Nana,
My bb sucks his fist alot too! In fact he's been sucking in the womb so hard that when he was born, there was an ulcer on the back of his right hand. Took abt a week to fully heal.
Yes it's a self-sooth method so I just allow him to suck if I'm too tired to pacify him or rock him to sleep. He can fall asleep on his own after sucking for awhile so I don't see any harm in that.
The only thing is that his mittens will get all wet and he will smudge it all over his face. The next day his face will develop red patches [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

hpc,
My workplace at Wheelock. Quite far oh.
Nana,
Re: sucking finger or pacifier, I think can start weaning when the kid can understand. Just gotta be persistent.
When I sent my 2yo to school, the teacher forgot to give him pacifier when he naps. He didn't (or didn't dare to?) fuss.
So we did the same thing at night. He weaned it off within a week. Though the initial few days he had night terror (woke up but couldn't fall back asleep). Now he no longer asks for pacifier when he wanna sleep.

Hi ladies,
Brought my gal for her 3rd month jab in the morning. Her weight is now 5.6 kg not yet double her birth weight, not like her brother who double his birth weight at 3rd month. Haiz, but considering that she is drinking so little and so difficult to feed, her weight is already good and encouraging le.
PD told me that some babies are like that difficult to feed, drink only when asleep or drink more at night. Haiz....guess I can only tahan till she is able to eat solid hopefully it will be BETTER.

Hey mummies, ppl say my no 2 is chubby but I read abt most bb's weight mentioned here is even heavier. He is 6.4kg at 14wks. He's quite long also.
hey mummies, i am now holidaying in Taipei now. I think its great to bring young children coz its really child friendly. there are breastfeeding rooms in some of the big mrt stations, lots of ramps so stroller is not too much of an issue, and no one will fight for space to take the lifts with you. Went to this expo fair and they even had a designated breastfeeding room, how amazing is that!
anyway my son is also 7kg now at 3 months... i think he is on the higher percentile but both me and hubby big size la haha
so the budget got more freebies for us?

The other 20% who are better off will receive S$300."

Chris – OIC. My bb also have choke or cough recently when feeding so wat I did is I hold her head slightly higher & dt feed her milk till d last drop to avoid her to dink in wind.
Sucking hands k caused wind? I thought a lot of bb will do that? And my bb also keep doing that I don’t like it so I’ll stop her as much as I k but I’m going back to work soon and doubts my maid will help to stop her lor!

lol..im sure there will be a catch somewhere.make $$ from our $$..haha..but i agree with u Chris,they SHOULD allow us to offset maid levy.
Mouthing-bb sucking their hands..I asked PD whther i should give pacifier or let him suck his hands.He said it's up to me.He also added,u can throw away the pacifier but u cant throw away his hands.I.e harder to kick the hands habit.
Guess we just have to choose.Both have their own advantages and disadvantages [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Nana: Oh really.. there are babies who are afraid of darkness..he only recently started to have such problem..strange.. hope he will get better soon. btw, i'll also let him suck his fist.. for me i think it seems better than pacificer. But he doesnt do it very often .. mostly when he is hungry then he start it.

vt > my bb vomit milk aftr fd n burping. Cn b quite alot. Yesterday tried to bath him aftr 1h 20min of his fd, stil gt milk cm out of his mouth. N last time whn i burp him, the most cn only hear 1 burp. Nw he cn burp for 2 or 3 times n quite loud too. So i guess he has too much wind in his stomach. Dont tink it is cause by my bm cos my ss reduce n he is only takin 2 to 3 fd of bm per day. I tink suck hand will hv wind cos ther r gaps whn bb suck. Tis cn cause bb to suck wind? It is a phase indeed, so tats y i also dont wat i cn do. Probably tats y sm of us here r also facin the same problem.

hammiebao: Thanks for the precious tips! I finally went solo with bb and it was a very tiring but goood experience [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
sucking of fist: my boy does tat a lot too. but i am fine with it. Its good to let them explore their fingers and sucking momentum. I used pacifier also..its only a passing phase. I allow my son to explore anything on his own and this way he learns very fast. When he gets older, then i will teach him.

ueno > hw much did u pay for the bag? Wher cn i gt it? Its shoulder bag?
Also, I am so piss. Last sat afternoon, when we went back to my MIL house. she carry my gal go zhao mirror and ask me if I ever heard that bb not yet 3 or 4 months zhao mirror will start to ren people. I told her that she told me before during my son time. I still remember that time she saw me bringing my son to zhao mirror and she told me that, and as it was the first time I heard, I said I dun noe and I dun believe. Then, shortly after, I saw her carrying my son to zhao mirror, so in my heart, I was thinking if u believe this myth, why the hell she bring my son to zhao mirror, so that he will recognise her? Nevertheless, it was useless, and my boy do not ren people so he was easy to take care.
Then now, after she carry my gal and ask me the same old wife tale, my gal suddenly ren people since yesterday. She cried the moment she saw my parents. And today worse, I need to pump milk and as my hb is out, I thought my parent could help to care for my gal and boy so I can pump. Whose know my gal cried so hard, until, I hv to told my mum to leave my gal in the room wif me and I care for her while I pump.
Not sure if it is bb pantang due to wat she say when she carry her. But since this happen after she big mouth, I am now so piss with her. bb ren people, then bb will be difficult to take care and she know it one lor, so why she do it again. Dun understand what inside her koo koo head lor....TMD!

hee so many mummies planning to come taiwan [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] jen I din bring my baby, only brought my #1 who is going to be 3 years old. Yes please bring stroller, most places are very stroller friendly. But really if you dun wanna bring almost all the malls & the flower expo can let you borrow a stroller for FREE! No worries its pretty clean, been borrowing one when i see for my #1 coz i din bring one here ha
the floral expo is not too bad... very big. The landscape is nice but the inside exhibits are not fantastic. but apparently the flowers on display are not always the same coz it depends on the weather. Its been raining the past few days so its not very easy to walk the night market, so sad.
my baby is sucking his fist like mad too! its so interesting all our babies are doing this but i recall for my #1 he did not suck so much

Sharon - the cda top up of $400 n $300 is depend on the annual value (AV) of ur flat. if ur annual value in 2010 is less then $13,000,den ur child will get $400.If above $13000 for AV of flat,den ur child will get $300 onli.
The Credit will be paid into the Children Development Accounts (CDAs), which most children already have. For those who do not currently have CDAs, they will be able to open new accounts to receive their Credits. MCYS will send letters to parents of eligible children to notify them by June 2011. Payment will start from July 2011.
While the $3500 scheme is additional help given to those low income family.Read below taken frm

(C1) Kindergarten Financial Assistance Scheme and Centre-based Financial Assistance Scheme for Childcare
The Government will also give additional support to lower-income families by enhancing subsidies for preschool education and childcare fees.

Shaving hair : shaved my girl's head today. Now she really look like a Botak boy! Hopefully, her hair quickly grow long long. Already before we shave, everyone will ask boy or girl when we bring her out.
Safe : the talk about having a safe made me try to keep the keys to my safe in a diff location. But guess what... It was so secretive that we forgot where we kept it. Took me 4 days to find it. Hahaha.. Hopefully, we dun forget the new location again.
