(2009/03) March 2009 MTBs

Thanks Areya for consoling me.
Thanks Scrumpee too.

My baby lim suppose to have her 2nd 5-in-1 jab this Sat, have to postpone 1 week later.
So sian... most likely she is going to get fever again after the jab. Heart pain again...
 


idlecat,
Dun feel so bad.. Most imptly, ur gal has recovered. Anyway, there's a few good kids clinic around Hougang. There's one called Saw clinic and another one called Kidslink, I think. Nt too sure.. But all got long queues.

sunshinebb,
Ya, very effective for me. Almost double my ss
 
sunshine ...

for me oso q good ... can see the difference aft just 2-3 days that why i want to buy now as 1 bottle only last me for 11 days cos 1 day take 9 .... siong man

typical interval of 5hr can get 8oz and once i reach home i still need to latch on Shao Han which is only like 2 hr from the last pump and he can still drink and zzz

though my breast feels soft but got the let down sensation so i think inside still got milk hahahaha

u think abt it and let me know
 
idlecat
*hugs* dun feel sad.. dun reprimand urself further.. itz not ur fault.. dun be upset if ur mom scolded u coz when it comes to grandchild, they will no matter mild or serious case.. i always ganna from my mom lor.. even like the way i carry my boy or putting him to sleep without having blankie on him when i thought tat "come on the weather so hot".. she just dun wan bb to catch a cold due to such neglection lo..
 
oops, think I missed the Kindermmusik Trial Class. Anyone wants to organise another one?? Please PM me if you do!

Agree with Starflower, please don't mention who has bought what on Saturday please :D

Prosper, congrats on joining the ranks of SAHM!

P3pper, I will see you at Babysigns right? Ziv's Sophie is waiting to see him!

The rest of the mummies who I posted Sophe to and Kome. Did you get them yet??

Idlecat, don't worry, we know how you feel.

Prosper, Missycandy, Grace Chng, I'm going to collect the Hipp FM tomorrow. Next shipment will come end Jul/early Aug. I'm asking them to come to the 6th Month bash too but they may not be able to as they are moving. They're passing me some organic biscuits for our bubs to try. Not sure if it's Hipp brand too. Will distribute at the Babysigns.

Nice meeting all mummies yesterday at Vivo for lunch .
 
hello mummies..

has not been posting much lately...but did managed to read the thread with scrolling back...

miss83..
ugin is taking avg 150-180ml 4hrly...and sometimes 3.5hrly. wakes up for his night feed still....but goes back to sleep almost immediately..but at times he might miss one of the feed...but does not take extras even if i top it up.
poos....2 days once...but of late he poos 2 times...watery.

SOLIDS..
ugin has began his 1st solids 3days ago..
went to the PD supposedly for her to check if he can go for his jab on thus...coz he recovered from fever (due to teething)...INSTEAD..she popped a tsp worth of puree into his mouth and postponed his jab till end of the mth..
surprisingly...ugin took it very well and seeed to love it..hehehe
so every morning coz he does not seemed hungry when he wakes up..i will give him his 2 cudes( froze the puree) and feed him.hehehe.
she recommeneded puree for baby aged 4mth onwards 1st coz its more digestive and also tastier then the rice cereal..will go to cerealk till he turns 6mths...

milk supply...
guess i might have to stop him on BM soon...although i have planned on 6 mths hopefully..vut i will still endure till the end.hahaha.....supply has been really dipping low...
sad.gif

but am glad of myself that i can last till now from the thought of not being able to produce..hehee
*pat on my own shoulder*

ASURA
hope you are feeling better and the lump will go away by tomolo...
yup i know in the states is kinda hard to see a doc esp if you need medication while not feeling well has to collect it yourself at the pharmacy..urrggghh..but then again they have alot of lactation help too..
maybe can look for it in the net to standby???
anyway take care. hugs...
 
hey mummies...

just to share with you regarding SOLIDS advised by my PD..incase you are planning to start baby real soon..

4mths onwards

fruit puree
1. peaches &amp; banana 1-2weeks/ till baby gets sick of it.
2. apples
3. pear

veg puree
1. peas
2. pumpkin
3. sweet potatoes
4. carrots ( might cause harder stools)

then after 1 myths plus or till baby is 6mths onwards then intro rice cereal.

