Hi mummies
Nobody ha the contact to the organsation that collects ebm?
Btw, does anybody know if we can use calendula cream in place of the diaper barrier cream? The calendula cream works well in healing my girl's fungal infection, am worried that the infection may come back if i switch back to Desitin cream...

mommies

Cannot on the air con for whole day. It's expensive! Some more my room is super hot. Already have 4 fans blowing but still so hot. My poor gal hair is wet cos she perspire a lot!
Jelly
Your colleague is very bad leh! Is it bcos he think that you are new in this workplace and try to show you some "colors"? Just ignore him lah. Maybe he is also under some work pressure. Give yourself a bit more time to adjust and adapt to the new workplace. Sometimes some places just take a longer time to adapt but I'm sure you will be able to adapt to it soon. </font>

Jelly, hang in there. You sound really upset. Maybe highlight the problem to your team leader or manager to iron things out. Dun dwell on it too much. Work is merely secondary and just a means to an end. Focus on Rebby and I am sure you can pull thru.

Put her in the cot, cry, put her in our bed ignore her also cry, put her in the yao lan, try to turn over then get angry and cry again.

mommies .... just want to share with you my "shocking experience" yesterday..
Yesterday, as usual I brought baby Jo swimming at the pool downstairs. As usual again he sat on his zebra float. I sat on the side of the pool and my hubby is inside the kid pool with baby Jo. Then suddenly I saw baby Jo sink inside the water!! I scream.. luckily my hubby responded very fast and bring him up. Baby Jo crying and coughing and vomit out his milk that he drank 1+ hour ago. We are quite worry coz baby Jo really fully submerged inside the water maybe 2-3 seconds. We bring him the doctor rite away to make sure that there are no water in his lung.
The doctor ask us to monitor for fever, coughing and other unusual behavior for the next 2-3 days.
Thanks GOD that baby Jo look OK. Today took leave to monitor him. Thanks GOD also that it happen not when baby Jo in the adult pool (sometimes we bring him to play in adult pool which is deeper and will be more diff to bring him up). Thanks GOD also yesterday my hubby was around coz i dun think I can react as fast as him.
Just to share for mummies who bring the kids for swim:
- really have to look at the baby ALL the time when they inside the pool.
- you have to be inside the water with the baby, so you react faster when something happen. If you just seat at the side of the pool you reaction maybe will not as fast.
- Dun assume that when your baby inside the float is will be safe. Yest the coz of the accident is the float broke off .. refer to the photo...

Thank god that Jo is ok! He must have got a shock of it! Agreed that we must be inside the water with the bb at all times even though the bb has wore a float.
I dont remember the maximum weight of the float which I bought. Think it said can use up to 3-4 yrs old leh.</font>

Are most of you girls on facebook? if so, PM me or leave me your email addy can so I can add you ladies in?
phantus: oh, not you ah... Ai yah, I was sharing with Jelly hor, that my Cate is so different from the nice gentle boy. That Isaac was such a good boy and my Cate, AI YOH! NOT SHY NOT SHY! She actually leaned forward and tried to touch / stroke Isaac and he cried! And she still did not stop!!! I felt so bad for making him cry ah...

<font color="0077aa">Gio, actually hor, I think it is quite 'normal' leh. Cate wakes up in the middle of the night and she takes like an hour to sleep sometimes. She does not wanna sleep lor, just want to PLAY! AT 4AM!!!! I am v blessed because my helper volunteers and takes care of the night feed though I will wake up to supervise. 'Cos that time I had PND, I was a bit off liao. I shared v honestly with her what was wrong with me and she volunteered so I can rest better... She is the one who is v calm. Despite being so young, at 25, she is the one who ends up assuring me that it is v normal for babies to wake up in the middle of the night. 
So hang in there, there are good days and the not so good one.

<font color="0077aa">XY: ya, I know... So we also compromise lah, 'cos during the day, we will put her and Cate at my folks' place. She does not do anything there at all - no household chores, no cooking. When baby sleeps, she can sleep. And she is very appreciative. 'Cos she was a transfer maid, so she actually can compare and knows that we treat her v well. Sometimes she will even joke and tell people that she has a son in Indo and a daughter in SG. hahahahahahahahahaha... I am also v close to her. We have dinners together and go shopping together also. We also go out and watch movies that time when I was a SAHM... My hubby used to kid that my helper has a better life than him! LOL

Not easy ah!
Gio: so NOT funny at that time because Cate was still leaning forward and trying to reaaaaaach her chubby fingers out to touch the small boy! and he was hiding in the mum's arms and crying away! and she was even more curious! so garang leh! ai yooooooohhhhhhhh</font>
