<font color="aa00aa">sharon,
did u check wif yur PD if bb jaundice lvl is due to BM? cos i was told tat there is "real" jaundice - tat's lungs not developed fully yet & there is "BM" jaundice - tat's jaundice cos by bb feeding on BM. my bb then was suffering from BM jaundice & PD taught us the way to bring down her jaundice lvl (which keeps increasing) then was to stop total BF & keep her on FM. after 2 days, bb jaundice lvl drops very drastically, then we put her back to BM but she now on BM in the day & FM at nite to keep the jaundice lvl at bay. am told tat latest by 9th wks, bb lungs wld be fully matured n jaundice will auto disappear. maybe u wan find out more from your PD to c which jaundice is bb sharon having & it will helps u to tackle the situation better?

Priscilla, a friend who attended TMC antenatal class shared with me not to use baby powder in case powder gets into bb's nose. Maybe those mothers who attended TMC antenatal class can clarify on this. I only bought baby lotion, to moisturize the dry parts of bb, like insides of elbows, etc, and to try prevent diaper rash. If baby lotion doesn't work, I'll need to buy barrier cream. my friend's daughter has very sensitive skin. she uses a Johnson's barrier cream. apparently can only be bought from KK hosp. Her mom works at KKH and buys it for her. She delivered at TMC.

Priscilla, I don't know you know... I plan to just use baby lotion on the infolds of bb's skin, that's all. but plan to use a little bit of edible veg oil for normal massage on other parts of bb's body. as long as bb doesn't develop rash or sensitivity lah. I think if you plan to give bb massages, best is to check if the massage oil you use is bb safe, esp if bb consumes it. For example, most nipple creams are bb safe.. no need to wipe/wash off befor ebreast feeding.

I'm intending to use the diaper rash cream only (Drapolene). I was thinking for bb massage, I will use J&J oil or their lavender lotion.

Ops talking abt msn wif Ellysia, last nite, for the first time, i feel cramp-like pain for half. And the tummy like grinding, dunno issit starting to adjust for contraction. Then i was tinking, dun tell me so zhun when msn Ellysia, kena already..wahaha
Cactus
Y'day i tried one piece without the Citrus Acid at all. It still hardens like the rest wif CA. So it's nt the CA tat hardens. I tink CA just gives the fruity flavours tat usu found in can fruits or drinks. So still can pass CA if wnt to.

morning ladies!
nipple cream:
i think no need to buy leh. i bought liao also no use. just use your breastmilk to moisturise the area is sufficient. at least it works for me.
powder/lotion/oil:
i initally wanted to use powder coz my baby not sleeping in air con. I scared she's sweaty. but i realised no need. in fact, my CL only apply some J&J baby oil on her after bath to moisturise her.
diapers/wipes:
my ger really poo and wee a lot. so diapers and wipes use a lot. need to stock up a lot of wipes. I did not stock enough. have to ask hubby to go and buy.

bb hiccupping for more than 15min in the tummy, is that a norm?
How do we know bb movement in the tummy is consider reducing? Now, he don move as much as last month. Even move, also a little bit. But after I knock on my tummy, he might react a bit then no more. Consider reducing?

Grace, yah. I follow my h b to work these days.. since Monday. Will prob do so till I pop!!
Connie, yes, it's normal. bb hiccuping is a sign of healthy and good growth. bb is exercising his lungs, my doctor told me. Different doctors have different methods to monitor bb's movements. maybe you want to check with your doctor if your bb is moving less? My bb is moving less and no longer kicking or boxing. now more of stretching and shifting and nudging or sliding a leg against my tummy. I would say his movemnets are slightly reduced in terms of frequency but I'm not too concerned yet.

From antenatal n books i read, try to avoid putting baby powder, especially Talc. Actually even when we shower baby, dun really need to use soap/bath foam. But if we wnt for smell purpose, just a small tiny drop. The reason is baby skin is natural n moist and all these products are commercially manufactured. Actually i only bgt the Mothercare bath foam just for smell (nw promo, buy 2 get 1 free, cheap) n use a drop. I dun get the lotion, powder, etc.. perhaps when their immune stronger later bah

<font color="aa00aa">Priscilla, do not use sesame oil on bb belly button.
During my #1, my mil oso put the sesame oil on my girl's belly button and i did question her. Like ur mil, she said is prevent water from entering, but i somehow feel uncomfortable. But luckily when we paid visit to the PD after 1st week of delivery, the PD smelled the sesame oil and asked my mil and told her this will cause infection. Then my mil stop applying it. *Heng ah*
Anyhow, PD will give u some antiseptic wipe and some powder form thing to apply on bb belly button, so dont use the sesame oil.</font>

sigh... dats the prob with the older generation... there are so many things they "believe" in and will insist that we follow. and when questioned the reason why we shld do those, they cannot tell us a logical explanation. i kena so much of these during my confinement with #1 and that was wat strained our relationship.
Felicia
Tks for the info.... I also not very comfortable with using sesame oil for baby...
Have already told her that doc will be giving medicine for it... think will bring MIL along when visiting the PD... let her ask whatever she wants to ask... else she will not listen lor...
I only afraid that her opinion and CL opinion will clash lor.... She always have her own thinking and she always think that she is rite...

ladies, just a question to ask.. last time birth control pills unsafe right? have alot of side effects.. but does anyone know if birth control pills marketed in the recent years are safer? I was just thinking again about my SIL. I know she had been taking those pills for many years (about 4 years) before her #1 miscarriage.. then her #2, and her #3 is abnormal... she's very young leh. my age only. She miscarried at 24 and abnormal bb at 28.
TF...
i had a BIG issue with my MIL over DOM the other time. She kept asking me EVERYDAY to drink DOM. I keep giving her the SAME reply "no... i dun wan cos bfg..." but EVERYDAY she will keep asking me. until i sibeh fed-up and one day, i cldnt take it anymore and i shouted back at her.
anyway, a few mths back, she kept asking me abt DOM again. i told her i dun wan to drink. and guess wat she said "oh then wat u wan to drink? whisky?" till this day, my ans to her is still NO.

Cactus, that's very early. But it good for the baby sleep early. 
So tomorrow do you need to work or yours is a 5day work?
So tomorrow do you need to work or yours is a 5day work?Felicia, TF, even when I quote 'Doctor' to my MIL about my son, she wont listen one. She always want me to spend $$ (consultation & cab)bring son down to PD again and hear it for herself even though she know the PD speaks english which she does not understand. What to do, entertain her sometimes lor, but very small matters then will tell her its small matters, since she has 20 over yrs childcare experience how can she dun noe? Then this will zip her mouth.
Cactus, ginger is best not to be consume alot even though we preggie, coz may attributes to jaundice.

Cactus, actually ginger part also cannot take too much when preggie. As slice in cooking ok. The reason is if we get too heaty, our baby will be too Yang in future. Tat wat hapen to my hubby. His liver always gets very heaty.
Regarding birth control pill, no matter hw safe, there's still element of chemical tat i still prefer to think smtx researchers may nt have found out the effect on babies. So usu, they will advice to stop the pill at least 6 mths (i tink) b4 u plan for pregnancy, i guess to let the toxic clear off first.
Soyabean, sound familiar but i knw my MIL will keep asking me like yours did. I even intend if she dump me too much of the wine thingy, i going to gv my mum drink n pu my mum for her rhumatism..haha
