mimimo, sinmey isn't going to the gathering lei... how to pass to her? via rachel ah? big or small item? if small should be ok haha..if big...then i have a problem...i haven't figured out how to bring bb out alone with no carrier.... hahaha
SN, ooo then it's ok, I wanna pass the small tin of enfa milk powder to her. I'll find some other way [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
No carrier also can, just carry him, sling your diaper bag, hop onto the cab, sit tight and you'll reach her place shortly...hee I do that too when I bring him out alone

M, my girl used to finish her milk at 1 go. But started few wks ago, she'll drink till 40-60ml den start to push out or talk or smile. We'll try encourage her to finish it. At times will leave abt 5-10ml wasted.

Hi mummies,
milk drinking- Janelle only drink like 4-5 times a day with 1 cereal (similac fm scoop - 2 scoops mix with carrot/pumpkin ) and 1 porridge... if she sleeps, she can finish her 170ml within 10 mins.. but if she awake, she dont drink... stopped pumping a month plus ago and today is the last packet of febm liao.. so from now on is total fm for her..
i guess she she is drinking averagely ba.. but her weight doesnt seems to be putting on much.. so small size.. yest weigh her only 6.5kg nia...
mil said Janelle appetite not very good.. so she bought Eu Yan Seng Si Sen Brown rice and si sen powder to mix into her diet.. ok anot ar ? she told me the Eu Yan Seng said after 4 months can start liao.. anyone of you started Si Sen powder or brown rice on your babies ?
for sleeping at night, Janelle knows when is bed time..she only want to go to our bed and lie .. if you leave her on her high chair, she will cry and demand your attention.. but the moment she lie on our bed, she will suck her thumb, flip and flip and can self entertain.. even though we barricaded her all the time with pillows, big sofa cushion, she managed to break free last sunday.. in the end, she fell off from the bed, with face down and was crying pretty badly.. soothed her, checked and ensure no visible injuriy.. monitored her for the past 2 days, all seems fine.. like that not necessary to bring to see doc right ? She can eat, no vomit , can play well.. should be ok right ?
Gatherings- how i wish i could attend but new job cannot take leave yet.. boo hoo!

Talking about bb slping, my boy dun fuss b4 slping. But recently he will wake up in the middle of the night to play!! Flip here, flip there, keep knocking against the playpen n talking to himself. Usually last about half hr den he will auto go back sleep. haha..so funny. But make me not able to sleep.
Guess baby is going through another growing phase that's y the change in their behaviour.
Over the weekend, bought my boy to see pd cos his rashes becomes very bad. His neck and tummy all red, even the back of his ears also have. Doc say it is eczema. Although doc say it is quite common in babies and nothing serious, I can't help feeling worried and sad for him. Hope he will recover soon.

Pinky,
Welcome back .. Steady la u ... i salute u brought 2 kiddos everywhr ALONE ... omg .. i brought my 2 kiddos to Tioman resort. I would said i'll die if my sis is not coming with me ...
I'm planning another trip year end .. but i'd not go without my sis .. haha
bb fussed b4 sleep.
Shay also same ... unless he KO during the milk feed. Noticed that if he over exhausted/too sleepy, he will get more frustrated and more difficult to fall asleep. Sometimes, i'll hug him tight to calm him down, or sing song ... at time, i jz leave him in the dark room. after 15mins i came in he sleep liao .. haha (how nice if this is always the case)
So now, i try to play with him b4 sleep, make sure he really tire and he will totally KO during the milk feed ..
Allet,
y u need to add si shen powder to the si shen brown rice ? Tot it's already contain the si shen powder. Actually to me it's jz another brown rice lor. I tried but Shay don't like it leh.
It smell good to me, but i think the texture is not as nice/smooth leh. Or i have yet to master the cooking skill .. haha

Hi mummies,
Just to vent a bit. Am feeling a bit depressed. My MIL helps me look after my 2 kids when I work. Yesterday evening, my mum came to my house to play with the kids. When hubby went to MIL house for dinner after work, I called him to ask him to send my mum home after his dinner. Shortly after he came back, my MIL called to tell hubby he didn't wash his bowl after dinner. So hubby went back down (MIL stays downstairs) & MIL complained to him about me. After hubby told me about the complaints, feel a bit sian but also feel that he's caught in between. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

abt bb sleeping, bb Chloe also like that, when time's is up for her sleep (ard 9pm plus) she will fuss, so I will feed her, let her drift off to lala lah herself. So far so good and yes! sometimes she wakes up ard 3plus to play, eyes big big but we just ignore her or bring her to sleep between us, after a while, she self soothes and sleeps again!
Allets, Chloe is also small size, abt 6.7kg. I think as long as they seem ok, growing well, not need to worry ba! If Janelle can take si shen powder, then go ahead, but guess no need to force her. As long as they drink their fair share of milk, they should get all the nutrients needed right? Let's not worry too much!
pooh bear, it;s natural for MIL to 'complain' but as long as you & your hb communicate, can liao! as long as he knows your intentions and reasons, hack care MIL or even mother lah! sometimes very hard to please all of them, as long as you stay close to your loved ones, can liao!

