It's not worthwhile to leave.
this forum is about sharing of information.
we share whatever we know regarding babies/kids.
we dun wish to lose someone who can provide valueable information.

 

[littlekid]

Hi Ling,
I think I know which 1 you bought but after brushing the teeth, do we need to use the cloth to clean the mouth?

Hi Jerene,
what is Spiffy? how it's look like and where can I get it?

Hi Jenny,
is there a BP on for photo shooting?? Can email me the details, please.

Hi Jackiejon,
my mum is using cloth to clean my boy's teeth too and worse he always bite her finger and refuse to let go.We used the finger brush to brush his teeth and he like it, then now thinking should i add some toothpaste on it, that why need some advice from the mummies here.

Hi Esther,
please don't go!!

 

[aspialle]

coral
admire ur spirit and perserverance still nursing till nw, saw Char pix earlier, she look like happy bb

so eager to see her in person

vivian
i like to see ur boy's pix leh, duno y certain angle i will mistook it as my boy hahaha
i like his skydive pix most

just nw fed ted with porridge (with little vege and scrape a little meat....tink he not used to it, first time taking, normally his cereal has some milk in it, this porridge is "plain one" so he give me a weird face, with a lot of question mark in his expression....seems like saying "wat is this.....no taste one"

esther
will still need ur moral support in future, pls stay...

 

[freshpoison77]

Hi littlekid,
I used the first teeth toothpaste for my boy. He loves the taste . But I will used cotton pad wif water to clean again cos scared the toothpaste too sweet.

 

[aspialle]

vivian
have u start taking the pills? today then i remember i forget to take for 3 days leh, die liao...too busy then forget...hope everything is fine...i dun wish to pop so soon haha

 

[snowpooher]

littlekid,
check out the business thread. I dun have your email.

 

[littlekid]

Hi freshpoison77,
Thanks and how many time you use to clean his teeth per day? If I use the toothpaste in the morning and night, is it too much of toothpaste to be swallowed?

 

[gemini]

hi esther,

dun go, will miss your advise...

hi freshpoison,

my mum also use the 1st teeth toothpaste. same as u, after using, my mum will use a clean cloth to clean again.

hi bbgrace,

roughly when time u will give emma cereal (the 2nd meal)? currently, tricia is only having 1 meal, (wkend - cereal, wkday - porridge) and i thought of giving her 2 meals also.

 

[littlekid]

Hi Jenny,
thank you. Btw, are you the one that tried Foto-u?

 

[snowpooher]

littlekid,
blur me, you are Wxxxx keke... I PMed you the photoshoot thingy liao.
Yes, Foto-U is me.

 

[littlekid]

Jenny,
ya lah, that y I didn't use my name here, heehee. When are you taking the photo shot? Don't know if I take BP but I want an additional album, how much will she charge me?? Are you taking outdoor shooting for this BP??

 

[nedlands]

hi <font color="0000ff">andreatyt</font>,
can start alreadi. can slowly intro a variety of fruits or vege so they would not be fussy eaters later on. also, if they dont like the first time round, re-visit it again in later weeks. they might change their mind. happy trying!

 

[snowpooher]

littlekid,
Sorry hor, I really mix up some names here kekeke... like shirley and starz, I dunno why, but I keep mixing them up!
Haven't decide date yet. I think bp price is not applicable to album. You check with her? Shd be indoor.

 

[freshpoison77]

Hi littlekid,
I only use every morning. His evening bath I dun use. Mayb shld start also. Think shld b okie since it's safe to consume and it's nt really excessive.

 

[babygrace]

<font color="ff0000">MAID INSTRUCTIONS</font>
I send them out tonight can? Now using a different laptop.

<font color="ff0000">TOOTHPASTE</font>
I use the First Teeth toothpaste for Joshua after he had more teeth. Safe to swallow. Before that i only use the pigeon silicon toothbrush.

<font color="0000ff">Gemini</font>
I let Emma have 2 meals a day 2 weeks ago. I need to fatten this petite gal mah. Her feeding schedule is roughly like that

6.30am Latch on milk
8.00am 150ml milk
10.45am Porridge
12.00pm 120ml milk
3pm 160ml milk
5pm Cereal with fruits / veg
6.30pm 160ml milk
8.30pm Latch on to sleep

I will give her a bottle at midnight if she wakes up. If not will juz let her sleep. Some nights she will wake up at 3am for milk.

