Piggy,
Which colour & size are you ordering for Kyler? You're ordering the normal one wif rubber soles too rite? I'm ordering blue colour, size 16. Wanted to order brown but hb said small boys wear grey or blue cuter. Still thinking whether to take 16 or 17. My mum just told me that his new colettee shoes cannot fit already. He hasn't even worn it yet! sigh....

Bobo, when my girl was about 9 months old, there was a week, she practically only ate carrots. cos she would only eat stuff that she could hold, so that week, she survived on carrots and cheerios.
i was a little worried that she might turn orange but she seemed alright. all her poop was orange though.

Sorry, just couldn't help this. As I was discussing about primary schools, I mentioned about c probably going to Anderson pri. My bil (very yaya but actually has low self esteem, said he only gave his son the best milk enfa and that's coz it's most expensive!) heard me wrongly and said Henderson pri. After he was corrected, he still said oh Henderson pri is also a very good and famous school. Well, I just did a search. It no longer exists as it has already merged with other pri schs in 2002. So much for being 'famous'. Hmm, I wonder if I should tell him that this week when I see him. Lol

bobo,
my boy eats pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots almost every day. in fact frm mon to fri. no sign of him turning yellow leh. but i did hear one of my fren mentioned tat her daughter turned orange after eating too much carrots. so i guess it depends on individual babies bah...

ya. Dun know what my sil see in him. U know, the very first time he met the relatives, he already told a blatant lie. And he didn't even bat an eyelid. We already knew how they met but he gave some other story. What's so embarrassing about Internet match making? From then on, my hb and I knew that he's just a pack of lies.

PJPJ posted about this once, about carrots etc. She gave her son carrots, pumpkin.. then when at PD for review then she realise her son was a bit yellowish when compared to the other kids there!
then the PD said once a week only.. the excessive beta carotene will make the skin have a yellowish tinge..

Sharon, for tantrums, how i trained my girl was that we started at home. If she cried unreasonably or whines, she gets nothing until she calms down. When we first started "training", there was one afternoon she screamed intermittently for 90 mins wanting to be carried. Now when she wants to be carried, she just pats me and raises her arms. She knows that she won't get her way if she screams and whines.
Then when she cries for something she can't have, I just ignore her. I don't give alternatives or pacify bcos I want her to know that when mummy says no, it means no. And I want her to learn to obey the 'no' rather than distract her towards something else.
Some days, she still "loses it", especially now that she's trying to do more things herself and gets frustrated, then she will stamp her feet and yell for help. So just have to be patient.
But she is much better behaved now, and even though I didn't intend to "train" when we're outside (to be considerate to other people), I found that it hasn't really been necessary.
As for weaning, I have also weaned my girl over the last month. I started by not nursing her to sleep anymore. Then for the 1st week, I would offer her milk (she drinks fresh milk) in a bottle about 5 mins before her usual milk time. Then after that, if she still wanted to latch, I'd let her. But the next day, I'd increase the quantity of the milk in the bottle so that she'd be too full to latch.
Then I just stopped offering the boob, but if she request, I would give a bit, then offer the bottle again. But I didn't battle her by saying that if she doesn't take the bottle, she gets nothing. If she wanted, I would still let her latch. Also made sure that when I carry her to bottlefeed, there was a towel / cloth to cover my boobs so that she wouldn't be reminded of them. I also carried her to feed her so that there was no less cuddling or attention.
Had to trial and error a few times, formula (she didn't like), cold fresh milk (she likes it as a snack but not before her sleeping times), warm fresh milk (which she likes).
Then over a month, slowly dropped a feed at a time. I think I got lucky in the sense that she found a milk she liked to drink.
Sorry for the long post. Hope it helps you!

Sharon, you're welcome!
Actually after reading about all the mummies here who 舍不得 give up latching. I feel a bit bad. Strangely, I suddenly felt very invaded whenever my daughter was latched on. I never felt that way until she turned about a month before I decided to wean her. But a year of breastmilk is quite good already lah.

agree with u. Hehe. I have to let her watch tv so that I can cook. For toilet trips, I let her bang outside the door and scream at the top of her voice. Oh well, I let her watch a lot of tv. I grew up on tv. Must say I was a tv addict. I learnt my English fr tv I think coz my family spoke hokkien and sometimes Chinese. Maybe I had ADHD when young I dunno la.

Hahaa .. mashy, u r so funny when u said u had ADHD. But really, i oso grew up with tv. Now Ovann oso watched Baby TV on SCV during his lunch. Another time is after dinner, when i've fed him & change his diaper, I'll put him in his cot, throw some toys and switch on the tv for him to watch so that i can go clear his high chair, clear my doggie's pee/poo, and i can bathe.
Pegsfur, haha I will let u know if I find out anything abt carpe diem. I'm lazy mum, been interested in that for a long time but havnt gotten my ass down on it. Another which u might want to find out more would be dayspring. Every morning I see the bus comin over to my area to pick up the kids.
