Shaved? :shock:

It was for the Hair for Hope event. Last year gave it a miss becos was going to deliver. This yr DD1 graduation year, although she's ok with me bald but think give her face lah, will attend her graduating ceremony with head full of hair :rotflmao:

wow SAHM_TAN, I salute you! :salute: :udawoman:

I never like pacifier but becos I was still working, my first 2 had them. My DD! was super attached to hers. But when she was in CC at about 3yos, she gradually detach. No one in CC had pacifier, sometimes she will forget when she's home and I just kept it. Before long she did not want it as much.


For my DS, he was never really into it, so when he was at home, I would not give it to him. At 1yo he auto detach.

For my DD2. She only touched pacifier during the first month. I let her latch on as much as she want becos I needed to build bm supply and I'm SAHM. When she was 4-6mo she started to suck her fingers and sometimes want to put her fist into her mouth. Then she will gag a bit. I explain to her see what happens when you put your hands into your mouth? I also prepare cold hanky for her to suck. Since both fingers and hanky were not that nice to suck, once her teething itch was gone, she stopped.

Now she has tendency to mouth things and eat tissue, but I take it as a senorial exploration thing and let her be. I try to keep \"dangerous\" things away from her to mouth but sometimes she still mouth them. I just think to myself dirty mouthing dirty grow up sigh.....

After 2 kids, I've learnt to let kids go through what they need to do to grow.

DD1 I control so much that it was really a pain, DS was better because I let go quite a bit, DD2 has the most \"freedom\"

As for the pacifier, if by force to stop the habit, it can be quite traumatic for the child. I would suggest the gradual approach. If go CC, tell him cannot bring. If at home, when he's concentrating on some activities, and forget about the pacifier, then just \"hide\" it from him till he ask for it.

My relative use the exchange method. There was an expensive toy that her DD really wanted. So she told her that if she wanted that toy, she must give up the pacifier. It worked in her case as her DD understood the implication.

SAHM_TAN, may I ask since you have not cut your hair for 2 years from totally bald, what is the length of your hair now? Does it grow nicer / more evenly than before you shaved? Any change to texture? I’m wondering if it’s better to recommend a cancer patient who lost hair due to cancer treatment to shave completely and let the hair regrow?

Now my hair is shoulder length, a bit longer.

I do not see any difference except I do not have split ends yet. But I'm not sure if it's due to the shaving or becos I changedthe brand of my shampoo

Thanks much for your reply. Shoulder length in 2 years is pretty fast.

any of ur baby still on pacifier ?? i really dunno how to wean this off with DS. he still need it whenever he is going to sleep/nap.. else he will cry.. i've tried resisting it. he cried for that 1 hour .. whole 1 hour. i gave up.. now, still sucking at night/afternoon nap..

How we wean it off for DD1 is when we change the pacifier to the for 1yr old n she din like it. She did cried for her old pacifier but mummy already throw away . So we just endure the crying everynite for abt 3-4 days.

My brother got a more superb method he used it on his DD when she was 2 yr old. His DD is those that suck on to her pacifier day n nite, so one day he dip the pacifier on chili sauce n give it to her fr then she never ask for pacifier again.
Now my DD2 still on pacifier , wonder if I should try my bro method when she turn 2 :rotflmao: .

my DS throws away his pacifier when he turns 16 months. So i guess he wean it off himself. we just let him be.


by the way, my DS, now 18 months, has yet to call mama/papa definitely. he cannot speak any other words except for mum-mum (meaning eat eat)

have yours called you yet?

mine said mama and nehneh (milk).

Don't worry, from what my mother told me, I did not speak till I was 3yos.
