Panda u mean when babies wake up crying, u pat them back to sleep? I am no sure how I can drop the night feed, coz my gal cries badly and she will go nai nai ( her Lang for milk) if I dun feed...
Grumpus, ever since the fidgets outing, I got confidence to bring Grace out, so now start planning some activities. I think zoo shod be fun. Btw u carry ally in the carrier when u go zoo or use a stroller?

my younger girl has been to Vivo n nex already. she had lots of fun. she crawled, walked with our support n sat on the ground.

for long outings like zoo muz hv carrier n stroller. if u dun want to bring stroller can rent from there. usually quite difficult for bb to sit in stroller or carrier for long so muz alternate.

Panda, yeah guess have to train... no choice already. Though I let them sleep together now, I think when training, need to separate them la.
So when Lucas woke up every hour, you just pat back to sleep? The problem is we are always so tired at night after a day at work. When they wake up, no patience to train them... just feed them milk and they will go back to sleep quickly. I always tell hubby, tonight we must try not to feed them. Then when they wake up, all our resolve goes down the drain... quickly go make milk for them and feed so that they can quickly sleep and we can sleep too. Sigh.... bad parents

grumpus u r right! if dun giv the milk he screams the house down. she tried giving him water, he took one sip n threw the bottle to the other end of the room n scream!
working wife, i totally can understand! coz even i stay home it was v tiring! my cousin who trained her bb boy at 4 mths before she went back to work kept motivating me during tht 3 weeks! she kept telling me to think of zzz thru nights tht i dun hv to wake up for milk feeds!
the stronger the bb character, the harder to train..coz they will just keep waking up to cry for the milk until they get it... but surprisingly, once after the 3 weeks, he totally zzz thru consistently.. never once wake up to cry for milk anymore. if he does wake up its usually nightmares or teething nowadays..

Ok I must motivate myself too. I keep thinking it has to end somehow, they r gonna be one year old soon! But now when they drink at night, they will stop at 60-100ml. So got chance I think... Seems like they r not so keen on the milk at nighttime anyway. Thinking maybe I phase it out by reducing the milk and then gradually stop?
Working wife..tht amount shows they r not hungry. It's habitual drinking. There r pple who switch to giving water n gradually stop. For me I just stop totally coz I hv 3 to tackle..need to train within the shortest duration. Otherwise physically I can't take it too...
Or u dreamfeed just before u go to bed. This is to make sure they fill up their tummy if they intake during the day is insufficient. Aft tht if they cry, u know it's not becoz they r hungry. 10-1030 is a gd timing. Not too late otherwise if u wanna zzz early oso cannot.

Panda, that day my babies ate without fuss cos I dragged their lunch time by half an hour. So they were hungry, that's why they ate. Also, when I have to feed them outside, I mKe their food softer and less chunky. Easier to eat and less messy too. Otherwise, they r the same as other babies la. Won't eat properly.
It's very interesting to see the different routines of all our babies. For my babies, I give them milk in-between lunch and dinner. Actually, I am trying to follow a feeding guide that picked up at Kk dietics centre. The basic guide is to feed something every 3 hours, milk or solids.
As for sleeping, I am still waking up to feed them milk at night. Only my 2nd girl sleeps through after last feed. But if she doesn't get enough food in the day, then she gets up for milk at night. I need to start training them to quit night feeds too. But becos I want them to pack on more weight, especially my boy, I just give the milk.

Fruitree, if I drag their timing they will cry for milk n refuse solids too!

I love the zoo, just abit humid so usually end up at the water play after the walks. Last trip I went there every week for the water play. #1 loves it. However, better not go school holidays, lots of people and the play area quite rowdy with the older kids, I had to follow #1 around in case the the older kids bang into her. Also had to queue for the toilets and hard to find seating area for the barang barang.Non school hols is good. Bathing bbs abit of a hassle, easier when they can at least stand and support themselves. But the walks around the zoo is nice, that time #2 was 4+ mths, he stayed in the stroller most of the time, abit hot and sticky although is shady so had to park under the fan or inside kfc when he sleeps. Other outdoor water play area, my #1 don't really like, don't know why, can't play long.
Grumpus
Indoor play i also followed #1 around, cos saw 1 boy fell with a big black eye, so got worried, got to bend the back all the time, need the next few days to recover from backache. I
headache next year when my elder starts preschool, had to prepare her morning tea and lunch to bring to school, cos it's
a 6 hr day. I think end up eating bread everyday for lunch...haha.

Actually both my girls love any kind of fruit... Every morning the fruit combo i make they will always finish..
I will try to mix a hard fruit with a soft fruit... So its easier to blend and the texture is just nice.. Example, pear with kiwi, apple with peach/plum... So on.. If both fruits if soft.. The puree will turn out to be too watery...

Bubbly what outdooR activities do u do with ur kids in austrailia?
Baby I didn't buy organic, just normal blueberries but I steam with the pears for 5 mins. This weekend will try fresh blueberries ... I have yet try strawberries. Fruits like kiwi, mango, I dun blend, just scrape with spoon from the fruit. But my gal doesn't like.... She is not into sweet stuff. So usually will use yogurt with the fruits to make her eat

Today twins just went for their first Gymboree class. They loved it! Great to see them mingling with the other babies... And best of all listening to instructions from the instructors!
wow, we have really come a long way.... Same time last year I remember I and Baby were in hospital controlling contractions... The rest of us still pregnant, waiting to see when we will deliver. Time really flies, and now, our precious are almost one, can stand and walk and can play independently at class.... This is the start of them needing us less now huh...
In jan, will be starting them on swimming lessons too. It's gonna be fun filled weekends for them!

Gan, we left at 245. There is 2 hrs play limit. We spent some time eating left an hour plus for the bbs.
Grumpus is right, the play area kind of small, wld prefer to go fidgets. No need worry about exceeding time duration. N they don't hv rides for the bbs to play. The balls pit too deep for the bbs as well...

K will check paragon ..grace has constipation, so let her eat blueberries good can help her pass motion but u r right abt the pesticide . For strawberries u just wash in running water? Do. Wash any of the fruits/ vege with pigeon cleanser?

Grace constipation is slightly better now... She is back to enfalac stage 1 at the advice of pd... Not sure if It helps. She takes yogurt alt days or once. 3 days coz I read cheese, yogurt can cause constipation too,avocado is good n he can eat 1/2 is very good. Grace used to like but lately not keen on avocado.
he is the only one tht likes to eat avocado as finger food plain. the other two i need to mix w sweeter fruits then they eat...

Baby, just now my gal ate bread and gag, gave a bad cough and quite a big piece was spit out. fruits like papaya, avocado, orange, i don't blend.
Panda, my mum has this thinking that baby can be taught. so whenever grace wants to tear or pull the pop ups, my mum will tell her 'bu ke yi' and after a few times, i think she understand....though sometimes she still gets excited and wants to pull. it's like crawling to kitchen, my mum kept telling her 'no' now grace won't crawl to kitchen. she will crawl pass the kitchen, takes alook and then continue to crawl to the rooms or other places but won't go into the kitchen. i leave it to my parents to teach my gal during weekdays. =p
