(2008/12) December 2008 MTBs

tamiflu jab is the flu jab lor.. keke.. 1 jab nia..

ypg.. dun worry too much la.. its a common procedure and i think the medical services in SG is very advanced n professional. jia you jia you!
 


Phyl,
I can imagine as much... Since my dotter also screams when I drip the nasal drop in her nose! Me and hb had to hold her head in place so she dun keep moving her head fr side to side!!!

mimi,
I ever saw BPA free avent bottles sold at Robinson...

ypg,
dun worry lah... My mother went for the operation this year to have her womb removed. She was carrying so many fibroids that equal the weight of a fetus! Then started getting back aches and stuff. The operation for her was low risk (cos she dun have any other medical complications like heart problems, etc. only got slight high blood i think). She did however take pretty long (abt 1 mth plus?) to recover fully cos of her age.
 
Phyl,

my mum, hubby n myself took Flu jab in Feb..but i still have flu after the jab..then i asked GP he said that are million type of flu bug, the flu jab only can prevent some. so dont know if its really considered effective..

my hubby also asked if we should give baby flu jab next mth, since one PD recommended we should give baby esp. now got swine flu! But he will have to take 2 jabs in Jun so i think i will spare him, wait for one more month or so.
 
phyl, munchkin oso hv the same kind of feeder. I bought during Taka bb fair.

Seem that lotsa babies started on fruit alr..thought must start wif vege first cos the taste is more bland and fruits are sweeter, scared bb dun wanna eat vege next time??
Oh, besides rice cereal, other mummies feeding bb other flavor??

ypg, dun worry abt ur mummy's op. My c-sect itself oso nearly cost $6K so $10 to do womb removal is ok lar.. wat did the dr say abt the risk of this op? Cheer up ok..

joanne.. hmm.. ya i know got millions of diff strains.. headache la..

snowger ah.. now hayden gotta be on neb and also gotta do nasal spray n nose drops + to magic potions!! sian hor when they fall sick..

kath.. haha.. so funny u.. compare the risk of op with relation to the price.. keke.. but womb removal is a very common procedure la.. i saw the muchkin one b4 also.. got cup meh? i tot only got the mesh and a ring only?
 
snowger, i havent get back to u regarding the bfree bottles leh.

now got so many sales. today and tmr taka got additional 10% disc for card members.
 
iemik0,
this morning, the kor-kor disturb his ti-ti.. took ti-ti's leg and do circle motion.. like do exercise lidat.. so funny..

fabbie,
how's your gal? she better? no more flu and cough, i hope..

phyl,
ok... will be waiting.. kekeke..
oh ya, since you already have insurance for bb H, can you claim any of it to pay his medical bill?

oh, taka got sales!
i wanna go shop-shop later..
anyone knows if robinson/john little and isetan still have disc?
 
dee.. his insurance dun cover PD.. unless it leads to hospitalisation... then covers the b4 n after care.. sianz sianz
 
phyl,
aiya.. another way is to go polyclinic and ask for a referal to a PD.. i think the PD rate will be lower as well..
civil servant got medical benefit for family, rite? the dunno wat card.. i also hv but dunno hide where liao..
 
i need a hair cut badly!!!

Yesterday was such a busy day at work, i onie get to pump 8 minutes each time..then my right breast now got lumps. so pain and worse thing is Zach on strike, dun wanna latch on that side.
 
dee/iemik0,
my elder boy also likes to snatch didi's stuff, whenever i bought new toys for didi, kor kor will be the first one to play...

phyl,
how much u loan for the nebuliser? $10 per day?
last time i saw some mummies sell away their nebu for abt $100...

talking abt bb medical fee, at least now we can use CDA fund, last time my elder boy dun hav, so can imagine how much we have spent on him for medical due to his asthma condition, we basically brought him to see PD every month last time & when his got asthma attack even worse, the money tat spent on medical even more coz those medicine damn blardy expensive likes inhaler, singulair etc... but now slightly better coz at least can use #2's CDA fund... phew!!

kath,
why Zach dun wanna to latch??
Daniell these days dunno do wat, always like to pull & suck on my nipples only (instead of aerola) when latch him on, & ended up i got sore nipples... very pain!!
 
