dear mummies,
thanks for all ur concern... am so touched...
we are now at Mt A. bb admitted this morning coz he rejected milk, only drank 70ml last night and 50ml this morning... really worried he will dehydrate... so this morning review PD notice early signs of dehydration and we admitted him straightaway and on drip... im more relieved actually, and his appetite for milk & solid improving...
he really cheeky boy, keep meddling wi the drip machine, the food chart, the switches, the bedsheet, pull everythg he can pull... and when nurses came in to check on him he will flash his biggest smile! they all said he dun look sick at all, even called him mr charming...
thanks for all ur advices mummies, they are definately helpful!

totoro & bbwow,
kelly & jayden sick as well? poor thing... monitor them closely gals, look out for the wheezing sound on top of their normal cough... zq has that wheezing sound whenever he got virus infection... he is now on nebuliser to "open" up his airway so he can breathe easier... throat not so congested and hence can improve his drinking.. i really think the nebuliser at my home is my saviour! think zq gonna rely on it often till he outgrow this sensitive thingy.. PD said may have to wait till 7 yr old...
gals, i will pray for kelly & jayden speedy recovery... u both must take care too! hugs...

dodo,
hope zq is alright and will get better soon. stay strong for your little boy.
maid: mine is indon, she's alright, but already in sg for 1 year, still her english is very bad, so i think if you dont know malay, will have communication problem.
hope kelly and jayden get well soon too.
have a good weekend everyone!

filipino can speak english, but they are also very street wise. They know their rights and such, and might be more difficult to handle. They might wanna insist on going out on sundays n probs might araise from there.
indon maid can be more hardworking if you are lucky. Not lucky ones, might get those that steals. My fil's maid stole from my grandma in law. No evidence so they cannot do anything. She is oso very lazy, with no initiative at all. Later they decided to change her n they are lucky to get this maid who is so full of love for the old lady and is v v hardworking.
Last time my brother's maid worse. Met an sg indian man n even brought my neice to his hse, left her to play in the living room while they had sex in the room.

Evening Mummies...
dodo,
Yes, u can call out to me here when u need the EYS Clinic contact. But from what I noe, the physician is a lady from China. Itz from the explaination towards the diagnosis & medication effects that my sister questioned about, my sis thinks she is ok. If not, get me via my hp. (hp# via yahoo gp)
re: Maid
Yes, I do agree that getting a maid very much depends on LUCK! We got 2 helpers @ home, one from Phil n one from Indo. Pay diff is 30bucks.
The Indo spends more time with the boys, and we do encourage her to speak Bahasa Indonesia with the boys.
Indo - likes kids and gd playmate for the kids, but kinda lazy. On and off, got to take soft approach of brainwash counselling coz she is still young. Thatz the Indo culture. She is quite gd though.
*Sorie, no offence to Indo.
Phil - Old, but very hardworking. She is gd.
Both can handle the kids quite well.
We have CCTV monitoring @ home. To monitor the maids & boys when they are home alone, and also for some of us when we are overseas.
Juz need to pray hard that can get a gd maid. Itz really tough!
bbwow,
Yes, dun bring J for swimming tentatively. Maybe when he is back full-charged again. ;D
ecookie,
The neubuliser is prescribed when there is wheezing sound heard. The phlegmy thing YZ has need time to go off. Work on his diet plan, thatz easiest. Erhmm... U check with PD if itz due to FM? Most of what our little ones are taking are heaty. The FM, cereals, etc.

Greetings from Melbourne,
No time to check the earlier posts yet.
Dodo,
You are doing GREAT !!! Don't be too harsh on yourself ok
bbwow,
If your hubby is agreeable, you can call to the camp directly and try to expain that baby is sick (might need support document like child MC) that's why you need hubby home every night. They might consider letting your hubby book out on case by case basis. My hubby last time mentioned to me that he camp mate book out every night cos his wife is pregnant and reqeust not to be left alone at night.
Jas,
we don't intend to circumsize Caelen. Just do proper clean, can liao.
Cherie Bear,
No. Beco carrier cannot be use to carry baby facing front. Due to the fact it supports the baby's thigh too.
Chris,
Could it be the shoudler strap too loose ? The one that you adjust at the back.

