what kind of oven u use? i only got small toaster oven at home though i m interested in baking. hb dun like me to get big oven.. nowadays JH also rejects a lot of food. he wants to self feed nad he ends up eating veyr little. we just let him eat whatever he can eat now...
mummies
really tired out with #2. she's not latching very well and fuss on the bottle also. think when my cl goes back, i wlil have nightmare.
her nose keeps getting blocked. wonder whether shd bring ot PD cos they most likely will give nosedrops and she will sure scream her head off.
JH has been jealous again these few days. he has mastered the art of crying when he needs it.. |

Are you sleeping in air-con room with your gal? Just have to be patient with her when it comes to latching on....perhaps it would be good to pay the LC a visit? It must be tough having to juggle a nb and a jealous toddler! |

C is coughing again. We've concluded that he's still allergic to chicken and that chicken caused him to cough. He ate chicken rice last week (but he spit out the chicken and ate the rice) and started coughing. He got well during the week. Then on Sat, we fed him chicken again and he started his cough all over again. This time with even more phlegm, coz he ate quite a lot. So no more chicken for him.
SY
how abt sucking the mucus out of the nose? My hb did it for C last time.
U can get a medium oven. Not too big, but can bake simple stuff with the temp gauge. I've a cornell one. Not fantastic but can still bake chicken wings/cake/fish etc. I find that having an oven really helps with the cooking. And it's also less oily and u don't have to be there all the time. So much less preparation work. Healthier too coz uses lesser or no oil at all. We also use that to make pizzas.
Before C, we made a lot of chicken wings with it. But now that C is allergic to chicken, we've seldom done that anymore. It's such an easy dish. Just marinate the wings and put in the oven to bake. Healthier than frying, hassle-free and very tasty.

My boy sometimes does that. It could be coz it's cold. Or he just feels too nice and warm to want a bath. The phase will pass and your #2 will wanna take a bath again. In such instances, i simply strip him and carry him to the bathroom whether his little bathtub is ready with all the toys. After a while of unhappiness and crying, he becomes distracted with the toys and feel happy again.
But sometimes it's coz he's hungry and doesn't wanna do anything until he eats. |

SY,
Duncan also had blocked nose the first two months. PD diagnosed as sensitive nose. Every morning I will use cotton bud to 'check out' his nose and definitely will have one huge dirt stuck there. Now he's 3 months, its better already. BTW we sleep in aircon. During the 2nd month after CL left, at night when his nose seemed stuck, I brought him out of the room and it cleared. So confirm its due to aircon.
But we figure we need him to get used to it as we all need the aircon to sleep. So bo pian, let him nose stuck and 'train' him up.
The bottle part, wat teat you using? I tried Avent he took extremely long to drink cos I tink the teat is pretty hard. Then I tried NUK, also not very suitable. Eventually settled with Pigeon and he's fine with it so far. I realise these babies need lots of practice and training. Now he can drink from the bottle pretty fast. Still latching on at night too and sometimes just 10minutes is enough to fill him. AND best part is less blocked ducts.
As I shared with you, I was on full EBM for him during first month with CL. When she left, I re-latched him and started training him from there. So it's possible for you to try again in the 2nd month onwards. She could be latching better then when she's older. |

Hi mummies!
Didn't log in for a long time as I was so busy! Really looking forward to the break. We have bought tickets to Tokyo. Now looking around for suitable accommodations. Any recommendations for a service apartments for 5 adults and a toddler?
Sleepingdeer,
Congrats!
Rena,
Ezekiel is so cute - loved the last picture of the bros together.
SY,
Charmaine's PD sucked the mucus out for her before. It really made her better. I have tried sucking for her before but nothing came out. |

Mashy ... can C tell u that he wants to urine? I've having some problems with K recently too ... he can't really control his bladder very well. at times, there are 5 pants to wash each day ... I still try but now he goes into diapers before he naps cos I'm sick of sleeping on urine-stained bedsheets.

