shihui,
My hub veri lazy leh. He oni loves to play wif Jav but dun like to look after him. Unless mi or my mil not around. During weekend when my mil goes home, he rather i keep an eye on Jav than spending time on cooking. Sigh.. I always told him he is too independent on his mum.

Wishing all a Joyous 2008!

My girl also nap less nowadays. Some days only 1 nap in the evening and it is usually about 30 minutes only. She will fight her sleep most of the times.

As for tantrums. Sama Sama here. As long as she doesn't get her way, she will whine & fuss as well. We always try to distract her with other things but doesn't work all the time. Sometimes I just leave her on the playmat to whine & fuss. Will stay nearby to watch her to ensure she doesn't hurt herself lor.

With regards to feeding, she still prefer soft food. If the veg or minced meat need a little of chewing, after finishing 1/3, she will gag out. I think she doesn't really like minced beef, cos she doesn't finish the whole portion most times.

Any idea if can we prepare, freeze and heat up meat or fish? I reach home already 7+pm, not in time to prepare porridge for dinner leh.

Fizz
Ya I do give tofu but he doesn't take v much of it. Now I will be grinding ikan bilis powder to put in his porridge for calcium. My boy getting more n more choosy re food. My boy also prefers petite miam altho he only takes certain flavours. Appeton v strong smelling...he can smell it from miles away

Nowadays I mainly feed E porridge so haven't tried putting cheese in mashed potato. But since he is on milk strike I feed him some scrambled eggs made with milk every morning. Maybe will add some cheese in it. Sian....

Oh...u tried MyGym at GWC. I m going to arrange a trial for E there soon when he is better. Is it good? U think u might join the class? If so let me know then we can try to make the same class

Roo
Re scallops, I soak the scallop in water overnight in the fridge. Next morning just pour everything in to slow cooker n cook with the raw rice, veg etc.

Re Tantrums
Yes...my boy also likes to throw tantrums nowadays...scream n cry and at the same time kick n rub his legs or bounce up n down violently when he is upright. But I never give in too him. Whenever my mum looks after him, she will often give in to him n he becomes worse. But after sometime alone with me he becomes more guai again

Normally I will tell him he can't have his way and why he can't do whatever it is he wants to do. Then I will distract him with something else like his favourite book or activity. So his tantrums dun last past 1-2 minutes. Then I try not to say no too often...instead I tell him what I want him to do eg. come away from the socket or put down something (i.e. use a more positive way of talking to them). But distraction certainly works for me.

Mummies
I intend to sell some of E's things like his bumbo chair n FP 3 in 1 rocker swing n eventually his cot. Practically new cos he never liked them. Anyone interested?

 

[bloom75]

Lil, just checked the health booklet, the molars are supposed to come out bet 12-14 months... i also have no idea why teething will reject milk but thats what kate did... not sure if it happens to most bbs another bb that only take 1/2 bowl of porridge! You mean can cook porridge then let it cool and warm up again ? i thot it will introduce 'wind'? most of the time my one solid meal will be instant cereal

serene, wahh..so good that javier will eat whatever u cook... ehhehe.. he is so strong to be able to do pullups! u guys start 'training' him or he just one day grab and bars and do it?

mbb, i c.. i guess thats the western way of dealing with chix pox..what abt u? is there any scars? hehehe..seems tat all of u let the porridge cool and reheat again is meg puking out the food cos she is uncomfy with the pox? good that she can sleep at 2030 each night...

afcai, i had been giving kate egg white and cheese liao... i live in hdb so of course its not total darkness though the lights are off ..there are lights from the streets, the next block, etc..

hi roo!

hi Qian Hui!

how's ace?

shihui, hahaha.. i dont dare to have a budget cos i always overspend every month... there was one month where everymonth i will get one item that cost > $100 for kate (playyard, bumper mat, etc)... wont the porridge becomes watery if we leave it cold for a few hours? cos thats what happen yesterday when kate din finish her porridge that i warmed up, few hours later it was watery.... good that ur hb is willing to take care of ph while u cook..somtimes my hb just conc on his tv/pc... the kiri cheese not as saltish as the usual kraft leh..

