Can't fool the kid, huh?


Then I tried to *test* him with words only, so had the idea of printing out the words and putting it in a photo album. ...Words only. And he turns that around too.

Ah, but that photo album is too flimsy. What other medium could I use....Hmm....

Bra Baby

Saw this at NTUC Fairprice supermarket this morning. Just great for washing your bras, and at a great price too!

Certainly great for keeping your Nursing Padded Bras in good condition!

One Million Campaign

NO MORE MILK SCANDALS
SUPPORT WOMEN TO BREASTFEED
Thousands of babies fell seriously ill in China because the milk they drank was contaminated with melamine. Some even died. These babies were not breastfed because
baby milk companies convinced parents that their products were better than breastmilk
women lacked adequate support to breastfeed their babies at the work place
women lacked correct information about infant feeding
Evidence points out how vital breastfeeding is to infant survival with health. Women are being forced to stop breastfeeding and give their babies infant milk powders because of lack of facilities and support to women to breastfeed and increasing commercial interference in infant feeding.

Potential disasters are waiting to happen across the world.

We’ll deliver our call to world leaders to implement the International Code for Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes and subsequent relevant World Health Assembly Resolutions, ensure breastfeeding friendly workplaces for women at the World Health Assembly in May 2009.

RAISE YOUR VOICE TO SUPPORT WOMEN TO BREASTFEED.

All OK

I delayed JR's Developmental Assessment bc of the Swine Flu, thinking it'd be too risky to our health and too troublesome, given the possibly long queues that would be at the NHG Polyclinics. But 2 weeks after orange alert was downgraded, we met with this long queue outside the Poly nevertheless. *sigh*. Not sick, so we were both given green stickers:

JR nearly failed his hearing test. He was more interested in the sounds of handphone ringtones and the queuebox buzzer OUTSIDE the assessment room than in the sounds coming from the little electronic box that the nurse was using as stimulus at different frequencies & sound levels! Thankfully, he "passed" in the end. *haha* I sure don't relish bringing him for a detailed testing - to "I don't know where".

Ha-Chooooooo

Ati-shoo!!!!! Flu? Thankfully No. Just a wave of dust, I guess?

With the recent swine flu pandemic scare, it's hearty to know that at least this alerts us to keeping clean at all times. It was surprising for me to read that more people die from the seasonal flu than what we are seeing from the unknown swine flu. 600 a year!!! in Singapore!

The best bet to keep up a baby's immunity is still...to breastfeed, breastfeed, and frequently. This is exactly what the CDC advises - initiation of total breastfeeding, continued breastfeeding if mother falls ill. And not to forget the 1st line of defence - clean hands. Now, how to stop people from touching baby when we are outside? Grrrrrrrrrrr.......

JR loves to read..and to be read to. This is one of his favourite books.


And...Mommy! Don't disturb - I'm reading!
