lildevil,
hehe my 1st response to ur fren's case is, "wah, that's 1 way to lose wt!"
.
puff,
10 consecutive days? I'd try that first, thanks!
I have to avoid dairy pdts tho- Irvin is so colicky I'm tempted to bring him to PD for colic (but HB doesn't believe in colic).
I have low pain tolerance- so am very cranky what with my cold I caught (HB's fault!), a colicky bb and piles which make sitting unpleasant.
kelly,
havent seen doc yet- actually I dunno any female GPs leh
. The one I usually see downstairs is a cranky old man (very *stern* type). He's only nice to bbs/ tods!
kypf,
I din quite fancy the 1st sling I've used (borrowed from friend) but it really helps, if ur bb is receptive! Or else u wun see so many pple slinging- Berry, Puff, Kelly, Sherhino all used slings. Even lilprince with her heavier Rhyan, slings (that I can't handle, hehe)!
I'm not sure abt handling bb *and* tod, *solo*, though! Even tho A is guai-dun-run-off-type, my bb feeds/ diapers so frequently, it's kinda restrictive for A to hang around me (while I sit down to nurse/ go diaper rm). So far I've had either my mum or HB with me, to entertain A. Can do w/o helper lah.
Oh! Lovely beach pics, makes me wanna bring A. HB refused to go for a beach outing last Sun *pout*.

sharon,
for gold/ platinum/ diamond jewellery- just soft toothbrush with normal soap will remove the dirt. No need ultrasonic/ special detergents . But if the metals were scratched, will need to send for repolish/ replating (eg. when white gold starts looking "yellow").
for silver I dunno, think can buy cleaner specifically for that.

KNUDSEN and its NOT organic????!!! and the other wan i forget the brand liao, organic BUT it consist of other component, meaning not just cranberry. according to the staff, she was saying the knudsen is much better even its not organic, due to the location and ways of growing and planting them and its a very reliable brand for many years. i seen tis in gnc and cold storage so properly will just grab tat. following site for you to make your hunting easier if u are getting it.

kelly, it takes us 2 hours to get to the beach. anyway we stayed at a resort there, for 3 nights. weather was good i thought, not too hot not too cold. but we saw jellyfish near the sea so didn't let ethan paddle in the sea and he got quite angry.
medusa, so what's a good sling you'll recommend? i'm still divided. i think cannot escape getting a double buggy. even though ethan knows to hold my hand when we're walking on the road, sometimes he wants to sit in the buggy, if baby is sitting there then i have to find a spot to do the transfer.
i'm also wondering how i'm going to handle baby and toddler by myself.. but i'll worry about it when the time comes, and probably pick up some tips from you then
sharon, for diamond jewelry, i was told old toothbrush and washing up liquid does the trick.
little_devil, technically it's Ethan's second trip to beach, since the pictures i posted were from our third day there, and he'd been once on the first day. but he loved the feel of the sand in his toes from the start.

