litter rabbit,
If ur bb is not in distress (i.e. crying), then more likely he is just being excited and experimenting with his voice (& volume). At this stage, most bbs are getting fascinated with the sounds they can make so its pretty normal.. my bb does the same thing and then laughs as well. At times she will quieten down when i start talking to her in a quiet and low tone face to face. Bbs also enjoy looking at faces so having face to face contact may help to distract ur bb from the 'screaming'.

Pas,

ya I think the COACH 42043 – SOHO LEATHER FRENCH WALLET is gorgeous ...

... and the COACH 13194 - HERITAGE STRIPE Small Satchel ... sigh. so nice.

 

[juzyounme]

A managed to lose some weight. He is abt 8.3kg now. I think the reason on why he slimmed down, apart that his feed is stretched to 4hrs, is coz he is finally sick this wk. So all 4 babies in IFC down w cough n running nose. 1 is hospitalised. 1 stay at home. so left A & another baby going to toddler group soon.

PD did mention that if A still not well after 1 week, chances of being at risk of bonchitis is high, coz babies don't know how to spit phelgm out or blow mucus out. the PD gives some advice, which i haven't heard of so far - 1) put lesser milk powder for his feed. 2) try to make him sit up more to prevent phelgm & mucus going into lungs. 3) dig his nose at least morning n night. anyway, coz he is sick, i am sick too. *sniff*. my hb asked me to take baby's medication.

initially we went to pharmacy counter to ask for medication for cough w phelgm & running nose. pharmacist said their medication not for babies below 2yrs old, so encouraged us to see doc. after a lot of wondering whether to take him go PD or GP, finally took him to PD since it's his 1st time sick & his classmate already landed in hospital.

A is rather strange. He refuses to drink milk, only 60ml this morning's feed, understand from IFC teacher that he can finish a full bowl of cereal yesterday & still crying for more after that. (Is Frisocrem that nice?). A is also v funny, he doesn't like the pigeon rubber spoon, he likes tollyjoy hard plastic spoon which IFC is using. -_-" so the teacher asked me to bring back his feeding spoon, bowl, etc and use the ones at IFC. i was thinking of getting him 1 feeding set of his own, coz the spoon at IFC is not "personalised" n seems a bit worn out.

despite all the spreading of illness in IFC, i think it's still kind of "good" to send him to IFC. His teacher emailed me photos when he fought with a baby 1 mth older than him. They were pulling each other's romper and with "buay song" expression on their faces. now i'm wondering when he is older, how to discipline him in not fighting with others.

[babyfifi]

Re: Happy Bellies
The cereal are at my home already. Mass collection on 3rd May 12nn-1pm or by appointment.

 

[momlouis]

little rabbit,
ya agreeed with aurorin. ur baby just scream or cry with scream?

Solid Food:
yesterday visited the PD for the 6-1 jab + rotavirus, the PD commented my baby has the sensitive skin, so only can start the solid after 6 months. so eager to see him to start the first food. but, i quite insist that the 1st spoon is given by me instead of my SIL or PIL.

 

[momlouis]

side way sleep:

hi, need to get advice. my boy recently can sleep at his side, but, the problem is when he fall back to his back, he will feel irritated, then rub his eye and head, follow with cry. how to prevent the baby fall back from side to back?

 

[emeraldbride]

fabbie, the industry u're in easy to look for alternative job? Ur job nature i suppose is like tat bah.. sometimes busy sometimes not, but if the package is not attractive, gotta find somewhr else..each time change job, salary n benefit oso better mah.

fifi, i hv not paid u for the clothes book leh. Can i Cod instead? So lazy to add bene n perform funds transfer.. lately very tied up wif this pumping milk business..haha

 

[emeraldbride]

alison, place a pillow beside him so that he dun get to roll back to his back..hehe

 

[pastillies]

Kath,
yes definately, if i'm in ur shoes, i'll also make these scarifices for my boy. tt's y thou it's really tiring to every lunch walk up walk down to BF, but i'm also still perserving on..see how long I can do it.
p/s send out ur item this morning le

Jowin, i sms u later.
snowymum / maylene, replied ur emails last nite le.. sorry reply so late, must settle our little prince first..

sam, hee yup yup, of cos nice la! hehe so u tempted liao?? ;p

Juz! wah! Baby A can give the "buay song" face ah;p;p so good ur IFC still update u with picutres via email.
My Bb K is having a lot of mucus & nose block too! I've tried using the pigeon thingy to suck out the mucus but doesnt work...tired to clean it with also cannot as he keep shifting his head here & there & I scared i might accidently "injure" him if i forecfully clean..