serene, mbb, what kind of educational vcd did u all get for the kids?

fizz..wahh.3 naps a day! good that cae dont dare to come into the kitchen..kate does..and the toilet too! drives me crazy ... 3 solid meals a day..wow! thermos pressure cooker..sighh..another thing that i had to get for kate??/ arghh!!! i already have a food container (for keeping warm) and a thermal pot but it does not seem to do the job... i think someone mention before to soak the tofu in fresh water and change it every 2 days... kate is showing signs of being spoilt too... i suspect its time for some discipline action... but i hate to do it ..cos once i start, hb will think he had free rein to be nasty! now sometimes he will threaten to slap her if she makes too much noise!

kimi, what can only be prepared with the grinder?

mommies, today brought kate for her neo nat checkup ..that doctor really know how to scare pp... she miscaluclated kate's age as 15months then said her wgt gain is not enuf need to refer her to other specialist... need me to teach her 2 times how to calculate her age correctly. then when hb ask her wht food bb canot eat, she said can eat everything, i told her he tried to feed her almond jelly, she said its ok cos its just SUGAR! then said need her to come back in 6 months time for review cos she is not talking now and she will need to refer her to specialist if she is still not speaking then cos she is afraid that she will have developmental delay! gosh! this doc!

 

[starluster]

hello mummies,
Happy 2008 to all of u!

Today back to work, after a long plant shutdown. Actually thot plant shutdown got a lot of free time to do what i want (spring clean, shopping, do her photobook etc).. but then taking care of sophia takes up most of the time!! Think even busier than working. At work sometimes still can browse some of your bb's blogs. Think havent seen the blogs nearly a month oredi.

Esp some of the days when she gets soo clingy that she wants me to carry her while she zzz. Think coz she was scared I will disappear.. coz when we were back in Muar, there were many ppl at home, then when we came back to Sg, there's only me during the day n a few hours w daddy at nite. Quite poor thing actually.

But having spend so much time with her.. I finally managed to up her milk intake to 150ml (sometimes) or to at least guai guai finish up the usual 120ml. Coz for the past 1 year, she couldnt even finish 120ml. But hor, maybe coz she prefers her milk now as am in the midst of converting to Gain IQ. hee hee.. not just becoz I insist on her drinking more.

Oso managed to get her to nap twice a day (abt 1 hour each). For the past 1 month+ or so, she was surviving on 1 hour nap a day or sometimes no naps even.

Tantrums wise, like lil... I will not give in to her, unlike my mum or dad, and instead try to distract her with sometime else or do some actions with her (kissing her belly/dancing etc). Personally I think she is better behaved now.

But not to say all is better with me la.. somehow i didnt keep close watch on her and she fell.. got her first baluku on her forehead.

feel guilty but been telling myself no fall no grow (hokkien saying)

fizz,
i oso switch on her fav DVD while having her meals. she will fuss less... but I think she's getting bored of watching the same two DVD. she's been watching it everyday for a few months liao.

shihui,
cannot just give corn to bb ah?? i didnt know lei. i have been giving my gal corn on cob lei. she lurveee it. it's her top #1 food. why need to peel off one by one ah?

mbb,
wahh... meg so young got chicken pox. soo poor thing. luckily got medication for itch... else how to tahan like that?

diana,
think not advisable to cook n freeze meat lei.

was lookin forward to starting mygym this weekend, but my mum's eyes got onset of glaucoma, so need to bring her for laser treatment the next two weekends.. so need to postpone the start date. sigh... kinda sad that various old age problems starting to kick in liao... they used to be so healthy. last year my dad got stones in his kidney, then currently still having prostate problem.. my mum got stones lodged in her bladder, then now glaucoma.. and not forgetting the usual rheumatism & aches. haiz. hopefully their health are better in 2008.

sylk,
talking about eyes... how are your eyes now?? fully recover liao?

lil,
the FP 3 in 1 rocker swing is those automatic rocker issit? suitable for bb to sleep in? wanna ask my sil whether she interested anot. their bb needs to be carried and rocked while sleeping! really jialat.

