Any 2008 MTBs staying in the East (Tanjong Rhu and Marine Parade) <IMG SRC="http://www.singaporemoth

Hi Jamie! Can I ask you something since your #1 is quite close to my girl's age (19 months). Did you experience your girl to lose interest in her lunch and dinner and doesn't want to eat?

My daughter had porridge until about 2 months ago. She didn't want to eat porridge anymore, so I thought she might want to start eating adult meals with us, since she likes adult food. So, we let her join us on the dining table for lunch and dinner, and about 2 weeks ago, she stops wanting to eat. She just wants to play with the food...

YES!! my girl simply hates meal times nowadays. at first i tot maybe got worms in her tummy coz she doesnt chew her food at all, so hv given her medication but still no improvement till recently i hv to on her favourite show like barney or hi5 then she will eat. at the same time i also try to cook more variety of food lor. but sometimes she also doesnt eat so i will substitute with milk &amp; rice cereal.
 
Phew.. so you have the same problem as me. Kate doesn't detest meal times.. in fact she loves it the moment the food is served on the dinner table. But, she just plays with her food, and spits out anything she puts in her mouth. Once my confinement is over, I'll try cooking western food instead.. maybe pasta or baked rice.. hopefully, she takes to it.
 
Purebliss, twins?? so exciting! identical?

Kimmies/Jamie - when shld i start adult food for baby? my sis says i shld start to stop puree food and give him rice n soup instead since he is already near to 1 soon. i tried last mth not to puree his porridge, he throw out everything halfway. think he doesn't know how to chew, although he has 8 teeth. but he loves his baby bites biscuits.
 
Hi Cyn, not sure what is the right answer, but I can share with you what happened with my daughter and newphew. For my daughter, she started porridge with fish and vege from the age of 5 months until she was about 18 months. The porridge she took was never blended. It was like normal adult fish porridge. Because of that, during this time, when we go out, she'll eat what we eat e.g. rice, pasta or western food.

For my nephew, his porridge was always blended until now 2 plus, it still has to be blended. He can eat chips and cookies etc, but his mum told me that he's too lazy to chew his meals. Now his mum has a headache trying to get him to eat normally..

You still have some time.. guess you have to persist. :p
 
cyn
i started my #1 with porridge abt 6mths old. but its never pureed. infact i never pureed any food, i just make sure the ingredients inside are soft &amp; lightly mashed. anyway porridge on its own already soft, y still need to puree?
as for rice, i started when she's 1 yr. maybe u contd not to puree your son's porridge, i think he's not used to it. dont give up, try again.
 
hi all ,

im staying in tampines ,any other mummy staying here as well. gong back to work on oct but now worry cause no one take care of my gal . don know how ..anyway i also don feel like going back to work (me lazy ...hehee)thinking of how to resign now ...

hi purebliss ,
wow twins ... it must be really tough on u .. was it boys or gals ... must be really cute ..
 
hi ladies

boy boy 1st birthday party jus over few hrs ago.. i have posted the pics in the other thread

http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/353640/812546.html?1220719733

Alot of food leftover!! my fridge now abt to explode.. ve to pass those that can't fit in to my sis (which is abt half of total leftovers)!

but cakes n cupcakes alot of "WOW WOW WOW", "NICE NICE NICE", "SOooo CUTE" fr my guests.. hehe.. very happy.. at least all the $ spent was worth it. taste good too!
happy.gif


btw, thanks ladies for the food for baby replies above.. i think to start with.. i think bcos my friend told me the pigeon food maker (which can puree food) was good then i got stuck using it now.. baby too used to it that's y difficult to switch.. which is wat also my mum says, if too long using this method, baby may not know how to chew even till 2yrs old.. so ve to quickly intro non-puree porridge, then can switch to rice with soup etc..

kimmies - the prob with my boy is whenever he tries new food, he will throw up everything includin his last milk or meal. which is very difficult to intro new food. even if its just a drop of it.

jamie - the puree food was meant actually for the veg n meat which is already soft in the porridge but its still in streaks or small chunks.. think i will use minced meat instead.
 
cyn
wow the cake &amp; cupcakes sure looks yummy!! we actually hv the same PG 2 tier- cake except mine is the strawberry shortcake character. where did u get your cupcakes??
 
thanks for the compliments!

the cupcakes are from LittleHouseofDreams..

