Thank you mommies for sharing your schedules. Hopefully, I can set him into a good routine soon. I guess it's also me, not used to having routine at home.
We were getting it at one time. Then came his cough, and he woke wee hours, and everything got upsetted. Now, I'm trying to tune it back, but it's so difficult. Like just now, finally managed to sleep at 11, woke at 11.30pm, until now. Finally koala to Dad, so I can continue here. Tomorrow, he'll probably be up late again, and the vicious cycle continues.

Jul - Can add me to view your blog?
kiki - Yep, have mentioned before during a playdate. Her bad habit of sleeping late is coming back. Here is her schedule:
8.00am - Milk Feed(she is still sleeping)
9.30~10.00am - Wake up
10.30am - Breakfast
11.00am-12pm - Free play + Milk
12pm - Bathe
12.30pm - Lunch
2.00pm - Afternoon nap (it can vary from 30mins till 3hrs). Even with only a 30mins nap during the day, she still wouldn't feel sleepy at 10pm.
3.30pm - Milk
5.30pm - Dinner
6.00pm till 10.00pm - Free play
10.00pm - I will clean her up and get ready to put her to bed. If she is good, she would fall asleep by 10.45pm else there are a couple occasions whereby, i can be inside the room with her for 1.5hrs trying to make her sleep. I make her sleep by putting her next to me while we both lie in bed, lights are off, I'll keep quiet and will tap/hum to her. If by 11.30pm, i still can't get her to sleep, will ask hubby to take over. But the way he makes her sleep is by playing youtube videos for her to see till she knock out herself. I told him before that playing videos would stimulate her brain but he said its ok, she still sleeps after that like 12ish am. sigh.

But by the time I put z to bed and finally has time to shower etc it's alr v late and sometimes I wanna do my own stuff so ended up sleeping so late.. If z managed to sleep at 10+ every day I will surely be able to sleep earlier if I'm not doing any major hsework like mopping etc. If I go to bed w him I think I just can't get up earlier leh!! I'm just very very tired

Sigh! If z fatten a little up and eat more, I will b happier. So sian to hear all the people saying z never eat ah? Ur mum everyday sleep at hm nv feed u is it? Is e mother nv eat much nt the son lor. Hw tired the mom is also will cook for the son! Trying my best to ignore all these and pretend nv hear but very hard leh.. I'm not deaf..

from what I see, most babies taking enfa.
Bernice
try to tuck S into bed earlier. Ian used to sleep by 9pm then the weekend I was away in BKK, papa and grandparents let him sleep at 11pm at night. When I got back, I slowly shift bedtime earlier half hr a day. Like u, I have to pretend to sleep while he jump and play in his bed. Make the room dark and quiet. If everyday S sleeps 15min earlier, it's an improvement. Jia you.

you may want to wake her up at 7am regularly and shift your entire schedule forward. then at night. you shift her bedtime 30 mins forward every few days until like 7pm. then she will slowly adjust to the new schedule.

the most important thing is that Z doesn't fall ill. Fat or thin, it really doesn't matter if he's healthy. If i were you, i will tell those ppl who make small talk to **** off (in a polite tone of course)
actually it's a vicious cycle. you just have to slowly adjust his timing forward. Like move his schedule 30 mins every 2-3 days until desired timing. And you should also have to do that for your own schedule. Or else it wouldn't help at all. and yes it's all accumulated. You have to take care of yourself first before you can take care of Z. If you tired yourself out so much that you fall ill, then who can take care of him for you.
It's ok to compromise a little. It's impossible to be a super mom.

Yep, only 6. Yes, he eats rice, with steam fish "gravy", soups, steamegg, etc, over it. He has been having rice for sometime already. He also eats apple (slice thinly), cucumber, steamed carrot. Yeah, a few days ago I was also wondering when he can eat Ling's kind of food. I wanna make fried meatballs, stew, curry etc. Things that I like to eat myself.
Actually, I read that food texture is linked to speech development. Can YH say a few words already?
Also, may be good to intro textured food slowly, or they may reject solids even when they have teeth.

No, fever from the 5-in-1 booster. His MMR got defered to next week. I think will surely kena fever also.
SO tired, whole of last night, he was whining and whining, although there was only very very slight fever. But yay, he recovered without any medication, and thankfully only one day!

maybe you can try not to dreamfeed her in the mornings. make sure she wakes up totally before u give her the milk. that way, she won't continue to sleep till 10am. she co-sleeps with you guys on the same bed is it? oh dear...watching videos before bedtime is really not good at all. yes, over stimulate the brain! maybe you can try to gather some articles for him to read to 'educate' him so he will understand it better and not think that its ok! hehe... try the soft music lah...it really does soothe the baby to sleep. no harm trying rite?
potbelly
GUG was good but i wanted to try shichida, so dropped GUG and switch to once a wk shichida instead of twice a wk GUG. i felt a bit tired having to ferry her twice weekly to GUG so thats why stopped. she will be attending a 2 hrly daily playgroup next mth on also, walking distance fr my home. i really hope that works out!
joli
yeah, i feed my girl first then we take dinner later. hard to eat together coz she needs to watch TV then she willing to eat! bad habit!!

