i do have one other water bottle which my elder girl is using, quite good, doesn't leak... but the only thing is, the bottle is opaque, hence i cannot see the water inside it, until i open the top totally to fill up water... i prefer those that are clear so i can see the water inside...
k@ye,
aiyo... how high is Claire's fever? it might just be another bout of roseola? but just to keep everyone's mind at ease, better follow your mum's advice to go kkh and scan.
actually fever high as 40 degrees, even if you go to A&E in hospitals, they will just put u into category 2, (not even 1 which is the top priority). they will give u water to sponge them while you wait in the queue... then when ur turn comes, they will do the necessary checks, etc. and if they see nothing they will just send you home. But all these for a peace of mind la...

plim, the pigeon mug I use is not the normal mag mug (orange). It has a few colors. So far I just throw into the bag and din leak before.
poisson, the cleaning brush I got from Isetan. Actually the normal pigeon brush for milk bottle also has a similar small brush attached to it.

Kaye,
I think it could be some viral infection, dun think it's associated with the fall. G's recent fever also went up and down for abt 4 days, highest was abt 40 degrees too. We had to feed him neurofen for abt 3 times before the fever finally subsided for good. Cheer up ok, I know it's tiring and worrying..but I guess it's part of growing up for our todds. Be strong..you have our support here!

k@ye: Dun worry ok? I'm sure Claire will be fine.
Plim & Kitty: Thanks! Think I will probably send E to school when he turns 18-20 months.
Plim: I use the cup from Tollyjoy. Its got 2 applications, 1 is the straw and the other is the spout. Now, E drinks from the straw from his MagMag and from the cup directly from his tollyjoy as it has 2 handles on either side for him to hold. Refused to drink from it if I put on the applicator heads.

i know mag mag leaks if the insert ring (straw stage 3) is not placed properly or when the straw beneath the cap is loose (u gotta assemble it properly) but doesnt leak that badly IMO.
I am surprised when u mention Avent sippy cup leaks cos it dint happen in my case. (I am using the 12mth+ one)
Aiyo, seems like many todds are either falling sick, recovering or overeaten this CNY. ZY ate so much on day 1 of CNY that her stomach is so BIG! Heng the next day she poos 2-3 times and stomach flattens liao.. (I am the culprit who feeds her cos each time she sees us eat, she wanna something, so i gotta give her biscuit or kueh lapis)
Did anyone know abt this myth abt feeding a baby with chopsticks and her teeth will be crooked? I give my MIL dirty looks and make sarcastic remarks when she caught us feeding ZY using chopsticks and say "No wonder her teeth is crooked" - It makes me so mad!! That is CNY day 2!

miss A,
rosela is contagious only in the initial stage even before the fever starts, so that's why our babies will catch it and we don't even know how.
mummies,
does anyone have a part-time house cleaner to recommend, one that is ok at tampines to clean 5-room. we tried about two but so far they always fly kite & didn't turn up the first time. quite unsuccessful so far.

plim,
thanks but think i dun hv the patience to explain this.. juz hv to watch out tonite dun let her see me feeding her using chopstick!
She feeds chicken to ZY even though we say no (before i can explain that she hasnt had her porridge, hence if u feed her that, she might reject her porridge later.. guess wat, she pops the chicken in liao)

lazykat: Is your MIL the main caregiver for ZY? Maybe thats why she's trying to show her authority in how ZY is brought up. Ask your hubby to back you up, it always helps when their precious sons sing the same song. hehe.
I've heard of so many stories of my MIL feeding E all kinds of funny stuff that I give up liao. hehe. Funny thing that its my hubby who gets angry and kao pei to his mother. haha.

Michviv,
no, i dun think she is trying to show her authority - she juz wanna go by the tradition that they get to eat chicken drum @ such festive time. I am not against her eating that, just that not just before her porridge. My hubby also say no, though he is more worried she can't chew properly. I guess its just one of those days that our opinions differ largely and all happening during CNY.
I am usually the culprit to give her some junk here and there, but it is during snack time, not before a main meal.

Re: Feeding Baby with Chopsticks
Kat, I always done that when feeding my son. It's just a myth so don't let them affect you.
RE: Mag Mag
My son still at stage one!!! He doesn't like stage two and for stage 3, he just bite the straw. But he did manage to sip abit of Milo when I pass him the packet drink. How to make them drink from straw?
RE: Junk Food
My aunt also fed him with sweets without asking us! My DH try to stop but my MIL being nice said feed abit is fine. I don't want him to addict to too sweet stuffs but don't like them to feed them anything without asking. Afterall, they are not the care-taker.
Just know that a few of your BB fall sick. Hope they are get well soon. On having flu, I realize that they have nose block more often if they sleep in the air-con. Hence, when my son is down with flu, I will sleep with him without aircon and he did sleep better.
RE: Falling & knocking
Mine can fall suddenly while walking. I think he is trying to run, thus slip and fall. Blue black on his forehead and legs too. The other day just fall off from the mattress that is placing on the floor backward. Too late to catch him also.

