Hi gals,

Horray..it's kockoff time. Got a qn to ask: are we allowed to use a clean spoon or chopstick to stir the milk in the milk bottle when preparing the milk? U know, sometimes, there are clots of milk and we dun see it until baby is drinking the last bit of it
 


hi mummies..
finally can use pc.. HB cheapo.. want to wait for starhub got promotion then apply for internet.. so now only can use when at in-laws' house.. so sian..

so far my wound will itch, but no blood.. better go for a check if there's blood coming out.. mine had minor infection 2weeks after my c-section.. dunno y also.. my MIL say mayb due to walking too much, coz i visited my boy in the hospital everyday after i discharged..
 
my boy drinking 160ml every 4hrs.. but last feed only 120ml.. isit too little? he juz dun wan to drink leh.. and i have to separate his feed.. eg: 100ml first then mayb 20-30mins later another 60ml.. faint..

that's life lah. I had planned everything nicely but someone throw a spanner in the works, so end up one huge mess.

yr boy is smart, mine just refuse to hold.

pris
hmm how to check if he's teething? he has been drooling since week 12.

pjpj
i'm also using glass bottles, i thought it was the weight, so we switch to plastic bottles, but still the same.

phy
think it's the grouses of all ftwm - the maid horrors and the tiredness. sighs, i don't like the idea of nanny, saw too many who expose the babies to TV and what not.

yeah, will resume night feeds, too tired to continue the 4-6 times waking up for water/attention.

mickeymouse voice and screaming
i'm glad it's just a phrase - not sure how long i can stand it before i start whacking him.

jul
somehow i can't bring myself to the idea of a nanny, maybe will just quit if can't work out alternative work arrangements - job can anytime find but if something happen to zac...will so regret it.

reira
i replied you abt the trial-sat shd be ok. eh..i can't remember the details - but the trial is free right?
 
Baby screaming
My baby also screams a lot now. Very noisy some times.

Baby Drooling
My baby starts to drool a lot. If it's a phase when will she stop drooling?

Baby likes to bite things
My baby starts to put her toys in her mouth n if she is unable to put the toy in her mouth, she will whine. I've been checking if her teeth r out but no teeth yet. Should we clean our babies gum now to prepare for teething?

banana puree> is this how i make banana puree? Peel a small banana and mash with a fork. During the first stages of weaning, add a little milk if necessary to thin down the consistency and add a familiar taste.

Yes possible to have a triad lesson.

Wat are ur charges ?
 
For infants 6mth will take it $20 per lesson on 30 min timing as infants are only 30 min duration unless is hyperactive. If you go by monthly is $120 for 4 lesson -30-45 min duration by infants.
As for adult wise is $ 150 per 4 lesson individual one -to- one only , if more mummy are in, will be cheaper accordingly, so are u interested in Aqua Aerobic or Swimming for Mommies???

baby screaming
Zachary never scream. When he is happy he will laugh "hahahahaha".

drinking from straw
today is the 3rd time teaching Zachary to drink from straw using the method Pris taught me. He can suckle on it to get the water out and my hand can feel the suction. then I put the straw back into the training cup and he manage to drink a bit from it and choked!

http://www.ehow.com/how_2278365_teach-baby-drink-from-straw.html

juliet
haha your boy is really cute leh!!! come to you and snack biscuits from you!! mine also will try to snatch if i am eating.

pegsfur
Zachary suck both his thumb and big toe. *faint*

Pris
wah, you are feeding Ray 3 times rice cereal a day! But doesn't it count as starting solid already?

Really envy that Ray can nap for so long everyday. Did you train him to nap for so long or there it just happen automatically? Zachary can only nap two 30mins nap during day time. But night time he will sleep from 10 PM till 9 AM (with 2 milk feeds at 12 am and 6am)

kikilala
Now I am taking multi vit supplement and 3 glasses of milk a day. very scared lack of calcuim and other vitamins for my own body due to breastfeeding.

