Added u to msn.
Have you let Maia to drink from the bottle? I managed to get bb Jaret to finally drink from the Pigeon bottle after kena rejected Avent and Dr.Brown.

MLP, for avent teat, last time got 2 types whereby one is used for regular bottles and the other type is used for the disposable nurser (but was discontinued by Avent). See pic in the link http://www.selfexpressions.com/avdinu3.html
Another type of Avent teat is the variable teat http://www.consumer.philips.com/consumer/en/gb/consumer/cc/_productid_SCF635_27_GB_CONSUMER/Teat+SCF635-27

Jenny, for my big boss when he was a bb, I got poke holes in the new unused Avent teat when he upgrade to a higher flow (teat flow #1 - 1 hole, #2 - 2 holes, teat #3- 3 holes etc) Otherwise the new teats wasted leh.
 
<font color="aa00aa">Xris, i had added u in my skype. Do come in here often when u r in Tokyo then we can chat chat.

nss, u use needle to poke hole? Coz i realised Avent teat very hard, easy to poke?</font>

Mornin...
Felicia, how much did you pay for rotavirus and 6 in 1 ? given in yishun polyclinic?
my next visit is next month...3mths jab.
 
<font color="aa00aa">Riz, nope. My ger rota and 6 in 1 was given in private PD clinic at Malaysia as tat time i was still on my maternity leave and hvnt come bak here. We paid RM270.
But this coming 2nd jab, we'll let her take in singapore but yet decide which clinic to go.

Ur baby 1st jab was given at which clinic?</font>
 
Felicia..wah i am confused with this jabs..
sad.gif

she had 2 jabs at hospital (BCG &amp; HepA 1st dose)
Next jab given when she was 1mth..hep 2nd dose..tis comin 3mths will hv another jab..i dono wats tat..
i ask the nurse abt the 5in1 &amp; 6in1 ..she say we can see wat we want when we bring her tis monday for the 3mths jab... :eek:
i am totaly confused wif wats 5in1 and 6 in1..wats the difference?
 
<font color="aa00aa">Riz, for my ger , i'm letting her taking 6 in 1. I know if u given ur ger hepa 2nd dose on her one mth old, then u r choosing 5 in 1 oredy. Coz for 6 in 1, the hepa will be taken after 6weeks old. Tat means for 6 in 1, hepa is include inside the 6 in 1 jab. If i remember, correctly, the PD told me 6 in 1 jab had 2 jabs lesser than 5 in 1. This is oso the reason i chose 6 in 1, coz dont want my ger poke so many times. I heartpain.</font>
 
morning ladies!

rizty,
rotavirus not available at polyclinic. I went to a GP fo all the jabs at sembawang. this GP quite good with kids. rotavirus i paid around 95. something like that.
 
Felicia, yep i used needle to poke. But there was a time my bbsitter used scissor to cut, i was jumping mad.

dreeym,i express 3x at work, ot easy cos cannot MIA for too long, initially vol dropped, but i express as well as latch on at home to make up. Let's Jia You together

<font color="aa00aa">iamsnow, your baby was taking 6 in 1 or 5 in 1. How much u paid include the rota? Can give me the clinic name? Coz i'm looking for good PD for my ger coming 3mths 2nd 6 in 1 jab.</font>

morning ladies

ritzy
my gal going to have her 3rd jab this Friday, i have to decide to have 5in1 or 6in1 package or for FREE....my hubby will decide later.
 
morning mummies..
too tired this morning so slept again for another 30 mins...late for public transport hence took cab which costs me a freaking 12 bucks!!! it used to be less than 10 bucks (tats b4 they implement the 35% surcharge)

must save liao...cannot anyhow spend on cabbies. but but i really need tat 30 mins cos after i woke up i feel more refreshed.
 
MLP, the Avent airflex teat can be be used for slow, medium or fast flow. But somehow, last time try for my big boss, he dun like.
 
I dun like avent teat, i find the milk flow is too fast. Actually for those who are bf, dun let yr bb take teat tat flow too fast or else he be impatient to suckle during latching. Its good to latch once or twice a day bec' then the bb has time to "send message" and milk can be adjusted to match bb requirements. according to some articles i read, BM will change according to the needs of bb and latching is the time when bb will "send msg" to breast and thus BM nutrients will change accordingly. this is why some articles said it is not good to depend totally pumping.

