HI ladies,
Din log on for some time. My maid has left so been doubling up as maid at home so been really busy to log in.

For cheese sauce, just a suggestion. If you have like the macoroni cheese like those in california pizza, think you will like the velveeta cheese. Just melt over the macaroni. Quite idiot prove.


Managed to get a swimming instructor that specialise in toddler swimming to come to my condo in pasir ris to teach swimming on fri morning. I need 2 more tods to start the class. anyone keen? He charges 25 bucks for 30mins session. please pm me will give more details. Cannot reveal where he is teaching but can only say he is a veri popular teacher teaching in infant swimming school in singapore.

Re: Cod liver oil,
I give my girl Nordic natural DHA capsules.she prefers it to oil. Maybe she likes the oppinf feeling of the capsules. Multivits generally should be given after food for max absorption.
Just to share. There was a news paper article some time back on the quality of DHA of brands available in singapore and NOrdic natural is one of the few reccomended ( i tink others include Usana and shaklee)as it is process via molecular distillation process so it is free from dioxins and PCBs.
 
ak, krissie,
I also couldn't tahan the not bathing part but I still try to stick to it. I think I started bathing 7days or 10 days after delivery and about once every 3 days in herbal water depending on the weather. if the weather is too cold, my MIL will advise me not to bathe. I am quite guai in this sense. I know my SIL quietly went to bathe without my MIL knowledge. so far, I am pretty strong though I think I still didn't do a good confinement because I didn't really rest enough. this time round, I am definitely going to be less tough on myself.

Krissie, I am due in end dec. in fact, my EDD is the same date as Clariss B-dae. hopefully the 2 of them can share the same b-dae but I think that maybe difficult.

Hi mummies,

Really cant don't visit this post daily or else will definitely get lost..... =)

Seems like many of you gives vitamins/cod liver oil etc to the little ones already....I've not given anything of this sort yet....hmmm....

A few questions
- Any recommendations for "beginners"? In capsules or liquid form?
- How to give in capsules form?
- Don't the little ones resist thinking that we're giving them medicine?

Hear from you all soon....
 
hi mamapanda,
i'm keen to get the nordic naturals cod liver oil. is it much cheaper to buy online? how much is it selling at vita kids? any idea?
 
mummies,
edgar has gotten this horrible viral thingy, suspected HFMD. his hands are affected the most as you can see from the pics. apart from the itchiness which irritates him a little when he's sleeping, he's otherwise fine. still active as ever. have gone to 3 PDs and referred to a dermatologist but none would confirm whether it's HFMD or not, citing that it could be that or just something viral. No medication is given and was told that it would go away on it's own. does any mummies here have any encounters on this, can share more? thanks!

Aileen,

Does the rashes appear on the sole too ? Anything on the tongue ? Any fever ?

I sometimes have similar rashes but just a bit on my hand. That is when I touches something very dirty or when I have allergy.

Which dermatologist did you go ?
 
mamapanda - yes you can use that email addy from my profile. Ok, will transfer the money to you ASAP. Thanks!

aileen - u want to bring him to KK for second opinion? Looks pretty bad. are there any water in those bubbles? may want to seek KK for their expertise. i know HFMD will also have red dots at the bottom of their feet and ulcer in their mouth. if there is none, i dun think its HFMD.
 
aileen

poor edgar.. but he's active still and eating alright? It looks like a nasty rash though...

mamapanda
after reading all the posts re: cod liver oil, i was thinking of getting the nordic cod liver oil, is your spree still on? Initially i was thinking of just using the good ole Scotts original one which I happen to LOVe the taste...

RE: immunization
Today tabby is getting her final jabs... then, soon di di's turn will start.. this time round, I'm definitely getting the rotavirus vaccination on top of everything else...

RE: JG
Can i ask you all if you were sent a confirmation letter for receipt of payment... tabby's class was prorated and she's due to start on 15 july... do i just turn up with her?
How's the class so far?

RE: VPOSTUSA
is the UOB discount promo still on? If so does anyone have the code?
 
Krissie,
wow, your confinement was much better than mine. I simply led a 'normal' life aside from the confinement food. 1st two wks at MIL's, I washed my own pump parts, bottles so already touch tap water. First hair wash happen before going for 1s chk at gynae's. I was sleeping in aircon too. :p

After two weeks, I was washing my baby's clothes on my own already and washing hair alternate days. I didn't do massage cos c-sect so had to wait a period, in the end i forgot about it.
 
