feeding is for july.
 
Sharing my bad experience with breastfeeding mummies. If you missed an express or nursing time and develop a fever quick quick express. I didnt know and didnt do it kena high fever for the past 3 days. Panadol helps to bring down the fever but after 6 hrs fever came back again. It hit as high as 40.1 last night, no choice but to take the anti biotic. According to Doctor still can nurse.

I was exhausted last week so got hubby to do the night feed with bottle ebm. I didnt wake up to express. The next day I express in the morning (usually I dont) so didnt express during noon. 3pm kena fever 38. I didnt know it is due to block duct cos didnt feel like it leh. Thought not enuff sleep during the week so caught a chill. Took Panadol subside, was at ILs hse in the evening, didnt bring pump. Breast lumpy & hard but my ger not hungry (just finish 50ml of milk & cereal) so hand express some out. Reach home fever went up to 39+. Still gong gong dont know it is due to block duct. Didnt express just nurse and try to sleep. On Sunday noon, breast painful and onside hard, then only I suspect it is due to block duct. By then, massage & express nothing much came out already Hiaz, dont follow my silly foot step. CL said, fever is the first sign of blocked duct. Just have a painful session with her yesterday.. Now ss dip badly, have to use frozen ebm, hope it will build up again lah.

Mummies, who introduce more than one type of semi-solid food. Care to share how you do it? Do you stop the cereal and let bb try the new semi-solid for the next few days? Or Cereal follow by the new semi-solid? Does your bb lose interest in drinking milk? Mine started to cut down milk intake this week. Actually just nice that now I got blocked ducts...
 
hwee..ahahha..ok i see... so tim is late for his jab..for me the nurse told me to bring kate for jab then i bring loh :p

afcai..wah... tx had been drinking fish soup ah..good leh..got vitamins plus calcium for strong bones! diff weighing machine will give diffrent result so dont worry.... ayah..the heinz fair is weekend.. i thot if weekday i go and get..weekend bring kate and storller so mah fun...

diana..sounds serious..luckily still can nurse... now u latch on more often..the blocked ducts will clear soon...
 
wah.. alot of posts to catch up.. :p forgot who write wat again.. :p

afcai,
i got the same phobia as u.. when plane take off n land, i will grab the seat tight tight... if there's tubulence, i will be so scare tt i keep hoping nothing will happen.. :p den if i'm at window seat, i will look at the wing n hope it's not on fire.. :p i think i watch too much discovery channel's air crash investigation liao.. heeee~ :p

Diana,
scary... how r u now?? next time muz be careful not to super engorged urself again...

Hi everyone!
Been away for only a few days and already having a hard time catching up with the forum postings. Now, finally, I am done. Whew!

Hwee,
Welcome! Have added you to msn, but my interface is very bad, always unknowingly kenna kicked out of group chats.... sigh.


And here's a pic of Regina in Munich. The building in the background is Nymphenburg Palace.

And the real reason why we made the long drive to Germany last weekend - Castle Neuschwanstein! Unfortunately, the little princess was asleep.... Anyway, if you find the castle familiar, it's because this is the original fairy tale castle that Disney modelled after for their Sleeping Beauty castle.

hwee,
I don't feel that the staff got attitude leh. I only felt that the parents have tat attitude, cos when I was pregnant and waited for my gal outside the room, nobody offer me a seat.

QSG,
I dunno need to pay or not leh, I think no need. U can call and check it up lor.

Jen,
not 3 mins thing lah, cos she really not interested in ballet. Currently she's in Art class and have been very diligent attending every lesson. She won't allow herself to miss out any class.
 
sylk! I've always wanted to visit Castle Neuschwanstein!!!
happy.gif

Envy you!
happy.gif

I love Europe cos if its history, buildings, palaces architecture, art, etc etc etc....
But, haiz, dun think will be going to europe again anytime soon...i'm just glad i made it to prague before being preggers. :p
 
Thanks Bloom & Shihui. I'm so much better now.

Sylk
Regina is so fortunate to tour Europe at such a young age. Her passport will be full of custom chop in no time!
 
