7) Sunny & Kimberly (5mths)
8) Fittynut & Isaac (17mths)
Isaac gets a placing at My First Skool on June. Very happy! Hope he loves the place :>
BS,
Agree with Dor, feel bbsitter is beta than infantcare in terms of health issue. But infantcare probably experdite motorskill/social development bah. If not, parents got to do more simulation at home.
Miin,
Wah, you took 2 yrs to toilet train? Gosh...wonder if I ever have the patience, keke. But think when I'm desperate hor, will drill it xia..
dolphingal,
I'm not too sure if the float swimwear is suitable for infant. If it does keep them upright all the time, will be ok. Just afraid the float will topple horizontal easily and Sky might not be able to keep his head up.
For me, just bought thermal wear and a neck float (which Isaac dislikes) and str. to public swimming pool when he's 6mth old.
Mummies,
check out the public pool at Anchorvale CC! Like mini big splash. Very fun for esp older children.</font>

missed the part on sleeping in his own room. hahah he is still in our room but then on his own bed( actually got a convertable cot thinking to use it for the new baby but he took a liking to it so started to put him to sleep in it during the day and 'wah la' he took to it at night too..). now i got to either decide to get another cot for the coming baby or to use his old playpen first and then get another cot later.

favored, 2 yrs cos there was a lot of changes inbetween. we shifted from jkt back to sg, he settled in new ccc, moving hse, new baby..
strictly speaking he was only more ready at 3yrs old. dats when he really tells us he wanna pee and poo.
pre-3yrs was my initiative to get him started on potty and toilet bowl. after 1 yr of day time readiness, i finally got him to go diaperless when we go out n now at nite n in ccc.

"btw, I've extra packs of NTUC diapers (1) and pull up pants (1 or 2). I don't need to keep too many around now that my boy is toilet trained. Any mummies interested to take over?
XL sizes. anyone??"
if u koe anyone who uses ntuc n dun mind taking over, i can sell it slightly cheaper.. it's brand new n unopened. i actually have 2 more packs that are opened

Mummies, fyi melbern seafood @ tpy lor. 8 is under reno. Was thinking of mking rsvn for 2nite crab feast who noes its closed for reno hiaz...gotta go amk branch instd.
Re Infant/childcare ctr v Nanny/Bbysiiter, there r pros & cons i shld say, but after experiencing bth i personally feel that getting a reliable nanny/bbysitter is much better especially in terms of bb's health concern. Exposing them to motor skill i guess parents hv to do their part @ hm otherwise cld also tell the caregiver to teach. Social skill can pick-up by enrolling them in a enrichment classes.
Beautytan, how long do u intend to let this nanny look after ur 20mths old son. At this age they r waiting to go nursery hence i doubt if there's any bbysitter willing to tk-up unless for those who's oredi bbysitting for an infant/tods liao and dun mind tking-up another one. I have another bbysitter staying @ TPY North, she's currently tking care of a 9-10mths old tod and may consider, if you r interested pm me.

At home, she is not wearing diapers, will tell me when she wants to pee or poo.
But until now I still dare not to take the risk not to let her diaper when I bring her out.
I guess sooner or later I have to give it a miss since she is turning 3yrs old soon.

Precious, same here dare not let her go diaper free when we r out. But I'll prob try out for a short outing. Most important to let her finnish poopoo b4 going out. Guess i'll hv to constainly remind her while we r out and also bring a spare set of clothings to stdby haha!

same here precious, when i was training rasheed ard 2-3yo, i was pregnant.. where got mood/energy run to find toilet for him to pee. plus with the new baby, he became more attention seeking n frankly i din feel it was the right time for him. after my gal turn 6 mths, we started bringing him out after he pee for short distance.. cos we koe he wont pee again so quickly. n we bring along diaper in case he fell asleep or wanna pee but no toilet. we'll be wearing diaper for him anyplace, anytime.. haha
j foo, u good lei.. even have potty in car.. i dun hv car so cant bring potty along.. i bring extra diaper.. if he dun wan toilet, wear diaper as last resort.
initially a couple of times, he pee in his nap in the stroller.. so had to wash his stroller.. hehe

At this age, their bones are very flexible. And if they were to get injured, they heal faster than adults.

