Melissa,
Honestly I can't quite remember how to go about feeding cereals already hehe.. even though it was only 1 year + ago when I introduced it to my no 1, mumnesia la..
but i can roughly remember that i started replacing 1 feed with cereal, so she only ate semi solids once a day, timing really depends on you and the baby..
I gave her in the morning, some sort like breakfast, cos she was also more alert then.
And then when she reached 6 mths, i introduce brown rice porridge with fish even though most ang moh parenting books say dun introduce fish until 8 - 10 mths..but i follow chinese style (both mum and MIL say can feed), so i gave her blended brown rice, fish and veg for her lunch.
Juliana,
whereabout in the East will your bro be most likely working or staying? cos there are lots of childcare choices in the east.. Price range is quite huge, if you opt for those run by the government (PCF type), its quite affordable at about $300 - $400 per mth.. Of cos if your SIL would like to choose "brand-name" schools then will have to pay up to $1600 per mth...
I must say it will be very daunting for your SIL, so the best way for her to choose will be to pay a personal visit to the childcare centres around the area..
Andrea,
i understand how u feel... i remember feeling so sad when my elder gal didn't really smile at me or acknowledge me whenever i came home from work, she was only 4 mths old then.. After a few mths of seeing how she became closer to daddy and to her grandma, I made the decision to stay home w her for a year..
Now after 1 yr with her, she is super close to me.. Sigh, I believe the same thing will happen to my no 2, i'm sure she won't be as close to me when i return to work. Sob..

Oshgosh: I dun think she wants "brand name". She said need to be thrifty coz she won't be working if she comes over. So, cheaper better but of coz cannot be too dodgy. I prefer PCF or NTUC ones coz at least it is known.
Ya! $800 expensive right for PCF? I always thot PAP ones shd be cheaper. Unless she quoted wrongly. She wasn't very sure, she said roughly $800. Strange, My first Skool which is NTUC only charges $500+ but it's full!
My bro will be working at Changi Business Park. They haven't decided where to stay yet. Initially they thot wanna stay near his office but now they considering Sembawang coz got express bus direct to Changi from here. Then if stay near me, my mum can help out both sides maybe? So, I think now they still considering, that's why I'm helping them to find out some info like Primary School, Childcare, Rental, etc. At least to help them make some decision on where to stay. Hse rental now is super crazy!

tigger, my PD doesn't check on my gal's developments but that might be cos i only bring her to PD when she's sick. her immunisations are taken at the polyclinic so it's one of the assigned docs there who checks on her when it's time.
starting solids:
i thought about starting my gal on solids too but then i think will wait til later also. since i've stopped bf-ing, she's been taking fm during the nights and is putting on weight rapidly! so cute to see her so chubby. hehehe...
nan pro 1:
i also didn't know there's a difference btw philippines and netherlands... my mum just bought a tin from shop & save... think it shd be philippines. but so far my gal doesn't have problems with it (touch wood!). better start buying those from netherlands just in case!
hanging up my pumps:
i've officially put away my breastpump and the bottles and i must say it's an immense relief! bf-ing was great while being a SAHM, but once i started work, it didn't really gel with my lifestyle. still it was great while it lasted and no matter whether it's fm or bm, i'm sure my gal will benefit from either. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
childcare:
juliana, my cousin just placed her 18mth in full CC in simei. one of the community centres... after subsidy, it's about $520 a month. she said if it's just half day, the difference is about $50.
andrea, your little andrew looks so much like his jie jie! both are absolutely adorable, love seeing their photos on FB. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
killing germs:
i've read before that mixing white vinegar with water and spraying them on furnitures can help to kill germs/bacteria. read more here: http://www.vinegartips.com/scripts/pageViewSec.asp?id=7

Roz> Speaking of other groceries.. Before bb was born, I used to go Giant to buy a trolley-load of food to cook.. After bb born, no time to cook, every time go Giant only buy a trolley-load of bb related stuff, mainly diapers and wet wipes… How life has changed with a bb around.. hehe…
Raspy> You're so funny, say your girl scared people steal her diapers.. Lol!! And *hugz*, can understand how you feel abt the BF discussion, jia you in your efforts to continue to give your girl BM k, your efforts are not wasted.. For one, every ounce of BM you give saves you a bit of $$.. hee.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Dec Mum> I rmb when I was pregnant, every workshop / talk I attended, I will receive lots of samples of those milk for pregnant and breastfeeding mums.. If you can get hold of those samples, try all to see which one taste okay for you.. They all taste a bit different.. Adding different amount of powder/water will also affect the taste.. If too bland, maybe try adding more powder? Anw I love bubble milk tea too!! But that day after I drank Gong Cha, my bb was super HIGH at night, so I a bit scared of drinking bubble tea now.. hahaha…
Tigger> My PD always does all the routine checking of bb when we bring him to her.. Like touching the soft bone in the head, pressing on the stomach, checking his testicles etc..
Rainbow> My hb recently also got problem with his knees! Cannot even climb stairs properly.. Went to see 中医 who prescribed some black stuff and told him not to eat chicken / duck / fried stuff (can't rmb what else was on the list).. He also took glucosamine.. Now better le..

