Hi Jo,
Hope you r getting better. I'm similiar to but not that serious. Remember I mentioned, Ryker had been sick for 2 weekends, & he spread to me on last Monday... when I came to office, my whole body was soooo aching with slight fever, I can't bear the pain anymore went to see co. doctor & told MC. Sleep the whole day, dared not to be close by Ryker since he was recovering. So sad, he kept wanting me to carry but i didn't I think if all of us sleeping the same room, the tendancy spreading around is high. Pls take care. |

wah.. our thread is really quiet these days..
hmm.. went to Jurong point yesterday and today,..
yesterday to reserve a munchkin rubber duckie tub and today went to collect cos forgot my voucher..
had an arguement with one mom.. kinda really pissed when moms are using the very limited nursing room to bottle feed.
Bree was crying for milk while we queued for our turn for the nursing room at the new extension..
when one of the door opened, a mainland mom held a milk bottle.. i was pissed and asked her if she is feeding bb with bottle in the room.. she said she bf first then continue with bottle.. she asked me what's the diff with feeding bottle in the nursing room and out of nursing room?
wah.. i don't know why.. i kinda blew.. we had 3 bb queuing waiting to nurse..
she actually told me off.. do u expect me to come out and give my bb the bottle?
I told her YES!! if there is no one waiting for the room.. by all means.. if there are 3 hungry bbs outside.. its social courtesy to come out once she finished nursing and let others have the room or ask her hubby to come out and offer to share the room.
she even asked me if i would do the same if i am in her situation.. bf in the room then come out give bb bottle.. i told her Yes!! cos there are hungry babies out there waiting to be fed!
she said "ya .. ni Hen wei da!! wo ke mei you ni zhe me wei da"
Translate: ya.. you are very great.. i am not that great..
i answered her back and stared at her hubby. " Shi! wo hen wei da.. ying wei wo zho le ren jia de Ma Ma!"
kinda answered her.. ya.. i am very great cos i am someone's mom!
her hubby paiseh.. dare not look at me.. think hubby Singaporean la, he knows what i meant.
then i heard her mumbling while i was nursing in the room. If i know this will happen, i won't breast feed here. Maybe she didn't expect me to talk back when she yelled at me.
I was thinking to myself.. "ya ya.. please dun come here anymore" really feel like talking back again..
Damn sian when we encounter ppl like that..
not all mainland china moms are like that.. ever met nice ones and i do offer them wipes or diaper cream if they forgot or ran out.
just my luck today.. |

Lenny,
The week before wesak holiday, while in the NTUC Fairprice (AMK), my pram almost being stollen by a china mum!
My husband go away to look for his things & ask me to wait for him with baby in the trolley, & the pram. I was attracted by the Mamy Poko promotion ($19.90/pk) & comparing de price with other diapers..then decided to buy 1pkt Mamy Poko. Then I was looking at the baby biscuits & talking with bb Jo, asking which 1 he wants, etc etc..and came a mummy carring a baby with sarong.
She squad down & seems like searching 4 the Nestle millet. She took out many tins of the millet & seems like it was falling out from the shelf. I saw her squading n picking up de tins while carring a baby in a sarong seems not convenient for her, so i squad down & help her to put the Nestle tins back to the shelf. Am happy tat she say thanks.
After that I get up and continue looking at the different types of baby cookies/food. Suddenly the promoter of Mamy Poko came to me & telling me to get another pack of Mamy Poko saying cheap bla bla bla, then i say ok & get another pk. My husband returned with his things n only at this time i realized the pram is not around. I asked if the pram was with hubby but hubby said he asked me to take care of it..both of us was shocked & realized that our pram has been stollen.
We quickly tip our toe & look ard, from far we can see our Blue Capella just near the cashier counter. My hubby quickly run over to the pram. I saw him asking back for the stroller from a women. The women turned & to my surprise it was the mum carrying de baby in sarong which I help her just now!!
My hubby returned & told me "she" is a China women and she say the pram is hers! My bag(which contain wallet, Canon camera & hp) was in the basket under de seat.My hubby said it was ours cos tat is our bag. The china women say, "oh I tot its mine!". How can she mistook other ppl's pram & tot its hers? Our pram even got a very huge toy tied in front of de pram, how can she cant see de difference?? |