Hi Jen,

Hi Shihui,
wow, so jialat, think so much man...wing catch fire...:p.. my hand then will turn cold then will glad hubby 's shirt and then closed eyes.


Hi Diana,
wow so scary, miss one pump can cause fever. for me, today, I have delayed 2hrs for my pumping session cos need to visit my col at her hse. so by then came back, already 1345pm and then pump at 1400pm. milk so miserable, tot delay or drag longer will have more milk(last time used to and even drip) but the amt pump out still the same.

for me, I also lack of slp ever since after delivery. now and then got eye pain, left side head pain all the way down to my nose and also recently got sore throat and also now have been coughing for 3 days liao. did not take any coughing or sore throat medicine cos dunno if medicine (those pink one) can take or not as I am still bf. so hopefully, will let it auto recovered. so dead tired. got to take nap first before pumping at 12 midnight.

glad to hear that u have recovered.


Hi Bloom,
I can help u to buy Heinz product loh then maybe u can get fr my mum's hse during wkdays(my mum live 1 bus stop away fr Ginza). see what product u wanted.

yeah, my mum gave her the steam fish soup (place it on those cup for praying one). now think she sian liao and change her appetite to potato. today, she gave her a few stain of brown rice and steam it. acc to my mum, she finished it all.
 
Ladies, i am running out of heinz rice cereal, think will finish by this weekend. Went to NTUC and Kiddy Palace at JP dun have, today went Giant IMM also dun have. Any idea where still have? Pls PM me and let me know in case once its posted here, by the time i go there gone already.Thanks.
 
Hi Mummies,

FYI, Nestle is giving away a $38 goodie bag that contains a NAN 3 follow-up formula (900g), hippo plush toy, powder dispenser and a set of 3 bibs tomorrow between 11am to 3pm at OUB Centre Walkway.
Mummies, in order to collect the goodie bag, you must remember to bring along your child's birth cert and any empty tin of formula.
(But I saw a lot of people working in that area just give the baby's birthcert no, never give any empty tin to the Nestle Staff to collect the $38 goodie bag)
NAN 3 is a follow up formula for baby fm 10mths to 3 years.
 
Diana,
Thanks for the advice on blocked ducts. My girl is starting on solids and her milk intake has dropped. I have been having engorgement but don't know when to express as she has been wanting to suckle at night. But breast still full after suckling.

Afcai,
Thanks on the info on portable fridge. I will be travelling by plane. Not sure if I want to check in a fridge.

Is anyone follwooign Ruth Yaron's method of introducing solid foods? Any comments?
 
Doggiebb,
Missed your message. Thanks on the tip. Did you have to throw away the milk since they have thawed?

I heard that Mt ALvernia sells some mobile freezer. Will check that out?
 
sylk,

Shihui,

Do u hv frds working ard shenton way? Maybe u can ask them to help u to get it if u want. I saw people working ard the area giving their frd's baby's bc no to claim the goodie bag too.
No harm trying cos they really want to give out in this promotion to let mummies try this new formula for the kids.

Hope this information helps!
 
QSG,
U want to buy Heniz cereal? i yday went Boon Lay shopping ctr to try a new brand of cereal Frisocreme. & i saw many packs of Heinz cereal. maybe that area hor.. all stay Msian workers lor. so no much babies afterall. so the stocks is always well replenished.

DIE LIAO.. last nite cos i latch her mah.. then latch until i slp lor. dunno she got slp anot then unlatch herself. maybe play with herself until she fell down the bed. omg.. cos i fed her lying to the side of the bed one. cos another breast was fed earlier so i supposed "dry up" liao. i reallu guilty. but after carrying her up somemore stuck in btwn my OSIM foot massage & bed leh. poor bb i hv to pull her out. guilty guilty.... I must must go Kiddy palace buy both then ABC mat to lay on the flr & also buy the frame to prevent her from falling again. else i called myself a SINNER. haha

Ouch Jen.... tho i not b'feeding, many a times a almost let bb slip while bottle feeding in the middle of the night too....so now i sit right in the middle of the bed. its ok, dun feel too guilty, just check if bb is alright most impt.

sylk - ur gal very pretty ler.. sure kena book liao.. i like ur photo frame, can i know how to do it??
 
