Hi XLH and Juye,
Thanks so much for putting my Skirt BP#3 link here!!
Hi Juye,
I always have meltdown with my HB. My gal is now 10+mths, and I think i had 3 major meltdowns with him. He just don't listen, so recently I had a VOLCANO-level meltdown and now he is slightly better. Haiz.... Sometimes after a good cry, we will feel better.

Pacifier better than sucking fingers lor. My boy loves to suck his fingers when he is hungry.. suck until now u can see a small gap between the third and second finger [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] (cause he sucks 2 fingers at a time). I gave him pacifier but he dont like it!

just borrow fm library and read it la...
beforehand i used to think our parents' generation got it all wrong, why force bb to do smthing that is not natural, plus i m naturally lazy, so the western way of waiting till 2-3yo to toilet train sounded so appealing.
but now ever since i started the process of toilet training C1 last nov w/o any success.... to the extent my stubborn toddler is in a battle of wills with me now.
i think there is smthing in the old wisdom of bringing them to the toilet 10-20mins after a feed to sssshhh sshhhh and ngmmmmmm ngmmmmm at them. just to establish a pattern.
C2 now sits happily on the padded toilet cover (bought fm toysrus). the book also says dun stress over toilet training, she calls it "elimination control" EC for short. the EC mindset is to catch as many pees and poos as possible, to "listen" to what bb is telling us. sometimes so bz that we forget to listen. i do wat i can as a FTWM who is away fm C2 most of the day. over weekends after his morning feed and evening feed, i will put him on the toilet.
rurucat,
same same. only after volcano level meltdown then Mr C realises he has to be part of the solution, not part of the pbm.
the most recent ridiculous eg is showing me black face when he opened the dinner dishes one evening last week. says why are we having the same thing 3 days in a row. well darling, i just ran out of ideas, i have a lot of things on my mind, you know. i diam diam at the table bcz i din want to yell at him in front of the boys. later i ROAR-ed!!!!

i just wake up from nap. whole body ache and feel like puking. didn't even have lunch.
gbh,
my boy who is coming 3 years old and is still sucking pacifier loh. he only suck when sleeping and when he is upset/crying. i got no intention to stop him yet but trying to cut down the time he is on it.
since baby time, i always pull his hand out if he suck fingers. after many times, he stop doing that and no longer put it in his mouth. but it also means that he doesn't know how to self feed. he don't know how to hold a teething biscuit and eat on his own. i must feed him everytime. he only know how to put pacifier in his mouth, food and other things must do for him.
cellow,
my boy is also not toilet trained leh. i think he doesn't want too. we let him goes without diaper for a few days and he end up peeing on himself. since then he will say he wants petpet or elephant (pampers). i ask him if he wants to go toilet ngng, he say don't want go toilet ngng.

[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] i know that feeling. having been evicted fm the library w a noisy C1 during my maternity leave. be thick skinned and bring her in anyway!
else go to pl.sg and reserve the book. all you have to do then is pay $1.55 at the e kiosk and go to the counter to pick up the book. easy peasy for busy mamas and you zip in and out within 10mins!

celynlee,
my gal not exactly very reliant on pacifier, i only try to give her when she is sleepy or cranky but with nothing in her mouth means she will put other things in lor... when she is sucking pacifier, she will usually just play with the object and usually wont put tt item into her mouth... so im having a headache trying to strike a balance btw keeping her off the pacifier as much as possible as well as making sure she dun put anything else into her mouth...

SG_SC,
Wish mimi will be ok. Understand how you feel.. last wk my baby also fell from the platform bed and hit her left forehead. I was there just never thought it will happen so fast guess she is sleepy. A big bump which I've never seen appeared immediately. I applied some aloe vera gel on it and the next day the bump disappeared. Now everyday I apply the gel a few times and the bruises are gone just left a dented mark on the muscle I think will go away in times.
Baby Biting: Now biting everything except pacifier. Favourite toy is remote control which I don't want to give. Their bites sure painful full force with 4 front teeth. Better avoid their teeth. Damage already done on my arm.

Hi GBH,
I give my gal teething biscuits. She doesn't eat alot of it, just grind and grind the biscuits and the crumbs are all over the baby seat/baby pram/bib/hair etc. This technique I use only when outside.
As for at home, I give her teething toys.
Hi Cellow,
Wah, if HB dares to say about dinner, he will DIE!!!!! But his solution is very simple, he just say nicely that we all go out and eat something different. I will give in if gal takes a late nap so can tahan until 8+pm.

which model of brother do you have?
the fabrics are so pretty right? exp cos they are so-called designer fabric. Can also buy from overseas fabric stores but the shipping may be very ex. This local online shop quite reasonably priced and service is good. See already so tempted to create something for bb syz.
Library books on childcare...such books usually at the children's section. Tend to have a bit of noise there so not very obvious if you bring your lil trumpet along. Alternative is to reserve the book and pay the fee online then just pop in to collect. Can also send your hb to collect for you.
Toilet training:
try bringing bb to pee withing 5 mins of waking up from their nap. good chance of success [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

I'm using Jorubi Aloe Vera gel, the uncle at organic shop told me it is good.. can even heal diabetic leg abrasions.. It soothes and promotes healing to bruises etc. Sometimes my finger pain I apply some will feel better. What oilment your mum bought? Now in living room I got a play yard with bumper playmat for my gal to play in so I can have peace of mind to leave her alone for awhile.

kite,
if you are using chest freezer to store your fbm, you can still use those dated on sept.
the photo return in soft copies are high resol one. no coffee album and no make up.
its just a sample photoshoot as stated. prepare a few set of clothes and some of your baby favourite toys. they do have props too. parents can bring another set of clothes to change. how many photos you can take within that 1 hour depends greatly on your baby's mood that day. so best is to choose a timing that usually baby is most happy. if i didn't remember wrongly, i took about 120+ photo for #1 then.

My girl has nvr used a pacifier but nothing is ever safe from her mouth so I cleared everything in her path except her toys but she occasionally can grab the tissue box n when I dun notice I will c her trying to include some pulp fibre in her diet ~_~ she has a knack of zooming for things she shouldn't take/eat
Realised most bbs here like to go for remote controls too! My remote controls are not spared as well... V tech savvy for their age!
