[lfb]

Kate,
I also got the 2100mmx1400mmx18mm size. Was discussing with hubby and decided just get the thicker one, though we also thought that nothing different with the 15mm one though.

 

[katelee]

LFB I was actually intending to get the 15mm one but out of stock for the design I wanted. So bor bian got the18mm one instead. I paid $288 inclusive of delivery. How about u?

 

[doglefox]

Hi any of you planning to sign up baby for those learn and play classes?Heard it's good to start early to stimulate their motor skills and social development.. Considering to bring my girl to gymboree..haiz but not cheap leh..

 

[lfb]

Kate, same price, but now Christmas promotion, free 1 pooh picnic mat. So ok lah. It's actually friend's recommendation to take LG Asobang, cos they said LG better than Parklon. So I take lor.

 

[jamie_nov]

doglefox: hwmuch is gymboree? i'm interested in these classes too as i want my girl to b able to socialise and get used to ppl being ard her and actually interacting. =)

 

[doglefox]

jamie: the class im interested in is Play N Learn $399 for 12 sessions of 45mins each.nt sure if incld gst or nt..but heard from a frd is nt bad

 

[createjoy]

wow lau blue dream the mop idea is funny siah! i cant imagine my son mopping the floor! seems dirty leh hahaha wear for fun ok lah but if the hse really dirty he mop around then he lick the mop area sooo gross hahaha

jling holiday ah so shiok everyone went holiday *red eye* here... california cream will help or not? can try it wrote for nappy rash too.. hw cm he will constipate he on BM right.. did u tk v heaty food, r u also constipated dont mind i ask... wat veg u give? i once read fibre is good to pass motion BUT u must have enough fluid as well i forgot exactly & hw to explain.. something like fibre need water to bind to form soft bulk. adding too much of a fibre in the diet too quick n bb haven adapt then fibre combine to be a big bulk causin constipation, diarrhea and bloating, gas etc.. could be he need time to get used to it or is he on FM as well? if on both FM n BM must drk water also n certain brand more heaty.. u might also wanna csider switch brand to try..

website research suggest infant on diarrhea to tk yoghut leh beco of lives culture mayb can try abit ?

 

[createjoy]

wow biang my pump alot pattern. last mth spoil adaptor now the funnel 1 crack big hole.. shit!!! am still contemplating when to stop then this spoil that spoil mk me waste $ already so broke. need to come up w/ $1900 for jayden infantcare deposit & duno 1 or 2 mth fee.. then hb tooth v pain dental do a bridge lah need to go thru a package instalment $1500! here i trying to save every cents then there extra cost here extra cost.. really is the chinese saying what hse roof got hole always got rain

 

[jamie_nov]

Doglefox: wah very ex!! How much is first trial?

Createjoy: u were talkin abt fiber needs water to bind, so when we gif a lot of fruit/veg puree, n baby is on bm, does she still nd to tk in extra water?

 

[createjoy]

if just bm no fm i think 10-15ml a day will b good. beside a source of extra fluid also let bb have a habit of drking tasteless water if not later toddler only wan drk w taste how? jayden tk 1-2 FM a day on top of BM so he tk ard 30-40ml water.as well

 

[newmum0109]

hi mummies
do you use playpen for your babies? What's the difference and is playpen only for sleeping? Is playpen stable enough for baby to crawl around? thanks in advance for sharing

 

[createjoy]

newmom i think playpen nap ok but dont slp long hrs, not enough support for back, personally opinion...

so small hw to crawl.. can sit inside n play toy but when crawl stage dont think bb content w that space hahaha

 

[newmum0109]

thanks createjoy
mine still worming so don't know if necessary to give her playpen to start the crawling or just progress from cot to play may/yard will do.

 

[jling]

hi mummies, back from holiday and sickness worsen again..jack knows that we went for holiday so on milk strike and reject all FBM now have so many frozen ones don't know what to do with it, thought of giving it away.

