(2007/11) November MTBs

Mambobb, ya... can use it to cook with Barley but if cook with barley better to use the fresh winter melon.... coz the preserved winter melon too sweet lah...

Another alternative is to let Cailyn drink honey. It will help in letting her poo. Actually, i will freak out if ask me to insert the bullet myself into Claire's anus!

Michviv, i apply for the Isetan credit card so they will send the mailer to my home lor!

Kat, i think the corningware is on another piece of flyer coz i seen it too... The piece of flyer could be the special buys sent to members!
 


michviv,
bintan club med. yes i do recommend..but if u want to say what the babies can do there...
- swimming in pool
- play with sand at beach
- run around the area...haahaa

thats about it. its because they are under 2 yrs old.. so they cannot join petit club med where there will be alot of activities.. like drawing, storytelling, sand play, water play... etc.

but food wise, its no problem at all. they have a special fridge for all baby food, but its always the same 2 flavours. however u can ask the kitchen to cook whatever u want for the baby. i didnt ask kitchen to cook. i took wat ever on the buffet station and give it to her.. like noodles, pasta , rice, potato, etc etc... she loves it.. and she will eat lots of fruits everyday,, each meal. she loves dragonfruit.
overall, i say yes to go -- 3 to 4 days should be enuff... i had 5 days cos mine is a promo.

for the adults, can do canoeing, sailing, burn on the beach/pool, tennis, yoga, gym, pingpong, archery. every nite there is a peformance session.
best of all, there is a doc in house 24 hours..haahaa i tried it also. ash high fever...but go see doc ok liao. haiz...

lazykat,
dont know why this time dont have. i always got see leh. tiger and zoijurshi is always 20 + 10% or something like tat...
 
michviv: where can I get the Glycerin suppositories or microlax (which is an enema)?

k@ye: I have inserted few times to her liao.. so its like 'easy job' to me liao.. haha.. moreover she doesnt feel anything when I did the inserting..

So i can just cook the dried winter melon on water for her to drink. Will try that first before proceed to michviv's method.

I bought the Childlife Colostrum Powder from langlao that is to reduce her from constipation but yet to receive yet.. so at the mean time need to use other method to tahan first.

Any brand/type of dried winter melon will do right?

What kind of honey is suitable for the bb too? Any brand to recommend?
 
pig07:hee tks tks

hope everythng's welll for u too

Mambobb:last week hayley's stools was hard too......hv to use some soap and shaft in inside her anus.....no choice if not....the next mrning they came out well hehehheheh but i think she "kiek" till alittle bleeding inside this time,3 drops when we shower her after her poop

barley does help and the probatics.....did u buy??????

grace:no lla london.....unless those up market ones if not......actually all stuffs not cheap there :p maybe i try hkg after the x'mas season...now tst is like jam packed!!!!!!
 
They can take after 1 year old lah...

The Food Standards Agency say, "Don't give honey to your baby until he or she is a year old. This is because, very occasionally, honey can contain a type of bacteria that can produce toxins in a baby's intestines. This can cause serious illness (infant botulism). After a baby is a year old, the intestine has matured and the bacteria can't grow."
 
grace, you are forgiven, noted u hv to secretly read post in the office heehee.

mamboob, I'll prob pass your stuff to my fren this evening. His name is Daniel, he'll contact u so pls on sms alert hor in case he go back tampines tonight. For barley, I use the china big barley, not the adult kind. I just boil for 20 mins wo winter melon. Normally use it to make FM.
 
Grace: thanks for the review! =) Do you know if our toddlers can attend Petit Club if they are accompanied? At least that way, there are more activities to do!

Mambobb: You can buy it over the counter from any pharmacy. You don't need a prescription. =)

As for all the methods that involve something sweet, they are using the same principle as the enema by increasing the osmolarity (or salt/sugar) content of the stool thereby drawing water in by diffusion and softening the stool so its easier to pass out. Its similar to the enema or suppository except that those exert a "local" action in the anus and the rest are ingested and the excess undigested sugars move through the gut to produce a similar action. May cause a little gas though. Just thought you might want to know...=)

If Cailyn hasn't pooed for 2-3 days, can try using the suppository/enema and then bulk up her diet with fiber rich food to prevent future episodes. Hope this helps!
 
Gelyn,
u got my sms hor? Let me know if u din, easier to arrange for pick up thru phone.

Grace,
i was isetan member until they change their policy.. cos din wanna pay for subscription fee

All the malls out to "con" our $$ now.. ho ho ho
 
poochi,
you guys self-drive to Genting too? Rem to bring thicker clothes for little hazel, it was raining on sat and the temp dipped to 17 degrees...damn shiok.
 
