Hi jasmine,
kayden was like this two weeks ago. vomitted out milk too. was rather shocked at first but he seems happier after vomitting out the milk with the phlegm. dunno how to help too. i just elevate his pillow by adding towels below so he can breathe better. hope she'll recover soon.
hi fiona,

luckily jadelle fell on ur HB.
last fri, i was taking my shower and my girl was playing on our bed with my HB when he dozed off. and she fell off while crawling ard...and there was a small "baluku" at the side of the forehead.
we monitored her for a day and she's all fine now.

Hi Butter8,
That sounds really dangerous!!....maybe becos he is a boy that's why he is not afraid n he must be a very active bb.
cocomo
my girl had constipation problem at ard 3 mths old and when i brought her to my PD, she said poo with blood is quite a serious thing (her poo was hard but without blood), so i think if ur bb still hv not recover, it will be better that u bring him to ur PD.

superdad,
do u mean 50ml or 500ml? IMO, 500ml (abt 17oz) for an infant below 1yr old is a lot. our bbs r supposed 2 consume between 500-800ml of milk now (depends if e bb takes 1,2 or 3 solids feeds). if ur bb drinks 500ml, then how much milk can he drink? when ur boy drinks so much water, dun drink enuff milk bcos slightly full fr e water, how 2 b bah bah? is ur boy taking solids now?
wat's ur boy's PD's view abt tis? i did ask my boys' PD abt water intake n her view is max 2-3oz per day for bbs drinking FM. if bbs on TBM, no water is fine.

Katherine,
Jay today's poo quite soft and no blood liao. He only poo once ytday with bit of blood. Since your PD mentioned this quite serious then I think play save beta bring Jay to see PD tomolo. Thanks!
Superdad,
I think 500ml is a lot!! I only give Jay drink abt 1-2OZ after each solid feed (He's taking 2 solid meals now). Where can I get the prune juice? what's the brand name? how much to give?

kelly, cocomo..
Har...not sure is it too much for him...but seem like he like to drink water lei..hehe..
can get the prune juice from Cold Storage, Henzt..Ard $1.50 per bottle..
Yes,like kelly, i usually dilute it with water (abt 50% water) although it mention can directly let e bb drink it..but i feel tat e taste is still strong..
I mean is whole day intake..
usually wake up in e morning he can take 3~4oz(100ml)..and every 1~2 hrs feed him wif some water again and again lor..
And his FM as usual, take in 200ml every 3~4 hrs day time, and 4~6 hrs nite time..
Hence he can poo within 2days..
His current height is 70cm and 8kg..

Hi, cocomo
my baby last time also poo poo with blood... got so scared & worried & bring her to see doc but doc told me not to worry cos her skin had tear cos of the hard poo poo & the doc showed me where is the tear of the skin & asked me to apply some cream on it & also give some oral medicine for baby to drink so that the poo poo that she pass out will be soft.... & baby is ok after a few days....
if baby poo poo is hard, can try sweet potatoes..as it really help.... now my baby poo poo once or twice everyday once i started her with porridge..... did feed her Heinz cereal & resulted in very hard poo poo so stop giving it to her....

hi cocomo,
my baby also had a little bit of blood in his stools during his 1st month. doc at polyclinic says any blood in the stool is not usual so must see doc to ensure that there's no blockage in his intestines. kayden is like jia hui. a tear in the anus. just let him drink more water.
hi augbaby,
ya, he's the last one in the pic. bought the outfit from eoutlet (one of the overseas sprees).

I realise that there is other mummy named Katherine here. So, I changed my name to CrispyApple so as not to confuse everybody here.
Hi Fiona,
Denise is so cute. Have voted for her too.
Hi SuperDad,
Your boy sure drink a lot.
Mine is drinking FM and his milk intake is around 700 ML per day. Water intake only 10 - 20 ML. Not even 1 oz. He's taking 2 solids a day - 1 around 11 am and 1 around 4 pm.

PULLING TO STAND
edward pulled himself 2 stand on tues nite, exactly at 7.5mths old. i was chatting on e phone n he suddenly stood up while holding onto his FP toy. i was so shocked n he didnt stand for long, mayb 2-3secs only.
looks like edward's gonna skip crawling, juz like his gabe gor gor. ever since tues nite, edward has been trying 2 pull 2 stand at every opportunity n thus he has hurt his head (as in fall backwards n knock his nead) a few times liao. he cant grip well or adjust his body, allowing him 2 stand, tat's y fell easily. so me very 'bo eng', need 2 watch him every sec.
was juz telling husband tat edward most likely will walk by 11-12mths old. gabe walked when he was 14mths. in e past mth, very hard 2 carry edward. he often wanna literally jump out of our arms, 2 join gabe in his activities (b it sitting down playing wif toys or gabe was walking around, doing stuff). very dangerous act of his n we need 2 hold him tight & close 2 us.

