Infant care
We just had a meeting with the principle of our infant care center to trash out a couple of issues and we're glad that she is very open to work on solutions to solve the issues we've raised.
For those of you who are going to send your baby into care centre, it is very crucial to establish the following facts to the centre to ensure that the top most care is given to your baby:
1. Feeding - indicate very clearly what is the interval between feeds and if your baby is zzz, should they wake him/her up. What is the max duration that is acceptable (eg if yours is on 3 hourly feed, max stretch is 4 hours and thereafter they have to wake baby up etc..) Make sure that the information is being pass on to all the teachers.
This is very important as we are really upset that Bryan was not fed pass 2 hours of his regular 4 hourly interval on numerous occassion because he zzz and the teacher who took the information did not pass it down to the rest of the teachers and they simply let him sleep.
2. For us, we were told that Infants are kept away from the toddlers or mobile babies in a separate area due to safety reasons. However, on Monday we were shocked to learned from my Mother in law who pick him up from the infantcare that my son was on a mattress in the toddler zone without any barricade to ensure his safety from the curious mobile ones! Plus the mattress that they place my son on was the same one used for the older babies. This is not acceptable as the older babies may spread their bugs to my little boy as his immune is JUST developing. So check this point with the centre and if they have to place babies there during peak hours (collection time in the evening)then make sure they have some form of barricade.
3. Baby Cot
Check if your baby is assigned specific cot for health reasons.
4. Sick / Runny nose
Check how they define babies being sick and to which stage will the centre reject their entrance. We saw a couple of babies with runny nose and fever being allowed into the centre and post the questions to the centre on how can they allow such to happen as it imposes health risk to other children. So for the centre that we attend, they only turn children away when fever is 38C or when the runny nose is really bad (yellow mucus).

Hi mummies! If you're using Wyeth, you may want to take note.
My colleage just forwarded me a circular from AVA saying that Wyeth Progress Gold, Promise and Promise Gold Infant Formulae has been recalled by AVA for containing lutein, which is not an approved additive to infant and follow-up formulae.
ETA: Oops...see Dee has posted liao. =P

My boy took the same jabs on 02Feb and had the same reading as yours on 03Feb. I did not give him paracetamol as the temp is still under normal range.
I only gave him when the temp went up to 37.5 and after that he was ok. So, you may want to just wait and see.

Hi gals,
So nice to see so many babes hanging out together! I would like to open up my house for gathering too. How about a Saturday? Then the mummies who have gone back to work can join us...
Btw, there will be a baby fair this coming Fri to Sunday at Singapore Expo by the Mother and Baby Magazine. Offers include:
- J&J wipes (2 packs for $8.90)
- Gaia products (up to 30percent off)!
i going on Friday - if u gals spot me do come up and say hi orh!
Back to Work:
I'll be returning to work in March. Looking forward but at the same time I realise: I got no tops to wear! *GASP* I think i gotta do some last min shopping! All my work shirts cannot fit due to the boops portion. I haven't tried the pants and skirts (but I can wear my pre-preg jeans). *Phew*

Chantelle, regarding the BCG on the arm. I heard a horror story about KKH. Apparently the parents of the baby ask for the BCG jab to be made on the butt (ger mah...). The jab was done and on came another nurse who gave the baby another jab on the arm! So in total the baby got 2 jabs! Recently, the same parents had a second child in KKH and the nurses somehow only administered 1/4 of the vacine for the baby! Then the parents ask the PD and the PD dunno wat to do oso...
mum2ndx,
If the milk is freshly pumped out from the breast, can stay at room temp for 4hrs. For milk that is out on the fridge, not too sure leh... But best to keep it refrigerated or in cooler bag cos when at room temp, bacteria will start to grow...

I would love to have another gathering! I'm back at work now, so Saturday would be better. Where do you stay?
I totally cannot wear any of my pre-preg clothes! My boobs and butt are both bigger now. I had to go out and buy all new clothes for work. I'm one size bigger now (last time was sz 12, now sz 14) so not too far off from last time la.. The funny thing is that my post-preg tummy has been getting smaller over the last 2 months, but I haven't really lost much weight leh. During my confinement month, I lost 10kg and have still maintained at that same weight. But okay la, lose inches more important than losing kilos. hehe

Slimming down
I also hate my expanded hips! Like can hook clothes on the sides already. haiz..
Hair Dye
Is it ok to dye hair during breastfeeding? The hairstylist told me it is ok to highlight but dye will have chemicals that will touch the scalp..so I still pondering about it. Wonder how many days do I have to throw away my milk after the dye
