Morning Mummies,
Augboyz,
If Megan is like Hannah, supersentitve, I would rather she finish 3/4 bowl first before attempting to add in the Chinese med cos otherwise, if she rejects at the first feed, the entire bowl goes down the chute... :")
Cynthia,
I know what you mean, I was also thinking to myself how long I will continue her treatment plus that clinic is so packed, we always go for the 6pm appt and if we are like 10 mins late, will have to wait an hour already...
Kelly,
Gosh, I almost fainted when I made payment for the second trip, lucky I brought enough money, that place don't look like they have ATMs anywhere near also...can imagine the amount of cash they generate everynight hee... |

Hi piyo,
Hee. I also very slow in replying.
No need to salute me. I have no choice. Since got already, have to give birth. That's my logic. And I'm going to take 1 step at a time. Hope I dun get crazy then. Actually compared to most mummies here, I'm not a very good mum. I love my children but looking after them, I'm not very good. But I love playing with them, finding stuffs to do with them, cooking for them and etc.
Your maid does sound horrible. You better be careful in case she gets crazy. I would be very scared if it were for me. I'm scared she would harm my children. |

CrispyApple,
Don't worry be Happy is the best thing you should do now.
Everyone is trying to be a better mum everyday. We just do our best that is more important. Giving them more love or even spare a little time is enough too. Sometime even I am full time to my gals i still neglect either of them too. But as long they remain happy cheerful most important for mi.
Jia YOU! |

Hi butter8,
1) Do you mean his routine schedule, e.g, what time eat meal, bath and etc? This routine schedule, I do keep to it.
2) I'm not sure. But your boy sleep time looks ok. Aden sleeps around 10 - 10.30 pm and wakes up abt 8 - 8.30 am (weekends) or 7.30 - 7.45 am (weekdays cos' he need to go school so we wake him up). Avelyn sleeps around 9 - 9.30 am and wakes up abt 6 - 6.30 am for her milk feed and sleep back until around 8.30 am again.
3) Yes. Aden nap 1 time, ranging from 1 - 2 hr. Avelyn nap twice, also ranging from 1 - 2 hr.
4) My boy is horrible. He pee and poo in diapers. Nobody is free to potty train him. In fact, my mil gave up on him and keep his potty away already since he dun want. I need help on this myself on how to potty train him too.
5) I did not bring both kids to any classes anymore. Aden only attend CC. Avelyn shake legs at home.
6) If have, can let me know. I would also like to join. |

hi,
here's my response.
1. do u keep ur kids on a strict schedule?
on weekdays. not on weekends though as we might be out.
2. how many hours should they be sleeping now?
he usually sleeps around 10+ to around 7am. then take naps of around 2-3 hrs. guess a total of 10 - 11 hrs a day.
3. do ur kids nap still?
yes, around 2 - 3 hrs.
4. potty training?
managed to train him over the weekends. doesn't wear diapers when he's awake on weekends as i am now more familiar wiht his mannerisms. able to know when he wants to pee and i'm able to bring him to the potty on time. not potty trained for pooing yet. he can sit on it but nothing comes out.
5. any new classes we can bring our kids too?
maybe music or art classes but no intention to sign him up yet. perhaps when he's older, will sign him up for art classes cos he's interested in drawing. |

Cynthia,
Justin also started to ask for milk when he wakes up in the middle of the night. This started after I had Julia. Maybe he's influenced by his little sister. Everytime he wakes up, he'll say "I want to drink milk" and will nag until you give it to him, he doesn't want water either so hv to give him milk which he'll sleep soundly after that.
Lately, Julia likes to wake up in the middle of the night and walk around her cot holding the railings, she loves this exercise. i'm so tired so I'll just sit there quietly watching her for abt 30min when she shd be tired then rock her back to sleep. If my MIL happens to hear Julia's noise, she'll quickly come in and carry her out to rock her back to sleep.
So now, I'm also like a zombie every day at work, have to rely heavily on kopi to keep awake. Lucky I stopped bf or else I can't drink kopi and dunno how else to stay awake.
Mummies,
I'm so happy that this morning Justin insisted not to wear diaper on the way to school and this is the 1st time he's diaper free in the car, hope he can keep this up. |

