Happy Mother's Day!!!!
cutiebb, wow i thought my mum is young but your MIL is even younger! Luckily your mum can help you take care of your gal. If your mum is working like mine, how to help...My dad doesn't work and hasn't been since i was in sec school. So my mum has no choice but to work as she is paying for their current 4-room at Sengkang on her own. I've enquired with HDB and confirm my flat will turn 5 years next year in November already. But to buy a 2nd subsidised flat, i'll have to pay a resale levy of 45k so i think thou i will get a 4-room resale as near to my mum as possible, i will choose to just buy off the open market and not take any HDB grant.
poshies, i take care of my son the moment i was discharged, heh. My mum trained me well lar. Day 1 onwards she trained me how to bathe, feed & change him already. Thou wound was painful and back pain, my gynae encouraged me to keep moving. He told me the more i move, the faster i will recover so i just continued to do evthing. I admit i was quite afraid when i returned to Jurong after confinement, worried i cannot cope on my own. But realised ok lar, just that almost everyday, can't have my first bite or bath until near 5pm. Don't know why also, haha. I don't dare to bring my son out also. He always cry until like i'm torturing him. Sometimes i worry my neighbours will call police! Any idea how to get rid of phlegm? I've heard some people say mix abit of pearl powder with water and let them drink. But i don't dare. I thought pearl powder is for the face?! Haiz..too bad i can only sell my flat next year!!!
ashwen, the First Skool at JP is very popular because it's relatively new and it's cheap. IIRC, after the $300 subsidy, its only $400 per month. To me, $400 is reasonable considering the location of the childcare and the facilities. But their programmes and quality of teachers, i really have no idea.
yun, ever checked out the branches of Cherie Hearts? I know there are a few branches in Jurong, you should take a look
I think there is Whispering Hearts near Frontier as well. This year confirm full lar but you can enquire about next year.

HI Puffgal,
Yah,will go to carpediam and Cheri hearts to check,
Hi BBC,I went to Brightkids yesterday to ask for the registration form. I dunno who Iam talking to but the way she talk to me is quite unfriendly..she keep saying "we are full, we are full" and dun bother to explain more
Went to Whispering hearts just now, I also dun like the CC, saw few childrens sleep by the window and the window is half open from bottom, I juz find its quite dangerous coz people can see them or even touch them when they pass by..
Where is motherwell ?

puffgal, which part of jurong do you live at? I have to say my MIL won't jijiao about money. Thou we are only able to give her $300 a month, she still okay, still very willing to take care of my son and buy things for him. If everytime in-laws always ask $ from us, i will feel very stressed and will avoid them as much as possible *oops*
yun, i've made appointments to view a few childcare centres. Will feedback here when i'm done with them. But not all are at jurong because it is impossible for me to reach jurong by 7pm after work. I look for childcare centres that are along my way to work. So far, i've made appointments with Cherie Hearts @Chervons, Cherie Hearts @Eng Kong and Pat's Schoolhouse @Arena. Have emailed Learning Vision @Biopolis as well but haven't made appointment yet. Am also going to visit one at Yunnan Crescent as well but i haven't called yet. Another one is at Yung Ho Road, Gracefield i think. But not sure if it's a christian childcare.

Any mummies here send their kids to PCF Ayer Rajah West Coast Sparkletots? How do you all get to the childcare centre? Doesn't look very accessible to me from the map...
Hi BBC, I went to Carpediem at block 739 yesterday. However, I found the little corner(classroom) of my son's age group is too small for 12 children + 2 teacher inside and Iam thinking how they are going to sleep there..
I got the pre-registration form and the teacher told me waiting list is long, most likely have to wait after CNY 2011.
Hi Butterwaffles, yes..yes.. let me know after your visited.
I am keen on PAT'S SCHOOLHOUSE but its too costly for me (Iam SAHM now)

yun, i have the schoolfees, timetable (daily activities) and the programme details for Pat's. Very detailed. If you want, do PM me, i can email you the document
It IS very expensive. You are a SAHM?? Then the subisdy is only $150, will be very very taxing on your husband! For me, i'm keeping an open mind. Learning Vision @Biopolis just called me so i'll be visiting this one too next week. I'm a FTWM so i need a place where it's accessible by public transport as i'll be the one doing all the fetchings in the mornings and evenings...
Angel, my son now drinks milk only! Still small...but i've wondered about your question as well. My mum told me to get a pressure cooker. She said just cook a soup, a veg dish, add rice and that's a nice meal already because for vegetables, usually can steam or stirfry? Where do you live huh? I live at one of the blks near Pioneer mrt station...

