Hi all, Just wanna share my views on this issue... It can be rather traumatising for kids who are put in 'naughty' (I prefer to call them 'quiet') corners... so, give time-out appropriately, eg. 1 min for one year of age, and must always cuddle and hug the child and reassure him/her of your...

Hi, I visited it once when I was out looking for a centre for my boy about 2 yrs ago. The environment is nice but I thought the location is not so convenient unless you drive. The teachers seemed nice, the curriculum looks quite standard. Suggest you let your kid have a couple of trial lessons...

I'm thinking of helping my daughter apply to the School of the Arts via Direct Admissions next year. She likes drawing, cartoon drawing specifically. She's not so keen with other medium so I am not sure if she will stand any chance to get in to the 'graphic/art' at SOTA. Anyone has any...

hi Lynn Welcome welcome! :D Congratz on being a 1st x mummy! :) Enjoy motherhood! :D

Hi! Based on what I know (we have xbox, and have seen PSP and tried Wii), xbox has the best graphics but Wii is 'interactive' - so most kids enjoy Wii. Xbox doesn't have many games suitable for young kids and even the 'cartoon' type of games may still be difficult for a 5-year-old. For Wii...

Hihi! Any one has kids in classes conducted by The Learning Lab? Their reputation seems good (at least that's what appears to be) but their prices are exorbitantly high too! Is it any good? Thks! ~smm

Hi Zaza I agree with the mommies that it will be better for your son to be in a school and environment that will help him more than a regular school. Kids with Asperger's need special care from teachers who understand them and know how to help them overcome their fear and insecurity, and to help...

Hi Stonston It's true that most of us here discuss more on preggie/kiddo issues, but I think it's ok for members to share freely other topics too, as some moms (or few it may be) may benefit from the discussion as well. If there are those who can share deeper insights on 'specialty' topics like...

Hi Eliza Keep trying ok, dun give up. A little BM is better than none. Have you tried pumping? That may help stimulate more milk production if you think it's not producing enough. Also to note, it takes 6-8 wks for our body to regulate supply so it may seem insufficient during the first few wks...

Hihi all I recently stopped breastfeeding/expressing my boy after 30 months. There are many schools of thought, here are what I've gathered through various people and reliable sources...and some of my sharing as well: - frozen breastmilk once thawed, should never be refrozen/stored. Once...

Thanks all for sharing... my boy was on total BM till around 23months when my supply dipped badly due to a very bad case of stomach flu. Supplemented with 1 FM but gradually increased FM as supply continued to fall :( Had to work very hard to try and sustain it but it become really tough within...

Hello all breastfeeding mommies, Just want to share that I will finally be ending my breastfeeding career... today I should be pumping my very last session tonight! It's been 30 months! Suffered three cases of mastitis during the first year, had over-supply problem, freezer problem - once...

Hi Dodo I think he's really hungry, cos he feeds like 2-3 hrs apart? That's actually very good, cos my boy woke hourly to latch on during the first 6 wks! :O Reason is breastmilk is easily digested - almost all ingredients are absorbed by the body unlike FM, so baby tends to get hungry earlier...

No regrets at all. In fact I am very thankful and blessed to have my two kids. All the sleeplessness, tiredness and frustrations etc are no match for the love I have for them. I am sure all mommies love their kids enough to sacrifise time, energy, sleep, freedom, etc etc for their children. Yes...

Hi mskathy My boy had white 'stains' on his tongue too when he was a few months old and totally bf. An LC taught me to use sterilised 'gauze' cloth that you can buy from the pharmacy. It's used for bandaging wounds etc. Just dip it in cool boiled water and wrap around your finger and gently...

Hi autumn Yup! The kind of 'avocado' green looks very scary! Seems so abnormal right? Cos my friends' babies who were either TBF or PBF didn't have green stools when they started FM, so I got a bit worried. I read up some stuff on the net and mostly they say it's due to a change in diet...

Hi all For newborn and infants, esp. if total breastfed, it's normal to see green stools. So, don't worry so much ya. Cos my boy already 27+ months, it's unusal to for toddlers to pass green stools, so I got a bit worried. I have switched from Friso to Gain and it seems there are improvement. :)...

Hi mmy_lizz It's normal that milk is being formed near the end of third trimester. DO NOT pump cos pumping will stimuate contractions and unnecessary early delivery! Take care and wish you a smooth delivery :)

Hello all, So sorry for the late reply. I've been up to my neck recently due to a new work schedule - converted to working part time ~ I work half day but with the SAME amount of work! :( Hi Doraemon Yes, I got mastitis during breastfeeding - twice during the first three months! Due to...

I bring mine to Junior League - Suntec level 3, United Square level 1, ... think there are some more... They are kids-friendly.. toys available, TV with cartoons to watch for every seat to provide entertainment and distraction. Most importantly, they use child friendly and very safe shaver...
