Jasmin ..

Yes v common ... at first i always so worried but after a few times .. i look foward to see rashes hahahaha cos means the fever will be gone.

This is esp true when they have very high and pro-long fever ... but usually if baby is still alert, happy and active ... not a major concern

If very high fever ... the best way to bring the fever down is to bath the bb in warm water - NOT SUPER COLD cos might get fits - allow the baby to play for a few minutes and this will bring the temperature down v quickly.

Kome ...

I can understand your anxiety ... i super hate it when they fall sick ... esp if comes with fever ... v worrying and fever tend to shoot up in the middle of the night
 
jojo,

Alfafa,

Was going to touch on insurance then my pump session end... so here's part 4 of my travel series...
happy.gif


Tip #2: Buy Travel Insurance

Basically no insurance means totally zero chance of being looked at in the hospital. Do make sure the coverage is high for medical expenses just in case. USA's medical cost is freaking expensive. My visit there to diagnose that i got mastisis and get prescription cost me ~US$460, which was more than what i paid for both me and bb C's insurance. Whew! I bought AIG.. very impressed with them i must say.. called them before i went to hospital and they advised for me to call back should the bill be estimated to be higher than S$5000 cos they would pay direct. Good news right? COs travel insurance is normally on a reimbursement basis, imagine if the cost goes higher than 10K? where to find the cash to pay first right? When i submitted my claim, there were a lot of missing documents cos i din know what to keep. Submitted my claim with a covering letter and the cheque came with no questions asked. really impressed.

Tip #3: Make do without toiletries

On my trip there... i packed my usual toiletries to use on board, cleanser, toner, etc... end up, never even used it.. hahaha.. so dont bother packing all these lah.. try to bring something that is allin one.. dont have time to use... too busy looking after baby... hahhaa For toys.. i brought but end up she was sleeping through the whole flight back so no use at all. And bb is actually quite happy to be sticking onto me allthe time.

Tip #4: Carrier or Stroller

U can actually choose to check-in the stroller at the check-in counter or check-in stroller at the gate. If u check in the stroller at the gate, u get to push the stroller at the airports. Not very useful in my opinion cos my stroller went on the wrong flight for my SF leg.. grrr.. Also for stroller, u have to carry baby from stroller at the security check points and put the stroller into the X-ray machines. Real troublesome

I think u are more comfortable with carrier. For carriers, u dont need to carry baby out. Just wear the carrier with bb in. However, make sure that there is absolutely nothing that is metal on the carrier (not even metal buttons) else u would have to end up removing them. Quite a hassle when u are alone with the baby. By the way, some under-wired bras do activate the sensor so just wear nursing bra lah... too troublesome.

Hee hee... that's the end of my travel series. I hope that it is really useful for u.
 
Mangogal and Seabreeze
hugzzzz...work is like dat lor...especially for us, neither at the top nor at the bottom, so stuck in between. For me, after ganna a few times, me and my boss have learnt a new strategy..i.e highlight our achievements to the Senior Management regularly via email so that they can't say we didn't do anything. Don't care if they read their emails but at least we do our part by giving them regular reports.

8.7 kg baby...wow...I hope the baby is healthy and will not have difficulty in his growth man.
 
Lenny
I feel sorry for u.. cos i am going thru all these shit too... feel like crying many times.. and i am stayin with them...sigh...

when i have the time i will elaborate more..

i am just curious, if there is a divorce, who will get the baby custody of the bb and hubby has the right to give mtnc?
 
Sharlin, lipstar..

haiz.. its over la.. but not forgotten and not forgiven..

hubby told me he felt bad that his parents treats me this way.. so he will sayang me more to compensate.

He also know that if he can't stop them, i will. and i hope the day that i will take drastic measures don't come.

Mummies,
Thanks for listening to me on ranting
happy.gif
 
lenny
same. i hope our marriage n family wont be affected. i m suffering mentally n physically here..

hubby knows his parents one kind and me one kind yet wants all of us to stay tog. and i am the one who suffer. yet he always said when quarrel arrive, i always said wanna move out.. moreover that is not my house...i have no saying power.. i m push to one corner by them..
 
<font color="ff0000">kris</font> - yaya cannot always Mac breakkie lah...will be fat u know. I am not like u, always so slim.

<font color="ff0000">ivy</font> - okok...kris is always the main organiser for mac breakkie, not me.

<font color="ff0000">jtho/lipstar</font> - yaya just read that news!! I wonder how she carried her bb till that weight? should be very torturous.
 
Riverie Island

If Divorce... depends on a lot of factors on baby's custody.. i didn;t really have info yet.

i heard something like.. baby girls will go to mum and boys will go to dads..

and it depends on what environment can the parents give the child.. financially etc..

i actually discussed with hubby before... if really one day i had to leave him,.. he told me that he will let me have Bree cos he thinks i can bring her up better than he can.. he dun want Bree to grow up like him under his parents' care.. where his parents decide everything for him and emotionally blackmail and led him to choose what they want for him indirectly.

whereas.. my parents let me and my brother choose our own paths and warn us of consequences.. and we are told to handle the consequences of our choices. we are trained to be independent since young.. i was "thrown" here in Singapore on my own at 7 yrs old to fend for myself.. Although under care of "guardian".. but still.. everything on my own.. sometimes.. i dun even have food for dinner. so. bla bla bla.. donlt wanna go into details.. what's past is past la..
 