Jialing,
Tingkat: sorry I checked,East only. Companies usually cover specific area to keep food fresh as tend to deliver very early. This one does not use MSG, halal(so my maid can eat as well) thats why I like.
There are a lot similar in the market, maybe mummies staying in Central/West can recommend?

I certainly dun feel tt way. Dun be upset. I think wer all here to share n every mummies is 'adult' enuf to decide wat they wan to do and wat they prefer. As a 2nd time mummy yself, sumtimes i also share wat i do with #1 when she is jus a BB so tt 1st time mummy can also knw n 'agar agar' decide where n what they wanna do frm there. We r nt like making decision or forcin them to do wat we do. I dun think u were so pushy, self centered or watever as mentioned.. Forum is for us to chat, share everything. Dun get affected.
My view, i hope i dun offrnd anyone, is tt if u can share or be open, better dun get involved n point finger cos its jus so nt fair for 2nd ti mummie who sonetimes wan to share & we haf a lot of experienced mummies sharing a lot of valuable information!!
And seriously, there is nothing wrong with mummies being proud of their kids!! I am one too..

Rainbow> Eat high calcium everything then! Haha.. I eat high calcium milk bread with high calcium cheese every morning.. And I make my milo with high calcium condensed milk... When we go grocery shopping, my hb will take all the different brands of bread / cheese / milk to compare and see which has the best balance of high calcium + low fat content before buying... Super Uncle lah.. And also, must cut down drinking anything with caffeine, coz caffeine will block calcium absorption.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
dewdew, congrat first hor. Tat's wat old folks said... if my boy suck, i must immediate pull out.. next one i wan a GAL!!! if yr gal nipple is pointed, next one will be a boy. if you boy thigh only has 1 line, next one will be a boy. go check.. haha. I've checked mine and all e more cfm next one boy again.. *sigh*

cherry: haha... i don't dare to feed liz when she is drowsy. I was feeding her cereal last time and she was both sleepy and hungry, so she struggled through the feed with her eyes half open and eventually without notice, she just felt asleep into the bowl! My helper and I were trying not to laugh too loud!
cherry/rainbow: liz hasn't learnt to suck toes yet. She has however learnt to hold her teether and put it into her mouth, and when she's tired of it, she throws it onto the floor. I pick it up, wash it, pass to her, and she would throw again! Faint...

rainbow, my mum says if bb's face looks like boy, then the next one will be boy. like mine, sometimes ppl will mistake her for a boy so my mum says next one will be a boy. but not so soon lah, maybe next year or so. let me have a break first.... lol!

cherry: Yup, she can put the teether into her mouth. SOmetimes, she's tired of holding but still wants the teether, she places it on her mouth/upper lip, so that she can lick it. Quite funny to see her do these things.
Good idea, but liz is the kind where if she wants to sleep, she wants to sleep... she would drink 2 sips then zzzzzzzzzzz

cherry
cos i very angry to see tt post. we learn frm everyone here, even frm 1st time mummy. some stuff tt we didnt experience with our #1, we might with #2. so sometimes when 1st time mummy share certain experiences, we also gain as well...
teething
i also feel tt my boy will teeth earlier.. hahahhaa.. jus another strong hunch again..
2nd time mummy
jus wanna ask if any of u makes 'cooling' drinks for ur #1?? cos my gal gave me a fright on fri nite. i tot she HFMD le.. she gt 2 ulcers on the sides of her mouth, and both upper & lower lips red red and like skin gonna break. so worried and brought her to A&E. but end up didnt wait cos no med to stop but only cream and also cos no red spots on hand n feet so cant cfm. but frm fri nite til nw, she still no signs of red spots and also the 2 ulcer didnt add on, and its healing up. so i am relieved.
i think cos i dun make 'cooling' tea for her weekly. and also the weather lately hot n cold, so her body 'flare' up ba.. can share??
**sorry for being so sensitive or a bit agitated in my earlier post. cos i really enjoyed myself here as compared to my prev thread with #1. cos there are also some 'not so friendly' mummies there too. thus i enjoy the chat with all the 1st time n 2nd time mummies. i seriously dun like her post on mangogal when she is jus sharing experiences.. pai sei hor***

