Emily,
My girl 10 weeks+ they told me is ok. Just to share with those mummies that are taking their baby for hydrotherapy. My girl cry like hell for 5mins so we hv to take her out but i tried putting her back after 10mins and she swam like a pro for 20min!! I tried also the massage which they charge $20 and is quite ex for 5mins work and is not anything special that we did not learn from parentcraft class.

Em, will update u after i bring him there. =p
i rem them saying it is from newborn till 12 mths. someone from this forum said tat too but forgot who le. =p
Dramaqueen,
Yes, i would like to try that. 1 box for me pls
BB , i didnt attend any parentcraft lesson, u think is worth for me to pay $20 for that?
Mummies, I just ask a friend who is a PD, she said that if the baby starts to drink lesser, check the weight to see if he/she is growing fine. If the weight is increasing n bb is growing well, we need not worry.

How old are your babies? They just started drinking less recently?
My baby (10weeks +) is drinking more these days, from 120ml, she does not seemed to have enough, so we give her 125ml. I wonder if I interpreted her cries wrongly. She will cry if we take out the bottle when she finished the milk.

Emily, Angel,
on the hydrotheraphy brochure, it was stated that babies aged 1 - 12 months should try. SO I think your babies should be old enough.

Mummies,
I have one question about using pacifier:
Last time, in the evening, about 6+ 7pm, we will carry baby and "rock" her to sleep. We need to take about 15-20min to make her sleep, then we quietly put her on the bed. These two days, we tried to use the pacifier, she seemed to be able to fall asleep on her own. (we are so happy!) But we soon realised that she will wake up whenever she dropped her pacifier. Looks like we got a new problem, we have to keep picking up the pacifier for her, until she is really in deep sleep.
Did you have this problem? Are we wrong to give her the pacifier? If it is ok, how do we stop her from being "addicted" to it when she grows older? (Dun hve pacifier, cannot sleep).

Phoebe,
Is only 5mins which i consider abit ex. but since u never attend the parentcraft maybe can try once to learn. Bring yr camera to record if there is this function. They told me the swimming helps with sleeping & pooing and i can tell you is ture. I hv a difficult baby usually waking up at 3am for feed and never go back to sleep till abt 4 or 4:30am. But on that day she slept alot and even after feeding at 3am she slept immideately, this never happen before!! But she also woke up at 5am & 6.30am cos she poo, but again she slept soon after i change her.
I will not do the massage again but already book this week for her to swim. Too bad i am not staying around that area if not will bring her there often. my 2 way taxi fare cost more than the swim. ;(

Hi <font color="0000ff">cookie monster</font>..
I used to be like u too, carry & rock my son till he sleep and it takes ~15mins.. But imagine our baby's weight is increasing and it is very difficult to continue when they grow heavier... So I introduce pacifier to him.. Once he suck on his pacifier, he will go to sleep on his own, within 10 mins... If not, I will just pat him lightly on his chest...
I am also worried that he will get addicted... I try not to put the pacifier back into his mouth after it dropped off (unless he cry for it)...
Besides the concern on addiction, I am also concerned abt the future dental problem that may arise.. I did some reading and manage to find some useful info.. You can read this link in my blog if u have time..
http://mummy-and-edison.blogspot.com/
Basically, my conclusion is that it is safe to introduce pacifier to baby below 1 year old. Pacifier is critical for the first 6 months old of life as the sucking need is strong among infants. We shd try to terminate the use by 1 y/o.

Hi cookie monster,
My girl was born on 5th Sep, she started drinking less ard week 10+.
Re pacifier,
The books I've read recommends using it to calm the baby down, but take it out right before he falls asleep so that he will learn not to expect it when he's sleeping, otherwise he will be learning the wrong sleep associations (cannot sleep without a pacifier), when the pacifier falls out, he will cry for it coz he can't fall back asleep on his own.
Its abit tricky initially knowing when to pull out the pacifier...sometimes my girl opens her eyes when I pull it out. Initially she used to cry and I had to put it back, wait till she's almost asleep again, and then pull it out. But now when I pull it out, she goes back to sleep.

Hi Bebeng,
Long time no see your post liao!
Ya bring ashton and try lah...if he likes bathing he's sure to like this!
But make sure you feed him abt 1 hr before the session so that he's not hungry and cranky.
The hydrotherapy is supposed to strengthen baby's muscles and lungs, and all the energy that's used up will help them eat and sleep better, and supposedly improves bowel movements as well. The warm water also promotes blood circulation. This is what they claim lah...I dunno how true because my girl was not eating well that day when I brought her there and she didn't improve after the therapy. She also didn't poo poo until 2 days later. But the whole experience for fun overall! I think the massage session was good coz I learnt how to do a proper massage for Jade and they allowed me to film the session. There were no other customers when I went so they massaged for abt 20 mins.
The tub I bought is the normal bath tub for homes. Its different from the hydrotherapy place in terms of shape and size. Theirs is square and tall.

Hi rxsti,
I think some jacuzzi tubs are quite deep so you can use it there too. But don't turn on the jets. Hmmm...but if its a public jacuzzi I wouldn't use it coz the cleanliness of the water is really questionable. And the water temperature may be too hot for the baby so be careful. The temp should be at most 37-38 degrees which is the baby's body temperature.

Hi Em,
Yes they allow you to film everything...not very clever hor? Hehehe!
I think they allow one or two ppl inside only, but ppl from the outside can see very well coz there's a clear glass panel.
Alot of ppl passing by will look in to see...its like a fish tank and your baby is on display.