Snowger,

How old is ur mum? My mum is very concerned over the recovery stage. She want to resume taking care of my bb soon.

dee,

u mean the CSC card? So far, I have not used it for my daughter. Only use the CDA card during her jabs.
 
iris,
must be tough but exciting for you.. i still remember when i was getting huge and still had to carry my #1! having #2 in and out is a totally different experience altogether.. mixed feelings.. wished #2 was inside and less stress but still wanted him out so that can move normally and not like a penguin! :p

zoo!
next sun, we're going to the zoo! yay!
#1's pre-school organize zoo trip on sat but going on sun w/ friends instead.. hopefully it won't be a packed sunday coz school hols starts then!

driving
ma hubby asked me to take up driving lessons as in case he's oversea, i can drive the 2 bao-bei back from the IFC and PG.. anyone knows what i should do ah? i did my basic theory ages ago..
 
Morning ladies!

Fabbie, i asked the doctor abt the cause of his stomach flu liao...he said stomach flu is caused by contact with germs, meaning, he can come in contact with germs anytime and anywhere, esp babies at this age tend to put everything in their mouths..as for the prevention, he said good hand hygiene is the only prevention...

Phyl, u have a cat at home right? My doctor suspected that my cat could be the culprit that contributed to his tummy flu, although i keep her in the balcony..how do u isolate ur cat from being too near to ur bb?

Dee..doctor only gave him paracetamol in case his fever comes back...other than that, nothing le..i guess the purpose is to let Jordan's body produce its own immunity to fight with such virus..

Jowin, little rabbit, kukido, phyl...thks!
happy.gif


Jordan is drinking 4oz of milk today...he is showing some slight improvement so kudos to my little warrior!
happy.gif


Oh yea ypg, u mentioned abt ur PD in Bedok? Could i hv her add n contact?
 
haha.. singulair is so blardy expensive!!! 7 packets for $22.80!!!!!!!!!! hahahaha.. ya.. i post at WTB liao.. i think even 150 also can buy sia.. $10 a day is toopid!

eh.. to make it more toopid.. coz i dun trust my bbsitter n MIL, i requested my bbsitter to bring Hayden to the PD at noon to neb him there by the nurses.. and that costs and additional $15... so my neb-bing business costs easily $30 a day incl the whole buffet of meds...

sianz sianz sianz.. how i wish babies have a reset button!! then just press reset then the go back to factory settings! bleah~~

sorry la.. just hate it when he is sick all the time...
 
ypg,
yes, that's the card.. i was thinking along CDC.. hee.. i think gov will subsidize 60% of medicals, right? but must be gov. hospitals tho..

so far only used for my #1.. at NUH last year.. they have a group of PD who specializes in different things.. but don't quite like NUH coz way too many trainee docs! my #1 got admitted and there diff trainees visiting all the time and asking the same questions!! driving me nuts!
 
Sorry to hear abt ur mom ypg..but don't worry, my grandma went thru the surgery to remove her womb too...she had it when she was already 65, but ur mom is still so young, she can definitely go thru this!
happy.gif
Jiayou jiayou jiayou!!

Dee, i also wana learn driving sia...so inconvenient everytime gotta wait for my hubby..he doesn't allow me to take cab with Jordan cos he thinks taxi drivers drive like crazy.. (no offense to our beloved cad drivers on the road yar!)Anyone knows how much it is to take up driving lessons?

Fabbie, how's ur gal gal liao?
 
dee.. i think polyclinic will only refer to the specialist in the hospitals.. but to bring him to see hor.. i still need to take leave.. and specialist if not trained in paediatric.. then useless also la.. PD are able to give the age appropriate remedies...

Iris.. ya.. but CDA also need to put in first then can use ma.. so this month i deposit $500 liao.. so next month 18th then gahmen match.. if only its instant.. kekeke.. u got MS yet?
 
phyl,
i have singulair at home and not using it.. you want? you can keep it.. if PD prescribe again, maybe can say you have extra.. just tell you what's the prescription only.. HTH..
i have 7 packs of 4mg oral granuls from MSD manufacturer.. expiring jul 2010.. is it the same?
lemme know, ok?
 
phyl,
7pkt for $22.80? the one u took is sachet type one izzit? mine one is tablet type, price around the same too... imagine tat time my boy was on 6 mths singulair... one mth supply is $90+ so 6 mths supply cost us more than $500, and it's only one of his medicine!!!

i also wanna go taka sales!!! but again with bb Daniell i can't go anywhere is crowded lor, sigh!!
 
i kiasu, deposit $1k in zayden's CDA i think when he is 1 mth old. all his jabs and rota costs deduct from his CDA.

