Working wife/Pandawife/Gan, sorry! I didn't know there's a discussion on her height. My girl likes me to measure her height... She will stand against the wall and I will mark her height and write the date.
. She's really growing fast. Now her legs are long enough to reach the pedals, she can cycle on her tricycle but slowly. I hope she can gain back her weight.
Gan and Grumpus, thanks for sharing the brand. So what should I do now? I thought of calling Aprica and replace the harness but it sounds troublesome. And I am not sure if they have it. How much is maxi cosi?

I think u shd check if ur aprica is really at max length or not. if really max then get another car seat lor.
shd be able to use the car seat until 4-5yrs old. when we went to Sydney in may this yr my elder still used a car seat.
new car seat at least few hundred bah. the aprica can keep for #2

I bot the car seat for toddler at baby kingdom. Its locally made.. Spore brand. Only at $180. They have outgrown their maxi cosi infant car seat.
Working wife
Im still around.. Heee..
My new maid is coming next week... We have been coping without a helper for quite sometime... Hopefully when the new maid comes can ease the domestic chores.. She will do solely on hsewk and cooking our meals. Bbs will be taken care by me. Once my girls can adapt to her then will slowly let her handle... To ease her on bbs stuffs she can cook.. At least our meals are taken care off... We have been eating tabao food for quite sometime liao...
My girls getting naughtier each day! Lol... My elder keep bully my small girl.. Will push and hit her.. Will even bite her!
And now both refuse to be strapped in stroller... Always wartime when we are outside.. Both keep crying to be let down... Must give them food to munch to quieten them down.. Hopefully when they grow older they can guai guai sit in the stroller...
Btw are u using double stroller? Im thinking to buy city mini double stroller...

lately when changing diaper after my boy poo, when he see or smell his own poo, he will make the vomit sound. one time he even vomitted out all his dinner. he seems to be reacting to his poo!
any mummies experienced it? any suggestion what we can do?

Baby $250 is for 1N. Membership is free, it is for gamblers to get points. To me both hard rock n festive all ok, festive room is bigger,so u may have more space since u have 2 todds. They have a loft bed for children but our kiddos r too young to sleep in that loft bed. Hard rock pool is nicer but u can always go there for water play or swim if u stay in festive, they are within short walking distance.

Yr maid just left? How long u coping without a maid?

U handle yr trio alone at home after yr hb went to work? Possible?
Mahatten fish set? U mean fish and chips? Any vegetable?
Few days back i cooked dnr for my girls... And we tabao chicken rice for our own dnr... End up they ate chicken rice! Ate eagerly.. No need to coax or play toys... So easy to feed them! I realise they are getting bored with my cooking.. More interested in what we are eating..

I demo one time for her... Then i told her to write down in her own words in her notebook... Told her i will teach her different dish for a few days then will repeat the same dish next week. So she will do it on her own next week.. But of cos i will supervise her...
So far she is quite smart... Fast learner. Compare to the previous two maids.. She is the fastest in learning and picking up skills.

Now still too early to tell whether she is a good maid.. But the first few days impression is quite good... So i hope she will be a good one..
So far she is still adapting.. We also spending time to teach her.. At least she is fast in absorbing what im teaching..
Today taught her to cook abc soup for dnr. Stir fry green meadow, sliced pork with sweet peas, omeltte egg and luncheon meat. All simple dishes for her to follow...

U feed yr trio one by one or feed together? All sit on highchair? Or u run all over to feed them?
My girls always need to play with toys during meals.. Cant just sit and eat.. Sometimes even need to run with them to feed. I asked all my maids.. Their kids all sit quietly and eat. Unlike my girls... Probably cos their kids may not have enough food so by meal times they are too hungry. That leaves me wonder whether my girls are too spoilt...
Btw now my girls are eating our table food for dnr. They will eat what we are having for dnr since we are cooking... Lunch still boring porridge. How abt yr trio?

baby, i cant survive long term without a maid. its v v tiring physically to b taking care of the kids all by myself plus all the chores at night! just handling them alone takes up all my energy leh.
when they go cc i still need a maid. coz they will take sch bus to my mum place at 5pm. my mum n maid will help to get them fed and shower before i pick them up after work. and i also need maid to help w the chores at home plus get ready all the things for next day to cc.
i m now only cooking lunch for them. dinner we all eat outside food. no energy to cook both meals. but they still hv a pot of soup everyday..
i hv tried feeding one by one, 2+1 or even 3 together. there is no one fixed formula tht works for everyday. all depends on their mood. smtimes they can all sit on high chair eat together. smtimes they wanna watch tele tubbies n eat. smtimes they wanna eat in the kitchen! or they refuse to eat at all. lol....

Totally understand... Taking care of their basic needs and playing with them really zap out all the energy... By the time they oror at night.. Im usually like a zombie. Luckily now the maid is here i dont have to do much hsewk...
Now my girls also getting more picky on their food.. They prefer to eat outside food than my cooking... I guess they are sick and tired of my cooking.. Lol..
They end up eating our dnr instead... Like zhi char horfun... Chicken rice etc..