Re: Digging
Starflower, I'm also not sure why Shayna often likes to dig her belly button, especially when she's lying down, bored or about to go to sleep. Maybe it's just a bad habit that makes her feel shiok. Now, I put her back in rompers when she sleeps. She also likes to scratch her mosquito bites till the skin tears and pick the scabs over and over. *shakes head* |

room hogging seems pretty common. once i waited 40mins for the bf room at vivocity. i could hear new born cries so i thot give the new mum a break n not knock. when the door finally opened, i almost flipped. 2 grown men and 1 lady with baby walked out. what were they doing that needed 45mins? and i do not know of any mums who will breastfeed with 2 grown men in the room! but i didn't question them cos i was already so harassed by an unhappy baby. on hindsight should have told them off.
pram stealing .. wow that woman thinks all singaporeans easy to "eat" is it? so horrible. it's people like her that makes others wary of china folks. |

I also have problems finding a nursing room so I usually just use my nursing bib, find somewhere to sit and feed anywhere. Unless they stipulate a feeding time limit and the house rules for the rooms, it's hard to debate how they go about using the rooms unless it has nothing to do with babies. |

Don, yes from now onwards, I must not have the mindset that "Singapore is a very safe country. No ppl dare to steal my things in the day!" |

Fireangel..
I think its really an irony or these men who marry PRC really deserves it.
They had the impression that Singaporean women want equality and wanted more "submissive" women so they venture elsewhere to get a wife..
Ya.. many PRC women are submissive before marriage.. then after that... show their true colours.. Good for him!!! made a really good choice!!
Ya.. These PRC women Really know how to choose...
the one i met that pissed me off is those like the auntie type not the younger generation ones.
I have met many younger PRC moms who married SG man.. they are much, much nicer |

Re: Digging
Ryker also used to dig his ear when itchy, most likely because when washing his hair the water got into his ear, which caused itchy. I usually will smell whether his ear is smelly or not, if yes, which means water got in. I will use cotton stick to clean for him. |

Jo's Mommy,
when she came near you.. is she pushing a stroller?
If not.. you could have challenged her and called for security
make sure ppl like that get sent back to their country man!!
What kind of a mom is she.. using her bb as a PROP to get away.. |

Re: Digging
My boy does that too. But I dun dare to use cotton stick le. The PD once comment that is not advisable to use on baby because the dirt will been push deeper. The dirt will come out by itself. But I duuno now that he is 1 yo, can use or not.
Sometime I will help him to ease his itchyness. Very cute seeing him digging his ear. hehe...
My personal experience with the PRC woman especially, they are very daring! They will do anything to get it. This woman just snatch my clothes when I was paying at the counter. The sales boy told her I am buying it, she still dun want to return and keep touching and wanting to try. The sales boy have to tell her a few times before she "convince" that it is mine. |

Yalor, never left your baby in the pram unattended. Not only if BB been stolen but also BB might fall out of pram. My hubby sometime does that. Sigh~~ guys do not have sense of dangerous one.. Maybe we always think that SG is safe. |

agree that (some) men dun seem to have a sense of danger. hubby will let little boy run around in a crowded place or sit him high on his shoulders when he was 4 months old. even the teachers at little gym got a shock n hinted it was dangerous loh.
sg is not as safe as we tink. the recent case of pple being hacked at kallang made me very worried as i travel through that area almost everyday. |

re GuG (old topic..)
i finally understand why so many mummies, even my best friend, said it was chaotic. last friday i brought my boy for make-up class and it was the worst class ever. there was a mum who is oblivious to others - putting herself and her girl in the middle n blocking the rest, a few babies actively disrupting the class n parents dun restrain them and poor teachers who keep saying "parent please hold on to your kids". and babies being babies, it is monkey see, monkey do. even my boy who was initially very zen, stoned out n can't be bothered decided to be a naughty boy. class was noisy, over crowded and totally chaotic. if that was my trial class, i would have wrote GuG off!
that being said, i'm glad my boy's regular class is not so crazy so we're still continuing with them. phew! |

