Well said. I got a walker as a gift but we can't substitute our own involvement with a learning aid or a tablet or tv.

[sk1111]

My two kids enjoyed their walker when they had it. They love the mobility and it's amazing to see where they can reach with it. They both began walking when they were suppose to and as far I can see no development issues.

[sk1111]

Also, for kids beginning to walk you guys should check out robeez shoes for them. They are a soft leather shoe that work amazing. There are other company's that make similar but I can't vouch for them. They are not sold in Trinidad as far as I know.

My son is 14mths and he really needs a haircut. I doh tink he stayin still for anyone. Advice please

[gtiracer]

Take him to your barber around his nap time.. cut while sleeping...
Bribe with things that he likes.. phone, ipad, toy. Have more than one as he will not be able to move and be uncomfortable in a barber's chair..
Let him see u sit down for a haircut if possible before his.
If all that fails.. skittles

[X_Factor]

hoss, cut his hair while he is sleeping if u can
or be prepared to hear some serious bawling

recently while i am using the machine to trim my facial hair, i keep him around and let him see whats going on, i let him hold the machine etc
hoping next time around it may ease up the bawling

My son using a specific type of Enfamil for reduced spit up (it reinforced with rice cereal). the Type is Enfamil A.R.

However I cannot find the product in the box with the two bags, but rather the tub. Would prefer to get the box so I can always refill the tub. Anyone knows where?

I used to buy in superpharm trincity or trincity mall. But that was probably over 6 mths now

From what I remember the cheapest place for enfamil is at brydens near the back
Of the Porsche/Suzuki dealer. Make your bill there then go to the old Heineken factory to pick up, this was a little while back so please
Call brydens to make sure it still works this way.

They are also the agent for enfamil so if anyone will have it, it's them.

[Swisha]

If you're from south u can get enfamil in all different sizes and packaging from Bryden Pi on royal road.

any of u all give ur kid the klim 1+?
thoughts on it?
we use SMA level 3 but that went up from 100 a tin to almost 150+
if pricemart has its 120 last price we paid and we run through 6 tins a mth

[Dave]

I went from sma to klim at 1 yr old for both boys. Was an easy transition. Sma milk up to 1yr taste good. The one yr plus taste bad so I knew klim would have been liked very much.

[PapaC]

SMA has a lot more nutrients than Klim. I use both. Maybe give the SMA once a day and use Klim otherwise. In any case after. After the first year plus formula was not not the primary source of meals so my bills for formula are low.

[X_Factor]

^ true, he usually drinks about 3 bottles for the day
one around 7-9pm and then one when he gets up...and one either before or after the day time nap

having issues with him eating fruits now,
prior to 14 mths, he would eat bananas, apples, grapes etc
since he get accustom to regular food ( rice/curry chicken, goat, fish etc)
fruits gone out the window

19 mths now, never had soft drink ( proud of that!)

[PapaC]

My daughter doesn't even like juice. Cold water in a sippy cup and she is good.

My 7 month old son scared the hell out of me last night!
He woke up around 10:30pm crying so we fed him, after about 4oz he just vomited (projectile), bathing me down. We cleaned him up and put him on the bed to sleep. He woke up 11pm and vomited all over the bed; the vomit seemed to be more milk. While my wife was changing the sheets and I was holding him, he vomited a third time, this time he was retching and I could smell the bile (?). He had no fever and absolutely nothing else seemed to be wrong. He went back to sleep and woke at 4am to feed, and he drank all with no event, and whole day today he just good and normal.

[racedriverpro]

Strange.... Reminds me of the time my daughter had chick v. She had fever etc. Probably gas.

probably gas
ovol drops worked for us

[White CZ4A]

Could be signs of reflux?
On a side note..we use oval as well for gas

[khandman]

Sounding like a bit of reflux. I read that it is pretty normal for babies. Just monitor to be sure.

[Steamroller]

Hey guys does anyone know where I can get ovol drops? It worked for my first baby but all the places I checked were out. My newborn is 3 weeks old and last night was hours of crying. Gripe water seems to do nothing. A little help please!

[White CZ4A]

Didn't get oval anywhere here. All the pharmacies said that the distributor has been out of stock for a long time.
I got a friend in Canada to send me some.

[searchingone]

For that reflux try to keep him upright as much as possible after feeding. Don't just burp and put down. More gas might get out that way.

This working fine at the moment

That's great advice.

Also what I've noticed with my 3rd newborn, burping a bit before feeding helps too.
