hi mommies...

Braiden have been having flu & cough since last friday. Been to the PD, got the cough syrup & antibiotics and have been giving him for the first 2 days then i stopped the cough syrup n reduce the antibiotics to 1x per day instead of 2x. His cough seems to be improving BUT i can hear the phlgemy sounds from his chest.. n his nose is v sticky.
sad.gif
I blamed myself because I had flu n passed on to him...
sad.gif
I blamed myself not wearing mask n then spread to him n make him suffer....
sad.gif


Currently also giving him Bao Ying Dan from EYS but doesnt seems to help to reduce the phlegm. Should i bring him to see the GP again tmr???

There's no point blaming yourself for wat that have happened... Braiden need more TLC right now.. Try not to let him sleep in air-con during the nite.. know the weather is hot but got to tahan lor.. Also dun blow the fun directly on him.. If need to, just cool down the room and switch off the air-con before turning him in..

Haiz, looks like our hubbies the same kind. Nowadays most of the time I'm so tired that I will just knock out and sleep even if he switches on the light and does his market monitoring tracking in the room.

Last time when I was preggy, I was v irritated by that. Anyway in the new home, I alrdy told him no laptop in the room. Guess I also hv to follow the rule I set... oops!

<font color="ff6000">krex</font>
Your MIL compares maids?? That's abit too much la....
So hv u decided on the part-time job arrangemt?

<font color="ff6000">snow</font>
Aiyo... I read the link u posted. This is so serious. Haiz... that's why now v difficult to trust maids liao even though we would v much like to do so.
As it is, we found out that there were Indonesian calls to my parents' home during the times when nobody was around for that 2-3 hrs. Worse thing is, the ill-disciplined maid from the neighbour facing my parents backyard, has called before.

Actually we close one eye on the Indonesian calls cos maybe her family members call to talk to her. But I don't like this too, cos she's talking while taking care of the baby. Who knows, if she just dumps my baby somewhere just to talk.

Now we're concerned if the neighbour's ill-disciplined maid will influence my maid and teach her bad things. That maid is v brazen, she outrightly talks to the other neighbours' maids fr her employer's masterbedroom that faces all the other houses' kitchens, but doesn't dare to talk to my maid when we are at home.

Damn headache...
 
NiNi
don't blame urself! things like that happen. and we're SAHM...so possibility of passing is higher. E had flu recently too. took him abt 2 weeks to fully recover. actually, if PD prescribe the meds for a certain no. of times a day, i tink better to keep to it. esp antibiotics. E actually almost finished all his meds while down with flu. the phlegm will take a while to clear. cos they don't know how to blow or cough it out yet. if u're concerned abt him not recovering, try to go back to same doc. so he can follow up on his case.

*sayang* braiden!! hopes he recovers soon!

<font color="ff6000">snow</font>
totally agree that the law is so unfair to employers.
Cos these maids can spin stories to say that the employer molest them etc. That's why if wana send back these maids, no need to give warning.
I alrdy kena my mum's previous maid go call police after we said want to send her back. Think is the neighbour's maid who taught her how to do it.

I also realised that these maids if influenced by other maids, also will somehow become "bad". One rotten apple spoils the other. SO hor, if your neighbour's maid chao kuan one, then v likely can influence your maid.
 
sam
really huh??u tempting me too man
hei got what design?but then..if anything wrong cannot go back to her must go back to US?but then..its still very tempting mannnnn
hmmm must try to sell one of my beco lah like that..hahahha...if not hubby will kill me man..too many carriers..
 
Hello NiNi

Since u have try Bo ying dan from EYS..u can try Hou ni also from EYS. It's very effective for prolonged cough.

I chanced on this when my baby was having cough on Chinese new year n since most clinic are close n i prefer TCM.

Hope it helps..
 
Nini: poor Braiden and u too. hope he will get well soon. the phlegm will take sometime to clear, as well as the chinese medicine.It wont work rite away.

If he doesnt have fever, and he can sleep and eat/drink (lesser than normal also ok, as long as he drinks), then not necessary to go to dr. unless u wanna have piece of mind.

keep breastfeeding him, he'll recover faster. and most important thing is to make him sleep a lot. (by nursing/give medicine/ suck the phlegm if he has block nose etc).
there's this thing called karvol, its like a liquid in capsule that u can break in a handkerchief to help him breath when he's nose is blocked. can get from guardian. it is meant for infant.

take care, dear!

My mum KS, so she urges me to apply at every diaper change. She says better to prevent than cure.. Anyway i apply a super thin layer.. hahah

Gosh, ur poor ears.. Do hope that Yu Ze wld always be in the pink of health inspite his compact size!!

<font color="#CD3278">NiNi</font>
Hey dun blame yourself.. U didn't know it wld be so strong a viral k? Anyway with the awful weather of late, many ppl are under the weather &amp; all..

