rc_cola,
yee heng has persistent eczema too, so i know how bad it can be..we have a family history issue tho (hubs had bad asthma as a child, but he's the only one in his WHOLE extended family with this ailment! and i just found out last week i've got a form of eczema on my fingers that just started 2 months after yee heng was born, which is worsened by stress and insufficient rest..HAH, the irony!)
one PD i went to asked me to eliminate ALL dairy, so no butter, cheese or milk powder, or ice-cream or chocolate! i do try to stick to this rule, but its hard...n doesn't always seem to help..when his skin gets really bad n scaly, i apply steroid cream 2x a day (hydrocortisone 0.1% strength i think) n i moisturise like crazy for him! advice i've read fr various sources say to moisturise within 3 mins after baby's bath(i use aqueous cream which u can get fr any pharmacy n was recommended by our regular PD at nuh)...also make sure u keep nails SUPER short..i trim yee heng's nails practically every day...and still he manages to scratch himself somehow..
the PDs i've seen said the best thing to do is continue BF totally is possible, as studies have shown it to be a protective factor..
my bub's got super sensitive skin in general as well, and its a real pain..now, he has a bit of a rash on his tum at the moment from
"ru yi" oil i think, as that's the only thing i've added last few days due to his gas..
i was pretty upset initially when i was told yee heng has infant eczema, but was reassured when my cousin told me all her 3 kids had it n outgrew it by the time they hit their first birthday..and she breastfeed all 3 of them and was told by HER PD that that was the best protection she could give them! so keep at it ok?
we're kinda in the same boat here!

I happened to read yr posting abt ezcema and would like to share with u my experience. Honestely I dont think is BM cos it should be the best thing for baby. My girl suffered from ezcema since 6wks old when i mix BM with formula. From 8 wks onwards full formula and condition did not improve at all until when she is 3mths plus after we switched from cow to soy milk. There is no way to check for cow's allergy for baby, but we took PD advice and try out. Now her skin is very gd. You might want to discuss with yr doc.

leooh,
how's that Globetrotter's Restaurant like? Is the room big enough for us to move around freely to mingle? Sorry.. cos me a bit claustrophobic... esp when there are many people squeezed into a small room. ;P

then it may be a different model. mine is mint and black. if you can find somewhere that sell the 2007 model in the color you want, the price should have gone down quite a bit. every year when the "new" model becomes available, the last year model goes down quite a bit in price.

aiyoh, dont envy me lah, my gal sleep early everyday but she wake up so many times in between..she sleep at 7+ or 8, then wake up at 10pm then 12am, then 2am then 4, 5, 6am,7am last feed b4 I prepare for work...last time she can slept from 7pm to 12am, then only wake up every 2 or 3 hours, this week she only can sleep continuesly at most 2 hour then wake up, try feed her FM she doesn't want or only drink 40ml then stop drink and make noise, if I latch on then she will sleep very fast...
recently just heard a theory why I can't lost weight as not enough sleep, I have been like this since bb was born, where got enough sleep to lose weight..but since BM is the best to bb I will still continue till I can't really tahan..

rc_cola: I checked with my dermatologist, and this is what she smsed me: " Breastfeeding is the best thing she can do for her eczematous baby. Advise her to avoid allergenic foods like peanuts and shellfish while breastfeeding. Yes, baby should see a dermatologist."
Hope that answers your question as to whether or not to continue BFing.

lilyn,
my bad gal very smart, she know what's the difference btween pacifier and mum's nipple..she will push away the pacifier and cry..have tried Avent/Nuk/Pigoen pacifer, all she doesn't like..personally I feel all the pacifer r too short, it always drop from my gal's mouth, main reason is my gal doesn't really want to suckle it so always drop..

This thread really flying very fast and hardly anytime for me to log on. Feeling very drained after class last night, as it ended at 9.30pm...
btw,mummies,
I hv received the GOO.N diapers last night, no chance to try yet, maybe this weekend will try and let u know how is it..price wise it's about same as the Nepia during NTUC sales, but same size package less pieces inside..also, they only give one piece of sample...

recently received several call from different FM company says want to give me stage 2 FM for try, but friso is the brand that I'm using now, they haven't called me yet. think of change the dumax stage 2 FM with mummies who need it if you have free friso stage2 samples later, we can exchange during the gathering..but they said need 2 weeks time to post to me..
Dear mummies,
Good morning...
Will be having meeting AGAIN !
at 10. *sigh* another one at 4
My baby is doing fine now. Her rashes although still there but it is better than the day before.
The worse part is her forearm and some on face. Hope she will get over it soon.
There are so many babies in the same position as mine. At least we are trying our best to make our babies feel comfortable.
Re: mitten
My girl's prob is not only scratching but rubbing as well.
Once she starts rubbing whether with mitten or not, the redness will come back.
Show one of the pict we took recently of her.
Really miss her a lot.
Pooh,
Wow.. you are now SAHM, so nice!
Baa. Trish (apologise if I wrongly spelt your nicks).
Thanks for the advise.

