hi kath
oh dear.. allergy to cow milk.. my friend's ger also.. in the end.. she change to soya.. which is isomail for her ger to take.
 


fifi,
possible to collect e blender on weekdays nite? easier for me..if nt, i will try to go ur pl this sat..

spag,
can trim. i juz brought my boy to hwa xia @harbourfront on sun to trim his hair, at least now all even length..nt so messy looking

kath,
remembered u also bought the california calendula cream but dunno use for wat.. USE it now!! keke.. my boy also has mild eczema, PD says can use that & it works wonders.. now his skin smooth smooth =)
 
yeah, Zach cries uncontrolable each time FM is being fed and all these while he always have patches of red over his face n body. I always dismiss it as rash leh..cos his daddy oso have it. Then he will always use his hand to scratch his ear his eyes, his head etc till it is super red and patchy n swollen. Sigh.. the last time i went n see PD she did gave me med for allergy n she ask me to monitor. This time round, i went to PD to see his runny nose and he pointed out that Zach is allergy to cow's milk n advise me to fully breastfeed him and not to intro solid until he is 6mths and since he got allergy must be more careful..

cindy, calendula cream is very good but cannot cure his allergy lar..but i juz apply..hehe
 
kath,
oh ya last time u say ur PD prescribed zytec for Zach rite? my elder boy used to drink a lot of tat coz he has sensitive nose & eye...
 
Hi Jes, did u buy the jumperoo? how much it cost?

Hi Kath, maybe u try to checkout another PD. sometime allergy thing is quite hard to said. sigh.. poor zach. hope he is feeling better soon. give him a hug from aunty alison!
 
mommy louis,
i din buy laa, $239 wor.. very ex ler! i juz let my boy to try on only... i'm now still thinking if should i buy 2nd hand one but also cost $150-$180... maybe i will juz rent it...
 
Hi guys,,,

I haven't posted for a long time...

Been super busy at work and basically trying to juggle work and motherhood... the tough part is actually expressing milk at work.. it can be quite hard to find the time to pump... Super troublesome... must stop whatever u are doing to go pump.. sigh... but i truly want my girl to have breastmilk for at least 6 months..

I just sent my daughter for her 4th month check and injections.. My pd was telling me that I can give my ger a 3rd pneumococcal jab if I want to.. She said US does 3 jabs but UK gives only 2.. So she asks me to decide... Do any of you have any idea?? Like wat ur pd said...

My pd also said I can start giving my girl solids.. She said if bb gut has no problem and is growing alright.. can start.. so i bought some rice cereals and mixed it with ebm ... only 1 teaspoon... She is soo cute when she is eating.. She will swallow some and then the rest she will push it out with her tongue.. so far soo good.. just slowly introducing solids.. like playing to her.. Hehe!!

I hope everyone is doing fine...
 
fifi,
tom, wed or thurs? nt convenient nm lah, can drop by sat b4 we head out for lunch..but maybe ard 1pm can? coz we all (includg bb) zz in late one =p

kath,
hmm.. if really it's allergy then prob cant help lah, but good to get a second PD opinion imo

jes,
the cream works v well on my boy. few days onli all cleared up..he has like rough ring patches all over his hands n legs.. din noe wat it was, looks abit like fungus (ringworm) so we applied fungus cream no help, applied GAIA moisturer (in case it's dryness) also no help. so brought him go see PD along with all my creams.. hee.. she immed said use the calendula cream coz many of her patients also use for their bbs. Shd have tried e cream on him b4 bring'g him see PD lor.. coz tt trip to the PD without taking any med cost me $85!! =(
 
hi guys,

sorry been a bit tight up at my BP side;p;p
didnt post here for awhile,

Emeraldbride,
hows Zach nappy rash now? must remind them to apply ur desitin cream more often..mine boy had quite bad nappy rash... & I noted they didnt apply at the butt, instead they apply at the sides!! so i specify tell them to apply at his butt...

Expressing at work: I think its really super challenging to express at work..many a times I have to squeeze time to quickly express as recently workload has increase alot.....Gerry, I agree it's very troublesome! but think we all want the best for out bb, so let's jia you!!
happy.gif


BTW i'm using ameda leh...works okie for me thou...

Shaving hair: nope, i didnt shave bb's hair during his full mth, & dun intend to do so too at 4th mth either...