Yes, I've learnt the lesson! I will b more careful of my belongings now.
Missy, I just cant imagine that ppl would dare to steal a pram, a pram ler in the supermarket! I always told my husband "Don't worry, nobody would dare to steal in the daytime. Sg is not same as Msia" But after this incident, I've change my mindset. |

don - thx for the info on GUG. stil contemplating if wana go trial this sat or not. lolx. went for bibinogs trial. so many things happening in that 1.5hrs.. not sure if they learn or not.. the good thing is, the class was super small! 3 of us were on trial. 2 were regulars. thats it. lolx. started with playing toys. then sing song. dancing. painting. more singing n running ard n zoophonics. snacks. then chinese session. by that time, the kids were restless n all over the plc. lolx! but the chinese teacher (PRC) was very passionate and loud. not sure if kirs understood becos we dont speak chinese to her.. think she only understood the "zai jian" becos they were waving.. lolxxx...
i wonder if other classes are like that... everything is like 10-15mins... hmmm to suit the short attention span of the kids? |

re: ear digging
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE ANY COTTON BUDS INSIDE EARS. The no. of people whom I have seen in my experience with babies/todds/kids and WORST of all - ADULTS - with cotton buds stuck, bleeding ear canals, YEARS worth of impacted earwax because a cotton bud just pushes it in further, repeated infections is unbelievable. If a baby or a todd is digging their ears all the time, the possibilites to think about are:
1) Is something irritating him? If so, could it be:
a) earwax stuck
b) generally dry, itchy skin in the ear canal
c) glue ear http://www.ent4kids.co.uk/Glue_Ear (watch for a reduction in hearing if this is the case)
d) impending/brewing ear infection
2) If all the above is excluded - ie it's just behavioural, then PLEASE KEEP AWAY THINGS THAT THEY CAN INSERT INTO THEIR EARS eg. breakable stuff, sponges that they can rip off, beads, peas, etc etc ESPECIALLY small batteries that can leak and cause a chemical burn. It's very traumatising for them to have a foreign body removed from their ear if its well stuck inside - they may end up having a general anaesthetic for it to be done if it's difficult to get it out while they are struggling.
PLEASE BE AWARE!!!!!! |

our babies do learn.. from 0 mths to 6yrs if memory serves me right.. their photographic memory is really good.
although they cannot tell us what they learn but they do absorb what they see, hear, smell, touch and taste.. |

missy.. ya each segment of class is short cos our kids do not have long attention span yet. i think small class size is good for the kids but i often wonder how they earn money if class size is always small?
as for learning, the toy play in the beginning i believe is for warm up and to wait for late comers. my boy is learning well even thou lesson is short. seems the repetative songs n phonics is helping him remember stuff. he can point out stuff, repeat actions, vocalize phonics n words etc.
agree with Lenny they have photographic memory. our babies are all sponges ready to absorb what the world has to offer. |