Cat - if u order fr PG, u need to provide the toys yourself.. the only toys on the cake provided by them is the little plastic balloons and the candies at the side of the cakes, the "ANTONIO" edible wordings was made by them at $20-25 extra.. but i heard for some other theme, they do provide the toys.. think is sesame street.

hi cyn! wow!! sooo cute.
happy.gif
the cake is really super cute. I might want to get that for Kate when she turns 2 next year.
happy.gif


On the food part.. Kate is a super greedy girl. From very young, she follows my parents everywhere and gets fed all kind of rubbish food! So, she eats anything and everything. My dad insisted that this was the best way to expose her so that she does not become a bubble baby and fall sick easily... well, I hope I don't jinx myself by saying this, but so far, I think my dad is starting to proof that he is right. :p
 
cyn
yeah i also provide the toys myself. kinda difficult to get those small strawberry shortcake figurine. almost give up liao that time.

cat
so u hv to source early for those small toys/ figurines for the cake ya!
 
Jamie - haha, actually mine are all candles except the 2 big tigger and piglet at the 2nd tier which are megabloks i got fr msia. i didn't light the candles except the happy birthday words and the no. 1 pooh candles... so all can b recycled.. haha! cheapskate! save my effort next time.

kim - think ur dad is right. my mum says the same thing.. but abit late lor, bcos my mum is in msia, and we are here most of the time, so i have been giving pureed food for so long liao, then only my mum knew abt it, i didn't ask her previously..now ve to adjust slowly.
 
Hi Cat, was wondering if you have the same problem as me for Bernice.. My son, Isaac wakes usually wakes up at 1AM and then 5AM for feeding. So, technically (although with babies, there are no technical rules), the next feeding is at 8AM, however, everyday, no fail, he will always wake up at 630AM. I'm wondering if it's because it's his natural reaction to the sun rising.. does Bernice do that too?

Other ladies, any input?
 
hi kimmies,
ohhh i wish bernice can do what isaac does.. hahah. her feeding still every 2 hours at night and wont increase the amt
sad.gif
what is the qty u giving isaac now ? maybe u can give isaac abit more on the 5am feeding to stretch it ?
 
kimmies
i would think its their natural reaction. coz my boy also wakes up ard 8+am with or without milk.

cat
wow, must be tough for u to wake up every 2hrs for feeding at nite.
 
Hi Cat.. Isaac is having about 115ml per feed now. I'm going to suggest something quite politically incorrect to you.. hahaha.. and that is.. maybe you want to try using a *whisper* pacifier? Isaac is already on the pacifier. Of course when he sleeps, he doesn't use it.. but sometimes he's just fussing, and wants to suckle for comfort. So instead of giving him the bottle or my breast which would then disrupt my next feeding, I just give him the pacifier. He'll just suck at it for about 10-20 seconds, then he'll settle down and sleep and the pacifier will pop out automatically. Then, he'll wake up at the appropriate timing for the next feeding.

Yes, I think what Jamie says is correct.. sheesh.. which means that the 630AM waking up is totally unavoidable.. but I guess I shouldn't complain already.
 
hi kimmies,

my boy used to wake up with or without milk at abt 5-6am when he was 1 to 3mths old although his feeding times was every 3hrs. I usually get someone else to take care of him when he wakes up 5-6am so that i can ve ample sleep. Pacifier or not, he still wakes up every 3 hrs for feeding.. wish my boy was good as urs 1am, then 5am are v good timing.. i hate 3-4 am feeds! till now he hasn't sleep through the night, still wakes up at 1 or 2am
 
hi kimmies,
actually i do give her the pacifier as a last resort. ie i am too tired or during the time i go and make milk.. hahaha. actually bernice doesnt always want the pacifier, soemtimes she will not even suckle when i put it in to pacify her. so even if i want to routine her timing, it may not always work. Also my mom is against it, so cant use it when she is around. Then hubby will not let her go hungry so end up, her feeding is very erratic.. sometimes 2 hours, sometimes 1 hour .. sigh ... end up it's me that suffer.
 
