Teddybaby,
Mamy Poko Value one is more economical. It is very basic, no cartoon printing and look like a Sumo pant but I think is good enough.

Wow ! soo many gathering. Is hard for me to apply leave for the Hi-tea as my dept. short handed :-(

Comment from my PD on MMR: relation to autism is based on inconclusive evidence. However to play safe, she's recommending that parents wait til child is obviously speaking well plus has reached some other developmental milestones before taking it. That way, can rule out that child did not have autism before taking the jab.

I can't remember the other milestones are but the main one was speaking basic words, being able to fit simple puzzles together, use simple shape sorter. Daph kang, can u rembrr the others? (we share the same PD)

a question for mummies or daddies (dun think there are any daddies here? haha)

my boy is normally quite "zen" around other kids his age during playtime with toys/playgrounds. occasionally he would push a kid or other kids would push him which i see as no big deal (kids being kids).

however things are different when we meet a friend whose boy is a few weeks younger then mine. If the other boy and mine get into a situation where they are after the same toy, my boy would grab, shove and even bite the poor boy so hard the teeth mark were red after 5 hours. whenever such an incident occur i would grab my son's hand and beat it plus smack his backside. I would also tell him he cannot push/bite cos he will have no one to play with if he push/bite. he seem to know he has done something wrong when i beat him but he does not seem to understand why. even though i offer my apologies to the boy's parents, i still feel very bad.

what do you think can be done to teach my boy to play nice yet not become a wuss?

hi mommies
re: brushing teeth
my gal doesn't want to brush at all! i am having a headache on how to get her to brush or at least let me help her brush but she simply refused to open her mouth. Even when i managed to brush just once she will turn away and refused to let me try again. I tried many ways... using the finger brush, normal toothbrush, clothe, sniffies, watching barney vcd on teeth brushing, showing her how i brush. It didn't work :-(

anyone has this problem? now her teeth are sooooo yellowish that it's almost brownish, yucks!
Any other ideas to share?

My boy also got many teeth already. Tried using the finger toothbrush, but he don't like it. I can see his teeth like turning slight yellow liao.

Mangogal, MMR jab can separate into 3x? My boy also haven't taken MMR jab yet cos at 15 mth, took pneumoccal 2nd jab and 18mth taking a 5 in 1 (or 6 in 1 ) booster. Will take his MMR jab at least 1-2 mths after that

RE: toothbrushing

Heh... normally i tell bb C that I will brush then she can continue later. Most of the times she is ok, but sometimes she refuses to brush. I think may be because gums sore lah.. so never bother.

Re: Full Cream Milk

Have been giving magnolia fresh milk for her afternoon milk these days. served chilled. Very happy cos i dont need to bring bottle and milk powder out.. :-)

actually very convenient to give chilled full cream milk. Just go supermarket or MD to buy when need to feed.. :-)

Oh.. but MD price very expensive so most of the time we buy from supermarket and bring to MD to let her drink.. hee

re: Brushing Teeth
I'm still using washcloth to clean Vera's teeth and tongue in her bath. Sometime will ask her if she want to brush her teeth with toothbrush, she nods her head and I'll give her her toothbrush and she does it herself. Sometime I'll help her. Really depend on her mood one. She's happy she'll be very coorperative else she basically shut her mouth. I usually don't insist on doing it if she doesn't want me to clean her mouth, I just try again in the next bathing session.

I let Vera drink Magnolia Fresh Milk too. I didn't warm it just put it out of the fridge a while until less cold then let her drink. She enjoyed it only when drink from the packet with straw. I don't think she like it coz when I pour the milk into the cup, she refuses to drink. Nevermind, I'll just keep trying as usual. hehe..

Fresh milk
Mummies who give your todds full cream fresh milk, do you then still give them FM? I still give my boy his nan Pro3 and thinking of switching to Enfagrow or Gain IQ. Is full cream milk enough for them interms of nutrients?

Cold drinks
I give my boy cold yogurt and sometimes cold milo (from the packet).

Sunshine..

hmm..my concept is the same "can pregnant woman take cold stuff?"

Mrs Wong did mention about it..she say when we take cold stuff..go in to our body...will be about our body temperature..

our weather is so hot..i need the cold stuff to bring down my body temperature.

i apply same concept to Bree.. not when she is sick though..

Bree drinks our ice water when we dine in cafes or restaurant,eat fruits direct out from the fridge..

she is those who will perspire easily..maybe in the context of TCM, her body base is "hot" so..cold drinks are ok for her

wah Asura, Lizy, Lenny n other mummies, didnt kno0w so many give ur tods full cream milk liao! :-)

However, do u all give everyday?? Ur tods still drink FM/BM right?
heheh..guess is cold n the refreshing taste makes them love to drink! But I will try to chill dwn abit then feed her, hopefully she likes it!
Yalor so troublesome to bring powder out and the problem is she dun like to drink milk outside, drink only less than 50ml then spit out liao..always so distracted by the surrounding :p
Cant wait to let her try :-)

Jtho, maybe u can start liao since Oli take most of the food well :-)

Ask ur nanny to let him try, sure he likes it cos he is ang mo bb,keke..

