Hi
saw in another thread abt Recall for LeapFrog Learn Around Playground.
http://www.babycenter.com/news/?id=101311&scid=momsbaby:20060911:2957:19356:8871#story
Recalled: Activity centers from LeapFrog
FRIDAY, Sept. 8 (BabyCenter News) LeapFrog is recalling about 186,000 of its Learn-Around Playground Activity Centers in cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). A child's arm can get caught in the activity center's plastic tube, posing a risk of injury.
LeapFrog has received 145 reports of children's arms becoming caught in the toy, and 54 of these incidents resulted in minor scratches and bruises.
The Learn-Around Playground is a multicolored, plastic musical activity center for children ages 6 to 36 months. It includes a Slide and Sing alphabet panel and a ball drop on the left side; a Number Rock musical keyboard in the center; and a Flying Rhymes airplane, pop-up LittleLeap, and "smart" book on the right side. The words "Leap Frog Baby" are printed on the top of the activity center, and the item number "10200" is written underneath the activity table below the words "Made in China."
The toys were sold at department stores, toy stores, and online retailers including LeapFrog's Web site from July 2005 through August 2006 for about $60.

hi mummies,
My gal suddenly turn feverish on Sat night and was telling my MIL that maybe I shld have sent her to hosp emergency that time since no medicine at home. But MIL mentioned that hosp eg. KK will usually shower them with cold water? And the poor kid will be cold till screaming and turning blue. She witness this for her bbsit kid last time and ever since got bad impression of how the hospital treats bb/kid when they got fever. Anyone knows is that true?
hi tingting,
Thanks for your help

hi tingting,

cakey,on your next visit to the PD, get some baby medicine for fever from him/her. Good to standby some medicine in the event that baby suddenly needs it.
I don't think the cold water shower method is used nowadays. That method was used years ago. But think now if the temperature is high and needs to be brought down immediately, a suppository (spelling right?) will be inserted in baby's anus to bring the temperature down. Anyone please correct me if this is wrong.

hi mummies,
Thanks for the advise.. Thank God her fever calms down this morning after poo alot..
Was in the middle of the night that she felt so hot. Only got the simple pigeon thermometer and dun even know whether it's accurate or not! So went to get an ear thermometer the next day.
Ya I suppose next time will bring her to 24hr clinic if no medicine at home.. Will bring her to 24hr PD if too serious. Guess won't directly go to hospital emerg dept for fever..
But I really wonder does hospital still do the 'shower' thing nowadays..
niuniu,
Thanks for sharing.. my gal just turn 1yr not long ago leh..

cakey, apparently you may get diff temps using ear thermometer depending on which ear you take from. heard from a nurse at a clinic say that it's normal, and u just take the higher of both readings. fevers usually shoot up at night. agree that you can get some paracetamol (and syringes) to standby for future.
Hi cakey,
Do have some kids paracetamol to stand by at home.
Last time my gal also had diahorroe and high fever for 3 days... nothing u can do for fever except give medicine and sponge them...
It's good to keep some paracetamol at home, coz u never know when they will have fever, esp at night!
Hope ur gal is well now.

hi snoopy,
The dr gave us the medicine for baby's anus just in case fever reach 39.5... Wonder is it painful for bb to insert like that.. Hubby quite against doing that although I think suffering a while is better then suffering for long.. Luckily no need to use that else I think will quarrel hehe..
wendyg,hoshi
The medicine almost finish liao so guess will just observe.. will get more next time... really inexperience mother
Will bring her to my GP to get some more for standby.

think the baby paracetamol can be bought from the pharmacy outside. if the doc had previously prescribed one type for your baby, can try to buy off shelf. else quite funny to visit doc just to buy medicine for standby right.. more expensive also.
anyway, i have 2 types at home: paracetamol and bifen (for high fever). both taste so sweet that they spoil zephan's appetite though.

cakey,
oh no, is Trisha better now? Do monitor constantly, as fever can be on & off. Ya... good to invest in a ear thermometer. It definitely more accurate than the pigeon's digital one.

cakey...inserting the suppository into baby's anus is not painful for baby. It is more troublesome for us adults though, cos after inserting it in....we hv to 'hold' baby's anus closed so that baby won't push it out. The baby will have a natural tendency to push it out. But only need to hold a short while for it to dissolve. Then it is ok.
For nicole, she has calpol (liquid paracetamol) for fever from 37.5-38.5 and neurofen for fever for 38.5-39.5.

