reira,
i chanced upon this website. you may like to take for reference. i intend to buy the beach ball and play with Claira. She seems enjoy playing with balls in her hand when her sister plays with her.

kitty,
ture! it's never easy to be a woman esp a mommy!

jul,
isn't it great that he show no interest in ur food. then u won't be stress to start him now. u can drag a little long till 6mos.

my gal is showing interest in our food now but i still not ready.
 
kiki,
thanks for the raffles children clinic info. ya...manz, ur mom's plc is so convenient just walk to interchange. *envy*

i usually go kinder clinic at holland or mount alveria. but they are quite far from my plc. i will standby the raffles info in case i need it urgently.
 
sharon

ryan is a week younger than sam right? i forget how many weeks sam is liao. now i just go by mths, easier!

peg

sad.gif


sharon, peg, kitty

did u get any spotting before u got ur menses? i got some spotting abt 2wks ago. i hope that's not a sign
 
Hi jul,

Myra isn't interested in solids too. Good for me too cos I don't have to worry abt feeding her.

Peg,

Thanks for sharing the video webby. Found it really educational. At least now have an idea what to do with her. Haha ...

kyrie,

is this the chair with v wide legs?
 
phy o

Not feeding solids saves time n effort.. but I do wonder when or whether I need to increase sam's feed. He's still taking 3-hourly during waking hrs.
 
Jul & Peg

Gd that your baby is not interest in food. My gal open her mouth when we pretend to feed her with food and she kept eyeing at our food. Think will give her soild when she is 6 mths old...
 
hi jul,
I guess the green stuff under kyrie's son high chair is the supporting cushion. I still hesitate getting caden high chair but he enjoy sitting on our lap hehe
happy.gif
we watch Madcaoscar2 yesterday interesting he seems loving it never make noise hahha
 
jul,
yup..tink 1-2week younger
i go by mths also..lost count of weeks..hee
yes...got abit of brownish discharge

kyrie,
the cushion u bought fr ikea too?
 
juz brought ryan for his jab...only 7kg at 4mths
asked PD bout solids, she say wait till 6mths n start wif plain cereal first n gave me some brown rice cereal samples
 
Kitty,
i alr bott my bb to public pool twice once when he was 3mth + the other time is last wk... so far ok..

Peg,
sian n i notice the flow is quite heavy urgh... last time my menses only 4day today 3rd day liao still heavy i hope it a 1 time thing..

Jul,
i had spottin be4 i stop BF but no menses n be4 my menses return no sign of spottin so dun tink it a sign..
 
piggytoh: how long did u stay in the pool? i brought my girl to the pool yday... i spent quite a while in it... was worried she might catch a cold cos the water was quite cold.

but she enjoyed it lots. took quite a few cute shot of her swimming
 
mensus> i oso on tbf, oredi 2nd mensus now, n i gave birth only in sep wor -_-"

el nino> my boy is still on tbf, so no water even. hais. whenever he sees me n hubby eat, he cannot give us peace, cos he knows he gets nothing wor. very irritating, esp everytime we dine only in restaurant when bring him out over de weekends, since baby abit hard to go to foodcourt/kopitiam. den he fuss all the way, making me n hubby eat so quickly, cannot enjoy the food. grrs

jul> wah. like tat means my boy is ready for solid? but he still dunno how to reject milk when he is full, so most likely not ready hor?

kyrie_el> so cute ur boy in ikea highchair. wonder when my boy can sit in there n behave himself =p
 
high chair
A friend just passed me her used fisher price high chair ... haven't assembled it yet .. not sure if Ovann can sit on it now. But i'm definitely putting him on high chair to feed him, cannot use the bumbo cos i think my dog will want to share his food. Even when using high chair, i can imagine my dog parking herself below to catch the spills/scraps thrown by Ovann.

monster-in-law
I know it's the new year but i can't help it ... really need to vent here.

2 wks ago, Ovann was napping at 7+ in the evening. I was in the room, lights dimmed and my tv volume lowered. Anyone seeing this wld know that bb is asleep rite? No .. obviously, SHE doesn't know.

MIL must charge into my room and asked me wat is Ovann's birth cert no. cos she thot she kena 4d buying his no. At this instance, my dog barked cos she doesn't like my mil too, and bb woke up.

Few days ago, the same thing happened. Room lights were dimmed, tv volume lowered ... and she must IMMEDIATELY ask me some question the moment she reached home .... asked me why her hp not working etc. She talked so loudly, my dog barked again, and yes, bb woke up after barely 10mins of nap. I was so damn pissed.