Scrumpee, I will still stick to FM as her mainly calcium consumption, fullcream cold milk is only one feeding on alternate days?

Hi Mommies..

been a while since i can really settle down. Bree has not recovered from her allergies till now.Its been more than 4 weeks now..

she has been spitting out her medicine,thus taking so long for her..

we did managed to bring her to see Dr.Terence Tan. he is wonderful with Bree. Bree smiled at him,waved and blew him a kiss just before we left.

we are asked to go back for follow-up check up tomorrow if bree is still not well and one more round just before we leave for Brisbane next Thu.

i finally fell sick last sat after a month of taking care of her day and night. thank god hubby is back to help.

about the high tea..i will need to further confirm as Dr. Tan's appointments are fully booked and we are asked to walk in. He only starts at 10.00am for consultation in his clinic..

we hope to make it in time for high tea..

Lenny, Dr Tan's fantastic but his queue is horrendously long n you might end up waiting 3-4 hours to see him. Hope he can help Bree with her allergies.

We used to see him then switched to Dr Lim Kwang Hsien from the same clinic cuz Dr Tan wasn't in one of those times that we went. So since then we have stuck to Dr Lim.

Milk:

I replaced only the afternoon milk with packet milk. Cos i think better to drink warm milk at nite and in the morning. Introduced chilled milk cos i want her to like milk when she grow up. Oh yah... i dont give UHT milk cos there were some studies some time ago that indicate the UHT milk is not very nutritious cos of the high heat used to kill the bacteria and germs so that no need to put in fridge to keep fresh.

re : Brushing Teeth
So far im using the finger toothbrush to brush for Jovin. He is still ok for me to brush for him. But although got brush his teeth also looks yellowish as i did not use any toothpaste yet. So I will buy a training toothpaste for children below 2yrs old for him.

re : Full Cream Milk
Have not tried yet and thanks mummies for sharing here. Now I don need to bring milk btl n powder out. Daddy is complaining its very heavy n bulky! However, I did give Jovin chilled Yogurt Drinks n Yakult. But I didnt give him whole pkt and I will hold the pkt for him when he is drinking. If not he will squeezed the pkt drinks and wet himself n his face. He is also very glutton n can drink finish the whole packet if u dont control him.

Lenny, hugs to Bree and you! Its been really tough for u! Pls take care and jia you! Hopefully the rashes will go away from Bree asap!

re : MMR
Jovin also havnt took his MMR jab yet. Last time the PD said there is no evidence of autism with MMR jab. He say if any other PD told me anything abt autism related to MMR, ask me to report to him and he wants to report the PD to govt! He say delay the MMR jab is ok as long as he took it later.

Will consider to give MMR jab to Jovin 1-2mths after his pneumoccocal booster.

Vera is still drinking FM three times a day. I don't intend to replace any of these with full cream milk now. I introduce it to her because sooner or later I know she'll want to drink cold beverages. Instead of her drinking Coke etc why not let her drink Milk, more nutritious. hehe... Plus she is still underweight. The fresh milk is more like a supplement for her. So far, I'm using Magnolia Fresh Milk, the 200ml packet form with straw attach one. She only wants to drink it from there... maybe she thinks it's fun to drink like that...

UHT milk are those that do not require chilling to keep fresh. An example is Dutch Lady UHT milk. But i not too sure what other brands there are. Those in the fridge are usually fresh milk.

Full Cream Milk,

I just start giving Ryker fresh goat milk from diary farm. From an article it says goat milk is more nutrient & better than cow milk, it also good for asthma,eczema, diabeties, & most nearest taste to BM.

Asura,

I agree Yakult mayb too much sugar, so i always buy Vitagen less sugar. PD said its good to let them drink in moderation as the probiotic is good for them.

Jovin only can drink from straw and I prefer to give him straw..if I give him the cup, he will spill all the water as he still do not know how to control the flow.

Piggy, yes i agree that goat milk is better than cow's milk. i ever bought the goat's milk in glass bottle from Hock Hua or dunno wats the name of the shop. they highly recommend children to drink goats milk. There's a PD in my hometown (Msia) always scold us if we bring our sick child to his clinic. The 1st question he will ask is "what formula milk u give to bb?", when we say xxx cow's milk, he will say, "that's y ur child is sick! Cow's milk is for cow's bb!" but im thinking, then goat;s milk isnt it for goat's bb?? confused!
