eRnMum,
That's what most people say, the 1st & 2nd child are usually opposites. Someone mentioned here before, if 1st child very guai, most likely 2nd one will be difficult. Come to think of it, my elder sis and my character are the exact opposites. She's the stubborn one and I'm the guai guai one....hahaha.

Yvonne,
I was the one who raised the 1st & 2nd child are usually opposites. But not always lah - in general, EVERY child is different.
eRnMum, try your best. If still no success, can ask PD for iron supplement if you worry. Nowadays a lot more easier than when our older generation.

TongTong,
Yup, i gave him paracetemol cos his body is really burning hot last nite. My mum told me so far he is back to normal temp now. keep my finger cross *_*
Btw, which brand of millet u bot? Was thinking i can't feed multigrain cereal which is too heaty now, should I change to millet? Millet is "liang" will cause cough or not? Xian men, too heaty scare kana fever, too liang scare kana cough. Haiz, think drink milk better!!

yup, millet is xiao mi, which is very liang. my gal just recovered from her cough and my MIL keep reminding me not to give her for the time being.
so stressful as too heaty cannot, too liang also cannot. make me so stressed these days as I have to be very careful since my husband is asthma case when he is young. n my gal just recovered from her one month of flu n cough! so my MIL keep reminding this and that. basically, I got alot of "rules" to follow..keke.

Heaty and cooling food
I do believe certain food is heaty and other is cooling. But I don't think we can/should link heaty food to fever. The only worry for heaty food is it may cause constipation, and not fever. Fever is a not an illness but it's a sign that the body is fighting with some foreign antigen, e.g., bacteria/viral infection. If fever subsided, meaning the body has successfully fight the foreign antigen and recover. If fever keeps going up, meaning the body is unable to fight the antigen and needs to take med (eg, antibiotic) to help. Cutting down solid won't help fighting the fever. And you should immediately call for doctor if you observe other signs (vomitting, diarrhae, cough, etc) besides fever.

janbb,
why dont u make yr own cereal?
for me, my MIL teach me to make bee gor. (1 tablespoon of white brown rice, 1/2 tablespoon of red long brown rice, 1/2 tablespoon of millet, together with 8 tablespoon of water) make nutritious and yummy cereals/porridge for my gal. on top of that, i will add in toufu, carrot, pumpkin etc (1 tablespoon puree) into the bee gor. My gal has been having that instead of off the shelf cereal.
i mix n match the different type of rice according to her health (whether she is heaty or cold)

the red long brown rice is very nutritous.

thanks for reading the info. I know it's hard for some mummies, as they have elderly to help out. Elderly usually said this cannot that cannot (many a time without a good reason). I send my boy to infant care, the centre don't have all these "superstitious" thingy, and I take care of my baby by myself at night and weekend. So I can implement my own "modern-ish" way (only listen to my mum if it's reasonable). Whenever I have a problem or an issue, I need to know why are the reasons behind, and what options I have to solve the problem, and don't follow blindly (of course there are times I am desperate that don't mind to try anything). My hubby always say I am too strict-minded and boring, as I have very little tolerence for unplan surprises I can't imagine if I live with my parent-in-law, I think I will move out the next day!

Fake measles
I had that too when I was an adult, but not many, only 6-7 on my arms and legs. No wonder my dermatologist was so surprised, not itchy at all, just looks weird so I went to see him.
Mylife, please PM me your address.

Hi,
Hope that all bb's recover soon. My boy recovered from runny nose not long ago too.
My boy is REALLY active, I just can't leave him alone. Every time i turn my head, he is up to something. Yesterday, he peeled off chipped wood from an old cupboard (which i never noticed) and chewed on it. I was shock when I saw it, as there's splinters on the wood. Some more smile at me ever so innocently when i saw him. Sigh... gotta watch him all the time. We have been constantly baby proofing our place and still he always finds something dangerous to meddle with.
Btw, I will be attending both gathering.
Mylife, I have PM-ed you.

re: make & sell baby food
>> oh totally not worth it for me. i was making the green pea puree at 2am... the last stage - passing the mixture thru the sieve - was the killer. But my baby can't take the skin.. he'll gag. After a loooooong time, almost the entire pkt of green peas, i only came up with 1 chinese bowl of puree, which fit into a Heinz jar (the tall one), which Cold Storage sells for under S$2. For all that effort, minus the price of the pkt of peas.... *pengsan*
hey shannonbaby
what about i leave my boy with u, then u feed him your yummy stuff while i go happening???

According to my HR (not official yet though), the note they got from the authority said that the additional 4 days unconditional cc leave and the additional 1 month ML is only for MARRIED mummy. While previously it said for female staff. But this new thing they esp mentioned for married staff. HR asked to provide marriage cert in order to enjoy the benefit. Funny right, wouldn't that the single mum needs more leaves to care for thier children, and don't you think this is discriminative against single mum? So sad for them.

morning mummies,
wendyg,
i am busy enough with one baby. dont think i want another one in my house to handle, though i welcome mummy n baby to come to my house..keke
luca,
My gal eats bee gor everyday since she is 6 mths old. She has no prob with it.
for example, if she is having fever (*touchwood*), i will give her more millet instead of red long grain brown rice.
when she is down with flu n cold (*touchwood*), I will give her red long grain brown rice instead of millet, mix with the short grain brown rice.
So i just mix n match the different type of rice depending on her health. I am lucky that my MIL know alot abt diff type of rice grain n fruits etc,as she read up on it, so I will just ask her when I have doubts.
Used to stock up on commercial cereal but I seldom use them at all, so decided to sell them away since homecooked cereal (bee gor) is more nutritious than commericial one.