Fabbie,
luckily still can reimburse cab fare...haiz treat as work committment lor tat u cant claim OT. Ya times flies very fast, this time last year we just preggy only, very soon will be year end & our babies wil be 1 yr old. Just hang-on. seems like ur job also quite seasonal? if sometimes can be free ,sometimes super busy??

 

[snowymum]

2nd baby,
If no takers for the pre-mix formula, I think I am going to post up at the "WANT TO.." section. Since we meeting, you wanna pass me your samples then I give them all away tog? Wonder if anyone in our thread wants them... I got about 11 bottles!!! And I am "throwing" away 4 bottles of Similac cos they expire on 30Apr n my hb insist I waste them and not my own BM! -__-'' My ger dun like Enfalac leh n I find the soy smell very strong... So I sticking to give her Similac when she pass 6mths.

I going town today!!! U wanna meet me to collect?

Xuelyn,
My PD told me my ger has blocked nose n cough so cause her not to drink well. Review on 30th. Scary she is still having the cold lor.

But the medication provides relief for her. So she's drinking like normal now.

Also shifted her cereal to aft milk since she can finish it either way.

mommylouis,
I read somewhere n apparently avoid feeding allergy causing foods (e.g. peanut) to babies may still cause food allergies in the child when they grow up... Think Nestle Cereal is still the safest first food to give.

Pastillies,
Will check my email later! Thanks

Gals who participated in the parenting bk BP:
pls get ur refund ok? The BP is cancelled liao. I got my refund yesterday.

*Phew*

Fifi,
When the bks coming? I COD u easier since we stay next blk to each other niah. *excited!*

 

[firstbaby]

Snowger, I wont be gg town later so can only meet u another day to get the milk bags fr u. Thanks ya. Can post in the Free items section. I got 2 bottles only. Wah, u got so many bottles. Hospital gave me half a dozen bottles.

 

[babyfifi]

Emeraldbride:
Can COD if you are self-collecting. I'm still waiting for the delivery of the books.


Fabbie:
Try this instead. Use cotton wool, damp with water or FRESH breast milk, roll/twist it and use that to clean the nose instead. Its gentler. Sometimes if use the mucus thingy too much, may irritate the nose and cause more mucus. But under certain circumstances, it's still more useful.


Snowger:
I'm chasing them. Will sms u when I get them. Then you can come take and COD.

 

[vandan]

aurorin (aurorin) ,

Thank you.. Thank you for liking my daughter's hair.. hahaha even though she got patches after her haircut. I really enjoyed out meeting, thanks for the frappe.. Yummy..
It is good to know that we share many similar views.. I am sure we will have fun hanging out in Melbourne.. Oh boy.. I sound so teenager, Well let me know if you fee again... My treat next..

Your gal is really a very happy jelly bean... I envy her head so round, my gal if not for the massive amt of hair you will see the flatness at the back of her head.. Daddy's fault.

Snowger

Yea man... I pump and throw... sad huh! but better then dnt pump and milk production goes down..

 

[snowymum]

2nd baby,

[luvudeepdeep]

morning ladies..
raining again, but better rite?

finally daniell did his 1st flip this morning, from back to tummy, w/o any assistance... too bad i was on the phone helping my hubby to check his flight status, if not i will be able to see the whole 'process' & take photo... i'm very happy but in the same time also worry coz this will mean tat next time i cant leave him unattended le...

pastillies,
very tempted to get the AMANDA satin wristlet laa... heard it's big enough to put whole wallet plus hp rite? is it suitable for attending wedding dinner?

 

[jowinbaby]

Hi Pas
Paiseh n thanks for everything

Baby Ashlynne also use that pigeon thing to suck it out n she SCREAM when we use it on her... shortly after she show us a " buay song" face.. like we ill treat her lor. kekekek...

Hi Jes
My mum called n said my ger trying to flip on the rocker... Gosh.. afraid that she will flip out of the rocker lor...

 

[ab_bur]

little rabbit, my ger oso like that... scream so loudly, her IFC complain to me say she wants to be carry, ask me if we always carry her, i said no lah, then ask the IFC to let her scream, they say cannot, she scream so loud till ppl think they ill treating her...

mommy louis, my ger oso like to sleep sideway but end always end up facing front then pek chek & start rubbing eyes, face & ears. use pillow against her back oso no use...

 

[esthers]

snowger...
If no taker, I will take your enfalac
My boy is drinking it, and he likes it I guess.. till now havent change any milk powder.
But how to meet you? I can meet you red hill.

 

[jowinbaby]

snowger
u BF totally rite, why got so many tin of FM??
haha.. i only have 3 tin of samples...

