MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby in CAR SEAT Contest-Entry 2 (Shone)
MomBloggersPlanet is having a second contest for Cutest Baby. Check out my last entry for Shone
here and KY here . Despite not winning any prize, we all had fun I think...digging out or taking red pictures for our kids.
This time round their contest theme for July is MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby in CAR SEAT Contest. Just so happened that my DH loves taking pictures for our kids sitting on car seat.
Check out Shone(who just turned 1 yr old this June 20, 2009) picture sitting on a carseat here with his leg right up haha:
I think babies/toddler should always sit on a car seat even though as they grow older, some simply hates being confined in one. Shone for e.g is getting impatient after more than 10mins on a carseat and can struggle his way out of carseat now. Scary....I think the carseat seatbelt is kinda loose now after his frequent struggle on it...I must refasten it tighter. Usually only food can make him sit still on a carseat. How about your kids? How do you make them sit still with without much fuss or struggle?
Oh yes, friends, if you like to participate in this contest,..check out on their site here!

MomBloggersPlanet is having a second contest for Cutest Baby.
Check out my last entry for Shone here and KY here . Despite
not winning any prize, we all had fun I think...digging out or
taking red pictures for our kids.
This time round their contest theme for July 09 is MomBloggersPlanet Cutest Baby in CAR SEAT Contest.
Just so happened that my DH loves taking pictures for our kids
sitting on car seat.
Here is KY (who is turning 3 this July 25) sitting on car seat on our trip to Cameron Highland during CNY in 2008.
I think babies/toddler should always sit on a car seat even though as they grow older, some simply hates being confined in one. After having two kids however, it's getting rather "crowded" to place two car seat in the car, however, safety is the most important and I am glad to find a more portable hook on toddler car seat at MyDear Warehouse sale at RM46! KY loves sitting on it and I am able to drive her around without having worries that she might struggle out.
So now friends, if you like to participate in the contest below...check out on their site!

Constipation on kids
KY would sometimes complained to me that her stomach pain then I would check her tummy and often find her stomach rather huge...and "bloaty".
Some of the ways I found to be found useful to prevent constipation in kids are:
- Feed them oatmeal every morning. My son would normally do the "business" right after each oatmeal breakfast so much so that DH and I would be on standby to wash Shone up after feeding him oats.
- Give them fruits daily, like kiwi, papaya, bananas, guava (I find that these fruits helps in bowel movement)
- Make them drink lotsa water. Every morning after wakes up, once they wake up from nap and before they nap.
- I made her check her urine each time she pass urine. If it is yellow color and smelly(70% of the time IT IS!), means she didn't drink enough water and she would need to drink lotsa water immediately..normally this works..
- I would do rounds of toasting with her...wedding-style like-YAM....SENG....or western style....CHEERS..... with my water bottle and hers...
- Let her have her favourite Yakult drinks and sometimes 100plus as well...(nope she doesn't like Ribena...at all)
I think the fact that he's been trained since newborn(as early as 2 weeks' old) to drink water after each feed and each time he wakes up helps. Although it may be contradicting what most experts says about not feeding a breastfed baby water as breastmilk contains lotsa water.
BUT I find that KY which I follow the expert's advice doesn't like drinking water later on...but with Shone I followed my auntie's(who's a nurse in S'pore and breastfed her two child) who feels that in our type of weather..drinking water is very important even for breastfed child as long as it doesn't interfere with their breastmilk intake.
So well..it's very much up to our own discretion and wisdom? Check out this article in TheStar , "Is your child constipated? "
Water water...drink lotsa water does help to prevent constipation I felt...
Cheers....have some water NOW!

Why you didn't ask in the first place?
This morning I went to Tesco to try returning a shoes I bought for Shone (too small..even at size 5...when KY can wear size 4 at his age...hmm..underestimate his feet size...for one year old kid..hmm). But deep inside I thought hmm wonder if I can just get a refund instead of getting another shoes as replacement...but I only ask this question silently and not ALOUD to the customer service personnel...SIGH...
So I wasted my time searching for suitable shoes(yet again...I should have known there's no more design and size suitable after my last visit..else I would have got it...)...and FINALLY i returned to the counter with a shoes for KY instead even though she doesn't need another shoes as I have got her a new one when I bought one for Shone...
Then I told myself why not I try asking for refund instead of buying another "not-needed" and "not so nice" shoes for KY. So I asked and I got my refund...cheh...this episode reminded me YET AGAIN....ASK ...ASK.... you won't lose anything except getting a NO as reply...if you DON'T ASK, what you get FOR SURE is...WASTE of time, opportunity and etc etc...
So folks..here's my lesson thought for the day! Have you been ASKING every now and then like how our kids do? Smart little ones...haha...I am not even at their par.."shy"
Cheers!