<font color="0000ff">aspialle</font>
The porridge should be very sweet if you cook with pork and either potato, pumpkin or sweet potato. It's not bland lah. It's probably the texture that he is not used to. Emma is starting to appreciate it now. She ate quite a lot of it today.

<font color="0000ff">jasmine / starz</font>
i've got a toothless princess here also to join the bo geh club.

 

[delphine]

Babygrace/Jasmine/Starz,

hehe... me too will join your boh ge club, desiree is going to 8 months liao, still no signs no signal.

 

[gemini]

hi bbgrace,

oh, emma has porridge so early at 10.45am. sometimes tricia is still sleeping, so her porridge/cereal will only be taken at 12 or 1 pm plus... hmmm... so i think it will be a bit too much for her to take it if i feed her another meal around 5 plus.. around 4-5 hrs for her to digest.

for the cereal with fruits/veg, u mixed in the fruits/veg with the cereals or feed separately? there was once, i mixed in apple puree with cereal and my mum was nagging at me, anyhow mixed.

hi delphine,

there's a hokkien saying "7th month sit, 8th mth crawl, 9th mth teething. so still in schedule...

 

[delphine]

Gemini,

ya ya, my auntie did mentioned before, quite rhyme also... hehe, will wait and see lor.. keke

 

[andreatyt]

nedlands,

Ok, will let my boy try one of these days....dun know if can get the avocado from ntuc supermarket.

o u are Mrs Lim....i m Mrs Lim too....

 

[nedlands]

<font color="0000ff">mrs lim - andreatyt</font>,
ok, get those that is firm on the outside but when pressed, its soft then they are ready to be eaten. they come in green or brown.
mrs lim v common like the tan's and ng's.

<font color="0000ff">jenny</font>,
u took pics with foto-u? can i see them?

 

[jan09]

Dear dear Esther,
Please dun be upset and stay with us leh.. U gave me the deepest impression of all mummies, u know? First time went to Selina's house, u were the one with the biggest smile. And Dear dear Jovan (aka my potential son-in-law ) who melted both mine and hb's hearts.

Dear mummies,
Though I've been very busy (now got 2 bosses after birth...), I do come by and read the postings whenever possible. I've learnt alot at the forum and many of u have accompanied me thru my lonely pregnancy. Hope that we can keep this thread going until we ourselves become boh geh

Coral,
I like the Korean photo shoot

Char wearing booties made by your mum?

Vivian, Adeline, Selina,
Wow u all got trolley photos ah? So far we only let Andrea sit on high chair at Ikea. Ermm.. someone mentioned HFMD can spread from public high chairs?

Next time we'll bring disinfectant gel to wipe..

Mummies,
What's the market rate for nanny taking care of 8 months old baby? Next month, hb and I going to give $600 to nanny instead of $550. Is it too little??

 

[angelic26]

Hi mommies..
I m quite confused about what happened between jo, esther n hj. I jus hope everyone is ok..Compared to other mommies in this thread..i m quite a new member.. So I wish to know more mommies n babies.

Esther, I dont really know you..but I hope you can continue to contribute to Oct thread

 

[jan09]

Selina,
Dun worry lah. Let our babies take their time

Every baby is different mah. As long as they're healthy, we wait lah. Ok? My tenant said baby is the cutest when they have 4 teeth. 2 up, 2 down.

My nanny said that once the first tooth come up, the other teeth will pop out very fast. Jia you!

 

[babygrace]

<font color="0000ff">Supermarket trolley pic</font>
I've also got one to contribute but it's Joshua instead of Emma. We used to go to the Cold Storage at King Albert Park where they have the infant carrier attached to the trolley. But Joshua looks quite pissed off in here

<font color="0000ff">Coral</font>
Char looks so cute in the 2 pics! I wanna hug her!

<font color="0000ff">Gemini</font>
I've always been mixing sweet potato / pumpkin / avocado / apple / pear into cereal. Emma doesn't like to the take veg / fruit on its own, maybe the taste is too intense. so I mix them with BM and cereal.

 

[superparanoid_mtb_selinaang]

<font color="0000ff">coral</font> oh those pixs were taken b4 i shave him again. tis is how he looks botak again. not much diff from the last time but tis time round his hair grows out faster n seems like more also. now feels like carpet like that.