Hope Braiden recovers quickly!
 
Kym Kym,
Don't be upset. I've seen the pics of Bernice and it's vv nice! Great job!
I had smsed you but I could not take up the Sunday slot as i had issues with maid problem, which is now resolved
happy.gif


I'd gladly pay more than $25 for the shoot. $25 is really vv little. I'd pay double for that. Keep it up!
 
mrs teng,

sounds interesting. wish i had time to explore.

mrs n,

2 hrs is very frequent. maybe that's why. if we use disposables, we change every 4 or 5 hrs.

val,

compare maid better than compare babies! ya me likely to go for pt. seeking approval now.

hisstory,
thanks.

lingling,
yah. he is like a super 'uncle', i always tell him we have generation gap. hahahah.....

nini,
hope braiden get well soon.
 
jojobar that's what my HV tells me everytime I bring my baby for weighing. Whenever I ask him about milk feeds he tells me to give D more solids and more textured food to train him to chew and use his jaw muscles which is supposed to help with speech development.
happy.gif
Yes I was under the impression that milk was important until 1 year. But don't want to argue with my HV, he's after all the trained professional. And since he's assigned to us for 5 years it's better to keep a good working relationship with him.

hi nini/fairysbee

ya the hou ni is very good for cough. if you buy the fruit itself it's really expensive.

fairysbee,
oh my mom checked with her fren there and they say dont take cordycep yet but can take very little bit of birds nest. but not the bottle type. but birds nest can be easily allergic for many people so must give very little about 1/4 TEASPOON onto the porridge. And of cos the usual 4 day rule applies. But in this case, they say give once a week only. But if you are concerned then of cos after 1YO also can.

re: PS
thanks for the nice compliments ya those pics were taken by Kym.
 
h.fgaga,
she has the mocca &amp; orbit color. me overslept today so taking urgent leave. later bring ger go thomson plaza &amp; hopefully got time for high tea wif my mom... hee

haiz...what can we say lor, think that time lotsa ppl ask about this qn but no 1 ans wor.

shint

yesterday i was just thinking of using my drugstore $ before it expire, din thought of "spreeing" lor.


vone

Morning mummies

Jojobar, agreed with the Mrs N, my PD also told me the same thing what Mrs N's HV told to her. Feed more solids &amp; water if allivier reject milk.

Agree milk is v v important for the 1st year, but what to do our bb dislike milk so much....
 
Snow,
Thanks for helping to make the order.
Got additional savings somemore.

Huichin,
Nope, didn’t go coz can’t take leave to go and also abit too far for me to make my way there w both gals w/o hb…

Kym,
The photos are nice! How I wish I could make it…

Nini,
Dun blame yourself, you oso dun wana see Braiden suffers wat…not purposely spread to him so please dun feel bad…you are the main caregiver so sure have regular contact…it is unavoidable…

But do be careful with phlegmy cough coz my asst’s son (4mths) just got hospitalized due to prolonged wheezing cough which leads to bronchitis.

Cat,
Bernice’s pics are nice!
 
m2b
u are most welcome. =)

re :FM
as my cayla is still on part BM, im introducing her 1 FM feed at night and have been using the samples given so far... still got one more big tin of Friso to go before i decide the brand... yesterday, i went to NTUC &amp; survey the prices of similac and enfapro &amp; they are about $36-38+ for 900g tin... today i saw the Shop &amp; Save ad that says Friso 1.8g + free 900g selling for $49.75, which translates to $16.58 for a 900g Friso 2... why so much difference ah????
 
Good morning mummies : )

Nini

Sam
Tks yah for the info..ehhehe..ok i will consider of buying pikkolo..ahhahaha...but first must sell some of my carriers...ahhahahaha..or else hubby will make noise lei...
 
jojobar,

i guess if your kid is eating solids well and u're giving a balanced diet, no harm if milk intake is less. i would only be concerned if the child is rejecting both milk and solids. i also noticed that my boy isn't that crazy abt milk nowdays. when i give him 150ml, he will get excited only in the beginning, then insist that we heat up the milk to his liking before he finishes up the rest <baulk> last time no such thing coz' he values his milk very much. i think solids has helped to make him less hungry so he's starting to get fussy. thank goodness he doesn't fuss with his solids and eats up everything we give him!
 
Hi Krex78,

Baby M does not drink a lot since birth. Hence i started him on solid when he is 4th month based on PD recommendation loh. Luckily he is taking to solid well. I guess i just need to relax and stop comparing loh

Pix of your loot?? hee

<font color="#CD3278">Vern</font>
OOoh, very nice heads-up!

<font color="#CD3278">bb/child abuse</font>
Today's ST mentioned another case of child abuse in Taiwan.. This time a 2y.o who was flogged to death.. And the saddest part is the mum just ignored the whole episode when the dad was 'disciplining' the child &amp; returned to her nap..
