Hope, super tired from gymboree! Sx fell asleep the moment his ass was on his car seat! My house is so near, my hubby sat behind and tried to tickle him and play to keep him awake for the 5 min journey home but it didn't work, sx was flat out. Reached home, had to spend 15 mins to wake him for his shower and milk. Abbott advised me to mix stage 2 & 3 so I did that - first week 2 scoops old, 1 scoop new, then second week 2 scoops new, 1 scoop old, then by third week can be purely new milk. My scoops are based on 180ml feed.
Sx hasn't used bath tub for abt 3 months le, since he can stand holding onto a wooden stool or the walls or sit on the shower floor, and I use the shower head to bathe him. When I pat his bum, he will know to stand up so I can wash his bum.

how to 'teach' our darling to land safely huh? i tried to teach my ger by turning her bum to the edge but she will just crawl forward. i try to pull her legs to the edge down, she will struggle.
so the safest place for me to place her will be on the floor which is only for few secs cos my place has staircase and she knows how to crawl up only.
recently she is attempting to walk up the stairs instead of crawl up but she is not even attempting to walk unassisted on flat floor.
my girl also cannot put on high chair unmonitored cos she will stand on it.
hope, i agree to zoie. maybe try to increase the food and milk intake during the day for jojo to stretch his sleep at night. i read that it might help to bring him to bed slightly earlier than usual, can make him sleep better at night. which i believe is true cos those babies that sleeps thru the night tends to sleep early also?

sparkle, i tink need to pump left side abit if not will get stuck? just pump abit to relief but dont empty..
i taught little R by telling him "backside down first" every time he nears the edge of bed, then just hands to turn his body and guide him down.. after some time, when i say backside down first he'll turn his body and glide down the way i taught him.. but if never say those words, sometimes he still chiong head first wana get down from bed.. need to remind him then he'll turn and do it the right way.. but someitmes even if he's doing it the correct way, he too gan chiong and would have fallen if no one was there to support him.. so i still dun dare to let him come down alone..

Hi mummies
I got my white 64G wifi + 3G ipad2 today, yeah!! For those mummies who are interested to buy ipad2, ordered online is the best option I think (at least for now cos it is still v new) and in demand). I went to the pc fair, epi center, telco etc to look for ipad2, all OSS and cannot even place order with them !!! Order online abt one week ago and delivery is super fast. The best thing is, they hv not deducted the money fr our credit card yet, think Apple is damn rich, hahaha.

bb getting off bed
Sad to say, I think the only way for our babies to really learn to get off the bed safely is to fall off at least once. Everytimg my boy goes to the edge, I will tell him to be careful and to turn around. Sometimes he listened, sometimes he didn't. Usually someone is there to correct him if he did not do it himself. Until one day,can't remember why, but my mum was distracted, I think, and by the time she caught him, he 'kok' his head a little. Not serious, just a red patch, but enough to give him a scare. Now, he will always turn around when he gets to the edge.
highchair
sparkle, high-five! My boy also! The first time it happened, I was in the kitchen getting another spoon for his water while feeding him lunch. I heard him complain, so I turned around, and he was halfway across the table! Now I must remember to harness him in at all times, if I forget, halfway through the meal, he will stand up and want to crawl on the table. If ur highchair does not come with a harness, go buy a cheap one.

Hope, yes I can tell sx was getting wild wilder wildest as he roamed gymboree but I agreed to my hubby that I'll listen to his opinion when it comes to classes, but I don't need to listen when buying things! Haha! Did you see sx swipe the teacher's face? I was so embarrassed. He's more bratty than jojo by a thousand times.
Staccato seems to be quiet without much students hor? I thought the teacher could have easily gone to the next room to fetch extra piano but perhaps she was lazy. At the start of the class the teacher seemed more enthusiastic but as she realized we were not going to restrict our kids and let them roam around freely, she kind of sian, I felt la. It was like no proper audience from the kids so she just anyhow whack. Kindermusik trial was alot better but to be fair, using my boy as example, during kindermusik trial he couldn't crawl yet so he had to sit on my lap obediently. Now if he goes kindermusik trial again, maybe he'll be all over the place like how he behaved at gymboree.
Hope, I think I will pester NY kindy again. The admin said I must find evidence of having been a student there but I said it's way back in 1979 leh! My parents can't remember if I even had a graduation ceremony from kindy!! And the kindy doesn't have the record themselves and they expect us to have. Admin lady said just produce a photo of yourself in the kindy uniform, I told her that is even more impossible. Looking for a needle in a haystack! Anyway they only take in 96 kids per year, and so far only children who already has siblings currently or in the near past in the kindy got a place. They are category 1 and 2. Cat 3 is parents who used to be students. Some of cat 2 and all of cat 3 are on wait list and if I join, I am 189. They told me to forget the trouble and save my $100. Can you check for me pls - to sign up for alumni, is the registration office inside the primary school? Thanks.

