fushiastar: it will be a big mess if we ever get the chance to bring Zoe and Xaby together... food on the floor, table, wall, on Mummy except in their mouth! Xaby's been acting up during meal times these days, she'll happily eat the first half of her porridge (sometimes feeding herself even) but once she reaches half way, she'll start to want to get out of her high chair. I guess she gets bored? Then she'll want me to carry her, then put her back, then carry her, then put her back, on and on and on! lat night refused here porridge totally even if it was her favourite beef with potatoes, had to dip the porridge in bread then feed her the bread! BTW, I've been training her to eat those Gerber puffs and so far she can finish about 8 - 12 pcs on her own, very funny if she drops one... she sort of panics and almost falls face forward trying to find it!! Will try raisins like you mentioned this weekend. What kind of brown rice do you feed Zoe? Do you use this to make porridge?
Flo: I hope Rae's ok. Xaby had bronchitis a few months ago and also had to be on antiboitics, very scary right? Very scared of getting pneumonia becuase the bacteria might infect her heart stent which is hard to cure due to her heart condition... glad you have the option to stay at home! Wish i could too but with her medical bills, we need the 2nd income to prepare for her heart surgery.
Sneaky: No allergic reaction due to beehoon? From experience in my former job a lot of the beehoon made uses additives in the flour to make it whiter, and i'm scared of allergic reactions due to it.
Does anyone here play mah jong?

hi chris
usually is 1 tablespoon of rice, which is about 1 small bowl of porridge with ingredients
maybe u can try changing the teat? when brennan refuse to drink, i will change to latex teat. especially now he has started to teeth so MIL say change to latex teat lor.
But if brennan dont want milk, there is no way i can force him. so let him be. once, i feed him those round pigeon biscuits that flo mentioned above, he then willing to take milk but only 50ml. heehee better than nothing lor

morriane: hehe, the reason i'm asking is because we play in front of xaby sometimes and I'm wondering if it's bad for her... my friends say she'll grow up to be a gambling queen and her first words will be pong and kang! if we don't have enough "ka" i will call you!! but warning we play very small, $0.10/$0.20 only!!
sneaky: you're so lucky!! Xaby seems to get rashes everytime even if she's eating food she's had before, had to be very careful else her face all red.
SSL: where do you work?
chris: thanks... am now starting to worry she'll have to go major dieting when she gets big but she LOVESSSSS to eat!!!

patsy,
yah... scary when they are sick, esp when they have fever...
now she's better already. but still can 'hear' the phlegm.
if dun get better by fri, think i'll bring her to kkh to make sure the lungs are cleared.
no choice... can't depend on single income. so the plan is to stop work till end of the year only.
me dun know how to play mahjong
chris27,
so far, my ger's been eating cereal for breakfast and porridge for lunch and dinner. I use 2 - 3 chinese soup spoon of rice to cook for both meals. cannot finish all tho.. so i finish watever's left. she's drinking abt 700 - 900ml milk, depends. PD did say tat she can drink up to 1 litre per day for her weight and age.
guess the other way u can increase milk intake by adding it to the cereal.
i guess most imptly is tat doc say their growth is ok.
realise that it's quite hard to compare... each baby have different appetites and feeding habits

i too given food with egg white, and many other things like mushroom, pasta, marcaroni, cakes... clarisse got no allergies too. But the only allergies are from those baby chair she sat on. last nite went Sakura at Tampines, clarisse sat on the bb chiar, her legs all got little red dots.

wah...i feel like crying!!! my Samuel is sick again! he's gotta be nebulised again!!! he's been coughing for 3 days and threw up 5 times in 2 days. this morning he threw up thrice and that was why i had rushed him to the clinic. at the clinic, he wheezed...haiz...all thanks to his cousin again!!! how can i avoid this har? my poor boy gets the virus everytime his cousins get sick. he merely recovered 2 weeks ago and now back at it again! i feel so heartache. this happened on a monthly basis ever since Samuel turned 3mths old. i had tried to avoid by bringing him to my mum's place when i knew one of them was sick. i only brought him home at night but he still couldn't escape.
i told my BIL's maid this morning to change the sarong cloth if my nephew sleeps in Samuel's sarong. this is because his mucus and germs get stucked on the cloth and then Samuel gets infected when he next sleeps in it. she quickly carried the sick boy into his own sarong and took the sarong to soak. i even commented that it's worth it when the 2 older kids get sick cos they gain knowledge from school. what about Samuel? he gains nothing except virus! wah, wonder what will happen if she tells her employer...haha..
sorry, i had to pour out my frustrations here...i really am at a lost of what to do already...

patsy, Samuel suddenly had an outbreak of rashes on the left side of this face. they are small little dots similar to heat rashes. according to the PD this morning, it could be slight eczema due to dryness. she asked me to put moisturing lotion on his face and keep it clean all the time.

could it be too much sun? maybe try to reduce the time she's out in the playground when sun is strong
sneaky
oh no... is the whole house airconditioned?? if so, could be the virus circulating this way. i think the virus and germs will be in the air if the kids are sick. unless you totally dont stay there, otherwise bringing samuel back home at night wont help much also.

