Milk Powder

Saw the title of New Enfagrow coming soon at huisia blog remind me that day I went to Carefore with my sis to buy some milk power, it had promotion with cheaper price on the Enfagrow packet. My sis bought 2 packets but I didn’t cause we went there by train dun dare to carry so many things.

The promoter show us they had release new product with add in some other nutritious (dunno what name). haiz..every year enfa will change something, it getting more and more expensive. At first when that time they add in the Choline, we decided to change to other brand. At the end, we not only waste the money but also the milk powder.

We bought Anmum brand to let my kids try, my son told me “I dunwan this ‘nen nen’ I want the old ‘nen nen’” when he just drank one slip only. Even my daughters seldom choose food also dunwan that taste. I had tried to smell why my kids dun like it, it really very big difference. It with the heavy corn smell, I also dun like it no wonder my kids dun like it. So the whole tin of milk powder just put there till ‘fat mou’ (expired).

Now we stick back to Enfagrow, dun dare to change other brand. It got it benefit, especially it not sticky and the power very fine. I like the feeling when I pore the milk powder into the bottle it very fine and smooth. That Anmum, not the same feeling I had when I pore into the bottle. I feel it so quite sticky and the color not so nice (yellowiest).

My mother in law also ask me no need change cause nowadays they drink less and eat more on meal. 1 month mostly they just drank 3 to 4 tins (1.8 kgs/tin) only, no so expensive.

Thumb and pacifier sucking

Saw Zara’s mama post about weaning Zara from thumb sucking. I’m very lucky that I dun have this type of problem. They dun have this type of bad habit, but they like to dick nose (hope can wean them off this habit too).

My son case, because of he is breastfeed baby (6 months) so he dun like to suck pacifier. I try so many type of pacifier but fail to let him suck, cause 1 of my friend told me that if dun let him suck pacifier he will suck his thumb. Later his thumb will be not nice and very hard to wean off. If using pacifier, you can just throw the pacifier but if suck finger you cant cut off the finger.

Everytime i saw my son put his finger into his mouth I’ll pull it out and tell him dun do that, it was very dirty to put finger inside the mouth. I just keep on pull out his finger till he dun like to suck finger. Sometime I just let it be cause he will keep changing suck his all finger, if he keep on sucking the same finger I’ll pull it out.

For my twins, I’ll let them use pacifier (cause I breastfeed them just 2 months plus). Sometime they suck till the next morning when they just few months old. So I decided to wean off when they about 9 months old. First few days were tough, after that they can sleep without it. In my opinion, if can wean off b4 1 year old are grate cause they still young cant ask you for the pacifier so can wean off easily.

So do the same, I start let them sleep by their own when they turn 1 year old (I mean no need to cuddle or hug them), it work for 3 of them. After 1 year old, when they finished their milk they will play awhile and fall asleep by their own. If I dun do that, I dunno how to carry 3 of them sleep in the same time..haha.

I dun like to see my kids like other kids at shopping center, they sucking their pacifier just like at home. I saw some of the kids suck pacifier or thumb too much till their teeth no nice. My friends show me their kid’s thumb which was so flat and their front teeth come out. She the one at first call me dun give baby suck pacifier, cause the same reason teeth no nice. Later, she told me better let baby suck pacifier cause very hard to wean off..haha..i didn’t follow what she said. I try my method, it work.

Easy Sleep??

That day saw MG blog about to getting a baby and toddler to sleep in the same time very interesting hor. About me, I got a 3 years old boy and a pair of 18 mth twins sound like very hard to get 3 of them sleep together.

At nap time about 1 pm everyday, I will let the girls sleep first cause they just need about 15 min to fall a sleep. They having their milk b4 nap, when the time finish the milk they fall a sleep liao.

How about my son?? Hehehe..He will watch the VCD next door or sometime will stay with my MIL. After the girls slept, I will accompany my son till about 2 pm then I will get him to nap too. Because no one play with him and he wake up early in the morning so he very fast fall a sleep.

The nite time about 10 pm, the girls all go up to sleep. They will have their milk again b4 sleep. This time they quite hard to sleep, dunno why?? After the milk, they will turn here and there to find a good position to sleep. Sometime they will kick each other and I had to separate them again till one of them fall sleep first. How about the other girl?? Because no one play with her or talk with her so she will fall a sleep after the first slept liao.

Where is my son??? Sometime he with his daddy plays online game or watches VCD again or plays at downstairs. After the girls slept I will get him to sleep, but sometime he will follow the girls sleep together.