Hair Loss: i'm pretty stress up with the falling hair thats all over the place..
sad.gif
haiz..i'm going to get the hair loss shampoo..hopefully it helps..
 
hi jes, how much is the rental charge? hrmmm over 200 is quite exp, i saw the review, some parent used up till 9 months old.
 
Hey Kath

Just wanna check with you when the desitin will arrive? cos I'll be meeting up with my friend soon, would like to pass it to her

snowger
you wanna try to drag her last feed to 9+? It might help... Olivia's last feed is also 9+ sometimes she'll wake up 6+ sometimes 8+. Don't think it will become a habit, as long as she goes to bed with a full stomach sld be ok
 
i saw jumperoo selling at 199 during the OG sales...u all can go to chinatown shop Chang Chun Block 34 Upper Cross St #03-132 Tel:65323855 think she sells cheaper than outside prices.

that time i enquire about the BrightStarts Arnd-we-go she says outside selling 269 she can sell me cheaper. but that time i am eager to get it and she nv open shop on sunday so i just bought it at Taka baby fair.

recently my boi also keeps waking up at 4 or 2am....not sure what is wrong....he use to drink his last feed at 10+ 11+ then sleeps till next morning 7+
 
i have let A tried jumperoo at Mimi's place. each time he cried when he was being put in & show on sign that he cannot bounce. -_-"

Mimi - thanks for letting A try that jumperoo.

Carmen - thanks for helping me collect.

gill - i c. did u buy from philips factory or elsewhere?

Fabbie - have smsed u on BM.

emeraldbride/Cindy - where to buy this calendula cream? A's face not in gd condition now.
 
juzyounme, u are welcome. if u wan to let A try a few more times, can let me know. think that day A is sleepy la, that's why he not in the mood to jump.
 
icic..ok thanks.. i intend to bring Brennon to shave his hair when he reach 4th mth next wk..

oh kath, regarding the cradle cap, my mum used sesame oil only 3 times, almost all gone.. before that she also tried using baby n olive oil not so powerful! haha
 
Hi gals,
Kasia is oso having 5 feeds (180-200ml each feed)per day. I realise FM BBs really can tong longer at nite. I have managed to train Kasia to sleep by 9pm and she usually wakes up at 7am. The same applies to my niece who is born in July last year, she is oso on FM.

since starting werk last week, it's been a crazy workwk, so much issues to clear and follow up... Phew! so i really salute mummies who still need to express during office hrs! 3 cheers to all BF/EBM mummies!!!

Kath:
mebbe you juz tell IFC staff to change Zach's diapers more regularly. Kasia oso has super sensitive skin, so it's pretty easy for me to guess if my BB sitter is changing her diapers every 3-4hrs. esp if Kasia poo, her skin will turn reddish within an hr!

Flipping:
feel so excited for mummies for BB who are learning to flip liao. Kasia still not ready leh, and feel for her as her BB sitter either carry her or put her on the mash rocker, so Kasia rarely has chance to lie on solid ground. thou i have given a play mat to BB sitter, nvr see her use it leh... hmmm... will remind her to use it often. think it will be so exciting to see Kasia flip :>
 
Iris & Bel:
dun forget your HT cereals still with me yo. i think i will let Kasia try solid when she turns 6mth =)
 
carmen, kasia is drinking so much. zayden is only drinking 150ml every 4hrs and i have started giving him solids when he turns 4mths (cos PD says we can start to give him solids).

maybe tonight will go collect the cereals from u, see if hubby wants to drive me there....
 
Iris:
ya... and i brought Kasia to my MIL place on Sun, Kasia is the same size as her cousin born in July!!! wahahaha... but funny thing is dat both are FM BBs, but my niece is only drinking ard 140-160ml every 4-5hrs. She was intro to solids recently and she cud last 6hrs! wow! anyway, we concluded dat Kasia will be a very tall gal in future (juz like her mummy =p)

im so tempted to intro solids to Kasia too but my HB is not too into it, so we may do so in June ba =)
 
hi ladies, I thinking of getting the FP rainforest jumperoo for my boy. Any reviews? Or Anyone letting go theirs (in a good condition)?
 
pastillies,
i oso drop a lot of hair... every morning after wake up i hav to pick up one by one from my bed ler.. sigh! my gynae said it will last for 6mths wor...

mommy louis,
other toy rental company normally charges $50+ for FP jumperoo for a period of one mth, but i saw one quite good which we can rent 1-3 toys a mth but hav to join their membership from $48... i'm thinking to join ler coz too many toys to buy liao but scared waste money coz toys really cannot last long...

