(2006/07) JULY 2006 MTB

waaaah, blessings thanks.

hahaa, can go crazy wif girls clothings...SOOOO MANY CHOICES. i think i can go mad shopping for my unborn niece. heh
 


Hi OC,

I'm glad Gillian is feeling better. It's really quite a heartache to see bb in pain. Do give her more H2o ya.

My ger has bad constipation and on Sunday, her stools was stuck halfway. She was really in pain and my sis had to use cotton bud to dig it out. My niece burst into tears when seeing bb in pain. My hubby nearly cried too. Sigh...


Re: Dresses

For mummies with bb ger, any ideas on where to buy dresses? I have been to a few usual 'suspects' but cant find anything nice and comfortable :))
 
May,

u got bring bb to see PD or not?? aiyo its so painful... *sob sob* maybe try giving more water n fruits to help to poo easily??
 
may,

yr bb also got stuck with poo poo ah..mine also last week..she sobbed so cham like wanna faint liao..me & hb try to pull out the poo poo but cannot leh the poo poo broke into 2 cos too hard le..then we tried to sqeeze & massage her anus part then finally popped out...i told my hb like we like gynae delivering bb ah...
 
Thanks moms for commends on hip carrier! Ergo carrier is the one like a kangaroo pouch right?! I already have one and been using it all the time. Now am looking for the hip sitting side way one. So that my pelvic bone will not have to keep sticking side way in order for her to sit on something..know what i mean? I think the one I saw(don't know what brand) is quite good cos the waist belt is quite broad(without shoulder belt). But of course when using this one u have to have one hand secure at the back of bb lor. Another choise is use sarong lor!
 
oc,may
ur bb so poor thing. when my ger more than 1 n half day never poo then the night itself i will give her gripe water le. cos i realised whenever i give gripe water, she will poo until alot one. sometimes can poo 3 times aday...each time also alot one!!
 
Still dunno the gender yet, but this pregency very different from the last one. Very bad MS for 1st trimester, going into 2nd trimester soon, hope things turn out to be better.

Some neutral colour clothings can share share mah. If not I sure cham become VPDD liao leh.
 
Fruitee,
La tea or Latte? hee..hee...just joking.

Lena,
My gal doesn't like to take gripe water leh..even though I diluted it wif drinking water. So I make sure she eats fruits everyday. Kay can eat 1 big bowl of apple puree a day. More than her porridge intake.

Liverpool,
Yah, if gal gal tis time, prepare to spend lotsa $$ hor..haa..haa...got so many dresses, tops, skirts, skorts, shorts, pants, overalls, hats, socks, shoes, hairbands, hairclips...etc etc.
 
YB
I use stringe to feed her cos she will not take when I dilute it in water. Wah, 1 bowl of apple puree, how do you make the apple puree?
 
may,
Thanks...ya like what Lena mentioned, gripewater helps in relieving my ger's consitipation in addition to fruits. Wah ur hubby so emotional ah, like that also wan to cry? Is it bcos reminded him of your labour time when u pushing ur ger out...hahaha...oops sorry, must be my lack of sleep :p

Dat time my ger's poo poo stuck halfway my MIL asks me to let my ger be in squatting position so easier to come out as compared to them lying down during pooing. Just to share my experience on this 'poo stuck halfway' topic...heheh
 
fruitee... thanks!

hong... how do u give the pearl powder? when ur ILs give, is it effective? n what is 'hou ning' ah?

OC n hong, can i get Dr Sim's add? if my girl's cough not better, may want to try another PD. so heartpain to see her coughing away... is it normal that after taking about 5 days of medicine, the cough still doesn't seem to get better?

Hi Lena,

Was trying to catch up with the postings here and saw a picture that you posted earlier whereby you show your baby play area. Where did you get the barrier from? How much?
 
Pillows - I got the babysafe infant pillow and new born also, both he doesnt like, then i bought boster.. he also dun like, I think its the smell, got a latex smell. He only likes his chow chow (beanbag pillow used since newborn)

Pearl Powder - Hong, how did u give to Julian? As in mixed in milk? I ever bought for E, but he never finish his milk then waste the pearl powder.

Zoe - Realli scare. Planning to bring E either to the zoo or cycling this weekend, but Im so afraid of him climbing out frm the seat while the cycling. Zoo seems to be a safer choice, but it be tiring for me.

May - My boy always liek that. He will cry afetr he poo poo de. A first i was heartache too, but i think i quite numb to it now.
 
PM
Don't worry! Relax and enjoy. Put the seat belt on E when cycling. Possible to distract him with some food as you start off? If he protests for a long while, you can always stop anytime and take a break on one of the many tables/benches, restaurants, bars, sand.... The zoo, he might not be interested in most of the animals but the children's zoo has a playground you could head for. Long way from entrance though.... Good luck! I'm sure it'll turn out better than you expect. ;-)

As for me, I'm not looking forward to my flight tomorrow with D. He's soo active I'm going to have to hold him and have him climb all over me for over 5h. Well, he'll take one nap in that time but other than that. It's a small plane so only one aisle to walk. Wish me luck!
 
PM
Yes, haven't flown since Jan. Will be very different experience now he's older and active and can be loud. Poor fellow passengers. Ha.... Zoo playground's outdoors so cleanliness is same as other otdoor playgrounds I've been to lor. I placed D in the swing which he loves and the slide and let him stand and hold on climbing things. He enjoys watching other children play so that's the main attraction for him at playgrounds.
 
zoe
where are u going tomorrow? only u nad dylan?