Try your best to establish a routine that'll best suit your lifestyle. What works for someone may be too early for you, or your tod sleeps less hrs per day, or your own hours need some tweaking.
That said, sam was a day-nite reversed baby! I nearly died from exhaustion the first 3 months coz he wouldn't sleep till 3/4 am! But slowly i tried to adjust.. bit by bit, like 15min or half an hr. Wake him earlier, start quiet time earlier... By 12 weeks, he finally slept by midnight. he adopted the so-called good sleeping habits soon afterwards of waking early, sleeping relatively early. My only prib is that i'm a night person myself! What a sacrifice haha
POTBELLY
i begged the guard then the ticket checkers then the audiophone people n got to stare at nefertiti for 10min. I was fighting my way in thru the exiting crowd coz the museum was closing! Btw nefertiti's the bust right?
JOLI
Petite genes could be from your parents or ILs. I'm aws paranoid that sam'll be short coz MIL n SIL are short!

Princessxiaomei,
My boy also very small size - ht & wt all below 10%. I really don't know how to let him gain more weight as he is eating well. One factor could be my boy is very active.. Many people tells me it's okay, he will eventually grow but sometimes just can't help worrying.. His wt & ht stagnant since 15 mths.

Hello mummies..
very long never post here, sometimes reading on & off.
Saw the schedules that mummies shared... realised that your toddlers are napping once a day.
My boy still nap twice a day mostly and he sleep at 10pm usually, later if on wkends.
6am+/ 7am+ wake up + milk
after that is free play (sometimes he may ZZZ after milk)
9am-930am breakfast
10am-1030am bath
1030am-1100am nap for 1 hr to 2hrs
1230pm lunch
after lunch is free play
4pm milk + nap for 1-2hrs
6-630pm quick bath (sometimes skip)
700 or 730pm dinner
after dinner is free play
10pm wipe down + milk and sleep
sometimes wkends he only nap once if i bring him out for groceries shopping in morning or we go out on wkends.
sometimes wish he may sleep earlier at nite but bad mummy here most of the times work v late and reached home abt 10pm or so... want to see & play with him abit before he Zzzz.. so haven't change his bedtime yet.
Kaira,
my boy also v small size.. one way to gain weight is to feed him Pediasure, switch his nite feed to Pediasure. That's what my PD told us, i haven't let him try yet. One of my colleagues tried and she told me it works, ie put on weight as her girl is v small size also.
Same like you, i also worried at times.. and he's v active too. Recently he has been drinking lesser milk.. dunno what happened. Still observing...

Re-Hi everyone!!
Been so busy am going crazy. Am very mad with my helper for lying to me. Reached home early to find the house empty. Called her hp she say feeding my girl downstairs. Brought the dog down, she got a shock while chatting with another maid and listening to music while my girl was playing at the "bench". No food. She lied saying she just brought the bowl up and came down. Scolded her for being negligent. Came up to see the bowl's content already dried up so can't happen within 1hour. Reprimanded her for lie after lie. Very upset. Hint her I miss my girl very much, been missing her milestones. (intend to install cctv)
Told my mum and hub at night. Mum say got ppl tell her my helper was back facing my girl chatting on the phone and my girl was running around in the playground. Got super upset I warned her next morning, if she's too busy to look after my girl, I will look for someone else to help me.
Today she cook bee hoon soup for my girl. Contents only cabbage and carrot. Went to fridge and find mince pork. Mum say we bought a lot but she never cook. Told her she don't eat doesn't mean my girl cannot eat (she can handle pork but don't eat). Found 4packs of mince pork mum bought. 1 dated in 10/10, 1 dated in 01/11, 2 in 03/11. Showed it to her. %&*(&$#@!$&*( SO DAMN MAD at her.
Anyone installed CCTV? Am still scouting around with a tight budget. hmmm..
Welcome gummymummy! Yeah you're in the right thread!
crayon stones: Anyone wanna share? Interested to get but get 2 sets cheaper. Hehe
Nap time: My girl still having 1 nap/day, about 2-3hours after she wake up. When she was down with fever and running nose last week, she could nap 2-3times a day, due to discomfort of the block nose. Can't really keep track of her feeding schedule as I did not ask helper to take note. My mum will occasionally butt in and ask helper to feed my girl more. My girl's SO SKINNY! T_T

Hi gina, sorry to hear those things abt ur maid. Before I got my maid, my cousin told me setting the right tone and expectation from the start is v important. Otherwise they will try their luck with all sorts of tricks. I am guessing that you n your mum probably don't have time to monitor her....... Minced pork from October is so unacceptable, if I were u I would also blow my top. I think u should really install the CCTV asap, and let her know u r watching her (vs saying u miss your girl?)
What is crayon stones? Sorry I didn't follow.
Btw mummies, what is the acceptable weight at 18 months for our babies? My girl doesn't like to drink milk other than in morning and before Bedtime. She walks abt around the house a lot so also quite skinny. But I see she's happy so I'm not too bothered. Feeding her can be a chore these days, she refuses to eat unless there's tv / distractions.
Did anyone join positive tots? Any feedback? My girl is in a very bad tempered stage now, whining / crying / throwing things when she doesnt get her way. http://www.positivefocus.com.sg/
Also would like to ask mummies if anyone has any recommendation for preschools near farrer road, bukit timah, holland area? I guess I must be the only few who has not registered her for preschool
hopefully can still get a slot!