joanne81,
u mean sesame oil tat we use for cooking?? then do we hav to do anything after apply oil? or juz leave it there?? my boy also has caddle cap ler & i tried baby oil but doesn't help laa..

carmen,
FM BB can sleep longer doesn't apply to all ler coz i tried to giv my boy last feed on FM before at 2nd mth but he also wake up very fast so in the end i gav up... now he can sleeps longer liao from 9pm to 7-8am & he's on total latch on... i think it really depend on individual baby & also a matter of times...

hippomummy,
there r few mummies selling FP jumperoo at WTS ler... i wrote to them before but in the end decided not to buy coz still hav to fork out so much money for 2nd hand toy... hehe
 
jes,
i dun think i can wait till 6mths...now every morning I'm clearing alot of hair fm my bed...& alot of hair in the toilet...really depressing..so i've decided to order the hairloss shampoo fm BP to give it a try... really hope it works....i dun expect wonders la like completely no more hair loss, but just hope will reduce the hair loss....read that the hair tonic will also help to promote hair growth...

Jumperoo...
ehh issit necessary to get one?? quite ex leh...& I am guessing that when my boy can sit inside & jump , he wont want to do tat...he's always trying out "new patterns" faster than he shd be...

Carmen,
acually it's my HB tt's more keen to start introducing semi solids but i dun want to do so till 6mths. hee , i'm a lazy mummy;p;p cos i feel that introducing semi solids is another stage, so alot of preperation work to be done beforehand;p
I havent even work out a schedule on how to intro semisolid..so wait till i'm ready then will intro semi solid..

IFC
Just finish BF my boy at IFC. really glad that i choose a near office IFC so I can go down every day during lunch to feed...1 thing i wasnt too happy abt today...Baby K had his last diaper change at 830am! & all the way till lunch time at 1pm still havent change! OMG, when i BF halfway, i felt his diaper quite heavy..after I finish BF & check..omg! his diaper is soak in poo! but it's wet poo, so means he just pass motion only...still i wasnt too happy that such a long interval & they didnt change his diaper often enuff...i stood there while they change his diaper to see if they got apply the desitin cream correctly at his butt.. good thing they did.

calendula cream,
yup the calendula cream works quite wonders for Baby K. whenever i see red spots (ie heat rash or small pimples) or anything I will put a bit of calendula cream for him & the next day it will be gone.

Jess, I bot mine thur BP , u run a check to see if Ima still selling in BP now?? if now the next place i saw it before is at suntect level 3, one of the kids shops..but dunno how much they sell la..fm BP think the price is $17+...
 
Jowin, tks!

Jes, me also dropping alot of hair.. Usually my bb will grab and pull my hair and when he lets go, his hand will have 4-5 strands of hair. Very scary! Going bald soon. OMG 6 mths!!! By then still got hair or not? haha

Renting Jumperoo, I'm also considering to rent but rental is only for 1 month. If want to extend then 2 months abt $100 already.. so buying second hand cheaper??3

Pastilles, Jumperoo seems fun cos bb can jump and jump.. Dunno la.. Just my opinion cos if not whole day play gym like pretty boring.
 
Jess,

yup my mum used sesame oil meant for cooking...she tried using baby oil n olive oil many times but not much effect too so she angry used sesame oil instead haha..

apply abt 10 mins before bath then rinse off.. 1st time u should be able to see the difference.
 
mybaggies(pastillies)

IFC
I now indicate it in bold on the board that my boy needs diaper change every 2 hrs regardless of the wetness of the diaper to ensure that he will be change often plus I insist that they've to use the wet wipes to clean his bottom during each diaper change. I was quite shock that they just change without using the wet wipes when my boy peed and the diaper was not too wet. For IFC, it is better to state your requirements in black and white to avoid any miscommunication.

Gathering
For those who are coming, can you pm me with your mobile no.+ nic(name) so that I can forward you my address

luth...u got my number already....

what is the web for the toyrental??the membership 48+ de...can i have the link??

thanks
 
anyone is feeding their babies similiac? i have a can of similac stage 2 (400g), giving away as my boy is drinking enfa series.
 
pastillies,
i bot hair fall control shampoo but doesn't help... & i dunno if can use hair tonic or not if still BF-ing... hopefully by 6mths later i still got hair... lol!

as for calendula cream, dun think i wan to buy now laa coz i bot too many cream/lotion for my boy before but all don't work for my boy's skin condition (super dry skin + mild eczema)... waste my money nia... think i better stick to PD's prescribed cream since it helps...

hippo,
ya can rent for a mth only... true laa if rent more than 2 or 3 mth then might as well buy a 2nd hand, but i dunno if my boy will lose interest very fast or not after buying... if i rent i can get him many different toys mah... dunno la juz my tot only... :)

joanne81,
thanks, will try ur method & see it works or not...

ivy,
here's the link: http://www.toysamonth.com.sg/index.php
 
I m so tired.. Zach woke up every 2 hrs since 11pm yesterday! He is having difficulty sleeping cos his mucus will backflow n cause him to cough n hv difficulty breathing.