PM..
children's payground is just beside the KFC...somemore go 1 very shsllow pool..can bring E's swim trunk..and let him pay there..but if wanna shower..hmmm... i dunno hv bo or where...
 
dsii PM
I found the outdoor pool not very clean. Think it's fine for older children but for bb's not so good? Going with D and my parents to West Oz.
 
Zoe yah.. so good. Envy u! I dont even have the courage to bring E to zoo or anywhere let alone Overseas.. plane flight etc.. Really pei fu u.. I long for holiday sooo much. sleep also dream abt it.
 
PM, hi^5.. hahhaa.. i lack courage tooooooooo. worried that 3/4 of the time i'd be struggling with K at the zoo, she screaming cause it's hot.. n half way thru she decides to poopoo... or get cranky.. wah.. if go overseas..even more nervewrecking. already if next day got outing it's as if i'm planning for an exam. haa..
 
Lena,
To prepare apple puree, I just peel the skin, remove seeds & cut into small pieces...put into blender & add some water so it won't b too sweet. Then till puree lor & feed. Very easy. No need to cook.

PM, Peach,
Everytime I bring Kay out, I'll sweat like nobody's biz..cos like got 101 things to do..hee..hee..but still better than staying at hm.

Brambles,
My girl also down with bad cough and flu for the past week. Yest was day 5 of the medication liao...she's still coughing and can hear that she got alot of phelm. I went to EU Yan Seng yest to get her Hou Ning which was recommended by the lady. She say Hou Ning is better for babies since we dunno if its cold or hot cough...she say pearl powder more for cold cough and complexion...so for our babies Hou ning more suitable.
 
OC
my ger got her Roseola (fake measles)when she was 8 months. didnt get much spots, just a little bit on the chick and stomach. i think the obvious one is fever up and down...thats what my PD told me.
 
HI mummies,

Tks for your concern. I give her gripe water everyday leh..but still her poo not regular. Maybe becos she switch to soy-based milk cos PD said she lactose intolerant and had diarrhoea. Now we switch back to similac already, dun care, cos my mum said soymilk is heaty.

Pooh, wow, u very brave..dare to dig it out yourself.

Have mummies here started giving bb three solid meals a day? babycentre said bb at 10 months should be taking 3 times of solids a day. but just fyi.
 
Hi mummies,

OC,
Anyone who see my hubby comments that he is very Si wen.

Rashes - Red spots all over the body. Allergy will happen ard the eyes, and the eyes will be swollen. The spots will take abt 3 - 4 days to go away. Once rashes is out meaning the fever is going off soon.

Brambles, PM,
Pearl powder - just mix the pearl powder with cooling water on any spoon except metal spoon. Old pple believe hot water n metal spoon will affect the effect of Chinese medicine.

PM,
dun add in milk cos milk is hot mah. Pearl powder is tasteless, taste just like water. Both my kids enjoy having it.

Brambles,
It is possible that coughing last 5 days. Sometime it will last longer. For us, if we find the cough is getting worse then we will bring the kids back to PD again.

We give pearl powder when the kids are heaty. Like alot of phlegm, red lips, tongues, mucus etc.

My MIL will chose the pearl at the chinese medicine hall then the shop keeper will powdered it for her. It weighed abt "Yi Fen" very very light n cost ard $20. We spit it to two portions, give him half of the dose 2 days apart.

We find Pearl powder quite effective on the two kids.

I never give Hou Ning before but i heard mother from the other thread mention abt it. U can get from Eu Ren Sheng. I heard not cheap. U can drop by and ask.

Pooh,
thanks for the info. Dun think will get the pillow anymore. I may need to stock up Friso4 for my ger. Hopefully there will be a friso booth. What brand of milk is Celeste taking now?
 
Hong,

Celest is on Progress Gold now..

As for pearl powder, i also give to my 2 kiddy..effective in bring down heatiness, but like wat Hong said ex lor, Fu Hua charge $30 for 1 fen..i also pick the pearl & watch them grind to powder on the spot.
 
Zoe,
Enjoy your trip and update us when you back. Which part of OZ u gng? Im also planning to bring my girl to Perth ard Sept period and most worried abt her taking the flight...cos she simply cannot sit still..dunno is it got pins n needles on her buttocks...:p
 
Shopping List - actually i din even read thru it... just cut n paste only!! hahha

Kidzloft - if u gals wan to buy anything, can tongpang me. I will be going in June. (my boy's bday month)

May - huh? contsipation?? tot she just recovered from Diahorrea?? Same as the rest, i give him diluted gripewater... so his poopoo is ok.

Zoe - Holiday again!!! *envy*

Zoo - playground - v v big n spacious area & a pool area too. I went v v early... so looks quite clean to me. :p

OC - oh, hv rashes huh? think safer to check with PD becos dunno if it's allergy or really roseola.
 
hong - wow... good deal leh!!!
i also always prowl thru the WTS for good deals! haha :p

1 yr old FM - how? any good recommedations? Most pple tell me they giving Gain IQ.
 

Pooh,
wah that was ex leh. My MIL went to a medicine hall she freq. She doesnt trust those already pack in bottle. She says dun know wat other stuffs they mix.

Celeste is a milk lover? How much she drink each time and how many times a day? Janelle loves her Friso but i only allow her to take 3 feed each day and 200ml each time. Yesterday she was coughing in her sleep and puke everything out.
Janelle is a puking kid since young.