Hi all,
ya sorry thurs i happen to be free, its ok we can organise another time.
thanks all mummies for sharing.
Its been very hard for me to make ryan sleep, i think its cuz i never trained him to fall asleep on his own. he seems sooo active and have so much energy.
worse still he is a tv addict. we r guilty parents too, cuz we let him.
I'm going to try my hand at potty training this long weekend. wish me luck |

Hi Doris,
My 2 kids also need dudu. But luckily, they only need them when they want to sleep. Cos' I strongly forbid anyone to give them dudu when not sleeping. Otherwise, they would eat the whole day.
I wanted to kick Aden's dudu habit first. But as he is starting CC full day this May, dun want too much change for him.
Maybe during my maternity leave, if he's still on dudu, I would try to kick this habit of his. |

Not sure is mil love to keep putting her at walker (me sometime also la cos nat can be handy at home too) I have been trying to train nicole liao lo but still.. hai... somemore she is still BO GEH! alot slower than jiejie leh. I wonder is it because she is born 3weeks earlier so even though now 10mths old BUT actual fact is 9mth1week nia? Sometime felt so lousy not able to balance love, not able to train nicole more... all focus always at Natalie as now she is in the stage of learning & alot of teaching... |

Cynthia,
Dun worry, Julia also bo geh, Justin's first tooth sprouted at 7 mths so I got worried that Julia is still bo geh at 8 mths. She doesn't like to crawl, but she loved to pull to stand. In fact, she can stand and then let go of the baby cot railings for a few seconds balancing herself. I'm worried though cos afraid her hips may not be strong enough to support her at 8 mths for standing. But whatever, they'll somehow achieve their milestones when their body is ready, we can help but its better to leave it to them. |

Doris,
my Sherv is a true blue dudu addict!!! she will do anything to get her dudu in her hands! haha! we tried putting chilli on it to help wean her off but she rather take it than to part with her dudu... so in the end, she just cried bcoz of the spiceness.. =(
Cyn,
abt teething, i guess not only btw boys and girls, even girls can differ... but i'm quite amazed tat Evan has started teething at 4.5mths... he's having his 4th tooth sprouting now... super cranky and clingy... i'm so drained from carrying him! 9.5kg at 6mths, no wonder i need so much carbo!!!
so maybe it's a good thing tat nicole has her first tooth later. |

hi erin,
I just went to a pcf's open house and has already registered for rae to be enrolled next year. They used a so-called 'Excel' programme to define their curriculum which seems more structured and organized. For Nursey, 4 semesters will be based on 4 different themes, first semester is based on 'Myself' then 2nd semester is based on 'I see, I hear...'
The content is also planned out based on 10 weeks structure so is seems quite macro. There are 3 slots in this pcf, 8-11am, 11am-2pm then 2-5pm.
Plus, the curriculum also includes daily 45minutes on Mandarin activities. And, the centre has different setup/corners, one for music, one for painting, one for arts & crafts. There's also snacks provided.
So, in conclusion, at $86 per month, I don't think i can complain much... |

hi mummies,
thanks for ur feedback. will sign him up this sat. the centre near my place offers a 3hrs programme and it costs around $145.
now, i'm having problems with the childcare. since there's a change in the supervisor, the teachers' morale has dropped and quite a no. of them are resigning. now keeping my fingers crossed that the new teachers will be just as nice and professional. |

hey erin,
yeah, sure hope tat the new batch of teachers will be as good or better with the children so tat the kids will be easing into the change of teaching style.
i think $145 is quite reasonable for a 3-hr prog. but can kayden attend the K1 and K2 there as well?
i've signed up a 2-hr pre-nursery class for sherv tat will commence in late June(term 3) and it costs $560 per term. so it average out to be $200 plus each mth. one of the reasons i chose tat school is bcoz sherv will be able to finish her kindergarten in the same school and i do not hv to worry abt sourcing for school and changing of environment again.
i really hope sherv will love schooling and she'll hv no problem adapting there, i hate to see her crying and fussing and i will worry so much when i'm at work. |

hi leobbsmom,
the childcare kayden is attending offers K1 and K2 but i'm not signing him up. am currently paying $450 per month for his half day programme after subsidy at his current cc. not likely to continue there cos of the change of management.
the $145 nursery programme is at the pcf near my place. he should be attending kindergarten at the pcf if he adjust well to nursery there.
hi whitelady,
that's what i heard too but will try out the pcf near my place 1st lor. ya lor, so stressed. hopefully everything will turn out well. |