Just sharing
1. Cranberry Juice is often used in the treatment of urinary tract infections, bladder and kidney infections.
Cranberries have long been consumed for their medicinal qualities. Cranberries were an important food for Native Americans, who made sauces from ripe red cranberries, used cranberries to preserve fish and meats, and treated a variety of illnesses, including bladder infections, with cranberry preparations. Modern medical research has also indicated that cranberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and may help protect against cancer, heart disease and other ailments.
2. Drinking Cherry Juice may help you sleep better.
Red Tart Cherries and Cherry Juice contain high levels of melatonin, the most potent of antioxidants, which scientists have found may be connected to sleepiness at night and wakefulness in daytime. The melatonin found in cherries also functions as an antioxidant to help the body prevent cell damage caused by compounds called free radicals. Cherry juice has also been recommended as relief from the pain associated with arthritis and gout.
3. Pomegranate Juice contains a variety of vitamins, such as A, B, C, and E, which are considered very beneficial for blood purification and circulation.
Traditional Middle Eastern medical books recount the benefits of the pomegranate in the treatment of diabetes, stomach digestion, and cleansing of the kidneys. Today, pomegranate is being hailed by many as a source of antioxidants and anthocyanins that contribute to combating cancer, lowering cholesterol levels and reducing hardening of the arteries. As quoted from Newsweek, Special Health Edition- 2001 . Pomegranate Juice can increase blood levels of an enzyme that appears to break up arterial plaque.
4. Drinking Blueberry Juice may help protect against the effects of aging.
Normal cell metabolism produces toxic substances within our bodies (free radicals). Daily stress, drinking alcohol, lack of rest, an unhealthy diet, continued exposure to tobacco smoke and other pollutants greatly accelerate this process, creating a level of toxic "free radicals" beyond what our body can fight on its own. Antioxidants are the bodys own weapons against disease and premature aging; blueberries contain very high levels of antioxidants.
5. The biologically active compounds found in Grapefruit Juice and Orange Juice can also help to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.
Citrus fruits have long been valued as part of a nutritious and tasty diet. The flavors provided by citrus are among the most preferred in the world. It is well established that citrus and citrus products are a rich source of vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber (non-starch polysaccharides) that are essential for normal growth, development and overall nutritional well-being. However, it is now beginning to be appreciated that these biologically active, non-nutrient compounds found in citrus and other plants (phytochemicals) can also help to reduce the risk of many chronic diseases. Where appropriate, dietary guidelines and recommendations that encourage the consumption of citrus fruit and their products can lead to widespread nutritional benefits across the population. Grapefruit juice is an excellent source of Vitamin C, particularly because it contains citrus flavonoid compounds not found in other citrus juices. Flavonoids in general have shown protective biochemical effects.
6. Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, and Black Raspberry Juices all have very high concentrations of anthocyanins and ellagic acid, both of which are powerful antioxidants that aid in reducing the risk of cancer, heart and liver disease.
Berries have been found to reduce the risk of disease in many studies. According to the American Cancer Society's Guide to Complementary and Alternative Cancer Methods, the ellagic acid found in berries prevents the binding of carcinogens to DNA and strengthens connective tissue, which may keep cancer cells from spreading and may also reduce heart disease, birth defects, liver fibrosis and promote wound healing.
7. Drinking Apple Juice has a beneficial effect on risk factors for heart disease.
According to a study published in the winter edition of the Journal of Medicinal Food carried out by the University of California-Davis School of Medicine, drinking apple juice every day significantly reduces the risk of heart disease. Phytonutrients found in apples act as natural antioxidants that help to slow the oxidation process that is involved in the build-up of plaque that can lead to coronary problems. These phytonutrients have also been found to be associated with reducing the risk of certain types of cancers and strokes, as well as improving lung function.
8. Drinking Aloe Vera Juice can aid in the healing of stomach disorders, ulcers, and colon problems.
Aloe Vera is often called Natures Miracle Plant. Current evidence suggests that Aloe Vera contains a broad range of constituents including large polysaccharides, which are called conductors. These conductors set in motion a cascade of important biological events.
Traditionally, two forms of extracts were derived from the aloe vera plant. The leaves were filleted to remove the internal gel or the leaves were dried and the yellow sap (located just beneath the thick green ring of the leaf) was collected to produce a product called bitter aloes. Today many types of beneficial products are extracted from the aloe plant.
Aloe used externally is associated with healing burns and wounds, stimulating cell regeneration, and is known to be an effective skin emollient with antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral properties. Taken internally, Aloe is associated with soothing stomach irritation, reducing swelling in joints, aiding the healing process and immune functions, improving digestion and bowel motility.
9. Pink Grapefruit, Papaya, Guava, and Apricot are all rich in phytonutrient lycopene, which has been shown to reduce the risk of prostate and other types of cancer.
The potent antioxidants such as beta carotene and lycopene found in a variety of Fruit Juices have been proven to aid in reducing the risk of heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Studies have shown that diets high in carotenoids can help protect against cardiovascular diseases. They do this by preventing the oxidation of LDL cholesterol and reducing free radical damage at sites of atherosclerotic plaque formation.
10. The powerful antioxidants found in blueberry juice will help to neutralize free radicals that are associated with heart disease and cancer?
Free radicals are the unstable oxygen molecules associated with cancer and heart disease. The antioxidants that are found naturally in blueberries and other fruits and vegetables help to prevent the free radicals from causing damage to your bodys cells. By protecting your body from the harmful effects of free radicals, you can significantly reduce the risk of cellular damage that can lead to heart disease, cancer, and arthritis. Blueberries have also been found to be very helpful with promoting vision health, reducing the buildup of bad cholesterol that contributes to cardiovascular disease and stroke, as well as supporting a healthy urinary tract.
11. Carrot Juice contains more Carotene (Alpha & Beta) than any other fruit or vegetable.
Beta Carotene is the chemical precursor that the body uses to produce vitamin A, which is important in strengthening the immune system and promoting healthy cell growth. Vitamin A is a potent antioxidant, which fights free radicals and helps prevent them from causing membrane damage, DNA mutation and lipid (fat) oxidation. All of these can lead to a variety of degenerative diseases. Also, studies have shown that Alpha Carotene may be as powerful as Beta Carotene, to significantly inhibit the processes that may lead to tumor growth.
List of additional benefits:
Boosting immunity
Reducing photosensitivity (protect the skin from sun damage)
Improving symptoms of HIV
Aid in healing minor cuts and wounds
Reducing the risk of heart disease (reducing risk of high blood pressure)
Cleansing the liver
Helping to fight anemia
Improving eye health