SSL, yes, our whole house is airconditioned. they opened the sliding doors only 2 days ago during the day cos the kids are ALREADY SICK. my MIL refused to let us open the main door cos of some myths...haiz...the air is not really circulating this way. i can't move out now...i feel so helpless and it really hurts to just watch my son fall sick...
fun, my FIL is actually looking at getting an air cleaning machine. the one he's looking at costs $3k plus. my hubby's worried he might get conned and asked me to do some research on prices as well. haiz...wonder if this will help...how good is the Belaire one? what is it actually? is it the burning one? my MIL has the gadget but doesn't have the solution.
i was telling hubby this morning. now that Samuel is not really playing with his cousins, he already gets the germs. next time when he grows older, they will start playing together and he will be more proned to getting sick! howwwww???

Sneaky: also tell the maid to spray Lysol or alcohol on the sarong stand, doors, environment before you let Samuel into the room. Even if you appear "kiasu," wash Samuel's hands with antiseptic hand wash or alcohol often. I normally use 70% isopropyl alcohol (Johnson's Brand i buy in Manila) that I put into an atomizer to wash Xaby's hands regularly if we go out. Also clean her toys using alcohol. I have lots of spare bottles if you want to try some.
Re: allergy - her PD has already seen these type of rashes, gave her a cream to put but it's steroidal so I don't really want to keep applyiing it to her face. I think part of the problem is that she's learning to feed herself and sometimes food ends up on her cheeks instead of mouth, so the cheeks get irritated.
Fun: Aiya today very busy coz going to China next week. And last time we had a check up he gave us some ointment but I was thinking maybe a derma can give a non-steroidal cream. Told the maid to put cold compress on the cheeks to make it less itchy, think it's working.
SSL: doubt it's too much sun, Xaby only goes out at 8 - 9 am and 4- 5 pm for about 20 mins each time.

yah.. poor xaby, rashes must be v itchy! when zoe has allergy rashes, usually we just let it be, if not apply corticosteroid sparingly..i didn't know bee hoon has additives! sigh, just fed zoe yong tao fu today.. bee hoon w tofu and chye sim in an ikan bilis soup base.. she gobbled it up!
sneaky: poor samuel! why does ur nephew sleep in his sarong? sigh.. maybe just routinely change the sarong cloth daily? yah, v difficult.. have to really isolate samuel fr his cousins which is difficult.. bringing him to ur mum's should help..

fushiastar: yeah.... she was so irritable and grouchy yesterday, much better today. Hehe.. I'm a food technologist by profession, so if you guys have food based questions, I can try to help
Did you cook the yong tao fu yourself? scared to let Xaby eat soup cooked outside because they put MSG and a lot of salt leh
fushiastar, nephew sleeps in Samuel's sarong because his sister was sleeping in their own sarong...they conveniently make use of Samuel's sarong when he's not using it...many a times, nephew is seen sleeping faced down and his mucus stained the sarong and he's been coughing onto it too...so unhygienic! change daily also no use mah...the thing is they should use their own cloth if nephew is sleeping and change it back to Samuel's cloth after use. then, this is fair and hygienic...
patsy, where can i get the spray? how can i keep spraying at the living room downstairs with everyone around? what will they think of me? too much such chemicals, okay for baby?

fun: please... my parents use this at home and if I can get the oils cheaper than in manila or US, I can get for them too.
Sneaky: just go to Watson's or Daiso and get a perfume atomizer, I pass you some alcohol (less chemicals). FYI, when Xaby was still in the NICU, the nurses would clean EVERYTHING around her with alcohol every 6 hours to prevent infection, that's where I got the idea. If you get one small enough you can discreetly spray lah. But if you ask me, even if they think you're strange, it shouldn't matter because you just have Samuels well being in mind. If anyone asks, just say that you are trying to prevent Samuel from getting sick too often because this may cause him to have lower resistance in the future. Plus, always having to go see the PD is expensive, not to mention the possibility of Samuel catching something else while waiting in the doctors clinic!!

sneaky: I'm gonna suggest u do what I do for my older gal. Give dong cong cao once a week, feed Nordic natural Omega3-6-9 (available at Vitakidz at Forum Galleria) daily as well as multi-vites. The Omega keeps her eczema at bay and seems to shorten her bouts of bronchitis. The dong cong cao also works wonders in keeping the cough and phlegm away. Once I stop the dong cong cao for abt 2 months the bronchitis comes back. Ember takes the dong cong cao as well. My Pd also prescribed Zediten (ketotifen) for Ember. She had to take it for 1 month for the medicine to be fully operational in the body. It's supposed to be a prevention for asthma, bronchitis, sensitive nose etc. Now my older gal has also just been prescribed ketotifen. She's gotta take it for 3-6 months tho. I'm hoping that it'll work as well on her as it IS working on Ember.