[kimi]

bloom,
hahahaha... tt's y i dun go bk 2 KKH. they're so full o crap. they dun care bt e welfare o our bbs one lah. just chk up 4 e sake o doing it. total waste o time n money. even e pte PDs, many r full o crap. sigh... make me lose all my trust n respect 4 e medical profession. internet n books r my best fren. they help me wayyyyyyyyyy more than doctors.

re grinder. like when i wanna make beef/pork sandwich. i can just cut e meat into thin slices, steam den grind. i dun haft mince e raw meat myself. anyway, even if i mince myself, they'll all stick 2gether in e process o cooking, not fine enof 4 mandy to eat.

[isishui]

Fizz,
ohh.. icic.. heee.. me kiasi mah.. shall introduce cheese to him soon..

kimi,
hehee.. i know lah.. but hor, everytime i juz buy abit abit abit of "cheap cheap" things tt cost below $20,, in the end hor, 1 mth can add up to few hundreds!!! faintz...

serene,
hubby quite okie with looking aft PH.. coz usually he let him roam ard freely.. but as long as PH dun get into any trouble, i'm quite okie with it...

ohh.. kiri cheese ah.. maybe can intro him soon.. .

fizz,
PH oso throw tantrum.. same same lor.. kick n jump n arch his back.. watever u name it.. usually when he lidat, i will leave him alone.. let him sit by himself.. i bochap one.. but hor, others not as heartless as me.. my parents, hubby and in laws usually more lenient than me..

bloom,
hehe.. i used to spend without budget too.. coz i dun spend much.. but now, i'm splurging on PH's things... there's always excuses for wat i want to get for him.. heee.. he got too many storybooks and toys liao.. .

i bought the *your baby can read" vcd series.. not bad.. hubby told me tt today PH look at the word baby and say it out.. n he clap when he sees the word "clap"... seems rather gd..

wah... ur pd very bochap hor... almond jelly?? so sweet.. in future kate develop sweet tooth how?? dun be like me.. mouthful of decayed teeth..

 

[bloom75]

hwee, unfortunately, its the doc on duty for kkh neo natal. kate 'had to' go cos she's premmie.

kimi, i had to agree that the docs there are so crappy. but u know my hb lah, a word from the doc is better than all the info i have... the moment the stupid doc said sugar can, after that when we had lunch at the kkh clinic , he bought dessert for kate to eat... i c..so the grinder is for the sandwich and the peas..for peas i am using the big grinder..ahahah... trying not to spend money on another gadget that will only last kate for a few months

mommies, have anyone of u look at the stupid health booklet 'test' for 15 month old? geezz.our bbs are supposed to know things like nose/mouth, stack up blocks etc? this is ridiculous..this is not testing if our kids got prob/not its to make the parents train their kids on some monkey acts! i am so fume with the 'medical profession' today!

and any nice kids dvds to recommend? maybe i should pretend to be nice mommy get some and keep playing so that hb will stop watching every single old and new tcs shows on tv.... but mine is a old dvd player..sighhhh...

 

[afcai]

roo13
hmm..laughing cow cheese....ok, thks, will see if nTUC got sell or not.


LiL
oh, even cheese spread on the bread, he also dun like. will E eat plain bread then?
oh,, tofu so plain one...maybe u mixed the mashed tofu with E's porriage loh since it is so mashed, he might not realise it.

my mum just boiled ikan bilis water and then use it to cook tx 's porriage.

Qianhui
wave...nice to 'c' u here.

shihui
oic, my mum also dun like the idea of frozen prep food one, she prepare to cook daily. have u stop yr 'moo moo' career??