hope, what do they do at staccato?
i am pro-kindermusik so are u sure u wanna hear my biased views? they do music and movement, lotsa exploration with musical instruments and sensory objects, uses various stuff to create different sensory experiences, teaches literature thru music, rhythm and beats. I find that besides these, the kids also learn to observe the teacher, follow instructions, pack stuff, wait and share instruments. For J, i find that he appreciates music much more now. Once there is music playing, he will start clapping (which he never did prior to kindermusik), or if he is at home, reach for his rhythm sticks/shaker eggs and move to the beat. The last few times, he was able to hit the correct beat when asked by the teacher..(or maybe he heng??)
Interestingly, J's fav book (out of the mountain of books that the mummy has bought for him) is the one in kindermusik's home kit.
I personally find that cannot do one term and expect results. if you are really in for this sorta program, gotta do a few terms. The teacher also commented that for some, she saw the results when the child moved on to toddler class.

Oh my, what a lot of things happening at the same time. Glad the issue with your hubby has been resolved. Yah, men and their egos. Must factor that in.
How's Jojo and your dog getting along?
BTW, you're not alone. My boy is not sleeping thru the night either. But I still bf, and he co-sleep with us, so if he wake up, I just turn over, so I dun feel it so bad yet. I am hoping to get him to sleep thru b4 I wean him. Fingers crossed.
Jojo,

Shichida,

same same im also aiming the toy scooter from huggies.
Zoie i agree that kindermusik is very fun. my gal did 2 terms with them last time. But this time cos of logistical issue i cant schedule kindermusik class into my schedule with no 1's classes. Thats why after asking you about the class i didnt get around asking about the class timing.

Baby Jumper Gym,
I asked for a trial lesson last month but it was a saturday, when I am occupied with the older kids' activities and so I did not go.
Duration of the trial is an hour, and fee is $43 which will be waived if I sign up on the spot after the trial.
I am not so keen on weekend classes, prefer weekday classes, esp morning when my older kids are in sch. I am now considering Leap Schoolhouse at city square mall. I went to look at their environment, quite spacious and clean cos it is a new office..the staff are more friendly than those I met at GUG. Currently they have M,W classes..will be opening up T, Th classes if there is demand. Trial fee is $50 for 1.5hr, and will be waived if I sign up after the trial. I am planning to take up a trial after my boy is done with his 3rd jab..supposed to take last week but his daddy wanna come along so gotta delay until next week when he is back in SG.

Peck, borrow our swim trainers! The organizer also bringing a few for loan in case. If you got problem bringing kids with no car then just bring 1 kid.
Brambles, first time I fed my boy egg yolk, he vomitted alot. Almost the whole bowl of porridge. Second time I tried, his body got hundreds of small rashes. So I brought him to pd to test and the doctor confirmed the allergy. Maybe you can bring your boy to test to ease your mind - If he's allergic then u know not to feed him till he is older, if not allergic then it's good news
Hope, it's ok la, my maid is quite fond of jojo. I asked her if she knew your maid left, she claimed she didn't know.

My nephew (18mth) is with Leap Schoolhouse and according to my sis, this is what they did
- gym play (there is a separate room for an indoor gym)
- singing/dancing
- story telling
- games including puzzle/stacking/sorting
- flashcards
And activities are based on weekly theme eg this week is transport, then all stories/songs/games will be associated with transport.
PArents need to sit in together with the child.

ty... thanks! her face broke out in rashes after just a few mouthfuls of it. sounds like an allergy reaction, right?
i'll try to feed her again just once more to be sure. so sad for her if it's a confirmed allergy... boohoo! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] fortunately, i read on the internet that most kids outgrow this allergy by the time they're 5
