I totally understand what u mean abt bringing IL to hol. but if I say straight out like dat to him - sure kena scolding
. As he wouldnt like to go hol with my parents, i kinda use that as a basis why I woulda want to go with his. Furthermore, his would likely wanna go everywhere together whereas mine would let us go off on own.
xbliss
all the best! yup lovely to spend time with kids although tough at times. kinda worried how to juggle now SAHM + work.

try nestle plain rice cereals..then can slowly add carrot, broccoli, potato, spinach, pumpkin,etc all mashed up into the cereals. then can go onto brown rice cereals..if u r lazy to grind the rice cereals urself, can always get these. then add own ingredients..equally good. when bryan is bigger, then cook normal porridge 4 him. can juz dump into slow cooker & cook, no need to stand at stove 2 watch fire
daec/didi,
we went with my parents, together w ws & my sis for 2 hols & the last 1 was pretty bad..ws q sticky to my mom & hubby not 2 happy. since then, the 3 of us have gone 2 more hols on our own & frankly, we enjoyed ourselves much more. maybe i only need to take care of 1 baby, whereas if bring parents, i hav to take care of 1 baby + 2 old pple..but if given a choice, of cos i wan to brin my parents cos they had put in so much effort to help & take care of ws.. esp when me/hubby sick, they r always there 2 help out. on the other hand, wat had my IL did? nothing! whenever we are there & when my nephew not there yet, they'll 'enjoy' playing w ws, but when the boy come, they will 'forget' abt ws..c the diff??

jaslyn,
i am really not sure but bryan does need us to carry and pat pat him to sleep outside at times when he is tired. we do that for a short while then put him in his stroller and he can doze off already. i thought we could do without a sarong, but really lor, we tahan ard 3 months, every night he start screaming and crying and refusing to sleep even when carried!!! too much for us, tk goodness for the sarong. i think he like the rocking motion and also the sarong wrap him feeling of security. til now he at times still wans his sarong. in the day when mil care for him, she will put him in sarong to sleep. once asleep, she will off. at night, he sleep with us on the bed.

we even put bryan to sleep on his front.. that worked too. but i know we are not supposed to, cos it is sort of linked to Sudden Infant Death syndrome.. but no choice. we monitored him closely by waking up regularly lor...

all bb r recommended to take solid food (ie. cereals) frm 6mths onwards, cos frm birth to 6mths, of cos breast milk is best, if not, normal milk shld b sufficient. oso, it's said frm 6mths onwards, their digestive system r better, tat's y better to wait till 6mths then start solids. but nowadays, many parents started solids frm 4mths onwards, or when bb can hold their heads upright.

not sure exactly where, those big shops shld have.its more depend on the material. touch and c.mine is the normal type, but so many years become soft already so just follow weight. memory foam is gd too - it suppose to follow ur weight, shape. some use those natural fillings like buckwheat husks. have to shop and looksee

Thu, Jan 31, 2008 (HealthDay News) — Long known to help prevent birth defects, folic acid may also help prevent premature births, new research suggests. In a large study that included almost 40,000 women, a team of U.S. and Irish researchers found that women who took folic acid supplements for a year or longer before conception had a 70 percent decreased risk of preterm birth between 20 and 28 weeks of gestation.
The March of Dimes recommends that women take 400 micrograms daily of folic acid before becoming pregnant, and continuing to take folic acid throughout the pregnancy.

Hello Mummies, down with mcs for two days. I think I am the champion in my school total of 8 days mcs so far.
Anyway, just got time to glanced thru the posts.
DM, dash also has blocked nose for past few nights, and would wake up with his blocked nose crying.
Btw, my boy is opposite, he is very very close to my in laws who spend more time looking after him. My mum gets lazy sometimes.
didi, talking about pillows, my in laws are good in sewing them, so she made all my boy's pillows, and now he has one favorite pillow, that he will start looking for it when he wants to sleep. He will refuse all others, even though they look like the pillow he has. He just wants that particular pillow and he has even nibbled holes at the edges.
Bloom, why kath needs speech therapy? she is still so young.
daec, I also dun like to spend on holidays like a few thousands to go far far places. Like my mum and sis who spend over 6000 to go europe, I rather spend on something else or save it, cause I felt that going overseas is just seeing their country, and after that, nothing back.
Hi mummies, talking about whether working or staying at home is better, I think I rather stay at home. I feel that I am beginning to lose my passion in teaching, and I really need a break liao. I am planning to go on no pay soon, so daec will be joining you as a SAHM. I am really planning to do so soon, taking a break, and see if I like to be SAHM. Maybe if I can survive, next year, I will consider to resign, and change to kindergarten teaching or other jobs.
Everyday I go work now is so sianzzz. It is not the school, I feel that I just lost my directions.
I really need a long long break now to think what I want.

That's great that u are taking a break to see what u wanna do. Think it will help a great deal.
I also feel like I lost my direction as if the last 5-6years - dunno what I did with my life, personal growth I mean. My last day is 8 July - honestly, I am scared. coz wont be financially independent anymore. if the biz dun work, I have to find other jobs/means to pay for the hse. I really dun want to work fulltime while Nada growing up.part time is ok though. c how it goes. have to take this jump to change my life.
re hols: me like ur sis & mum. u're like my hubby hehe
I like to experience diff type of life/env. go other country - 'forget' abt SG and stress. know what is paradigm shift? forget what is familiar. come back, refreshed and relook at the same things that I face everyday with fresh eyes, new perspective. can be much more productive and have fresh ideas. that's what I like most abt hol. I dun really like to shop though.shop in SG gd enf for me. prefer scenic, NEW places. I sienz go same places too often.

I really dun want to work fulltime while Nada growing up.part time is ok though. c how it goes. have to take this jump to change my life.
re hols: me like ur sis & mum. u're like my hubby hehe
I like to experience diff type of life/env. go other country - 'forget' abt SG and stress. know what is paradigm shift? forget what is familiar. come back, refreshed and relook at the same things that I face everyday with fresh eyes, new perspective. can be much more productive and have fresh ideas. that's what I like most abt hol. I dun really like to shop though.shop in SG gd enf for me. prefer scenic, NEW places. I sienz go same places too often.

we bought a bottle of nose drop frm guardian pharmacy. then my SIL saw, commented tat it's the same prescribed by her pd. think it cost abt $6 a bottle. ws' block nose is better. but still got wheezing sound. last nite turn on air-con when she was drinking milk..but when falling asleep, can hear the wheezing sound arldy. so hubby say 1 more nite of non air-con.. soo hot
ya, prob u need a break. a real break, rest & find out wat u r really interested in. then u'll feel recharged. even if u resign, think u still can work as part time, like tution? own time own target. u can do it when dash goes to sch. at least still got some income

Jane,
aiyoh, think you better bring to play safe but if he didn't ask then don't give, maybe you can wean him off that
get those bags something like vaccum bags just that meant for travelling so you can just fold instead of vaccuming
tell you something actually I also horrible there was a tiny bear that my dad bot me when I was about 12 when we went to hkg, I am sort of attached to it more as days goes by, so whenever we go for holidays I will bring it along, worried that it will be scared alone,...See me very childish so NO, I won't laugh at you

Jane,
The kind I mentioned are those that you don't need a vacuum cleaner just roll will do, you can check it out at Robinsons, these are for travelling, putting into suitcases
I enquired about them last mth when I need to spring-clean my home and needed those bags for the guest's pillows and comforter and my winter clothings
there are some that comes with a very portable devices that can 'suck' out the excess air, I went to Raffles City Robinsons