Fizz
haa...all along is my Part time 'career' mah comparing prices for groceries now with additional of bb stuff liao and then hubby and I will go and grab the cheapest one. we very budget type.

ai-yo...me also, till now still got the phobia of labour when thinking bck. so that time, bp is so high and have to bed ridden for 2 days cos whenever I get up, I will felt the world moving man....I also wish to have a boy for my no 2. now, I know why my frenz mentioned that preggies time is a joyful moment cos no one other than mum themself can felt the bb kicks etc... but I also scared the miserable + horrible confinement period too. can't stand cannot bathing for days.... bfg thing, haa..me not so concern, i do enjoy it, maybe I also addicted liao. hubby said, it is easy to have a gar than boy loh cos boy needed strong "y" factor but "x' factor will be much stronger than it.

err...nite time, cae still got nap one meh?? gd wor, cae know how to walk, today, tx is standing up but we encourge her to take some steps but then she just squat and then crawl twds me. she kept on saying she scared scared by placing her hand on her chest.

eerr..tofu, my mum will clear all the tofu in a day and place it in her meals or my soup. but recently, bec I told her not to cook my share, I saw her place the remaining tofu in the container. I also saw a lot of water. sure will have water one cos maybe bec of the condense. think ok to keep it for 2 days lah. if for me during weekend, the leftover tofu, I will consume it myself loh together with tx's porriage during my brunch.

oic, then I will give tx egg white liao cos I dunno whether to give or not to give. hmm how come see mummies visit pd now and then? the only time, I took tx to polyclinic is during her checkup for jaurnice, 6 in 1 jab and her assessment only.

recently, tx has a very bad nappy rash till her p area swollen for 2 wks. my mum went to buy the calamint solution for bb at the medical hall and apply on her affected area. this week (the third wk), her p area slightly ok liao, skin peeled off liao.

with regard to Petite Miam, how does it taste like? sweet? I remember my mum also gave it to me when I was young last time. I already forgotten abt the taste liao.

mentioning abt toddler throwing tanturms, tx is not as jialat as cae. she only gek till face red red.sometimes, she is very pek chek when she dun get what she want, angry and scream but later ignore u liao.but she veri easy 'tricked' by just diverting her attention then she will forgot liao. maybe u tried that when yr boy throw tantrum. kids like to throw tantrum to attract attention and test the 'water' if we ignore them, they might not do that again cos no one attended to them mah. i remember the sotry told by the trainer when I attended a course. he told that his nieces like to throw tantrums. one day, someone bought a box of dounuts. the gar wanted to eat before her dinner and granny dun allow her. so that gar started her tantrum by kicking, scream and rolling on the floor. the granny then carried her to a rm, asked her to think and face the wall and when she stopped crying then can come out of the rm. then she closed the door. she repeated the same actions 5 times. she also mentioned to the gar that if she dun stop crying before dinner time, she won;t have the dounuts liao. so in the end, the gar got her dounut liao and fr then she dun throw the tantrum. so miracle wor...

another frenz of mine, her 1.5 yr son also like to throw tantrums. my frenz will carry the boy to the corner and then ask him to face the wall and think thru. when the boy stopped crying then she reason out with him.

when my mum then told me tx pattern is like me last time.


serene
do u give warm fresh milk to jav?


bloom
wow, yr hubby so fierce, threaten to slap. my hubby do smack tx' cheek when she blew bubbles and make the 'boo boo' sound. the more hubby told her not to do that, the more she did on purposely. then tx will ignore hubby liao, angry with him.

wow, the doc qiao siao huh...or are u sure she is a doc or just graduated fr doc course only? anything also can one....where got so fast talking liao...then did u say anything to the doc??


hwee
eye infection wor....see what hor, got eye infection...keekkee just kidding. so better now?? infection no joke will pass to someone one...so cannot go near yr kid liao??


Jen
u can upload the photos into flick website loh. when u open the photos, what program do u use to open automatically? for me, when I opened the photos, the photos used the microsoft photo editor to open and fr there I can resize it.

 

[momtb]

Afcai
Hah...wah your hb smack tx cheek just bcos she blew bubbles n make boo boo sound ahh. My boy does that too but we just tell him "eeee, dirty, speak properly ok". Then ignore him. Shortwhile later he stops liao. If we pay it more attention he will keep doing it. Kids at this stage are like that. Dun pay what they do more attention than neccessary.

