Emmenem - baka kaya di gaano kumakain baby mo kasi nag-milk pa sya? at your child's age dapat sa pagkain na sya kumukuha ng nutrients.

re: school - may schools na nursery, kinder, garde 1. yung iba naman nursery, kinder 1, kinder 2, grade 1. so depende kung saan school sya papasok pero kailangan daanan nya lahat ng level unless ma-accelerate sya. 4y/o pwede na ipasok ng nursery.

Hi Tin! Salamat :) Naku, kuripot ako kaya 2k lang ata yung pinagawa ko na 9" Strawberry Shortcake cake (andun siya sa album ni Bunny Baker). Maliit lang pero kasi sa McDo lang naman ang party ng anak ko and I only had 30 guests. Pahirapan pa nga ubusin yun. :p

@huckleberry - hmm.. tinry ko na yung hindi muna siya painumin ng milk pagising tapos diretso breakfast (rice, egg and noodles). Wa epek eh. 3 subo lang din. Kaya ang ending, 3-4 bottles of 8oz milk siya daily. Honestly, di ko rin alam kung ilang oz ang recommended daily intake nila ng formula milk. Akala ko kesho nakalagay sa can ng formula milk na up to 3 years old eh hanggang 3 talaga. Tapos meron pang Progress Pre-schoool.

mga sis, is it normal na may time na ayaw uminom ni baby ng milk? napansin ko kasi these past few days, ayaw uminom ni Amber ng milk niya. Sa isang buong maghapon, 1-2 lang. kaso naman may solid food at water intake naman, kaso ngayon lang nangyari to eh. dati hindi naman ganun, malakas pa rin ang milk kahit na may solid at water intake.

Yes sis.normal lang yan. May mood silang ganyan. Sa anak ko usually pag magkakangipin mahina uminom ng milk. Basta may intake pa rin siya okay lang yun. Ang bantayan mo pag walang intake at all kahit liquid dahil baka madehydrate.

Marose, agree ako na walang "best" formula kasi depende sa baby. pero siguro in terms of nutritional content, meron naman sigurong best?  :)

Dette, baby's pedia nung nanganak ako recommended similac hw because we have a history of asthma. ok naman kay baby we stuck with that. but i don't want to give formula beyond 1 year old because nga of the high sugar content. diabetes runs in the family pa naman plus i had GDM. my husband naman is saying ok pa daw ang madaming sugar sa bata. di ko alam saan niya nakuha yang info na yan pero hihingi ako sa kanya ng evidence na totoo yan. ganyan ginagawa niya sa akin whenever i say this or that is good eh.

Marcia, i will try to talk to b unny baker regarding costs. pero kasi, i asked lang how much yung candyland cake and cupckaes that i saw in FB. she quote me 3500 for the cake. but the cupcakes are 95 each, add 20 for the box. eh 100 pieces. the cake price is ok but the cupcakes, dito yata ako nadali. what flavor did you get? yummy naman siguro her cakes no? i don't personally know anyone who has tried eh.

Tin, yung cupcakes na kinuha ko kay swirls n sprinkles for the binyag was 60 with box na. fondant topper din yan, though mas maganda yung art ni bunny baker. yummy yung cake niya. i got chocolate with coffe or mocha frosting yata.

^ para pwede iuwi yung cupcakes?  :) and wala na kasi ako cupcake stand eh so nung in0arrange yung cupcakes, patong patong parang pyramid kasi naka box naman. pwede naman walang box, lagay mo sa tiered cupcake stand or latag mo lang sa table.  :)

^sis masarap yung Chocolate cake niya. Much better than Hac's (sikat din sa GT). Parang mas nacu-cutean ako sa cupcakes nung candyland kesa sa cake. Pero definitely she will not make the same cake naman as that kasi sobrang creative niya. :)

i think i need to consider taking down notes na talaga sa dami ng tips about party planning na nakukuha ko dito, d na kaya ng brain capacity ko ang dami ng mga suppliers na namemention dito one by one :P

kim, got your pm na :) tumpak ka about mall, nako after ko magswimming dati, from ymca nilalakad ko hanggang orchard station. monitored kasi ang weight gain dito kahit buntis kaya i was really conscious about my weight gain nung buntis.

