Newmummy, whether you train now or later, the screaming and crying will come in sooner or later. The longer you drag, the longer you and your hubby will have to "suffer". Just bear it for a week and you should get some, if not the full results. Sleeping (and all else) is a matter of discipline. I'm the type who will strongly believe in discipline. There are things which I can give a freedom of choice but some things must instill early so that at a later stage, not so difficult for the parents.
Primary school reg - all those who are interested in entering the school, regardless of distance will register. Pei Chun actually informs those who are not within 1km not to bother IF they already have those staying within 1km taking up all the spaces available. Last year, there were about 120 applicants (ALL within 1km) balloting for 60+ places.

Hubby can't help much, as I'm still latching him at night. It has been many years that I only sleep 5-6hrs per day

How tall is C? The outdoor theme park is limited to min height of 107cm for those more adventurous rides. My boy is standing 76cm, hence he enjoyed so much for those family rides. Other rides, with min 122cm, my girl were not allowed to ride and she got so disappointed that she cried a couple of times.

Newmummy, if you guys end up quarreling then no point. Guess you and your husband will have to bear with this until your son himself decides to kick off this habit. For me, I definitely can't take it for so long, so I do it the "cruel" way right at the start.
Ivy, you can try local brand Lucky Baby.

My girl is coming 22 mths. I been having this sleep problem with her for the past few months also. Basically, it's coz of different caregivers who put her to sleep. Used to be only me every night. But as I am pregnant now, so MIL and helper will help to put her to sleep. Plus I think my girl has also "grown up", become a naughty and active toddler now that her motor skills are better, she wants to climb out of cot, wants to walk ard in the room (in the dark). We put her to bed at 9.30am, she will sleep only close to 11pm. Has been like that every night for past few months. Sigh. Yes, it's tiring to put her to sleep. What we try to do now is to tire her out. After her afternoon nap, bring her outdoor, let her run and climb, exhaust her. She will take a shorter time to fall asleep (45min? to me, v good alr). My frens all told me it's a passing phase and there will be a day when they will become sensible and sleep by themselves. I am still waiting for that day to come.
Agree with jfoo that we shld be strict. Sad to say, MIL does not buy this idea of letting the kids scream and cry, said will hv "wind". Then I will get nagged for the next 1 week.
Sigh. I always tell my frens, life was simpler without kids. Yes, kids bring us a lot of joy, but when in laws are involved with the taking care and there's conflicting views, we sometimes hv to give way to the elders. Hopefully, with my 2nd one due in nov, I wld really want to take charge of the "training".

Ivy,
I got my high Chair when my baby was about 7 mths. It's called Bloom Nano from Mothercare. Though it's quite ex but then it's very comfortable and my gal can sit in it for 1-2 hours while I do my chores in the kitchen. Especially I have no helper, I found my high chair a great investment. Saved me a lot of stress n time.. Comfort is an important factor.

Ivy, if your kid like mine (i.e. cannot sit still, likes to climb everywhere) maybe you try looking for the old fashion rattan "baby" chair... my little monkey was given a lovely high chair for her 1st birthday. But she refused to sit in it for too long. Maybe with all the padding, it was too hot if no aircon, or probably she just doesn't like to sit. But she would wiggle out of the 5 point harness and keep standing up and even trying to "step out"! We gave up on the high chair after a while and went back to the old fashion rattan one. Nowadays, she quite happily climbs into the rattan chair herself when it's "makan" time, and then out again by herself when mealtime ends.

ivy... my ger used the lucky baby high chair till she outgrew it @ ard 5YO. we like this particular model cos the seat is big (ah ger fat bum bum ma), but the cushion is nice and comfy, rubber cover oso easy to clean & not as hot as cloth, cos my ger sweat a lot. my niece also uses the same, and she cant climb out once the tray is put on, so tat keeps her in till end of meal. i like the big tray also, i used to put lots of toys there to entertain ah ger.
this is the model. http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/BN-Lucky-Baby-Deluxe-High-Chair-/190425409703?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_216&hash=item2c563d28a7#ht_1060wt_911
think so far AMK NTUC seems to sell the cheapest, think cheaper than kiddy palace.
for bdae, if the venue is a popular one (like those kids playground type or come condo function room) better to book once you confirm date, esp if weekend. cake abt 1mth in advance is gd enuff, unless you buy from those make from hm, then gotta book their slot in advance. i read a lady was booked 3 mths in advance cos her cupcakes are really popular. is B feeling better?

ikea bby highchair comes wif tray it sell separately.
the bby rattan chair is good but out grown v fast. it comes wif a mini tray table.
1yo celebration venue depending on how popular the place is. for me i reckon to have a simple one since your gal is just 1yo. wait till she turns 2-3yo tat's the time the kid really know wat is going on and starts to enjoy the company (children ard her age). ordering of cakes 1 or 2 wks in advance from cake shop shld be sufficient.

precious,
wat is the blk of faith clinic? i'm trying to look for a GP who is good with kids around TPY.
my gal is down with high fever and cough since last night so brought her to see her usual PD but i find that dr heng is a bit overboard with her diagnosis. she did a test on my gal to see if she has any viruses like h1n1 and tested positive for something related to h1n1 so my gal was given tamiflu. and the test itself costs $80. my gal is also prescribed antibiotics and i was strongly adviced to nebulise her when i feel that her cough is not so serious, just give inhalor puff at most should be enough in my opinion. then next day gotta go back for review and maybe have to go for chest x-ray. just today the medical bill is already $307! my hb and i can't take the exorbitant medical bill liao.

char... agree some PDs are overly cautious. my ger used to visit a PD, everytime cough give neb. then i stopped and returned to her docs in kk, they always give puff only. recently, she was wheezing when i brought her to GP, so she suggested i bring her in to kk A&E. even at A&E, they oni give puff, but crazy dosage of 10 puffs x 3 rounds. i asked why dun juz giv neb, but they say neb is for some special situations, and they dun giv unless puff doesnt work. weird, but since there are more than 20 kids who are given puff @ A&E, i suppose this is workable?? and neb is so ex! need to rent the machine somemore.
ivy... glad to hear B is well. erm... if someone giving pressie, maybe you get a "better" one if no budget so can last longer, as in till ger is much older, and also keep for #2??
