Enjoyed cold storage event though my girl is now sick - fever. Think it is a combination of too much heat + over exertion. Son is okay though. You were right about the holding area - I was perspiring non-stop and was so relieved when we finally walked out into the hot sun! Lexi is super proud of her medal, I gotta say...was watching news last night, trying to see if we kenna caught on tv...hahha...would have love to say hi to you and kids yesterday...

Winnie
We bought insurance for our kids when they were both about one month old but I also don't know the details, my dh is the cfo at home...luckily we did for my son's uti stint ain't cheap!

Wet wipes
I usually buy the pigeon small pack (30 wipes per pack, tissue pack size) for venturing out. Much lighter and if we forget to close the pack properly, not so many sheets wasted...

HBB
Don't forget to apply the aloe vera gel...

Lamagier
You are not the worst lah, at least you are still nursing, lazy me here stopped a few months back!

Celine
What do you wanna cook? Porridge? Pasta?

I want an iphone! everyone has one
sad.gif
 
Hi Celine, just to share. My boy is also 10 mth some of the things that i m cooking for him are:
mushroom soup, spinach soup, steam pumpkin, porridge with fish, beef, chicken etc..
 
haha hbb,
ask edna to go catch spider man and they can get married, if spider man becum ur SIL u huat liao, no nid insurance, save $

FOZ,
i also want n i-fone, touch screen, easy 2 use, no $ to buy, sob sob
 
Celine,
apart from the above, pasta, potatoes, etc...go for textures. ;-P Try the one of the biggest recipe books in the world: Google. LOL!

iphone is very expensive!!!! Honestly, I only bought mine because my phone had died that very morning and I needed a phone desperately and that was the only one I knew, so no time to think, just rushed down to Singtel (at that time) and bought it.

My dh prefers blackberry anyway, so it may not be your cup of tea. Comfort yourself. Hehhehheh.
 
Re: iPhone
My colleague said his iphone got stolen while out dragonboating at kallang river. Cost him $1k to get another one! Said he got it for only $200 when he bought it together with moile phone plan. And he said his wasn't the only stolen the dragonboat place last weekend... Take care of your phones... I do believe iphone is just too tempting for some people put there with nimble fingers
 
Good Morning Ladies!!!

ISETAN PRIVATE SALE is back! this coming Thursday starts at 8am.

Taka member sale also on the same day.
Haiz, why it has to start during the school holiday?

Time to stock up the necessities, wipes, dior bag or ralph lauren polo top. hehehe...I regret didn't buy the polo top which went for 70% last private sale as I didnt know the gender of the baby yet. the 12M to 24M size of polo shirt for boys are so cute. well, for girl too, but the price is still expensive after the sale, unlike the boys top. Kim, how much was 1 top did you pay for?

Food.
Naomi has just taste her first choc bday cake last sat. I guess it's the first sweet stuff that she ever try...she gobble a big bite and keep asking for more!

The weather is so scary. scorcing hot! I thought I have a heat stroke or something...got feverish for 2 nights.
Today is last day to school, the last day I get my freedom till end of June! supposed to go for facial this morning, but end up have to see doctor to ask for paracetamol. haiz.
Pray for me that I can survive the school holiday!
 
Re: Need Advice
DD has been having low grade fever (lingers btw 37.3-6) for the past couple of days, super duper cranky and refused to eat (thou wanting to nurse/suckle all day long!). Last nite b4 bedtime, I notice some spots on her feet! Is it HFMD or juz teething?? The earliest appt available at the doc is Thurs, will hv to see the "walk-in doc", which would mean sitting in the waiting rm for dunno how long and possibly catch on other virus. Argghhhh, I'm procrastinating...
 
Etirto,
Haha, your 2 N will be keeping you very busy!


Food
I think I should be counting my blessings that MR still gobbles up her porridge, as long as it's not me or the husband feeding her. The silly girl finishes her food without fuss when it's my sis, mum, aunt feeding. But she cranks up when it's me or the husband. Guess she knows who she can bully.

urg, brought work home and only manage to hit the sack around 1am. panda eyes. I want to go home... i want to go play date... I want to go home to my bed
 
Noelle, bring to the GP or PD who have outdoor waiting area. teething won't have red spots...

