hopefully get to clear the jobs asap then can at least see bb for awhile...
 
white lady,
2nd hep b jab is to be taken 1 mth from birth. must take one, else will kenna reminder letter from MOH (that's wat the nurse told us...)
 
missmoon
i oso thot fm fed babies had dark green poo. But after my bb switched to frisco, his poo become more yellowish and yes nan poo very stinky...

My mum told me just now tat she changed my bb's teat from pigeon to nuk ones and he finished all his milk in one feed else he refused to drink milk and cry each time she fed him. Fussy baby...
 
jul04, u went for the 6-in-1 jab bo? PD neh mention this ley. my bb took 2nd hep b jab 1 mth fr birth but nothing abt this 6-in-1?

yenny
ya, even his farts are stinky! nuk teats are those flat ones issit? i dunno if i shld change the teats or not...cos bb gets wind in tummy quite easily.
 
missmoon,
we going to take 5 in 1 in 3rd month. we were making appt for 2nd hep b jab back then, then nurse told us cannot take too late else MOH will send out reminder letter.

if you already took 2nd hep b then taking 6 in 1 will repeat the hep b right?
 
jul04
actually, i'm not sure, cos i look at the health book, it doesn't say anything abt 6-in-1. i know 3rd month we going for another jab for the polio + something else. this cld be the 5-in-1 jab then. nurse also neh explain, or if she did, i forgotten liao. hahaa, memory still not back wif me.
 
missmoon,
where are you taking the jabs for your bb? just call up and ask when the time comes. better be sure, dun want bb to take extra jabs...
 
white lady, sandy,
polyclinic definitely cheaper. me didnt choose polyclinic, due to convenience n time constraint. for my pd, they charge per visit jab ,no package for mine.
rotavirus is option. for me I want to take coz got older girl at home, hard to keep place , toys, envt totally clean. so for that reason, i take rota. i also going to take the pnemmonical vaccine also.
 
missmoon
yes, nuk teats are those flat ones. Oso nan milk very oily. everytime i finished feeding my boy, the bottles will be very oily.
 
Hi helloblur, I bring my baby to this clinic called Greenlife at Sembawang MRT station. My baby didn't have fever after the injection.

Recalled some ask me how I "hold the pacifer in place". hee hee.. actually I use my baby bean pillow to hold it - but can only do so sometimes. Sometimes not successful as bibi head keep turning. Only when baby head happen to turn abit side way and tilted up than I can put the pacifer and put the bean pillow below the pacifer to hold it in place. But alot of times not successful as once baby move the pacifer drop. Anyway, it works for a couple of minutes.
 
Read the story about Even. Thanks for sharing this as it makes me realise that what I have now and everyday life is a blessing. I use to think of why have baby and sort of regretted having baby as I think when they grow up, they will just leave us - so why have baby. But when I look at my baby, I'm just happy to have been thr this phrase of life. When I see my baby smile and the thought that I have given life to my baby, there is this indescripbable feeling of stability and satisfaction. I guess family is more important than anything else. At the end of the day, your job could be gone anytime. Well, children might go away too but i guess this could be something that strengthen relationship with husband.
Earlier I shared that I seldom talk to my hubby now cos' too tired. But now, I felt so blessed and more certain that I married the right guy (despite not rich nor handsome.., hee hee, abit on the plump side). After work he help me take care baby, wash bottle, plates, clean house, toilet.. without complain and have to take care of me too (when I fuss about the baby and my current life - no life, not enough sleep and getting old and stretch mark and now need to buy XL size pants - I use to wear M size!!).
 
lucida, I brought my gal to kk, there's a shop near 7-eleven... when u wanna make the brush, there'll be free hair-cut... actually hair-cut price already include in the brush, js invisible to us...
 
yenny
i neh notice the oiliness in NAN though, just thot the smell is very strong, yuck. but NAN is better in that it's got no bubbles when shaking bottle to disolve milk powder or when bb suckles. cos when my bb on Similac, lots of bubbles and that means bb suckling a lot of wind/air in?
 
Hong - We took the combi of HepB and 6-in-1 jabs coz my MIL is a HepB carrier. So, we had to take the HepB jab first. So, only come Oct will he be getting his 6-in-1 lor.

decimalpoint - My boy's intake sometimes drop and sometimes increases. Anyway, Pedi said - feed on demand and as long as your bb is growing (increase in weight), no worries!

White Lady - It really depends on the bb coz some bb get fever and some don't.
 
JP,
i am a bit blur. U just rbr ur boy needed 3 hep B jabs will do.

Sandy,
i think u can go for a massage to ease the ache. Did u engage malay massage the other time?

Missmoon,
yah if ur boy can drink then let him drink.

NAN - initially my boy poo is yellow then out of sudden his poo turn green. I called my PD and he said ok but i switch him to Mamil gold now.
 
I think I need to start spacing baby feeding time. Aiming for 3 hours.. But it's really difficult since I'm the only one at home. Very tiring not to give in to baby cry.. do you all have helpers or also by yourself? How you cope?