Re :Toliet Training
i use pull up diaper to train him. My this little vain boy, told him cannot wee wee in the nice diaper (usually pull up pant got nicer picture).
You have to tell mummy if you need to wee wee....We asked him almost every hour if he want to wee wee. After about 2 weeks, I let him go diaperless.
So far so good...But i still put on diaper for him when we go out, nap time and bed time. |

unfortunately he can't. He can go 'wee wee woo woo' (learnt from his Elmo video) but won't tell me when he wanna do it.

He's already been wearing pull up diaper for a while, so to him, it's as good as any diaper. I bought him underwear for him to wear, but he also pee & poo in it. He doesn't care much for vanity. |

tired?? ....hmmm? good news perhaps? so far, D goes diaperless at home except when out or nap time. I try try my best to bring him to public toilets when outside. if accidents happen at home, he'll still go oh-no...occasionally will signal to us that he wanna go wee-wee. I just noticed that D wakes up with dry diaper from his nap-time and sometimes from the previous night. Hope he would accurately tell us when to bring him to urinate.

sy,
maybe u can try to change the bottles? Initially we used avent bottles for #2, but unsuitable for her due to the teats. Then we change to Nuk, yup suited her beta. But the prob is the teats like 'stick' together hence ended up she took a long time to finish the milk.
So we changed back to avent teats, gradually she learnt to drink with avent. |

tracy, sept bride
my hb says just let her get use to avent teats. she will drink better when she is older..but just a bit heart pain when u see the milk wasted
tracy
yeah think i got to train her when cl leaves. cos now usually will latch then cl will feed bottle and it is faster this way. i hope she drinks faster. yesterday she latched for almost an hour and still not full. wondering is it her latch lousy or not.
mamachan
i did think of seeing LC but sometimes her latch is ok sometimes it is not. so maybe need more practice...
re block nosed
i suspect she has sensitive nose. she's not sleeping in aircon yet but will be soon after cl leaves...

Perhaps u tell ur MIL that my son is not stupid just that he is not ready for toilet train. Sometime their muscle is not strong enf to hold the urine. Like my #2 till now still on diaper, sometimes he do tell me "shh shh" sometimes he dun.. and sometimes false alarm.. ;( |

krissie / jamom,
Are our todds too young class go for violin classes? I'm also thinking of sending Isaac to music lessons, but earliest maybe next June. And I'm actually thinking of going straight to formal lessons but tailored for 3-4 year old kids. Isaac also loves his insrtuments. He has a toy violin which he adores. And last weekend, I let him listen to my Beethoven symphonies on my mp3 player, he listened quietly and finished 2 full movements of one of the symphony. That's like 15 mins or so long. I was surprised cos it's the first time he's listening to a proper piece of classical music. On and off, he'll say "violin, oboe, cello, trumpet!". So funny!
Flo / Valerie,
Lately the Purple Train turnover is quite high... I hope it's not affecting the curriculum and the kids.
Rena,
Such a nice pic of your boys! Don't give up on BF, the supply will increase if you pump regularly.
mashy / Rena,
My boy also has no inclination of going diaperless. I always tell him that he is a big boy now, must use potty and he will say no. Sian. I really dunno how to train him leh cos he does not seemed ready for toilet traning at all. |

So tired today too coz hardly got any sleep last night. My boy came down with fever. He's been coughing like crazy. Now i'm so tired.
Coz he didn't go school today, he happily pointed to the Winnie the Pooh DVD which we borrowed from the library and said 'pooh'. He's so obsessed with watching it. Usually he can only last 30mins with any show. But this one is more than 75mins and he kept asking for more. sigh. How to stop him from watching so much? He'll kick up a big fuss when i wanna switch it off. Usually if he's tired of the show, he's ok with me switching off.

it's ok. C u this weekend then. |

Hi mummies
This is so exciting! My hb was telling me about his work trip to BKK and I was ok! I wanna tag along with you too for the weekend (he'll be there for 1 week!). And I was suprised that he suggested to bring D along too for the trip. So it'll be a 1st trip for myself and D To BKK! I hope D will be well behaved as I will be with him alone on the plane up to BKK. Going by budget air. Mommies who travelled via budget air before, have you brought stroller along with you before? If yes, is it handcarry or checked-in?

