Jolene,
CONGRATS.....I have yet to u reply u in facebook. So envious of you..manage to 'squeeze' through b4 age 3X (haha..between u and me), or at least 1 or 2 weeks +/-
Ur girl is quite light, like hui's. Mine is 9.x Kg, i think thats the average for 1 year old girl. But my girl doesnt want to eat proper meal (like porridge etc), maybe its the milk/biscuits etc that she eats that help maintain her weight.
hui,
good to hear that u have a girl. I dont think u can close shop yet..u still have frozen embbies..haha
LY,
your boy 16kg u can still carry him ?? wow...saw your blog..i also left a message there..haha
Rae,
My girl also cannot sit still. Run around every moment..

Hi Dawn/ Hui/ Stumbleby/ Rae/LY
Thanks.
Hui,
That is great, a girl now. When u due??
Rae,
EDD will be 23rd Jan. That is few days before cny. Will have hard time finding confinement lady. Your first is also during cny, did you engage cl? Is yours good , can you recommend.
Stumble by,
Ha, that is what we have aim before that big 3X keke. You jia you.
Saw your recent photos. Your girl looks big. So envy she can walk on her own very well. Mine think got to wait for another few months.
Perhaps really is her intake of milk. My girl took on solid well and her milk intake is only 3-4 times per day.
LY,
Wow, your boy is really big at 16kg. Big and healthy. Must have difficulty carrying him.
Thanks.

Jolene,
3-4times per day is okay. My girl doesnt eat much porridge (usually only during lunch and its like two adult table spoon). her milk intake also about 4 times a day. Each time from 120ml to 180ml.
I guess some bbies just take a while to walk. My mum said i only walk at 15th month!
I too late to aim for that 3X, cos my birthday is few days before u..haha
Jolene/Rae/hui,
Will u try to breastfeed (longer) this time round ? I heard usually 2nd one it will be 'easier'. Maybe u can consult a lactation before birth, or join some support group etc.

hi
do your toddlers fall down on the head often ? How many times have they fell down (on head) since birth ?
Mine has fallen on the front of head for about six times. fallen on the back of her head for 2 times. today is second time...sigh..how ? on the back of head since more serious...
i know can watch out for symptoms, but besides that..is it ok ?
Rae,
I did consider playgroup. but still havent action. usually it is 2 hours right ? I will wait till she doesnt need morning nap anymore(jus 1 afternoon nap a day) then go..i read somewhere toddlers by 18months will usually just sleep once a day.

yes, mine fell down on head b4, front & back but ct rem how many times..... usually, it's cos he did not look where he is going
tink it's norm for kids to knock on heads but not too often. If they start to vomit, then better bring him to doc. ur 6 times is per day or different occassions?
yes, 2hrs. i found 1 just 2 blks away from where I stay but they do not hv 2hrs, just half day AM or PM or full day - childcare. Am sending him for a 2weeks trial, likely in Sep after his 18mths jab.... and see how he goes from there. We did not want to send him to too far cos will be stressful for both parents & child.

LY,
wanted to send him to NTUC but got to take bus from my place so a bit xiong for me (send him there) and mil (pick him up). am sending him to Carpe Diem Young Hearts but seems like not link to MCYS for the trial
www.carpediem.com.sg
will see how he takes it after the trial. Charges for half day (either AM or PM) is S$350 (after subsidy for working mums, S$150). For full day, it's S$445 (after subsidy for working mums, S$150). Since, am on 2wks AM trial, the charges are only S$175 and no need uniform yet. All these do not include charges of uniforms, mattress and mattress covers (for full day kids) etcetc.......

Rae,
the 6 times she fell is since she was 8 or 9 months, after she started crawling. usually fell when floor is slippery or when she couldnt balance(This was before she knew how to walk)
wow..still got trials. I plan to send to 2hours playgroup, not childcare. But does your son sleep and eat easily ? Mine doesnt sleep or eat easily, thats why i only consider playgroup. Does he sleep in morning ? I am scared if she goes childcare in morning come back super tired then sleep and miss her lunch. nowadays her napping hours more and more weird. harder to get her to sleep, sometimes she sleep only at 7pm for afternoon nap!
u are weekend mum so is your son not close to you ? Will he stick to your MIL ?
LY,

think it's norm for bb & toddlers to knock & fell when they are learning to crawl & walk. Till now, my boy also knocked himself against tables, chairs and corner of the walls cos when he turn, he did not look, just turn & walk. But got to watch out if it happens too often.
the centre am sending my boy to does not have 2hrs playgroup so hv to send him to half day. depends but compared to NB, he sleeps & eats better now. he will sleep either once in the morning, from 11am - 130pm or 2pm, then will nt sleep again until his bedtime. if he only sleeps abt 1hr in the morning, he will sleep again in the afternn for another 1hr plus.
i doubt my boy will sleep when he attends the lessons cos there's kids to accompany him to play etc.
yes, he will stick to my mil but more to my hubby. dunno y, he likes to cling on to his father since born...... if both of us are around, he will ignore my mil, only when hungry, then will look for her..... hehehehe