HOW TO GET LEON TO SLEEP ON HIS OWN
Hi mommies of 2,
Can you please advise how to get Leon to slowly learn to sleep on his own? Our maid left (long story but other than being really tired from preg and doing housework after full time job really quite glad for now lor) and after we went for holidays together in Feb, Leon will NO LONGER sleep without us. Last time he was flexi, either way also can. Now is like he loves to sleep with us which is sweet and nice, cos he is v loving, but i want to do some early planning for the arrival of the baby in Nov.
How to slowly wean him away from us? Also he wakes at 4am or wateva time to want to pee, and wants to be walked to toilet ... how?
From your experiences, when bb comes, does #1 wake up when bb cry? cos actually once leon sleeps we turn on tv, talk loudly he don wake up ..
not sure how i will fair with newborn and 3 year old in one room.
THANKS |

re: childcare
Leon has been attendind PCS (Presbyterian Community Services) in Holland V, no maid n no help now + me working full time, he is there 845 to 630 and so far, i am v happy with PCS. After subsidy only $280/mth. teachers have good heart, he learnt a lot of christian songs, chinese songs, and enjoys the community of friends, always telling me who naughty who good boy, who eat who never eat, who vomit etc, think that social part is good for him.
they r honest also, will tell me if they scold him, and so far he has been attending for 8 months only one time he had small knock at playground and teacher informed us immediately. however they r not fancy la, not montessori or wateva, however at this age, i just want him to be happy and social. teaching him extra stuff, i do after work on my own.
think CC, depends on luck. |

re:childcare
keiran started fullday CC last nov & main reason why i chose that particular CC was because of low ratio....keiran has since picked up good language, manners, alphabets & numbers + writing etc..pretty happy w the school.. but recently the sch has been very popular and ratio increased..so iam considering withdrawing him for other CC esp since his fees are 1300/mth..
sigh.anyone has experience on withdrawals? as in the place the kid in a totally new environment with new teachers & friends? What's the effect on our kids?? any advise anyone? |

hi babyboy,
i've not tried withdrawing him out but will be doing so at the end of this yr. A bit worried cos he has a few good friends already. sometimes, he will also come back and tell me "Arron did this" or "Andy fall down". The teacher also told me that he enjoys playing with a few of them. dunno whether he will start the crying all over again cos he will have to adjust to a new environment, teacher and friends.
hi pupsandcups,
kayden's the naughty boy in class. haha... heard from the teacher that he will often go to the play corner and when the teacher asks "who's not in class?", he'll put the things back and stroll back as if he was in class all along. lucky thing is that the teacher said that although he's always doing some other things, he's paying attention to what she said cos when she asks him questions, he'll be able to reply. just hope he'll learn to be more disciplined when he's older. |

Hi pups,
If you are alone in the room managing both the new born and Leon, I think it is very tough. I tried a few times and they end up affecting each other. For example, between 8 – 9 plus is when I try to get #2 to sleep early but #1 will be up and doing all sort of stuff in the room and wanting my attention thus #2 really never get to sleep for long. Then by the time #1 finally cooperates to sleep at maybe 10pm, #2 will be up for milk and becomes cranky and thus disturbing #1 who is sleeping.
Unless, there’s another person in the room to control #1 to play games quietly or read otherwise it’s quite tough.
Enjoy your pregnancy and eat well! |

Thanks Erin & PUPs… we went to at least 15 CCs before deciding on the current school, many mothers on this thread may know that my boy has hearing loss and has to wear ‘an extra set of ears’ which leads us to finding a school with really devoted teachers who would be able to understand my boy’s situation and help assist us in wearing his ‘ears’ throughout the day + many other pointers that we need them to adhere by…… thus, this was one of the only schools that could at least put me at ease and teachers are also co-operative.. so the price to pay for this was high but at least we were comfortable with sending him there was the top priority for his case.
However, one of the teachers that have helped since last year is being transferred and that is a cause of concern as she was the main helper and assisted to ‘educate’ the other teachers for my boy….
If there are any other mummies who have since changed schools/CCs for their kids, pls let me know the effects and symptoms if there are any.
Thanks in advance…. |