Bloom
Hahaha...I like to make my boy perform monkey show

I purposely teach him to stick his toungue out when pple ask him where's his toungue and to press other pple's nose when we ask him where's his nose

Cute mah.

 

[fizz]

Hi Mummies

Thx for yr feedbac on our tods' tantrums...now I noe tat Cae is not bein extraordinarily bratty...I guess they r on route to their "terrible 2" stage oredi...

Kimi...

Cae n Mandy can shake hands sleepin together liao...oops...dun tink crooked okie...

...hmmm...Cae sleeps abt 1.5hrs in the mornin...2hrs in the afternoon...1hr at night...9hrs thru the nite...so in total abt 13.5hrs...

Diana...

Long time no c...actually...u can try to chop all the veg...n thaw the frozen meat in the refrigerator compartment...the nite b4...jus dump the rice n all the ingredients into a slow cooker at low heat in the morng...so tat it wil be done when u reach home at nite...is tat feasible...

Lil...

I tried preparing ikan bilis powder twice b4...but my mil kept naggin tat my ikan bilis may turn "chow sng" durin my dryin process...so I jus boil ikan bilis soup to cook wif his brown rice powder or pasta now...Im usin the silver fish...I add a beaten egg into his brown rice powder or pasta too...

I tried My Gym at GWC...in terms of environment n space...it is the best so far...as it has a very very high ceilin...n the equipmt r quite new...but in terms of course structure...I dun gif it much pts...the tods spent abt 30mins outta 45mins hvg "free play" wif backgrd music...after the initial 15min warmup...they oso dun really intro gymnastic exercises like The Little Gym...or team work activities like Gymboree...I wil b goin for the Tumble Tots trial tis sun...

Bloom...

Wah...yr hb so violent ah...try not to let men beat our lil tods...cos men may not b aware of the amt of strength which they can actually muster in a slap or smack...my hb oni beat Cae's palm or flick his cheeks so far...

I tink yr pd has phd...perm head damage...dun even noe how to cal Kate's age correctly as a pd...since Kate is oredi 1yo...u may consider switchin her to a pte pd...most pds come fm kkh anyway...

Cae is not talkin in sentences now...he oni noe a few words like car, "mum mum"-food, ma ma & ba ba (without knowin wat it means)...

Starluster...

Cae oni likes 3 vcds outta the so many which I bot for him...Mother Goose n Sesame St...so hez watchin them over n over again...

SH...

PH is so clever...can recognise words...

Afcai...

U can try Destini nappy rash fm TMC pharma...itz the best so far...my pd recommended me to use tat brand specifically...

Wah...last time got petite miam ah...it tastes a bit sweet lah...but Im ok wif it...I dun mind Cae hvg a bit of sweet stuff wif nutritious stuff such as milk or yoghurt...but not tidbits like sweets or choc...

Hi Mummies...

Polo Ralph Lauren is hvg sale at their webbie...bit I dunno how to bring it into Sin...as they deliver oni to USA addy...can anyone advise me how to do it...Im tinkin of gettin some polos for Cae...

 

[hweehwee]

bloom , like lil, i also make my boy perform monkey acts lor. i will say 'oh my gosh' and he will put his hand on his head! haha! but cute la. dun worry too much about those items in the health book, they're just a guideline.

kimi, you're so lucky that mandy sleeps so much! i wish mine does.....

afcai, now ok liao. heng ah didn't pass to the kids. only pass from my right eye to my left eye, so i got mc for almost a week. plus the holidays, i only got back to work yesterday. hee hee..... bad nappy rash? how come? go to pharmacy and buy this potasium permagranate (something like this la) and mix with water to wash tx's p area. it will keep it clean and clear the rash within 2 to 3 days.

 

[hweehwee]

fizz, sign up for an account wif vpost or comgateway and use their concierge service. i tried to ship in the last time but it was peak thus my order was dropped! anyhow, can try now since its not so peak....they got sale again?

 

[momtb]

Mummies
I have a 900g unopened and a 400g opened (but only used a few scoops) tin of Gain IQ to let go at v low price. Anyone interested?