serene, hmm... if yr bb still ok with strangers, u might wana consider a change. Other than that, if your current nanny is doing a good job, you might want to stay on with her. I was thinking, she could have got her daughter to pack dinner instead...
pooh bear, yr hub very good lei, will go back to his mum's house to wash bowl. Never mind la, one ear in and one ear out.
sinmey, long time no hear frm u!

tres, chen & SN,
Thanks for your kind words. Really very hard to please all of them. And my hub is the only child & he's very nice to his parents. I also try to one ear in and one ear out. I think MIL's a bit jealous and feels under-appreciated. She's particular about us showing respect to her.

sinmey,
It's really a never-ending story. I'm far from her 'ideal' DIL. So try to ignore, but sometimes really feel that she's picking on me.

sometimes i will also think what kindof MIL i will be in future...
i always believe that sons always will belong to his wife ones..
only daughters will side own parents more..
haiz...and i got 2 sons..boo..
i am plain lucky that i got a nice MIL..she always told me, she cannot say too much otherwise the DIL, Son-IL all will not come home and make her own kids in a difficult position..
so she try to balance everything...
although she doesnt like the youngest SIL, when her son call or come back, she never say bad things about her...
i think she is in another level already...i wonder i can do that or not...

wahh .. school holiday finish very long liao leh
She might be taking care other kids ? the P2 & P4 is not her kids ?
i left my #1 with Nanny & i'm very lucky to met a good one. But too bad she prefer to work in office rather than stay home with kids lor coz her kids all big le.
So for my boy, i can't find one that i can feel comfortable with de lor (Blame the previous nanny set my high expectation on them lor). End up i put Shay in IFC. Happy to say that I'm quite happy so far lar ..u might wan to consider IFC as one of option. Good nanny is hard to find and it really depends on your luck de lo unless ppl recommend.

Serene, 2 months to get used to nanny is quite long. Plus now they start to have stranger anxiety. Like for my girl, my mum was away after her first month. Recently came back & my girl will cry when my mum carries her for too long or when she's sleepy.
thanks for 'listening' to me venting. Trying not to take it too hard.

oh well, 2K, Sinmey, that's a bit far away for us to 'think' liao!
Serene, perhaps you wanna consider infantcare instead? At least the pple there are a bit more professional? Least you need not worry.
Even when I leave my bb at my mum's I have to close both eyes leh! She can leave my bb with my maid and go marketing hor! Even my own mum can do this, let alone a nanny lah!
Mummies, not to stress you all, are you all looking for pre-school for your bb alr? I heard some good ones need to register NOW wor!!

tres, haha, I'm more KS than you. I'm sending my bb to my older one's pre-school.
Mummies, pls educate me,
Pre-school are like school that teach the kids educational stuff for like 2 - 4 hrs dailys.
CHildcare is for the full day with programmes.
Not sure if i shuld register for childcare (say half day) or pre school. Near my mum's place, there is my first skool.. so thinking of puttin gher there for half day, what are your tots?

tres: personally, if i have someone taking care for me, i will only send my child to those 2-3 hours playgroup when they around 20months or so..
cos by then they can listen to instructions abit..
to me playgroup is not really to learn things or what, just to let them have a feel of school and make friends, sing song, mingle with other kids
half day childcare and fullday childcare the charges are not much different, and they wont really learn alot..
cos usually the class starts only at 9am, then later bath all that, then zzz le..
usually morning is one language, afternoon is another language, so she will still miss out some..
whereas playgroup, is full 2-3hours activities..think it might be better.

Tres,
hmm, for me who do not have anyone to take care my kids, i left with fullday childcare.
But in fact, my girl learn a lot from playgroup. Her cc has theme every 3 mths de (eg: Q1: Animal, Q2, Occupation, Q3: Weather..) and she learn the 123/ABC there too. I doubt her nanny is teaching her anything lor. Other than that, she sing song/play games ..

Tres,
the cost for half day is $150 i think .. so the pay sum for half day/full day is abt the same.
The only thing i felt guilty sometimes is .. she might be tire or unwell or dun feel like going to school, also she has no choice to go full day lor .. it's like from 7.30am to 6.45pm till we picked her up. But if your mum is at home, at least you can opt to send her from 9-5 pm lor .. most class start 9am & finish by 4.30pm i think ..

The only thing i felt guilty sometimes is .. she might be tire or unwell or dun feel like going to school, also she has no choice to go full day lor .. it's like from 7.30am to 6.45pm till we picked her up.