Sling
mine was from Moms In Mind, sateen material. yeah, still slinging Rhyan now but only when i need to carry him and be handsfree. if carry him for more than half hour, i think my shoulder and back will break.
sharon
i think i used charcoal previously to get rid of those smells too.
lil devil
can let Quinn eat dried cranberries instead? i think i usually buy the Oceanspray brand of cranberry juice for myself. Rhyan loves to eat dried cranberries.

Irvin cried for 3 hrs yest in discomfort- I was having fever so only latched him hrly, he stopped crying when latched but still in discomfort... cld hear all the wind in his stomach gurgling.
btw my helper is *better* than my mum at soothing Irvin. tho Irvin still cried when colicky, she achieved more periods of "lull" than my mum. She knows how to carry him "superman" style (the stance recommended for colicky bbs) and sing soothingly. So amused- my mum was carrying crying Irvin, my helper took over awhile, soothed him somewhat and "taught" my mum how to carry him (so helper cld cook).

lil devil, hmmm, maybe its just me but I find it hard to believe that non organic juice is better than organic, esp since organic means no chemicals/pesticides are used when growing the fruit, and I read that this is especially significant in small fruits (the smaller the fruits, the higher the pesticide content since lesser 'flesh' and more skin area exposed) like raspberries/strawberries/cranberries etc. Or maybe when she said 'better', it could be in terms of taste instead? Anyone else has more info on this?

yah, h has been talking alot lately and at times when i was carrying him while hes talking and me not paying attention, he will grab my face with his 2 hands and make sure theres eye contact! and also, he loves to sing too, especially when hes playing by himself or in the car yah, waynes behaviour i DUN take it as notti lor, i find its her way of showing shes real angry and very gal lor, like mummy hor?? heee...
medusa
hmm... i rem how colicky quinn was too and heard tat boys tends to have more of this problem. wah, ur helper really good, difficult to come by, can cook well, especially for A and can sooth a colicky newborn! next time if u decide to stop using her do let me know, ha!!!!!
berry
yah, the first thing tat comes into my mind when i discovered tat the C.J tat B.R.P is selling is NOT organic is "HUH"?????!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess wat shes trying to tell me is if u compare a very good and reliable brand brand and picking only the best fruits and without adding additives and such and another 1 is organic BUT not as long establish and reliable, the first wan will be a better choice, BUT again i still have doubts lor. tat is why i am looking for the LAKEWOOD brand organice C.J. since its Fresh Pressed, No Preservatives - No Fillers, Not from Concentrate, Nothing Artificial, 100% Premium Organic Fruit Juices, Pasteurized and Vacuum Sealed in
Glass Bottles, No Sugar Added.but i guess need to really hunt it down. maybe jason will have them..... as for dried cranberry, quinn was very into it sometimes ago, and it started will hubby bot him a pack or organic dried cranberry, and hubby says he tried both organic and non-organic, they taste soooo diff!!! the organic wan is not sweet but sort of sour and the ther wan soooo sweet and dun taste natural to him. but i tik quite sick with it liao, but he still prefer tis to raisin lah, me dun like raisin too.
littleprince
yah, the organic cranberry really taste soooo much better than the non-organic wans, even hubby can tellthe diff. and he only let quinn eat the organic wan. u know quinn hates sitting in highchair in resturant, and if u give him organic cranberry, he can sit thru till we finish our meal

