Mousebb, the clinic is so far away. I'm still looking for a pd for Ethan. Seems like ur area has alot of good docs.
I wrote email to hr liao and with the company policy out and state on/after 31Oct08, i cannot help but to accept the fact.Govt clearly stated to encourage employers to give 4th mth ML and it is not enforcing them.
Why don't initially the govt state to enforce on 17Aug and end up now giving some of us now disappointment.So envy those working in govt sectors.
Today, my milk flow came and i feel so happy after 5th day,my baby alas can enjoy the mother-baby relationship.Really feel like a mother.

I think polyclinic dun do 6-in-1, they only have 5-in-1 and 5in1 has more jab means parent has to make more trips. PLus more jab means bb might have to suffer more fever if your bb react to the med.
Plus polyclinis has lotsa other patients, young and old... gng to polyclinics more times may subject to your infant chances to come in contact with other virus ( tough wood.. just to scare your hb la)
See if you hb will have second thoughts..
In fact policlinics also offer the free jab.. but there like 9 of them. I have a friend who took it.. and her son will have fever after each jab.. so xin tong lo..

I also dont like to bring my kids to polyclinic. The reason is same as what cookie has stated. So far, wenxuan did not have any fever from the 6-in-1 jabs cos after each jab, Dr Lilian will give us some fever medicine for standby. As a precaution, each time we will let wenxuan take the fever medicine (even though with no fever). Dr said this is alright.

Sorry to hear that you have mastitis. Hope you are feeling better now and have a speedy recovery. Dont feel stress over the milk supply. Just give whatever you have to your bb. Rest more.</font>

<font color="0000ff">Morning Mummies,
Everafter,
Polyclinic do have 6-in-1, a fren of mine was mentioning it to me the other day. They have 2 kinds of package, one is the 5-in-1 and the other is the 6-in-1. Heard they are definitely cheaper than PD but of coz the waiting hours can be a headache! But then even at PD, the waiting hours can oso be bothersome! Hmm..-_-"

bbgoh - has yr bb gone for her 6-in-1 jab yet? I KS - I rather wait for my ger to get jabbed 1st before going to crowded places like shopping malls. So far, I only brought her to lunch at a respectable restaurant with a pte rm. I put the EBM in her milk bottle (cold) in a fridge - to - go cooler bag. When she wants to drink, I warm up with hot water in a cup fr the restaurant (lesson learnt also - bring yr own hot water and cup ... faster)

i think it's okay. sometimes very difficult to wake him up, he drinks from 1 breast and falls asleep again. I try to wake him up in 3 hours interval. sometimes hv to put damp towel on his face to wake him up.
dun think it's cuz of jaundice..but more that to make sure bb is feeding.

it's maya pouch...can check out mummysmilk.com

everafter, my hb also civil servant so is my BIL but they all against the idea of getting bb jab at polyclinic cos they cannot imagine having bb waiting in the same area as those sick old ppl, kids etc..
imagine after jab n bb caught those illness?
so conclusion is better b safe then sorry.

My hubby has the same thinking as your hubby too. He said we can save cost in other areas but not risking his darling's health (cos my son's immune system is no good) in this area. The nurse at the PD's clinic will schedule an appt for us to bring our kid for vaccination hence we dont need to wait too long unless the PD has something urgent to attend at the hospital then bo bian leh.
everafter
My hubby also working in the govt sector. Dr Lilian has scheduled wenmin for her first jab on 21 Nov le. Did she give Bryan any date for his jab?</font>

Bo wah leh! No point having 1st jab at PD's clinic and have the rest at polyclinic. End up it could be more expensive (not sure if polyclinic gives free jabs to civil servants anot) cos I think at kid's clinic, if we dont take package, individual jab is more exp leh.
At times, when I'm expressing the milk and wenmin cries, I would have to let her cry lor. Anyway, I only express for 10-15mins. Wenxuan would also throw tantrum then I just let him be lor. What to do? But I would normally express the milk after I settled all their needs.</font>

there is no such thing as FOC jab at polyclinic. my hb is oso civil servant i bring my gal for 6 in 1 jab at polyclinic, we need to pay $300 plus. i dun agree that we need to wait at the same area with those sick ppl. there is a section for parent and bb to wait for vaccine. i don't see there is any problem to bring ur child for jab at polyclinic as most of parent did that. Polyclinic is another alternative for parent who find PD is ex and afterall they offer the same jab. PD clinic will hv parent sending their sick child there too. so r u all saying that there is no virus there? just to share my opinion.

Mummies,
I've sent Claudia for her 1st jab at the polyclinic. In fact, my experience there is rather good. Very short waiting time coz newborn to 2 mths old can cut q. Then subsequent jabs, make appt will do. And they have breastfeeding room there. The docs and nurses there all very pro b/fing. A few times when i'm there CLaudia want to drink milk and i missed my turn, my hubby told them i'm feeding bb. They in fact very kind to let me cut Q immediately when i'm done.
I went to PD once. Though i like his attentiveness during hospital stay coz Claudia not able to urinate for 24 hrs and she also got jaudice. But i dun like the attitude of the nurse. We can call and call but no one pick up our call whe we need to make appt. And when we turn up w/o appt, she show a kind of face and command us to wait. Angry!!! But wat can we do. haiz!! so i bo bian, would rather go to polyclinic. Its cheaper and the faces there r more friendly.

I can understand how you feel. I would also get frustrated if that situation happened to me. It is alright to let bb cry for a while. We need not attend to them immediately. This morning while I was bathing, wenmin cried for her milk and I just let her cry while I quickly finished bathing lor. We only have a pair of hands so at times we are also limited to things which we can do. As long as we do our best, then just ignore whatever comments which pple give you cos we cannot stop them from saying what they want to say.</font>