jus wanna ask if any of u makes 'cooling' drinks for ur #1?? cos my gal gave me a fright on fri nite. i tot she HFMD le.. she gt 2 ulcers on the sides of her mouth, and both upper & lower lips red red and like skin gonna break. so worried and brought her to A&E. but end up didnt wait cos no med to stop but only cream and also cos no red spots on hand n feet so cant cfm. but frm fri nite til nw, she still no signs of red spots and also the 2 ulcer didnt add on, and its healing up. so i am relieved.
i think cos i dun make 'cooling' tea for her weekly. and also the weather lately hot n cold, so her body 'flare' up ba.. can share??
**sorry for being so sensitive or a bit agitated in my earlier post. cos i really enjoyed myself here as compared to my prev thread with #1. cos there are also some 'not so friendly' mummies there too. thus i enjoy the chat with all the 1st time n 2nd time mummies. i seriously dun like her post on mangogal when she is jus sharing experiences.. pai sei hor***

Woo hoo! now that so many mommies are back at work, the thread is SUPER active now! just one morning and i can't seem to catch up on all the posts liao! hehehe... someone commented thread runnign fast. indeed it is. i kaypoh, went to check on posts of the 2010 mommy threads, our Dec MTB has one of the highest posts, next to March mommies. well done all! hahaha
TenQ- ya la, maybe your girl not used to sitting up like that yet. i agree, cannot sit too long, maybe short periods of time but of course not like half an hour or more.. start with few mins then 5, then 10 etc... but depends on babies also. my girl likes it and is able to sit in it watching us, specifically her sister, play or just our activities. it's a different perspective from lying down and staring at the often bare ceiling! oh ya, tip, you might have to adjust her thighs a little to get the right 'fit'. pull them out a little bit, jst a little, so she won't fall forwards so easily.
Mango - rough morning huh? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] hope with the jiemeis' support here you're feeling much better now.
Tallie- We're all here for the friendship and support and i think so far we've all been doing that pretty well. it's true that some topics aren't so relevant and like the rest, i'll take a backseat if nothing to share/contribute, and Mango is probably just really enthusiastic about sharing on topics she's had experience with and may have come across the wrong way to you.
Vouchers -
i'll probably also go for NTUC vouchers.. sure can use de! heheh... big First choice also good, giant is a superstore, besides groceries, there's so many other things you can buy! speaking of which, i do have $200 taka vouchers. planning to use it this wed when they have ladies and bags sale at the basement square [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] looking forward to shopping before i go back to work in May...

Hi mummies!
Haven't posted for a long time but I try to keep up with all your postings... Learnt a lot from you all and also compare your babies progress with mine so that I know it is normal when certain things happen... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Anyway, just an update, my girl is 5 months already and she doesn't show any interest in flipping at all! The most she can go is 3/4 way... Always get stuck at the sholders... then she give up and go-stan... back to lying on her back... haha...
Yesterday, we really shag her out, brought her out early in the morning for my dog's swimming gathering. After that, came home fed her then went out for lunch followed by a trip to the mums and babes warehouse sale then went back fed her and went to my parent's place to let her swim.. After dinner, by the time reach home, it was 9pm already... She was so tired she kept crying and didn't want to sleep...
Normally, every night we will just switch off all the lights and just leave a small light on, turn on the music and her cot mobile and put her into the cot, she will talk to herself for awhile before dozing off and sleep until next morning... Last night, she will just cry and cry... need to carry her and pat her to sleep in the arms before putting her down... think she was really shag out... even skipped her last feed at 10.30pm... by 10 she was out until this morning... haha...
Think next time cannot pack too many things in 1 day... brought her to my MIL place today, she said how come she is so dark??? hahah...
Just to check with you all, I'm not sure why i can't find the 2010 Dec mums group in FB already... I was a member previously but now I can't find it anywhere under my FB account... Funny... any of you experience the same thing?

Thanks for the feedback on pd assessments. Guess I better bring my son to polyclinic for his jabs.
I have officially stopped pumping from yesterday. It is very tiring to juggle both work and pumping. Really hats off to mummies who are still going strong. Jia you [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Rainbow: Glucosamine is good for cartilage and joint problems. It is better for you to check with the doctor. Caltrate (calcium) tablet is also good for your body. Try eating anchovies, milk cheese etc as suggested by jiemeis here.