Fruit/ Veg puree from 1-2 cubes a day ( if frozen) - depends on baby intake abilities...
 
daphne, the puree is homemade de or buy off the shelf de? Anyone has any idea how to make our own? Think it's time for me to buy some books or go library...
 
irene, better to make them ourselves. fresher and healthier than off the shelf..bottled ones are cooked till very high temperature for the purpose of preserving and thus killed more nutrients than home-made ones.

for fruits puree like apple and pear, u need to steam them first before putting into the blender. blend it till u get a smooth consistency and add the water from steaming to dilute it esp when our babies are still new to solid food. whereas banana, avocado, papaya need not be cooked but must make sure they are ripe.

i have this book: Top 100 Baby Purees: 100 Quick and Easy Meals for a Healthy and Happy Baby - Annabel Karmel
very easy to follow recipes. in fact, you can also find recipes from the web.
 
One mommy here is ordering books... err.. sorry i forgot who you are, can let me have the link again? Thanks.

Corene, thanks for the tips. I'll try tomorrow. Hopefully he likes it.
 
oh Corene, one more question just pop up.

After we make the purees, we can store in the fridge is it?
Must put in freezer? How long can it last?
 
irene,
actually i am not very keen on freezing fruit purees cos the nutrients will be almost zero esp vit C. bb usually only take very small amt when they start off. What i do for fruits for my #1 last time was to use a metal spoon to scrape (for harder fruits ) or mesh (for soft fruits like banana) and feed him. Then balance of it, me or hb eat it up. Then for avocado (very good in nutrients), i will process it in blender, give bb some and the rest i will add it with milk and some ice cream for my own avocado milkshake! haha..
 
Hi irene..
recieved liao.. thanks...
btw.. do u know where to buy sterlizing tablets...

u can refer to this website for baby recipe.. happy trying!! i hv yet to try myself... will wait till when my boy is 6mths old then i will start... now still reading up on bb food n recipe..
http://wholesomebabyfood.com/

Btw.. do u mummies still swaddle yr bb?? my boy dun like to be swaddle cos he always kick n kick till hands n legs all out.. dunno shouild i insist to swaddle anymore... read from the web that is no gd too swaddle too long cos will hinder motor skill but the other time mrs wong was telling me to swaddle bb as long as possible so tat bb will secure.... confused????

wow.. sportyger..
u managed to get so manyslots for the mummies for the little gym... gd lah!! gd lah!!

Oh today is Friday!! finally can carry my Kayle back home tonite to sleep with me...SO MISS her!

yes, thanks, i shall try apple scraping tonite. THey say apple juice is good for baby complexion. Mummies do try it out!
 
My boy just came back from his 6-in-1 &amp; rotavirus. Cried so loud at the clinic just now, must be quite painful. He's 6.8kg and 64cm at 4months 3 days. Doc say he's a tall baby. She say can start solid already and reading from the mummies here, think I shall start with fruit puree than rice cereal now.
 
Princess in dreamland,

<font color="ff0000">ayambunny</font> - ur boy also abt the same as urs. now 6.7kg but i donno how tall...
 
Thank you so much for all of your concern.., very touched.
I landed up in the hospital this morning cos my fever shot up to almost 40 degrees. it was very sudden, from 37 degrees (just when i tot i recovered), it went straight up to 40 degrees... was so delirious that i almost fainted on my way to toilet..
anyway, am on antibiotics for the mastisis now.. fever is still going up and down...now feeling better so checking my boob and realised that the painful lumps has formed one big lumped... using hot stone to massage right now... while i am up to it.. damn sian..
my supply also drop by half... not sure if it is cos i am sick or cos i din have appetite to eat from all the fever... am trying to drink hot chocolate more to see if adding the calories would be good for the milk ss.
 
but strange leh... the doc here told me not to latch the infected breast... pump and pour.. at least until it is not inflammed. I tot mastisis suppose to latch as often... weird.. end up my gal now can only latch one side
 
Kat ...

Sure you can place your order at this link =) easier for me to consolidate.

vernice ...

will tt by today

re: puree

i usually prep a huge portion and then freeze it cos once you freeze it ... all the nutrients are 'locked' in

say if you buy an apple from the mkt and you immed puree and freeze it ... the nutrients are locked in ... and if you only feed bb on say Day 3 then its the nutrient level of Day 3 ... hope you all understand what i mean =p

i usually put in BM to the puree rather than water
 
Asura, take care gal! Hope you will get well soon.

Vernice, will tt you by today!

princess, ya let us know how is the trial, whether it is worth going.

