I think for hygiene purpose and to make myself at ease, i will bring my own bb towel....
So far all my bb jabs are taken at the polyclinic, though they dun have 6 in 1, 5 in 1 is good enuf already. The last 5 in 1 jab she took i only paid $80 plus, cos i got 1 ointment for nappy rash (really good), and 1 ointment for rash on face, and 1 panadol solution (just in case she got fever). Think i will stick to Polyclinic, unless emergency but then again my place got a GP quite good also.
No wonder my SIL told me never to bring bb to PD unless bo pian.

This is what my mom says, she said when the bb is heaty, it will cause a drop in appetite and hence milk intake is not as much as usual.
And my bb has been taking "leng yang" mix with milk like once every week. And barley water is like every other day. Barley is to make her urine clear, and leng yang to lessen her heatiness due to the FM intake.
So far my bb has been doing fine under my mom's care, but under mil...jialat...kana fever twice.
I read from other forums and they said children cannot take too much leng yang cos it will make bb "asthma" heh gu, but then again...my nephews and niece (altogether got 7) oldest is 16 and youngest is 2yrs, so far none of them got it and all are brought up by my mom.

Luvv, my mom has been giving my bb barley water since she is like...a month old. We buy the "Chicken" brand barley from NTUC (its a red colour tin), each time my mom will boil 2 tablespoon of barley with water and in between milk feeds my mom gives bb barley water (dun add any sugar or anything, just plain barley will do). Now my bb drinks her usual 6oz milk (each feed every 4 hrs), on top of that she drinks like 10oz to 12oz of barley/plain water everyday.
And she sure pees alot and so far no constipation, everyday she will poo 2 times. You can try it. Drinking barley water is no harm, sometimes i also drink when my mom make more.

If you want to mix leng yang to the milk, buy a $5 dollar leng yang pack and "double boil" is good enuf already. (when i was young my dad bought the whole leng yang horn and scrape himself...and i always pretend to sleep when its time to drink...cos its so thick...but $5 not that thick. Good to let children start young also, at least they wont resist it when they grow older. My SIL son seldom drink...now 1yr old, he hates drinking these liang teh....and now he always gets sick...everytime is either got sore throat else cough then running nose.

Barley is more for clearing the urine, like when we pee very yellowish right, so to make it clearer, we drink barley. And it makes bb pee alot. I think barley is milder than leng yang. In my own opinion. But when i ask my mom, she said leng yang is better to clear heatiness and faster also. Thats why we only give bb drink one day a week.
No problem, u try barley first.

I was down at Tiny Love's local distributor today to repair my musical mobile. I was surpised to find that they have a very comprehensive products showroom. Actully, the sign on the door said that the showroom is not opened to the public. But I was able to go in to take a look while waiting for their staff.
I saw a lot of stuff from Tiny Love, Nurby, Sassy, Lucky Baby, Capella etc. Much more than from the departmental stores. I have not even seen some of the items in the departmental stores yet. It's like seeing the FULL ranage of stuff from Lucky Baby, Tiny Love and Sassy like that. But since they are the local distributor, I shouldn't be so amazed right? ;P
Anyway, my musical mobile was repaired and I was told that I can actually go to their website to see/ order all their baby stuff.
The showroom is at Chai Chee Lane, Black 514, #06-06. Not sure if it's opened to public. But if it does, it's very nice to drop by to see all the stuff they have there. =) I was told to go there only Sat (10am to 1pm) to repair my musical mobile so I guess they will only entertain public during this time.
Thought of sharing with all of u here. =)

Mom2nat, yup, cos my bb now is almost 100% on FM. Hence giving her plain water/barley and the occasional leng yang will actually make her less getting heaty easily.
I understand alot of PD will tell mommies that giving plain water is unneccesary for breastfed babies. But its more to letting bb "getting used" to plain water by giving them rather than having a hard time introducing plain water in the later stage.
At first i also did not give plain water when she was breastfed, then when mom gave her 1oz of plain water, she spit everything out, that is when i decided that giving her plain water earlier is better than waiting for her to grow older.
Its actually all up to individual.

