Oh good! I was worried about my mental health, thought I am getting old and forgot to pack Lsntyl's package! LOL!
sharon (sharonk): Feed fish ???? Abit early right? They just want to try try issit ? But still to be so sneaky with the Japan egg thingy... I will go nuts if it is me !
wei (angnwei): Arwen do developed rashes when given certain food, I find kiwi the worst and think it is because it is quite sour so the acidic juice caused the rashes. I got a cream from her PD for these type of rashes, it is actually just a simple moisturer with no other ingredient, like aqueous cream which works for Arwen. I tried others but don't work. If she next time go for checkup maybe can ask for a cream for Esther too.
Firipy : I am sure you will enjoy being a SAHM! I love it altho I am not a 100% one. But everyday I get to see Arwen , it is a joy even though these days can be tiring cos she always want to play!
Routine ah? Let Ayden tell you and guide you. Arwen's routine is set by herself. Perhaps we just implement the 5 hourly milk feeds but when she wants to play, nap and sleep, she decide and she has her own routine, we just follow. I wish she would sleep at 9pm but no matter what we do, she sure zonk out by 7pm so bo pian, cannot go out at night and still have to feed her at 12 MN, these are the two things which is abit inconvenience as me and DH can't have date nights . Her nanny always volunteer to stay the night so we can go out but somehow me and DH don't mind yet not being able to go date nights. But I think I would do 2 date nights a month when we go back . I miss trying out new restaurants and also going for concerts!
Xin/Smalldream : Yap, Dr Sear is the best for me because he is so baby led. My inlaws got a playpen for Arwen, those foldable ones and they are of good intentions but I refuse to put Arwen in that because as per Dr Sear, it is not very conductive for baby and I can't go in the pen to be with her and she would be like a cage animal with toys. He advocate baby wearing alot and me and DH practice it as much as we can , we try not to use the stroller too much but carry her more. I love the book and it is my baby bible! It is pretty thick book so I just slowly read when I need to learn about her milestones.
cheerieheart (cheerieheart): Arwen started on FM at her3rd month and we started giving water then, she hates it to bit and until now still hates it, so I think it is not because you started late but babies are smart, they don't like plain stuff! What we do is when we steam the carrots/ apples/ pears, we retain the juice and mix with water, giving it a bit of sweet taste and then we give her, she accepts it better.
How is your LO bedtime routine? I noticed past these few weeks, Arwen plays alot more and she don't wake up at night but has this whining noise like abit of nightmare. So these days, I let her chill before she sleeps. I let her do nothing or just do what she wants 30 mins before 7pm. No singing, no reading , no chatting but let her be, to let her "decompress" . It helps abit. I use to do so much with her before bedtime, I sing, read, let her watch TV etc, I think she is overstimulated ! I feel it is a phrase, not much you can do. Or try a very warm bath , might help too.
When I need to thaw, I just take the frozen cube out and within 3 hours , thaw liao [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