 

[emeraldbride]

juz got bk fr PD..Zach onie weighs 6.5kg n 67cm.

which means he onie put on 100g in 3 weeks. Prob is dr say he dun look like 6.5kg so i wonder if their scale is spoilt. Hahaha

She recommend zach start on solid aft 6 mth when his tummy is stronger. She oso say usually if bb is allergy to cows milk, chances r they'll reject soy as well. So stick to breastmilk. Mummy gotta work harder to pump..hehe

She oso say his skin is dry but i aplied moisturiser diligently leh..lately even mix wif massage oil to increase hydration but still the same. Any recommendation?

 

[luvudeepdeep]

kath,
daniell also has super dry skin (think u touched him b4 rite) & i'm applying physiogel cream on him twice a day & his skin improves so much... but did u ask ur PD to recommend good moisturiser for Zach since she comment that Zach's skin is dry?

 

[aurorin]

JE,
I am actually hoping to lose weight in Melb! With all the housework, cooking and taking care of bb on my own. Plus walking (to save on petrol!). Sure, will have sometime nice once in a while as a treat but i think small family of 3.. probably meals will be quite simplified la..

Pluf,
Haha no prob. Your treat next time. Well, at least your girl has hair lor.. my one patchy plus no hair. Definitely looks like a boy. Almost 10 out of 10 strangers have commented "your BOY so cute" since she was born. Worried about the head being flat? My MIL always say must 'rub' it to make it round round.. not sure it works but hey, my hubby's head is flat and he is fine!

Ya.. we can 'hang out' in Melb at the end of the year.. maybe find jobs at the local supermart. Hahahah.. Summer will be fun.. can plan picnics with the kiddos or a drive up the mts.

 

[pastillies]

Jes,
yup! same here! i'm also happy that my boy can do his own flipping le! but tat means no more being left along for even a split second on our bed... we used to put him on our bed in the morning while we prepare to go to work (i.e makeup, etc..) he likes to see wat are we doing. but now have to confine him to his baby cot, cant afford to me putting on makeup halfway & Baby K fliping off our high high bed...

yup it's large enuff for a wallet like wat maylene said. But I nv put my whole wallet in, cos i think my wallet too fat!!! (too much various discount cards) so i will only put some essential cards & cash & makeup when i use it when going out for dinner. Cos it's satin so it's damm classy, suitable for wedding dinners of cos...
u think abt it..

aurorin, me too! i oso worry abt his head, he used to sleep one side, so now flat on one side...i have alreayd tried to "rub" but doesnt really work leh..

Kath, i'm using Baby Sebmad body lotion as a massage daily lotion..quite hydrating i felt...for more intense "treatment", i will use the califonia cream..

Jowin,no prob.

 

[phyl]

hmm.. seems like Hayden is very fat... he was 8.475kg last friday... but PD din say anything abt his weight...

kath.. zach still tall even after measuring correctly la.. hayden 65.5cm nia leh...

 

[phyl]

Kath.. PD gave hayden Aqueous Cream... same thing that mimi's PD gave Zayden for his skin.. can be bought from guardian...

PD told me to put desitin at his neck.. coz his neck is red n raw... i used to put the aqueous cream...

keke.. adel will tell u to use GAIA soothing lotion... which alot of ppl tell me not bad..

my house i got practically every lotion liao lor.. coz hayden is diagnosed with atopic eczema... the sebamed lotion is nice.. the nappy cream so so nia.. the bubble bath is pH5.5..

hayden uses either cetaphil or sebamed bath only.. coz PD say if not pH5.5 then will coz his skin to be drier n sensitive...

bur,
oh dear! Hope that the dermatologist can get rid of the fungus soon! Is it itchy for the baby?

jowin,
10pm then eat dinner? :/ Well.. at least its a long weekend.. try to rest and spend more time with bb ya?

 

[little_rabbit]

aurorin and momlouis,
My bb just screaming to us instead of crying. He likes to scream for few mins then stop or take a break and continue screaming again. It's happen when I placed him on the playmat, baby cot or stroller.
haha.. Maybe this is his way try to call us to carry him bar. We are bad parent not attend to him and just tell him be quiet, we will carry him for a while once he truns to cry...

 

[aurorin]

hey little rabbit,
not sure if you want to try this.. if you think that his screaming is a mode of communicating to you (i.e. to be carried), it is best that you try to calm him down first (personally i find distracting bb either by talking in a low tone face to face or jiggling a toy with sound) BEFORE you carry him. That is to break the connection between screaming behv with carrying response. Most of the time, it is likely he just need abit of attention only... so may not even need to carry...

That said, depending from bb to bb, must try individual methods lor.. but whatever you try, just be consistent... it takes a while for bb to understand what mummy/daddy is trying to do too.

Dont say that you are bad parent la.. we all are just trying our best for our kiddos right?

 

[fabbie]