I thought usually for 6-in-1 dose is about $150 which is inclusive of consultation fee? =( But I must agree docs nowadays are really expensive.
Btw, any idea if the 2nd dose is going to be more expensive than the first one? or the same?
I will be bringing my son for his 2nd dose coming Fri. Not sure how much will it cost. Hope not too much. =(
Actually some people told me can bring to polyclinic for jabs. But I am a bit reluctant at this stage as I hate to Q and I will like to look for the same doc for my son's physical assessment each time.
But when my son hits 1, I intend to bring him to GP for normal cough and cold (touch wood) if required. Every time go PD, very expensive =(
Nowadays everything also expensive. Rice, oil, petrol, flour.. n the list just goes on n on...

Mom2nat,
The medicine which your gal took and my #1, sama, sama..His former PD also recommended Singulair to prevent asthma. Took for almost a year till last September. recently asked his new GP to give the prescirption, just bought from Guardian yesterday. 2 weeks supply = $48..
I brought my boy to see a specialist at KKH for his small size. He was prescibed with Keitotifen to imrpove his appetite (althought the medicine is mainly used to treat cough, lung etc). KKH charged me $3 for each bottle. Not sure if size is the same as yours.
Actually, your consultation and injection is quite normal. Your medicine is expensive.
Some PD does prescribe medicine which GPs would not normally carry. Hence they can charge a "premium", like my previous PD
Which Kinderclinic do you go to?

Good to know. =) Oh yes, once blockage is gone, pumping will be smooth sailing.
KKH too far for me. =( I stay in the west so my PD is only 5 bus stops away, just next to my mum's house.
Take things easy when u first go back to work. I was quite blur for the first 2 weeks, but things slowly get back on track. Pumping is quite a mad rush every day. I only managed to pump twice at work. But supply is ok so far. So u don't worry ya.

heat rash
Can I ask how does heat rash looks like? Noticed that my son has small patches on redness on his cheeks, neck and back today. Don't know if it's because of the heat or the milk (EBM) bath I gave him this morning.
EBM bath
Anyone gave their darlings milk bath using EBM? I tried it today. Goosh, smelled fishy. =S So I rinsed my son after the bath. After the bath, I also noticed some red patches on his cheek, neck and back. Could it be he is allegic to my EBM??

I go to Paragon. The ketotifen this time is Asumalife $10 a bottle. The previous she took was Dhatifen. Yours v cheap leh, only $3. Tat time Nat took Singular but this PD din recommend yet. Faint leh, so costly your boy took for 1 yr??
Yah, I oso tot the consultation and injection quite standard leh. I used to go to Rivervale mall's PD. COnsultation $55, queue so long! Then PD like rushing. My hb oso say wait until fedup, and so hard to get appt, need to book way in advance or walk in. If walk in, wait v v long. And cough see her 3 times, cost me $400 in total, oso not cheap.

I think the 2nd jab shold be the same price. The poly clinic is outside my house only leh. But I heard the vaccine is not tat "pure"... anyway I prefer to have a PD access my baby oso.

Mom2nat,
Ya lor..Took Singulair for 1 year cos PD claims can prevent my son from asthma and my son is always having running nose. I don't know how I "dong" this PD for so long. Everytime, my boy falls ill, must see him at least twice ($120 each time). He always gives his patients medicine filled in small plastic bottles. At least at Kinderclinic, they give you medicine in original packaging.
I told my hubby about your bill. His eyes also popped out and even asked if doc did any testing.
My #2 sees Dr Kumar. What about yours? I also standby another PD at Bishan (not fantastic but better than the previous one).
My Ketotifen is actually Dhatifen (just went to check).

i intend to bring Zander to see PD for his 2nd 6in1 jab this friday too! Will book appointment at 2pm. What time is yours? Cost for 2nd dose will be the same as 1st dose. This time, i will let my son take rotavirus. Hopefully aft jab wont trigger fever otherwise jialat...cos these few weekends, he fuss & cry before bedtime! This can battle for few hours (from 9PM...until 12.30PM!!!) Me & hubby so damn exhausted & stress
re: heat rash
i also not sure how heat rash look like. I also noticed some red patches on Zander's cheeks & neck too. For his cheeks, we suspect is milk rash cos he likes to rub his mittens against his cheeks/face & when without mittens, he suck his fingers...full of saliva & then rub his cheeks! We have to keep wiping his hands & face frequently with a wet towel.Sighz*

When I brought Zach for his 1st injection, my first choice PD at Bishan was not around. Since I'm there, thought let the partner do the injection. The partner really made my blood boil. Not excited about babies, briefed me about the injection like principal. My mum was with me and she didn't understand English, she so asked some questions. PD gave me that "Oh my god! Must I repeat myself! look" I did the translation and prayed for everything to go smoothly in the room. After I stepped out, I told myself I will never see her again.
In SK, see any GP/PD must queue like mad. You should see the queue at the polyclinic. Even if I go in very early, my queue number is also very far.