At least now he is napping beside me but me not resting..need to help my mom to pick birds nest..never ever buy unnprocessed one..such tedious job man.
 
hey ladies

anyone knows where i can join in an abercrombie spree?
ive checked smh overseas sites and not many pple are doing it on a regular basis unlike AE or Forever21...
 
u know these days my boy is very happy with flipping.. he flip when ever he is awake for the past 1 week.
but hor when he sleeps he also flip leh.. so i find v scary.. will he suffocate??? (choy!) what can i do to prevent SID?? (Choy! Choy!)
 
kath,
maybe try to let Zach sleep on the side instead so the mucus won't flow back??

mayelynn,
using sleep positioner can keep baby to stay on their back while sleeping, and it's said to prevent the risk of SID wor...
 
juz,
i got e calendula cream from ima BP too

pastillies,
i dropped so much hair till got 2 lobang at forehead corners, cannt tahan man n went c gynae just now, he prescribed Regro hair tonic, hope it works!! maybe better for u to see gynae too since u still bf'g?

mayelynn,
my boy also flips while zz to zz on his tummy! was at first v worried, keep waking up to chk on him, but can see that his neck quite strong, noe how to turn ard, so now let him be liao.. coz when i try to prevent him from turning, he will cry n cry
 
yah he has progressed from sleeping in yoga position to flip in the middle of the night..

but no matter how strong the neck, after awhile no strength then how? some more hb and i sleep like pig wan.. unless he cry then we will wake up.. and u know when face down cries are muffled.. so im quite worried.
wat's a sleep positioner jess??
 
pump @ work: yea...darn siong. I just kena a few blocked ducts in the left side. Now supply reduced by 30 to 50mls! Luckily still enough. But I must do something to resume and increase the supply soon...scared wait David's appetite suddenly shoot up...

Kath: oh dear... did you try clearing his nose regularly? We use this little device and suck baby's mucus out. Quite effective.

Positioner: I'm using that too. David still doesn't sleep well in his court. Need partial swaddling + positioner at night. (I blame my MIL entirely for that!) He doesn't like the positioner I bought. He prefers the one which I improvised with a cloth napkin drapped over two baby bolsters.
 
spag, i din clear his nose..the suction thingy dun work one leh..
sad.gif
now no choice but to depend on PD's medicine to take effect. I oso dunno wat to do liao..it's been a week leh. coupled that he got such bad rashes because of allergy reaction. I m so silly din notice it last time
 
hi Luthadel,
ya I think I will definately do that tom, to indicate clearly they MUST change his diaper at max 3hrs...cant believe it..how can they not change his diaper fm 830am till 1pm...haiz..


Hey mayelynn,
u got rec ur wristlet?? like it?!
happy.gif


Jes, u mean shampoo no use...oh no!! ehh i didnt koe BF cant use hair tonic leh...

Cindy, i tot precisely bcos we still BF so better not take any medicine?? tt's y i tot of tyring to use shampoo n hair tonic...my thinking is it's external rather than internal...
 
Jes,
since u hv so many cream la, ya la, jus stick to PD prescribe cream la..dun waste $$
happy.gif


Emeraldbride, tot u BF, how come u also give Zach FM??

Spag / Jess,
I hv a sleep positioner too, but seems like no use for my boy...he moves too much in his sleep! when he moves n moves, after awhile, his head will hit the cot end n then no more space for him to move, he will cry... so i hv to wake up to shift him back....then he moves again..n the whole cycle starts again..haiz.. i can wake up 3-4 times a nite just to shift him..not feed him...
sad.gif
 


pastillies,

I thought my baby is the only one that moves around the four corners in her sleep!!! Somemore, her cot is a junior convertible and she has been doing that since mth 1. But I didn't shift her when she hit her head or when she can't turn back to her usual lying back position (cos she rolls over from back to stomach)...let her explore herself:p