Hi babyboy,
they usually will feel confuse over e first week, as everything is new to them, frenz, environment, teachers... in this case..e teacher is very important, once the kid is comfortable with one of the teacher..tat will make it more easier for e rest..
and the new CC need to have something that e kid is interesting to..for my case is the school bus tat he is travelling back home..
but first few days/week, he will cry awhile when i drop him off...but e teacher will comfort him..he stop crying just minutes later..
For my case, my kid take 2 wks to adopt to new CC..
hope tis might help.. |

Now everyone is sick except BB Nicole. We have put her isolated at MIL house.. no choice. Nat virus super strong! Her fever bounced back last night & coughing badly. Now only pray fever will drop and NEVER come back
I guess is adult virus as what the doctors been saying.... I just bought her to Sin Nam TCM last night and hope it helps in her cough now.... Lucky some of the western med she is taking can still contd...
Only pray she recover fast.. I am so tired too... sleepless nights |

Hi mummies,
seems like everyone is busy recently. can i check with u whether ur child is still taking milk? Kayden has been rejecting milk recently. only take about 60ml each session (morning, afternoon and night before he sleeps) but he takes a lot of solid. is it alright?
Hi Rain, SL and pups,
hope that you have a safe and smooth delivery. A bit apprehensive to have no. 2 but guess I'll be starting on project #2 soon. wish me luck.
hi augbaby,
actually saw u on sat when u were crossing the road with ur family. jazzelle looks very big now. Ur new hairstyle suits u well. have u moved? hope to meet up another day. |

Hi erin00
Crisann is still drinking a lot of milk. Can be 15oz each time. She was having v bad cough for few mths and doc suggest us to stop her from drinking milk. But is v hard for her cos she can't leave without milk. As per the doc, at this age is ok to stop milk since they are taking solid food.
Thks... Gd luck to u. Hope to hear yr gd news soon. |

Erin,
Nat recently also reduce her milk intake lo... But sometime have some better than none. I do supplement with UHT Milk too...
Fiona,
I guess just a transition for them to snatch cos mine also the same. But lucky part is Natalie always give in to Nicole... so i find natalie so poor thing. BUT nicole is one kind also. She is so fierce and use cries to get what she wants. Start to out of hand with her too.. CHAOS at home..
Any gathering coming up??? |

SL maybe reduce a amount of milk or slightly dilute it. some milk can be heaty, each milk feed remember to give them water before and after drinking milk. |

Hi Erin,
Aden drank 2 - 3 times of milk per day only. Cos' sometimes, after his proper meal, he requested bread, cake and so on and he eat again with us when me and HB is back again from work and eating dinner.
So, see him eat so much, dun dare to give him 3 times sometimes. Scared we overfeed him.
His morning milk feed is 150 ml and the 2nd milk feed is either 180 or 240 ml. So, total is around 330 ml or 390 ml per day. 3rd feeding if have, I would give 180 ml.
Think since Kayden taking a lot of solid should be ok. If you worried, can increase per feed of milk a little more, maybe 90 ml, instead of the current 60 ml? But it dependent on if he can finish. If not, no point. Maybe give him cheese for calcium too.
Hi Fiona,
My 2 kids also like to fight and snatch toys. Funny thing is if you have 2 about the same toys, e.g. I have 2 toy guitars. But they just like to fight for the same one.
Then 1 do 1 action, the other would follow. Headache sometimes. |

Hi crispyapple,
kayden is like aden. He's always asking for food except for milk. Think he's distracted by the tv and computer. am supplementing with cheese but just worried that he might be taking too little milk.
hi augbaby,
i was in the car so din call u. should be starting next month. just went for x-ray this month so dun dare to ttc. hope it won't take too long. i ttced for half a yr before i conceived kayden. somemore now above 30yrs old, worried that it'll be harder to conceive. just hoping that good news will come soon. |