Hwee,

Good Luck to you! Hope you will hv a fruitful trip cos the Nan 3(900g) is worth at least $25, i think ?

Keep me updated!

Btw, u oso work ard dat area?
 
mummies, thanks for the info on the cereal, hope won't be snatched up again by the time i go there.

Jen, boon lay shopping centre NTUC? not sure what is the name of supermarket there.
 
kimi,
no no.. my hubby dont read the forum. just ask me to post the pix and then ask me what are the comments. your hubby so good.. still can source n get those cheap bargains. mine bochap all these thing one.

sylk,
wah.. those places are very nice..

chelsea,
sounds like really good deal. but me no friends workin in town.

cashewnut,
welcome!

jen,
aiyoh.. poor selinna.. better buy the frame to prevent it from happening again.
 
dashed down and managed to get for connie and jac the NAN3 goodie bag. i think today they more ngeow. needed at least the photostated copy of the parent's IC or bb's BC.

but really quite worth it!

Heh! the advantages of being at the DARK SIDE wor! got dispatch woman go and collect free stuff for you! muahaha!
 
chelseadoggie, sigh! didn't make it la... to cut long story short, i wen to pick my girl supposed to be at 1pm so thinking to go collect after that, but she was delayed till 2! had to rush back to office and could not go. i work in tg pagar and i always go to raffles place area during lunch. sigh! missed out liao.. anyway, my bb is not taking nan. was thinking of giving it to other mummies.....too bad lor! sigh!

hi cashewnut, welcome! my timmy is ok with everyone still. i think b'cos he can take everyone or maybe he has yet to develop stranger anxiety.....hee hee..... but if your bb do, nothing much you can help. its in their personality. : p hopefully by exposing him more will help lor. : )
 
Hi Bobianah!
At least you have started training Hannah to travel, and she seems to be taking it really well. Can gradually go further and further... heh heh. Castle Neuschwanstein is indeed very very beautiful, mainly because it was deliberately built as a romantic fairy tale castle in an incredibly beautiful setting. Unlike most other castles which were built mainly as fortresses. Yes, yes, you must make a trip there with Hannah!
happy.gif


Hi Diana,
Yup, we're taking lots of pictures so that next time we can tell the little girl she's been to these places before, so don't pester us to bring her there again! heehee. Anyway, Europe is now a big EU zone with no border checks or immigration points between the countries. The highways virtually run continuous from one country to the next, sometimes you don't even realise you have crossed borders until you notice the different road signs! :p

Hey Shihui,
Absolutely right - Sleeping Beauty. Hah hah hah.

Hi Cashewnut,
Welcome! I am using mac, and to make it easier to re-size pictures, I use a widget call Photo Drop. It is a very simplistic small program with very limited functions, but good thing is one of the options is the push-pin frame.
 
Hi Jen,
I bought fr IMM giant. u interested, I can sell u one of it cos got extra.

ai-yo, be careful loh, no gd for letting bb fell so many times. did selina cry?

Hi cashewnut,
welcome, welcome. same same, my gar has stranger phobia.cry whenever see unfamiliar face and envirnoment.

Hi QSG,
do stock up next mth(7-8 Jul) when Heinz booth is at IMM.there is another promotion gg on on 8/4 at IMM. Heinz is also setting up the booth that day cos tat day is the final result for kkh bf bb.also do wear red and white clothes on 8/4, if I dun remember wrongly, one can get freebies or win something.

Hi doggies,
hmm..with regard to the free nan3, can just go and grab it without producing any bb cert meh? hmm can get for so many ppls?
 
afcai

the girls faxed me their ICs and wrote the bb details on it. the pple at nestle just wanted at least one document, either the parent's IC or BB's BC, doesn't matter if its photostated!