i used lettuce for the sandwiches i prepare for dylan. i will run them through boiling water, just to make sure them are not too cooked. will try giving raw ones to him and see how he takes to it.
Fion
dylan is off diaper for a few months now. think i started training him when he was about 20 mths, can't remember exactly already. partly i started bcoz i feels that he is ready to be trained and prepare for a change.
i started with a day letting him going bottomless, without any underwear or diaper at home and i constantly watch out for any sign of high tight. he was aware and will show signs of wanting to pee but dare not bcoz with no diaper. i will bring him to toilet whenever there are signs and slowly he gets the idea. overall it take about a few days for him to be completley off diaper and of coz on and off there were accidents when he was too engrossed with his play. i did not scold him, instead reasoned out to him of the mess he made and he was peiseh.
now he will tell us when wants to pee and poo. |

Mamachan - Yeah yeah yeah...shopping time!
Mashy - Poor C. Hope he gets well soon. U rest well too.
Something funny - On Fri nite, we went out to eat & C was diaperless. As usual, he drank a lot & didn't want to pee at the public toilet when we asked him to. On our way back, he started fidgeting & hopping around. I asked if he wanted to pee, he still said no. When we parked the car, he told HB & I "Hurry, we've got to run home..." We asked " Why?" His reply "I just want to go home fast!"
At the same time, cld tell he was holding his pee and hugging HB tightly. He ran for the loo the minute we opened the door and pee-ed.What a funny sight seeing him trying to hold on to his pee! |

Hopefully we can get some good bb goodies, stark improvement from the 2004 announcement. Sometimes it's really not about us not wanting to have more children...everything is expensive and in this age, it's the mindset of this generation that if I can't give the best for my child (think enrichment classes , etc etc), might as well not have more children but to just focus on that 1 or 2. |

Meg had her first detention yesterday in playgroup. :P She hit another student and refused to apologise. So the teacher left her alone in another room as punishment. Hehehe...'orby good' for her! The teacher told my MIL when she went to pick Meg.
When I asked Meg about it, she answered me,'I say sorry already!' I think this year-end school review I will be getting alot of 'feedback' from the teacher... |

Hi Tracy,
I think my Megan have the same problem.
Till now, almost one month already.... she still cry and don;t want to go to school. In school, she insist in following Ashley and wants to order ashley to do things for her. The teachers tried to separate them..... Megan complained that teachers scold her..... I ask ashley and she said megan was brought to the office.... Concerned, i called the school.... the principle answered that she was brought to the office but not meant to be punished.... but megan cried when she don;t get her ways and her crying will get louder and louder and it is disturbing other kids..... so brought her to the office to cool down....
The principle say megan is "strong-willed'.... in anotehr words, stubborn! |

Yes, it's a good time to visit Perth in December, but it's summer, so might get hot (but not humid) and heard from my relatives might have flies too. BUt generally it's a good place to visit for R & R. Can find out more on getting car rental and driving around perth and down to Margaret River/Albany to look at the coastal. My hb and myself planning to bring D there to spend Christmas with my relatives =) |

Rena,
Horrible MIL and SIL! If your SIL goes too far, you and HB has to step in liao. I mean, it's ok for them to discipline but not if the method it 'abusive', if you get what I mean.
cookie,
Actually, I'm thinking of getting a private tutor for formal music lessons. But I don't think I want to start too early, maybe mid to end of next year. Have not decided which instruments, either piano or violin. I play the piano, and I thought if Isaac is interested, I can teach him the basics first. But Isaac seemed to prefer string instruments. Whenever I ask him, piano, violin, trumpet or drums, he always say violin. Though recently, he mentioned that he likes cello (??!) too. Hahah.
Actually, I don't mind learning another instrument. I always wanted to try the cello (it's a very sexy instrument, hahah).
I think if we learn together with our kids, they may feel more motivated?
Tracy,
What kind of music course Thomson Yamaha is starting? Any website to see? |