Sysac, re: Indonesian maid in malaysia
SY, sorry.. think its Sysac who asked.. I repost it for her in case she missed it..

I've asked my neighbour already. They say if u want indonesian maid in malaysia, she can get her agent in jakarta to liase with you directly to send the maid to malaysia. You can call her for more details. Her name is Mavis Tong. Their office is :
Success Recruitment Services
No.1 Marine Parade Central,
#07-05 Parkway Centre,
Singapore 449408

You can call Mavis at 98584849.

Aileen, Chickenlittle, re: Nordic naturals
The bottle will cost SGD$26.30 before shipping. Shipping cost will be about $5-$7 per bottle (estimated). Vitakids at Suntec is selling at $49.30 per bottle. I checked their website already. So far, I've got 7 bottles, another 5 more bottles before I close the spree. Unless I get an overwhelming response, then I'll open another spree for the spill overs.

vpostUSA promo
Can only use the discount once. It discount code should be available in vpost website. you can check it out there.

aileen
Yeah, I think u should being him go see a PD if u dun wanna go KK. Kinda looks abit like chicken pox to me, esp if there's water in the bubbles.
 
hi mummies,
initially we tot it was insect bite becos it started off with only a few dots. then after 2 days, it started to spread and get worst. we saw a PD at railmall, she said it's probably dirty things that he touched, so prescribed some cream. but after 2-3 more days, it got worst. more area got affected and more intense, so we brought him to PD at gleneagles, this PD said it's eczema, so gave antibiotic cream. then yest, i see that things didn't get better and edgar had mild fever over the weekend, so brought him to see PD at gleneagles again. this time PD said he's afraid it's scabies, but he can't confirm. so referred us to dermatologist opposite his clinic. her name is Dr Tham Siew something, can't remember. she said it looks like something viral or could be HFMD. edgar did have an ulcer but we were not sure if it's due to HFMD coz coincidently he knocked into my hb earlier last week, so we are not sure if he bit his lip or not. and no, there are no spots on his sole.
 
Morning mummies

Aileen
Oohhhh, poor Edgar. Oh dear me, the rashes looks really bad! I recall some of the mums who shared when their todds had HFMD, they refuse to eat and even drink as it's too painful for them to swallow or something, plus fever. Hopefully it'll go away soon. They didn't prescribe any cream (steroid) to apply to help ease the itch and help to eradicate the rashes?

MamaPanda
I think it was sunny who asked about the maid in M'sia, if I recall correctly.

Grace
I started Daren on Scotts Emulsion Cod Liver Oil about 1 month back. So far so good and he doesn't rejects it. It's the only health supplement I've given him to date. I don't think our darlings know exactly what to do with those chewable muti-vits, chances are, I think they might spit it out.
 
mamapanda,
are they having 20% off at vitakids? think someone mentioned b4. if they are then i'll get from vitakids.

tabby,
ya edgar's eating fine and active as usual. doesn't seem to be bothering him.

mamapanda,
don't think it's chickenpox, coz i suppose if it is, the PDs shld have suspected. and i don't think there's water in it. don't know leh. looks dry to me.
 
mamachan,
ya the rashes are really bad. it looks much worst in person. very dark red, as if inflamed. but good thing he's still active so it's not so tiring on me! :p they only gave a moisturizer to keep him moisturised and medication to reduce the itch.
 
mamapanda,
Can I order 1 bottle for Ethan to try too? So far, like Mamachan, I only gave E scotts emulsion as the only health supplement. Bought seven seas but hvnt try yet.

Mamachan,
U will be surprise that our little darlings will enjoy chewing the multi-vits, especially if its tasty.
 
aileen,
poor edgar, I think you must be very heartache.
I used to have bad rash on my hands before as well. something like that but not so big on the back on my hand, mine has water in them and when it's dried up, it will be ok. it was so bad that I couldn't take anything using my hand else it will trigger the itch. I think KK is a better option to see a PD.
I believe it maybe allergy since if it's not HFMD or chicken pox. wash his hands frequently with water and dry them properly. don't let him touch things with chemicals such as soap and clean his toys frequently but don't use chemicals to clean them. take care of his food intake as well. try to give bland cooling stuff.
my rash went away after 1 week plus close to 2 wks. now I avoid the soap that gives me the rash and I have been cleared off the rashes for 6-7 years already.
 
