Vic ma - correction. Went last week nov (Sg sch hols), not oct. memory getting worse these days.
I thought disneyland's always meant for kids. Haha. Good thing about HK Disney - nothing much to buy [IMG=http://singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] not like Tokyo.
Do stay on for the evening parade/fireworks. I think that's the best part for me.

i always think 3 weeks each day 3 scoup meal 3 feeds. (school twice home once).
21*3 = 63 feeds of 3 scoup enfagrow for 180ml water.
of course if the kid always takes a larger feed or smaller feed then the # total feeds changes.
I supposed everyone already past the stage 1.8lg cannot finish within one month liao ba

My friso 3, 1.8kg only last 12 days.. I'm so angry n suspicious if it was wasted or drink by someone..
The milk has been finishing faster n faster n I already nv feed him during midnight plus sch also nv make milk for them anymore, it should b a saving isn't it.
Morning two feeds before sch, before slp two feeds.. n only make 150ml or 180ml.

chips,
another way around is to give him 1 bottle instead of. each bottle instead of 180ml, maybe you make 270ml and it will come up to more than 300ml. in this case, you save a bit. slowly he will adjust his requirement. does he really need 2 feed in the morning and night?
yu ze drinks 270ml fm in the morning and 270ml fresh milk at night.
yu xi drinks 200ml fm in the morning, 200ml fm in cc and 200ml fresh milk at night.

its not a matter of FM finishing fast, your boy started offwith good appetite in the 1st place.
if you are complaining about FM i think food intake also right? he also eats other food in large quantity too right?
you might want the PD to do a review for u if you are over feeding him or not in the 1st place.
once you decrease all foods in general his appetite might be normalised too.
but if he is eating alot of fruits & veg i wont bother much as those are considered good.

vicma,
drink is good but sometimes finishes too fast and im not sure if its all drank by him.
he had full bowl of rice 2 times a day for weekend if he is at home. In sch, will be according to their menu.
whenever home, eg yesterday he finds himself food and sat down at a corner n eat on own. Ask him if he is hungry, he said yes.. this is only after dinner 1hr. He had his dinner which is not little..
previously I brought him to specialist for his limping leg cause by his sch fren, the doc said he is taller n bigger than his 'suppose to be' size for his age..
good to have him 快高长大.. but sometimes his intake is scary. his stomach become so hard that I have to massage for him.

but kids usually dont know hungry or not. if they happen to like to eat & u ask hungry - they sure will say yes so that they can eat again.
you have to decide as the mom lor what's best.
My girl also wants to eat all the time 30 mins - 2 hrs after a meal she can eat nearly = to 1 meal again & is putting on abit too much weight. I feel as a parent they want to eat let them eat ba cos its a soft hearted thing lor. but this recent expansion is truthfully not fun. Clothes i have to buy often as she grows out of them so soon or i have to buy 4-6 yrs older clothes & sometimes the skirt fit but the blouse too baggy she look so ODD.
its a $$, discipline, health issue too for this eating area. (i myself try not to snack at night le cos once i eat - the kids also want to eat, didi i dont mind cos he under weight but jie jie who will bager for the lion's share is only getting fatter & fatter.
i grew up a fat kid i know the pain. i hope she doesnt have to go thru that.
your boy not fat just big sized thankfully. but u ask around opinion - mine is maybe the food intake all together needs to control abit. eat until tummy hard is not a common problem lor.

chips,
i agree, kids don't really know he is hungry or not. mine can just finished dinner and tell me they are hungry cos they wants to eat the snacks.
i will restrict them on what they eat in cases like this. sometimes, its just more of a habit and not real hungry. its like us adults, if we are used to having supper and suddenly stop having supper, we will be miserable and hungry. however, after some time, we get used to it and we can do without the supper.

fox is also very irritating hor?
under 3 yrs old the clothes one price range - over 3 another price range. NO sale same $60 budget for eg can buy only 3 items. (1 is sale tee)
got sale like 15% more if u buy more than 5 pcs last yr from OG, $60 got me around 5-6 pcs lor.
i not even talking about pretty dresses or clothes to go out. normal home clothes, tees to wear after bathing in school & shorts also have to replenish from time to time.
I have this evil plan to make jie jie wear more unisex shorts so that i can recycle. Tees as well new wear go out, old wear at home comfy.
i just cleared the kids wardrobe & took out 3 big bags of old clothes in the last 4 months. 1 big bag = 3 ntuc plastic bags worth. that's how much of "cannot wear liao must give or throw" stash.
i am feeling abit overwhelmed this yr. all the logistics, jie jie spelling & pushing her to read more. didi becoming more notti. i dont even do much housework & i am feeling stressed le.
i really kudos to those who dont stay with inlaws & have to do housework & cook & all.

