(2009/07) July 2009 MTBs

linsu, the maclaren that can be fully reclined is Techno XT. I think Sam also got it. It's super sturdy, when Nigel injured his knee, he still can sit in it (he's 20kg). if you want cheaper then can take the previous year model. Last isetan private sale got ard $400.I can say, it's a great investment and worth every single penny I spent on it (as now used by my #3). Naomi is using the Day tripper now, cannot fully reclined but very compact. She sleeps on it too.

Merry Xmas everyone! for those going to church, there will be Children mass for Xmas celebration at St. Mary of the Angel tonight at 8.30pm. the church is so beautifull on xmas night, fully decorated and lighted up in candles.
 


Linsu,
Mine is Pramette. Old model. Equivalent is piko 3, only diff is u can't switch it for baby to face u. If not wrong, peg perego switch is the current model u can use both way now.

Merry Merry Christmas to everyone!!!
 
Linsu,
I bought my techno XT this yr ard CNY time fm Taka. It was an older model, 08 I think, and paid ard $380 (def less than $400). I like that it's very steady but can't seem to work it with the buggy board for my #1. If I would buy again, I may go for pliko 3 that comes with the footrest (standing bar) for older kiddo.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
 
Noelle, the buggy board can fit into XT. (need special hook/connector).May be u need to ask the guy at mothercare or baby hypermart.
 
Thanks ETirto! Bought the buggy and the stroller fm Taka, haven't gotten it to work properly since. The connector comes off after a while, making it really troublesome to use -_- Ok, I'll chk out if I'm missing the proper connector.
 
Haizzzzz, I have enough bad news for the month. Duno where to vent and don't feel like putting on fb.

God took away my close colleague foetus, again, again, again and again
sad.gif
I do not know how to encourage him anymore. I just kept quiet and listen.

Took away someone I know in sibu island yesterday.

And I wonder if he will take away another young colleague of mine anytime soon because of breast cancer.

They are all very nice people, why...

Please god, heal those whom u left behind.
 
Peanut,
My month was not much better. My close cousin, grandma-in-law and mum all hospitalized and I lost someone. My heart is raw and painful, and every time I think I'm getting better, someone comes and stab me in the heart again. I feel like going to hide under a rock till I'm all healed and the scars so thick no one can penetrate through and hurt me again.
Sometimes things just happens. Time is a great soothing balm, it's just how long the healing process takes

Hi Peanut and Lamagier
Sorry to hear the sad news, I hope you feel better in the new year, have faith that things will be better soon.
 
Any mommies start using toothpaste on your babies (oh well, toddlers now hehe..)? Can share the brand of toothpaste? TIA!
happy.gif
 
Linsu, I'm using Jason's Earth Best toddler toothpaste, comes with a finger brush, so her bite won't be so painful and lets her get used to bristles, although prior to that she's been using the Pigeon Step 1-3 brushes anyways. She will show me that she's brushing lar, but you know kids, I think more like pretend brushing, so I will use the finger brush on her either after/before she brushes on her own.
 
Nope, the Earth's Best toothpaste has no fluoride, and safe to swallow, though I'm also training her to rinse her mouth by copying mommy. So far I only got her to stick out her tongue while rinsing... bleh... Following instructions on the box, it's only pea-size amt on the brush, and most times, it runs off the brush, not exactly gummy/sticky as our regular adult toothpaste. I would say it's more to introduce the use of toothpaste and routine, rather than cleaning.
 
Everyone already introduced toothbrush/finger brush to the kids?
Oh dear, mine haven't... I told MIL to start but the poor her always kena bitten by my mischevious girl who thought it's damn funny to see our painful expression... So we put on hold till now... hmmm...
 
Thanks inkling, chiyojade

Linsu,
I'm using Spiffies and a normal kid toothbrush cos my girl wants to hold toothbrush just like daddy & mummy. But the bottle toothpaste is actually clear liquid type. So I'm not sure if it would be good start to ease her into normal brushing. Will switch to gel type after she finishes her current bottle
 
hi mummies,

weird, even the thread that i announced was preggy is still here...now to update all, i just had a natural miscarriage..yup even before I could go to my gynae for a confirmation, I had heavy bleeding and the tissue kinda passed out...

at least that's what the docs at KKH told me after my blood test was analysed...guess it was not meant to be afterall...

was kinda weak both mentally and physically but now much better thou...

i just see my 18mth old with a different pair of eyes now..every kid who is born into this world is definitely a blessed one....
 