Lamagier, take leave la! this thursday is good one. coz got 2 sales going on and can go playdate too!
 
etirto
haha... i jus bio the newsletter this morning. thur on leave... very tempted to go. now u tell me polo got sale, the more i want to go.

lamagier
take leave this thur... then it's long long weekend! amanda also hasn't gone for playdate for the longest time.

noelle
look out for spots on her fingers n see if there's any ulcers in her mouth if it's hfmd. the last time, my elder boy got umpteen ulcers in the mouth which i didnt notice until i saw the blisters on his fingers n feet. he had rather high fever (above 38degrees for 2 days). when my girl got it, she only have low grade fever. no ulcers in mouth, just a few blisters on fingers n feet. even if it's hfmd, dr won't be able to diagnose in the early state n will just ask u to monitor a few more days. N there's no cure except maybe some mouth drop to soothe their throat when they eat/drink. n cold water do help. definitely hope it's not hfmd for her case.
 
bbethan, email me at [email protected] ok, coz a few times your email address error le...

btw, I haven't see the flyer yet, usually polo got sale but not every private sale got sale wor...but generally things like oshkosh,gingersnap, pumpkin patch, fisher price,pigeon, avent, leapfrog, confidence swimsuit, all toys on 20-30% even cosmetics like clarins go for 20% plus 10% rebate.
 
ETirto, that's what I thot too, shdn't hv red spots... but there only a few intl clinics we can go to, all indoor and it's high season for sick kids... *sigh*

Bbethan, thanks for the info. I'll monitor her closely today, I hope it's not hfmd too
sad.gif
sounds really painful...
 
noelle,
my gal also have mild fever about 37.2. Hai... worry. Hope our little one can have a healthy body everyday.

hbb,
make a teddy bear that have printing her dad face on it so she can hug it with her when she go sleep or whenever she miss her dad.
happy.gif


i love sales but have to work...
 
Re; iphone

my hb just got me one for mother's day present. Love it.
happy.gif
very easy to use.

gina
my elder boy was like your gal. He's a walking blender. Blends all the food and then spit them out. Till now he still doesn't like to eat and he's so small.

Noelle
My gal also have fever now.
sad.gif
Started from last night. No other symptoms. sigh. But since your gal have spot, better go and check. Haha, u scared she catch other virus from other kids, i'm sure other parents are also fearful of catching the HFMD from your gal if that's what she has.
 
bbethan, etirto,
You've got me sold. Haha, I go apply leave. 1 have 17 days leave stash away for the remaining year. Hope no emergnecy crops up and I can use hem to go on play dates =p
 
Mashy
You are the second mom whom I know received an iphone for mothers' day - I received a bouquet of sunflowers and was happy...until I go on playdates and all the moms carry iphones
sad.gif
haha, anyway, what are you guys giving to dh for Fathers' Day?

Lamagier
Do you often have to bring work home to do till late? Glad to know you will be able to join us this Thurs...

Etirto
You are always so up to date with the various sales happening across this little island - thanks for sharing. I am very tempted. Will you be able to get me in if I go with you?

Hope all sick kiddos + their mommies get well soon - June hols coming, must go out and play!
 
FOZ,
Not that often. But got some urgent stuff to do these few weeks, so will need to burn some midenight oil. Lack of sleep is not good for milk supply, as I found out...

TJE,
Hee, will do will do
 
lamagier
haha... dun forget u still hv 6 days childcare leave. i've not touched my current yr AL. been clearing my ML. next yr won't hv such luxury of taking leave now n then.

re iphone
i also want one.
but i also see a lot of kids get hooked up on the iphone too. my boy will want to stand by me n watch me "play" with my phone though it's not one. he thinks any phone which is touch screen = iphone?
 
bbethan,
Haha. Dh's colleague said his daughter's so used to seeing iphone => took a normal phone, ran her fingers along the screen and asked her daddy 'why the screen spoilt, cannot move'

Hee, my 17days leave already include the 6 days childcare leave. I have 11 days annual leave to clear by end of year, in addition to that
 
FOZ

i haven't thought abt that coz my hb's birthday is very close to Father's DAy. :p Anyway, he's been getting presents for himself until got scolded by me. see how lah. Maybe get the kids to do a card for him or something.

bbethan
my boy is also hooked on handphone games. I refused to let him play until he finishes his food. He's been asking for my hb's other touchscreen handphone which he traded off for my iphone. So now mummy control whether he can play or not. hehehe. My hb is very lax abt my boy playing games whereas i'm rather against it.
 
Hi mummies, it has been a while since i last come in..

Re: Insurance
I bought life, medical, accident for my boy n ger but from different company, AIA n Great Eastern.
Each cost ard $120/mth as the sum assured for life insurance is not tat high.
And a separate saving plan which can be either education fund or retirement fund.

