irene: dunno leh...also depends on every kid's development...how heavy is your bb now? i dun really do tummy time with my bb...but she can hold her head steady liao when carry...so hopefully when she learns to flip she can hold her head high already so that i won't have to worry too much about her face down...hehe.....the strange thing about my gal is since a month ago she has tried lifting her shoulders occasionally but she dun do it everyday...tink she is lazy and enjoy lying flat...hahaha...

Regarding baby weaning, wat r the items to buy apart from spoon, bowl n drinking cup?
Blender? Steamer? Wat brand?
Saw the pigeon porridge steamer that we can put inside our rice cooker while cooking our rice. Is this useful?
There's also food cubes to freeze the homemade purees. Why do so when fresh one can be done daily?
Going to get some of this stuff since many baby fairs are ongoing.

Hi gals, need to check w u all... I m gg back to work tomorrow and will b expressing my bm in e office. Can I check, if I store e bm in e fridge to go, can I put e bm into e freezer when I reached home? Or should I put it in my office's freezer and only put it into fridge to go when I m abt to leave office? But I m afraid if I freeze it in office freezer, it will slowly thaw on my way home when it is in the fridge to go. Help... I dunno what to do to preserve e bm.
vividip, what i do is:
aft expressed milk, i wil put in fridge first (not freezer), i also put my ice-pack in fridge/freezer to let it cold enough. then before going back i'll transfer bm to my fridge-to-go (FTT). your FTT has ice-panel?? if not, can buy those reusable ice-packs to keep the temperature.
aft back to home i'll transfer to fridge (if need to drink tomorrow according to my baby's drinking amount) or freezer (if got extra amount)
by the way, i bought a mini cooler to put in my office, i didn buy fridge

hi all,
back here for a while...seems like some of us have started on solids. I started as my boy has great interest in it.
I didnt buy baby drinking cup..not so soon..perhaps 7-8 mths then start on it..he is still young at 4mths still need feeding slowly as their swallowing is still immature..drinking from cup will choke.
The baby spoons and bowls i buy usually to make the cereals and pureed food. I use rice cereals, carrot puree, banana puree, pumpkin and sweet potato puree. Remember to only use 1 food at a time for at least 3 days if not bb will get allergies. For me, i only let him try to eat once a day. Now is just like a trial practice. He is still on formula majority.
My son flips also but not so much now. And most often, i dun leave him alone. There must be someone looking over him. If i am alone with him, i literally carry his bouncer and make milk in the kitchen with him. In case he flips on the bed or sofa i dunno.
Sad story on facebook: Aiyoh i think got a few of us post video on a baby story from malaysia on facebook..i think i got to avoid such stories..i read and then I cannot stop crying.....no more sad baby stories...

Vividip, I put in the mini cooler in office then put in the agent thermal bag to bring home. I dun use FTG. Coz a) it takes me 45 min to reach home and thermal bag keeps it cold. B) I tested before, the FTG will not be v cold after 10 hrs. Still cold, just much less. My FTG is those 12 hr cold type. I hv no access to office freezer. So FTG is not that useful for me. But i do know of pple who put straight into freezer (they store in agent via cups) and transport back using thermal bag. If u hv access to freezer/fridge in office, the just put ur FTG in freezer during the day...and milk in fridge. When going home then transfer to FTG.
@ Nana and CSI: thanks for e advice. So if the milk is kept cold (not frozen) for abt 8 hours, it is okay to freeze it after tat when I reached home? I know it is not good to re-freeze thaw milk but is it ok to freeze milk after it is kept cold but not frozen for so long?
Hi, just joining this thread. My baby is 15 weeks, close to 8kg. Any advice for how I can get him to take the bottle? I started him on it since he was 2 weeks old and it was alright, until about a few weeks ago, he started refusing it. At first he refused frozen breastmilk, then he even refused the < 24 hr old milk I had stored in the chiller. Sigh... it makes me very baby bound, going to the gym or going to run errands also very hard. My MIL is suggesting that I start him on formula, but I really don't want after working so hard to feed him exclusively breastmilk!
Nana: From what I know, the pre-school sector basically has child care centres (under MCYS, running from 18mths to 6 years) and kindergartens (under MOE, some have playgroups starting in the year the child turns 3). Some child care centres also offer infant care for infants aged 2 - 18mths. The key differences between child care centres and kindergartens are (i) child care centres run full day programmes, from 7am to 7pm, so as to help parents go back to work; and (ii) they offer subsidy - working mothers get $300 for child care and $600 for infant care. Children of K1 and K2 age in child care centres also go through a curriculum that is based on the one issued by MOE (i.e. same one which kindergartens use). Apart from the "kindergarten" programme (usually in the morning), a day's programme in a child care centre would include outdoor play, nap time, bath time, morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, and some lighter activities like story telling etc in the afternoon. So if you start your child in a child care centre, you don't actually have to take him/her out and enrol in a kindergarten when he/she reaches nursery age.

OraNGe, yup, I registered my son for St James Church Kindergarten already. I thought I was being ridiculous registering him when he was 7 weeks old but my hubby went on reservist and was told by his buddies that I was already 7 weeks too late! Indeed, he's no 50 something on the waiting list for the least popular session!
You can use log onto www.childcarelink.gov.sg to check out the child care centres in the bishan area. If you want to know about the kindergartens in the area, go to http://www.moe.gov.sg/education/preschool/find-a-kindergarten/
I've been using them to look for pre-schools in the area. I heard MYMCA in Bishan is not bad, my friends used to send their kids there.

Nana: Pre-school is school for children below 6 years; infant class- K2. Both kindergarten and childcare centers are schools for Pre-school children. Kindergarten is 3 hours, mon-fri whereas childcare operates 7am-1pm for half day and 7-7pm for full day. The former adopts the same school holidays as the primary school while the latter can only close for 5 days in a year on top of the public holidays and off days in
lieu. Both take in children by the year the turn their respective ages. Hope this helps.

Hi jo, if have milk bleb, should i go to lactation consultant or mdm rokiah can help with the problem?
Ching, when I got blocked duct or milk bleb, I'll let my bb sucks more often on tt side, the other side just pump out. Aft 2-3days it wil be cleared off.. I Alw experience blocked duct too! One time kena mastitis and developed fever. I tried Mdm rokiah too, but tt time my blocked duct too stubborn she can't clear in one session n she need to go overseas tt time so I didn manage to clear it. I let bb suck suck suck till clear.. Before pumping or latching, try hot compression, v useful!
Parmeley, Jo > thanks on the info.. Kids here start learning in such a young age.. Can I ask is it a must to send kid to pre-school? Where can I find info on this? Any mummy here intend to do homeschooling??

Ching, i don apply anything.. Last time I think got one mami here suggested using needle (sterilize with fire) to prick the bleb. But I scared of getting infection if not done properly. Normally if I see the bled is not so big, I'll use hand to squeeze it out. If it's v big bled, I'll just let bb sucks till clear off. Now u got blocked duct, try hot compression before latching and pumping, it wil go faster. If u feel Ur nipple v sore, can apply nipple cream.
Nana/hammiebao:
can post the link of the baby Malaysia story? I want to read too...
Anyway, anyone got any idea why my bb cried during certain times at night? Been noticing that for the last few weeks. Every night between 8-9.30, he always cries. Hard to settle to bed. Can cry on and off till about 10-11pm. Is it becoz of colic? But I thought baby this age should be free of colic already. Any mommy got any idea why?
