(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

No choice, rather wife dye hair, do nails, massage in JB rather than in Singapore. At least the spending power there bigger. Can at the same time, shop of some CNY stuff and goodies, games and DVD.......
 


Liverpool, u drive there? Haiyo I ask my hubby go JB is as if I m trying to kill him, even before I suggest he already said no...and diff to bring BB there also.

Mums, so hard to keep up with the post. I have many things in mind to ask u mums n to response to some of u, but I dont think I have enough time to type now. Let me just ask this first,

ever since Emerson started to eat porridge 2x a day, he haven been drinking water. Not a single sip a day sometimes...but he still poos. ard 2 times a day but u can see its abit hard.

Mums, how much milk yr bb drinks a day when they take porridge/cereal? E is taking 120ml (w brownrice) x 4 times a day.
 
Hi Kloe,

i'm staying at Strathmore Ave along commonwealth ave. i know commonwealth ave is such a long stretch...

Anyway i have no idea how much my cait drinks cus she always latch on... she hates the bottle unless she is v. hungry. i prepare her cereal with bm and some carrots n mixed some brown rice in it cus she refused to eat brown rice. i havent start cait on porridge, was thinking of starting on porridge this coming week hehe... trying out some new recipe and see if she likes it.

sigh... envy those can dye hair and do nails. i have not done that since pregnant cus scared the chemicals will affect my bm. I don't do my nails cus the smell of nail polish/nail polish remover will affect the development of bb brain. i learnt it during my child development class. i don't even put perfume cus of the same reason. sigh...
 
Hi Zoe, I will not be able to attend the gathering on Feb 10. Would you be able to send me the bibs by post (when you back in Singapore lar)? I will transfer the money to your bank account.

Best,
Lucida
 
PM,

Answer your 2nd part of the qns 1st:

Gerrard drinking about 700 ~ 800 ml of milk with cereal per day, each time about 140 ~ 160. Except 1st feed normally about 190 ml while last feed about 100ml.

On top of that about 2 ~ 3 feed of solid per day, 1 feed about 60 ml. Normally brown rice with veg, veg menu will be decided by my wife ranging from pumpkin, green veg, sweet potato, organic tofu etc.

From time to time, will also give Gerrard fruit juice of about 10 ~ 20 ml per day.

1st part of qns:

Yap, I drove in, last time use to be quite frequent, but tone down abit when Gerrard was born. Now things more stablise already, so can kinda go there once a month.

Julie,

Ya, a lone ranger daddy here. So sad hor....

YB,

Kinda worried for you, there is at least a minimum of 20 adults going to your place, not sure how you can work that out. And with babies around...OMG...that is one hell of a task. Maybe should get TCS to come down, sure beat the Aug 06 mummies hands down.

Ylc,

I think dye only affect during the pregnacy stage. Nail polish as long as you let it dry up before getting near you baby, it should be ok. Don't worry too much, like that life would be EXTREMELY boring for mummies. Cannot eat this, eat that do this do that...like that die sia....
 
Hi Liverpool,
My hubby dun like to go shopping in JB. Firstly he feels it's very unsafe. Secondly, he doesn't have the patient to wait for me to dye hair & do nails..;(

Hi PM,
U mean Emerson is having 2 porridge meals plus 4 times of milk with brown rice? Tat's a lot! Dunno if his stomach can take it though...my gal only takes 1 meal a day plus 4 times of FM.

It's good to let Emerson drink water, else he may not like to drink water in future.

Hi Julie,
How's the FM? Did u order Similac? Issit the same as sold in local supermart? My delivery will come tomorrow afternoon.
 
Hi Liverpool,
Haa..haa...might not even have enough space for the camera crew leh...Think with mummies + babies + some daddies + some maids, may be about 50 pax hor...so late comers may have to stand at the doorway liao...haa..haa...
 
liverpool,

haha its true... but we ks so better stay away cus i am still bm my daughter... any chemicals will still enter body through the pores and as for nail polish hehe better be safe than sorry. even if dry already, the smell still there so i guess i would rather forego all these than risk my bb's development. haha now than i know how great mothers can be!
kudos to all mothers!
 
PM, Germayn just increased her milk intake to 180ml (just changed her teat to L, believe she can drink more cos of that) X 3-4 times plus 2-3 latch ons. and just one porridge feed cos she really hates that. haha. If E is taking 120ml with brown rice, would it be too heaty for him?

ylc, ya, i dont dare to dye my hair also. but i still put nail polish, only when i need to attend wedding dinners la.
 
haha i don't dare to spray perfumes or use any spray at home while bb cait is there cus my aunt told me its rather harmful for her. well there are so much limitations so me n hb agreed that we just go all natural.
 
Liverpool - is mediacorp lah...still TCS. Ha..can kind of guess your age haaa

YB, ya same as those in supermarket. come in one carton and 2 loose tins.
 
Morning mummies.

Anyone bringing their bb for the pneumococol jab? I'm in dilemma whether to bring my ger for the jab. Dr says if she is to do the jab from 7 mths onwards, must take three jabs. but if its after 1 year old, will be 2 jabs only. However, Dr did warn that there is a risk of catching the virus between 7-12 months so better to take the jab now. Sianz..jab again :-((
 
Hi may...
my doc suggested to do the jab at 7 months.. hai.. how ex is the jab ah? he didn't mention about the different number of jabs needed. according to my hubby whatever jab there is just take, dun wan to take the risk. =/ maybe i juz go to nearby pd to get it cos the usual pd is too far n must take leave to go.


