krex,
I gave 1tbsp only, with 4tbsp warmed up EBM. I also dunno what to expect to see when he need more, but shall monitor his behaviour.
fitbaby,
I also bought Bellamy. My friend recommended Nestle cos her kids are on that, but I didn't get it because it has milk, and my intention is to use BM first.
val,
Yeah, I had been taking public transport until recently because it's so back breaking and time consuming I end up choosing to stay home instead. But stay home got stay home problems. Staying home, the baby is bored, I get bored. Get bored will become grouchy, and I cannot keep baby happy, everyone gets upset - vicious cycle. That's why, SAHM must keep herself active and happy. That article you (was you right?) posted from the other thread! VERY VERY true! Stay active, but pace yourself.
Shay,
Your bb has eczema? Mine also. Probably hereditary as my hb also has. Did you, or are you monitoring to see what triggers the rash? We suspect my bb face broke out in a rash a week back because I had eaten a whole bottle of peanuts myself (those CNY goodie lah). I was told to stay off possible allergens like nuts, eggs, shellfish, soy, chocolate, milk. But I didn't totally cut them out cos all I like. I feel it's ok if taken in moderation - that whole bottle of nuts was a bit extreme lah.
Steroids,
Bb was also given a topical steroid. Medicine also same as his papa, so they can share LOL.
Oh, the steroid cannot use too much too often because after a while it looses it's effectiveness as the skin gets used to it. So, use it to control the itch, the bumps actually heal by itself when it doesn't get aggitated by scratching.