Prosper,
I only made a few so far. For girl giraffe I only have the original pink kimono one which I posted on my FB and on this forum, plus a new turquoise coloured one. Will bring both plus the blue grey one on Sat. BTW, will sell the first 4 at 10% off, at $35.90. hehehe

if i'm not wrong interested ones so far are
Prosper
Ivy
Seabreeze
queenie? skimmed through yesterday's thread thought i saw your post

Think some of you have to pre-prder liao cos I haven't have time to make more.
happy.gif


forgot who else liao. Can PM Me instead? cos I hardly monitor thread now

Ok time to launch my Ollie the Owl. heeeeeeeeee
still deciding whether to make this a taggie hanky (flat but quite thick cos of the material) or a plushie cum taggie (with stuffing).

This is 11 inches tall by 9 inches wide.
4 types of texture
- 100% cotton
- wool felt (soft, good for bb. not cheapo &amp; rough acrylic felt used for craft and hair accessories)
- grosgrain printed ribbons (generous 7/8" thick ribbons, not the 3/8 tiny ones)
- soft good quality fleece as backing.

close up. Eye part is handstitched.

2671359.jpg


can't claim credit for design. Saw something I like on etsy and modified it to suit my taste. Anyway the etsy selling is selling USD40 plushie only, just a bit smaller size, no ribbon tags.

For taggie hanky I'm thinking $25.90 and plushie cum taggie $29.90.

What do you think?
happy.gif


will add on a stroller strap if requested.
 
asura?! just saw your earlier post when I posted mine.
Wh are you in hospital??!! what happened to you? Oh my goodness. Ar you ok now?? So poor thing, to fall sick when family if not around. Will slowly scroll up to read but am still at 8 Jul thread now. Take care babe! BE strong. We all miss you here.
 
Kome,
hehe don't mention it. Sometimes I am also too lazy to search for stuff on mar09 thread cos it moves so fast!

Prosper,
errr think tomorrow I come look for you when your hubby is not next to you. Will feel bad to lie to him leh so err ... I will privately seek you out. If he finds out and object then bo bian lor. Hope he will be ok with. Wow you girl will have a lot of handmade with love stuff, incl. the shoes eh.

Sinmey,
how? managed to talk to your boss?

Seabreeze,
muak muak muak so sweet. Btw what is CFM? OK will mix and match for you with red velvet. No blue velvet for now I'm afraid. If you are coming tomorrow you will see the turquoise blue one that is very nice, soft colours that suit both gender. It has all the colours you mentioned in front. In fact I made that with you in mind lah cos I sometimes pop in and out to read so saw your post earlier.

Irene,
 
alfafa,

thanks! went hospital cos the fever almost hit 40 degrees.. and no Gps were open at that time.. hb felt that should not delay treatment further...
Yah... very chaim here, i need to latch, massage, pump and still look after bb while having high fever..
the good news is.. my fever subsided (else i wouldnt be able to post now), still having slight fever.. but at least is not the high until would faint kind... and since i am better, i got down to use the hot stone
must say hot stone is veryeffective.. at least the huge lump (many small lumps has gathered and form a huge hard lump in the centre) feels softer now..hopw that my fever dont come back so that i can continue on it..

ok.. shall go sleep now.. was pumping just now that's why i came online..
happy.gif


Probably can meet up at vivo for lunch when i am back.. office is at DTTB..
happy.gif
quite near while i still have car.. :p
 
alfafa,

very creative as usual
happy.gif
big staring eyes!! i prefer if the eyes are a bit simpler with irises bigger like this http://crochetme.com/tags/kawaii so it looks cuter
happy.gif
think cos there are so many patterns already the rays in the eyes make it all a bit complicated, but that's my opinion lah
happy.gif
really nice all the same!
 
irene,
Hey hey think you can conduct a scrap booking gathering? What do we need to prepare? Actually I am not a scrapbooking person myself but then I really would like to make a special keepsake for my baby girl. So that I can show her that when she is older, or give it to her as present when she reaches adulthood. I've seen some really beautiful ones.

Wow amazing. You must have immense patience to do scrapbooks. I always take pictures then never look at them again, let alone print out plus put descriptions etc.

Yah I also know. The Angmos are more into handmade stuff, be it making them or paying a premium for them. The mentality here is why pay more for handmade leh? Hehehe uniqueness is still not that important here I guess. It's a double whammy for us in Asia because most of the nice materials have to be imported from places like USA and they really inflat the cost of handmade products grossly.

I;m serious about the scrap booking gathering leh.

oh yah... i forgot to mention, during the day, i go to one of the wives' place so that she can help me with bb while i rest and also just in case, i am feeling faintish and cant handle bb.