Hi, steph.
I also just took my girl to GP for 2nd jab of 6-in-1. Also worried about fever as my girl nowadays will fuss from 7pm onwards. It seems like she refuses to sleep & wants people to play with her (even though she is tired). Then my mum asked me to feed her with the fever medicine immed after the jab to prevent fever (not wait until her fever hits 37.5 degrees then feed her). I did & she did not have fever like the 1st time. Easier this way too. Don't need to monitor her temperature that much.

Eee... I dun like PDs like tat, I call them no EQ, I dun lke pple like tat. I prefer those who can patiently listen to me and analyse and explain.
I heard the poly clinic queues are all v bad lah. I can actually ask my maid go take number then I go down later, but I prefer not to go there. The good thing is consultation is v cheap.

Mom2nat,

My son is a premmie, now K1. Until today, his weight and height is still on the 3rd percentile. I got a bit worried when I saw his peers in school, scared it might affect his self esteem. Premmies got to go for annual development checkup at SGH / KKH, so I got the PD to refer me to the endrinocologist at KKH. When I got to KKH, the specialist worked out a complicated growth chart and said that my son is doing fine, except his weight. That's why he recommended Keitotifen, mainly used to treat cough/ lung infection. However, studies show kids reported improvement in appetite after taking it. Specialist assured us that it is safe to take.
For your son, you really need to consult your PD.

Kelly,
Can't remember cos he was referred from SGH, so considered as C class.
I brought him to the endrinocologist cos I was wondering he needs hormones injection to booster his growth. If need to, got to start monitoring his growth now.
You can always ask your PD whether your child can take Keitotifen and see what she says. Even the PD at SGH says my son is growing well at 3rd percentile.

Mom2nat,
i seen that No EQ PD before, cannot stand him.. so just 1x then I decided to stick to the PD that checked Xavier during my delivery.
violetice,
i bought a canon camcorder at $899, not the harddisk kind cos I heard harddisk crash means change whole thing. I buy the ones with mini DVD.

hi mylife,
the 6in1 jab includes the hep b jab. if i m not wrong, the 3rd dose dose must be the 6in1 cos the 3rd dose of hep b is during the child's 6th mth. ur gal's next jab is during her 6th mth rite?
u understand wad i mean rite?

Hi, long tim no hear from u here. How are u ah? =)
I have booked for this Fri 9:15am. We want to go there first time in the morning to avoid the crowd. Also, if take jab in the morning and have fever later on, still have time to react.
Like krystle, I also gave my son 1 feed of the fever med after his first dose of 6-in-1. That was when I noticed my son seem to be a bit warm, but not exactly having fever. My hb was concern about the med, but I want to play safe though.
Aiya, my son is a dirty baby. Like yours, will suck his fingers. Saliva all over the mouth and then he will wipe his eyes and face. Really horrible. =S If he is in nursery or kindergarden now, he will the first one to get hand foot mouth disease! *LOL*
blackbatz & mom2nat
Aiya, I HATE docs like that. Pay so much still have to bear with their 'attitude'! I also prefer doc who is patient and will answer my questions without making too much fuss.
Lucky the PD, Dr Heng, which Steph recommends me is nice and patient. He is the only doc I know so far who greets me and my mum in mandarin! When I ask him questions, he will answer patiently. I know some docs hate to answer questions as they think we SHOULD know it. These are the kind of docs I will avoid too. =(

Mylife,
About this Pantene thingy..I read from another thread that it was selling for HK250 for the whole set at Hannings.
That BP organiser was very unhappy about the bad publicity.
Where can we buy this in HK? Colourmix/Sasa? Are staying at this place called Elements cos there was a writeup about this place on last Saturday LianHeZaoBAo.
Happy training your new maid. It's weird but it will free up the time for you and your mum to spend more time with BB.