Hi Plim and lazykat,

me coping ok. Confinement is ok as i still go out once a while. Didnt follow confinement rules like the last time. Which is why i feel 'more comfortable'..

Hi Mambobb,

my sister bot the bullet type of enema from Fu Hua medical. As we started using it on her son before he turns one, we used only half the content. can apply cream, such as drapolene, at he anus before inserting the enema to relieve the pain. do it fast so that it wont be tramautising for her. dont carry her upright immed so that the liquid wont flow out before taking effect.
 
michviv: thanks for all the info.. i think i have the liquid form one from the PD previously. Take 12hrs interval and needs to feed them alot of water. I think I need to give her that tonight if she still doesnt poo today.

I have mentioned to my nanny to feed her fruits everyday liao.. i think today I need to repeat myself to her again. sigh..

I have bought banana for her. hopefully she eat some tonight.

missA: thanks thanks.. will keep a look out for my phone.. heehee =p

btw, how does the intake like huh? everyday once? Is there any instructions on the bottle? heehee.. I can give her the cod fish and Colostrum Powder together?

weishy: me bought Colostrum Powder which contains probatics.. waiting for missA's fren to pass to me
happy.gif
hope it helps cailyn's poopoo...
 
mambobb, i mix 1/2 teaspoon of colostrum powder into FM. Instructions clearly stated on the bottle.

I tried a few methods to feed the CLO most successful when I mix with SAMBUCUS (elderberry, echinacae and propolis) berry flavoured and add a little water and feed with spoon.
 
mambobb,
poor cailyn, just make sure u give her lotsa water... i usually make sure she has apples and water to help her in constipation
 
agree with plim,
i still think lotsa vege n fruits the way to fight constipation, cos cant depend on medication all the time.

plim,
u going hi-tea straight fr yr place on 2 jan? can longbang?
happy.gif
 
michviv,
i think u got to call club med to find out if they allow accompanied toddlers cos mostly the rest of the kids, the parents deposit and go heehee...

lazykat,
i dont know if have to pay fee.. my hubb sub give me. but hor i pay what i spend.. =)
 
anyone's baby using Munchkin waterbottle? I just bought the spongebob one and found that it's VERY HARD to suck water out of it! Anyone faces this problem?
 
lazykat,
if i'm not going out earlier tat day will be going straight from my house... sure, can longbang u provided my hb dun use the car that day... haha... else we can still go together... k?
 
gloomybear, ya i hv the bottle too..HATE IT, cos suppose to be spillproof. so guess that is the cons of it. still stick to the non-spill proof type in the end
 
watwer bottle:hayley;s using the munchkin one(pink and aso blue) no problem le but its abit big so once fill up with water its too heavy for her to handle
happy.gif
 
water bottle: Just bought from kiddy palace today...sigh... $13.90 wasted. I have a hard time drinking from it also.
My mum bought a crawling/crying baby for baby A as well. $13.90 also. Baby A loves it... but after awhile, the baby toy stop crying... spoil liao.. only can crawl. China-made. DUH. Another $13.90 wasted.
 
Mambobb, Michiv: Oppss...I speed read, din know Michiv replied. Hope C poo soon.

Gloomybear: Oh, i almost wanted to get the water bottle for my nephew last weekend. Hmmm...then remove the cover and dun use the straw. Use the bottle and put in yr own straw, else really wasted.

Poissons: G so well behave. I wanna bring E to Genting/malacca, but think we will need quite a few pit stop coz E will make noise after too long.
 
i have the munchkin water bottle (wo straw), it has a beak. I remove the stopper under the cover so everytime I bring out have to let it stand upright else all the water spill out. Are we referring to this same water bottle?
 
missA:mine hv straw...i think they dun carry that in sin but so far oki,quite good and handy
happy.gif


most impt it doesnt spill loooo
 
I got the munchkin water bottle, hvnt used it yet (ppl give it to me one)... I tot it was for older kids to use leh...

This morn, my mum called and told me abt Claire cried while pooing coz her poo too hard. My parents used the ear digger to try to dig out the poo.... My heart really pain when i heard her cry over the phone!
 
cactusnah,
wanted to ask you, where do u usually buy clothes for eagan ah? i want to start shopping for G's CNY clothes liao but dunno where to start. looking for short sleeve shirts.
 
MissA & Plim, dun ask me how my Mum do that! I can only say my Mum is creative and it works!

But once she does that, Claire managed to poo the rest out.... just now, my Mum called and told me that Claire poo 2-3 times again... Faints!
 