Reverie Island

for divorce, the court usually favours the wife on custody issues. the younger the child, the higher chance the wife will have care and control of the child.

Hi Lenny / Reverie island,

I know inlaws can affect marriage of a couple. Cos last time my hubby and i quarrelled it was because of a relative from my hubby's side (tat took care of my son last time)..., i almost wanted to shout out the 'D' word.
But just hang in there...

HI mummies

Took leave today. Kyan down with fever from the 6-in-1 jab yesterday...sobz...mummy heartpain gotta force the medicine down his throat through his wails, screams and cries
sad.gif


Saw the huge baby article...its like WOW...i wonder how big the tum tum of the mami is...cannot imagine...kyan has not even reached like 7kg yet. He's already 6mths...PD says he's on the lower percentile range...small and lightweight...i'm actually worried cos he hasn't gained even 1kg since his previous visit at the PD when he was 4mths...PD asked me to try to get him to drink more milk...but how to when he refused to drink...sighz...mus hit like a 800ml mark daily lo...he can drink like 600 to 700ml i already thank god liao...

anyway i jus finish making apple puree for him and also warmed up a little of my EBM to prepare to add into the puree...but he slept =______= i actually boiled the whole apple without peeling off the skin...is that correct? now i put into the fridge after i puree...how long can i keep in the fridge for?
 
<font color="ff0000">jtho</font> - by comparison, everyone's bb is small. i wonder what will the bb become when he becomes 6 mth?

<font color="ff0000">pepper</font> - finally crawl out of ur nest liaoz
 
vernice
even if a baby is born big, that doesn't mean he/she will remain big throughout his/her growth... my friend's bb was born at 5kg, now she's around 4 or 5 yrs old, she's quite normal compared to her peers. when she was 2 yrs old, she fell ill, and lose quite a fair bit of weight.
 
saw the news this morning... gosh.. he is heavier than most bb here... i wonder how big size is the mommy when she is preggy

do u all experience this?
 
Children "do grow at night"

Just now I was telling my colleague my baby nowaday cried while sleeping in the night and I suspect is due to teething. He said could be joint pain due to growth spurts. He told me baby suffer from growing pains at night. He ask me to take note of the length of baby arms. Now still small baby, both hands arms up still can't reach each other; but as baby grow up their arms will grow longer and by >1 yr old should be able to hold hand over the head. Hmm... growth happen while at rest, no wonder ppl said baby have to sleep then can grow up.

hi all,
i've got a question to ask - how much milk are you all givin to your bb? if feed them brown rice cereal - 3 big tablespoonful in 1 feed, how much EBM/FM do you give at the same time, considering you will use like 20-30ml to mix with the brown rice cereal... i'm giving ard 140 EBM/FM + 3 tsp of BRC. is it too much?? each feed last ard 3-3.5hr...
 
Lenny
u r a strong ger. thou u r indo chinese. and most of them quite well to do.. i had bad / no childhood.. i discussed with mum briefly that if really divorce i worry i cant get the custody. it is not that i dont love my hubby. it is hubby cant pull understd my plight that we cant live tog as pil n dil and thus putting a stain on our own family..i ever thou of leaving here with the bb..

thanks cherrios.

yuki29 and strawberry79, thanks for sharing.. i wonder how many il can get along with us...
 
today my ger 6mths birthday.. she woke up at 130am to "celebrate" with us...
party started fr 130am to almost 4am...super pissed..
first time...
she kept playing with her fingers..sigh.. and talking..
 
my sis told me she gave her 1 yr old only 2 or 3 meals now only and i am giving her 3 meals now. she said my bb "overwt" already and still feel so much. she is abt 8.5kg and 66cm...nowadays i really cant carry her for long.. too heavy..

her schedule for now is abt
9am 2scopes (1 similac scope is abt 2 tspn) of cereal with abt bm of 60ml
12pm same
3pm same
7pm fm120ml to fm150ml with latching on...
in btw she will latch on if i c that she wanna zzz. bfing bb is like drug addict. no nipples cant zzz. sigh.. she really cry till face red and cant zzz and cry till she can latch on...
 
oh ya... i wonder the above sch is too much for her.. i gave her abt 1/8 of an apple a couple of x and potato once.. my sis comment that it is too early. she said it is no harm to start later than too early in case allergy. and i lazy. din adhere the 3-5 days rule. anw i start on these two only on ad hoc basis... hehe
 


ranting abt my pil. not in sequence. just ratting off what i want to say...

when courting time, i already feel that my fil does nt like me. they r those stubborn kind of folks even if u tell them their faults they said they are like that. in short, take it or leave it. they are one kind.

my hubby said i one kind too.. he putting two kinds of pple tog will just have wars...

when i was sick, down with flu, fever, and sore throat weeks back, mil cooked chicken meats and chicken soup... and still continue with her usual must have chilli dish everyday... mil commented to hubby saying that i passed the bb to maid while i zzz in the mrng. hello, i was sick and u din ask me to rest yet said me passing the bb to the maid. so what r u trying to say?! basically i m taking care of the bb 24 hours a day and hubby seldom help cos he works everyday... they can tell me my hubby works everyday v tired. but they nvr understd they i on "24 hours shift" and i m more tired... in short, i m not their flesh n blood. they only take care of their own species...
i dont wanna wash dirty laundry in public.. but sometimes i have no avenue to vent my sorrow.. i cant call my sis or mum cos inconvenient to talk abt "their" house...