Jul
you are slim lor!!! Even during preggie you are slim! I take multivit and fish oil (for DHA). did you start taking the nordic natural fish oil?

baby ja
alamak! tell your hubby for now dont join any promotion but still apply for internet. meaning if you are getting Maxonline express, you will be paying roughly $60 a month. dont sign any contract if starhub ppl promo. after a few months if there is any promotion, just ask your hubby go to StarHub and sign up for promotion. Thats what I am planning to do when my flat is ready but I will be getting singnet.

mich, babymaking
Got your emails le. Now I understand why they reply so slow lah. Cos those who attend to us are actually coach lor. Maybe aquaDuck dont have admin or customer service personnel

yes, trial is free.

pegsfur
Next Sat also got a trial. Will confirm once Nurun reply.

BB
my boy also like to put stuffs in mouth, take it away he will be angry

weishy
$120 for 4 lessons quite ex wor! aquaduck only $255 for a term of 12 weeks. Meaning 4 lessons only $85.
 
yen

during antenatal class, they said dun put things into the fm to stir - contamination. just swirl until everything dissolves. but yeah, it take super long!

reira

aiyah suay.. this sat cannot
sad.gif


babymaking

true that nannies will just sit the child in front of the tv. same as helpers. guess they gotta free up their time by the easiest way of occupying the kid lor

michelle

hmm when's the cereal coming? end-jan right?

weishy

how come $20/lesson but $120/4 lessons/mth? *scratch head*
 
reira

how come sam has no interest in his toes? he can't even reach them, not to mention suck.

yeah i'm taking the fish oil. which multivit r u taking? think i better start b4 i kena 'suck dry' by my pisa!

sigh i'm not slim. i'm just paranoid abt only wearing clothes that flatter haha. darn the stupid loose tummy n fat thighs
sad.gif
 
jul
i bought from lucky vitamin (that time Claire's spree). chewable type lol forgot the brand liao. i think any multi vits will do bah, as long as it got those important vitamins.

wont get phobia de lah, either your hubby or you will be hugging him in the pool. if worried, can let the instructor know that this is the first time Sam swims.
 
Reira
thanks for organising. Will send u my details in a while's time for this sat class. But what does baby wear? So far she swims naked at hwa xia or with swim diapers in their big pool but have not bought swim suit for her yet. And we mummies go down to pool with baby right?
 
i wonder if i'm the only one who is slimmer than before i was pregnant.
sad.gif


i'm underweight and my weight is even worst than the last time. People said that i am lacking of sleep but i don't think so and i have been eating a lot. i want to grow fat, but no matter how much i eat, i am alwasy skinny :'( really, not nice, ugly.

are there a lot of mummies here still breastfeeding? feel so tired to pump. baby is 5 months old now and she just started to flip.

wow, seems tat alot of you are bringing bb for a swim. so fun..
 
<font color="ff0000">aquaduck trial on this Sat</font>- Tanglin Village pool , 5 pm
4 slots left.

ktmum
you are welcome. i am checking with Nurun too what should our baby wear. Should be swim diaper bah! Hopefully.

sweetmama
so good that you are slimmer than before preggie!! I looks fatter than before preggie even tho weigh lesser than before preggie. Really don't know how to get rid of all my 3-layer fats!!!

you wanna join us for aquaduck trial?
 
Bleh!! This is pissing me off!

Is it my comp or anyone experiencing the same thing? I have to login everytime I come to this forum even tho I had saved the password. grrr!!! Both firefox and IE also like that.
 