Riverie..
I have not decided yet but i have signed up for PlayClub in Term 4.
I am going for the 9.00am session or the 11.30am session. thinking its better cos Bree starts her day at 7.00am anyway. Its only fair to her to start her day early since her bedtime is 7.00pm.
might as well get her used to this cos when she goes to Pre-school, they will start the day early as well. |

wow just came in thread to read..
so happening,
lenny: good job. i would do the same if i meet the PRC lady.. heh heh
jo's mummy: ur experience at ntuc is so scary.. reminded me not to leave my belongings all over my stroller too. i always leave my wallet at the stroller pocket. :| i will sure get it from hb if its stolen bcoz i left it there. i better remind myself not to leave it there anymore.
thanks for sharing!!
oh ya, tristan also loves to dig.. dig his navel, mine and hb.. so painful. i try all means not to let him dig coz when i was young i did the same thing as him and i had a pretty bad infection navel.(abt 5yrs old) so now i also have phobia abt him digging my navel. haha. he also like to touch his birdie when changing diaper. i will smack his hands ... any sharing abt touching birdie?
oh yaya , tristan dad changed his FM to enfalac thinking his constipation is due to FM. so now still in the midst of transition. will update again on the constipation thingy. |

Re: Childcare
do u know if the childcare centres expose kids to watching TV program? coz the childcare that tristan most probably will go to, does that. and im not quite ok to the idea. in fact im those i hate myself for exposing him to tv. but distance is another crucial factor for me coz i have to send him sch before i go to wrk and i wrk at 830am.. and also worrying about heavy rains in the morning.. now this centre he is going is only 2 blocks away from my place. |

hi mummies..
Lenny-> just cannot understand why the PRC mummy so bu zhi lian ci one..when I was at ICON waiting for the nursing/baby room. I head laughter and talking inside. To my surprise, 3 little girls inside doig their make up. *faint* but they did apologise after that.
Jo-> at times I will also forget and left bb aside and look at other things but once i left bb's drinking bottle outside and hubby scolded me very jialat until I was so pissed I told him off...hahah cos it's me who bot the bottle leh he didn't even buy it.
Digging
hmm my boy do that too but because his eyes are itching..my mum do dig it in circular motion and could see the cotton is yellowish lor.
Missy

Don,
i went for GUG trial last sat at united square branch. Exactly like u said, i was kinda put off after the class. It was quite crowded n I find that the teachers didn't bother to rapport with the kids. Think I was the only one on trial. No one explained to me what was going on n I jus followed them from one room to another haha. The teachers gave me a feeling like they were just doing their job n not interested in interacting with the kids at all.
I really felt lost after everything was over. Kinda like a whirlwind session then it was all over. I tot the teachers would have at least asked if I was interested in continuing or if I had any questions n offered some more info etc but they just waved bye to everyone walking out of the class.
Was disappointed maybe cuz I was expecting abit more out of a place that seems so popular with long waitlist n all.
Just to share my experience la. |

Hi Missy,
Feel like sending Ryker for bibinogs trial class at UE Square, but afraid that he don't understand English as we purely speak chinese to him.
Hi Queenie,
Ryker also like to pull his birdie whenever changing his diaper... I always try to pull away his hand but he is very angry. I think he must be itchy. |

Queenie,
yes i heard about childcare centers putting our kids in front of the tv in the morning while waiting for the rest to come and in the afternoon while waiting for their parents to pick them up
just make sure that the one u are sending tristan to does not have TV if you are uncomfortable with the idea |

Queenie,
Caroline is currently taking Enfa stage 3, u start Tris with Stage 2 or 3?
Cos initially she also hv constipation problem due to high iron content, so we give her prune juice (60ml) everyday.
I will ask the childcare to give her prune juice everyday with the 3 meals.
Hmm..her childcare no tv so I cant comment, maybe u instruct to the teacher dont let him watch TV, u got to be firm when you tell the teacher u dont like the idea of expose him toTV..
Touching bellybutton & private part:
Caroline also like to touch hers too when I change her diaper n after bath, so usually I will give her toys to play to reduce touching it. |

