(2009/08) August 2009 MTBs

my baby tumbled down a flight of stairs today... i think my heart stopped for a while.

when i held her, i also wanted to cry.

feel real terrible.

but thank God for carpet.
 


hi fellow mummies... not sure if you have heard of www.peekaboo.com.sg Its free entry for bb up to 11 mths old... its a good place for gathering...kakakkaka...
Thinking of bringing my ger there tomolo noon... any mummies interested to go there?
 
sunsine, I have been teach Ray how to climb down stairs. He is very good in climbing up stairs and just need supervision getting down.
 
Pris, it was my fault. I should have watched her more closely since she was sitting quite near the edge of the stairs.

Yesterday I was just thinking that it's time to teach her how to go down the stairs, and tried, but she lost interest after 2 steps. She's quite good at going up though.

now waiting for husband to come home to tell him of the day's mishap... sigh...

btw i wonder when can all the mumies confirm their attendent i tink things like cupcake need to confirm in advance..
 
actually i didnt expect kids to learn climbing so fast leh..

i put a foldable mattress for Denson to learn standing w support then i saw him climb on it n stand.. gave mi a shock..
 
Pris
Shou teach them to get down the stairs from legs first right? Javier can climb up the stairs quite well but when getting down, he tends to put his hands down too.. very dangerous leh.. how u teach huh? been trying to turn him around when he wanted to get down but when i get his leg down, he climb out again..
 
Sunshine, it happens when we least expect it, just have to observe her for 48hours.

That's why I am teaching Ray to go down the stairs. He is super 1st going up the stairs now haahaa, been doing it for more than 2 months already.
 
baby ja, Ray if for a flight of stairs, he is able to use his legs down. If many flights of stairs, I taught him to sit on the stairs and push his butt down slowly.

Need to do it with him everything till he is able to do it on his own. He will wait for me when coming down the stairs coz we have told him, if he falls, he will knock head, pain pain.

went down to "with a pinch of salt" to check out the place. Quite cute!
can book the whole place for min spending of $800 for afternoon and $1200 for night.
They do buffet style for party.

I also check out brewbakers. they quote me $24++ per head. Min 35 pax. So about $1K.

I tried the food at both places... "wapos" is better than brewbakers.
Location: "wapos" is nearer to town but both also not near to MRT.

I'm just worried that if I tell the old relatives to go to "with a pinch of salt", they will be blur. I also dont know how to translate that. kekeke!
 
joYFUL,
my boi cannot put him standing he will climb away n stand elsewher n cruise ard...

Regg,
yup 4 sept..

SO ALL MUMMIES PLEASE TRY TO CONFIRM ASAP....
 
Michelle
my gal also dunno how to climb stairs coz we dun have it at home. ;) she knows how to climb from mattress to her kor kor's bed and down only. She also can't walk unsupported yet. So far can only stand unsupported for a while then off she goes again. She's been pushing her walker and furniture around. Not even interested to move from furniture to furniture.
 
hi thanks to all the kind mummies who replied...her last weigh was 8.1kg at around 10mths. Weight is increasing but like 100-200g in a mth? was advised by friends that milk is more important than solid b cos theres more nutrients in it. also asked the nurse at polyclinic, she told me 180ml x3 is too little...n was adivsed to reduce solid intake instead.

Now that u mummies replied, guess most kids at this stage are abt the same xcept michelle's boy ;) michelle its good ur boy eat so much... at least during teething, if he reduce intake, still have excess "reserve" to shed

also found shreds of carrot in my girl's poo.... does it means its not being digested?
 
Joann S,
180ml x 3 is too little??
to my understanding for our BB age now shall start focus on solid, no? if only take milk will not keep them full.
my boy is abt 10kg now 11 mos. he is taking 3 solid, 3 milk(200ml x 2,200-260ml x 1)
 
Joann, can't compare a boy to a girl. My boy eats alot even during teething. In between, I give water too when we are playing, reading time or when I drink water, he will drink too.

6.30am latch on
8.30am Breakfast - cheerios cereal with ebm/ bread with butter.cheesespread with water
10.30am latch on to sleep
12.30pm lunch - a bowl of porridge, noodle, paste or rice with dishes
3.30pm snack - rice rusks or biscuits with yogurt/fruits and water
4.30pm latch on nap
7pm dinner- a bowl of rice, pasta, noodle with dishes
9pm latch on
 
Michelle,
I guess climb stair is somehow similar to crawling so easier than stand? Cos they use leg n hand to climb mah

My mil house gt 2 stair but I dunno they got train anot sigh~

Joann s,
my boi also drink 3 x 180-210 per day also n he prefer solid than milk so usu I will add some milk to his cereal. Cos ur gal solid intake not alot better dun reduce anymore cos at this stage they need other nutrient also but u can consider replace 1 meal with cereal ?

