My girls also need to nap after being awake for abt 2hrs..
Im aldy v good in differentiating their cries and body language.. I will know from the look of their face and cries i know they wana sleep...
My small girl will keep using her hands to rub her face and will cry non stop when she wants to sleep.. I will then carry her and rock her for awhile and she will fall asleep..
My elder girl eyes will get smaller when she is sleepy... And i will carry her.. Give her pillow for her to hug and give her pacifier... Then she will sleep...
Its amazing such small bbs have such distinctive differences in character...

grumpus.. smtimes they take the long nap.. usually at around noon time to about 2pm..then wake up for feed..after tht continue to zzzzz...for another hour.
blissful, i tried..but very tiring to be giving 3 bbs playtime one after another... by the end of it..i m dead beat!
baby, yup..its the same spoon. i din buy the bowl..coz few spoons of cereal v little..i use the avent milk storage cups coz i hv many of it n din use.
my two boys can flip..and starting to learn how to "crawl".. they need slight support when seated..i put them on rocker with two small pillows at their back so tht they sit more upright when eating.
my eldest boy refused to sit or lie down during play time.. always wanna be held standing up! i hold him until my hands v tired.. yesterday i surrender.. put him into a walker! so he can "stand" and play... but i had to restrict his movement...dun want him to start going around knocking into things...

Pandwife, you have 3 is really not easy. So fast your elder son wants to "stand"
panda,
u noe today i let my mil take care of my ger while i go out for a short shoppin. i came back n found out tat she had fed my ger, but with 3 feeds!!! coz she din realised tat one milk powder container has 3 compartments n when she thot she couldnt get d powder out, she opened up d lid n pour all out! which is equivalent to 3 feeds, 15 scoops of powder!!! she used 150ml for tat!!! i only found out fr my instinct tat something must b wrong after my ger cried for a long time n refused to slp which she usually does. n traced back to d possible cause, initally she denied but later after realisin her mistake, she even dared told me my bb cried aft drinkin milk like she wanted more...
i have discussed with my dh n will not return to work but to be sahm liao. coz my mil really got no common sense n if not i probed her, i wldnt have found out tat my poor bb ger has been overfed!!!

Rose, Next time before you go out "teach" your in-law when to feed n how to make the milk etc. Every nite before I go out for dinner I will remind my mum how much to feed and what time.
How is your gal?
How is your gal?
grumpus, yes ..tht looks quite similar to my bbs nap times....but i tink mine naps more... as i type, they are taking their early morning power nap...
wanna ask u smthing.. my eldest boy ever since he learnt how to flip, doesnt wanna sleep on tummy anymore. everytime we put him to bed on tummy, in less than a minute, he flips to his back. and thru the night, he starts to kick. he will kick n slam his legs very loudly onto the mattress.. is this normal?? i dunno if its part of his development or due to his block nose now.

rose, OMG... U must have really gotten a shock! aiyoh.. but i can understand.... ermm..i dun use those container with more than 1 compartments.. i buy those multi tier ones that can be separated into individual containers and i label each one coz my bbs take different amts. even then, i avoid letting anyone else make the milk. if i hv to go out for short while, i plan it such tht i go immediately after a feed and come back before the next..
hope ur gal is feeling ok now...
blissful, my eldest is a fast learner among the three.. headache now.. i just bought an exersaucer for him to play.. seems more suitable than walker for now....

Panda,
Is normal. As bb get more mobile, they will choose whichever position they want to sleep. Both my girls slept on their backs at night and both kick n slam their legs during the night. It's sort if how adults toss n turn n change positions when sleeping.
But if the leg slamming goes on for very long or the legs go up very high, I will usually check on her. Cos sometimes it means she's got gas or a tummy ache. But most of the time as long as she dun cry or eh I will just leave her be.

actually i have oledi taught my mil how to make milk, just tat she never hands on coz she always say i know i know. n i oledi prepared d exact water quantity n milk quantity. never expect tat she can make such mistake. if as i am still using 125ml small bottle for milk, 150ml is to d brink. only aft i find out n asked her, she den tell me milk overflow...she always stand besides me when i make milk, how can she see but not know that she has made a mistake. esp when i returned n puzzled why there r milk chunks in d bottle n even till next feed, when i asked her do again, she still never let me know she has made a mistake n continued let me feed my bb. only aft i recall back n felt something wrong, n asked her if milk overflow during her makin of milk, den she got d guilty funny expression on her face. if she is honest n quickly let me know aft so many times of asking her, i wldnt hav fed my ger for d next feed n will monitor her liao. if next time i go work, she kept mum or thot she is right in doing certain things for d first time, den very risky esp my bb got some congenital health condition.
I wonder is it due to the fact im still wrapping them to sleep at night??? But during the day i didnt wrap them when they nap..
I tried not wrapping them at night.. They cant sleep.. Keep tossing and fussing... Once wrap them.. They wil fall asleep...
Sigh.. So difficult to wean them off...

No need to be in sequence la. It's more so bb get used to eating at a fixed time. Can even be evening.
The reason why books always say to intro new foods in the morning is so tat in case of any allergic reaction, it will occur in the day and u hv time to react rather than it happening at night.

Last time brought my #1 to similar classes like gymboree at 9 mths, she was the most uncooperative bb there. She would crawl to the door prefer to play with the latch on the door but she likes the gym activity time, think she was already too mobile for singing and exercise.
baby
Yes, once have eczema will have attacks few times a year, need to keep the skin moisturised, but spore weather is better for eczema sufferers cos quite humid.
Pandawife
Same here, bought him a walker yesterday, for the same reason, when want to carry always want the over-the-shoulder position. But he didn't like the walker leh, only 10 mins and he fuss.
I pick lunch time for starting solids, cos find that he naps longer after that, at least give me a breather. I gave him 2 tbsp today and he polish them all. Gave him some apple puree to try today also, gave me grimacing face.

Panda, Grumpus - your bbs very good, can nap for long. All my babies' naps are power naps! Lasting between 30-45 mins at best. My boy needs to be rocked, very hard for him to sleep long once I put him down in the cot. My girl can sleep without rocking but always seem to wake up at 35-45 min mark n cannot fall asleep again. End up having about 4-5 such naps during the day. They only last about 1.5 hours awake time in between.
Baby,
My bbs can't flip yet. They really dun like tummy time so I hardly do that with them. My girl can sort of flip with a little push from me cuz she is much lighter than the boy.
I think all bbs same style lah... Mine also love to stand when I carry them on my lap. They keep wanting to stand on my lap! Thinking of getting the exersaucer. Tried it at my bro in law's place, my boy likes it.

Bubbly bear my gal kept flipping during the class when the activity requires the baby to lie on their back. The other 2 babies are older than her at 5 mths plus, boys n they guai guai lie on their back. My gal wld also talk during the activities ... Very distracted loh. But I signed up a package as I think good for her to interact with other babies.

Fashion spree yes sign her up for gymboree play n learn. There is a trial class at $42 n the package for 12 classes is $490 plus. Btw I just found out there is another place called little gym at forum. They also have trial lesson at $40 plus. Maybe u can try both n see which is better.
Gymboree has level 1 NB to 6 months, level 2 6 months to 1 yr n so on. U can check out their website for the schedule of the class n call n tell them u want trial lesson on the day of their class

Rose, What to do just have to close one eye lor. As my parents are staying with me now so they don't let her give my son eat rubbish so she is not happy......
At least your mil feel guilt...next time before you go out "teach" her
Monitor your gal for a few days should be ok.
Gan, my gal never poo for 2 days and she was cranky yesterday my parents gave her the grip water within few hrs so poo alot. Have you try giving your gal ?
