bello, I suffered mastitis previously when I was still working part-time (during dd1's time). Horrible experience indeed. Furthermore it was SARS period then and I had no idea that I was suffering from mastitis then. You wont' believe how worried I was.
For dd2, being a SAHM really helps. Since she's regularly latching on for her feeds, I've not experienced any form of breast lumps or mastitis. So for working mothers, must really express regularly. Hope you are much better now.
Btw, your cake design very the original.

My conversation
Now, my girl has turned 1, I am focusing my efforts to get her speech right. Ha KS mum.... I know. Yesterday night, I had an intelligent conversation with her... at least I think so... ..
Sien: Mama..
Me: Why?
Sien Mama
Me: You want me to baobao??
Sien: Bao bao
Me: Okay... (carries her) Where do you want to walk to?
Sien: (Points) there.... there?
Me: Why?
My mum interjected: She saw the ants....
Sien: There.
Me: Okay... walks there and ask. What is that?
Sien: EEEEE.... EEEEE (Points to ants)
Haha. I think this is just the right rambling of all the words she knows. Her favourite being... there...

<font color="0000ff">My DS is recovering from a fever developed few days ago. Took 2 days' leave to take care of him. He was very clingy and had no appetite for food except for mummy's milk. He was crying when I prepare for work this morning and I was really sorry to leave him behind. I am quite worried as my mum (whose taking care of him) said that he refused to drink EBM after I left for work. It's the first time he cried when I leave home and refused to drink EBM!
Just to share some info on fever as per my doctor's advice:
Temp > 37.5C - Take medicine e.g. panadol, and monitor his temp
Temp > 38.0C - Bathe baby in lukewarm water regardless it's day or night. This is to prevent fits which can be life threatening.
My DS is allergic to one of the medicines (Voltaren) prescribed as he developed rashes and had swollen lips just 1+ hours after the medication. It is really heart-wrenching when our little one(s) was sick and unable to voice their discomfort except crying or fussing. I feel so helpless at times.</font>

<font color="0000ff">Sterilising bottles
I read from a magazine that bottles should be sterilised until baby is 1 yo. So, I presume it's pretty safe to stop now. However, I'm still sterilising them since I am sterilising my pump parts as well.
Ivy,
You're a strong mama! Able to sling Xavier around through the zoo trip. I can't do that as my shoulders and arms will be numb!
fates,
Thks for the info on FOTZ card. Can we save a copy of the photo? hehe
On the side note, going out with baby nowdays can be a bit troublesome - gotta prepare his meals, cater to his nap times, etc. But, since I can't bear to leave him behind when I'm not working, gotta bear with the arrangements.
BTW, anyone bring your little darling to the cinema for a movie screening?</font>

gabby,
at least your girl can call you mama. do you know what is Axl's 1st word? McDonald. of cos his pronounciation is not accurate but i still feel 'gek sim'. we only bring him there occasionally on sunday mornings for hotcakes. my mum brings him there for the ice-cream cone once in a while.
some people tell me girls develop faster in speech compared to boys. wonder how true.

bbloh,
sorry to hear about your boy. hope he recovers fully soon.
I will not bring Axl to the cinema. he has very short attention span and i dun want to end up carrying him, walking around the cinema to entertain him. I have not been to the cinema for ages..did not even go during pregnancy.

<font color="0077aa">Hi Fates, thks. Ya, Caius has been quite tanned looking since birth! I think he takes after his daddy
Hi shawny and all
My sick breast is almost fully recovered now. But you won't believe what happened last wk... I developed an allergy to the antibiotic (cefuroxime) and all my gums broke out in blisters which later became painful 'ulcer patches'! This happened on the 2nd day after taking the antibiotic! It has been so painful ever since (sigh! double pains for poor me!) that I haven't been able to even brush my teeth! It hurts so badly!
I have been eating porridge and soupy stuff only eversince, and I think I lost another 1.5kg!
Hahaha...
My BM supply dipped 'cos of eating too little (and not so much coz of mastitis)... and today for the first time, we had to take out 1 packet of FBM. Hope my gums will recover soon and my supply goes back to normal quickly!

hi fates,
i started my gal 3 mths back. She still doesnt poo at a regular timing but will make noise b/4 she poo. So we'll bring her to the potty and at the same time ask her to pee.
We also put her on potty every morning b/4 bath to try getting her to poo/pee. Sometimes do get lucky

fates, i got my girl's potty from Kiddy palace...less than $20...it's like a chair with back rest and side rests too...she's quite comfy in it, at least can lean back...
she usually will poo after her first feed in the morning, so from 7th month onwards, i've been putting her in it every morning, 10 mins after her first feed. i usually will read to her and then make the 'mng mng' sound ....she poos in it 90% of the time after about 10 mins, sometimes shorter...
someone told me at their age, it's more to get them used to sitting in the potty and equating the sound with the action...not so much toilet train as in no diapers...maybe u wanna try get a different potty for your boy.

Hi mummies, celebrated Amber's birthday with close family members yesterday. Here's a pic of her cake.
Must confess that I didn't plan anything special for her this birthday. Ordered the cake on Friday and we tau-pow'd food in to feast. At least, Amber seems happy that there's so many kids around to play with.

<font color="0000ff">Ivy,
I have the IKEA Friends card, so is entitled for 10% discount for FOTZ card membership. If apply online, not sure if there's a field to key in the card no.
You look rather well toned to me leh. Ethan also likes to cling onto me. His papa and grandma must take a second stance when I'm present. He's obviously "bullying" his mama coz he'll cry when I put him inside the stroller or hand him over to other people!
anastasia & leejen,
I took Ethan to the cinema last Saturday afternoon to watch <<spiderman>>. I nursed him throughout the show (about 2 hr 15 mins). Luckily, he only fussed shortly 2 - 3 times before he's on the breast again. He even had an hour's siesta! This is really another advantage of breastfeeding.
So, did anyone go the zoo last Sat?
I've not started potty training (or Elimination Communication) my boy yet. For more info, can check out: http://mummysmilk.com/info/index.php?id=14</font>

fates,
i can make it for gym on sat.
Zoo,
we are looking to go tmrw afternoon ( vesak day!) you wan go together?
Toys fighting
wow, last nite we witness a war between Xavier and Kaelyn. They were fighting and screaming over a doll. Neither side refuse to give in and we could just sit and watch cos they refused to be distracted by other toys.
I suppose they are not ready for care and share at this stage. But good exposure for them so they dun end up as "spoilt bread aka brat".

Yeah ladies, no update on the zoo outing leh?
leejen & fates, thks. The cake's from Ecreative. I've got 'fussy' tastebuds so their cake suits me just fine. I think my relatives are really tired of eating Ecreative's cakes cos every year I'll order from them without fail.
littletot, I'll be bringing Amber for her chickenpox jab on Friday or sometime next week. So far Amber has taken most of the required jabs ..6-in-1, pnuemococcal & rotavirus doses.

Takes for the advice. Looking at the Healthbook and doc's noting...will take the MMR when Amber's around 18mths old. So by then, will be the normal MMR.
Regarding egg, my mum boiled a hard-boiled egg recently for Amber to try but she didn't seem to like it. Her big sis loves it though.