I still feed my gal 2 time FM before her lunch/dinner cos oli tat she will take her nap else she refuse to sleep..tat's why i cut down the mrng feed..usually i give 180ml.

Joann S,
2 meal is not little my boi also take 2 meal but he take 1 adult rice bowl size for porridge. u mentioned ur gal 1 only 1/4? actually sumtime i find the advice given by nurse not pro 1.. some jus gave u advice base on her preference also...

Donkeymami,
my boi also he will stand for 5-6sec den squat down so cute la.. n yes he crawl v fast also sumtime will hop 1 step 1.. i am keen in the trial but tooo far~~
 
baby makan schedule:
6am FM (180-200ml)
9am FM
12noon porridge
3pm porridge
6pm FM
8pm FM
11pm FM

Is my baby taking too much milk? in between sometimes he take biscuits - do you consider this as solid? he is 10 months old now
 
hello...u all still latching hor...ur babies don't have tendency jsut wan to latch meh?

need advice, cos night time i try to give fomrula feed so that he cant sleep longer, but he seem to refuse each time during night time, land up only wants to latch. then he wakes up every 2hrs to find the breast to latch...i m so so tired, not enough sleep every single day...yesterday had dizzy spell liao.

MIL keep saying the bigger he gets, the more he knows how to choose, then will be very hard to wearn off the breast...so keep telling me not to latch anymore...i m worried..yet same time hard to not let him latch in middle of night, if can't find breasts ,he will wake up n not sleep or cry..then how?

AS for solids, think PD mention at 10M,can take 3x solid food liao..esp if bb dun like drink milk..or can add in milk to the solid food lor. i usual give 30-40ml FM when feeding solid food. MIL say easier to swallow the porridge or watever solid u giving. at 10M onwards weight increase not so much liao...so not to worry.
 
Would you all still be interested in phototaking for your baby ?
As promised, Ive arrange with my husband for our forum baby to take pic @ his studio, hope its in time for their one year old birthday !

Would weekday or weekend slot be preferable ?

However Im sorry that we are not able to have it foc this time round, ( the same for maternity ).
There would be a charge but ALL images taken would be given back at NO extra charges.

Wana find out how is the response before I go ahead to arrange the timing slot.
Let me know...
Thanks
 
dolce

Joann s

actually one of the key reason u should't reduce solid and give more milk is that it may give u headache next time. Some kids will prefer to drink milk than eat solids when they are older. Not something u wanna encourage c
 
kikilala> my boy worse la. will purposely support n stand up, den let go of support. before he let go, he smile, den fall backward n land on his head.. den he cry -_-"

mashy> haha. my parents place have stairs, but nv teach him how to climb. cos when he go my parents' place, he confined to his high chair to finish dinner, den rush hm liaos.

joann> my boy eat alot, but still very small size. my boy's feeding schedule:
6am: latch
830am: 150ml bm + cerael
11am: porridge 3/4bowl
1pm: 150ml bm
445pm: 170ml bm
7pm: porridge/cereal/puree/fruits 3/4bowl
9pm: latch
1am: 180ml bm

he was 7.7kg de last time i brought him to doc. but getting more chuby =p my boy hates water too. n he latches more during teething. cos he fussy, so i latch him to shut him up =x

piggytoh> oo. is use hands n legs to crawl one ah? aha. i tot as in really walk up de stairs. paiseh =x
 
mine's easiest.. like any other adult

8-9am - 210ml
12pm - lunch
230pm - 300pm - 210ml
6pm - dinner
930 - 10pm - 210ml

if she is awake in anytime in the afternoon, might squeeze in some teabreak... not rigid abt teabreak timings

naps.
on weekends.. and some weekdays.. she oso have onli 1 nap, like older kids
830am to 9am - wake up.
130 to 2pm - nap until 4pm (then feed her milk if she wakes up this time).
10pm + onwards sleep until next day.

give up trying to make her sleep in the morning... wastes energy.. makes me angry.. :p
 
Mine's roughly like smurfy's, just that i add on a 100ml milk after his solids cos was afraid his milk intake too little.

9am - 210ml milk
1pm - porridge
2pm - 100ml milk
5pm - porridge
6pm - 100ml milk
9pm - 210ml milk

kiki,
But brewbakers buffet food is not from their regular menu, so dunno if it'd turn out nicer or worse. Mine was quoted $23++, i guess they play around with the menu. Cos when i asked to change 1 of the item to prawns, the guy said have to add in additional $5 per pax.

dolce,
Would the returned pics be touched up?
 


kikilala