K2ye :too dangerous to use the ear digger la,use vaseline and cotton buds la.
poor claire le ,seems like our little ones all having this constipation thingy......
sad.gif


2 to 3 times?????she didnt poop for many days??????
she should be very hhungry after lettign out so much
 
Weishy, Claire very pattern one... Even not constipated, she will like to poo 2-3 times bit by bit instead of 1 time finished one...

My Mum even wants to use toothpick... I know its gross, my Mum told me that the poo was like stuck at the anus there... So she use the ear digger to get them out...

I dunno abt the hungry part coz she is forever a glutton one lor... Anyway, got blasted by my Mum for bringing her out etc etc
 
k@ye: I agree with Weishy that its dangerous to use the ear digger since its made of metal and worse still a toothpick! The last thing you want is to perforate the colon and cause an infection. Those can be very serious since the bacteria from the poo can get into the blood stream. What more, sometimes babies move unexpectedly and can cause a puncture.

But to be fair, Claire's constipation sounds quite bad leh. May need to feed her brown rice porridge from now on? plus have 1 serving of fruits only? If not, can consider the suppository or enema that Mambobb used for Cailyn. If all else fails, you may need to see a doctor for manual evacuation. I know doctors don't use tools to dig out but gloved hands instead. =P
 
missA, mine's the one with the straw. Baby A just learnt how to drink from straw, so thought i buy a bigger bottle for her. Ya, maybe I should just put my own straw like what cactusnah suggested. This non-spill design has a valve in the straw, and no pin-hole opening. So it's practicalling sucking in a vacuum, via a valve! It did states that it's for 2yrs+ toddler.

mummies with constipated babies, do you feed your babies yoghurt everyday? i tihnk it helps.
 
Michviv, the ear digger is wooden one. Sigh, partly my fault also lah... Din feed her fruits during the weekend and let her eat spinach coz spinach got high level of iron... Iron => heaty => leads to constipation!
 
k@ye: me use the cotton bud to dig cailyn's poo out but cannot.. cause its too hard to dig it out.. so she will cry and cry lor..
sad.gif


yest I asked the nanny abt her poo.. she only poo 3 times and 1 small round poo each time.. so I can foresee she will have a hard time to get all the poo out.. and I have fed her small amt of banana yest liao.. hopefully it works abit today lor.. if not I need to feed her the liquid medication to soften her poo liao..

oh ya, asked the nanny on the fruits, she said the fruits not nice.. so didnt buy.. sigh..
kao_cry.gif
 
mambobb: The microlax (enema) is for insertion into the anus and not for eating. You only insert half of the applicator in the anus and squeeze the entire contents in and wait for bowel movement. Dun let Cailyn get up too fast or else it will all leak out.

Dun be sad...you may need to buy the fruits for your nanny instead of counting on her to buy.

k@ye: you're right about the iron and constipation. =)
 
michviv: the liquid medication was provided by the PD when I brought her to see her last month.. ya, I agree on the fruits part.. I think I need to buy the banana, apple and payaya on her behalf liao.. lucky this and nxt week, alot of PH, I can take care of her myself..
 
Hmmm...is it Lactulose? If it is, then its taken by mouth. =)

Dun be too worried k? I'm sure you will be able to get through this phase.
 
Poissons: I usually buy from Okaidi, Fox, Gap, Polo Ralph(My friend in USA) and lotsa hand me down from my nephew who is 6 months older than E. I have yet to shop for his CNY clothes too. Anything nice from Fox? Gotta start shopping soon. Let me know if u find nice clothes, ya.:)
 
Mambobb,
I think yogurt helps, give on alternate days if you dun want to give daily. I got yoplait (not the bb ones) for G.

Catusnah,
Thanks for the info. Where can I find Okaidi? I find Gap too exp leh. Fox sales ok lah, i managed to get 3 tees for G...yah, tees again..his drawers are all bursting with tonnes of clothes. Haha..juz like mummy's!
 
Poissons, Okaidi at Raffles City, level 3! Hehe, my advice dun buy so many clothes for Garreth coz outgrown very fast.. Me also follwing this rule 90% of the time! Haha...

Cactus, u also very willing to spend on Eagan leh... My heart "bleed" when i buy the DPAM jacket for Claire!
 
Poissons: Okaidi & Obadi is at Raffles City Shopping Mall. They have outlets in KL too. U din use the $20 voucher given out during the Baby's Day Out at Hort Park? I have 2 vouchers and i used the voucher to buy E a jeans & a sweater. Very worth it.

T-shirt. Dunno why i find the Fox t-shirt quality not too gd lei. After a few wash, the collar always "jiao jiao". And we handwash all his clothes, still it happens. I prefer to buy shirt for him:)
 
cactus, I rem the voucher. U know they din state whr the shop is located, they thought they very well known. lol. Anyway I also din use the voucher, must be expired by now.