Waiting for your good news Erin
Crispyapple,
Agree with you! One do this another will follow. When one shouting another scream louder!
Guess only have to wait till they older they will listen?
But joy is finding the house with more noise and not dull hehehe |

Hi Erin,
Yah Yah.. Same.... Aden only ask for food and not milk. Until now, I still spoonfeed him milk, otherwise he can don't drink any.
I normally give him activities to do as I bought a lot of those activities books from Popular and Borders and I also start buying Disney Playhouse monthly magazine for him too or see DVDs like Barney so that he sit there quietly for me to spoonfeed.
But now, since he's older, I use soup spoon to spoonfeed so compared to last time, it is faster to feed and his milk feed has already reduced. And 1 of the feed is in childcare. The teacher there says he got drink but thru cup and he drink by himself. Guess he just bully us.
Hi Cynthia,
Mine too... 1 shout, the other do the same... Like see who shout louder... Sometimes, 1 jump on my coffee table, the other also follow suit....
But indeed the house are more lively with their laughter, shouting and crying.... |

Hello mummies (Wave! Wave!)
SL,
Welcome to the princesses’ club like me, Cynthia, piyo…..who else have I missed? Enjoy the pregnancy!
Rain.
Welcome to the ‘How To Manage 3’ club like Kelly, yoshi, crispyapple…..who else…. Don’t worry, you definitely won’t go crazy….. you are just going through a crash course and before you know, it will be over.
Our thread has slowed down meaning...
1.) Our kids are super duper OK that there isn’t any headache or issue for us to bring up and discussed.
2.) Those mummies with maids are either lucky and are getting better maids OR are already immune to maid issues.
3.) The mother-in-laws are not driving the mummies ‘crazy’
4.) The hubbies have been relatively well-behaved.
5.) Some mummies are busy making more kids….
So, in conclusion, slowed down thread is GOOD, right?......the hot weather is making me a bit crazy…
Leobbsmom,
Evan is 8 month, how is his progress in weaning? My #2 now staging a protest, refusing cereals and pear puree so me stopping for 2 weeks and will launch a re-attack when she’s 7 month.
Cynthia,
New nick? Forget the old password? So, you enjoying being full time mum? |

Mummies,
Hi,
Had on and off log on here but seems no one post so i kept silent hehe.
Had been busy with Charlotte as well, had started her in Childcare with Cherie Hearts. First few days was Cranky, Now is getting better. At first feel very heartache to see her crying and i can see she is very stress. But today i see some progress in her, she listen to her teachers and she walk into her childcare instead of struggling to go in. can even say bye bye to me. So i guess after all it worth it. also realise she had learn to speak more and eat more on her food.
Overall tumbs up for her. |

Hi Mummies,
It has been a loooong time since i post on this thread. Have been sort of passive reading on and off.
Hi Rain, SL & Pups,
Congratulations! Hope you will have a safe & smooth pregnancy & delivery
Hi Eunice,
Welcome I'm staying at Sengkang.
Hi Erin,
Good Luck.....hope to hear your good news soon
Hi Amy,
Regarding some of your points,
1.) Our kids are super duper OK that there isn’t any headache or issue for us to bring up and discussed. [ My eldest child just started Primary 1 this year and we are still getting her settle for formal academic life. No #2 falls sick very other week, admitted to Gleneagles in March, followed by HFMD, etc etc....and just saturday, had high fever again!! HAiz.........No #3 - cranky sometimes. So mummies can imagine the chaos at night when 3 monkeys start to act up...
2.) Those mummies with maids are either lucky and are getting better maids OR are already immune to maid issues. [ Well, I just closed one eye liao. She wanted to go back for 2 weeks this July and I got to take leave and jaga the kids. Wonder whether I will go insane on the first day or not.]
3.) The mother-in-laws are not driving the mummies ‘crazy’
[ You bet!! ha ha.....Just that I told myself not to be bothered by her.]
4.) The hubbies have been relatively well-behaved. [ Hmmmm....leaves much tots. Told hubby i already have 3 kids to manage. Don't want to nag at additional one (him)!]
My workload has increased threefold since I returned from ML Hence, most of the time i run outside, seldom in office...so din come forum that often.
5.) Some mummies are busy making more kids…. [ hee hee...No time liao la] |
