babycupid and felicia,

dunno is it accurate cos milk sometimes drip on his lips area too but his chin also has leh.

can be quite serious at times, on and off one. recently apply tis brand mustela on him and its working but slowly. however fast results one are always those steriod cream which i am avoiding. my MIL even ask me to apply the steriod cream when he has serious flare up but me n my hb dun care cos we dun want to apply any more steriod on him. i didn't give my mil the steriod cream, luckily. i only gave her the mustela.

he had tis prob since end of 1st mth. at first we tot is baby pimples. see 2 pd but they said is baby pimples. then last mth take to jab then pd say is eczema, then we know is due to allegy. then i still dunno, go eat crab and prawns etc cos his allegy to be worse cos i breastfeed, my diet will affect him.
 
janiviy, he's drinking at 3-4hrly interval... v little hor? max max he will drink is abt 140 only...

i cut his nails every 2-3 days... grow long v fast.. is it becos he sucks at them? hahahha
 
ellysia,
ohh.. did u try the california bb cream? candula or duno wat.. i heard not bad too.. but i nvr try b4.. only face rite? hands those ok?
 
ellysia,
ohh issit.. sign of teething ar.. hmm.. yd tried to see his gums hor.. the upper gum looked quite red.. below normal.. is sign of teething oso rite?
 
babycupid,

if he fuss and u can't pacify, try teething gel.

i tried tat california cream liao, no use. his hands and legs also have but at crease area.
 
BabyCupid,
240ML for how many feeds? if is 4, then 240ML x 4 = 1 day consume 960ML of milk.

janiviy,
My bb intake drop from 1000+ to 700+ for around 2mths already but surprising she still gaining weight
 
sharon,
i cant remmeebr shld be 5feeds.. tontie go home check..

ellysia,
where to get the teething gel? and wat brand is gd? he nvr fuss so far..
 
bleh...
dun stress over ur boy's milk intake...i used to worry too when my gal drinks little...as long as he's feeding well and active...not to worry much!

i also cut her nails every 2-3 days if not she will leave scratches on her face left rite centre lolz...see liao also dunno want to laugh or cry
 
<font color="aa00aa">bleh, my ger is taking the most 140ml now oso. So no worry!

Ellysia,
Same lor. my bb also got Eczema. Must be very careful with her skin especially her face. Must be clean otherwise those spot appear.

On Wednesday when we bring her out shopping her face still swee swee one. no spot at all. Smooth like tofu. Then later in the evening those spot appear. Must be our clothes not clean enough or her hands dirty she rub her face.

Let me make some noise here. It could be her hands dirty that causes the scary spot appear. Happen that when we where eating, the waitress touch her hand then to her cheeks!! I was like ... How to tell her not to touch? I never voice out just let her touch the most i wipe bb hand. Wipe liao come again touch. Angry!

With a sensitive skin baby really hard to maintain. But so far I apply 1 lotion her spot will disappear the next day. I think it contain steriod too. But doc mention as long as we apply does not exceed 3tub/day is ok.
 
ellysia,
oh yes.. saw the redness.. quite red frm the 2nd pic.. have to be bery clean lor.. they will be better when older?
 
Sharon,

yup. same, got waitress see him cute also touch face. how to tell not to touch.. wat to do.

for me i find v hard to maintain clean. esp he touch touch then eat his hand then rub his face all over. i find it worsen at nite. day time sometimes swee swee then night time horrible. mittens got to keep changing and cannot remove mittens else he will scratch his face then worsen the problem.

actually the detergent use also can cause sensitive. try not to use too much detergent. nowadays i put a little only.

the worst ting is dust mite, which is v hard cos i have no time to do his laundry and clean so many areas.

now wat i do is to open his room windows during weekends and air it. then i intend to get humifier cos his skin cannot go too dry. everyday bathe using special bath (for sensitive skin) given by pd, then put bb moisturer. then apply mustela 3 times a day. change his bedsheet once a week. wash our hands regularly when carry him. change his mittens often. i have to buy a lot of mittens. the application of cream is most tedious bec he will rub his face after i apply the cream and he will eat his mittens. nowadays i am lazy, he eat i dun care liao.. last time i usu apply when he is asleep and have to ask hb to hold his hand while i apply..but i give up cos he will touch his face no matter wat..dun let him touch he will cry and dun want to sleep.

steriod cream, my hb's doc fren say although pd always say its safe but still it is no good so try to avoid using it.

babycupid,

read articles tat it will go away when bb reach 6mths to 1 year old.
 
sharon,

yr one is a gal..tink really have to protect her face lor..
my comfort is he is a boy so still not so bad..but hope won't left any scar.
my hb have bad bb pimples when young, i suspect also eczema..then it left scar until now still have.
 
as long as he is growing well lor.. but cos he's not putting on enough weight, so i'm a little worried.

but he's v v smiley one.. sometimes see liao feels so heartwarming.. hahaha
 
Hello mummies!

Thanks for the compliment! My gal is on total bf, so I have no idea how much she drinks now. I also dunno how come she can grow so big so fast. Looks cute but very jia lat to take care, can't even have time to surf net, some more carry until my wrist very siong. That is why I can't reply very promptly.

Now can have a bit of time a day since she has less nose block issue and can sleep longer now.

Janivity, about the camera, I use Canon IXUS.