Ariajo,
If suitable for you, you can keep the rest since I'd got quite a bit myself
Totoro_bb,
Received your sms, will have to check with hubby after I return back to Singapore (20th sept) ok ?
Gingerleaf,
I'd booked a day tour (8am - 11pm) for puffing billy (steam train), farm visit and penguin parade tomorrow. Got it at half-tix so paid Aud$95.65 (incld processing and fuel levy) for the tour (original AUD$167). I'm join the tour alone as my collegue's wife coming tomorrow thus he cannot make it. I avoid the sunday tour, cause worried next day super stone during my training. So hope I can meet some new friends for the trip

hope all your babies get well soon. do give them lots of water. try to avoid giving fruit of any sort to them for the time being, coz some fruit may induce phlegm. cereal also. on top of milk, porridge (if baby is receptive), just give lotsa plain water, some barley also helps.
dodo,
glad to hear that ur boy's active and playing at Mt A. that's very important. once he recovers, he will slowly gain back the weight. stay strong and positive.
regarding maids, also at times, need to win maids over on ur side, be nice to them, tell them nicely where they go wrong,etc, then they r willing to work for you. both indo n phil have their pros n cons. married/unmarried also have their pros n cons. ultimately, it depends on luck!
ecookie
perhaps you can try neubuliser if still dun recover coz i think ur boy's condition quite some time already right? not so gd to let his condition go on like this coz it may not be so gd for his lungs. the neubuliser really helps in reliving the chest and loosening the phlegm.
annie
may ur kayden recover in time to enjoy his 1st b'day celebration.

hi mummies,
back from PD just now. PD cfmed again that yz condition due to sensitive nose = mucus = backflow to become phlegm. requested for neubuliser and PD said it will help to loosen the phlegm in throat. good thing is no phlegm in lungs.
however, yz hates the neubuliser. was screaming his head off the whole time its on him. we got to hold on to his hands cos he was knocking the mouth/nose piece non stop! and after the crying, he seems v sad and more mucus! *faint* wonder if this is a good solution.
will monitor further as the plan is to let him on neubuliser for these 3 days only

hihi,
Long time did not log in. Hailey is sick too same as zq. She is also on neubiliser now. Poor girl she has ben sick for 2 weeks. From a normal cough to flu and fever. I have been busy looking after her these 2 weeks. Esp her phlegm is blocked by the respiratory airway, leading to asthma attack, she has to be on the neubiliser for every 4 hrs. So dodo I can understand how u feel. :-( She also had terrible blocked nose that the doc used the machine to suck the mucus out from the nose using a long tiny straw inside the nose, I c already so hard pain. At this age, they really very sentitive to virus. I even ask the doc how to prevent but he said it is very difficult to prvent at times. So sad.
Hope our babies can recover soon.

morning mummies,
thanks all for feedback on helpers issue.
we are thinking to engage one solely for housechores & preferable she can cook meals for us. i will try not to let her involve in taking care of bb... maybe only fetching bb stuff for me things like that... if i find that she's good aftr few months observation, only then i will let her involve in taking care of bb bah...
btw, any good maid agency to intro?
chris,
he's super active... but his milk intake still low... last night only drank 90ml and this morning only 60ml... sigh~ not sure whats wrong.. his cough seems to recover already...
ling,
poor hailey... ya gal, i can fully understand ur feeling also... it's just so helpless right... is bb hailey stay at hospital now? zq on nebuliser every 6 hours and he got mild blocked nose also, was give medicine to clear it, but if still got blockage then need to use the tube that u mentioned for mucus extraction... it's painful for bb but if it helps i think it's better we use it loh...
ecookie,
like what junnie said, this is the 1st time yz use nebuliser, sure he will get intimidated by it! zq also behave like that sometimes.. the machine sound is indeed abit frightening... no worry, follow doc's instruction for these few days... nurse told me yesterday it's normal for bb to have more mucus after the nebuliser treatment coz it loosen up the phlegm and congsted chest... zq had test done yesterday, hopefully the result is okay, really hope the infection haven hit his lungs yet... sigh..

hi mummies, so many babies sick...hope they all get well soon...
dodo, zq is so cheeky huh hehehe. while we parents are worried sick for them, they're still so happy...hahaaa...
re: maids
when i was looking for a maid I considered both indo and phil but in the end chose phil coz i dunno any malay...and i had to go back to work in like less than a mth so i would need a fast learner. so in the end i got a phil maid who is college educated n can speak good english.
i think what helped me decide was the agent i went to, helped me arrange a long-distance interview via skype. so i could really quiz them and see if they understand my questions, i posed some tough questions and saw how they respond...and got to see their body language. it was good, because my maid has turned out to be such a good help. she really adores my boy and she's good at housework too. also very easy-going. couldn't ask for more.
my mom has an indo maid, altho hardworking but slow...must keep repeating instructions...but now her english is slightly better..
so like doobom said, depends on your luck.
oh yah, i went to Raymond Maids. their agency fees is more ex than the others but at least they dun try to push transfer maids to me like the other agency i went to.

