Ah Ching & Cassey,
How about the bumper playmat? Putting one in the playpen may serve as some form of 'cushion' in case they fall flat on their face (or even head). I'm not sure what thickness will be sufficient as I have not got down to buying mine. I remember tinybubu has one for sophie, in the cute crawling youtube clip. Mummies with the playmat, is it good enough to cushion a head-on fall? Tia!

dolly,
the ikea plastic one may not be comfortable for sitting long in it, and i think the gap at the legs are still quite big for baby at this stage so do let him try it out first.

<font color="cc3399"> SuperBee, WHOA!!! Tabloid reporting ah! 
Was pleasantly surprised to bump into you today too. Apologies I was rather aloof at the end cos Kyle has been SO cranky. The staff were coming to talk to him, asking him why he's so upset. I'm surprised anyone actually saw Kyle SMILE at all today. Must have been at the beginning when he was still happy
bbAug~, why is Aug waking so often!? You reckon it's the dreaded 9M growth spurt? I'm glad Kyle's improved from being much worse. Hope you're getting some sort of rest. Hang in there. It's got to pass eventually.
newmum, thanks! I've been thinking about it too but am not sure I want to splurge on one seeing as Kyle is all over the place. I'll only put him in play yard when I'm in the shower or something... He's pretty steady on his feet now so hopefully I won't need to get a mat at all!
Re: Ikea highchair
Sis left niece's one at mum's and when we head out and use those provided, Kyle's pretty happy to stay in it for long when he isn't in a cranky mood.. I don't think the crotch bar is too wide... but if bub is small (or thin?), a little cushion on the back might make it more comfy.

cassey,
agree its really expensive! for a mat! but hey,i guess its worth it for the mileage we can get out of it.
mine's still comfortable in her bumbo so guess we are on the slim side

dolly: how long can your boy stay in the play yard? does your boy stay in the play pen too? My boy cries once I put him in and wont stop until i bring him out.
newmum0109: the play mat can cushion sorta cushion the fall as i remember some mummies mentioned it previously.
the play mat only useful if baby stays at a fixed place. my boy crawls everywhere esp to dangerous places!
He fell when he was at the coffee table. released his hands when he snatched the remote control and fell flat on his face.
bbaug: my boy wakes up 2 hourly too. and must latch before he go back to sleep. i sleep with him so that I can sleep too.
daytime i take him on bus rides and he sleeps once I board the bus. he can try if you really zombied
mummy burnout
I'm heading towards mummy burnout...
my boy has been extremely clingy, whiny, screamy, teary and wants only mummy
even his playful face and smile is not melting my heart now...
brought him to PD today for a check up in case it's health related but PD says he is not ill or teething..
he is not taking his solids either and feeding time becomes a very testing time for me.
I've got a job offer now and is so tempted to put bb in infant care but wonder if it is really good for him esp now.

hi mummies,
been super busy with work and with lack of sleep, i'm drained!! coupled with my elder son in a super-competitive school, it's a challenge to coach him with his schoolwork.. ARGGHH!!
Compared with the rest of the babies, Marilyn seems very contented with just sitting up and playing with her toys.. SHE HARDLY CRAWLS!! we will place her favourite toys away from her and entice her to crawl towards the toys... she chose to roll over and pickup her toys!! LOL!!
createjoy,
HOw was yr new job? Happy 9-month of Jayden! am glad that Jayden is coping good in IFC..and hope he recovers fast from the cold/ cough.
bluedream,
how's Ashton today? it's heartaching esp when he can't eat cos' of mouth ulcers and cranky.. hang in there!! My elder son had HFMD twice when he was in the childcare, and could only accept cold-stuff like ice-cream and yogurt (it's more for replacing the loss of fluids as he doesn't want to drink water then).
ahnetsan,
how is yr right thumb? better see a doc if still oozing... take care!

same as bbaugustine, J has been waking up 2hrly or even hrly every night! i dun thk it's the 9mth growth spurt, cos J has been doing tat for months!!! and it's realy very very tiring
jamie,
i plucked out the kernels, abt 20 den i jus steam the corn until they are soft (cooked i guess), den i blend into puree form, wif a bit of texture so dat he can learn to chew the food. den i feed J wif it.

