missmoon,
u can buuy the cotton wool ball or the one big roll right and do the cotton ball urself.
I hardly use cotton bud on baby. I used the cotton ball, wet it in warm water to clean baby eyes and face.
cleaning of mouth/tongue, think dsiitan explain very clearly. Baby will cry but have to be hard-hearted a bit.
missmoon, u know must pat the baby after feeding hor.u getting CL or ur mum doing for u? I think they will teach u. I think the nurse will teach a bit too.
Ru yi oil. Some pple dun practise this. We usually have 2 - 3 drop on our palm, rub it warm and place it on baby tummy. Believe to get rid of wind in baby tummy but be careful when the cord is still intact. Dun touch the cord hor and dun apply too much cos can be very hot on baby skin.

Hi Fen Fen,
Generally there is nothing much to buy at the JL sale at Expo. But I still managed to buy nursing bra @ $8.00 each. They have 2 designs ranged from $8/ea and $9.90/ea. If you havent bought any nursing bras yet, can go take a look. Very worth buying though it's not branded like triumph or wacoal...
I also saw Lucky Baby Steriliser selling at $59/-. If you are OCBC credit card member, will enjoy furthur 5% discount. =)

Cleaning of baby's tongue:
If you cant wipe off the white stain which most likely is milk residue from baby's tongue, you have to take note. It could be fungus or mould. This happens to my colleague's baby. At first she thought it is milk residue hence kept using a wet cloth to wipe it off and it was when her mil saw her rubbing and rubbing then tell her that it is mould. My colleague doesnt believe it initially but when she bring her daughter to see a PD, the PD confirmed that it's indeed mould.

Fen Fen,
So sorry, didnt really take note if they are selling both items that you mentioned. Only saw some rockers and strollers there.
Jazzyjas,
Gripe water is to get rid of wind for those colicky babies.
Wet wipes: so far, most of my friends recommend me PIGEON but i bought AVENT wet wipes instead.

missmoon,
Stout! errr i never heard of it before.
How areu going to tell ur mum?
Jazz,
just cotton handy to wash the baby tongue will do. I used to wrap the cotton wood on my index finger, dip in warm water and put it in to wipe her tongue.
Jazz,
i got the Johnson & johnson blue packaging wet wipe. Pigeon is also gd. I think someone in forum is organising a BP for wet wipe. I heard is gd and i am getting some to try.

my mom also told me that gripe water can be fed to bb after bath but main purpose is to rid of wind in bb's tummy.
u may wanna try pureen wet wipes also, cos my sis told me it doesn't leave a slimy feel after that. but i bought avent and pigeon liao...so will try pureen when i finish the other 2 brands.

i also dunno. i already sounded very reluctant when she told me...hope she caught the hint. haha

Hi Li May,
It is quite worrying.I thot that you'll be induced due to your mature placenta?500g is quite a lot. Maybe you should ask your gynae of the reason.....
Mummmies,
Last night couldn't sleep at all. The whole of last night, the inside of my pelvic area feels sooooo aching that I can't sleep. Whether or not the baby moves, the aching pain is there. This morning is still there but lesser. my goodness, the feeling is really miserable. Pain at joints and inside the pelvic ....the last time i felt this for my previous pregnancy, when I went to hospital, i was 2 cm dilated already.....so scary.At 36 wks my bb only 2.2kg, still v small. so hope she will stay longer...

Baby Bonus:
I received the forms for baby bonus during my pre-registration today. I was told that I can only submit the forms together when I apply for birth cert in the hospital. Otherwise, I have to go ICA.
Baby's Weight:
Just came back from gynae's visit. Baby's weight still very low...I'm now 34wks, but baby only weighing at 32wks. Gynae said my baby will only be abt 2.6kg at birth.

Oh, I think we are in the same boat. My blood sugar is also high. 13kg still ok, imagine me 20+kg liao. Think most of the food I eat goes to me and not BB, so sad. I am also anaemic u know. Makes me really really worried. Gyane keep warning me not to put on more than 2kg each visit, but i always 2. something....

Hi, All Mummies,
Thanks for all ur concern...I am still stressed out over the baby's weight, told my hubby, wat if the next check up, the weight drop again how?
My gynae explained it in a way becoz of the baby's positioning durin the measurement of his stomach etc.....
Haiz, I oso dunno. Imagine, after my checkup, I went to Robinson 4 some last minute, I was tearing coz I was blaming myself 4 not taking gd care of my body. Hubby happen to come along, got a shock that I was tearing in public, which is something that I dun do...
Now, I can oni wait and see for my next checkup

Furthermore, my previous 2 gals were 35+weeker & 36+weeker, I really hope that he comes out as a full term baby as he may be more healthier....but it does not seem so.
Worse of all, my weight dropped by a kg, but my gynae keep reassuring me that perhaps due to water retention. My poor hubby oso have to suffer with me, waking up several times to move me to the washrm as I can't move on my own due to the pain

Li May,
If the gyane says that it is only water retention then its ok. He would be the best person to depend on. Few more weeks to go ok. AS long as bb is above 2 kg, my gynae says to be confident that eveyrything is ok. No worries ok. I'm at 36wks now and bb is 2.2kg. I'm ok with that. don't worry that you've to have a 3kg bb for it to be healthy ok. 2+kg also ok.... Yesterday my friend visited me said that her doc miscalculated the wt by 1 kg!!! In the end, doc says becoz the way the bb is curled up in the tumy, measurement is not accurate, Moreover the bb's head is v small,but body long. So if you were to do calculations based on head and tummy and body measurement, not so accurate....so don't worry. Relax.

Mummies,
Just went for my check up yesterday - week 35 and baby still breech. Doc says will try to turn it manually next visit.
Li May,
Don't worry...these weight readings are estimates only, I read that it can be off by quite a lot sometimes.
Missmoon,
My SIL's mum uses stout to bathe her baby also...her mum said it for jaundice...dunno how true

Hi Li May, hope you're fast asleep now.. Dont worry too much about having a small baby, cos small babies aren't necessarily unhealthy babies. My twins came out small, 2.23kg and 2.405kg, but both are healthy. I guess that's the most impt thing. And the weight the gynae gave is only an estimate.
Am so tired now. Been alternating between the bed and the mattress for like..5 times thruout the last 3 hours plus. cos of the World Cup, my brother in laws are watching tv in my MIL's room, so the 2 kids have to slp with me..

i guess some ppl do practice that then. my mom told me stout will remove the "heatiness" fr bb....i also dunno how to tell her no but will try out once first...and if i'm still not comfortable, then i'll tell her to stop.
dsiitan, how u know blood sugar high? is it fr the urine test strip ah? cos in my last visit, i failed my urine test for blood sugar. but gynae not even concerned cos i did GTT and he said during pregnancy, my body cannot tolerate sugar so comes out in urine. he also dun measure bb size, just ensure heartbeat is there...now at 34+ wks, i also dunno how heavy is my bb.