Hi queen, u r looking for musical instrument specific lessons and not just music appreciation courses right? I only know there's Suzuki violin & piano at Balmoral (I think) at bukit timah at this young age. I believe Yamaha would not teach musical instrument at this young age as they go quite strictly that only when a kid is 4 yrs old will they be doing instruments. If you know piano, you should consider violin ... that's what a mother did, send her son to Sukizi Violin (which btw I heard is quite tough on the adult, not to mention quite ex coz u keep changing the violin due to size). She said violin is a more refined learning in terms of musical notes ... and eventually she can teach him piano herself if she wishes. I'm accompanying my older son for over 1 yr in his piano lesson ... so far so good coz he's enthusiatic in learning but more than 1/2 the class has dropped out, some lost of interest and some converted to private lesson, but I think I'll put K through the same process coz it's quite cheap as compared to other options.

I'm wondering if all Megans are that stubborn!
SY,
When i relatched him, i still do one bottle feed in the evenings at MIL's when I go over for dinner. He was abit confused initially, kept looking at me strangely when I bottle fed him. But he got used to it.
Queen,
Hmm..no idea yet. I just emailed to them asking if there's any music appreciation classes for toddlers 2YO-3YO. They called me and said they are planning to start one in October and will provide more details later. |

Hi Tracy,
The last time i change on the meaning of Megan - it means Victorious spirit.....
Hi Fion,
Coincidentally i went Jean Yip for a hair cut on Monday and the stylist also mentioned my hair is very thin blah blah blah. He scan my hair and said it is oily etc and ask me if i want to do treatment.... They are quite pushy..... tried to instil fear like "I swear you will have hair loss when you hit 35 and above...." (He asked for my age before that)... I know of a friend doing treatment there and it cost about $6k. Not too sure if it works thou. Haven't seen my friend for sometime... but i also didn;t notice she has hair loss problem in the first place.......... But 6k is really expensive! |

Hi Fion,
Sorry, just spoken to my friend. She tried Jean Yip's products but not useful. The 6k is Yunnan which she said is good. Alot of hair grow after the treatment....
I can take bad comments but i just felt that the guy is not sincere. He is more interested in recommending hair products and hit the target kind. |

Fion,
I'm always sceptical about those hair centres... why not get a medical opinion first? There are specialists treating hair loss problems.
ky,
yah, that's my thoughts too. I think I will start Isaac on violin. Er... as to whether violin is more 'refined', actually music is universal, whether piano, violin or flute. It's all about excelling in the technique and interpretation and expression of the music. A brilliant violinist may not be a brilliant pianist. Difficulty and beauty of the instruments depends really on the person playing it. That's why there are Concertos written for various instruments.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say here is, the reason why I'm starting Isaac on violin or piano is cos these are the 2 classical instruments most commonly taught here. It's more of getting Isaac to appreciate music in classical form. With that understanding, he can go on to play whatever instruments he wants in the future, even electric guitars or drums.
The Suzuki violin at Balmoral uses the Suzuki method issit? I heard some not so good things about the Suzuki method. I'm trained in the traditional method, sight reading, learning the majors and minor keys, and chords etc. So I'm not sure about this Suzuki method...
I do feel that 2-3 years old is too young to start formal learning on instruments cos they neither have the discipline not concentration to last even half an hour. So I'm thinking earliest will be 3.5 years, if not 4 years old.

sl - i stayed in hotel too..not sure abt apt. guess you will enjoy the weather and food.
mamachan - remember to bring D to the water world in paragon. heard it is very good and big unlike our under water world. my frd says they have a big boat with transparent base that makes the kids to go gaga over the fishes below. i am also tempted to go one day.
rachel - i just enrol C to zoophonics enrichment classes. starting in aug and thrice per week. 2 hrs duration. only worry is the class is at 1.30pm which eats into his nap time,. hopefully he won;t get grouchy. for this course as its enrichment, not able to pay by baby bonus. haiz.. fees is $250, materials is $50. registration and uniform is free as its a brand new ctr commencing in aug only.
fion - yes i have that too esp after my second son. i swear on tonic and changing my shampoo. bought the brand klorane from pharmacy and after 2 mths, its stopped dropping and has not been using it since then. i heard scalp treatment helps too. as for rebonding and hair dye, better to avoid. |