Fizz
At least Cae is saying some words. My boy absolutely refuses to learn to talk. Everytime we try to teach him, he will look away and feign interest in other things. So he is still going eh eh eh nia

Maybe he still gets the message across so there is no incentive for him to learn bah

Oh...I will fry the ikan bilis in some olive oil after washing off the salt, then grind. That's what I did last time when E was on milk strike. Else just use the water without the bones dunno got calcium or not?

Oh...GWC not so good...too bad cos v convenient for me. Even got shuttle bus frm my place

Hwee
Ya v cute right. Stay at home the whole day for my boy wor so of cos it's only fair for him to entertain me with some monkey acts sometimes

 

[fizz]

Hwee...

I hv an account wif vpost...but I dun really understand the entire process...I oni noe the vpost usa addy tat I can instruct the retailer to send...

Yah...prl is hvg sale now...

Lil...

I wil wash the ikan bilis n drain the water for abt 1 hr b4 bakin it in the oven...

No harm tryin GWC...mabbe yr feedbac may b different fm mine leh...I rem I wen for the sun morng class...

 

[hweehwee]

fizz,i just went into the webby but no local free shipping lei. sigh! ya, there's a local addy that prl can send to then vpost will take over from there and send to you. you need to use their concierge service cos prl won't take credit cards outside usa also. so need to pay some 5% extra.

lil, you're equally cute too! hee...

 

[zion_goh]

hope tx won't get infected by me.anyway, do take care.

LiL
pls pm me for more details on the gain iq. i'm interested.

yup, then I will highlight to hubby not to smack her cos her cheek red red liao. anyway, hubby has not done it then. just scold her and tx just ignore him.

 

[hweehwee]

afcai, on mc where got shiok...sigh! so afraid i will pass to the kids some more. my ger gets nappy rash more often than my boy. think its individual. my ger can only use pampers premium at that time. sigh! expensie backside. usually calamine lotion is to dry up the heat rash on neck and joint areas, thus you see tx peeling. the potasium i ask you to get is an antiseptic solution. anyhow, glad to know she's getting better. its really painful.

 

[doggiebb]

afcai

pls don't put the blue lotion at tx's diaper area. Just get yourself DESITIN if you insist on not bringing her to the doc. that shld help with the redness and swell.

hi Bloom, hi Afcai,

Ace ah, ok lor, still unable to call anyone properly I guess.. we dunno if he is really calling or by luck it sounds like he is calling..

Can walk lah, but will topple if he goes a little bit to fast.

He got his last drop of freshmilk on 25th Dec, so now total on frozen milk liao.

Til now, he don't eat much either, not proper food like what most of you actually prepare for your children. He don't take porridge at all, will only want bisuit, pao or rice.. but eats a little bit only.

 

[fizz]

Hwee...

Wah...so much extra to add up...I muz do some caln to see if itz worth it...

Bobianah...

I oso wanna join spree leh...but no prl spree at the moment...

Which JG premise did u go...issit gd...I called Evans to enquire abt their trial...but they wil oni start takin bookin for it after the 3rd wk of jan...I wil prob put Cae on waitin list for playnest n playclub...scully by the time he gets a place...itz 6 mths down the rd liao...for playnest...I wil get my dad or mil to taxi him there lor...

hi fizz,
does prl take overseas credit cards? if they do hor, u just use ur credit card to buy, then send to ur vpost addr. if prl dun take overseas credit cards, u use vpost concierge services to buy. there's a surcharge to it though.

qianhui,
u stopped mooing liao har? how how? any good news?

ace is very good liao. madeleine still cannot do anything. dun walk, dun talk, but can throw tantrums quite well.

afcai,
i was reading ur blog. it's not normal to hv rash that continues for 3 wks. it's best to get a doctor to check out tx's nappy rash n to confirm it's not, say, a fungal infection n there's no UTI.

 

[hweehwee]

fizz, even if you join spree they also split all the costs. and some more they peg the exchange rate. i joined a spree end up the shipping charges more expensive than the item. sigh! prl will have sale on and off then when they have further discounts and free local shipping, someone will definitely organise the spree. i'll keep a lookout also. i wanna get some polos too.