i started planning 4 #2 when gabe was 7-8mths old. despite TBFg, my menses came back when gabe was 6mths old. like ur husband, my husband has e same tots. juz hv a #2 quickly n get it over n done wif. anyway, when old folks c u wif 2 kids of such close age gap, e universal phase they'll say is "it's tough in these 1st few yrs but 2 kids grow up tgt so it'll b 'si-nang' 4 u later on"
wat e old folks said makes sense n it's also partly me & my husband's decision 2 hv kids wif <2yrs age gap. i dun like a big age gap cos i cant imagine gabe being 3-4yrs old n i hv 2 go thru all tat nappy-changing, washing & sterilising bottles, BFg all over again.
husband n i tried for abt 6-7mths then i preggie. by then gabe was 14mths old when i knew i was 5wks preggie. i was still BFg then n based on gynae's strict instructions, i had 2 wean gabe off. it was VERY TOUGH cos gabe never drank fr a bottle since he was 2mths+ n he dun fancy FM. tat again is another long story on how i wean him off
as 4 BFg during pregnancy, it all depends on e mummy. it's perfectly fine 2 BF while being preggie BUT ur gynae need 2 assess ur condition. 4 me, my gynae didnt allow me 2 BF bcos gabe was a premature bb, who popped at 35wks (my water bag burst). i was intending 2 BF gabe thru my pregnancy but my gynae said NO NO cos he feared tat my BFg may bring abt contractions in e womb. so bo pian, i stopped BFg then. i still remmeber e date when i stopped.
it was indeed tough in e 1st & last trimester cos i was puking, very tired in e 1st trimester (like all mummies lah). right when i weaned gabe off in early dec, it was also when he started 2 walk independently (as in able 2 walk without holding pp's hands - u'll understand wat i mean by tis when time comes 4 jay 2 walk). so lagi more siong cos gabe suddenly had like newfound freedom 2 explore e hse n everywhere we go (i not e type 2 stay home on wkends and wkdays). the worst is bcos u r preggie, ur kid can sense it (according 2 old folks lah) n bcomes more clingy, more ley chey 2 handle, more difficult. it was true. no fun at all in e 1st trimester.
it was a breeze in e 2nd trimester. i dun feel tired, had lotsa energy n i was still bringing gabe out almost every other day fr mon-fri n bringing him 2 activities on wkends. of course tummy was growing so it became kinda difficult 2 carry a 10kg+ tod. i've learned 2 carry him sideways n i used e sling when i go out wif him.
in e last trimester, rather siong cos belly rather big (edward's a bigger bb than gor gor) n gabe was more active. i even brought him 2 a term in GUG (abt 8wks) n handled him thru out the 1.5hrs class (tat was a killer cos gabe couldnt sit still in e class n i had 2 run after him in e class - wait til u send jay 2 such classes, u'll understand y it is tiring 4 a preggie 2 run after a cant-sit-still toddler. hard 2 explain how e class mechanics works)
thru out my pregnancy, i had 2 toilet train gabe (tat is bend down 2 clean up his pee/poo puddles, change him, etc), make sure he gets his 'education' by learning stuff, handle his nite feeds, bathe him, etc - aiya basically handle him like usual lor.
in conclusion, tiring BUT definitely worth it. esp when i c boys playing tgt now n each of them bringing me unlimited amt of joy, sorrow n pain everyday.
pai seh, very lor soh

it was indeed tough in e 1st & last trimester cos i was puking, very tired in e 1st trimester (like all mummies lah). right when i weaned gabe off in early dec, it was also when he started 2 walk independently (as in able 2 walk without holding pp's hands - u'll understand wat i mean by tis when time comes 4 jay 2 walk). so lagi more siong cos gabe suddenly had like newfound freedom 2 explore e hse n everywhere we go (i not e type 2 stay home on wkends and wkdays). the worst is bcos u r preggie, ur kid can sense it (according 2 old folks lah) n bcomes more clingy, more ley chey 2 handle, more difficult. it was true. no fun at all in e 1st trimester.
it was a breeze in e 2nd trimester. i dun feel tired, had lotsa energy n i was still bringing gabe out almost every other day fr mon-fri n bringing him 2 activities on wkends. of course tummy was growing so it became kinda difficult 2 carry a 10kg+ tod. i've learned 2 carry him sideways n i used e sling when i go out wif him.
in e last trimester, rather siong cos belly rather big (edward's a bigger bb than gor gor) n gabe was more active. i even brought him 2 a term in GUG (abt 8wks) n handled him thru out the 1.5hrs class (tat was a killer cos gabe couldnt sit still in e class n i had 2 run after him in e class - wait til u send jay 2 such classes, u'll understand y it is tiring 4 a preggie 2 run after a cant-sit-still toddler. hard 2 explain how e class mechanics works)
thru out my pregnancy, i had 2 toilet train gabe (tat is bend down 2 clean up his pee/poo puddles, change him, etc), make sure he gets his 'education' by learning stuff, handle his nite feeds, bathe him, etc - aiya basically handle him like usual lor.
in conclusion, tiring BUT definitely worth it. esp when i c boys playing tgt now n each of them bringing me unlimited amt of joy, sorrow n pain everyday.
pai seh, very lor soh

Hi cocomo,
The last time I told you Megan did not poo for 5 days, I gave her barley water (no sugar), plain water regularly and she finally pooed on the 6th day! very worrying I understand! a friend of mine also recommended prune juice but baby type which you can get from gerber brand or mashed bananas..
Last week when I went to see the PD, I ask for suppository in case she dun poo again then can stick it into the anus and makes it easier for baby to poo. You can ask for that from your PD.
hi mummies,
I took quite a number of pics during the trial too but have not downloaded to the pc so have not post. Will post some soon... The trial was fun huh? we should go for more... the next would be the aquaducks trial this sat. Will post the details later...
Hi Kelly,
Ed sure is very fast!!! My Megan is still trying to creep or crawl still although she loves to stand with someone holding her instead of sitting...
When you were trying for no.2, was it difficult to trace when your ovulation is coming based on discharge?