marose, halos pareho kayo ng close friend ko, yung kanya may history sila ng myoma, d ko maalala if she has it pero sure ako na may endometriosis cya. nagka placenta previa pa cya on her 8th month but good thing she survived her entire pregnancy naman. and just like you mahilig rin cya sa mga party preps :)

mommy pia, text kita later re: bio oil. nakakahiya magtext ngayong madaling araw, shy type pa naman ako :P

sis lisa, pmed you ;D speaking of garden, naalala ko tuloy yung party ng baby cousin ko which i helped my aunt to organize and ako ang ginawa nyang buyer sa pinas para dalhin ang mga props prizes etc dito sa SG, ladybug yung theme :D and this year funny pero ang party ng cousin ko this time, jollibee party! ;D d naman kinarir ng tiyahin ko ang bug theme diba :P

re: mga bangayan sa thread, nakakaallergic ang mga ganyan to be honest :-\ lurker lang ako sa celebrity gabfest pero nagpopost from time to time, and mygulay fanatic kung fanatic ang mga tao dun LOL and mega emoteching kung may sinabi kang d maganda sa idol nila. aysus ::) yung mga nega nega na yan is one of the primary reasons why mas gusto ko rin minsan d masyado active dito sa gt sa dami ng mga negastars dito minsan. naging active lang ako since my cousin suggested i check the threads about babies parenting childcare etc. just to gather ideas atleast, which d ako nagsisi na i did kasi kundi wala ako dito sa thread na to, naks ;D hirap rin kasi na kami lang ng husband ko dito, para kaming flying without a radar ika nga, from my pregnancy upto ngayon na lumabas na si baby. but were taking it one step at a time with our newborn :)

--- and speaking of which, may "bumubuntot" ata sakin lately at nakareceive ako ng 2 warnings galing sa mod, for "text speak" daw and pag quote. DAH? asan naman ang text speak sa mga sinabi ko. nako ha ::)

mga mommies may suggestion kayo for a venue in QC? :) preferably clubhouse sana or kahit penthouse or so ng condo.

and another question na rin, for breastfeeding mommies here, san makakabili sa manila ng ok na milk bags? exagge ang presyo ng milk bags dito, cheapest i saw is almost $14 for 30pcs lang :( lapit na mag 1 month si baby and i read somewhere na mas okay daw pag 4wks old na si baby iwean para d masyadong hirap daw. i hope d ako mahirapan iintroduce ang bottle kay baby :)

Grayce, pano mo nakita ang warning? bawal ba ang mag quote? sige wait ko reply mo..

Ayaw ko na din ng issue sa forum.. been there and done that.. and wont do it again hanggang maaari.. I learned that even the nicest person you know eh hindi mo matatantya hanggang saan ang acceptance level nila when it comes to objective criticism.. kaya i learned to think thousand times before i post and proof read them lalo na pag sensitive ang topic.. there are topics na i wont give my opinion na lang para iwas gulo :)

i hate internet bullies.. i find them pathetic.. lalo na ang kampi kampi system.. it's so gradeschool..

hel, long time no see!!!! party planning major topic ngayon :D

tamang-tama nagsisimula na rin ako mag-plan para sa 1st birthday party ni gelo. Disney Cars theme gusto ko :)

nag-start na ako mag-lista ng party preps ko sa notebook...

date of the party: sept 26, 2011, time: 5:00pm or 6:00pm

venue: wala pang final venue. meron car wash&kainan yung cousin ko. malaki yung space tska nung binyag ng pamangkin ko dun yung reception ok naman kasi may napakalaking tent. naisip ko pwede naman doon na lang para tipid

theme: diney cars

guest list: ilan ba ang ideal number of guests? both kids and adults? hindi pa ako nakapag-start gumawa ng guest list pero gusto ko i-limit lang yung number of guests pero ang dami kasi namin relative, 9 kasi magkakapatid sila mama hehe.... plus sa father side ko pa, relatives sa side ni bf at few friends

budget: ano po ba yung pinaka-ideal na budget? or rough estimate lang ng ok na budget.

