hi elaine,

Hi mummies,
check if anyone encounter nose bleeding in children? Patrick had only a single incident 2 weeks ago, sleeping halfway then woke up crying with full of blood on nose. He was not having any cough, flu or heaty body during that time. And also no violent play or injury to nose. But lucky the bleed stop after few minutes, still scary to watch it.

hi babyethan,
oh yes, i am now 37 weeks, so counting down. Thanks alot.
hi elaine,
will deliver at kk. ZH also got nose bleed. I read that as long as not longer than 15 mins is ok, quite common in children and they will outgrow it. When told the school teachers, scare the hell out of them, hahahah...they panic and asked what is wrong. They thought was due to heaty body. But i warn them just in case happens in school. For ZH nose bleed during daytime, did it occur in school before?

Congrats to you
which cherie hearts do u want to put ur baby??
i've sign up e one at starhub green. now they are having promotion 1st 6mths 20% off sch fees then 50% off registration fees.(this is OCT/NOV promotion)
If 2 child there will get another 10% off sch fees for e 2nd one
.
Infant care is abit more expensive but as compared to elsewhere i think the cc is still quite reasonable.
join my children there la... since u r working there rite?? I heard e branch director says starhub staff will get a bit more discount

infant care subsidy is $600. not $300.
otherwise, can consider any other cc around katong/mountbatten rd wif infant care service since yr father is staying nearby, right?
i just realised that most of the parents there seems to work very short hours... can drop off children late and pick up early. sometimes i reached there at 6.15pm, only left a few kids. on days when i drop him off at 8.15am, also only a few kids. where got such lobang to work gd hrs? feel my boy like quite pitiful to go there early n be the last few to go home... hehe

hi babyethan and nuahcouple,
day time babysitter is $500-$600 but i am taking the day and night care, so baby will only be home during weekends. Yes, food provided too.
Hi babyethan,
If Ethan takes dinner after 8pm might be too late. Maybe you can ask teacher to feed him some snacks at around 6 plus or put some biscuit in his bag so that he can eat.
hi elaine,
i kiasu, searched for a nanny a few months ago, she's staying at kaki bukit. Distance wise still ok but will not be able to pick up daily so i still choose to put in day and night care. I told teacher Mei that i have been waiting for mmi to open infant care but still don't have. Then she recommend me shaw mountbatten. However my mom will not be able to handle both if i work late so infantcare is still not an option.

ya... i noticed a lot of children at MMI go home early. That's my concern when i was cc shopping the other time. they told me only a couple stayed until 7pm only.
small bell
oh i see... then $800 is quite reasonable. shaw mountbatten has infant care? do u know how much it cost? i'm thinking of infant care/ nanny ard that area as a backup plan for my girl.
Yes...Ethan's having his dinner in sch now until we move next mth. I'll cook in the morning n ask the teachers to feed him around 6pm. If not, by the time he reach home, he will be very grumpy n doesn't want to eat his dinner.

Yes. Have to wake up early to cook porridge, n keep in a food jar to keep warm until this evening. sometimes feel a bit paiseh that they hv do extra work to feed him dinner.
btw working mummies, do u all pick up yr child n go back to cook dinner for them? or what arrangement do u all hv? wonder if i bring him home then cook dinner, end up will be late too.

hi babyethan,
is ok to let them feed him. And the cc is good for helping out. Sometimes if i return home late, will have to get pack dinner, rice and soup or porridge. If cook dinner will be too late.
hi elaine,
ZH don't like piano? maybe temporary lost of interest. Perhaps just stop a term and continue again, he might like it again. i intend to do kumon at K2 stage, heard that it is more like tuition centre so no need to start so early. As for kumon materials, there are many bulk purchase in the forum so do keep a look out. Kumon materials are rather ex too.
hi nuahcouple,
i did consider the point but as working mom, really no choice. Tried searching for nearby babysitter but cannot find. And kids can be cranky in early morning, imagine toddler plus infant having problem, then for sure will be late for work. And if fall sick especially infant, that is another headache. But one plus point is that this nanny allow me to visit her house during weekdays. So if i happen to finish work on time or manage to take leave, then can also bond with baby. If hire a maid, i will be even more worried as nobody to check on maid during day time.
Berries is the chinese language school? my boy's chinese quite terrible, trying to find if any chinese enrichment center.