For the past two days my baby sweat alot. Morning when he wakes up his whole head almost wet - is this normal? Now I switch on air-con but the bill going to be sky high. Probably I should shave his head soon... too much hair already..
 
aiyo..i realised my bb ian got tears liao leh..now when he cries...eyes watery liao...i think another 1-2 weeks...got tears drop out liao...
 
Mine also got tears since 2 weeks back.. than whole eyes red like very chiam like that. Dun know baby chiam or I chiam..
 
Hi Lucida,
I agree with you, we are really very blessed. I used to complain my HB not tall (about my height), but he has been a responsible HB and father. Like your HB, never complains at all when doing most of the household chores, feeds baby at night and listens to all my complaints.... we should be thankful daily

haha. same. germayn is starting to have tears. everytime she cries she'll gek until her whole face red and one drop of tear will come out of her eye. haha.

lucida, i space by giving her pacifier... and like u..i use the bean bag to hold it in place. but when she turns her head, she'll start 'dancing' and 'singing' again. haha. or mabbe u wanna give her abit of water? im looking after my baby myself, but my MIL is doing all the housework. so it's still ok for me. when the twins come back from childcare in the evening, then it'll be scary. haha. and ya, my gal sweats alot as well. but think not as much as ur boy, cos my gal doesnt have alot of hair. hehe.

am so tired now.. going back to slp. twins just went to school. duno what was wrong with my elder gal ytd night. kept crying and only slpt at 2.30am. then at 2.45am the baby woke up for milk. after feeding i only slpt for 2.5 hours and woke up to pump. then till now... ZZzzzzz
 
lucida
i hv no helpers leh..hehe...i handle my 2 boys alone...morning from 8-12pm still ok...will send my elder boy to class...if ian cries after feed...clean diapers...water...then he must be bored loh ..hahaha..then will tok and play with him...then if i bored liao..i will put him into his sarong..hehe
 
Helo Mummies,

Tears...

Xaria started to have tears liao, den sometimes she cry until like no sound 1, so scary, den whole body all red...

Helpers...

I employed a maid when I was 5 months pregnant. So got her help.

WHitelady,

My baby takin her 6 in 1 jab at sengkang compass point. The clinic next to the mrt station. $369
 
NAN- that's the only FM I haved tried so far. No allergy, so sticking to it. just that his poo frequency, I hope it can be more. my pd told me before even 5days no poo also no prob, as long as it is not hard. i am just very paranoid!!

today my baby flipped himself over! as usual he is pushing with his feet, then suddenly, plong, over liao! then cannot flip back, stay there and eh eh eh... after a while turned himself back again. so funny!!
 
hallo mummies,

yesterday brought my boy to see PD, cos my mom told me he can't sleep well at night, and has alot of phelgm, even vomited the phelgm out on tues night. thot it was normal cos since birth already liek that.. but PD say could be allergic to dust or smoke, or maybe could be FM or BM

any bb has phelgm also? (touchwood!!)
 
misaryeo,
i have read that babies will make this sound that sounds like they have phelgm, but it is due to narrow airways. it will get less when they are bigger when the airways widen.
but vomit phelgm i am not sure.
 
MY,

My baby oso got phelgm, my doc say not advisable to give baby medication as now they still building their immune system especially the 1st 3 months. Eventually it will be ok, jus let it heal naturally. This is wat my doc say. I think diff doc got diff opinion.
 
decimalpoint, i waiting for my son to flip.. he halfway there already..

i hope so too.. very scare phelgm will lead to cough... hopefully small problem only...
 
ian oso started to flip over..but he so ge kiang...can only flip halfway..then kena stuck in that position..cant flip back or flip forward..hahaha...

ian oso has phelgm..but PD said its normal..will clear by itself....
 
Mich, my doc nv say anything.. but the medication is to take only when necessary. so after giving twice.. i'll just monitor and see how it goes..
 
hopefully everything ok.. i think my parents very gan jiong also. their baobei grandson, abit abit they will gan jiong.. anyway at least see doc liao more fang xin..
 
MY & dsii,
my bb also on the big side - 5.4kg @ 6 weeks. PD quite amazed but never say i overfeed le. say as long as he is growing well then ok.
 
hi mummies,
did u check your bb's lower front gums. my bb seem to be showing signs of teething coz there are 2 lines at lower gums where the 2 teeth cuts open. she keeps on drooling, biting her fist and using tongue to rub her gums. when i use my finger to go over gums, no teeth yet.Isn't it a bit early???
 
i think depends on their wt when they come out also rt. like ian come out so big and strong, wt shld be on the higher range one ba.
i think ~1kg/mnth for 1st 3 months is ok. subsequently slower.
 
kin,
i think not sa fast grow teeth rt? but i d o notice that my baby also drools a lot and like to eat his fist n put his index finger into his mouth to brush his teeth.
i m still letting him wear mittens but my brother says he eats the mittens will get asthma cos the loose "mao2" frm the mittens may irritate his airways.
how? dun wear he poke his finger into his eyes leh
 

Kin,
is possible. Some NB even born with teeth due to too much calcium.

Misaryeo,
my boy is also 6kg at 2 months old but he doesnt look as big as his sister at this stage.