oh really? +_+ so sick about the idea of letting them just sit down do nothing but watch tv while waiting for their parents/guardian to fetch them home. and the best thing is the teacher also sit down and watch when i went over the childcare to pick my niece up..
chocolate
initally im quite fine with him touching his birdie until my mom told me not to allow him. haha.. maybe scare he grow up in sch keep touching his birdie whereever he goes. then pple will stare at him as if he is pervert? LOL!
GUG
ya same experience when i bought tristan there for a trial lesson. i think maybe the teacher is trying to treat us as regulars thus not so much of introduction or special treatment which we subconsciously expect from? is just my opinions. at least they are not pushy to parents for signing kids. the distance is a lil far for me. imagine im here 5 days a week at UE sq, is a lil sian to come back on sunday or saturday. haha.
mangogal
hes on stage 3.. do u make ur own prune or those bottled drinks? my mom gave him alot of fruits and water but still.. he gets constipation. but so far the past few days during the transition his poos is not that hard as before so i will monitor again. before i bring to PD. coz pd waiting hours is real long. and maybe im lazy. haha..
oh i will try give him toys during diaper changing!
yes few more hours to go.. jia u.. |

Queenie, I bought the Heinz brand prune juice with apple, diulted and unsweeten from NTUC/Kiddypalace.
Hiaz...actually Caroline poo poo also will be hard once a week, and I realise her stool will be hard after eating carrot
Then I read up actually carrot will cause constipation but if childcare include in porridge, I cant ask them not to give her
But with prune juice and water 150ml everyday, it is better liao.
Weekend I will made apple juice for her, I try to give her papaya, she dun like leh...
Did you give Tris papaya? Cos it is very good to soften the poo poo.. |

st - i opted for united sq at 4pm. easier for me. if not must rush after she wakes up frm her nap. heh.
kirs too likes to touch her pipi but i jus give her stuff to distract...
chocolate - if u prefer something small n cosy... u might wana try bibinogs.. they have 2 branches.. serene centre(bukit timah) or ue square (near liang court) the trial i went was at serene centre. lively. small class. the staff also nice. not pushy but did ask hw we found the class n keen to continue. we said wil think abt it. they were all smiles n very nice to the kids. |

Queenie and mangogal..
i don't really trust the childcare teachers even if we instruct.. meaning if all the rest of the kids are watching tv while waiting .. i don't think they will not let our child watch as in taking care of him and her while the rest watch.
safest bet is to ensure that there are no TV in the centre |

Queenie
I've enrolled my boy into the childcare for next Jan and the principal has told us that the centre has no TV as they do not encourage TV watching too.
My boy do pull/play with his birdie at times but so far, only happened 2 times. I think he's just curious.
Any toddlers here on Pediasure? My boy is on the smaller built and weighs 10kg at 15mths. He's only taking 3 times of 150ml milk each time. But his solids are quite ok, he can finish a chinese bowl of soft rice with fish & vege for lunch & dinner.
When I brought him to GP for MMR last sat, GP told us to try giving him Pediasure, will help him put on some weight. I've 3 sachets and has been mixing his Friso with Pediasure, dunno should buy a tin & let him continue with it. |

My boy also like to touch his birdie. My mum want to apply cream to ease the itchyness. Seem like is not the itchyness but the curiousity! Thanks for sharing mummuies. I think this is the best place to find the answer as all our babies are having the same growing stage. |

that's kinda late.. if i do go out, i normally get home before 5.00pm to prepare for Bree's dinner.
She supposed to "eat" at 5.15 - 5.30pm.. cos she is still rejecting solids.
bathe at 6.00pm, milk at 6.30pm and goes to bed by 7.00pm
if i miss her bedtime.. god know what time she is going to sleep.. then i will go haywire.. hahaha |

envy u all who can go playdates or outing..
right now i'm very discouraged to go out with my boy.
he is one active baby..always want to explore and walk around... he refused to sit on his stroller..
on mrt, he will scream n cry..definetely make a scene! because I dont let him walk. and once we reach to the mall..he will cry if we dont let him walk..or if we carry him, he will fight with me to go down..my hand really aching now..
then some more..at restaurant..he will make a mess..throwing chopsticks and tissue on the floor..then also cannot sit too long..will want to walk around..haizz..
i think i need to be consistent n firm when disciplining him..
so far this behaviour only appears when we're out.
anyone experience the same? |

