope that this is going to last.

For those not in the know, read here for my public blog entry
http://www.facebook.com/hazel.oh?v=app_8826748878&ref=profile

p/s I know that quite a few mommies are attempting to sleep train after reading about my experience. One advice that I forgot to add (reminded by Starflower) is NOT to sleep train if baby's tooth is cutting through or when baby is sick.

Queenie, JIA YOU!


pp/s I'm missing in action these days due to sheer exhaustion. Am tired as a dead dog .. in fact dead-er than dead. Heeeeeeee I ask for it really. Now that baby is sleeping through I am going on an overdrive designing new fabric "toy". Got so engrossed on my latest, and most complex (but oh man I'm dying to see the finished product) project that I have been sleeping at 5am almost everynight. Buay tahan. heeeee

I'm making a pretend play doll house. :)