Liverpool & YB, hai. my hubby also scared to drive up to JB, even last time before the bb. says dangerous n he not sure the way. butbutbut.. i used to go pretty often with my family last time la.. so far.. so good. oh well.


ylc, wow .. u're a very devoted mummy ah, never dye hair or do nails... i already dyed hair once n did my nails (feet) once.. the only thing is i dare not get nail polish done on my fingers cos i scared my girl suck my fingers n the chemicals go in...

zoe, welcome back to SG!

H peach,

I think depending on which PD u go to..the charges for penumococol should be around 300-500. I think so :p So u going for it? I am quite tired of bringing my ger for jabs..sigh.
 
the jab u mentioned...i think i will bring my boy when he is odler..like after 1 yr..cos less jab..so less $$$ hehehe
 
may,
wwwwwwahh.. so ex. haha. but health more impt hor.. fall sick even more ex and even more heartpain. i cannot bear to let kristen fall sick. i will call the PDs to check bah... hmmm.. i'm not sick of bringing her for jabs yet, so far she has not gotten much jabs yet leh.. (in my opinion). maybe cos i chose to do 6-in-1 for her.. so go very few times only..

sigh, officially, today, my maternity leave has been consumed fully. boohoo~ no more leave days to juz stay home n play with kristen..
 
peach, may
i think hong (or other mummies)ever mentioned that penumococol is necessary to have only when they got contact with other kids..like childcare or pre-sch...cos easily fall sick...my GP also mentioned take when older..less jab...like 1 or 2 jabs
 
Mummies,
can your BB crawl already ? I think my BB skip crawling.. he can actually support himself (standing) with his hands holding to chair. Can stand for a few mins. Wonder is it possible that not all BB go through crawling ?
 
Hi May,
Per jab is around $150 right? depending on how old you are bringing your bb for the jabs...I think I will only bring Ryan for the jab when he is 1 yr old (2 jabs only)...2 years old only need 1 jab.
 
may,

I asked my PD and GP. The cost for pneumoccocal jab is the same ~($170). I will let Joshua have the jab when he's 7 mths old. Cost is not the issue here for us, especially since Joshua goes to infantcare center. The younger the bb, the higher the risk if they catch the diseases.

PM,

Joshua takes 2 semi-solid meals (cereal for breakfast and porridge for lunch). Milk intake is 6 X (ave 120-150ml each).

YB,

Let me know what other food u need for the gathering, ok?
 
injection or assessment: I'm really dependent on my clinic, they always call to remind me of charlene's injection or assessment so I don't go flip health book to check...

YB, what the delivery abt?? ordering milk powder in bulk purchase?? is ti cheap? which supply did u go to?
 
Hi blessings and Lok,

So that means if the bb is going for 3 jabs, it works out to around $450. Yes, for this jab, itsprobably a question of necessity. Since my ger doesnt really mix with other bbs yet, maybe only when she is one year old, same as blessings :))
 
Wah, the pneumococal jab so ex ar..$450. I ask a PD in Jurong point b4,she charging $285. Dunno issit available n cheaper at polyclinic anot ley..hehe..

Hi Dsii,

Will try out fei zai sui tomo 2 c if she wants anot...im tinking of changing to formula liao but the prob is she refuse to drink plain water..so bopian continue to give her BM...argh !

Hi YB,
Then I will come ard 3 pm also..hopefully wun have to stand at ur corridor..haha..

Hi Z-lia,
Ur kids getting better oredi ? Seems like u r overloaded with work, ke lian wor...at least u still have me as ur pumping buddy..hehe..
 
Dsii,
My thinking also same as urs..less jab, less $$..hee...hee...

Hi eeyore,
I bought Similac Stage 2 BP from the forum here. Min 14 tins to enjoy free delivery + 1 free gift. Cheaper than outside retail price.

YB, most likely I would be going.. but I try to go as early as possible so hopefully not so crowded then my girl can interact with the other babies with her hearing aids on
happy.gif
if too crowded then cannot use her hearing aids, too overwhelming already for her.

Think by the gathering most babies can eat biscuits liao hor.. i bring baby biscuits lor.. so not only the mummies will be busy enjoying the 'goodies' :p
 
Dsii,
haa..haa...I sleep a lot during my pregnancy too. But didn't know it's related to bb leh...

Will ask Ben for ur membership card.

Hi Jurong Gal,
U also going for foto-u services? Under Ben? What time is ur appt? Mine is 2pm.

Hi Peach,
No prob. If really nobody come so early, can still interact wif my gal. hee...hee...wah, tis time got treats for bb also arh! I'm still thinking must prepare lotsa hot water cos definitely got mummies making milk.

Hi MTDT,
Think cannot buy anymore clothes for my gal liao..Spent too much during the Fox Baby sale..keke

Hi Sandy,
No need to try clothes on bb. Just look at the label. Normally, they'll indicate for which mth. I'll try to buy bigger sizes so can wear longer.
 
MTDT,
hmMm.. i looking at the jshoppers now.. very tempted. what's the exchange rate arh? *itchy fingers*...


YB, heh.. yup.. then got extra biscuits for ur gerger already lor :p so excited for little girl to interact with other bbies.. hope she's sociable. hehe.
