hey morr n krispykreme, Okay! ya, after his 7.30pm milk feed, he will wait up for milk at 10+ or 11pm. These days, i dreamfeed him for at ard 11pm. Then the wee hour one wait for him to wake me. But his 3am feed, he can drink 120ml lei. Does this mean he's really hungry? his normal feed is 180ml.
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">morning mummies..
milk.. little qyan still wake up at 2-3 hrs interval for milk.. he will make noise.. then we make milk for him to drink and he will fall asleep again.. his weight is average thus we try to feed him more.. else will fall below average.. plus as a vegetarian bb.. we hope he take in more required vitamin..etc from milk.. so no choice..</font></font>

just that nowadays modern parents want to have more freedom and less fuss hence train the babies to sleep thru and diff methods are introduced gradually.. as long as the caregiver is comfy with the feeds and etc den all is well

Feifei,
Haha.. Yeah. I learnt the hard way. But also cos I blur lar. I usually only let her eat that when she's really constipated. And usually, only for 1 meal. That time really blur blur.
How much water should they be drinking per day? Last time when she was younger, PD say dun need to drink water cos milk is already 90% water. Now, she only drinks about 20-40ml per day. Dunno enough or not. So far her poo seems ok lar.

MLP, doesn't sound like he's very hungry lor. My girl also used to wake up at 2am for her feeds but she'll only drink 100ml of her 140ml. Then can see she's super sleepy, drink until fall asleep.. must keep on rocking her a little to wake her up.
So we started giving her a little water to drink at that time. Can't give too much cos she'll also throw up like your boy. Dunno why. After that, we started giving her pacifier to sleep. Once that was successful, have to wean her off her pacifier cos she'll cry until we pop the pacifier in her mouth. Very scary to hear her cry so loudly at 2am. My heart nearly stopped many many times. Hahaha... Once she got used to going back to sleep by herself (w/out her pacifier), she now sleeps from 8pm - 5am.

ioio, my mom has an action plan... she keeps the warmer on all night (with spare water to top up), then she keeps the milk in the medela coolant bank next to her, with an empty milk bottle.. haha. she won't need to leave the room to make milk!!
morraine, yah.. our bbs are such angels when they sleep too!! Oh, last night, Matthew ended up sleeping on the floor! Scared daylights out of my mom and I. We were both sleeping when about midnight, we heard a knock, and Matthew was on the floor! He sleeps on a mattress on the floor. the mattress is about 2 inches high. guess he must have rolled over and fallen off the mattress.
luckily he continued sleeping despite falling off. our flooring is wood too.. not as uncomfortable or cold as marble or tile.

Cactus, we bought those electric water heater flasks with both hot and warm water. Then keep everything, milk powder and bottles beside it. Everything within easy reach.
Btw, we've moved her to her own room. Find that she sleeps better this way. She's a very light sleeper and likes to play a lot. Last time she'll wake up in the middle of the night, then want to play with us when she sees us on the bed. Will end up calling for us until we wake up, then find that she's not really hungry. Very difficult to make her go back to sleep as well.

Cactus, maybe take him off plum for a while and see if it goes away. Do you have a moisturizer to apply on his face? Maybe it'll disappear faster. Would recommend Physiogel cos it's really good.
Fei fei, my girl absolutely loves swimming. Always very excited when she sees the swimming pool.

MLP, for the weaning off pacifier, I'm not proud to say that I use the crying technique. I started with her 8pm sleep time. I'll give her her paci then rock her till she's almost asleep, then I take her paci off. She'll still be sleeping, then gently put her in her cot. At which time, she'll be giving me this look like why is her paci not with her. I pat her a little then leave the room.
She'll start making noise and crying soon. First time, let her cry 30 seconds, then go in pick her up, console her, maybe give her paci if she's crying too hard. Then take it away again and put her back in her cot. 2nd time, cry 1 min. Then slowly extend until she cry about 3-5 mins in between.
After a while, she gets so tired that she auto sleep w/out paci. She started sleeping on her own w/out the paci after 3 days.

Krispy, I gave a bit of plum on 8 Jan, then again on 10 Jan. His rash appeared on 10 Jan, so we suspect plum. not giving him plum anymore.. it's not really going away though. will go away during the night, but return during the day.
Felicia, speaking of scallops, I just went to ZTP near my office to buy.. haha. not for bb though.. but for the porridge for adults. I'm planning to intro scallops for bb after 1 year old.. cos I'm worried about allergy.. didn't think Matthew would be subject to it until recently..

Vicks VapoRub can harm children under 2
By Julie Steenhuysen Julie Steenhuysen Tue Jan 13, 12:29 am ET
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Vicks VapoRub, a common cold remedy, can cause respiratory distress in children under 2 when inappropriately applied directly under the nose, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.
They said using the Procter & Gamble Co product in this way can cause a young child's tiny airways to swell and fill with mucus, triggering severe breathing problems.
"The only problem we've seen is in a small child when it has been put under the nose," Dr. Bruce Rubin of Wake Forest University School of Medicine in North Carolina, said in a telephone interview.
Rubin said the ingredients in Vicks can be irritants, causing the body to produce more mucus to protect the airway. And since infants and young children have airways that are much narrower than those of an adult, any increase in mucus or swelling can narrow them severely.
"The company is really clear it should never go under the nose or in the nose for anybody and it shouldn't be used in children under 2," said Rubin, whose study appears in the journal Chest.
While the researchers only tested the Vicks product, Rubin said similar products, including generic versions, could cause the same negative effects in infants and toddlers.
Rubin and his colleagues began looking at use of the medication after treating an 18-month-old girl who developed respiratory distress after the salve was put under her nose.
They studied ferrets, which have an airway anatomy similar to humans. In the animals with a chest infection, the product increased mucus secretion and decreased the animal's ability to clear mucus.
"We were able to document changes that we think explain this," Rubin said.
David Bernens, a spokesman for P&G, said the finding came as a surprise. "Vicks VapoRub has been proven safe and effective through multiple clinical trials. It has been in the market for over 100 years," Bernens said, noting that the label says the product should not be used in children under age 2 without a doctor's advice, and not under the nose.
"We warn people not to do that," he said.
Since the initial episode, emergency doctors at the medical center have begun asking all parents of children in respiratory distress if they used the Vicks product in a similar way and they have seen two more cases, Rubin said.
"I recommend never putting Vicks in, or under, the nose of anybody -- adult or child," Rubin said in a statement, adding that he would never use it in a child under age 2.
Dr. James Mathers, president of the American College of Chest Physicians, said in a statement that parents should consult their doctor before giving any over-the-counter medication to infants and young children, particularly cough and cold medications, which can be harmful.

Felicia, hmm... dry scallops. Good idea. I didn't think of putting that in her porridge. I think our kids eat better food than us lor. So shiok. Eat scallops on a daily basis.
Veniz, haha. Oh yeah hor. I forgot you stay in the new blocks. The new coffeeshop is so convenient. So happy they set up shop there. Just the right time also. Can easily tabao something back for dinner. Btw, did you try the economy rice stall? Cheap and good. I highly recommend it. But stay away from their sotong. Not fresh. Can also meet at the playground. I bring my girl down to see the bigger kids playing. She can stare and stare at them. Maybe dreaming of running around with them in future.
Any latest pics of Vivi? She was so so cute when born. So fair. Like doll.

yesh vicks are not supposed to be used for infants so my alternative is a capsule form of vicks meant for infants and can be bought at pharmacy, what we do is to break the capsule and squeeze the content onto the pillow or blanket and place near the infant whilst asleep to clear block nose and its very useful</font>
