(2009/03) March 2009 MTBs


yah lor. i ended up buying the 2nd hand eng one becos it takes too much effort to make more than 1 thousand cards. but i bought cheapo malaysia made ones, "inspired" by gd format, for maths n chinese. much lesser cards than GD but good enough for me. About $20+ per box only

can't rem the the url of the lady selling it in singers. hmmm ... i go search
 
So far these are the BP/Spree organisers who responded:

- World of Korea
- Mummylicious (sells wetbags)
- forgot the name but sells organic cookies
 
alfafa,
Of course, in business sense, we cld understand why they didn't allow us to do so. Beside, we were just trying our luck. It was just that the mgr didn't reject us graciously and was rather hostile in doing it.
 
vivien
haha i juz emailed the seller c if they can offer better price + delivery separately if i can collate 10 n above playmats..

alfafa
oh i tot u haven order. alamak. 50 is a big difference lor. can u imagine how much they are earning. good to do BP for playmats but such BP definitely muz have delivery for it. coz it is seriously not light..

pumpkin:
cradle cap - my boy alot, initially juz the front, now spread to many areas. Initially his eyebrow also got, but after apply baby oil, its gone. Now after apply BB oil on his head, after a while, comb with BB comb, wah can see alot of dry skin dropping off.

Missycandy:
jap carrier. Hey, think I miss out on the discussion earlier. Can u briefly tell me how much isit and where to purchase? Easy to use and can take the BB in &amp; out alone by ourselves? Can take BB wt to how big? Thanks alot!

miss24, Ivy, May:
If I recall, u ladies had c-sec under Dr Adrian. Did u all ask him can start exercising liao or when?

lipstar:
Ha, your MS also very gd
happy.gif
U also using Medela PIS rite? How long u pump each session since MS so gd? Can still keep to 15min?

Stretchmarks:
Ladies, beware! I was quite happy that I didn't have any stretch marks during pregnancy, probably becos I applied olive oil diligently daily after bath since 2.5mths. Even up till a few days ago, I was still thinking thats the best thing that I didnt have. But then suddenly overnite, I noticed light red stretch marks at my lower adominal. I say suddenly becos every day I apply a cream by my gynae on my c-sec wound and notice ever see them. Damn.... now I quickly apply my olive oil. Hope it will go away.
 
alfafa,
hmm, actually i prefer those with pics cos i find more realistics.. hahahha

those dotted like flash flash, nothing 1 lei. keke..

at lesat pic, i can say out the item. haha..

anyw the infants ones is the 19 bucks rght?
 
teddybaby, same here, no stretch marks til 1 week after delivery. Doc says it because lost weight too fast, skin doesn't have time to cope with sudden weight loss, et voila, stretch marks!
 
pumpkin,
Ya, understand the part abt losing wt too fast will also cause stretch marks, but mine is almost 2 mths after birth leh...sighzz
 
teddy,
too late. I already kenna already. Aiiiiii I also counted my blessing too early.

Pumpkin,
great! her stuff is cheap and useful.

Hoho,
for infants, there is a reason why the cards come without pictures. If you read GD they would explain in more details .. basically it's about keeping it simple with as little clutter as possible. With the pics, it actually becomes more confusing for small babies. Also the quality of the pic is important even for bigger children ... realistic pics are always tons better than cartoon ones. But for infants, better to stick to those without.

As for the math dots cards. Yah lor! I also thought it was rubbish. But my hubby kept asking me to get it so I went to read themaths section of Glenn doman. After reading the explanation then I realised why. Made perfect sense. Funnily, both my daughter and my friend's daughter are most responsive to the math dot cards.

BTW ...
think copyright issues at risk here but ahhh

I have one of GD's books - How Smart IS Your Baby in electronic format. :p It basically explains the whole concept behind GD and it even gives a good (good enough to start) overview of each of his Eng and Maths kits. Very very very interesting. It was after reading his case that I became convinced that infant flashcard sessions are actually fun and more likely than not, enjoyed by our infants.

big file hor. Divided into 4 parts
 
alfafa,
u heard of Dr Titzer " Your baby can read" VCD? Supposedly from 3mths onwards, let BB watch, they will be able to read very quickly! I KS,bot them when I was pregnant, shld be using soon
 
Kome,
u r not alone.
My dept also moved back to US. And i'll be losing my job by End of July.
I told my manager that I wouldn't be sending my bb to Nanny since i'll be losing job in July. So, i requested to work from home till my job gone. At least i can save few months' nanny fee.
But i also heard that they might move a new dept to S'pore branch and I'll be in their hiring list. Hope i'll get selected and have my job back .. *Pray*
 
teddy,
not familiar with that. Haven't planned on letting her watch TV yet even though I also have a set of bb einstein dvds. heeeee somemore mine is given to me by my bro - has eng, mandarin and ... surprise surprise, korean. Maybe next time she can translate korean dramas to me. LOLs

sinmey,
oh shucks. Are you in the finance line by any chance? I know several people who are in similar situations. Hope you get selected too. If not ... touchwood... but if it really comes to that, guess at least with a bb around it is much more meaningful to take a break now.
 
re: flashcards

What is the recommended time frame to play flashcards for bb? My fren says no more than 5 min and the speed to show the flashcards got to be very fast..
 
jo,

your friend is right. I flash them at 1 sec per card. NOT for the visual stimulation cards hor. Those are different. They are meant to help bb's eyes focus so as to help mature their visual pathways quicker. VS cards can take up to 10secs per card. It depends on whether your baby gets bored if you flash too slowly.
 