Felicia,

The glass bottle i got from hospital i didn't use in the end, too small quantity liao.

iamsnow,

me and hb dun intend to go travel within 1 year cos bu fan xin bb le. won't u miss yr bb if u go overseas?
 
Jenny,

Milk bottles if sterilise too often shd be thrown away after some time cos its made of plastic.. i saw a TV program b4 suggesting to throw after few mths of use.
 
ellysia...
issit? which means we have to change the bottles after how long? wats the timeframe like?

like tat meaning got to buy new bottles?
 
Riz,

PD clinic explain tat if want to take jab, recommend to take Hep B jab on 2nd mth then take 5-in-1 at 3rd mth cos 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 jabs both got fever risk. Then he said 3mth old take jabs will be safer, so tell us to let bb take hep B first then 3mth then take 5-in-1.
 
ioio,

do yr MIL call u directly or talk through yr hb?

For me my MIL dun have my hp no i tink.. she always call my hb if need be. If i worry abt bb i will ask hb to call back to check.

shycloud,

i got a couple of bf problems during ML and sometimes in the middle of night i surf internet to find solution. tired n painful cos can't sit too long.
 
felicia,
I took the rotavirus at GP. not PD. the GP I go is at sembawang mrt, beside 7-11. The clinic name is 7-11 sembswang station. something like that. Tel: 67557115. there are a few doc rotating duties. look for dr liau. he very good with kids. the rest of the doc not so good with kids. just like normal GP.

feifei,
the GP ask me to give rotavirus during the 1st 6in1 jab liao. he say better. he himself got 3 young kids. I think he knows best... hee hee...
 
Felicia,Ellysia,Danryan...so i shld be taking 5 in 1 tis monday la...aiyo..too many liao..dono wat is wat..oni know they kp poking our bbs so often :x...
but te nurse told me to choose either 5in1 or 6in1 during the 3rd mth ..&amp; ask me to take te 2nd dose HepB..?!!funny leh..duno she blur or i blur..theres jus so many types of jabs..pity te bb hor
sad.gif
 
feifei,

yup but not in 1 - 2year, no cash and can't leave bb here too.

shycloud,

My bb got nipple confusion initially. Then my milk flow is also v slow but i tot is milk ss low. end up realise is milk flow slow. v pei chey at tat time. i almost want to give up bf then milk ss come in, but i gradually reduce FM until no need FM.
 
<font color="aa00aa">ellysia, i suppose the milk bottle which need to be throw away after using for certain period is those non BPA bottles. If you're using BPA bottle, i think do not need to change so frequent, but for how long i'm not too sure.
Anyhow, my #1 is using Dr Brown which is BPA, i still change her bottle after she reach one year old when i found the bottle like bit yellowish.</font>
 
riz,

if u take 6-in-1, u no need to take Hep B jab cos its inside. if u take 5-in-1, have to take separate hep B jab. 6-in-1 is a new jab introduce to singapore (though not new world wide) while 5-in-1 has been introduced for some time ored.
 
felicia,

I didn't check whether the feeding bottles are BPA or non BPA. But i will tink it safer to throw once few mths or 6mths.
 
iamsnow,
Oic..hee...my ger was abit feverish last fri aft taking e 2nd dose of 6in1, then sun we brought her to amk hub, then mon she gana flu liao, took her to see PD that nite...then PD said she look like e precious moments bb dolls *faintz*..haha..

Ellysia,
Really?means after using afew mths of the bottles, need to change new ones liao?
 
ritzy...
i basically just follow the health booklet immunisation schedule..hopefully i can book in advance the following months so tat i can plan my childcare leave...supposed to clear yr end.
 

Ellysia,
yup, after she took e jab, when reach home, i imeediately let her drink liao...her 1st jab, she not feverish, this 2nd jab more li hai i guess..then she gana flu on sun, so poor thing...Her bi ti dripping, she also drooling...all wet wet lor..But heng flu okie liao...PD gave some cough n flu syrup, took liao she drowsy lor, slept within 15mins..