 

[fizz]

Och...

Thx for the info...

Every tod progress at their own pace...jus enjoy them as they r...

Yest...Cae woke up cryin fm a nite mare mare...my hb carried him to our bed to sleep...I was lookin at him...I jus found myself admirin his peaceful sleep n toufu skin...I found him so beautiful then...I guess Im startin to appreciate n enjoy him...after 1 yr of adjustmt...

Hwee...

Really ah...okok...muz tell me okie...

 

[fizz]

Hwee...

There is a spree for prl adult polo now...but Im not sure who is the supplier tho...it may not b directly fm prl webbie...

For me...I wanna bb polos...

i went to JG at Forum. The waitlist for playgroup on Saturday is indeed 6mths...and playgrp is for 18mths and up, so just nice. I KS hor? For playgroup either evans or forum fine wif me. The playnest is fun but i dun think i can make myy MIL take hannah there once a week!

haiz, hope both of us recover soon. seems like a lot of ppl hv cough.

btw, that prl link is a BP. not spree. a lot of times BP things not authentic one. Not like Spree where u buy direct from the online store. i only buy from BPs when authenticity of the pdt is not a concern.

 

[fizz]

Bobianah...

No lah...not KS...jus wanna the best for yr Hannah...

...Forum is more convenient...but I heard tat the outdoor space at Evans is gd...I oso wanna place Cae there...btw...Playnest is twice or thrice a wk leh...not once a wk...I wen to GUG to scout ard...I found it so crowded...I feel suffocated...

U r rite...we hv to b careful abt the authenticity...tatz y I tot of buyin it directly myself lor...

 

[hweehwee]

fizz, agree with bobianah that many a times bp items are non authentic. i won't buy such items. if prl is on sale, i'll go and order direct on my own. i'll ask you wat you want then can order together.

 

[fizz]

Hwee...

okok..xie xie...

 

[hweehwee]

fizz, bu ke qi!

 

[Mbb2]

hwee

yup, think it is painful + itchy loh.


doggiebb
thks. hmm what blue lotion?? my mum place the calamine lotion for bb at her p area loh. she told me it is ok now. will check on tx when I brought her bck tml. hmm yup, it seems everyone is buying this nappy rash brand - DESITIN. anything special on this brand?? tx is using the pureen nappy cream since birth till now (she can't finish bec my mum dun use it and she prefer to place powder) and it is ok for her.my sil is using Draop....which can be bought fr NTUC for $4.x5, she told me this brand also gd. scratch head so many nappy rash, dunno which one to use.....

Qianhui
hmm..thks for the update of Ace. so u does it mean u graduated fr the 'moo moo' career liao?? last drop of freshmilk on 25th Dec, that's yr xmas present for Ace??
huh, dun take porriage? want biscuit, not gd wor....then did u/yr caregiver try to have the same timing meal with him so that when he saw u eat, he will eat? hmm if he dun eat much solid food, do he drink more milk then? if not, then is it still chubby or ???


fizz
hmm...another member - welcome to coughing club. I am coughing since new yr eve. yup, I saw ppls selling at the forum and one mummies has ordered fr BP some more. the DESITIN cost $9.50 loh.


Och
thks for reading the blog and appreciate yr concerns. yr words really scare me wor, I did not think so much till fungal infection wor....thks god now tx is ok liao (that's what my mum said. will check on her when I brought her bck tonite). will take note of the nappy rash in future if any (this is her first time with the worst nappy rash, I think it is maybe be the rubbing of her p area with the walker she sat on at my mum'plc )

 

[zion_goh]

afcai,
it depends on individual bb wan lah... ethan has been using this brand (i forgot wat brand liao) since birth... pink tube with pink cream... still ok... not very effective lor... then i tot of buying another tube put my hse (the pink one put mil hse), i bot the pureen brand wan... very effective lor... any redness or rash disappear after 1 or 2 application... so it really depends on individual bbs...

dear all,
thanks for all ur well wishing... ethan has recovered...

it seems dat the doc we went to is not very competent... told us he had prescribed a stronger fever med, made us so scared of overdosing... supposedly have to feed ethan the med very 6 hrs... 1 whole day past liao temp still up and down... med oso finishing soon... by night really very high liao mil so fed up she feed ethan 4hrs after the last feed... immediately temp drop... after 1 more dose and no more fever liao... appetite improve n looks more active... now can concentrate working liao... hee...