Just called the school: Skates with Us. They accept 3yrs old and above. They do conduct lessons every Sat 5pm at East Coast Park, non-accompanied but parents are allowed to see them as it is conducted outdoor. It is $80 for 4 lessons, 1hr duration each time. Is the price reasonable?
Pooh
Thank you for the info. Do you know how much they charge?

5 meals.. kekeke.. and still so small..my gal lagi worse, only has 3 milk feeds and 2 solid meals. she doesn't wanna have breakfast and she doesnt get hungry even 2hrs after a milk feed so i dun give her any snacks else it'll fill her up and she wont wanna have her proper meal. no wonder she's a little underweight.

My kids are on opposite poles - Beatrice, my daughter, who is 6 eats "properly" in the sense that she'll inform me that she's full and that's it. If she says that she's hungry then she really means HUNGRY! My son, on the other hand, eats non-stop and he doesn't seem to get full at all, and funny thing is, his size doesn't show that he has such an appetite. When my friends see him eat, they're like "he's gonna eat some more?!". He starts his meal before all the adults and when the adults finish eating, he's still munching away! Mind you, he's not really into sweet stuff, thank goodness. He doesn't really drink that much milk either (for a 2 yr old) but he likes his solid, from meat to veg to fruit to carbo.
wah.. j foo.. maybe he keeps them as reserve... hahaha
when i was young, i was also very skinny and my mum gave me the 'most nutritious' milk.. then nurse commented y ur gal so small.. so my mum switched the brand.. wah.. i started blooming.. haha.. after that nurse saw me again, y is your gal so fat now.. my mom was lost for words.. hehe

LIke Elijah's mummy says, I find the konfidence babywarma suit good. First time I took my girl swimming, water was cool but she didn't seem to be cold at all. Yesterday I took a day off and we were at TP pool. My girl was v happy in the pool for about 30minutes or so. To be v fair and objective, it was about late 3ish pm (after the rain) and the water was still warmish from the morning's sun. Whether weather or suit, but she didn't even sneeze once
I'm quite traumatised today. Sent my girl for haircut yesterday, the hairdresser cut soooo short! Even the teachers at her infantcare says that she looks like a different baby (and like baby boy!)...I introduced her as Timothy today instead of Kimberly :/

Oh i left about 1/2 hour not because she was cold. Just didn't want to overdo it. (She still slept the night away without waking up for her usual night feed! hehe) Also, left cos like 80 or so kids from Braddel Hill school came for their swimming lessons and were everywhere!
Wonder if we should have started her swimming earlier cos yesterday when we tried to let her "swim" underwater, she swallowed and was coughing out water. Not comfortable at all underwater tho she liked 'paddling'. I think she's lost the newborn baby's automatic ability to 'swim' in water. So sad.

By the way ladies, it's Rollerblading not rollerskating. Rollerskates is our generation. Now, it's blades
I just saw a Giant ad yesterday - selling this brand (forget the name - starts with an "A") which has extendable shoes so your kids can use longer. Giant was selling for about 27.90 per pair (at that price I'm guessing that it does not include the protective gear). You dont have to get the v ex protective gear cos unlike teenagers and young adults, younger kids dont go that fast so the impact is less.

I read that "Babies under the age of 6 months have a natural reflex which enables them to naturally hold their breath underwater." That's why you see a lot of babies (esp the angmoh babies) swimming underwater.

Hi Jasmine, what's the cost of 1 piece of konfidence swimwear?
Hi Ling
I bought for S$64 without discount (sob).
Dolphingal - yes, I wear swimsuit as well. Dont think you're allowed in the pool in non swim wear.
Sorry, not sure if gal was hungry after swim due to the swimming itself, as it happened to be her feed time right after the swim.

Thank you for sharing.
Will go Giant to take a look.
One additional good thing about the sch: Skates with Us, they have insurance for the kids, so we just have to pay extra $12 on top of the $80 for 4 lessons.