Today my boy fo for the injection and weight him also he only 7.4kg . is he underweight as only increase 300g for 1mth . Worry...
 
bean,
how old is yr boy? i dun think he's under weight lah. but i've heard tat it's best tat they gain at least 500g per month.

reira,
think i also must start training my boy to drink using straw. in case he continues to boycott bottle.
 
weishy
tried le. =(

bean
Zachary is 7.6kg at 5 months old. Increase 500g only. But according to PD clinic assisstant, got increase can already. Plus PD told us before that they will only be 10kg at 1 year old and weight gain will slow down from 4 month onward. as long as baby is 10kg at 1 year old should be alright bah.
 
bean,
dun worry. my boy is onli 6.7kg when he almost 5mths old. doc also din say anything. though i wished he's 7kg. hope this month he'll be 7.5kg since he hv started on solid. &amp; these few days he ate quite a bit.
 
does anyone know if the habourfront organic shop sells healthy times puree bottled food? or anyone hv the number to the shop? i call to check.
 
<font color="#1cbab4"><font size="+0">baby ja (jagiebaby) >> yay, mine also wound open and infection after op. think like wat you say, walk too much. oh! what happen to you boy? He din go home with you when u discharge?

Reira (sumire) >> Thanks for organizing yay. Me and my baby gal would love to go but got weddin dinner to attend. Any chance for me to go down another time? Is this an exclusive event or something?</font></font>

<font color="#1cbab4"><font size="+0">sweetmama (sweet_mama)>> Lucky you! Did you breastfeed? Heard breastfeeding helps to cut down the fats fast.. sigh. I have one big pouch still hanging there; like a kangaroo! and come to think of it, I find it useful cos my baby gal loves to face the front and I place her bum on my pouch so she can sit on it. damm it. I'm talking like I'm the kangaroo! *toink toink toink

weishy (hlmommy) >> Wah! Sabah.. suddenly I was reminded of the japanese yummy fish. anyways, which mountain did you climb? I'm sure you got loads of photos to share! Any nice sunset pic to make us feel oooooommmmm?

Reira (sumire) >> By the way, my baby gal is only 5mth+; so I was wondering if she can still join the trial class? Thanks!

Seriously, I have not watched TV for the longest time ever! Come to think of it, even my MIL who babysit someone's baby watches tv everyday. I think only mums themselves can resist such temptation.

Eunice Boey (eboey) >> yesh, dammm painful. I was horrified when i saw my tummy belt drenched. yikes! During that time, it was a crazy period, cos my guy travels non-stop and I was alone with my baby gal, and I was also mending my blogshop *total madness! My guy travels so much that my friends are branding me as single mum. bitchy right. ahhahah... Anways, I hope I can go for natural birth in my next round! lol. When did you have your op? Mine on 2nd Aug. I don't know if you have this super super numb feeling which I dreaded the most out of the whole c-sect experience!

Mommies, can I ask if anyone goes to the business listing in sgmotherhood and surf there? I wanna know cos i listed my blogshop there and hmmmmm it seems quiet. Appreciate any form of feedback pls... Seems like BP threads are more popular. I found myself going there to buy cookies and stuff. Total madness again. lol.

* munching on love letters; hahaha my CNY is already here! Wheeee!

Gin Oh

You have overcome it, well done mommy! Me too, I hope i can go for natural birth for the 2nd one. I had my c-sect on 28 aug. I was on epidural instead of GA, feel as though paralysed haha. Dun mind me asking, which gynae did u go to?
 
<font color="#1cbab4"><font size="+0">Michelle (mwerkz) >> this flipping affair is hilarious! in the middle of the night somemore! Any pillows or bean bags to place him down a little? Mine too lazy to turn. Maybe bum too big. hmmm. hmmm.

Janice (mystifiedjan) >> hahah I think ur baby screams cos I think we, moms have boobs whereas dads have hairy hard chest. My baby gal screams when she hops into the dad's chest. She loves my warm boobs la. After sitting in there, she knocks out. She prefers the soft pillows!

I would like to think of it as : if you sit in a warm hot tub for the whole day and suddenly someone came along and made you sit in a tub of cold water, won't you curse and swear too? lol.

Eunice Boey (eboey) >> Mine at TMC, TLC by Dr. Eunice Chua. Love her! Charming personality. Her stitches are good; I'm sure she sews well. (lame joke) Will see her again for my 2nd one. I need to plan, seriously. How about you? </font></font>