HellO mummies!!
good to read the updates on ur babies and their developments. Guess its the separation anxiety period for most.
Cassey, Ahnetsan
babyproofing:
i guess most times constant supervision is the way to go. That's what i tend to do also. Its tiring so I will try to let her be on her own if she's not crying. Aisha has been more adventurous in her crawling. She will crawl out of the mat area/mattress to almost everywhere. I even let her crawl under the dining table and high chair. Once, she got stuck under her high chair when she tried to stand! LOL.. bad mummy! When she gets bullied by big sis, she'll cry and i'll ask her to crawl to me, offering to carry her. hahaha.. I bought an roomba last mth, so it really helps to keep floors clean for Aisha to crawl everywhere.
Blue Dream,
hope ur lil one is getting better! The HFMD virus is out there! Both CCs my kids going reported 1 cases each recently. Aisha no longer sucks her fingers at home but not so sure at IFC.
Createjoy,
think Jayden misses u lah...esp when only get to see u in evenings after long day. try to spend more time bonding with him. hope u are coping well.
Ah Ching,
try to break ur usual routine or go somewhere with ur baby. Maybe some distraction will do the trick for u and baby. Some weeks i try to go out on thur/fri in the evening after work. Coz tats the time I tend to feel the mummy burnout. When i get tired, i will sleep as early as 9pm while bfing! I won't feel so tried/shagged if got adequate rest but of coz, will miss out on watching tv at nite etc.

Ashton seem better le. Just hope his constipation will end after the diarrhoea session.
bbmarilyn,
sometime I feel if baby learn to stand up and cruise more is better than learn to crawling. I feel that my boy is pro in crawling now that he don't feel the need to learn to walk.
styliciously,
where did you bought the roomba? I too ask ashton to crawl to me when he cry.. so I don't need to go over and carry him. when he reach me, I will ask him to stand up.. Think it is better than dragging his legs fr the floor. Then he will hug my neck with his both hands and I feel soreness sometime when he hugs too tight.
ahnetsan,
be careful when washing next time. How's is your thumb now? Still bleeding?
wow.. you very good mummy, plunk out the corn husks.. I just blend everything.
Cassey,
Think I would let my boy sit in the cushion high chair when I let him watch. Will try to strap him and c how.
Ah Ching,
You will still need to wake up often after you take up the new job if your baby sleep did not improve when u place him in IFC. Is your hubby able to help out and let u rest during the wkend? The reason I m not working now is my hubby cannot help me during the wkday (work till quite late) and during the wkend, he may be recalled back to work. I fear that I cannot cope both work and baby at the same time.
knocking on the head...
My boy still find his head straight to the floor after practice standing up and cruising for two months. Cos of the hot weather, he sweats a lot (sweaty palms) and has to find difference ways to balance himself. N maybe he think he is pro standing up and he will try to do it faster but find his head on the floor the next min.
baby proofing.. think no full proof.. our babies can surprise us everyday.. He kind of hurt his fingers after find his ways to pull the drawer out. He is so happy and he pushes his hands with the drawer back and hurt himself in the next min.

newmum0109: just came back from IKEA, that high chair is having sale now $49 (usual $69). btw, i put the play yard on alay mat, so it's
ok to fall
AhChing: I try not to be seen by him once I left the play yard, he can stay for around 30 min or so lah
But I'll peek at him from far...
My boy also wants me only, not even his daddy, but I'll still let daddy carry, his cry will subside after a while (provided he dun see me or hear me)

Ah Ching,
Got to fence 'em up with play yard. The playmat is only to cushion, not to ring them in
Must be a test of your patience now. Hang in there. Have you tried putting him in things like the jumperoo? It helps to distract them for a while.
jamie,
thanks for the reply. May i know if yours is LG or Parklon? Understand some say LG is better cos doesn't leave a 'dent' like parklon when pressure is applied. But i thought softer is better for the cushioning..
thanks dolly,
i will check out the high chair. But if difficult to wash then will be a problem. Was looking for something that i can just wipe actually! what's alay mat?

