Roseola:
http://www.askdrsears.com/html/8/t083600.asp
Actually it says, no urgency to see doctor for this illness.
So am I over-reacting?

Gene,
Roseola infantum is pretty common so don't worry about it. Since the rashes are gone, she's also passed the infectious stage and actually she recovered from that already. As first time parents, we surely more kan cheong one lah.
But all my Dr friends tell me, actually for babies fever below 40C, don't need to worry. Most importantly the baby is not listless. When Jesse had roseola, we didn't see dr, we just came back from a trip when he had the rash. I called my friend describe the symptoms and he diagnosed it over the phone. Told me, don't worry the worse is over.
How to make a baby drink water?
That's a very good question...when you have the answer let me know! Jesse plainly refuses to drink water...though he did like pedialyte when he was younger. Have you tried giving a little diluted juice or very dilute honey water (she's over 1, right?)? Spoon it to her? They say babies associate "drinks" from the cup/bottle they use...so I guess have to give it in a different cup/bottle. Jesse hates juice.
To test dehydration, you could look out for listlessness...can also press on her nail bed for 5 secs and see if it remains white or changes back to red quickly. If it takes >2secs to change back to red, should let dr know. But capillary refill is only a rough mtd of testing for dehydration lah...but better than nothing.
Hope she gets better soon!
Michele,
The last time I went to Gold Coast, I also just relax there.

gene: did u try giving cold water? sometimes my gal dun wan to drink water from her own bottle, but she will gian the cold water I am drinking from my cup. So I will offer her from my cup and she will take. You can be like Sandwich, pretend so yummy, dun wan to give to the baby, then baby insist for it. You can ask sandwich how to do the whole thing!
Baby Speech Survey: I waiting for the department to gimme more info, then I post up here ok?
Gene: Understandable lah ... tt time my gal had it, but we had no idea wat it was all about. Then her fever so high, so end up admitted to hospital and then all the drips and such ... then turn out to be the roseola - the best thing is, the doctor says, the baby can get it again and again, cuz got different strains! *peng ah*
Sandwich and Cherry: Tue is good. I took monday off and tue afternoon off. So I can meet u for lunch before I go off. Ashton's at PGP can? I gian for their beef
Gene: I want to go Japan =( I planning to go in late Oct, if possible early Nov.

Gene,
Thanks for the wishes. Raphael is on the way of recovery. No more fever and today will be the last day of his antibiotics. I'm quite lucky that when he's sick, still up about and moving around.
Regarding drink,
Let her try cup or use syringe?
Jesse,
What u use to be working as? U've so many information from ur Doc friends.

Hi all mummummummies! TGIF!!!
... ... the forum is indeed (shh) quiet today...
Wondering what animals the mums and babes are playing with now!
Water: Didn't know there are so many water-resistant babies here! Lele is one of them lor. We tried the "sandwich" method and used to work quite well but now not as well. When he was first able to drink from straw, he will happily gulp down water just to practice straw-using, but now not interested anymore le. We will just feed water thru spoon, or give soups(no seasonings) or other fluids(unsweetened) like barley water.
But I won't give sweetened water like diluted juices or honey etc to him to make him drink up cos I dun wan him to dev a sweet tooth for water

Hey mummies, I've got an idea leh. Dunno whether will work or not. We must incorporate water-drinking routine into our water-resistant babies' lives, ie, have fixed times ( example: after/before naps/bed and meals) to drink water.
It doesn't matter how much they drink, as long as we consistent offer water at routinely.
I figure that way the babies will recognised waterdrinking as part of their lives and slowly love the taste of it.
Will work or not huh?
I got the idea from Lele's hand washing and peepee habit. These are 2 activities that are very routine in Lele's life. He used to hate it when we wash his hands or make him pee. But now he is used to it le and will quietly let us wash his hands or pee for us even without the "shh shh" sound.

Mrs Lai : I don't mind participating in the survey. Hee...
Gene : Have you rented a caravan before?
Jesse : Glynnis likes water more than milk recently. Maybe due to the hot weather? I don't know. But she always choose water when i ask her if she wants milk or water. My friend always say must be my milk sour... So she don't like. Haa...

Dreamygal,SD: Thanks for your feedbacks! I will make water-drinking a routine for Lele from now on. Think it will goes like this: After wake from nap/sleep, before and after go downstairs for gaigai, after porridge meal/semi solid snacks. Before nap/sleep he will usually drink milk so I won't feed water ba. he will be too full anyway.

I did liaozz...bought a small tin of the Dumex immunofortis to let him try...he wan to puke on 1st sip....any brands that you recommend might taste good and to his liking? He's currently on NAN.
Kate
One or two sips of water after milk is actually good...can help to rinse the mouth & tougue...else all the sweetness of the milk stays in the mouth...can cause early tooth decay.
Min
I tried to look for it at the NTUC at tiong bahru...also dun have lei...hmmm...just to check, which section can it be found?

caicai,
so far Jon is happy with it. From wat i rem on the leaflet, it numbs the gums abit so that they don't feel so uncomfortable & at the same time, it soothes the gum. I let u know the contents when I get hm tonite. U can get it from neighbourhood medical hall ($5.50), guardian, unity. Guardian & unity is selling at $7.50!

mummies for ur reading pleasure:
According to brain research, the following characteristics are found in girls:
* The neural connectors in the temporal lobes are stronger. This means they usually have better listening skills and a more sensually detailed memory.
* Another memory storage area - the hippocampus - is larger in girls, leading to an advantage in the language arts.
* There is more serotonin in the bloodstream and the brain which makes them biochemically less impulsive.
* Girls generally use more areas of the brain for verbal and emotive functioning and boys for spatial and mechanical functioning.
Boys, on the other hand, display a different set of abilities:
** Due to the larger areas delicated to spatial and mechanical functioning, boys on average use only half the space that females use for verbal and emotive functioning. This is what leads boy to vrooming cars across the table and zooming airplanes over your head.
** The lower levels of serotonin and oxytocin (the chemical which promotes human bodning) lead them to be more physcially impulsive and less likely to be happy to just sit and chat, compared to girls.
** The male brain is structured for compartmentalised learning. This is why girls are often better able to multitask, with fewer attention span problems.
** The male brain is better suited for symbols, abstractions, diagrams, pictures and objects moving thru space. Boys learn by being physically active and can "switch off" if faced with too much verbal explanation.

Hi mummies,
I'm so happy I made it to the zoo. Jeremy enjoyed himself so much.. especially at the waterplay. But he got really cranky right after lunch, so left earlier. And he slept soundly in the car all the way home and continued to sleep at home-- totally exhausted!
Augleo- don't worry abt the change lah.. small change
Must go out more to these outdoor places instead of lunch/tea.. think our toddlers enjoy more.
Sandwich
Nice seeing you and K again.. think we need to talk more abt weaning off our babies
Ixora,
Hope you will cope well with hubby off to London.
Michele,
Wah, now maid-less.. must be very bo-eng.
Kiki's mum
nice to meet you and K for first time. Come and join us more often
Augleo
You seem to keep losing weight everytime I see you leh? better eat more, take care of yourself.