Mamapanda,
Maybe i can get a bottle to let Megan try....
Can collect @ Hougang! Thanks

Wenyl,
what type of multi-vits are you refering to?
 
hi Aileen

Might be HFMD. How many days since the first rash came out... but if the experts can't confirm, n u have seen a few PDs ... hm.

My #1 had HFMD 2 times. The very first time is mild. Just a few spots and he was running and eating very healthily, no ulcer. But it's the 2nd time when there's quite a lot of rashes that he was not able to eat and that was really bad, and the rashes look similar to this. Is this just on the two hands only?

.ky.
 
Aileen
I'm not sure if vitakids are still having 20% off cuz I checked their website, nothing was mentioned abt 20% off. Anyway, the quota has been reached so I'm closing the spree. I can open up another spree and see how many more responded though if u still want.
 
tabbi,
Strange.. I didn't receive your PM but I ordered 1 bottle for you. BTW, bad news.. your VS bras have been backordered to 28/8

Looking for Angel's Wings
Any of the moms who bought the wings for our last Botanical Gardens PS wants to sell it off? I would like to get one for my gf's upcoming wedding in Nov this year. She's looking at Angelic Theme and she's booked Daren as her angel page boy and she needs an extra set of wings for her angel flower girl.
 
Mamachan,
I dun want to stay here cos of the culture. Anyway I dun think she will be ok with it. Bcos of the time difference of my customer, it is actually ok for me to work halfday. That's why she is offering me this option.

Aileen,
Poor Edgar, think it is better to bring to KKH. It looks like HFMD to me too. He been to any playground or places that mix around with other kids recently?
 
RE: Cod Liver Oil
SY, Tracy, Wenyl...thanks for the info. I've bot one scotts quite sometime back but have yet to give Mel.

Mamapanda
How's the taste of nordic naturals? Humm after reading about it am thinking of getting one but afraid Mel may not like the taste. She's a fussy eater
sad.gif


Re: Chewable
Do they taste better?

Aileen
Edgar's rashes look bad...I rem Mel's PD mentioned previously not all HFMD will have full blown symptoms. I find she's quite good and thorough and most imptly very patient. I can PM you her clinc address if you are keen to seek 4th opinion.
 
flo
I've also never tried it before. This is my first time but I heard alot good comments on this product, so decided to try it out. My neighbour and my hb's boss also getting 1 bottle each to try out. According to their website, its not supposed to taste fishy.
 
Aileen,
Poor Edgar. Hope he recovers soon. Is he attending any playgroup recently? Better check with the school if there is any recent case of HFMD there.

RE: DENGUE hse checks
Just now, 2 officers came to my plc to do spot check on mozzie breeding. Luckily I've got not many plants around. They are also checking the kitchen dish washing trays. So I thot better warn the mummies here. Btw, dun forget to clear the tray below our fridge cos it does accumulate water after a period of time.
 
Hi Mamapanda,
transfered money to you yesterday night about 9pm+... did you receive it? Oh dear....

Flo,
no lah, Melody was just a little cranky, she didn't disturb the class, I think first day all the kids were a little unsettled.... haha, your hubby wasn't around for the chinese class to see Shannon figeting and whining too... strange leh, i overheard your hubby telling the teacher that Mel is always likt tat in class, I remember her in positive babies, and she was fine! Maybe miss her mommy, that's why....

babylon, mamachan
Pls PM me your email addy and Hp numbers for my records can? Your profiles don't have email address.
 
mamapanda,
please include me in ur 2nd spree. thanks!

flo, may, ky,
his spots on the hands started appearing last sun/mon. now there are spots all over his whole body, hands and legs but nothing like those on his hands. his hands looked as if badly inflamed. i will seek another opinion if things doesn't look better by the end of the week. i'll check with shichida if they have any cases. coz that's the last class he went to b4 he had the spots.
 
SY,
the veleeta cheese comes in a pack of Marcaroni and Cheese, I bought it from Cold Storage, Yup, as Ashleyjames mentioned, it's idiot proof, just cook the pasta, and add the cheese sauce over it... but as ususal, fussy S didn't enjoy it much, my neighbour's gal loves it though! She can finish the whole pack!

Tabs,
the JG class is quite fun, similar to the holiday programme but with chinese section added into it...
happy.gif
Think you can just walk into the class, cos they have a register of names of those who are joining...
 
AIleen,
should be under pasta section, it comes in a dry cardboard box... I saw it right at the end of the row under Pasta section at Rail Mall's Cold Storage.
