they're not only concern for the safety, also for the development of the babies..take a look..
[size=medium]Baby Walker Alert
The American Academy of Pediatrics strongly urges parents not to use baby walkers. They can lead to high-speed, dangerous falls and allow your baby to travel to potentially unsafe places that he wouldn't otherwise be able to reach. Baby walkers also can slow down your baby's progress when she's learning to walk.
Using a walker strengthens only your baby's lower legs. The muscles in the upper legs and hips (the ones most used in walking) do not get a workout. Becoming mobile too early may lessen baby's desire to walk on his own. Let your baby progress from crawling, to cruising, to standing, and to walking at his own pace.
Thank you moms for all the advices on the bb walker. I'm happy to know that all moms think the same and I'm not the only one who thinks the walker is not neccessary. I just got too much pressure from my family to buy one for Natalie so I just want to get some support and opinions. Natalie really enjoys playing in her exersaucer so I think that will suffice for now Thanks a bunch :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I don't buy any ingredients yet...I'm so busy and lazy :mrgreen: ..
I wish I could know how to make my little one feel better with diaper rash earlier..sigh...you're right, he doesn't go crazy when I wipe his butt with the warm water.. ...thanks for your help...
To All USA Mommies,
Hope it's not too late to say "Kung Hey Fat Choy" now!
Wish you all have a great year of Rooster!
Marble,
Thx again for the pics of Nicholas and Kyle. They seem to grow fast!
Hope Nicholas will get better soon. My bb also had coughing w/ cold back in Dec (poor him! i think he got it from me). He also coughed more when he's sleeping. The cough medicine and humidifier help a bit. Also, I realized he coughed more after he ate oranges and drank orange juice (don't know why).
Marble, Hannah, and those who lives in San Jose area:
Maybe we should get together when u hv time ….
Mrsyip,
You’re right. My boy was born in April right before Easter last year.
Where do u live in California?
Yr girl must be very behaved … that’s why u feel like nothing much to do everyday and days go fast!
Every day I need to follow my boy, because he always do something unbelievable. Like this morning, he was pushing his animal toy house from the TV room to my ex-home-office area. When I turned my head back to him, he’s standing on the desk. We have removed the chair from the desk on purpose. However, he pushed the toy house next to the desk and used it as a stepping stone. The toy house itself is not too big but barely fit him onto it.
Little Fat Man,
Looks like mini-Matt grows really fast and already become a little handsome man!
I heard from my friend that the Destin “Original” is very good. I think I saw it before. It has the strongest ingredients (for diaper rash) in it, so probably it works really quickly for the bad diaper rash.

Welcome to BK USA Mommy Club!
My boy is almost about the same age as yours. He’s a week from 22 months old now.
Natmama,
Natalie's new picture looks really cool! She's getting prettier (maybe future Miss HongKong)!
Regarding the bb walker, we'd bought one (with wheel-locks) for our bb when his abt 6 1/2 months old. When u lock the wheels, it becomes just like the entertainer but with less toys. Sometimes we used it as a high chair when we lock the wheels (as he didn't like to sit in the high chair).
I also heard abt the bad things abt walkers. Initially we planned to buy the entertainer for him. However, he preferred the walker more than the entertainer at the store. He's so excited abt it. So, we bought it but we never away from him for a minute when he's in the walker and we bought a gate between 1st floor and 2nd floor.
However, he's tired abt it after less than a month (when he can walk like a crab holding onto things) and tried to escape from the walker or turn it over to play w/ the wheels. So, we didn't use it anymore. anyway, he also tried to escape from the entertainer when he's at the church nursery.
btw, he started to walk independently when he's abt 11 1/2 month.
Mine is abt the same as this one but with a tray where u can put thing on it:

I can email u the picture if u want.
I was talking to couple of friends (from NJ and CA) yesterday. They're both interested in moving to Sugar Land (Houston) and Austin, TX. Sounds very attractive. Nice school districts ...
SY_Mom
I am interested in knowing more about Austin cos I heard the school fees there are very cheap but the housing there is relatively cheaper than CA.
Nallie mami,
Nice to meet you! I live in NYC too. I have been here for about 8mons, and my son is 7months old. I was a high school teacher in HK. I become a full time mom when my son was born. Life is so boring in here and my husband never understands.
I will PM you my email address. Can't wait to see your daughters pictures. It's been raining so hard, do you think we can meet up next week for lunch. We can go to McDonald or Ten Ren?! ...closer to home.
SY_Mom,
Thank you for the link to the walker. With the info. I got from most moms, I will probably not get a walker for her...scare she will get her.
Little Fat Man,
I'm glad mini-matt's little butt is getting better. I felt so bad when Natalie had her diaper rash. Eventhough she was younger and didn't cry, my heart was broken every time I changer her diaper. Thanks for sharing mini-matt's photo album...he is such a handsome boy :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
Dear greentree,
Nice to meet you here too.. I came to NYC at Jun03, when I was 8th months pregnant.. because of SARS in hk and all around the south east asia.. I was living in Melbourne, Australia .. studied there, worked there.. just because of SARS, my husband pushed me to come over here.. we both were spacemen before... you know what I mean? me in Australia, my husband in new york. I was planning to give birth in melbourne.. better environment, and medical back up.. as I am a RN Div 1 there.. also I work in sick children (paediatric unit) as I was a child care and nurse from hk, hospital then did not change my duty since I worked there, so I got the prefect medical cover.. but here.. *Sigh*... then I become a stay home mom, studying at home for my license (nursing) verification exam.."finally get some time as Amanda is not breastfed, and she learnt to play in her playroom".. as all the medical terms and medicine names are different in USA.. have to spend a lot of afford to do it.
Husband won't understand.. he said if I get bored, why don't go out with Amanda.. our 18 months old daughter (she turns 18 months old yesterday).. may be you don't experience that yet.. sooner you will know.. ha ha
this stage of infants are pretty hard to handle in the street or shopping mall.. because they are egogenic.. (mind control by their human nature, not logic).
Although, I do drive here, but only bring amanda out once a week, on every friday to Gymboree class..
Really wanna meet some HK friends, I met J_ma here.. she is very nice..
will you be my friends too?
happy to know that ryan's skin is better. i think you better tell ur 99 to wait a little longer before feeding the bb those special food. sometimes, the bb may be allergic.
911,
my daughter already has a similar entertainment system. we got it for her when she was four months and she really enjoys it. i plan on getting her the push along walker when she learns to take her first step. it is safer than the ride-in walkers.
...thanks for your help...