Are those questions so important that they command such urgency that she need to ask me THE MOMENT SHE REACHED HOME??? Pls lah ... such things can wait till i come out of the room rite? Or better still wait for her son den ask lah! So kan cheong for wat?

She is ALWAYS like dat de ... even when we are sleeping, early in the morning on a weekend, at abt 7+ or 8+, she can call my hubby's hp, just to ask him why her hp is not working/wat is the tel no of 3rd aunt/when is he going to offer prayer to his father/the heater is spoiled, when is he gonna ask someone to repair .....etc. She used to knock on our door last time, but stopped cos my dog will bark. So she resorted to calling on hb's hp. She's always doing brainless selfish acts like dat and it's making me super irritated.
 
sl

i think sam still doesn't realise what is food?

babiesme

oh it's cushion ah?

i'm starting to let sam sit for 5min interval in his bumbo just this week. his neck muscles took some time to stiffen so i din dare let him sit till now. think i'll also get the ikea high chair to try when feeding sam. if can't work out, then put at mils' place n buy another one lor.
 
sharon, piggy

oh then i hope my spotting is just spot for fun!

sharon

plain cereal meaning white cereal, not brown rice cereal? or plain = dun add any veg/fruit inside?
 
michelle

i'm not sure, but bb doesn't have to have all the signs to be ready for solids right? but then, 17 weeks = 3 3/4 mths ard there right? maybe u can wait till 4 full mths then start
 
pegsfur

guess ur mil is just one of those oblivious pple. there're lots of such pple ard.

very often, u meet these weird pple who stand in the middle of a crowded corridor, blocking everybody.. then when u tell them to escuse me.. they give u dirty look like u did something wrong. what to do?
 
jul,

Yup ... oblivious & brainless. Those who blocked other people's way, at least sometimes that's becos they can't see from their back. But in my case, it's so obvious that i think even the blind wld know bb is sleeping, so dun make so much noise. And the thing is, u all know my relationship with her rite ... not that kind of kawan-kawan type. When she asked me things i already replied in a irritated manner le, still wanna come & ask me boh liao things.

Next time i'm just gonna close my door when i hear her return. I hope she doesn't knock.
 
piggytoh
no lah Zachary dont have tooth yet. those are gum cryst haha.

hopefully we can move in by end of april or start of may! 1st appt is feb, 2nd appt should be march. will ask for early completion since the current owner also want to get rid of the house due to outstanding bank loan. then reno should be march - april.

jul
whoa ur hubby so good pack for you to sell ah. ok lah find a day list all out and make a wts thread bah.

kitty
i bought a swim tub for Zachary to swim at home. actually he dont swim much nowadays. more of like float and soak in water haha

Peg

michelle
i always go to foodcourt with baby. is it too crowded thats why you dont bring baby there?
 
hi mashy,

haha! yes, i was at scbb, no 28! yes yes, saw u on facebook. sorry, i've got poor memory, cannot recall faces man! keke!
 
today went to my sil's house and brought Myra for a swim. Her first time swimming. water was cold but she was brave. put her in the float and she floated abt. my mil said she was keeping a lot, gd exercise for her. so cute.
 
pegsfur,
can u next time tell her "shhhhh baby sleeping, softer pls?" then mebbe she'll get it. some pple not so auto la. in life, not everyone has common sense.
 
Pegsfur,
i tink ur mil dun use her brain to tink 1 so she might really dunno bb sleepin since she no brain ... nvm la excuse her ignorant....
happy.gif
but if i were u i will simply tell her bb sleepin can go out first?

Reira,
icic.. once reno start it v fast!!! u can start tinkin of ur dream home...how u wanna renovate...
happy.gif
 
Peg

haha.. that's cool! now we know one good way to keep the supply up during menses!! that's shopping!! =]

Kyrie
ur boy is SOOoo cute! he looks like he's enjoying himself on the high chair!

Piggytoh/Liz
wow! how did u bring baby to the pool? must he wear special gear or something? haha.. i am not too sure wat to bring to the pool. how bout the float? where can i buy them?