If my son follow the girls sleep together, all of them have their milk first then I will told my son let mei mei sleep first then he can start talking or singing as he like. The girls dun dare to disturb their kor kor sleep and I sleep between my son and the girls. If they still turn here and there I just keep telling them to sleep. If they still dunwan to sleep I will told them “mummy will go out if you all dunwan to sleep, mummy want to do work”
Hehe..all of them dun dare to make noise and fall sleep very fast.

If I let them talking and laughing, I think I need more then an hour to let them sleep. Sometime I fall sleep first then them, when I a wake I saw all of them slept liao.

Accompany kids sleep sometime feel boring when you want to do something but cant and have to wait the kids slept first. It may take quite a long time just wait them fall sleep and do nothing. It seem wasting a lot of time, but sometime when my son talk so many thing that you haven’t hear b4 and sing some song just for you..wow.. it seems so wonderful. (Cause my son dunwan to sing a song in front of many ppl, sometime ask him to sing a song for my MIL he also dunwan.)

Eating

My girls eat a lot but they seem not grow so much. They now about 18 month old but just about 8.3 kgs nia, Early this month we bring them for jab, I though they weight about nearly 9 kgs gua but when we weight them.. HUH?? Carol is 7.9 kgs and Carrie is 8.1 kgs.

Haiz..dunno what wrong with them?? Everyday they wakeup about 8 am and I let them had 4 oz milk later they get some biscuits. About 10 am I let them bath after that they got some fruit again. Then about 12 pm they had their lunch. At 1 pm they had their milk b4 nap, sometime about 4 oz sometime I just gave 3 oz see how much they ate just now.

After nap about 5 pm, they had their milk again this time is 4 oz. Later they play play a while and have some snack again. We had our dinner at 7 pm, so they eat again. After that about 8 to 9 pm they still get some biscuits or bread. One hour later, they had their milk again b4 sleep it about 5 oz.

1+2dad ask me why he always saw the girls eating but they seem dun grow so much. I said I dunno, they saw ppl eat they will ask some from them. They non stop eating, sometime they will take themselves and ask me to open the food for them.

They not like my son will ‘choose eat’, they eat everything you gave them to eat. Include ice-cream, junk food and many. They drink a lot of water too, and like fruit very much.

Sometime I very happy they like my body shape cause I slim but sometime they make me worry, scare they wont grow properly..mother always worry so much. MIL told me they grow healthy mar ‘ok’ lor..she just ask me keep checking their grow. I ask pead b4, he recommend me let them change milk powder to dunno what brand got gain plus one de but I told him my girls dun like other favor so no choice to continue the recent milk powder.

First day without mummy at school

Below is my son saying out with his hard, I just type it out on behalf of him.

Today was my third day to nursery, also the first day without mummy accompany me. The first 2 day were just fun and like this school very much, cant wait till the next day morning.

But today, it totally difference form the last 2 days. Mummy just went home and put me in this stranger place without her accompany me. I just start cried when mummy walk out from the class and teacher just catch me and wont let me follow my mummy go home.

Teacher persuades me give me some cookies and let me play outside the classroom. Sometime I join back the class and sometime I just miss my mummy and daddy then I will start cried again. Teacher persuades me again and the kakak there also accompany me to play at outside playground.

Wait..wait..wait till teacher bring all of us waiting mummy at the front door. I saw my mummy and I start cried again, I said bye bye to teacher and friends. Teacher asks me whether tomorrow want to come again I nod my head.

I dunno why I nod my head but I really dunwan go to school again. Tonite must tell mummy I dunwan go to school, I dunwan go kor kor jie jie there tomorrow.

Just now b4 bed, I told mummy I dunwan go school. Mummy asks me why? I told her I want mummy stay with me at school but mummy said all kor kor jie jie there also dun have mummy stay with them, they mummy will get them when school over.

I keep telling mummy dunwan go school, mummy said I naughty cause I always throw things, bit mei mei and dunwan hear mummy say. I told her I dunwan naughty, I dunwan throw things and I dunwan bit mei mei. I will keep all the things and I will listen what mummy tell me. I wont be naughty anymore so mummy wont send me to school again.

Mummy said :
Poor litter darling! Mummy has no choice but have to send you to school. Your daddy wants you to learn something new at the school. I know you got stress till went back from school told me that your stomach pain but just want us to pay attention to you, and you so manja us. If next year start school you will also like that, mummy has to give you go to school earlier cause teacher can pay more attention to you cause just you the only one new at there. Poor darling, mummy not dumps you at school but will pick you up after school over. Maybe let you try few more days then daddy mummy will decide whether give you continue or not. Be patient, just few more days.
