dolphingal,
re: toilet training, in the beginning i let my gal go diaperless at home and i told her to tell me if she wanna pee. starting i didn't mind that she wet the floor a few times but i started to get frustrated & caned her buttock that she kept wetting the floor the whole day and didn't tell me at all that she wanted to pee. she was about 21-22mo at that time and could talk a bit. but a couple of frens suggested that i reward her with stickers after each time she told me that she wanna pee and that works! after that she tells me if she wanna pee or poo. but my gal is semi-toilet trained as in she still wear diaper when she naps and sleeps.

toilet training - I agree with Char, going diaperless is a good method, though often very messy and frustrating for the mother! Lots of cleaning up to do. Can also use cloth diapers (I have if you want, was gonna put them up for sale on the portal). These are not as absorbent as disposable diapers so kids tend to feel uncomfortable in them, so sooner or later they learn that in order to feel comfy, they musn't wet the diapers and hence will start telling you. Another method is to bring the child to the potty routinely every few hours. You'll need to time it pretty well so you'll have to observe for a day or two and check out when your boy will pee (as in how long after milk/meal). After that you'll just have to bring him to the potty at the right time. Tedious and frustrating too esp if he pees AFTER you give up after spending 15 mins going "shh, shh, shh" at the toilet. Haha!
Anyway, take it slowly. Some kids are more ready than others. And your son just over a yr old, still early.

toilet training
char,
my son still dunno how to say shh shh or pee yet.. so abit tedious..
jfoo,
yup i did let him wear cloth diaper.. but very tedious coz he refused to lie down n let u wrap.. hence i gt some training pants.. but the problem with this training pants is it doesnt even hold a single pee!! it's just like normal pants!! i felt so cheated.. =(
i did try to bring him to toilet at times to pee.. but he refused.. end up peeing on the floor n play with the pee! =(=(
but when do i decide if it's early or not?coz sometimes i realised he can actually hold his pee.. btw he is semi train coz he knows how to hold his poo n poo in potty. =) so now is the peeing part..

dolphingal,
some kids can hold back motion better than urine and vice versa. since your boy is just over a yr old then just hold back on the toilet training in my opinion. when 2yrs old can start again. i read that if start when 2.5-3yrs old, the training will be faster, 1week at most.

Cloth diaper - don't use the traditional white cloth, that needs folding, pins etc. The ones I use are velcro and push-on buttons. Exactly like disposable diapers. Anyway, as I said, still early days. You're half way there cos the poo-ing part is done. Give it a break, come back to it in a few months time.
I'm still trying to get Jayden to poo in the toilet! He managed the pee-ing part well (and that was almost a yr ago!) but the poo-ing part...ARGH!!!

hi dolphingal,
I got one or 2 bumwear. You want I can let you have it. You can try. My girldfriend chop the bumwear from me, but I think can spare you one or two. They are training pants style also. Don't stress yourself lilke you need him to be toilet trained by a certain age. many old folks like to scorn at mums whos kids take longer to go diaperless....no worries. its actually more convenient w the diaper...
Dor, I received this soap as a gift. So far, I tried on my skin, always get lotsa pimples during time of the mth,... I think it is good. helped to clear my skin quite a lot. I think it is worth the money, i've used on my skin only. didt try on children. our face so small, don't need a lot, so can stretch the dollar...hope this helps.

Dolphingal, yup, bumgenius is good, I have a few of the pocket type. THe other that is sim is called Happy Heiny's. I use these when we're on the move as they're the synthetic type so chances of leakage is low. At home I use tiny tush which is the cotton type. Feels soft and very comfy (at least I imagine so!) on the buttocks, haha! Reminds me of those tv ads for fabric softener where the lady will put the towel on her face, haha!
Newmummy, sorry, don't have mamy poko anymore. If you want I can buy from the medical hall at Pasir Ris, the prices there tend to be lower than NTUC, Giant etc. Or try Ang Moh at blk 85 (I think), heard that their prices are quite reasonable too?

dolphin and newmummy, will check the price for mamypoko for you. I can't remember...think it's $14? L size is 36 pieces or something like that...They only sell the standard size packs, not the big pack.
Newmummy, pull-up pants not as absorbent cos they're meant to be training pants, so want the kid to "feel wet". Maybe that's why they tend to leak more often.

If you are keen to find out the price of the diapers at Ang Mo, let me know. I can check for you since I will be sending my kid to school everyday at the same block.
Sunny, you can get waterproof bedsheet at all major shopping centres. Good time to check out now since there are sales at Taka, JL and Robinsons.
