Hello there,

I am having the same diffiulty as you were. Eventually, my kid (now 2 years old) like to watch youtube and she learned her ABCs and Numbers from it. Since youtube has it all (but you need to select the video a little bit), i recommended that you use youtube...with the music and good illustrations, she will pick it up in no time.

So far, she learned(speaking and recognising) all the name of the colour but seem a little bit difficult in recognising it in reality...i guess  because of the colour is abstract...

hi there,

i keep my baby occupied by giving her the thing she likes such as pot, pans, spoon and cups. she likes to bang all the things and like to hear the sound. other than that i kept her occupied by watching her educational tv show 

hello there,

my baby started holding food when she was about 8/9 months. I allowed her to play with her food during meal times but at the same time, feed her.

I think just let the baby play with things to encourage her/him..

hello there,

i had downloaded one of the mommy's scheduled posted here a while ago, and managed to change to my baby schedule..but unfortunately, so far failed to follow it..

it seems that its hard to follow the schedule when your baby still growing

for me, the best time for my baby to learn is when she finished watch her usual educational tv stuff and after she wokes up from the afternoon nap...

I haven't try it at night, but might as well do it in the future...

Hello geniusqarissa,

Responding to your question. As for me, I agreed what you said for the Malay ethnic.

But for the practicality, it is a liltle bit different here. We lived in UK and they used English as their languange. And as for that, as a foreigner here, I did speak English with my daughter when we have to such as when we are outside the house. As in the house, me and my husband do think that we need to preserve the Malay languange and identity to our children thus we speak Malay in the house.

We asked the Malaysian who had been living here permanently, and they encourage us to do what we are doing now because they said that the English languange can be picked up by the children when they go to school and in their everyday lives...fastly   .

it can be seen here that the malaysian children, when staying here will speak English fluently although they does not have enough background but sadly, when the used English, they forgotten to use their mother tounge 

maybe because of the different surrounding and environement, we try to adapt the best thing for our children and for me it is the other way around 

hello there,

i have een using the walker for my baby since she was 5 months old and she stopped using it when she was 8 months. this is becuse the walker made her movement restricted and she was able to drag the walker by herself..

i just realised that the walker may make the baby progress in walking by herself slow down, after been told by a friend and until now she had not yet walk  . she just braved enough to climb the stairs and coffee table but had not taken her first step in walking.. maye because of the walker..who's know, right?

but if you are thinking of buying one, make sure that your child uses it and take precaution when she is using that since the walker may make her mobile and who's know what she can grab from the walker...