Re iphone:
My hb has it, i might get one too nx yr when my contract end if there isn't others fascinating new phone.
Yes, my son addicted to it. But we restrict him to finish whatever homework then he can play for 30mins.

Re teething:
My ger has 2 lower teeth now.
She recently cry out loud when she is still sleeping, w/o open her eye.
Does it have anything to do with teething?

Re food / water:
My maid have been giving cereal n porridge to her.
But she seem not tat interested, may need to try some new recipe.
My ger has been refusing to drink plain water since a few mth back.
Bought those baby tin juice for her to mix with hot water.
She drink it for some time, now refuse again.
So i try another brand fruit juice, she start to drink again.
Is this normal?

Re SALE:
Taka / Isetan private sale? So it doesn't open to public izit?
Then have to wait for GSS liao.
I have some Taka voucher which i want to buy some toys for my boy n ger.

Hope everyone have great long weekend ya...

it's rather scary to see how kids get addicted to the iphone... and especially the age.... as young as 2yo n they r so pro in it liao. this auntie here don't even know how to use. if i ever get, i hv to hide it in my bag.

meiyun
my girl is like that too when it comes to drinking water. she now knows how to turn her head away when she sees the bottle. she even uses her hand to shove it away. i dare not let her try juice cos i'm afraid she'll even refuse to drink plain water more. the only time she's willing to drink is when eating biscuits/puffs.
 
Mashy,
my mum told me she vomit out the milk or food that she took. Today happen like that leh. Where to get probiotics? oh dear need to drip, dun scare me..
 
bbethan, i think i had 'unintentionally' pamper my ger to drink fruit juice liao..
had tried to 'tempt' her with puff while drinking plain water but she dun seem to get it..
ya, she also know how to shake her head n uses her hand to shove off the bottle..

mashy, i also have the feeling it might be nightmare.
but it only started this mth, so was wondering cud it be teething?
sometime it happen continuously for a few days, stop a few days n happen again.
mostly when i carry her n talk to her loudly she will stop, mayb need to go 'bai bai' liao..

pinky, agree with mashy, or u may try to put some ru yi oil to massage the stomach.

Iphone is indeed very addictive, my son can even ask daddy to search for new game for him.
 
pinky
ya... it sounds like stomach flu. my gal got it last mth. keep her hydrated to avoid drip. I brought her to see the PD n was given a bullet to put into her anus to stop the vomitting.
 
no time to follow the thread cos too many small projects running at the same time..

Anyway, I hope all is well with all mommies.

Quick qns, need info and views on following items:
1. Precious Planet™ Lion Booster
http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=900002&e=storeproduct&pid=48579&section=babygear
2. Precious Planet™ Healthy Care™ Booster
http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=900002&e=storeproduct&pid=51040&section=babygear

My church is using the old version of the booster seat and K is ok sitting there for feeding, so I am wondering if you have heard the good and bad of them, and if you also know there is BP.
I also thought I could order now, use in USA and take it home. Probably the best way to buy it.

Thanks!
 
food intake:
i duno if i am over feeding or under feeding edna..
she have 4 meals a day
9am: 120 milk , part of the milk mix into 5 tbsp of dry cereal w 2 cube of apple cinamon puree. and she drinkt he remainder
1pm: 1 bowl of porridge (quite a big bowl)
5pm: 1 bowl of porridge (almost same bowl as the lunch's) pLUS 60 ml of milk
8.30pm: 240ml of milk

the problem is.. esp the 5pm feed... by 7ish she is suckin thumb.. v hungry already... but the porridge is thick and filling... hw can she get hungry so fast?!??!?! dh tink i over fed her.. a few mummy also think tat is a scary portion.. but sh eis still hungry.. or is she jus plain greedy?
nt to forget.. if we have dinner..she eat alot of rice ard 6ish or so as well...
 
Pinky,
I hope your bb gets well soon.

iphone - buy it for a 4 yr old!!?!? CRAZY, Even if I had the money, I wouldn't do that - what kind of values are you teaching the child, plus is it good - health wise - their eyes/radiation/etc for them? I think Singapore has high percentage of myopia in the world?

Kim - aren't those chairs quite big and heavy to lug around? But bec it's plastic, it's very easy to clean!

Fruit juice:
Do you all make your own fruit juice to give bb or buy the baby fruit juice? And do we need to dilute it?

My friend's chair says Baby Solutions on the box, but I can't seem to find it online, so will take photo tomorrow and try to post it...