aria.. I'm saving some of the photos to make her birthday invitation card. So preserving it lah.
chris.. I got the oil from those pushcart that sell air purifier as well! I think can see them everywhere, I got mine at Suntec outside Carrefor, bought it together with the cow humidifier.
dodo.. I'm also looking at maid but still procastinating! Our family never used maid before and so many bad example, we kind of scare! I think we will eventually get one when we really cannot tolerate. If not, I will "tong" until Jae 18mth then put her to playgroup.

hope the neubulizer helps. it can be quite frightening for bb coz its strange for them to have the mask in front of them. tat time for my boy, had to grip him hard so that he won't struggle, coz once he struggle, he gets more agitated. quite tough but it really helps alot. we also bought the machine back after chatting with dodo about it. felt that in the long run its more economical rather than renting the equipment back home.
dodo
dun worry too much about his milk intake. coz sometimes the phlegm makes him feel v.uncomfy, so v.hard to swallow, and can't take much. just give him lots of water. water also helps to loosen the phlegm. hope the infection doesn't go to the lungs. for my boy, it went to his lungs, recovery process was painstakingly long and even if he doesn't cough, just normal activities,etc, when i hold him next to me, i can feel his chest is so so phlegmy. sms u, but think u must b pretty held up by him.

how u been? when ur u due? read an earlier post abt you contemplating on being a SAHM. haha... if there's an opportunity, go for it lor. coz i think its more worth to devote time on our child rather than someone else's child. also, if you decide to go back to teaching when ur kids are older, can join as adjunct teachers, also not bad!
have not been reading much of the posts nowadays coz school term is going crazy. exam in 2 weeks time n i've yet to finish setting my paper! die....
ok, going to do my work already. have a lovely weekend, all mummies!

ecookie,
oh dear. yz phlegm not getting any better? hope the neubulizer helps.
dodo,
is zq better today? pray for his fast recovery and discharge!
J's fever has come down but his milk intake is still bad. Afternoon only took 60ml and then refuse to drink any further! Fed porridge and refused too!
He doesn't sound like he's got phlegm leh so really dunno what's causing him to lose appetite.
Sigh... he seemed more tired than before. this morning woke up at 7, drank milk and went back to sleep till 9am which he never did before! Then just now went out he slept for 3 hours which he also never did before! really dunno what's wrong. arrghh!

hi mummies,
i think yz phlegm is getting better. but not sure due to neubuliser or after taking meds for so long or just he is getting stronger. guess got to monitor after the return of neb in 3 days time. if phlegm becomes worse, then will have to see how again!
bbwow: dun be too worried. having fever is a v tiring thing. even for adults, when we have fever can sleep the whole day away.. so long his fever is coming down then its good. give him 1-2 more days, im sure his appetite will resume.

karrie,
thanks for the info on helper! will weigh the pros and cons of having one though hubby very tempted to have one, coz he said can lessen my load, but i hope it will not be another way round that she further add on to my load!
eil,
who taking care of jae now? ya, my family had a helper when we were young and she was actually not bad, but i dun like her coz i very particular abt the way i keep my things i dun like her to touch my stuff! so i always "complain" to my mum... my sisters also "complain" further, so my mum couldnt take the pressure from us and send her back... ya, heard too many scary stories abt them, make me pondering over this for long...
dreamz,
gal! i left my sim card at KL, so basically im uncontactable now leh... coz left there in a rush, forgot to change my sim card.. argh..
zq still very active, and he will smile at all the nurses and they all "sot tio" by him... will come in my ward and play peekaboo once in a while... he very famous here now! but but but, he still not keen in milk, only 400ml today.. sigh~
bbwow,
oh dear.. gal, my advice for u is to take J to a PD now.. share wi u somethg, zq was like that last time round, super lethargic and sleepy.. drink little milk and can sleep long hours.. i find somethg not right and brought him to PD, only then realised he was sick! virus infection again but the symptoms such as cough/ fever not kick in yet... so PD said it's good we detect earlier... i sincerely hope that J is alright and not kena virus infection, but to playsafe, i really think u shd see a PD on this and tell him all ur probs & observations these few days... take care ya!
gingerleaf,
thanks for the super BIG mickey! zq smiled at it once i showed him when he woke up... and whenever i asked him "where is mickey?" he will look at it and smile! am so touched gal... and ya, i think u look prettier with perm hair!