Blessed,
Hug. I didn't want to post initially. My edd was 1st july 2011. D&C exactly 4 weeks and 3 days ago. And the 5 stages of grief don't come in sequence and they can revisit.

I didn't tell my colleagues cos i sit next to a pregnant lady and 3 others with pregnant wives. I've been keeping a straight face and very patiently answering pregnancy questions though it's killing me. I'm reaching breaking point soon...
 
blessed09 & lamagier
be strong & take care for time being, okay? God will only give the best to us so have faith and sure could get a healthy baby again *hugs*

lamagier
oh dear, actually sharing would make u feel better & easier rather than keeping it... try to stay positive, ok?!
 
lamagier n blessed09
sorry to hear bout the loss. hugs to u girls..

before I had Edna I had 3 m/c.. like blessed, it was a natural m/c that i did not even know it was a m/c!!! until gynae said so
can understand how u girls feel.. stay positive!
 
lamagier and blessed09,

Hugs to the both of you. Just hang in there and like linsu said, just share here if you need to - it does help to get it out..hang in there.
 
Haven't managed to visit the thread for a long time and just read all the sad news. Lamagier and blessed09, sorry to hear about the m/c. Sharing does make you feel better, hang in there.
 
Thank you mummies.
I'm just trying to slowly process everything and make sense of everything. It's better, but it takes time. What's a reasonable grieving time?It's hard to share cos the few people who knew, in summary, told me 'you are already very fortunate. Be happy. get over it.' They don't want to deal with a grieving mother. I need time to grieve for the baby whose heart I heard beating, but stopped. My baby died the week my sil gave birth and my cousin got in accident. I can't bring myself to carry her baby.

It's baby/pregancy talk all the time at work cos so many people have young kids or kids on the way. I tried to stay sane and normal. My very pregnant colleague who sits next to me keeps asking me birth question. I'm reaching breaking point. I just keep reminding myself they do not know.
 
Lamagier / blessed09 <<<<hugz>>>>

I know is painful but stay strong! Believe your gynae would hv shared 20% of the preg woman will encounter m/c. Jus count unlucky. Now most impt build up your immune system.

I hv my d&amp;c in 08 &amp; managed to conceive hardly 2mths later with the help of tcm. He will be in my heart forever. Till now i didnt even share it with my own mum.

There is always hope.

Hbb, u r a strong mummy!
 
Twinkle
Yah, HBB is one strong mummy. I'm just grateful I have MR who helps keep me dusy and prevents me from dwelling too much and overthinking

TJE,
My boss said the lady sitting next to me was informed. Anyway, i'll remind her the next time i get pushed to my limits.

Blessed,
HHope you are coping well
 
lamagier
whoever who said that u are already very fortunate and ask u be happy and get over with it is definitely very insensitive!
no matter how happy and contented a person can be (like me), we are bound to grieve over a loss! becos we r made of flesh n blood! we have feelings!!! me being yr friend feel sad for you despite we r not related, let alone its ur own child

mayb u shld realy share with them what happen and they will be realy understanding to feel for you n avoid asking you qns until you r ready =)

i know you are a strong mummy! min min will heal all the pain n sadness in you=)
 
lamagier and blessed,
Hugs to both of you for your loss. Take your time to heal your heart.

lamagier, just ignore or dismiss the questions if you don't feel answering any. You don't have to share if you are not ready to share your grief with others, lest people don't feel the same. I believe like what TJE says, God will give you the best, and you'll find another perfect addition to your family.
 
Mummies!!!

EVA FOAM MATS BANNED in Belgium and France.

http://longleanmama.wordpress.com/2010/12/16/foam-play-mats-being-banned-in-europe-whats-up/

http://longleanmama.wordpress.com/tag/tadpole/http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/15/142227.page

It's those FOAM mats that a lot of us have at home. Those square ones that interlock!!

My friend told me about it today and I just went online to check. I would like to find some official site about it (i.e. not a blog or personal website), so once I do, I'll post stuff and anyone else who finds anything concrete, please post and let us know. I have put my aside for now.
 
Better remove them - better late than never. What if those have cyanide? So scary!!!! The fine in France is 20K if you sell it.

I've alerted a friend who works in ST and she'll let her friend know and find out more and hopefully write about this!
 