Hi Stumbled by,
Yes, this time am telling myself to have tbf. Must persist. So must be successful.....
Rae,
You are lucky to have your mum helping you for confinement. Ya, it's super expensive, i check a few at 2.6-2.7k.
Me too intend to leave my gal at childcare when she turns 18months. Hope mil agree. But the chances of getting virus is really high.
Did you gals inject your child with pneumococal yet? Have not injected yet, if intend to put in childcare have to do it soon.

Jolene,
Rae and I are thinking about few hours childcare. I am thinking about 2hrs, she's thinking about half a day. I guess if your MIL take care of 2nd one alone, need to put elder one in childcare then.
Yes, my daughter is vaccinated against pneumococal (the advertisement with a child disabled issit ??). It is 3 dosages. Everytime cost $150 or so, cant remember cos my mum is the one that brought her there. She has completed the vaccination already.
There is also rotavirus vaccine, but i havent done yet, not sure if will do.
LY,
I think playgroup is 18mths onwards can already. 3 years onwards is nursery, like N1.
Rae,
Maybe ur hubby play more with him, as in make him laugh etc ?
Rae/Jolene,
Just curious, do your bump show earlier now ? I heard from a friend as early as 1st trimester she got to buy bigger size clothes.

Oh, you injected her quite young. We have not vaccine her yet. Thinking to do it soon. Think after 1 year is 2 jabs.
Have done the oral rotavirus when she is few months old. That is recommended by pd.
2nd pregancy tends to be more obvious. Mine already show around 2nd month. Have already started to wear my maternity pants, feel more comfy.

Jolene,
Yes, lucky to have both mum & mil around. But cos of the differencs in thinking & methods, have conflicts with mil now & then but ct be help
. if can close 1 eye, i will but if not, i will tell her. is ur mil looking after ur girl alone now or u hv maid? My mil is looking after him now, tt's y, in order to lessen her load, decided to send him to childcare earlier. At least she has time to rest etc before my 2nd bb comes. Also, agreed with 1 mummy to send 1st child early & dun wait till the 2nd is borned cos ur 1st child will think we are abandoning him.
Have not send him for pneumococal and rotavirus jabs. When is good time ah? His next jab is at 18mths (Aug 12), ok to do it together?
stumbled_by,
think after my confinement, he took 2 weeks to look after him. Also, soon after i delivered & while in the labour ward, my hubby told him tt he's there & needs to settle some things 1st, my boy kept quiet for a while. Even the gynae, nurses & I were surprised. Mayb it's fate that they are close and good for me, at least he will not be a mummy's boy..... LOL. my hubby loves kids a lot and knows how to make them laugh, play and pacify them.
Yes, my tummy showed up sooner than 1st pregnancy and thou am in my 15weeks now, i looked like i'm in my 5th month. Asked my gynae & she said it's norm, our tummies have been stretched previously liao

Yes, must be about 1 month apart any vaccinations. My daughter also went for MMR then got rejected..haha.same mistake as LY. I think my daughter got 3 jabs for pneumococal, cos the 1st one was b4 1 years old. I heard the earlier take the better as their immune system is weak then..
Rae,Jolene,
wah..maternity pants from 2 month onwards, thats really fast. dunno how come my mum last time said her 2nd child she can tahan until 4th month then wear maternity. maybe i was a light-weight 1st child baby..haha

pnenomoccocal is not available at polyclinics..

Rae,
I ever called up NUH to find out too. Is around $150 per jab, however this does not include consultation fee. B4 the jab, u need to see the doc first. Thats Y i decided to let ryan jab at GP...is cheaper & can jab anytime. Mine is $167 inclusive jab & consultation per jab.

Hi all,
Do u have any TCM (using powder, not herbs) in the _East_ to recommend ? It is for woman's health(fertility). Cos after I miscarried last December, my cycle length is very long and discharge not normal (those mid cycle discharge or menses discharge)
My health also dont seems good recently. Just dont feel good.
I searched in the motherhood forum for TCM doc but dont find anyone suitable(near my place etc)

had called pnenomoccocal hotline for more details. Yes, pnenomoccocal jabs are not available at polyclinics. Info provided by Nurse Koon who ans my call, only GP & PD have such jabs and price range from $180 - $220 (depends if it's at GP and PD). So $150 is considered cheap. My GP charges $170 and will arrange for the 1st jab soon.....