ecmom: My fren was still using the neckfloat for her 2yr old son. This website states that the neckfloat can be used for bbs up to 18kg http://www.babybest.sg/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=67. If your child is happy in it so shd be ok. For me i stopped using it when i brought my child to the pool 3 mths ago. Mainly coz i personally find having something ard yr neck uncomfortable though bb didnt protest by crying...
Playgroups: Like to check if any mum has started looking for playgroups for their bbs... read a mum's blog with a child of the same age as us. She has already registered her child to a school.
Motivated to find one for my bb. But clueless... So many to choose in the area where i stay. Dont know which is good.

ahnetsan,
roomba is a robotic vacuum cleaner by iRobot. Basically able to move ard by itself to vaccum floor then when done, it will go back to its home base to charge. i bought the one with scheduling so I can set it to clean the house at a certain timing when i'm not around. mopping can actually be moving dirty water ard. the irobot version of the mop is scooba!

mine is $898. u need to clear clutter like toys etc from floor. it will go anywhere that is high enuff for it to squeeze under like bed. my hubby made sofa slightly higher so can go under n clean too. it will go on bumper mat too. can feel difference when u step after cleaning. i think its better than i hire a pt maid in the long run coz others like laundry or dishes i usually do myself or my mum will help sometimes.

createjoy, ya.. got the news from my aunt who is running a provision shop. I bought some more to meet his needs till about 1yr old.
seems like our babies are having some sleep issues. Dylan who is usually good at this dept is creating havoc. Stayed awaked for 2hrs four nites ago and last nite, he woke up at 4am and only slept for about 30mins ard 5am and was awake all the way till I send him to nanny. He is waking up every nite in the crawling position and also sitting position, most of the time half asleep and feeling lost about gg back to sleep! I am so zombified. He is having a little nappy rash, teething, and that horrible heat turns him to a little monster during the day. Hope he sleeps thru tonite!!

Cassey, Aug has never been a good sleeper, day or nite. But now his daytime naps have improved from last time but there are bad days when he can stay up the whole day and take a nap only in the late afternoon. As for the nite, he has NEVER slept thru the nite. The maximum hours he can go without waking is 5 hrs but that is far and between. Usually its abt 4 hrs (usually 8pm-12mn then 12mn to 4am). But there are nites when its 2 hrly feeds at nite. thats when i get really exhausted cos i start work early in the morning. I think Aug's feeding and sleeping patterns are very similar to Dolly's boy. Both of them can shake hands and be good friends.
Createjoy, my boy is very clingy to me when i come back from work also. When i first started work, he will cry the moment i step into the hse cos he wants me to carry him. I had to go into the hse quietly and take a shower before i show my face to him. But now he understands mummy has to take a shower before carrying him so he doesnt make that much noise anymore. My mum will try to play with him and distract him.
Bluedream, glad to hear that Ashton is getting better.
Re: playyard/playmat
I think the playyard helps to ensure the baby stays within the playmat to play with toys esp now that they are so mobile. It can be rather challenging to be so vigilant all the time cos sometimes need to go toilet or leave the room to take things for a short period of time. I think the playyard/playmat ensures that baby is not crawling away to somewhere dangerous and falling flat on the floor.
Aug seems contented to drag himself and pushing his feet against the ground to everywhere. He is not on his knees to crawl yet. But he is already so mobile. He can move forward/backward and change directions. Cant imagine when he is crawling proficiently. Think I will need to chase after him. I also try to get him to move towards me when he wants me to carry him to practise his crawling skills.
The weather is so hot and Aug is getting heat rashes on the back of his neck. He has been scratching both neck and ears nowadays.