Oh gosh. Ah! I gave mine to Inkling! Need to inform her about the foam mats...

Thanks Sam.

HBB,
Those who made the comments are people close to me, as only a few selected people know of the pregnancy, but just that they are single ladies and middle age men. I have come to the conclusion that they do care and want me to feel better. But it's just their delivery wasn't tactful and made me feel worse. I gave up trying to talk about feelings with them cos they can't handle it. I'll just try to manage it till I can feel better or if need be, go see a counsellor
 
Re: Growth Spurt
Any mummy whose kid is going enormous appetite at the moment? I'm wondering if it's a growth spurt, but her appetite has been on the increase since 3 weeks agao and shows no signs of tapering off.

Starting from last week, MR has been glurping down 250ml of milk with her dinner (a big bowl of poridge), then ask for another 250ml less than 3 hours later. And she started waking up between 4-6am asking for milk again. I wonder where does she find the space to keep all the food down.
 
Lamagier thanks for the warning,much appreciation. I have kept them away. Will probably bring it to the recycling bin soon. Chiyojade, thanks for highlighting this.
As for growth spurt, none for my son but certainly for my daughter, she is now able to finish an adult portion of duck rice or kwey tiao soup! MR is eating very well indeed, I am impressed.
 
ehh edna is always having growth spurt... occasionally she will have normal appetite.. but rare
i tink 18 mths gt growth spurt!
 
lamagier,
wah... MR is eating &amp; drinking well... Mine is not drinking more, still stuck at 150ml frequency at 5-6 times a day and started to get v v fussy with food, only meat meat &amp; more meat... Refuses to eat vege, fruits, porridge and baby food... already so skinny liao but still so picky with food, headache for me coz she's super underweight at 8.8kg and is below 5th percentile for her age/height... pls tell MR that Gen is always there for her if she wanna donate some weights to her...
happy.gif


Re: Snack time at school
Gen hated the snack at her Playclub, she took a bite at the fruit, raisins and biscuit and immediately spit out... Thereafter, she started to "accidentally" throw piece by piece on the floor thinking that no one will notice and throw some into her cup of juice coz she hated the snacks... I thought that usually kiddos love snack time at playschool, but it doesnt seem to be the case for her... anyone else facing this problem too?
 
Lamagier,
Sad to hear the bad news... *hugz* *hugz*
hope time will heal u soon. U have all of us here to hear u out. Remember those earlier days when we can chat abt anything here.
happy.gif
I kinda miss those days.

Re growth spurt
I did ask myself that too a few days back... She keeps asking for milk. N she's eating non stop especially after dinner time. I didn't give in to her additional request for milk as I m not too sure if it's really growth spurts or she's just finding food to distract her sleepiness/tiredness.
 
Thanks BBethan. Yah, when we help each other analyse if each contraction, pain etc deserves medical attention or complain about spouse, parents,in-law, confinement ladies, uncoorporative babies, mastitis.

TJE, wah, JE catching up for the lost weight fast! Where does she pack everything?
OK, now I'm not so worried. At least mine is not the only crazy eating toddler around (Haha, there's still Chiyojade's Y too)
I asked the PD &amp; he said just let her be. They need the fats for brain development so don't try to restrict their diet.

Dino-mum,
Your dino is smart. She can try to hide her food rather than just outright refuse &amp; risk starting a food war.
 
hmm... well my boy in opposite. for past 2 months he drinking not more than 50ml per day. recently more. but wont exceed 150ml per day. i feed him cod liver oil afraid he dont have enough calcium.

as for solid, really depend on his mood. sometimes jus one meal per day. he dont look skinny to me. currently ~ 9kg+.

bbethan, what's amanda's weight now?
 


lamagier, oh dear...hugs to you too...am logging in after awhile too...

rest of the mummies... - well im coping better now, at least am one stage better than lamagier as i did not even get to see /hear my baby's heartbeat...yup I also have a preggy mom in my unit and just hid the whole news from her as she is a 1st time mummy going into her 4th mth now..

my closest colleagues do know wat happened coz i had to tell them in case am emotionally down during that period...kinda helped coz they were extra cautious and even blessed as one of them sent me flowers and a cute teddy to comfort me when she left for a holiday...

at least my lil one at home now is taking up most of my time and need to keep up with is latest 'super active' persona!