haha..so funny, why MILs are all the same? My MIL also suggested feeding my boy with all the funny chinese herbs concoction to heal his bronchitis and phelgm. My mum tried one and he puked them all out after a few sips..I was so pissed and told my mum not to listen to my MIL. Until today she is still telling me to go medical halls and prescribe those herbs for G, she said that those herbs worked miracles for his 3 sons when they were sick, but I think otherwise...
Poissons,
at least my MIL not into chinese medi, so i got one less problem here.. its just different school of thots and sometimes these entrenched learning are hard to brainwash..
Gelyn,
i forbid any sweet, cakes and stuff I am ok. But to me timing is impt, cos I am still feeding ZY home-cooked stuff w/o seasoning. I figure she will be eating lots of junk soon so better to prolong her healthy eating habits now than never.

Hi ladies,
Thanks for the support. Came back from KKH liao. Doc EMPHASIZED to my Mum that no need to go for X-ray of the head coz it has past 48 hours after her fall and Claire is active n everything abt her is fine.
But doc sent her for blood test. Poor gal, cried buckets when they do the blood test.... After the test results, doc says its viral infection and told me to bring her to any polyclinic after 2 weeks for another blood test.

Michviv, I used Borderlinx for shipping from US coz its faster as they used DHL. Vpost is very slow, think Comgateway also used DHL for shipping.
If i m not wrong, shipping from China used EMS (similar to DHL) most of the time.
Claire kena ROSELA again! Me pretty shocked leh, coz the PD told me kena once, wont get it again! No wonder the blood test says viral infection coz Rosela is a form of virus~!

k@ye,take care. Hope Claire gets better soon. My PD always tells me usually viral fever will last for 5days and some may have rashes after the fever. If more than 5days could be an infection. Not sure if that rashes he mentions is rosela, if so than it may be quite common for babies.
anyway below article on the virus, it did same it may re-occur but not common.

Hi Gals,
Happy Niu Year...
Aiyo, seems like a few of our nov baobei are sick. Hope that everyone will recover very soon and be healthy all year long. And also to all the mummies, stay healthy!
With drinking, i gave my boy those waterbottles with the straw and he actually drinks more versus sippy cup.
and when it comes to junk food, from day 1 i am very strict even to the extended family. I will firmly say no. even they try to be funny or say like CNY never mind, I will shoot them straight in the face and say no means no, no such thing as CNY.
And if anyone make comments like: not that I dont want to give, is your mummy disallow, I will immediately scold that person stop trying to play the good role and sowing discord. In short, ask them to shut up.
Or when they say: poor boy, dont get to eat all these "nice" tibits... i will definitely retort: when my boy falls sick from these nice tibits, then he is really a poor boy.. and are you all ready to suffer for him?
For sure, they will shut up after that... try try... 100% works

Tinkabel ah, BDL increased their prices!!! They now charged 5% for their concierge services if the orders is less than US$50.
Michviv, u can go to their website for the pricing. For BDL, must hv citibank credit card lah, Vpost is any credit card also can. My case is both prices are similiar but Vpost is real slow....
Jadefeet, hehe... Will try ur mtd again! I dun mind letting Claire eat a bit of the CNY junk but will put in my foot when its excessive.

k@ye: I just went to check out the websites. But hor, for BDL must be really declare how much we paid for the item or else will be very expensive leh since they add the product value to the base shipping charge. Can we "agar" the value of the item shipped?
Tinkabel:Thanks. Will try to find out more about EMS then. hehe. Not much info on their website or at least I dun understand their pricing info. No currency indicated!

Michviv, for BDL, Vpost or Comgateway, they require u to declare the value one unless hor the merchant can under declare for u. Cannot run away coz need to collect 7% GST. But me buey song that GST for BDL is collected in USD.
Vpost needs to see the physical invoice (as in email one lah) and BDL will agar the value for u. Sometimes BDL will over or under estimate the value for u lor. And if they over estimate the value and needs to change, they will request to see the invoice.

lazykat,
silly question ah, re the magmag straw cup.
u know, when u put the cover over the base(cup), there's a white piece of rubber at the top of the base(cup), is that supposed to be lying down or is it supposed to be standing up when u put the cover on top (assume u do all these in upright position)?
sorry ah, dunno if my question is clear enuff or not... cos juz now i tried covering and the thing still leaks from the portion that joins the cover and the base(cup). When i make it such that the white flap is lying down when i put the cover on, it doesn't leak liao, is tat the correct way?
