hi Pris,
Just wondering if you can help. When is a good time to let our babies swim in a pool? Looking back the 2 occasions when i brought the baby for swimming, it seems like he was pretty scared, kept holding onto the handle on the swimming ring.
I was thinking if i can bring him to the pool, i can slowly introduce him to the environment so that he will not have a bad experience about swimming. Also hoping to expose him, make him more daring and experential.
Realised that my baby takes a long time to warm up to strangers and do not really smile unless it is familiar faces. How to make him more receptive to the environment and people?
Apologies for the numerous questions, i just hope that my boy is able to get some social skills which is pretty important in life. Is my expectations too high?

how ah? I'm so tempted to get the super expensive stokke stroller. It's so expensive, will burn a big hole from my pocket and dun even know if i can even afford it 2nd hand. Wonder what's the resale value...
Reason: Coz my gal hates strollers and i've been carrying her all this while. If not for her being so light, i would have surrendered long ago. But she still gave me a numbed arm once a while. Yah, so numb until the hand had no feeling and just flopped down. She seemed ok when i tried her on the stokke stroller a couple of days back maybe coz she's higher up and nearer to me. Should i just continue carrying her? Also scared later buy liao she doesn't want anymore...

april, weishy,
thanks for the info on daiso......
does teething cause fever and sorethroat?
my boy is having mild fever 37.3++ to 37.5++
boy was cranky cos he was also coughing and doesn't wanna drink his milk...
i did a check on his gums and i spot a white tip(very very small) one on my boy's lower gum...
asked the granny and hb to see...and guess their eyesight not sharp...both told me can't see...
after i see that "tip" on his gum and applied the dentinox teething gel...guess it helps and he begin to drink his milk(latching)

Next sengkang/punggol gathering
Not sure if it's gonna be another weekday cos most of the mummies are working .. but if we do have our next one, maybe we can venture a little further to Hougang Mall!
Cannot come to punggol cos punggol is still a pathetic village, only got 1 neighbourhood shopping ctr

Pris-ya was thinking of that too.hee I always hv my tape n extra bag in case I need to chk in something
ASus-oki will go look see.buy in twn cheaper right?maybe but for sure HK is cheaper than sin le
Jul-think u can go with ur hubby together hehehehheh will be a great experience
Reira-think u did enough for a day la.swim/walk/flash cards.
Flash cards usually 30 or less start with a few first n u will be surprised when he's about 8/9 months he can pt out to u Liao though he can't talk yet.
LNT is like shicida their lessons maybe 3 times a week or once weekly I think.
Example-mon-English ,wed-mandarin ,fri-Japanese
Whether they can absorb n learn from it....yet to hv good feedbacks.parents plays an impt part of practising with them at home
Swimming-for me I would ensure
1)not nap time
2)noon time cos of the afternoon sun warm up e water abit
3)after feeding but nt so full can always continue e milk feed after they swim

why do u want to change to a bugaboo? maclaren is good too.
Besides stokke, anyone knows which other stroller's seat can be higher up.

Mashy,
I'm not happy that maclaren cannot be backward facing... My boy will fuss if he dont see any familiar faces around him.
my boy is quite used to the stroller now. initially he will scream, but after I hang a humpty dumpty toy for him to see, he's ok le.

good for u. My gal still refused to sit on the stroller. At most 5mins.
I gave up and gave away the lucky bb stroller to salvation army. Now just using the maclaren stroller for my boy.
very soon your boy will want to face forward, so don't worry. Coz the outside world is more interesting... hehehe.