*touchwood* so far no MS but got a few ocassions when i have the puking feeling but never puke. sometimes i really forgot that i am pregnant and will run to zayden when he 'shouted' for attention. hahah... then kena scolded by my mum and hubby
 
phyl,
in NUH they have specialist paediatric.. i was quite impressed actually.. is that considered specialist ah? if yes, u can save alot, hor?
 
rachel.. hayden has bronchiolitis.. its not particularly triggered by cats.. its a viral.. hmm.. if u like Adel, clean her cats every week then the baby n cat can coexist.. if u like bur, got too many rooms, then can lock ur cat in a room, eh.. just dun be like me.. haha.. coz i dun lock my cat and i let her roam as she pleases..

i'm finding someone to adopt my cat.. so sad..
 
dee... ya ya.. same same... kekeke.. u wanna cheap cheap sell me? hmmm.. see how la.. coz if PD cannot cure him hor, i will try TCM liao..

sigh.. if med + consult $500 a month then i must kiss spree-ing goodbye liao.. no more toys.. no more teethers.. no more books.. no more dvds.... no more clothes.... arghhhhh!!

iris..i also put 1K into CDA when he full month.. but finish long ago leh.. for his jabs and also that time he in IFC...
 
Phyl,
I hate giving my ger medication. Other than screaming and moving head side to side, medicine will leak fr the side of her mouth! And it just drives me NUTS!

I had to forcefully cup her cheeks to drip the nasal drops into the mouth! (cos I have 2 types- one oral n one for nose) That's when she will scream too!

U 'giving away' ur cat? So sad right? Now my hammys are staying outside of my MIL's place... Well there's good n bad... The outside is cooler and now the ham gets fresh food everyday... :p

YPG,
my mum's older (54 yrs) when she went for the op... Dun worry la! My aunt also went for the op before (many years back) and she recovered well too!
 
phyl,
no need lah.. we xchange barang.. hee.. ok?
it's from my #1.. but bcoz he's been seeing TCM since last year.. and just recently brought him to see PD just to check out what's the prob w/ him consistantly having phlegm.. PD gave no proper answer as usual but gave us many medicine! cheh! we only gave him fluimucil (this can actually get from pharmacy w/o prescription! i wonder if it's the same for singulair) to break up the thick phlegm that he had that time as our TCM doc was away and we couldn't get any chinese med for him..
PM me your add, ok?
 
phyl...i'm also looking for someone to adopt my cat..do u know where i can find ppl tto adopt my cat? Tried pet forum but no response le...i used to hv 3 cats but now only left 1..tot Jordan will be spared by just having one cat at home but looks like i hv to give Ginger away too...i only let her roam around in our balcony..
 
snowger, phyl, fabbie...i know how it feels when our babies cry when we try to feed them medicine...just like his drip...it's for his good but why is it so difficult to see them crying and screaming!?

Jiayou mommies!
 
dee.. but then the value is higher leh... hmm.. maybe i go ask PD abt the fluimucil.. hahaha..

ur TCM good? i wanna get a 2nd opinion coz i dun like to keep giving him meds

i squeeze his cheeks and squirt it in... or clamp his head u drip it in his nose...
 
phyl,
it's OK lah..
happy.gif

wanto appreciate for the help that u gave us during the baby-bonus thingy, mah..
i find the TCM good.. He specilises in Respitory Problem.. he at clementi and sometimes at circuit road tho..
TCM and western med is different.. tho TCM takes longer time to heal but it treats the cause rather than the symptoms.. but must find a good TCM too else, back to square one and spend more $$..
 