If dont eat means no food until next milk or meal. Training them for cc. Nobody will coax them to eat there. Too pamper during d times I hv 2 maids. Now I m trying to undo all the "bad" habits! I Oso no time or energy to coax coz I hv to feed 3. On good days they can eat half to 3/4 of them portion themselves. Tht makes it also easier for me.
Today kitchen close. Lunch buy salmon w rice from yoshinuya. Dinner tabao fishball Kway tiao soup. Morning took them for a swim. Afternoon before dinner we went to the librAry. By 830pm all KO coz v tired! Mummy Oso exhausted!!

My trio can self feed most foods either w hands or spoon. The problem w self feeding is they hv the tendency to play w the food while eating! Always a big mess for me to clear. Yesterday I had Kway tiao all over the floor n high chairs! And they will only eat foods they like. If dont like the food means they won't touch it at all! Still hv to feed.. Cannot totally hands off yet. Smtimes they also lazy n ask me to feed.
I try to tell myself, if they are hungry they will eat. If refuse means full already or not hungry.

Yr ones can self feed soupy food also? Like kway tiao soup?
My ones will self feed while i feed them at the same time. Give them a bowl and spoon and put some in the bowl to let them self feed... Also a mess after that.. Haha...
Are u still giving porridge? Im still giving one pot porridge for their lunch.. They seems to hate it... But thats the easiest to cook and feed.. Esp good when we rushing to go out. Usually done less than 10mins. If rice or soupy food will take longer.

Dear all mummy there,
My child stools was hard and she could go without passing motion for 4-5days. When she did, she would be crying really hard as if in pain.
Gave her papaya,prune/apple/kiwi/banana daily and force her to drink lots of water(at the time, she was the type who didn't like to drink water). I changed the milk from Enfa to Pediasure but after 3 months taking, constipation problem come back again.
Took her to PD, and the doctor prescribed a special formula for constipation baby (Novalac) and laxative. but it was still the same, she was totally dependent on the laxative. Only with the laxative, would her stool be softer.
I'm enough headache with this. Anybody can advise what should i do ? TIA !

Hi OEO,
What we did to our girl:
1) Temporarily double milk dosage at every feed, because milk powder contains lactose.
2) Fed her with apricot.
3) Make her exercise her bowels more often by putting her in her walker.
4) Make her drink lots of water.
5) If your baby's on rice cereal, try oat cereal instead, it was mentioned in babycenter.com.
It worked for her, her stools are softer now, sometimes creamy kind. Afterwhich we revert back to the usual milk dosage.
I'm not sure how old is your's, our's 7mth old so far and she's on Mamil Gold.

Hi OEO,
My girl also have the same problem since young. Even now, she still has this hard stool problem.
We change her milk powder to Mamil gold all-in-one and gave her blueberries. And this slightly improves her condition. At least she don't cry as much as last time. Did u try giving her water w fei zha shui inside? Or give her water using straw/ bottle?? Just to make her water.

last weekend go back see my cuties, heart-pain. She is so skinny now.. Now everytime saw the syringe which feed her medicine, cry and refuse to eat or she spit out all.. My neighbor yesterday came and help her to pass poo-poo using soap and cooking oil and she only can pass 3 big dry & hard stools.
Gan,
We haven't try dragonfruit, will ask my mum to try. Yes, we also dilute her milk by 4oz only put 1.5scoop milk powder but she ask for milk frequently. It is very obvious that put less milk powder she loss weight within one week.
Oh, i don't know gave more fruits will add up her poo if doesn't drink much water. Now i suspend she is too liang coz running nose & cough cannot recover.
Stefan/Skies,
My girl now 17months. She refuse sit potty, will try get up everytime and cry said 'mai mai mai'..
Yesterday just went to buy Mamil Gold step 3, try monitor these few day if have improvement. After 1yrs old, never give fei zhai shui. Now on 3 times Duphalac a days.
Also bring her see Chinese sin-seh, sin-seh said maybe 脾胃虚弱， give some chinese medicine and recommend eat green apple juice but not red apple.

Hi miracles my gal has very bad constipation problem around ur gal's age. She will cry and screM when poo.... Even bleed around the anus when she poo. I myself also feel like crying when I see her in such pain. Fruits are good ... I meAn fibre such as alot of green leafy vege like Cai xin, kai LAN etc. When u dilute also dun over dilute the milk. For me if 180 ml for 3 scoops of milk powder, I will put 190 or 200ml water.
Things I do to help my gal:
1. Bicycle her legs to exercise her . Exercise will help move bowels
2. Give kiwi, dragonfruit. These 2 are effective for her. Papaya also will help but my gal anti papaya so my mum will blend papaya with fresh milk to make her drink
3. broccoli has soluble fiber, so I feed her that.
4. When she poos And hard poo, I actually try to slowly use my hand to remove those poo I see that are pushing out of anus....usually once hard poo is out, the softer poo Will follow. I also use cotton bud put some vasline around the anus when she tried very hard to poo. But all these I do on my own Coz I am afraid others wld hurt her.
5. Skies Idea of introducing strAw will help as my gal drinks more with straw.
6. Cut Down on cheese