chips,
in this case, he is much bigger then yu ze. yu ze is still wearing his 2t tops, 4t tops are very loose for him. shorts are still 2t, home shorts are those baby wear at home type.
vic ma,
yu xi is much bigger size compare to yu ze. she is wear 3t or 4t size now. i also tend to buy bigger size so she can wear longer.
i dare not think when i have to start more 'work' for yu ze. about 2/3 weeks ago, i started a new routine for them. off tv at 8pm, keep all the toys before they can go to bed and read story books.
last weekends, i added a 5 mins violin practice time for yu ze. keep toys, practice violin and read books. if anything before the reading is not done, then off to bed direct and no more reading. i'm glad, reading book is a very good attraction for them. they don't want to forgo it and willing to do whatever is required.
on some days, i will trade practising violin with berries homework. i thinking of slowly extending the 'homework' time to 20 mins and ultimately 30 mins. i can't decide if i should start my routine earlier or stick to 8 and let them sleep later. at the same time, all these are planned for yu ze. yu xi will most likely want to do the same thing as gor gor. in this case, she is having starting all these way in advanced.

chips,
i'm not sure what is good to snack. whatever snack i have, i only limit them to eat one a day. no second pc or pack.
eg. wang wang biscuit, 1 small pack only. chocolate, 1 pc only. ice cream, mini coneto. yogurt, 1 small cup.
on weekends, if they already eat ice cream after lunch, no more ice cream after dinner. so its strictly 1 pc/pack per item. even potato chip, its only 1 pcs from the big pack, not whole pack.

hello mummies!
woohooo...today talk abt yum yum food!~!~!
Chips,
Pockey & tibits..go slow...my boy gets only 2 sticks once a day if he asks for it..dried fruit sounds like not bad but once in a super blue moon for my boy ...i dun wana encourage the habit of snacking in btw meals myself.
Hot-dogs / Ham aka processed food
oh well ...there will always be people who take a divided stand on this ..At the end of the day, it boils down to what we can provide smartly within our means ..rather than a hot-dog sausage, maybe we can cook chicken / pork with simple condiments etc aka fresh food lah.
I so love my cocoktail sausages & ham but for the sake of good health, what is there to stop us from making healthier food choices if we can?

Hi mommies,
Haven't posted for awhile. In the blink of an eye our darlings are going to be 3 years old soon. Now planning my gal's cc birthday goodies bags. Not sure what to put inside if I don't put chocolates/sweets/biscuits. Decided to give stationary and sticker sets.

Hi Mummies! Finally have some time to pop in. Hubby was away in Bangkok and the kids chose to come down with stomach flu (E1) and the flu (E2) at the same time. Grrr... thankfully it's not too serious. Can't wait for them both to be well again.
Celyn: It's great that you are starting the kids on a routine. For a while we did Shichida home practice with E1 every night before bed and bed time reading. But since E2 came along, we have had to put them to bed separately, at different times etc so we have not been able to do daily Shichida training sessions. Must get our act together and start again. Thankfully we have managed to continue her bed time reading.

Hello mummies!
Been so long since I added some post here haha..
Was reading chip's and Vic ma's post on food intake. Sometimes really envy kids who are not fussy with food. My J, though not classified as fussy by my mum but classified VERY fussy by the MIL. She commented that he is not eating meat so he is fussy [IMG=http://singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] I've tried ways to get him to try meat but he simply refused. The only meat he takes are fishes, hotdogs and nuggets only. Sigh... It's so stress going back to TW now cause I don't get appreciated for being a mum, in fact I get penalized because my boy is fussy! They deemed me a fussy eater because my son is fussy. Grrrr.....
Now I just hope that #2 will be a big eater and eats everything and hope that she is chubby chubby lor. If not my stress level gonna get double again! o.0

Thanks Ruru and Celyn!
Yeah, I kept telling them EVERY CHILD IS DIFFERENT but to the MIL, they simply loves to compare. Hub's cousin's son in TW is 7 months old and weigh a whopping 10kg, really enormous in size and MIL kept praising how great the mum is etc etc. She's like telling me I'm not a good mum because my J is not fat and chubby. She felt that me being not overweight is the cause because I am not eating enough to provide the sufficient nutrients in the BM for J when we were on total breastfeeding. Even if I explained that I eat 8 regular meals a day doesn't suffice and the hub helps to prove. That's the main reason why I sometimes get really upset over my MIL.
They are really contradicting. She complaint that hub's cousins are too overweight and no one helps to control their diet when they were young etc but on the other hand, she wants us to make J overweight. I was like.. it's easy to put on weight rather than losing weight. As long my child is healthy, I'm happy. Sometimes don't know how to stop her from adding more comments. No wonder my BIL doesnt like to stay at home lol!