hi cat.. I guess I am lucky, isaac takes to the pacifier.. sometimes, he does spit it out though, and if he does, I just cuddle him closely and pat his backside very hard, and the rhthym calms him down and he falls asleep. Maybe you can try that. Otherwise you will be totally shack out and you won't get to enjoy the process. :p Just my 2 cents la.
happy.gif
 
chinese always believe in not praising babies because the opposite will happen after that. Just after we are all saying how lucky I have to have only 2 night feeds, Isaac was a total terror last night!! Argh!
 
hi hi

didn't realised its been a week!..

how r u ladies n babies?
last wk, i jus brought my boy for his 3rd haircut, scream n scream like slaugther pig!

btw, any of u gals on facebook? u can find me there at [email protected]
lots of pic there.
happy.gif
 
Hi cat and cyn.. been abit busy having to deal with kate and isaac. kate always wants to play with isaac at all the wrong times.
happy.gif
When isaac is sleeping, she'll want to say hi to him, or kiss him, or play with his mittens. sheesh!

Cyn, I always have a problem cutting kate's hair. I cut it for her myself.. but just the fringe though, and that in itself takes about 15 minutes.

I'm on facebook.. [email protected]

Will add you gals!
 
Hi all,

Anyone interested in personalized CDs ? It's CD of songs whereby they will read/sing out your bb's name in it. It is currently retailing at $25. I've spoken to the supplier and they are willing to give us a disc of 20% if we hit a MOQ of 30pcs. Currently I'm consolidating from the Aug thread.

How it works is that, you first check for the name of your bb from the website to see if they have the name you want. Then you choose what CD you want. They will give us a promo code to enter so you can order from website directly for them to mail it out to you. But you need to order min 2 CDs per location. If you only want to order 1 CD then you can PM me to tag onto my order and then I will mail it out to you or you can collect from my place. I think postage should be $1-2 (I'm not sure).

PM me if you are interested.
 
Hi Cat.. I'll give it a miss. We listen to music in the car only, and the only CD that can provide any value add in the car journey is one where there are infant cooing sounds.. it really calms Kate down. We cannot live without that CD! LOL!

Hi Cyn.. I finally added an album. Heehee..
happy.gif
I usually blog, so I don't bother to update the facebook.

By the way, any mothers here whose kids goes to My Gym at Marine Parade?
 
Hi Cat, think i also give it a miss.

hi kimmies, i'm thinking of trying out JWT at leisure park or Gymboree at Marine parade (the building infront of parkway parade, where Mcdonalds is.. not sure the name of the building)
 
kimmies
my girl has been with jwt since 5mths old. stopped when i'm preggie with #2 &amp; now she's back there again. personally i find My Gym premises very small. u may like to consider their branch at great world? its big.

cyn
the jwt at leisure park is VERY small. personally i prefer lots of SPACE for our little ones to run &amp; play. i used to go to their UE sq branch but hv since changed to eastgate liao.
 
Hi Jamie

Can share what do u n baby do during JWT classes? So now, ur gal still at eastgate one? Is it big too? Great world too far..

btw, how old is ur gal now?
 
cyn
my girl is 2yrs. we go to the eastgate branch, its the biggest among the 3. programs include music (songs) &amp; movement. activity play station to boost their confidence &amp; coordination skills etc.
i hv yet to bring my boy (6mths) there coz his development seems to be slower than my girl. he cant really sit up yet for now.
how old is your child? there are different programs for different age group. for my boy's age, the program will also include music &amp; movement. alot of physical activities, abit siong for us mums coz we will be carrying him up &amp; down doing these activities. its great for bonding &amp; getting to know other bbs too.
 