Loh,
my that colleague okay lah. She at first outright reject my proposal/plea for them to put in cubicles. But I went to get floor plan, then I show her how to place the cubicles, told her the cubicles dun have to be big, toilet cubicle size can liaoz (then I show her on the plan the toilet cubicles size to compare, to prove that it is possible to fit 2 cubicles into the mum’s room), then I told her, no need proper single leaf door nor sliding door, just use those hdb toilet bi-fold door can already… I also brought another mummy with me to go with me to talk to her. Then she say, okay she try lah. But she was not very enthu (think coz I make more work for her mah), so I thought “die liaoz. Sure dun have one.” So I was pleasantly surprised that they did managed to put in the two cubicles! and I also suggested having some cabinet or shelving (coz some mummies leave their pump in the room) – they put in shelving! Hehehe… my mantra is:” No harm trying.” kekeke… but it’s company culture also lah… my company very pro-family, pro-baby one… when I was pregnant, like celebrity like that. Everyone likes to talk to pregnant ladies. Was telling my hubby:” It’s hip to be pregnant in Ascendas!” haha…
Mel,
oh we bought the insurance from my financial advisor lor. He’s with Finexis (company set up by a bunch of ppl who left Philip Securities) – you want me to introduce him to you? If you’re talking about the policies, they’re from Asia Life, I think. Tokio Marine or something. It’s a combination of two policies.
Isaac also these few days, dunno why, have been sleeping later, at 11plus like that. Refuse to sleep at 9plus like he usually does. Maybe he sleeps too much in the day. I pat pat nurse nurse pat pat him to sleep – I fall asleep faster than he does. Pengz san.
Xman,
You say the teats all too short for your gal? or issit your n*pple very long??? Kekekkee… sorry, couldn’t resist that… hahahaa…
Jo,
Forgot to mention yesterday. The pumping apparatus you guys got, very SCARY looking you know… looks HUGE in the pic too! Yikes. Poor Jeddy. So how, Friday already, poo yet? Maybe you should start taking more fruits yourself. Maybe that’d help???

morning mummies!
received the GOOn diaper sample last nite..trialed it on yee heng and found it was pretty good..no thigh marks, we had a rather heavy smell of pee this morning tho! he fell asleep almost on his own last nite..was quite funny,cuz he was in a super chatty mood..was babbling whilst i was putting him to sleep.i was trying so hard not to smile or he'd smile back and think its play time!but after a while he just lay in his cot and dozed off! am hoping that this means he's starting to not rely on me patting him to sleep anymore..
xman,
actually yee heng also doesn't keep the avent pacifier in his mouth for long...maybe u can trick ur girl...do a switch after she suckles for a lil while? it works for me! hehe...
jete,
try using the sling when she's in her best mood? yee heng wasn't a fan at first cuz i was SO clumsy...but slowly got used to it..i think it helps if someone shows u how to use it first tho, as opposed to just having pics on the net..i started with the MIM sling, watched the VCD and practiced with a teddybear first, then only started practicing with the bub
only graduated to luckybaby sling later on..
alsie,
i got mine already...a combi one from yahoo auctions..awaitin payment and delivery arrangements now! we figured we'd buy one of these rocker/high chair types since we're gonna have more than one bub, so we can use it to place bub in the hall or something late on..and its a 5 point restraint system so good for yee heng aka mr. wiggleworm!

Nining,
Poor thing, Ike will sure miss you when you go KL
Xman,
I am also having problem with pacifier. These few night I try to pop in the pacifier into Jerome's mouth when he wakes up in the middle of the night, he don't want. He will fuss for breast!
Lilyn
Glad that you have gotten the combi one. I am still thinking whether to get Combi Rushule since Enjoyme is no longer available or should get the new brand Herokids
ZhuZhu,
All MEN are the same. My hubby sometimes will do that to me as well. Rather pissed off but than what can we do? We still need them at times, especially in carrying heavy things like strollers
