is anyone using the glass bottle (from hospital,that used to store liquid FM) or other normal milk bottle (eg.pureen / tollijoy) to freeze EBM?
cause i just read from a website that Glass that is not specifically manufactured for freezing has the unfortunate ability to crack, leave behind tiny, microscopic shards and fragments and also is prone to bursting.
so a bit worried if the glass and bottle that i've been using to freeze EBM can be used this way

wow, u even pump milk when out of hotel! how u store the ebm after that?
as for storage of ebm, I use milk bottles...long time ago, I already heard glass bottles may crack when frozen...so if u wanna use glass bottle, use it to store emb in the chiller loh....
when's your son's dob? so good, he can eat cereal from spoon...I'll try spoon feed my son again next week

yeah, spicegal, now bb below 2 oso need to pay for airtix and airport tax too! Like u, i oso thot it's free for bb below 2.. was at first telling my hb that we shd travel as far as possible b4 bb turns 2.. but now seems got to change plan..
cos if too early bring then go far far places like US disney, they oso won't understand. waste of $.
KK, yeah, bb below 2 got to pay a few %, abt 20% of the normal fare price, i think.. they are not entitled to promo fare price... e.g. when i chk with SQ for BBK tix for bb, bb got to pay $250 including airport tax.. so can be quite ex.

Hi Mummies,
I am a July mummy. I need advice- My baby has been turning in his sleep. We tuck him in bed facing up, but he will flip and we find him lying on his stomach almost every night. When I see that, I will turn him over, but he will flip again. I am worried he might not know how to turn and breathe. Placing pillows at his sides does not help as he can flip over the pillows. Any mummies facing the same situtaion and what do you do?

u are not alone. My son also flip now when he is sleeping. As he don't know how to flip back or sleep with his head sideway, when he make a little noise, me or hubby have to wake up & turn him back. I know its very tiring but we told ourselves its just a passing phase

Hello Mummies,
Little Kelly was warded last week because of suspected URTI and she excessive vomiting. BTW, does any of your babies show symptom of decreasing appetite? My gal has been struggling with her 180ml of milk (Dr. Winston told me that she should be clocking in 200ml these days). Im bringing her to Dr. Winston this evening.
Ive tried Frisocream but my gal dont like it too. Got that because it was a product of Holland as compared to Nestle (manufactured in Malaysia). I got her those Heinz bottled apple and pear juices too and am introducing those bottled food from Gerber and Heniz.
My gal like to fiddle with her ears these days ... magazine said that this could be a sign of teething ... anyone of your experience that?

panda,
I m worried i didn't hear him when he turn.
anyway today one of my colleagues gave me an idea- tie a bell on his ankle so that any noise he make we will be able to hear.

hv u tried putting ur boy to sleep on his front?i hv been putting my gal to sleep on her front since she was 2 weeks, she's now 4 mths. I did it cos I was training her to sleep on her own and she wails the house down when she's lying on her back, she cried less when she's on her front.
When we first put her on her front, we monitor her for abt 1 hr, and surprise surprise, we found out tat even she gets stucked wif her nose in the bed, she automatically turns away after a while. In fact, my sis was the one who advised me to try the front position and all her 3 kids were trained to sleep tat way.
My prob now is in the middle of the nite, when she flips to her back, she starts to cry cos she doesn't like the position, haha, then i just turn her over, and all is peaceful. Thankfully, this doesnt happen too often. Once or twice a week i think.

Good afternoon ladies!
Michele,
I pray for a smooth surgery and quick recovery for Brendan.
BTW, r u still organising the HT bulk purchase? I am thinking of getting cereals and teething biscuits.
Paula,
Poor Kelly! I hope she is recovering well. kids r really so vunerable.
My bb is only drinking 150ml but she is growing well so i'm not too worried. I suppose if Kelly is growing well, u dont have to worry too much that she is not taking the recommended.
Fi,
wah! like that also can? haha! your pic is quite comical...ya loh... like making an ad!
Glad the papaya and fish works for u
Hiaz .. i was hoping to eat papaya for lunch today but they r not selling it today
Lyn,
what did i say to remind u of your dream and what dream?
Yeah! Fiona did her first flip yesterday!! was glad i witnessed it! actually she has runny nose and i think she wanted v much to wipe her nose onto the bedsheet!!! that was why she made the flip! haha!

aishite,
that means u have to keep going back to hotel 3 times a day at Hanoi?
Michelle,
my boy also had some heart murmur sound after he was born.the doc says its only slight PDA, bringing him back for 2nd check up to monitor in Nov. But the doc says to treat him like a normal baby, the hole has closed just need to monitor. whew.. hope Brendan will recover well.
Paula,

Aishite,
Oh, I saw two pearlie on her lower gums am bringing her to the PD to check cos Im worried that she is not drinking enough. According to her PD, she should be taking at least 1000ml of milk on a daily basis.
Fi,
Kelly will be 5 months old come 5 Nov 06.

Tinklebell: yes, still organising. where do u live?
Fi: my not a normal VSD, a bit more complex... Fallot's Tetralogy. in fact a lot more complex... must have surgery else he wont grow. about 80% of babies are born with a hole in his/her heart but they usually close up on its own.
thanks everyone for ur prayers & well wishes...can imagine how stressful i am.. lucky hubby just flew in last night. he's gonna be here for the surgery.

decimal pt,
thk at this stage, all bbies are learning to flip and in fact they flipped when they sleep too! as for my bb, same thing he'll flip & sleep on his stomach though we tucked him to bed lying up. we secured/ surrounded the bed with bumper instead of pillow.. cos pillow may be too big & just in case he flips and his face may land on the pillow.. it can be quite dangerous.. in fact we do away with pillows.. hard mattress is the best!

wow yr bb drinking quite a lot.. my bb now 4mth2wks only drinking 150ml..

Thanks, Mummies. Yea, Dr. Winston keeps on urging me to give her more and he said she should be consuming 200ml already... sigh.
BTW, is it common for us to feel that there is little 'sunken' feeling on the baby's fountella?

Paula: my DD has been playing during her feeds and she doesnt finish her 170ml. notti girl right ! i think it's ok, just make sure you feed her more to make up for it if she starts to fuss/cry later. in my case, she gets really hungry at 11pm, and will guzzle on both sides (latching on) usually she only drinks from one side and it's enuff for her.