I mean Specialist. If I'm not wrong, I think National Skin Centre treats Hair Loss.
http://www.nsc.gov.sg/cgi-bin/WB_ContentGen.pl?id=166&gid=33
Actually, like Sunny and SSF, I also find more hair loss after giving birth, even now, it's been more than 2.5 years. My HB keeps complaining about the amount of hair that I drop all over the house. But as long as I don't see bald patches, I just leave it be. But if you are worried, I guess no harm seeing a doctor first. |

for my 1st one, it continued dropping for 3 - 4 mths. after that, the rate of dropping is normal loh. for this round, i can see that it's dropping but lesser than last round. i hope it only lasts for few mths.
i think if you find that the amt of the hair lost is unusual, better see a doctor. |

So happy!
Firstly my boy's fever is finally gone. Then, he's able to sing 80% of 'Jesus loves me'! Hehehe, altho still can't pronounce clearly, but can tell he's singing the song, with the right words. For someone who hasn't been talking much, it's like a huge step.
And my dad was so happy when my boy finally said 'gong gong, open', to ask him to open the door. He's been so into gettting my boy call him gong gong after C called my stepmum ma ma. He even asked my stepmum don't call him 'lao gong' next time, just call 'gong gong'. Hahahaha. |

Sorry to intrude...I was just browsing through the forum after a long break.
Why dun u guys try Seimpi instead? My son is with Seimpi now. I like the service provided by Allison. She actually reserved a slot for my son while I was overseas. The lesson is interesting and keeps the toddlers occupied. Also, the teacher can sing very well. |

It's true if during our confinement we eat lots of nutrition food, sleep well, it's help to strengthen our body as well. During my 1st pregnancy i eat well but #2 hor... chin chye liao, cos hv to take care my #1 so no time to take care myself..

I agreed with u, as shampoo play apart. I've tried so many type of shampoo and all are the same... still looking for remedy.. Next time when ur hair get straighten, dun perm again..
mashy
happy for u, ur son fever has subsided. My #2 same too, he recently called me "Mummy" I was surprised and happy, before that i've teached him lots of time and his mouth dun want to open... |

Do u have long hair? I find that cutting the hair short helps. Less gravity pulling it. |

Can imagine the joy that you have hearing C sing! And talking to his grandpa! Am glad for you that C's fever went away too. I think C will start to talk more and more now =) It's like with my boy too, the moment start with a few spoken words, he will speak more and more. |

Agree with u, taking picutres were make us look more obvious.
Perhaps he takes a long nap in the afternoon?? I always let my boy to sleep 1hr only in the afternoon, cos he nite time cant get into sleep if he sleep too long in the afternoon nap. Drinking water or milk every half hr? If water oki la, but if milk perhaps u let him hv some snack instead. |

re mandeville
ya, heard oso that their service sucks but seems that their classes & baby music prog is good leh...not too serious but wif lots of fun for the tots to learn to appreciate music...some june mums attended trial at seimpi but not good feedback. I guess, at the end of the day, it boils down to the teacher perhaps? hope that after joining, dealing wif their service staff is only during payment time etc. hahahah
mashy
how did the trial go? did the tots enjoy? sometimes trial may be a bit tougher to gauge oso cos kid new to the environment, takes a while to adapt then enjoy...my ger is May 06 ger...she's a slow to warm up type so i've learnt to accept that trials r more for me to assess if prog is suitable for her...can't gauge based on her response totally heheh
tracy
think both seimpi & mandeville baby music class will hv some stuff on reading of notes etc..think they're advised to take up an instrument only at 3 earliest... |