 

[bloom75]

afcai, u got pre-eclampsia too?

Lil, hwee, we teach for fun is one thing loh..but its as if if my gal duno what is nose she is considered as developmental delay. yesterday got into a not-happy conversation with a yaya colleague bcos she said its 'natural' to start teaching the kids abt nose, mouth etc and ask me what am i doing? $)(#)$#($_#

fizz, actually a few of us do prepare our own ikan bilis powder..not rocket science lah... i let my mom dry it cos my side no sun ... i also try to stop him from hitting kate cos i find that his requisite for hitting is very low... the checkup at kkh is part of the her neo nat...

seems tat alot of pp down with cold.i think my turn soon ... kena from colleague ....

QH, heheeh means ace called mama papa sometiems?

och, madeleine had came a long way.. give her abit more time and she will progress fast...

bobianah, wah... waitlist is 6 months!!! no joke! agreed that sometimes BP is not authentic though supposedly moderator is clamping down on that.

hwee, let me know if u catch PRL sale too..my sis is a fan...

zion, hahah was that a GP? sounds like what happen to kate previously... in the end went PD and PD ask us to use same med from GP but 4 hourly plus anti viral then fever come down..

mommies, thinking of switching kate to sleep on mattress on floor cos bb cot getting abit small..but not looking forward to her waking up in the middle of the night and then roaming around and climbing sofa/rocking fan stand..sighhh..any tips?

 

[kimi]

morning ladies,

here's an announcement. tink some o u noe already lah. i wanted to announce long ago but waiting for the others.

ya, i v bo liao i noe. anyway, the 'others' haf 'empowered' me to announce for them.

so me, doggiebb and bobianah are pregnant! n we've been whining to one another for a while now. (act me n doggiebb did most o e whining lah. hehehe) act there's one more but i cldn't get her...

anyway, my edd is 4th aug, doggie's is 28th july and bobianah's is ... is... when har??? somewhere in mid aug lah..

altho i'n pretty sure mine wld b e 1st again.. sigh... cos doc said there's 35-40% chance o premature labour again. but we'll try to stop it lah...

yes, we'll all puking and burping and feeling all kindsa discomforts...

so now u noe, we can carry over our whining to e FORUM!!!

 

[hweehwee]

mbb, will not leave you out la!

afcai, if the rash is still there, better bring tx to doc.

bloom, huh? me also didn't emphasize a lot on body parts etc. its ok la, will start now lor. hee hee..... just to let you know i put tim on a mattress and sleep on the floor since he was around 6 months old as the cot was too small. so far quite ok, he did wake up and crawl to my bed etc, but i quickly carry him back to his mattress and he continue to sleep. guess, first few night just sleep with kate and see how she is ba.

seems like prl very popular, ok once they have sale, will make announcement here.

 

[fizz]

Zion

Glad tat Ethan is well now...

Bloom

Cae is stil sleepin in a cot...I dun dare to move him to a mattress oso...cos firstly...he sleeps by himself in a rm...n Im worried tat he may wake up, climb or walk ard n knock himself...secondly...his rm has no space to put a mattress...

Hi Mummies...

I hv stopped bfg for 3 mths liao...but there is stil milk comin out if I squeeze my nipples...when wil it dry up totally...

 

[doggiebb]

afcai

desitin is fantastic for nappy rash. even if you go to the pd, he may prescribe desitin to you too.

blue lotion is potassium permanganate. and calamite lotion only eases itch, it does not help in any way with the nappy rash.

 

[momtb]

Kimi, Doggiebb and Bobianah
Congrats. That's good news and you gals are very brave to have another one so soon. Hope your pregnancies go smoothly