Felicia, my gal is 1 day younger than yours

LeeMay, my gal is 8.4kg now, totally overweight, but I can't do much about it.

FeiFei, I have no idea how much she drinks now, thinking to switch to bottle soon because she has been biting me recently, luckily no teeth yet but still painful.

ioio, it is ok to say my gal looks like your boy boy. I used to it already, because from the 1st day onwards, ppl will ask me "boy ah", even though I dress her in pink
happy.gif
including the confinement lady when she 1st saw her, even though I already told her that I have a bb gal. That is why I love to dress her in little skirt, so that she won't look so boyish

Ellyisa,
Ur boy so cute hor....u bot the tray for e bumbo seat separately huh?

Huggy,
It will take sometime for ur get to get used to bottle wor..
 
huggy, ur ger ger dun look like boy lah.. jux tt look a bit like my boy.. boy n ger k look alike as bb's look no gender diff one :p
 
Ellysia,
Wah.. ur boy more difficult to maintain. Btw, last time my girl wear mittens her face won't recover. Ur boy stretch face due to itchy? For my bb, I try not to let the environment be warm. I notice when the environment is warm, her spot will be very red compare in aircon room. So far her Eczema being control by the lotion. All thanks to it otherwise my bb will be a ugly girl.

Oh ya. I have the lotion now. It is called Desowen Lotion. Maybe u check with the doc whether can ur bb use this.
 
Hi gers,
Moo mooing..

Thanks for all the advice in transporting EBM back. I read the thread.. Too much planning to do. I have no time liao. Flying off tomorrow night but luckily the trip is only 2 days. Will be back on Tuesday afternoon. I will be buying a fridge-to-go. Will freeze the EBM in the hotel and try to bring back as much as possible. If not, have to throw lor.

I have checked with the airline too. Can only express in the toilet while on the flight, but they can help to store the milk. Since it is only a short trip, even if the frozen EBM thraw can still use, expecially the 2nd day ones, since EBM can store in fridge up to 48 hours.
happy.gif


The airline does not allow the EBM onto plane, so I will have to check in cargo. I hope all things move smoothly.
 
Morning gers,
I am flying off tonight... I think I am v.tired &amp; stress over the trip. My milk ss seems to have drpped since this morning. Sob! I dun want to dry up after the trip!

Feifei,
There are so many different kind, which one are you getting? Uncomfortable or not? Yup, will be getting the fridge to go this evening. I already have ice packs. Will be struck in the office until 4.30pm today. -.o" I am flying to Quatar, in the middle east wor.

nss,
Taka got. The baby stuff floor.. It is located amidst the toys.
 
feifei,

thks for compliment. table comes together with bumbo seat. whole set cost $130.

huggy,

u have to scold yr bb whenever he bites, but dun scold too fierce just said firmly then stop feeding. tats my colleagues teach me, after a few scoldings then the bb will get the message that cannot bite. i have a few colleagues nurse throughout 1 year plus and beyond.

Well bought BB nicole to KKH for a detailed check about her close hole (labia Adhesion). The surgeon PD in charge straight cut her up! I was too shocked to react.. so just oh oh. Its a very simple and fast procedure. Just apply antiseptic cream around her V area to be cut &amp; leave for about 5-10mins. The PD use a steriliser metal paper clip, while me &amp; 1 nurse try to hold her. Lucky she didnt cry out loud, only slight angry tears BUT for mi... I feel damn heart pain. I never feel such way.. Lucky no blood for her.
So need to apply cream (contain steroid) for about 1week and after that must continue wash &amp; open up twice a day. Will follow up 1 month later.

I have ask the doctor about some cases of using cream to open it. She told me do it while bb is still young and with 1-2weeks of proper care it will not close up. So within this 1 month is the most important period. After the cut, her 1st urine will be more painfully. Just make sure hygiene is there. She told me using cream to apply may not really open up and may just drag..

BB nicole consider v brave... She bit cranky lo and I have been carrying her whole day till aching. Lucky my #1 she will say meimei pain pain and keep sayang her... My heart hurts whenever I wash BB wound
sad.gif
Hope she will recover fast..

Just a kind reminder, mummies with bb girl, try to look out for this problem. Mayb get PD to do the check as I know some PD or doctor doesn't do the private check..

Discover early better as if the hole is not open, it may trap urine and cause serious UTI. (this what the surgeon told me )
 
cynthia,

Wah...cut her up? no blood? Nicole must be very brave..and if i were you..faint liao. Hmm..must get my pd to check there,...coz I don't remember the pd opening her V to check.
 
janiviy,
Ya I am surprise no blood and doctor say the most only bit bit. She told me bb is young so their skin recovery is very fast. But need to take proper care and does not let it close up.
I have other friends with bb girls saying sometime pd didnt bother to open and check.. Some told me will slowly auto open up. I think may depends on cases bah. No harm getting the doctor to check since already there
happy.gif
 
Cynthia,
Can feel ur heartache.
This morning trying to cut my gal's fingernail but accidentally cut a bit of her flesh... She wails... So guilty... So careless of me.
 
Moo moo-ing.. Last time before I grab a cab to airport. The next time will be in the air. Haha. Havent fly &amp; I miss my bb liao. Took lots of pix of her justy now. ;p

Cynthia,
The pd never open up and check there leh.. If he doesnt check, how to tell him too. So pai seh..