Morning....
yun, carpediem is small. thats y for that price, my hubby would not wan to put my gal there.
angel,
at least they put you on waiting list. i cant even put my gal name on their wating list. so maybe u still got hope.
i am lucky to have a nice MIL to cook for us for weekday. so i dun really have this problem. go back n eat nia.... haha BTW i cant cook. only know how to eat.... so lousy hor
something to share. after doin marketing, you can prepare fish/ pork/chicken portion that ur child needs before putting them into the fridge. just put them in a small plastics bag/ container for each portion. just take out the portion each time you wan to cook for them. small portion is also easy to defroze.

Hi,
I do not have time to cook as well for weekdays, Nor does my MIL. Occassionally she will cook some soup. But not the full meal. So everyday I will tabao from the coffeeshop beside Pioneer MRT. Everyday! Everyone at the coffee shop knows me liao. Haha..
My prob is... on weekdays no one cooks for my BB as well. My MIL does not want to cook for him.
My BB is a picky eater and eats very little of what he wants to eat for that day.
I tried to cook something and put in the fridge for my MIL to reheat. But even that she also don want. She thinks that he is still small.. milk and rice cereal will do. What I prepared is "extra" esp. since he doesnt like to eat.
But recently I found out that she has been feeding him outside food coz when she eats, he will want to eat her food too.
So now that he has had outside food, even worse! He doesnt want homecooked food anymore.
My dilemma : still prepare homecook for him or give him outside food? He is only 12 mth old.

Hi Angel,
I understand what u mean.
I usually knock off and reach home with tabao food by 615 pm. Even so, I still find it diff to change out of my work clothes, cook BB food, feed BB, eat my own food, play with BB, bath BB, esp since once I reach home BB wants me to carry. And then he sleeps by 8 pm. So everything must do in 1.5-2 hr

Iam SAHM, cook everyday for my BB, like Steam codfish,corn/pork ribs/wintermelon soup but he also eats outside foods when we go outside on the weekend, he is a big eater, eats everything what we eat.
We going to Jurong Point almost everyday for Lunch, shop shop and just BB and me. Really glad that I can be with him 24/7.never regret to sacrifice my job and be a fulltime mum to take care of him.

cook dinner:
have u think of catering from outside. they will deliver to ur place n only need to cook rice. think will save alot of time on cooking.
ashwen,
i feel 12 months is too young for outside food. i only start to let her try when she turned 18 months.
angel,
for bb food, i still find it quite easy to prepare. every thing just steam/ put inside the porridge. i use rice cooker to cook the porridge. is easier as dun need to look after the fire.
as for food, just pack small portion before hand. in the morning, take the meat from freezer n put in the normal fridge portion. by the time we reach home in the evening, the meat will be defroze. everything can be done in 30 min. all these are base on my weekend experience. so hope will help.

Hi,
I also know or think 12 mths too young for outside food. But what do you do when BB doesnt want to eat own food? In general, my BB is very guai type. But he will make a lot of fuss during mealtimes. Dun wan to eat, refuse to open mouth / spit out food / do the nausea/vomit action/ wave his arms to brush away the spoon / put his hands into the bowl to play with food /
He has been like tat from start of weaning.
Friends doesnt not believe me until they see him during mealtimes.
Whenever I hear ppl says their BB eats everything, I envy them so much.
Anyone has any tips or recipes to share with me?

BBC, i think i will ki siao too, if i face my boy 24/7 but ever since he was born, there was never a day when i wondered if i could have done more for him if i'm a SAHM
If my husband can take home 10K a month, i will stay home, hahahaha!
ashwen, i believe some children are just fussy eaters wor. I have a colleague, her gal can eat one meal a day only. She is just simply not hungry! But her weight and height are in the healthy range. My MIL always boast that the porridge she cooks, small kids sure eat. She says she will chop up veg, potatoes and carrots. Then she will grind the meat and somehow cook it until its nua nua then add the meat juice into the porridge. She mentioned that by doing that, the porridge will taste sweet naturally, no need to add soya sauce. But overall, i think as long as your boy is not losing weight, should be ok? Just now i visited a childcare centre and i was talking to the principal on how they handle fussy eaters. She said actually for them, is pretty easy because in a childcare, its basically monkey see monkey do. She said even fussy eaters who go childcare will end up eating whatever is served because their friends eat too. If they really don't want to eat, they will give milk given by the parents and add cereal. Then offer fruits...

