Hi Jo's mummy,
I think the polyclinic nurses arrange the jabs so that my boi will still take his last pneumococcal jab in May (14months), MMR in June (15mths) and then the Chicken pox jab can be given anytime from age 1 onwards so i guess it doesn't matter when to give.
according to the nurses, pneumococcal jab can only be given at 2 months intervals. Total 3 jabs.
dun worry abt the MMR myth, personally i don't believe it. If there is any truth in it, don't think the Spore govt will give it to the kids here.

Re : MMR vs autism
dun think it's true... Anyway if I'm giving my boy MMRV, will be 2 doses. Should reduce the impact if there's any rt?!

Hihi!
Been really busy at work and my girl sleeps really late at nite nowadays. We experimented a few reasons why she sleep late and concluded that it is cos our home is a "new" playground when we bring her home at nite.. so she needs time to explore the "playground". If we fetch her before 8, she sleeps at 10+. If we fetch her ard 9, she sleeps at 11+. Yesterday nite, she have not slept at 12+, me dying to sleep liao lor.. so jia lat.. sign... really wish we could fetch her back earlier. Weekends not a problem if we come back late, cos she had explored her playground sufficiently for the day, so can go sleep liao...
Re: Fishy Smell
There was a recipe i looked at a while ago. Poach the fish in a pan of fresh milk. The recipe was for salmon, i tried and really no fishy smell from the salmon. Not sure if this works for other type of fish

All mummies trying for no.2 or no.3 Jia you!
Jo's mummy, still not confirm whether going to the crawling contest or not. Will check with hubby again. But I am sure it will be fun.
Just to check, most of the Mar babies can pick up food and eat it themselves? My boy doesn't leh, I tried to make him do it, he will pick up and throw away, never put into his mouth. Don't know if he is lazy or slow in this development. And he doesn't know how to speak yet, just blabber, doesn't point at things too. Other than these, the rest of the development are fine. He can crawl damn fast, and walk more than 15 steps each time.

Scrumpee,
bb Jo can pick up the food and eat, sometimes he will push the food out with his tongue and play with the food..he can also tear the bread n put it into his mouth..for ur case i think he is lazy lar..and he is not glutton so will not put the food into his mouth..
bb Jo also not speaking yet..only yelling at ppl, scream, ee aa, mum mum, ah ma..so its the same as ur boy...furthermore, my boy havnt started walking yet..he like phobia to the floor..once we put him in standing position, he will start crying to tell us he don wan to walk, then will sit down and crawl to other place..no matter how we tried, give him his biscuits, juice, our food, he wont walk..he walk for 1-2 steps he will sit down..headache..

Looking forward to this Sat! Can't hang around after the play session though.
Mad week at work, madder next week because DH will be away all week and my mum is not feeling well so this one woman show will be running at full capacity. Yikes!

my boy is a glutton leh..u know how heavy is he? last weigh was 11.7kg leh. He wants us to feed him but doesn't seem to know that he can actually pick up the food and eat it by himself. He eats and drink fast. Can finish a bowl of porridge in 10mins and milk in a min.
my boy is also like yours when he first started walking, maybe you try holding his hands?

Are we supposed to bring our babies for <font color="0000ff">hearing test</font> at 9mth old? If so, done at Polyclinic is it?
I felt my PDs quite lax on development assessment; anyhow tick on the healthbook; didn't even ask me those questions in the book before tick pass. Haiz... anybody know can we redo development assessment at Polyclinic? How much $?

Diphtheria was made compulsory in 1977. Measles vaccination was introduced from Oct 1976 and made compulsory in August 1985 for children ages 1-2years.
Only diphtheria and measles immunisations are compulsory by law.
I used to have a PD telling us "...it is not compulsory... parents are educated enough to read up and decide yourself...". So pissed off when we heard that.
Asked 2 PD before about MMR - Autism, but I guess all Dr will said no relation. I'm considering Measles vaccine only or 3 individual vaccine instead of 1 MMR. My worry is no MMR, dunno can get the "Certificate of Vaccination" for Primary 1 enrolment? Hmm...
Vaccines, like any medicine, may have some side effects or allergy reaction. A decision not to immunise a child also involves risk.

Hi idlecat,
When i brought my son for his first jab, they did the development and hearing test for free.
Didn't charge me anything. My PD also doesn't do any of these for us even though we didn't opt for the hearing test after birth.
That's why i think polyclinic is better.

my boy's 15 steps are small steps lah. He used to sit on walkers, not sure if that helps with his walking. But he's like your kids about 3 weeks ago, walk few steps will give up and choose to crawl instead.
Jo's mummy
my boy hates people to hold his hands. We tried holding his hand to pick food, he resisted. He also hated it when we hold his hands to teach him how to clap, or gesture gong xi gong si, he will swing his hands behind him and refuse to let us touch his hands. That's why till now, he is still not clapping his hands

Hearing test
I did the hearing test when he was born at TMC, both his ears failed. Can imagine how scared I am. The nurse then asked me to bring him back for a 2nd test one month later. Luckily he passed on his 2nd test.

idlecat,
re hearing test, I think you can request your PD to perform hearing test on your girl at next check up? I remembered when Vera was abt 3 mths old, we noticed she didn't seem to response to the sounds we made so we a bit worried. We told our PD and requested her to do a check on Vera's hearing and she did. So a lot of time we as parents have to remind our PD to check loh.
Re MMR - Austism
We asked my PD, she also said these 2 have no relation.

Hi Sharlin, lizy
mine did hearing test at hospital after birth. And PD also test her hearing before. I'm just wondering whether need to do again as somewhere in the healthbook show hearing test at 9mth?
Hi scrumpee,
my gal also doesn't like us to hold her hand. Patience... I managed to teach her self-feeding. Start with baby biscuits. Sometimes have to demo to baby how to pick food and put inside the mouth. The first few times have to by force hold her hand to bring the food to her mouth. Once she understand it's food, she will start to learn using hands. For clapping, she also doesn't let us hold her hands and clap. We try to demo clapping whenever we praise her. Nowaday she will clap when she is happy.
lizy, u got yr photo?

Hi miss83,
I bought baby birthday cake at Prima Deli. They also sell cupcakes.
I also read from cookbook not to cook meat together for porridge. So, I follow my mum's method, use a small rice cooker to cook plain porridge, using the steam tray that come with the cooker to steam a plate of threadfin while cooking the porridge. After steaming, the plate will contain juicy water which later I'll mash the fish and add both into the porridge. Tasty... Cooking takes ~25min and then will set cooker to keep warm function for consumption (for lunch & dinner) later.
BTW mummies, when do you plan to introduce steam rice? How? will tots know how to chew without molar teeth?

I ordered my boy's birthday cake from Pine garden, agar agar cake and cookies from Aunty Yochana. You should check out Aunty Yochana's website, her cakes makes me drool and so pretty. She also do very pretty cupcakes. I think many mummies here patronise her. Just email your enquiry to her, she replies very fast.

Hi scumpee
we face the same prob. My boy also like yrs. He refused to put food into his mouth using his own hands. He loves to eat and will only pull our hands towards him if we are holding the food. When he has food in his hand, he will throw away, carrrying a 'yucks' look on his face. Have been teaching and showing him since a few mths back. Haiz. We now call him 'tai zi' - prince.
