My daughter also ate 2 meals of porridge a day with vege and fish. Her stool is about a small hotdog. Probably her body not suitable to take the Enfagrow. Thanks for your input!

For my case, my daughter also drink alot of milk formula and water before her sleep. So far only Merries and Japan Made Mamypoko will not leak out but just make sure need to wear it properly.

We try not to make it a habit to give her unless we really have no choice. Sometimes we pity her becoz she is the only toddler on the table and she does not have anyone to play with so we pass her a tablet or smartphone. But when there are a bunch of kids, i will not pass her a tablet or smartphone because i want her to practice her communication and social skills.

Wow.. can save alot!!!

After switching from Pediasure to Enfagrow A+ Stage 3, there are alot of times my daughter say wana poop but ended up nothing came out or just 1-2 marble size poop. Will still observe for a while. So far she has poop daily even though the amount is not much.

Luckily my daughter's stool is not that hard. But my wife keep complaining that Enfagrow A+ is not thatgood compared to Pediasure.

I also agree with Kenji1903. Toddlers nowadays learn things very quick. We should set a good example infront of them. I also have to change my bad habits when i am with my kids.

I scold them when they do something wrong or dangerous. Sometimes have to hit them on the hand or butt if she hit other kids 1st. No choice, haihzz..

I am amaze at how fast they can learn at their age. Got one time i had an argument with my wife (not infront of the kids), i was pissed so displayed my bad mood face and silent treatment. My 2.5 year old daughter came in and noticed the atmosphere. She told her aunty that Daddy is angry.
The 2nd time was i had an argument with my wife on the phone. She notice our tone was loud so she told my wife not to argue with me. We tried to explain that we are talking and not arguing. Then she asked me whether was Mummy being naughty? Does mummy need to be smack on the butt? LOL..

Sometimes when we see something funny together, my wife and i will laugh. She will tell us not to laugh if she doesnt find it funny.

Toddlers these days, lol..

Wow bro, where r u going for holiday?

Cool! I wana bring my kids to Japan but they are still young. I feel is abit waste of money since they won't remember any of it when they grow up. Probably I will wait till my young daughter is Primary 1, haihzz..

I didnt know got such thing as swimming diapers, lol.. There was one time we brought our daughter to Hard Rock swimming pool in Singapore. She swam happily for 1 hour plus and went to play the sand at the side. I notice she suddenly stopped her movement and displayed the "Better get ready coz I am pooping" face. I checked her swimming suit and dmn.. she poop in her swimming suit. I quickly rush to the nearby mens toilet to let her finish the job and clean her butt. Luckily she didnt poop in the pool, haha..

Yeah, sometimes wish to see their smile on their face and like to hear them say "Yeah!!!" while dragging us along when travelling to new places makes us wana go oversea holiday as a family. But due to my budget constraint, i only brought them to Singapore. Hopefully they can quickly grow up so i can bring them to Nagashima Spa Land amusement park!

Yeah, the accomodation is not cheap in Singapore therefore i always target agoda insider deals. Another reason i chose Singapore is becoz we could drive there. It is more convenient when u have kids.

U should really consider going to Japan! The culture is really different and the food is awesome. But prepare to spend alot, haha..

Mine is the way around. Now she have learnt how to inform us if she want to pee or poop. There were a few times she said she wana pee even though she is wearing a new diaper. We tell her to pee in the diaper but she refuse. So when i was removing the diaper half way, she start to pee all over my hands and i have to quickly use the diaper block it. After that, she refuse to the diaper coz is wet. There goes another Merries..

Yeah, once a while is ok. Furthermore u can chose non peak period now which is cheaper coz your toddler haven't go to school yet.

Haha.. u r right too!

Anyone gave their child the Pneumococcal Vaccine? My elder child is 2 years 6 months and my young daughter will be 1 year old next month and they didnt take this jab. I didnt know it was important until the doctor recommended to us. Singapore also include this jab as compulsary. 3 doses before the age of 1.

Thanks alot for your reply and advice!

I did some research yesterday. It seems like there are 4 types of Pneumococcal vaccine:
1) PNEUMOVAX 23 (Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine)
2) PNEUMO 23 POLYVALENT (Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine)
3) PREVENAR 13 (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine)
4) SYNFLORIX (Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine)

I will not consider 'Pneumococcal Polysaccharide Vaccine' because it is meant for:
1) Adults 65 years or older
2) Child who are at high risk of pneumococcal disease

Currently i am considering PREVENAR 13 because Singapore vaccines schedule recommend this type. It protect against 13 serotypes (strains) of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria compare to SYNFLORIX which only protects against 10 strains.

For Unvaccinated infants and children, Prevenar 13 recommend:
1) Children aged 7-11 months:
Total three doses of 0.5ml. Two doses within 7-11 months with at least 4 weeks apart; third dose after the first birthday and separated from the second dose by at least 2 months.
2) Children aged 12-23 months:
Two doses each of 0.5ml with an interval of at least 2 months between doses.
3) Children and adolescents aged 2 years to 17 years:
1 single dose (0.5ml)

For my case, i think my elder child can this jab now and she will only need to take 1 single dose coz she is 2.5 years old. Where else my young daughter is 11 months. Currently she is having red spots all around her body and the pediatric suspect is Hand Foot Mouth symptoms. By the time she recover, she will be almost 1 year old and will fall under Children aged 12-23 months. So mayb she only need to take two doses.

Well this is according to what i read. I will still look for my pediatric for advice as suggested by u all.

Thanks! i will compare the price on my next visit.

My 1st jealousy rant:
Now whenever my 2.5 year old daughter cry, she will say, "I want mummy!".

Envy u, haha..
My case slightly different. My wife also hot headed so she plays the devil and i play the angel coz i seldom raise my voice too unless is necessary. Whenever my wife scold or snatch the smartphone from my elder daughter, she will cry very loud and throw tantrum so someone will pity her. Funny thing is after she cry around 5 min and no one come to console her, she will continue crying and say she want Mummy. My elder daughter will still look for mummy even though the one who scold her is mummy, lol..

But ofcoz, my wife is closer with my daughters coz i only get to meet my daughters two times a month. I am rank number 2 only, haihz.. But my family in law envy me becoz everytime when i go back, my daughter will choose me instead of them even though they meet and sayang her everyday, haha..