One more thing, is any baby rejecting milk cos of teething? Aug didn't want his morning milk feed today. My mum think its cos he is teething. He has been making sounds with his teeth like as if he is chewing on something. I am suspecting that his upper 2 teeth are going to sprout soon.
Ahnetsan,
BTW, I have been giving corn to my bbs for the past one mth.
I dun remove the husk, and the bbs are fine wif the texture.
I think how i do it is probably the same as how u do yours.
Steps:
1. Wash the corn (haha....silly of me to write this)
2. Use a knife and slice thru the kennels, and it will fall out one piece, one piece.
3. Steam it till cooked
4. Use a bit of water, and grind it.
5. It becomes like "jar food texture" - soft.
Removing the husk is soooo troublesome hor...

poko1, I clean my bb's toys everyday, unless he didn't play with them at all that day (once in a while, that happens when we are out the whole day or he just chose to "play" with the board books only that day.)
I add a little dettol to water, use cloth (wring dry) to wipe the toys clean.

Re: Play Yard
Yay! My haenim bargain play yard arrived tonight and Kyle's taken to it beautifully. He cried at first when I popped him in in the pre-family-dinner chaos. But put him in again after dinner and he was happily cruising along the perimeter. After letting him out to roam, he crawled back in of his own accord and cruised again. YIPPEE!!! Let's just hope this continues.
styli, thanks for the recommendation! I'm considering another more affordable alternative that a good friend *you know who you are* has recommended.
I'm rather anti-fairs. Hate crowds.
My pt cleaner comes in fortnightly and does NOT do the dishes or laundry. That's not what PT cleaners are for cos those are the daily chores that we need to tackle ourselves. She cleans the floors and toilets excellently, wipes down surfaces, changes my sheets and empties and re-lines all the trash bins for me. She's great - even taking the initiative to launder my sheets and hang them out before she leaves. SHE RULES! I've recommended her to 3 other mummies here and as far as I know, 2 are using her to their satisfaction.
bbAug, same here. Kyle hasn't and is still not sleeping through the night.
He did a handful of times... But mostly his best regularly sleep time is from 10pm to 2-3am. I wonder why...
I think it somewhat easier now that Kyle is so mobile. Cos he can just come after me and doesn't need my help to retrieve his toys and what-not. He's climbing up the steps to mum's dining hall with ease now and tackling thresh-holds and little curbs from 1 room to another. So he pretty much can choose where he wants to be without too much fuss. *I'm happy!*
Poko, I'm a laidback mum. Didn't clean Kyle's toys at all unless I NOTICE they're dirty with food or he's spat on them or something big. If I see him drooling on them, I just give them a quick wipe with his burpcloth on the spot. If I don't see, oops, too bad la. When I moved in with mum, her helper helped me wash all his toys in mild detergent cos there were ants on his toy basket. Hey! What doesn't kill them will make them stronger!!!
An easier alternative I read in a parenting mag from US though... is to spray the toy basket/box and its contents with Lysol or similar disinfecting sprays. Once the items dry, there is no risk of toxic residue being left behind. RIGHT UP MY ALLEY!!!

poko,
i clean them daily or once every few days depending on how much they are fingered and drooled on. just wipe down with mild 'edible' detergent meant for washing baby bottles followed by water.

Hi all,
it's been a long time since I posted. Just came in on and off when I am free to to go online. Looks like everyone is either busy working or taking care of our lil terror!
Need some advice from those who have travelled overseas with your lil one. I am heading to HK end of the month. Was looking at what to pack for junior. How do you sterilise the bottles in HK? Can bring formula and hot water up the plane or we just bring his milk powder and rely on the hot water provided by aircraft? You think I can get cereal and jar food(like ours) there, so I just travel light? Or to lug what he is eating now? Is it safe to use HK tap water or just buy drinking water from supermart and then boil in hotel?
Sorry, just dunno where to get answer so think better ask. TIA!

Hi Mummies,
I asked previously but think its time to ask again. Have you started to give pillow to your baby? Thanks!

hi mummies,
seems like alot of bbs are having sme sleeping issues here. same goes for mine. jamus has only slept thru the nite for a couple of times. he will usually wake up 2-3times in the nite in his cot in the crawling position too! he doesn't nap well in the day as well, unless he has been out for the day, then he will nap longer in the late afternoon.
i agree the heat is terrible nowadays. jamus perspires easily! can perspire even with the fan circulating around.
re: bumper mat
mine also parklon and it cushion well enuff for his fall. so far, no cries