Little rabbie
no leh. my gal didnt choke. cus she is like sucking the juice only and bit by bit. hehe
ya lor.. feed them this and that. no more liao will scream like hell de.. faints.
but also canont give so much mah. hehe

iemik0/dee/rachel
yday she cough no flame inside that i hear. but abit nose stuck like that. today got mc 2 days! and i told my company that if you need me then tmw i come in. if not i stay at home and rest. :D but i think they will call me to come back tomorrow ba. Hmmm anyway i must see zy more on weekends. then i know how she exctally feeling lor.. so far. she's happy likes to play but fussy. very fussy. and like a mad person. wana beat me wor. very strong. i last week feel that she lose weight today i carry like a weight is back le. hehe

snowger

dee.. thanks thanks.. but that was the effort of everyone in Dec thread la... zzzz... i send u the desitin with a return envelope inside lor.. no worries abt the postage la.. i better go do now.. keke
 
phyl... me yesterday went to c my co. Dr. & ask about the tamiful... its taken oral, not jab... he say no use.. normal flu jab is better... so we both gg to jab next wk cause need at least one wk for the antibodies to develop.

rachel... hehehe u oso got cat... my poor cat is locked up in one of our spare rm, although very poor thing but better than giving him away....he won't be able to survive as a stray as we pick him up since he's one month old and he had been with us for coming 3yrs...
 
ladies... there is this super nice mummy who PM me after seeing that i wanted to buy the nebuliser machine.. there is actually a portable one that doesnt need electricity n its easy to use and each application is less that 2mins. She says its a GP but specialises in asthma and bronchitis.. hmm.. i will bring hayden there next monday!!

bur- oops.. ya.. then i think i blur blur liao.. ya.. its not tamiflu but the normal flu jab that is recommended.. how much ur GP charge?
 
fabbie,

ya ALL babies eventually know how to clamp their mouths tight when it's medicine time. Later on when they're bigger, they will be ok.

Calista is having a slight running nose too and I can hear phlegm in her throat at times too. Damn it. hate it when they're ill - they get fussy. *sigh*
 
bur - hannor..thats exactly what my hb n i are thinking...Ginger has been with us for 4 years since she was 3 months old..if we abandon her she can nvr survive outside! There was once she accidentally fell off the balcony, and after searching for 7 hours, we found her trembling and traumatized hiding in a corner..poor little thing, i bet she didn't dare to move at all!

Sadly but true, noone wants to adopt an older cat like ours...
sad.gif


hey phyl..the mommy is so nice hor..thank god there are really nice ppl in this world else we will b living in an ugly world!
happy.gif
 
sigh seems like most of our babies are sick...doctor at KKH told me recently there are many babies who are warded due to stomach flu like Jordan...sigh...blame it on the stupid flu bug!
 
dee & jess
tink will hav big headache once didi knows how to play wif toys. now onli teether oreadi gone case. lolx.

dee
if u got basic theory le, go apply for advanced theory & book driving lessons. depends on whether u wan take sch lessons or wif pte instructor. i took mine wif pte one. hehe. forgot abt price coz i got my licence abt 6yrs back. hehe.

flumicil is to help 'dissolve' phglem. effective n cheap. hehe. tink bb can take 1/2 sachet once a dae.

feeding medication
there's actually no need to b frustrated. if bb struggles alot n kick, wrap bb in blanket n place on bed. den u place one arm on bb body gently n one on forehead. so tt leave ur hands free. so one hand hold syringe n d other to squeeze bb cheeks. push meds abit at a time n at the side. if bb refuse to swallow, pinch d nose for a couple of secs n meds will go down.

tt's wat we do at work la. if not, meds wun go down one. =p
 
i also feel like continuing my driving. i failed it when i was 8wks.. hmm.. will go for pte.. last yr each 1.5hrs costs abt $45 then if circuit gotta pay circuit $20+++

dee.. i send liao..
 
last time when i learn driving (pte), 1 hr is $24 leh. this is so many yrs ago. i got my driving licence for 11 years liao but i never drive before. hubby dun dare to let me drive!
 


Sam/rachel
Ya lor.. jialet.. i think theres alot of people getting flu.. and cough.. haiz.. hope this period of time can faster clear man.

iemik0
so cute. still pinch their nose.. theres once i feed her med with my syringe. at the side of her mouth she can choke n cough n cough. duno is real or bluff one de. lol i think if u want me to wrap my gal. i think she will scream like mad. damn ti ki de. lol