save the date card: ano po ba mas maganda yung printed na save the date card or electronic save the date card like parang avp tapos send thru their emails?

invitations: hindi pa final yung ideas for the invitation,nag-iisip pa ako ng layout tapos gusto ko envelope or background nung invitation is red tapos may checkered black and white na accent sa envelope

cake: naghahanap pa ako sa net ng magandang disney cars cake na pwede kong gayahin-may konting background rin naman kasi ako sa pagbake ng cake and cake decoration. or order na lang ako ng cake sa goldilocks or red ribbon na disney cars theme

caterer: may relative kami na pwedeng mag-cater or hanap na lang ako ng ibang caterer na pwede ko rin marentahan ng tables,chairs,chair covers,etc

venue decor: diy na lang siguro kasi di ko alam kung kanino magpapagawa

-backdrop: di pa ako nakadecide if styro backdrop or layout ng background then print sa tarp, print lightning mcqueen,mater,luigi sa tarp then cut and paste sa styro

-standee: di ko rin alam kung saan dito may gumagawa ng standee kaya diy din

-balloon decors: diy bili na lang kami ng balloons, may balloon decorating business kasi kami dati. si mama kinukuha ng jollibee and other fast food chains dito para gumawa ng balloon decors pag may mga events

gusto ko may balloon arches, pillars,balloonderitas, table centerpiece, balloon burst/pinata na lightning mcqueen

host: wala pa

entertainment: wala pa, ayoko ng clowns...

party activities: games may mga naisip na ako na mga games na related sa theme tapos yung mga usual games na nilalaro pag birthdays

photographer: wala pa

videographer: wala pa

party planner: wala, ako na lang sana kayanin ko

tarpaulin: dun sa pinagawan ko ng tarpaulin nung binyag ni gelo. sa layout ng tarp wala pa, baka sila na rin gumawa pero magiisip pa ako ng idea for the layout

guest book: wala pa, naghahanap pa ako ng cute idea-inspiration na cars theme

name tags: wala pa layout

loot bag, loot bag contents, loot bag tags: wala pa, how much kaya budget for lootbags? ok na kaya ang 50-60php?

game prizes: wala pa

giveaways: nagiisip pa akong giveaway for adult guest tapos for ninongs and ninangs na cars-themed

food cart: how much rent ng food cart? wala kasi akong idea... siguro ice cream, cotton candy food cart

kiddie tables and chairs- sana sa caterer meron if wala maghahanap pa ako.

sound system: wala pa. magkano kaya dapat budget ko dito? enough na ba 2k?

costume: car racer suit. nakita ko 2.5K kay baby fashionista. either order ako sa kanya or patahi na lang kami basta nasa 2.5K na budget ko

sa menu, nag-iisip pa ako ng menu for adults and for kids. dinner na iseserve tapos snacks para kung may mga maagang dumating and hindi pa nagstart party pwede muna sila mag-snack. i need suggestions po for the menu. thanks :)

Good morning, ladies! :)

Marcia, 3 years turning 4 in June ang kids ko.  Hindi kita masagot sa levels ng preschool kasi sa school ng mga anak ko, isang level lang, mixed ages ang children.  So bale, isang moving up lang kami yehey.  Tapos, by 6 years old, hopefully, prep na sila sa Ateneo or grade 1 sa Centro Montessori. :)  Pinasok ko pala sila sa preschool a few weeks before they turned 3 years old. 

Re zoo, try mo muna ang Ark Avilon Zoo sa Tiendesitas (not to be confused with Avilon Zoo at Montalban).  Maliit lang yun, medyo contained and nagpunta kami diyan noong 2 years old pa lang mga bambinos ko.  Nag-enjoy sila.