Bluedream
gave apple leh, still nothing so resort to medicine again.

For potty train, i think only when they know how to talk and can walk then train bah.

createjoy
califonia cream ar, maybe i will try again, previosuly use for his rashes but no use. Constipated though on BM leh, i suspect is solids and ya i think i take heaty food also..haha i not constipated leh.. any other cereal to give besides brown rice and normal rice? i give green pea, spinach, sweet potatoe as veg.. not on FM yet

 

[kikismom]

mummies

anyone know where can i get cheerios? I cant seem to find it @ our local supermarket..Thanks

 

[createjoy]

my dear jling, brown rice is heaty... so u stop it for the time being might help. and try give him sm banana puree... wn recvr then maybe 1 week eat 2-3 times brown rice cereal.wauhaha ur boy so clever go stroke to punish u for going holiday w/out him

 

[jling]

createjoy
so just give normal rice cereal only ya? Aiyo on the day of leaving, he knows we are going off so he cry and cry, only want either hubby or me to feed and carry him, no one else. Have to tell him that we are going to work then ok. Sleep also very little, hoping to see us. Once we are back, he also back to normal.

 

[createjoy]

[jling]

annie

[annielim075]

jiling- sure good luck.. tat time i also don know how it shuld be done so the babysitter show me how to support him up holding his thighs 1 thumb out & 4 fingers in

 

[dolly2009]

Hi everyone! Just wondering if your baby is having growth spurt? Mine wake up for feed 2 hourly at night. Wonder if it's too dry or he's really hungry.

 

[annielim075]

dolly- i read in the book tat 6 mth will have groth sput but it be gone in few days & he be back to normal.. they will asking is teething got to do wif their frequent disturb sleep & it stated no... the book stated give them cool boiled water if they wake up

 

[doveyc]

any mummies in the north interested to meet up next week? i think a lot of us are clearing leave... i stay in sembawang...

 

[jling]

dovey
I don't mind, i also stay in sembawang

 

[jling]

dolly
My boy is having milk strike instead...or maybe he prefer to play than drink milk. You can try giving water, if he is really hungry, he will drink very fast?

 

[ahnetsan]

i also stay at sembawang!!

anyone know how to make bb drink water? my boy doesnt seem to want to drink water now... last time when he was 4+mths, i tried letting him drink a bit of water at my mum's plc, and he drank leh...now dunno y he dun wan anymore.

 

[annielim075]

ahnetsan- i was told by babysitter once they started solid they will start choosing the food so at babysitter's hse he get to drink only water & milk but weekends wif me he get to drink fruit juice.

 

[papaya123]

ahnetsan

my bb doesn't like to drink water using her milk bottle since birth. so what we do is feed her using a spoon and a cup. she drinks alot if we use the spoon. perhaps because she can bite the spoon after drinking the water

 

[ahnetsan]

used to feed my bb water wif spoon de. cos he doesnt wan to drink from bottle... but now even wif spoon he doesnt want too... and he also dun wan wif mag mag. haiz... dunno how leh...

 

[annielim075]

ahnetsan- u let him drink glucose 1st then as it is colourless then slowly u mix more plain water in front of him so he knew u mixing sweet drink for him, later stage he will take water without the glucose

 

[dolly2009]

Annie, jling: Thanks! Mine dun even want to suck pacifier when he wakes at night. And refuses water even in day time

ahnetsan: Like your boy, mine also dun drink water, he'll taste it first, if it's juice he'll glup it down, but if it's water he'll wail! My mum helps to spoon feed him water and he'll cry like nobody business. He'll refuse bottle if it's water, milk ok though if I'm not around to offer alternative

 

[annielim075]

dolly- good thing nesher still taking water & i really worry i overfeed him FM as the tin stated 210ml for 4 feeding but he is currently taking 5 feeding in a day...
las nite nesher stir & cried less then 1 min 2 times, i quickly carried him pat him back to sleep again or put pacifier in his mouth

 

[maryg]