What is JWT? Ya Jamie, Great World abit too far. Right now with number 2, I don't even have time to go to the supermarket!
 
kimmies

jwt is a kids playgym, similar to My gym &amp; gymboree. u can check out their webby http://www.jwtkids-singapore.com/
same here, with #2 i really hv no time for anything. i'm thankful that my mum is helping me out coz i dont hv a maid.
anyway there are only these 3 gyms (jwt, my gym &amp; gymboree) around our area to choose lah. u may like to go for their trial class before u decide which one u &amp; bb like.
 
Hi Jamie

my boy just turn 1. but he still has strangers anxiety.. no prob bringing him shopping but whenever anyone try to play with him, he will burst out crying REALLY loud!.. v malu (embarrassing)!! bring to friends' house, even worse!

so dunno whether if bring him to class, will he do the same or not..
 
cyn

my boy is 6mths also like that. esp unfamiliar faces, he will start crying. makes me wonder isit a boy thing?

i will still bring my boy to class, coz i feel its good for him to mix around with other kids. maybe u can go for the trial class &amp; see how it goes.
 
Hi Jamie.. yes, it's good to have someone help out, whether it's maid or mum. I'm quite thankful that my mum stays near me.. Like now, My husband, and I and #1 are down with a cold, so I may send my maid over with #2.. don't want him to catch anything from me. So, it's good la, at least got "backup plan".
happy.gif
 
Jamie/Kimmies - ya, its good to ve mum to help out! How i wish my mum can help me, then i can go back to work.. she lives in Msia... and isn't willing to travel down and live here permanently.. she enjoy her lifestyle in Msia.. she find it boring here... missing her friends and the comfort of her own house. (she complain my house too small! =D)

But at least she came down for 2 wks during my confinement.. only prob was my inlaws (fr Indonesia) were here (staying at our place), so it was so inconvenient for her to walk fr my sis (who stay in another blk) to my place everyday.

nothing compares to own mum.. not even MIL! that's the worst idea! (believe me! i ve been thru alot to say that!)
 
cyn
i totally agree, our mum is the best!!

must be quite chaotic during your confinement? coz kind of 'overcrowded' since your inlaws came over too.
 
Jamie - definitely!!! we had confinement nanny too, so can imagine how "overcrowded" our place was, plus my MIL keep finding faults with everyone (fr maid, nanny, me and even my mum) in the house during that time, so it was really chaotic! horrible experience.. not going to try that again! i actually went into postnatal depression.. lasted quite long bcos of her...
 
jamie - sad to say, that;s not all! they come v frequently.. n stay usually for at least 2-3mths.. they were at our place last yr almost the entire yr.. not only confinement was terrible experience, pregnancy time was miserable with them around. me pregnant still ve to cook and iron their clothes.. during tat time, i got no maid and i was also working, n yet have to serve them.. in the end, not appreciated, just last apr, volcano erupted betwn myself n mil, her reply to me was what i did for them during my pregnancy was "ying-kai" one.. i got so upset with them.
 
cyn
gosh, thats very frequent visits! poor u, already preggie yet still got to "serve" them. they must be from those old old generation &amp; thinking, that all DIL must do their duty to "serve" MIL. what crap?! really so pissed!! no wonder u hv post-natal depression. didnt your hubby help u out? at a time like this, hubby support is very impt.
 
ya, hubby even quarrelled with them but they are still his parents, nothing much we can do.. everytime it calms down for awhile, then tsunami come again..they r great actor/actress btw, always attack when hubby not ard.. hubby felt its not right to ask them to leave. they dotes on my boy alot.. hubby now dare not ask me to cook for them after apr incident.. it was a huge one until i left home with baby n maid! hope these ppl know i meant business! my mum wanted to confront them liao but i refused b4 the whole thing snowball into atomic bomb.

Can only advice to those who has daughters, better ask them to meet guys parents asap during early dating days to know them better b4 u regret. i only know RESPECT should be EARNED not given FOC irregardless they are elders.. just bcos they r elders doesn't mean they can bully the younger ones.

anyway better stop this topic b4 this thread turn into MONSTER-IN-LAWS thread. =D

where's Cat n Kimmies? why so quiet? bz with babies?