all the best to u!!!!!!
yah, h has been talking alot lately and at times when i was carrying him while hes talking and me not paying attention, he will grab my face with his 2 hands and make sure theres eye contact! and also, he loves to sing too, especially when hes playing by himself or in the car
yah, waynes behaviour i DUN take it as notti lor, i find its her way of showing shes real angry and very gal lor, like mummy hor?? heee... medusa
hmm... i rem how colicky quinn was too and heard tat boys tends to have more of this problem. wah, ur helper really good, difficult to come by, can cook well, especially for A and can sooth a colicky newborn! next time if u decide to stop using her do let me know, ha!!!!!
berry
yah, the first thing tat comes into my mind when i discovered tat the C.J tat B.R.P is selling is NOT organic is "HUH"?????!!!!!!!!!!!! i guess wat shes trying to tell me is if u compare a very good and reliable brand brand and picking only the best fruits and without adding additives and such and another 1 is organic BUT not as long establish and reliable, the first wan will be a better choice, BUT again i still have doubts lor. tat is why i am looking for the LAKEWOOD brand organice C.J. since its Fresh Pressed, No Preservatives - No Fillers, Not from Concentrate, Nothing Artificial, 100% Premium Organic Fruit Juices, Pasteurized and Vacuum Sealed in
Glass Bottles, No Sugar Added.but i guess need to really hunt it down. maybe jason will have them..... as for dried cranberry, quinn was very into it sometimes ago, and it started will hubby bot him a pack or organic dried cranberry, and hubby says he tried both organic and non-organic, they taste soooo diff!!! the organic wan is not sweet but sort of sour and the ther wan soooo sweet and dun taste natural to him. but i tik quite sick with it liao, but he still prefer tis to raisin lah, me dun like raisin too.
littleprince
yah, the organic cranberry really taste soooo much better than the non-organic wans, even hubby can tellthe diff. and he only let quinn eat the organic wan. u know quinn hates sitting in highchair in resturant, and if u give him organic cranberry, he can sit thru till we finish our meal
kelly
all the best to u!!!!!!

pcs, yah surprised, as far as i know she has no experience with newborns, only bbs. But she learns fast- she follow the different carrying styles my HB uses. i'd give her a small raise this mth- she's really quite worth her salary, despite any issues i have.

Medusa,
I didn't know pasir ris had pony rides! Now, I'm tempted to go also. Do u know their opening hours?
Agree with the other mums, u're looking really good, very radiant!
Athena is really pretty, lovely dress too! Irvin in the sling looks a bit like a baby in the womb, but only on the outside. That's the mesh sling u were talking abt rite?

gabby's mum,
wow really hamster cheeks! Chubbier cheeks than my supposed heavywt Irvin (I conclude his bones are heavy or something).
kelly,
congrats when u read this!
deniz,
i dunno opening hrs- starting shld b abt 10am? i *think* they take a lunchbreak. And end abt 7pm.
Yup that's the mesh sling, abit more reassuring when bb is all wrapped up in it cos there's so many holes (for breathability).