Oh.. i find it so difficult to flash at such a HIGH speed. My cards can "fly out" when I try to do that.. haha.. den my bb look at me with a shocked face. As if Im showing him card tricks instead
 
1 sec not that fast lah. Btw, for some reasons they recommend flashing frmo back to front. Not sure why.

hehe quite funny. Can imagine your baby's shocked face .. the deer in the headlights look. Mine does that occasionally too
 
Hi Alfafa
went to the link u posted. The BP seems to close already, I just sent the seller an email, hope she has existing stock to sell

which set of cards did u buy? I thot of getting the infant stimulation black and white cards since baby is less than 6mths
 
hey mummies

just wanna ask those mummies who bought nursing tube bra...do u still have to wear disposable pads inside or the padding of the bra itself already acts as a disposable pad? sorrie i ask cos i jus received my MIM tube bras today...

sorrie this may sound as a silly qn... =P
 
mummies,
when u flash the cards, bb is lying down? or ??

Scrumpee,
can let me know if she has ready stock, i oso wan the infant set.

Re: Flash cards

I tried on my boy yesterday but he seemed disinterested and looked somewhere else...he didn't even bother to look at the cards somehow...wonder whether he is still too young for the cards or that i fail to capture his attention?
 
pinksorbet,

you need to catch the "right moment". It's ok if they r not interested coz' bb have short attention span. Try again later or when he is in a good mood.
 
Jo, thanks...i was wondering whether i did it wrongly...we have to flash the cards fast? oops, actually i was jus lifting up this card right in front of my boy's eyes and lifted it still so my boy can focus on the colors...he looked a while then looked elsewhere...sometimes lagi better, don't even bother to look...

now i've a feeling i may have did it wrongly...cos as what the name states, flash cards have to be flashed past...fast? hehe...
 
Hi everyone,
Me finally back to work after 3 months of maternity leave.
Today is my birthday but I got no mood dont know why. Hubby will only bring me for meal on sat as too rush for us to go home late.

Misscandy,
WTS: If you can't post for WTS after register on motherhood, just need to read to the moderator, saying that you already pass the 1yr period and cant post in WTS. They will activate for you your account in order to sell.

Vernice I have PM you regarding the milk bags.
 
hoho
sure, let u know if she replies my email. If she doesn't sell, I may get the artcards set (at $24.90) from Life Baby, also black and white cards with pix
 
Re: FP sale

Just came back from the FP sale. Went with hubby during his lunch break. The FP sale is quite small, not really a lot of toys. They are selling the rainforest jumperoo at $200 and some other playgym. I bought a couple of toys for marissa, including the jamming piano and my pretty purse. Was tempted to get the waterproof digital camera at $80 but marissa too young to play with it.
 
Sleep Workshop

Reply from World of Korea

pumpkinseed,
We will participate in this and will also work out something special for your group. Email you the details of the selected designs and prices by this evening, ok?

As we have quite a lot of designs (all ready stocks), will not be able to bring everything on that day. Will bring some along and on top of that, I will bring one playmat (for display) along so that parents can see the actual thing on the day and let their babies play on it. Hope there is space for the playmat. :)

Thanks for your support. :)
 
alfafa,
nola, i'm in Procurement in electronics thingy .. but i think u mummies are so much better than me in sourcing the cheap &amp; good stuffs

Always like her line: People 1st, then $$, then thing
Keep to this &amp; u can avoid a lot of unnecessary fight with ur loves one.

mummies,

i just went to Mums in mind to check things out. tried the tube bra.. too small for me.. i big frame, The M/L size still too small.

teddybaby

I went to see him 5 weeks after my delivery (c-sect) coz wound pain. Dr Adrian say it's due to muscle ache ard the wound. Think I carry BB too much and didnt get out of bed properly. He told me not to go massage or do any exercise. I told him where got time and he laughed! Went back last week for my pap smear. He says my c-sect wound ok, just dun do any strenous exercise. I told him again, WHERE GOT TIME! HE say yah, look after baby very busy one hor?! *roll eyes* Next appt will be 6mths later.

Yah, can sms him like what Ivy say. He will reply one.