Hi Gina...understand the frustration you had with your helper now. My daughter is also taken care by my maid since she was 6 months old. Time flies, my maid has been taken care by her for the past one year. And we had nobody at home to help supervise her except for the CCTV. I had the cctv installed just before my maid arrived, and we made it clear to her that there are cameras installed at home. Main reason is for child safety. Till today, i still facing some minor problems with may maid, of courese, i try to keep the relationship "good", nobody is perfect anyway. perhaps you should have a good talk with her now, and let her know your expectation well.

Welcome back!
Do you wanna try delaying his na, then he'll take just one & sleep earlier in the night?
gummymummy
Hello *waves*
You can check the health booklet for the weight range for a gal. As long as she stays aroudn the same percentile, it shd be ok. Your PD didn't say anything abt her weight right?
Weight
It's so ironic. The mummies here are complaining that their tods are small. Mine is too big! He's not as large as others here, but it's very tiring to carry him. Plus he's sooo strong. When he struggles, I really don't have the strength to control him. And I'm not exactly petite myself, but still CMI!
Gina
Oh dear, I feel for you. In fact, I just sent my maid back to the agency yesterday. Honestly, if she isn't taking good care of Angelyne, change. Cut your losses.

Hi Jul
I think the tods are not stronger than us, just that when they struggle, we dont want to hurt them by resisting. Hahah. My girl can single-handedly topple a whole basin filled with water
My PD didnt say anything abt weight though she's been stagnant for a while. guess its ok la.

melissa, i think we probably have to start delaying our kiddos nap time in the morning and take an earlier nap in the afternoon. my girl always refuses to sleep until 10+ and thats also cos i come back late from work and allow her to muack around with me. hehe.
btw, ladies, this week is my last week at work. quite excited to have a break and spend more time with baby. last 1.5 years have been super duper tiring trying to juggle so many roles, in the end, all substandard. i am sure all working mums will understand what i mean.
Who are the SAHM here? Do you have play dates?

Unfortunately, mine is stronger than me. At 6 mths, he could sit on my lap, push against the dinner table with his legs & my chair will move backwards. That's how strong he is!
Since your PD didn't say anything, it shd be fine lah.

Your Shanis' waking & sleeping time is the same as Sam's.

welcome to sept mummies thread! yeah, we do have playdates on n off, do come join us sometime.

sorry to hear about your helper problems. thought you stay with your MIL, doesn't your MIL supervise and oversee what your helper does?
self-feeding
so motivated after watching amy's katey self feed that i tried to let kim self feed today for lunch. problem with self feeding for kimmy is that she NEVER ever finishes her food if i let her feed herself. she'd eat yes...abt half to 3/4 then after that she'd start playing with the food or throw it off the highchair so the dog can eat it! i'm just concern if i shd let her self-feed often coz not like she's very FAT and can afford to lose weight! when i feed her she finishes all her food. so just wondering...for mummies who are letting their tods self-feed, do they always finish everything? also, i notice that when she self feed its like super slow...the food all gets cold! is that ok huh? i scared later she gets wind in the tummy fr eating cold food. paranoid mummy here!

I havent let Cait try self feeding yet cos she is now not even willing to eat much with us feeding. Only when she has yogurt and puffs, she will happily self-feed (under supervision). I have seen other tods self feed very efficiently (especially angmoh kids), so envious!

ya lor, tot u staying with MIL? If this helper is no good, better to change another.. If u scold her too much, dunno what she'll do to Angie.
Teething again
ok maybe I shouldn't be complainng cos Ian has only 8 teeth so far and I know there r other mummies who got even crankier teething babies... But aiyo, what's wrong with him!!!! Play cards.. Cry, play puzzles, cry. Ball, cry. Eat, cry. Driving me crazy. I see swollen lower gum with some white, I wish these teeth will cut soon. Giving me a headache.

Thanks! Aiyah I can't dl software on office laptop, so I can only go home & do it. Argh!

Think Sam's teeth in front of the molars are coming out too. I see white bits almost ready to 'burst out'. Sam's kinda weird. He has a few teeth out at the same time. This boy doesn't do anything by halves

Another question on picnik & blogger :
After I edited & saved the photo on Picnik, I tried to download back to my hard disk. But I cannot seem to upload onto blogger. Keeps getting Server Rejecetd message. And when I open My Computer to check, the edited photo isn't in normal format. It can't be seen on thumbnail. Why???

haha, sometimes it might just be poor connection then.
as for collage, go to the LIBRARY tab, select MAKE A COLLAGE, then they have very simple step by step instructions for you to follow.
Have fun!
