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>

cactus,
allergy to plum is very rare, can it be due to other reasons?
Just on Monday my boy develop sudden rashes all over his face. Yesterday have already subside, but still a bit itchy. Saturday i intro barley cereal and he is still eating it. Since the rashes only occur on 1 day (and after 2 days of barley), i reckon it is not due to barley so will be intro new food again today.

Wah, I didn't know Vicks was dangerous. Good thing you posted the article. I was still thinking of going out to buy some Vicks for her just in case her current running nose turns into stuffed nose.
Cactus, maybe need to wait a couple more days for the plum to be entirely flushed from his system. I'll cross my fingers and toes that it goes away as well.
Felicia, Yeah, I'm Malaysian. From Penang as you can tell. The food is fantastic. Penang is famous for her food anyway.
Everytime I go back, sure gain weight. This time round, must discipline myself else I'll never lose my pregnancy weight.

Ellysia, yah, plum is recommended for weaning. I also dun know why. I can only think of plum being the allergenic factor. Was looking through my records loh. I can't think of any other reason. My maid and dad feed Matthew lunch. They are very careful to clean his cheeks after every mouthful if food lands there inadvertently. I feed breakfast and dinner, with my dad's help. I'm also very careful. We use clean cotton and clean water to clean his face.. we used to use face towel, but stopped using that since the eczema appeared in case it is allergy to detergent,etc. We also ruled out dirty pillow cos the redness is not near the ear but nearer the mouth.. and not on the usual side that he sleeps on. Erm, if not, then I cannot explain the ezcema loh. no family history leh....
hi shinely, no, I'm not getting a contractor cos not doing major reno. just painting, and polishing the floor. I've not contacted any painter/floor person. Only contacted the home movers. Do you need a recommendation for this? I'm using K Ong's contact.

Morr, Got Vicks in capsule form for infants? I go find later. Can buy off the shelf or must ask from the pharmacy?
Veniz. I agree. The zhichar not nice and expensive too. There's a good zhichar place near Queenstown called Two Chefs. Very nice and not too exp as well. We'll go to the playground near your place. A lot of kids running around and playing nowadays. We were there yesterday as well cos my girl got running nose and cough, so she didn't go to the infant care centre.
Which one are you in facebook? I'm also there.. but dunno who is who. Hahaha...
Everybody changing house in this recession time ah? First Cactus, then Shinely. Read in last weeks ST that hdb and private property prices all falling. Wish I have the money to change also.

Re: constipation and water
Prunes and peaches are natural laxative. If i give prune puree, usu bb will poo after 2 days.
water, i dun give a lot. around 20ml. my boy dun like to drink a lot of water. after awhile he get impatient.
Re: diluting FM
recently heard from a fren of my hb. his bb have diarroea. then wife go to forum and some forummer suggest to dilute the FM. end up keep vomitting the FM and have to see pd. pd says cannot feed bb water and dilute FM is not good too.
so sometimes, its better to read up more than to rely on one or two people suggestions.

Shinely, actually, if you have some time, and not in a rush to do reno, it may be cost-saving to take charge of the reno yourself. about 7 years ago, my mom and I oversaw the reno work for their HDB flat. We saved alot of money that way. What we did was to design the home ourselves, contacted the separate people ourselves, and bought the stuff ourselves. We bought toilet stuff from Nam Wah at Tenah Merah, floor tiles and lightings from Balastiar area, etc. my parents changed the layout of their home by knocking down walls, putting up walls, revamped the whole unit by tearing down the old kitchen and toilets, extend the living room to belcony and changed all the furniture.repainted, added cornices, changed window grills, all the doors and gate. all in all, cost $60k. After the work, they have laminated flooring, a walk in wardrobe which is 2/3 size of a HDB flat bedroom, country style kitchen with new cooker and hob, built in furniture and new curtains for all windows. We obtained quotes from ID firms - they quoted us cheapest $120k for the same work!
Ellysia, re: diluting FM, I remember reading somewhere which says that it is not advisable to give FM in a different dilution. But I'm not sure if it is safety concerns or if it is because the FM producers want to make more money...
mor, maybe the bb vomit FM cos too full? drink too much? just thinking about it too...
krispy, the rash is not on the chin, but it is on the cheek... just a bove the mouth. small patch.

Shinely, if you don't have time to do buy the materials yourself, you can still save money by shortlisting your favourite ID company, ask them for a breakdown of their quotation (specify the materials hor).. then take their quotation (in table form) and ask 2 or 3 other recommended ID companies for their quotes on the same items. Always ask for breakdown. Of course, don't let the ID companies know you are doing cost comparison. ALso , pls make sure your selected ID company is HDB approved cos you need their help to get permission to renovate.
