hi kelly,
hi 5! I also did not buy any toys for zac
his best toy? Gor Gor Noah
btw, congrats to you big boss...gong xi fa cai in advance
Piyo,
Zac also experiences changes in his bowel pattern. His is worst, has not pooed since sat
mommies: re walkers
I still buy the idea to let babies dev at their own pace. when it's time to roll, roll; crawl, crawl; stand, stand. IMO, babies at 6th months should be on their fours, not twos. I do not wish to skip any stages of development; hence no walker...

Cocomo - I tink hor...using ur fingertips to massage ur breast frm outer to inner in a dwnward action will help. It did for me..i rember once i went for a shopping trip wif my frens in france w/o my baby..i put breast pads hoping it will help to curb the xtra flow for a day but alias..it did not, i tahan for 10hrs+ & the milk kip coming & when i was trying out clothes in the fitting room, milk was spurting all over..so painful. So i hv to express it all out in the fitting room..making all wet..paiseh..bt desperate man takes desperate measures lor.
Hi Mommies,
In regards to bb's pacifier use, herewith some interesting articles for your info. Hope it will benefiting you.
"Doctors now believe that babies should be given a pacifier at bedtime to reduce the risk of SIDS. Experts believe that the pacifier prevents the baby from sleeping too deeply - a problem with babies prone to SIDS. However, you should not reinsert your babys pacifier if it falls out during sleep, never coat the pacifier with any sweet substance, and dont force a pacifier on your baby if he or she refuses it."

Cecelia,
I find the article a lil strange.
Yes, the pacifier does prevent bb from sleeping too soundly. So perhaps not sleeping soundly can prevent SIDS. But eventually, pacifier will slip out when bb fall asleep soundly. Then won't they be susceptible to SIDS just as well? *muse*
Maybe my understanding is wrong?

hi kelly, u're like me, except that i place Louisa on a mattress instead of ABC mat, coz didn't even buy that lagi cheapo rite. hahaha. sometimes lazy to change toys for her, when she gets bored and refused to look at the toys then i change for her lah. also like you, i'm a 2nd time mummy, tend to buy the BEST and LOTS of stuffs for joshua (i was still working full-time then, so can afford), but now with Louisa, i realised some of the stuffs really no need to buy. so for her, just re-use whatever toys/stuffs Josh had last time, lucky it's all in good condition, some very new, coz too many toys for Josh last time! i feel bad sometimes coz she doesn't really hv a lot of 'new' things, but kids grow very fast one lah, nevermind, i'll definately buy a new doll for her later on, since her gor-gor doesn't hv dolls. hahaha
BTW, congrats on ur business ah!

Hey comomo,
I total bf my baby as well. Do hope by the time, you read the mail, your problem is resolved.
I understand what you are going through. I was in very bad shape last 2 months bec of the block ducts and lumps. I had to visit the lactation consultations x3 for that. Just to share with you, what I know and thought would work.
1) Feed baby directly and as frequently as you can from the problematic side. You may want to pump for the other side. My poor baby was so frightened of me at that time, bec I keep feeding him. But can't be help lor.
2) vary the feeding position. Depending on where the lump is,try to position your baby's chin opposite the lump. If the lump is on the top of the breast, football hold is a good one.
3) Keep on massaging. I massaged aslong as 5-6 hours at times. It helps to keep the lump smaller (I'm very scare I'll get mastitis), but may not make the lump go away completely. Tomoroow is Sat, hope you have the luxury to do that.
Take care of yourself, and keep trying

hi cat...ur ger is allergy to heinz rice cereal??? i started one teaspoon of heinz for my ger last week..then realised two red patch on her cheeks...dunno isit food allergy or contact allergy...then after tat..i stopped lor...pd said to give after 6mths...i am quite puzzled...cos if allergy to rice...then eat wat ah???
hi mommies!
haven't been posting for some time liao...
just an update of my gal...we finally done the skin prick test in NSC and it's been confirmed that the eczema on her face and body were due to an allergy to egg, means i have to abstained from all egg products since she's still on total breast milk...there goes my new year goodies
joko, saw that your bb's having pretty similar rash as well, the last time you consult prof giam she just said sensitive skin? she adviced me to go for the skin prick leh and met alot of babies there who are allergic to egg too, prof hugo who did the test said it's very common...
by the way, i just started on Avene product called Trixera which is a moisturiser for eczema skin, it works very well for Denise, felt that it's better than the doctor prescribed physiogel which i find too costly. you may want to try it
catherine,
try wiping your gal's face with a damp cloth after feeding cereal, it should help with the rash.

re. rice cereal, my pd told me to feed nestle, never mention heinz, maybe cuz he knew might cuz allergy?? i dunno and have bot a box before that... now heard so many cases of allergy so i think i will let aidan try nestle instead... dun wanna cuz his face red red again... sigh...

cat,
ic...yah then better wait till 6 mths when stomach more matured then try
joko,
i can understand...when i see Denise puts her fist into the mouth, can't help but keeps wiping away the saliva. whereas with mil, always have to remind her to wipe, dunno why she can stand it leh...
i'm also feeding nestle rice cereal, actually wanted to try heinz but i've received some samples of the former so just try. so far, she really likes eating from the spoon hahaha...
Trixera is Avene product, should be available in Guardian pharmacy, i got mine from hosp. pharm. No steroid that's why i use, doc prescribed one got steroid so worried will make her skin thin.

cocomo,
sometimes i get engorgement and tried all those methods you mentioned but also can't clear, then i realised it's actually the ducts opening on the tip of the nipple got blocked by the dried milk. what i usually do is to pinch with my finger like what we do to remove whiteheads on our face. i'll see where is my engorged ducts and target on the nipple closer to the painful area.
think i made it sounds confusing, hope you get what i mean...

hi fiona,
my son also diagnose by pd to have eczema. he constantly has rashes on his chin. b4 the 'old' rash fully recover, 'new' rash will come back again. he is on partial bf, fully on milk still.
can you pls advise me the following:
1. how the prick test is carried out?
2. do we know the result immediately or need to wait for some days?
3. how much does the test cost?
4. need to make appt with NSC or can just drop by any time?
sorry to trouble you with so many qns, but really heartpain to see his chin so red. he even use his hands to rub his chin when itchy and his chin will become super red.
consulted 2 PDs and 1 GP. the cream they gave that contain steriod is effective but it just doesn't cure it completely. according to the eczema bronchure, it says most babies will outgrow it, but i don want baby to apply the steroid cream long term leh, cos donno when then will outgrow.