En En
According to the LC, after each feed breast should feel a bit soft. Not soft = breast not empty of milk. If you hv bn getting engorgement, maybe good to express out after each or alt. feed lor, so that it doesn't get worst.

sylk
Ah so no custom chop chop unless through airport? Come to think of it, I didn't collect many custom chops when I was on 13 days Europe tour 5 years ago. I really missed Europe. Hope to be there again but it will not be any sooner. How long will you be staying there? How do you cope with looking after Regina on your own?

doggiebb
Nan goodie is ending today or will still be available tomorrow?

afcai
Thanks. Life really change so much after bb is born. The joy, fun, happiness together with insufficient sleep, rest and stress.... all in one package. Regardless still thank God for the bundle of joy

Connie
PM you on my interest on the ergo carrier liao

Jen
If you feel more comfortable nursing on the bed better get the frame to prevent her from falling. If not get a mat or mattress.
 
sylk - where can i buy the software or i can download from internet??

hwee & afcai - so far my boy dun cry when we brought him out n met stranger, instead, when they play wif him, he will laugh until like nobody biz.. only yest heard from mil that hubby's ah yi visit n try to carry him then he cry..
 
Jen,
Must be more careful, make sure Selina has no head injuries from her falls ok?

Diana,
I have been in Italy since July last year, but did return to Singapore to deliver Regina. Now expecting to make a home trip in August before going onto our next posting location. Haiz... how do I cope? Terribly, I should say. It's a do-or-die situation, so just bite the bullet and charge on! hah hah hah. *Nodding head* It's beem tough, especially with the cultural differences in caring for babies and fact that hardly anyone speaks english here. One bright spot though, is that Italians adore babies and kids... more so than any other european countries. So, very frequently, strangers will stop to 'talk' to Regina... heh heh.

Hi Cashewnut,
Can just download the software... Here's the link: http://www.dropping.at/
 
sylk,
ya, better travel within Europe as much as u can before next posting!
I can't remember, is Europe pram/wheelchair friendly? I never really took note of such things when i travelled in the past and really appreciated it that Oz is very pram/wheelchair friendly and have ramps all over...not like Singapore....
All I remember abt roads in Europe is lotsa cobblestones! hahaha!
happy.gif

That's why I was hesitant to go to Europe with baby...1stly, flight is longer, 2ndly different language, 3rdly not familiar with bb pdts there. These were non-issues without bb!
happy.gif
That's why we went to Oz, cos we know buying essentials like diapers, formula, wipes etc wld be easy and oso easy to find baby change areas etc...
But, soon, soon...will go Europe again! In fact, just after we returned from Prague I was planning to go Austria or Greece. Then, of cos, those plans were shelved temporarily...will revive them again in a couple years.
happy.gif


Anybody else going for aquaducks?
Mbb
I thot u organising one?

cashewnut
my bb lately when carried by strangers will cry after a while. Previously, she's fine no matter who carried her... stranger anxiety? sigh...
 
hwee
they hv diff timing for diff age. I think this saturday 3pm hv our age bbs. another one on sunday I think. But u better call to ask if they have vacancy on wat days.
actually I prefer mornings, cos 3pm is like bb nap time...but, bobianah! :p
I tried the saturday 9am one, but the kids there older...like almost 1 yr old...and can take instructions better. but if u dun mind, u can join that group. this saturday i going to try out the 3pm class.
 
hwee,
bb is alright as per last nite, pull her out from the in bwtn osim foot massage thing & my bed then she cry loud & after pat her awhile she ok again. opened her eyes & see the whole room again. These few days hv to monitor closely also lar if she developed vomit or fever.

sylk,
regina is very pretty & chubby. sama as mama. These few days hv to monitor closely also lar if she developed vomit or fever.

afcai,
if u dun realli nid then i am willingly to buy from u lor. she cry lous but after 1mins calm down liao then i bring her to another room to divert her attention then 10mins later bring her back to bed & latch her on to slp.

Jen
Aiyo...be careful leh. BB head very fragile still at this age. Why dun u block edge of bed with pillows for the moment while u look for suitable frames to block edges?

Connie