Lisa, ang mahal ng cupcakes ni Bunny!  Cake lang siguro order-in ko.  Wala ng cupcakes this year.

Maganda ang garden theme.   :)

Grayce, ang nababasa ko palagi na affordable milk bags ay yung Nanny na brand.  Nakita ko ito dati sa Babyland Eastwood and Baby & Co. Rockwell.  Sa Duty Free, nakakita ako dati ng Gerber milk bags - ito ang ginamit ko dati along with Lansinoh milk bags.  Sayang!  Naibigay ko na sa isang GTer din ang excess Lansinoh milk bags ko around 2 years ago.  4 boxes yata (50 pcs per box) ang naibigay ko.  Another option na ginawa ng OB ko dati is yung Playtex liners, tapos she used rubber band lang to seal it.

Saan banda sa QC ang naiisip mong venue?  Madalas sa Philam, Acropolis, Greenmeadows, Corinthian Gardens na clubhouses ang nakikita ko sa pictures ng kiddie parties. 

Hel, I suggest you prepare a guest list para makapag-budget ka na and scout for a venue.  Malapit na ang September kaya start mo na ang planning para hindi ka ma-stress sa pag-down pay sa suppliers. :)  The tables and chairs usually provided na ng caterer.

Unahin mo rin ang host kasi mabilis sila ma-book.  Browse ka sa party threads. ;D

marose, so yung kids mo isang level lang tapos grade 1 na? balak ko sana next year na lang ipasok anak ko (Dana). by June next year, 3 and a half na siya. Hindi pa ako prepared (research and financially too) if this year na. :(

Salamat dun sa tip ng Ark Avilon. dalhin ko siya dun soon. :) Aircon ba?

Lisa pala si Clueless. Boy or girl ba baby mo? Cute nga yung Animals for Lexi!!! :) Bilib ako sa Plants vs. Zombies, Pororo, Hello Kitty, Kimmidoll, Angry Birds and Dibo nya. Siguro nung time na nagpagawa ako hindi pa siya ganun kasikat kaya mas mura.

Grayce, bawal pala magquote? Asa SG din ate ko. :)

Hel, maganda yung CARS costume ni babyfashionista. I think reasonable yung price niya and I find her mabait. Dineliver pa niya dati sa house ko. :) Yun standees, hanap ka sa mga PP. Meron silang alam nyan. Pwede naman na standee lang irent mo from them kung iba ang PP mo or hindi ka mag PP. In my case, Little Einsteins yung theme ng anak ko. eh wala naman akong PP. So talagang nirent ko lang sa isang PP yung standees niya na Little Einsteins. Happy naman ako. :)

Marcia, 3 years sila bale sa preschool or casa (ito ang tawag sa Montessori preschool).  Wala kasing level-level sa Montessori na preschool, basta isa lang - for kids ages 2 1/2 to 6 years old.  Magkakasama sila sa isang classroom pero iba-iba ang ginagawa nila.  Individualized instruction, pati yung pag-work ng bata sa materials by himself usually after presentation/instruction by teacher kasi gusto nila maging self-reliant at an early age ang kids.   May circle time and PE sila as a class kaya may interaction din sila.  At may mentoring din by the bigger kids who wish to help out the younger kids with the materials that the older kids have mastered. Iba siya sa traditional set-up.

Kung sa Montessori grade school ko sila ipapasok, grade 1 na raw sila agad by 6.  Kung sa Ateneo naman, kailangan mag-prep muna before grade 1 kasi may age requirement sila.  Prep ang entry level sa ateneo grade school.  Bibihira ang slots kapag grade 1 ipapasok.

Re Ark Avilon, supposedly aircon pero last summer, nainitan ako sobra sa loob.  Baka hindi kinaya ng aircon.  May parts na parang "garden" walang aircon yun, pati sa second level.

Puwede mong ipasok si Dana next school year na.  If socialization ang objective mo, puwede naman mag-Gymboree or Kindermusik muna siya sa ngayon.