[superparanoid_mtb_selinaang]

<font color="0000ff">bbgrace</font> joshua does look pissed

 

[ling1312]

Esther
How can you bear to leave all these cute babies here? (and it's because of 1 person, are our babies having less power than her to make you stay?)

Littlekid
I'm using 1st toothpaste also. Think it's available easily at all guardian.

Here's Max lower 2 teeth at 6 mths and it's true that once the 1st teeth is out, the rest will come very fast. Will try and take pics of his 4 upper teeth.

Taking pic with orang utans when he was 6 mths.

 

[vivian_phoebe]

Yeah... it is always great to come to the thread after a tiring day and saw so many cute bb pix...

Aspialle,

[jerene]

LittleKid
I got the Spiffy from Isetan. It is an indivudally wrapped piece of wet-tissue material especially for cleaning baby's teeth, gums, tongue and inside of cheeks. You just wrapped your finger around the Spiffy and dive right into your little one's mouth!

Let me jump on the bandwagon too. Here is one of my hubby's fav pix of alexis:

 

[jerene]

adeline, coral, bbgrace, selina, vivian, janice and Ling
Wo heng xi huan ni men de zhao pian!!

btw I overspend in Isetan today, sigh...

 

[superparanoid_mtb_selinaang]

<font color="0000ff">vivian</font> i posted some pixs of him taken on may day on monday. u saw those? i quite like those too. yes botak makes him look like bb again. i prefer him botak cos looks cuter.

<font color="0000ff">jerene</font> xie xie! ni de Alexis de zhao pian ye shi heng mei wor.

 

[coralmarine]

Selina, you makes me want to run my hands over Caleb's head. Must feel damn shiok!

Bbgrace, Vivian, Mrs Au, Delphine(for your earlier compliements), Char thank you all fro the compliments.

She had fun initially but later hor, I think she confuse, why so many ppl want to get her attention and make her laugh.

Bbgrace, why Josh so pissed? Cant reach out to touch the products? ;p

Mrs Au, haha, you still worry not enuf money to qualify for delivery. And I like this pic of Alexis too. So babylicious. Her smile is very demure.

Ling, Max loves the oo? Been wondering if it's good time to bring Char to zoo. He certainly knows how to show off his new pearlies.

Janice, yap, booties and hat fm my Mum. Your Andrea looks more grown up liao. Still a beauty.

Vivan, your Rhys also like flash cards? Char loves them too. Refuse to let me stop. Must keep flashing. Once I start full time not sure if my Mum willing to flash for her...

 

[ling1312]

Coral
He's ok when we went, curiosity gets him staring at the animals. But it can be quite hot and he'll get cranky esp when he's too tired. ( towards the end) We were very tired cos he dun like to sleep in pram end up we adults suffer cos need to carry him till he's asleep then put in the pram.
Char's willing to give you the attention when you flash the cards? Max cant stay focus for more than 5 mins. Any advice on flashing cards?

Selina
Are you going for the runway cycling/skating? Envy, you can shave Caleb's hair so many times. Max has got minimum hair from 1st mth till 6 mths still same pattern (from the pics above). Can't bear to bring him for haircut.

jerene
All babies in this forum are handsome and pretty.

 

[superparanoid_mtb_selinaang]

<font color="0000ff">ling</font> yes will be going. my friend is signing up for us. he is in the airforce.

 

[ling1312]

Selina
Oic. Dun need SAF personnels to sign up 1. Hope to see you there, me and hb also going skating. We go every year (except last yr when i was preg) but this yr with additional member. There is also a samsung inline skating coming up.

 

[superparanoid_mtb_selinaang]

<font color="0000ff">ling</font> same here. annual event for us except last yr. i know but he trying to see if can get parking cos it will b nightmare there. but wif caleb dun think can do speed skating anymore.

i missed the samsung one cos preggie so cant go.

 

[jerene]

<font color="ff0000">Coral</font>
demure and alexis in one sentence? first I heard of! But thanks anyway, I lapped up what I can

Yes we def qualify for free delivery, at least 3 times over! I asked them to deliver after 28 May since that is the day we are moving so must wait a little while hor...

<font color="ff0000">Selina</font>
Many many xie xie, wah you and <font color="ff0000">Ling</font> are competitive skaters eh? Then I dont dare to jio you go ECP skate as I am a ban tong shui skater.

<font color="ff0000">Ling</font>
I followed someone's advice and used powerpoint to 'flash' alexis. Just click click click! She has a short attention span too...