<font face="segoe ui"> Ashwen, I agree with Butterwaffles...when kids goes to CC, they really monkey see monkey do...like my gf told me her gal doesnt like to drink water, but goes to CC, she see her friends drink, she also follow and there is a volume of how much they must drink everytime, so it become like a 'competition' between the kids...
even my gal, she also dun like to drink water, but when shes outside and see any kids with bottles, she will ask for her and drink together...very funny right</font>

Morning mummies.. is finally FRIDAY..
the thought of SAHM always come across my mind when my gal fall sick. i will feel heartache to leave my darling behind with my MIL n i go to work. I will feel guilty. but hubby not earning more than 10k a month so die die also have to work. haha
ashwen,
is ur son teething?

Huh...I dont know need to wait for how long till he goes to cc. Maybe I shd make friends with my neighbours and bring him over everyday for meals. hahah...
The prob is.. most of the time my MIL will handle his meals since I am working. But she doesnt see this as a prob. She always says milk and cereal is enough. Dun know why we "force" our BB to eat other stuff. But she always like to sneak snacks and other adult food for him. Frankly I think she is too lazy to cook for him everyday. That's why she is even happier that he doesnt want to eat homecooked food. She always tell my BB. "Next time u grow up, Grandma will BUY what u want to eat for u!!" Nvr once I hear her say I COOK for u.
From what I know last time when she took care of my nephew, they also always tabao food for him!!

BBC,
my son not currently is the "real" teething stage, I think, as in he is not drooling like mad. But he still bites everything he can reach.
He has always been a small eater. His current milk intake is 150 ml 2-3 times a day in day time and 180 ml just before and after sleeping.
Rice cereal = 2 times a day, 5 scoops, 150 ml water.
Now 12mths 2 wks, 8.3 kg, 72 cm.
Baby rice cracker 2 pcs / day (this is the only item he will ask for and finish.
)
He will ask for bananas too but can only eat abt 3-4 cm of it.

yun, if you are considering #2, then it's even harder for you to work right? For me, confirm no #2 so i don't have to think so much...Actually, working provides a sort of 'relief' for me. After 10 weeks of ML, thou i can't bear to leave my son with my MIL, i'm happy to see my colleagues again because can have lunch together and gossip! Haha...And got a chance to doll up to go to work. If i stay home all the time, i think i won't bother to dress up because really very tiring to be a SAHM
So SAHMs really wei da...
ashwen, i think your boy is abit on the petite side, so he doesn't eat as much compared to his peers. I think my boy is damn fat compared to yours! He is now 3 months and at the last PD visit when he was 2.5months, he was already 6.4kg and 61cm long. So imagine how dua jia4 he is.
Any mummies here can recommend a reasonably priced and use friendly baby carrier. I hope to bring my boy home every night soon but i need a baby carrier as i take the bus. He is too heavy for me to carry on one arm on the bus and he refused to stay in the sling (but i gota say i'm not very good with sling either). Any recommendations? I hope to get one tonight...

butterwaffles,
what is ur budget for the carrier?
I use babybjorn, a bit ex. but gives good back support for mother, esp if ur is big size.. U need for long term... can invest.
If u want can lend u mine this evening to try out with BB, make sure he likes it. Babybjorn only upright position. Is your BB's neck strong enough already?
If want budget can try to buy from the "Want to sell section".
U can also try Naforye cheaper and can carry many ways but not so much back support for parents. Got BP on-going for Naforye.

ashwen, i'm not sure about my budget because i have no idea at all how much should a baby carrier cost. I'm looking for one that is user-friendly and not hot! Because my son perspire very easily. Can i know where you bought your Bjorn from? Which model is it huh? My son's neck is not strong enough yet. He can hold his head up for sure but not for long i feel...his head will start to do the indian dance after a while, heh.
BBC, you use bjorn too?? Looks like it's worth investing in one. Where did you buy yours and how much was it? If you can remember lar...haha.

Buy from Mothercare.
It is good. My BB wont stay still in the sarang sling, coz is sideways and he cant look ard. But in the Bjorn can stay for 2-3 hrs while shopping and even sleep upright in it.
But also depend on your BB, if he likes it.
There is a BP now for it.

Hi All,
Went to Qian Hu juz now.. found that the fish variety seems to have reduces and so has the sizes..
Anyway, my BB not interested in the fishes. More keen on making friends with other ppl there.
was also at the Library on Sunday. BB also spent all his time walking ard, making friends, pushing chairs and throwing books from shelves to the floor.
I think he annoyed many parents as he distracted many kids. But seeing how happy he is and how much he enjoys and laughs.. I really can't bear to stop him.
When I looked at how grumpy/serious/and even unfriendly some of the other kids are, I really start to wonder.. will my BB grow out of this innocent and genuine friendliness and jovial nature.
While here I am, busy looking for enrichment schools for him. My HB says I am too kiasu... and trying to deprive my BB on his childhood.
Any mum has any advice/ experience to share?
Btw, any comments on Little Neuro Tree at Safra?