Piggy, we also purely speak Chinese to bb Jo..he can understand a lot wat we saying & asking him to do...my parents always ask me to speak Eng to bb but I don wan him to only understand & speak Eng..its very irritating when he grows up & ignore to speak/answer ppl when they speak Chinese to him! I wan him to learn English in his school & im sure he will as I trust de playgroup/pre-school in Singapore!
Jasmin, what is the normal weight for our bb of 15mths? last week when bb was sick of diarhea, he was only 10.5kg. Is this consider small build? But after recovered, he can really eat a lot (non-stop!)and I found that his head is quite big!
don, same as u I don let bb self-feed in a restn/ at home. im not prepared to clear de mess! |

miss83, bb Jo is the same as ur boy..whenever we go out, he will wan to walk on his own & refused to hold our hands. he don care whether he is blocking other ppl's way, he just walk very fast to wherever he wants. he also don wan to sit in de stroller.in de restn, after he finished his food, he will wan to got down & walk unless we hav food to keep him sit still. he will ask for our fork, spoon, chopsticks, wet tissue & watever he saw n he is interested to take...
don feel paiseh or feel bad when bringing them out. its normal for them to behave like this as they r just TOO CURIOUS & ACTIVE!! i think the ppl ard us will understand us..Slowly talk to ur boy to discipline him. actually we should b happy & glad that they r active & curious rather than they so quiet & sit in de stroller all de time without wanting to walk. |

miss83,
i think its understandable for them wanting to walk.. cos its their new found skills to be mobile without relying on us..
they have been watching us walk since they are born and not knowing how to do it.. now that they can.. i can understand why they enjoy doing it.. and they are practicing their walking and balancing skills..
the next step is when they will run.. |

My boy also likes to touch/ pull his birdie when changing diapers or bathing. Now I know its quite common, haha
Re watching tv in childcare:
Many of the CCs that I enquired have TV to the kids to watch if they are there early or while waiting for parents to pick up. I also don like the idea, cos at home I never let my boy watch tv at all, except for My baby can read dvds, which I will watch together with him.
Re LO running around:
Mummies, I so envy those whose kiddos are runnning or walking ard on their own. I wish my boy is like that. My boy still wants to hold on to my little finger or any other thing else when he walks. He has taken a few steps on his own, with much prompting, but most of the time, he will hold on to walls, funitures etc when walking at home. Sigh, not sure why he is like that even though he can walk so steadily. |

Hi mummies,
If your kiddos are very active and need space to crawl/exercise away, U may want to try My Gym. http://www.mygym.com.sg/programs.html
The shop name is call Grace Kids though.
I just went for a trial on Monday and my son was crawling all over the place enjoying himself chasing after gym balls, bubbles etc. They had welcome song, warming up exercises etc. On Monday, we did monkey swing, jumping on spring board and got turned upside down by the teacher after 'jumping' up from the spring board. My boy cried at each of these stunts but once we put him down, he was fine and started playing again.
While walking out of the gym, my son was smiling.. )
I signed up for 10 weeks and as members, we can walk in during some weekdays to use the gym.
BTW, just to share, i stumbled on this website called http://www.kiasuparents.com |

Hi Jo,
Same thinking as you. We solely speak Chinese to him so that he can build up his chinese foundation first. When he goes to playgroup/school, I let the teacher there to teach him English, they're more professional than me in gd pronounciation.
Ah yoh ! Same here... Bring Ryker out is like a BIG project.... especially feeding him in the public... so tired, he can't sit still to finish the porridge for me, everything on the tables he wants to touch. Lately he don't like us to hold his hands, he wants to walk by himself like little adult
So, Miss83, no worries, I think our child at this age is very curious on everythings around them especially outings... their eyes open soooo wide & we've to chase after them everywhere. |