Reira
Swim tub! that's soo cute! is it expensive? wat kind of neck float do u use? =]

Jul
dun worry abt the spotting.. my gynae said that tbf sometimes cause that =]
 
actually din prepare much. it was a last min decision as her sis wanted to go swimming. I just dressed her up in swimming costume with pampers on. remove the pampers when we reach the pool and put her in with the neck float. Had to quickyly wrapped her up in towel once she's out.
happy.gif
 
jul,
Best to start with brown rice cereal.

No ikan bilis or veg. Just plain like Sharon said. BTW, ikan bilis not suitable till much much older cos can cos skin allergy if bb got sensitive skin.

3449970.jpg

I will only let my bb start solid in Mar 2010 no doubt he did show some interest in food. Whenever we eat, he will drood and munch hahaha. By then, think his digestive system will be better. I kind of prefer the black one which comes with padded cushion ($69). The white one is around $29, supporting cushion $9.
 
re: jumperoo
i rented a jumperoo...but ryan's too short...he is tip-toeing while on the jumperoo...is it ok?
im worried its bad for his legs...or shld i put something below to raise the level?
 
reira
we only got our flat after married so no hurry moving in.. then now with baby no choice coz in-laws' house no extra room. if we put the cot in our room, no space for us to move leh..

solid food
dh feed my boy some banana and he likes it.. that time i fed him frisocream he dun want and cried.. so i can add the mash banana in the cereal?
 
pegsfur
really dont know why some mil is like that!! do u always stay in the room with Ovann when she is at home? I cant wait to move into my flat so that we dont have to lock inside the room when my mil is at home! lucky she work full time else i will really go crazy haha! weekends are my least fav days of the week cos she is at home.

phy*o*
Myra is so brave! I've been training Zachary to swim in cold water for 2 weeks already but everytime he sure will make the =( face a bit.

piggytoh
Yah! already start thinking what to renovate le. any recommendation on a good contractor?

mashy, phy*o*
same, i am bad with faces too. forget who is who easily unless saw facebook pics a lots of time!

kitty
i bought the swim tub for $70 including neck float.

baby ja
i am opposite from you. even tho pil's place got 2 spare rooms, we cant wait to move out!!!

aquaduck trial
they will be closed till 4th Jan. Will submit the list to them on 4th. but so far havent receive reply from 5 mommies!

anyone else interested?
 
Reira,
yes i do know 1 i find his work gd n price reasonable.. at least after doin some comparison his is consider cheap... if u wan i can gave u his contact:p
 
so fedup with my boi this 2 day when i gave him water he dun wan to drink probably n after i remove the bott he will play the water in his mouth n throw them out any1 bb doin the same thing?
 
Jul / sharon
Haha..yeah..ppl always tot he's older than 5 months!

The green stuff are the supporting cushion from ikea, the one babiesmeme posted..just that i made a cover for it cos my boy keeps chewing on the cushion! the original cushion 'mao mao' one..i scare the 'mao mao' fall out while he chewing!

The gap behind him is too far away from the backrest..so have to put the cushion there to let him sit straight

babiesmeme
Yup! the cushion from ikea as well! easier to wash also...dirty just remove the cover and throw into the washing machine!

phy *o*
It is the white one babiesmeme posted, cheap and not too bad! like wat some mummies said, it's easy to wash if it's dirty, just bring to the toilet and hose it!

Michelle
He only sat there for a few mins then started banging the tray!! lol...dun let his looks deceive u!

kitty
He enjoys looking at things! and banging the table...lol...
 
Piggy

I just stop BF for 2 wks my mense come and visit me liao. The flow also v heavy. Hope only this time...

Reira

I will give aquaduck trial a miss...
 
pegsfur

i agree with phy o. some pple really live in their own world one. cannot assume that they have common sense.

but i think ur mil wants to come n talk to u coz either she's lonely, or just wanna find excuse to see ovann? despite ur relationship lor.

reira

tdy he helped me take photos of all the things to sell haha

sharon, phy o

ok, i get it. thanks so much
happy.gif
that shd be easy. just mix milk into the happy bellies cereal can liao haha

kitty

i saw the spotting n felt so sian lor.. like oops, cramps back to torture me. so spotting really nothing to do with menses coming back? that's great news

babiesme

thanks for the pic - the supporting cushion is so clear. i like the black cushioned one better too. but i dread the mess n washing.

piggy

haha ur boy sounds really playful

kyrie

wah u know how to make cushion cover ah. i m hopeless at craft
 

but i think he's really smart leh. can spit out water at u.. can take out his pacifier.. i'm sure this irritation is better than him being gonggong right?