Hi Phoebe,
Re: drinking milk
Give it a few more tries first before deciding if you should switch to other brands of milk. My gal was also like that when I first introduced her to FM. I even tried feeding her the FM with spoon to check if its the taste she doesn't like. Sometimes different babies have preference for the temperature of milk, eg some may prefer it not too hot.
I've been partial feeding my gal FM for 2 mths, and the quantity she drinks varies. Sometimes she finishes more than the quantity I would expect her to drink, a few times she refused to drink after drinking a few mouthful.

seabreeze,
i not very chatty lah....maybe he took over from my mom! my mom can yak non-stop at me!!! hmmm, bear bear....more to come! come one day he will call you ma-ma.....that's incredible!!!!
apparently Cayden's 8month old cousin could already say ta-ta (as in bye bye n wave) cos she picked up from Cayden 2 months back. that's amazing hor....they actually learn from each other.
ting,
he only speaks when he is in the good mood...and we dun force him to speak in front of people if he doesnt feel like it. he may appear quiet, but hor, he is damn noisy at home. he says mum mum mum mum when he is hungry too. yesterday, my mil just pointed to him a "chair" and after repeating a few times, this morning he pointed at the chair and say CHAIR!!!
notice that Wendyg, the pioneer of this thread, is not attending the party......never give face to seabreeze!

your worries are mainly on the logistics....easily solved lah. we can help you out....just let him crawl on the floor loh....that's what i do when he cannot sit still in the pram or when i am tired of carrying. Isaac can use Cayden's pram for makan, if u want.
Seabreeze,
Wow, your YC is very fast! can teach Cayden a few tricks anot? my mil keeps telling the relatives that he is STILL not walking!!!! so demoralising....at least say, "trying to walk or going to walk or soon to walk" lah. now thinking if i should sign cayden up for a trial at a gym.....seems like most bbs who are walking now have gone tru "formal" training leh... hehehehe... Wendy, u keen?
Vone,
....i am sure you were flying high when daryl called you right? aiyo, me still cant get over that moment!
ting,
thanks for all the discounts ley....hahaha, quite abit of savings....

every baby is different lar ... YC cant talk as much as Cayden and he only got TWO teeth ler so I always believe that they are faster in one aspect then they are slower in another lor ...
my mum been bringing YC down for a walk around the pool so I think that 'training' is even better and more effective than the once a week gymobree lor
wendyg ...
logistic is a small problem lar ... at most i can bring the high chair down for all the mummies who need it to feed their babies lor or they are no longer babies liao hahahahaha

actually i am very happy that my son is growing well and developing well....but then, the old folks are giving me indirect pressure. can u recall that my hubby's family/extended family, there are about 4 rooster boys and 2 rooster girls? they are the talk of the town man! I think things will definitely be better when i move out. hehehe.....
ting,
no matter what, must go on that trip!!!!!

Seabreeze,
I think Kai and YC's development about the same leh. Kai only has 1 TOOTH now. Hahaha... Can't talk alot. Only 'Mmm m mmmm mmm m' and the occasionally 'dad dad' 'mum mum'.
But i think he can walk quite well now. Can walk around the house quite steadily.
crying,
Dunno wat's wrong with Kai these few nights. He has been crying quite hysterically for the past few nights when it's bedtime.
Tried applying 'ru yi' oil and teething gel for him, but it doesn't seemed to help. Dunno wat's wrong. The crying will last from half an hour to an hour.
Any mummies experience the same behaviour?

when people express surprise that Isaac can't walk yet, i'll tell them that he's so adept at crawling, he'd rather be on all fours than risk falling down trying to take a step. He has big head, fat tummy, chubby thighs - feet too small, cannot support his heavy top yet.
But i'd rather point out what he CAN do, rather than dwell on what he can't.
Anyway, people who make those comments are usually those who hv no children. They dun understand that each child develops at his own pace. Those who hv kids liao wun make such remarks "How come 1YO liao STILL CAN'T WALK??"
Aiyoz, i hv a niece who could only sit up straight at 2YO.. the one who frequently has UTI. And i dun question the mum..
i dun hv budget to send isaac for baby classes. We'll let him learn how to walk at his own pace la.. i dun believe he'll still be crawling around at 6YO... someday he'll stand up & walk. My grandma predicts it's next month coz she sees his progress weekly, when we walk with him.
eileenp
how do u normally get him to sleep? Before he started crying recently.
Sometimes when isaac cries non-stop (middle of night or when he wakes in morning or from nap), i will carry him into the living room where he can see his bicycle, or to the windows - he loves to look down at the playground, spot umbrellas, buses, bicycles etc. My hubby even took him downstairs for a 10min walk at 4am one day... Calmed him down, he could drink some milk, then promptly went back to sleep.

wendy, when zephan started to stand n cruise steadily months ago, people also kept predicting that he will walk soon... till now, still no sign of it! he's also preferring to crawl. i also get comments like "so he started walking already right?" haiz.. always got to tell myself not to be bothered by them. sometimes when i tell zephan to start walking quickly, he'll turn his head away n bochap me..
walk at 4am??! wow... ben's a heavy/lazy sleeper. can forget about that! prob me bringing him down instead. once or twice zephan woke up crying a lot n refused to sleep. so i brought him around the house n tell him everything's quiet n everyone's sleeping, and it's time for him to sleep as well. that works. another time he insists on playing. so i let him cruise around the house a bit, while i act bored. after a while, i think he also feel sianz and didn't protest when i brought him back to sleep..

when they start running, i think we'd wish they were still crawling... less chance of getting hurt coz lower down near the floor and not as fast as running. It's just like now, sometimes we wish they were still immobile - lie on their bouncer & stare at their surroundings.. at least can get some housework done.
So, i just cherish this stage of his life coz it'll pass in a jiffy. He'll never be 13m old again, he won't be crawling forever, he won't be babbling forever.
