Stylobb, thanks. Went for trial at Berries before but somehow din really like the teacher. She got some strange chinese accent, and she can't control the class. The kids were making so much noise. So i gave up on Berries. I think speaking Mandarin to them is still best. But my kid din really take to it. A bit hard but still trying.
Agree that reading is important, that's why sending my kids to Liz Montessori for her enrichment class on phonics and maths. My son pick up phonics from her and already knows the sound from A to Z. That's why when he went Ak this year and he told me he is learning A B and C and the sounds and 1 to 5, I got a bit huh??? Dunno whether I made the right move to shift him to the mainstream kindergarten when he is learning so much from Teacher Liz.
I am not too sure if AK will prepare my kid well for priamry school. How does the other AK parents feel or any feedback for those whose kids have gone from AK to primary school?

Irene,
My fren's 2 sons currently P3 and P5. Both went TPMC but when elder can't cope with P1, she quickly pulled the younger out to PAP K1 cos the cirriculum emphasis then was towards holistic nurturing thru play.
Now that they have revamped the place, not sure about their cirrculum. You may want to check...

Newmummy08,
You may want to make it a habit for him to brush his teeth every monring and nite b4 he sleeps, this is also to prevent tooth decay after meal or milk.
Most important before you bring him to dentist dun portray an image tat it will be very scary. make it as light hearted and fun as possible. You may also prepare him beforehand by role play, each takes turns to be dentist or patient.
I'd prepared my gal then 3yo, before she visits the dentist by role play however, she learned fm my nanny tat it is painful and scary hence cried when she was there, sigh. Then again, the child might be prepared but situation changes when one reaches the clinic

Car Seats
Wanna ask mummies who have 2 kids on what arrangement do you do for car seats? (Erm yeah I'm expecting No 2)
<font color="0000ff">Option 1</font>
I was thinking of getting an infant car seat that can take up to abt 9 mths, then upgrade No 1 to a booster seat & let No 2 take over No 1's present car seat. But not sure if No 1 can manage to grow enough in time to be upgraded. And what if No 2 is another big baby & outgrows the infant seat ahead of schedule?
<font color="0000ff">Option 2</font>
The other alternative is to get another car seat like No 1's for No 2. Then when No 1 is old enough, upgrade him to the booster seat & thrash the car seat. But this would be more expensive than Option 1 right?
What's the min for booster seat - weight or age? And max for infant seat - weight or age?
And how do we disable the airbag for the front passenger seat? Just send to the agent?

We bought two car seats which are suitable for infant babies till 6-7yrs old (up to 40kgs). You may want to get this range. I sold away the infant car seat and toddler car seat. The new car seats, allow them to sleep comfortably as the seats can be adjustable. They call it 3-in-1 or 4-in-1 car seats

I have one of those 3-in-1s that you mentioned. Been using it from newborn till now (20 mths). I think it's suitable for up till 4 yrs old, if I remember correctly.
I guess the infant car seat isn't very useful since it can be used for only 9 mths? Hiaz.. dilemma..

Congrats Jul!
Car seat:
I m using e infant from #1 for #2 currently..
#1 has a car seat that can set till 4-5yr old..so may hv to upgrade #1 to use booster seat after #2 outgrown her seat.think this is a better option coz if u buy 2 car seat then may end up no place to put e car seats as they r quite bulky...
That's ny opinion..hope it helps...

That was why I sold the infant car seat when he was 4mths old as he outgrew it. He is tall.
Just remember I also sold the booster seat and it did not have 5-point harness. For safety use, that was why we bought the one which has 5-point harness and easily for her to sleep comfortably than to sleep uptight, which might injure her neck

With the two car seats, that was also why we did not bring the helper with us on weekends. Car is too small as we all have long legs, helper has long legs too

Hi Jul,
Congrats!
I got a hand-me-dwn infant car seat for my gal and she outgrown it when she's 1year plus. Subsequently, we got her a new one tat can last till she's 6-7yo. I got a hand-me-dwn booster seat as well but hardly use.
Terence,
My gal now 4yo is with Jessin CC or they call it Playland. They do not operate on Satudary fyi.
So far she likes the place. The Tr. incharge Tr. Mei Fan is responsivie and understanding, my gal respects and likes her a lot.
My gal goes to Jessin CC after school and usually they'll hv lunch, nap, thereafter the trs. will have some activities with them till 5.30pm-6pm. Is free play till 7pm.

Re : Car Seat
I think I've made up my mind to get the 6 yr old car seat & upgrade my No 1. Then No 2 can have his car seat. Then when No 1 gets older, get the booster seat. So I end up buying 3 car seats in total for 2 babes hahaha
Forget abt the infant seat liao. If No 2 is big like No 1, then I dunno if I can get half a yr's use on the infant seat. Too bo hua

newmummy,
my 4mo boy had a lot of phlegm when he was sick at about 1mth+. his PD suggested that i give him either soy based or hypoallergenic milk like nan HA. i tried soy 1st but he didn't like the taste so i let him try goat's milk instead of nan HA becos the latter causes the stool to be very smelly. however, i found that goat's milk somehow didn't help in reducing the phlegm hence no choice but let him try nan HA. he's been on it for about 1mth+ and i find that it helps quite a lot. so far not much phlegm. if u wanna let your boy try soy based i have some samples for your boy to try. as for switching milk, add new milk powder 1 scoop at each feed one day at a time so that your boy gets used to the taste gradually. if you wanna let your boy try goat's milk and u wanna continue then i know of a place that sells them much cheaper than supermarkets.

Hi Ivy,
I'd read remarks in this thread about PD Dr. Heng and seems like she's famous of asking patients to go bk for reviews and charges are more on the higher side. Some may find her good and others may not.
I would rather visit norm GP some are quite good with tods or just change another PD.
