missycandy,
ur ger is greedy cow wor.. so fast got teeth... heehee..
i think if bbs can do it let them perform naturally, dun force them to do.
so dun compare with peers. keke

my #1, 2yrs old then start toking, by 1yr bday, she can walk liao, eat rice liao.. haha
 


alfafa, dun say that. me so paiseh. I dun see urs got problem too.
happy.gif
 
hoho,
ya hor. we only bathe her once a day because we are concerned about stripping her skin of its natural protective layer. always at night cos that's when hubby is back. yah maybe i should bathe her in the morn as well w just water, no soap.

hair? she is balding liao so hardly any hir. or do you mean the fallen hair stuck between the folds of her neck? true leh, she does get one or two strands there v often. the hair is so fine that it sticks to her skin hard to remove so i left them alone sometimes. hmmm .. think i will be more vigilant from now. regualrly put her on tummy then spray avene water and wipe clean w facial cotton. helps to remove her fallen hair too
 
<font color="ff0000">sportyger</font> - u just start work huh so cannot take leave?

<font color="ff0000">queenie</font> - ya lor the weather is killing ppl leh! heehee u always count calories when eating icecream? My last swenson treat is on mother's day :p

<font color="ff0000">alfafa</font> - ya lor..donno why hor. Aiyo hope lil grace will be ok. *sayangz*
 
alfafa,

yalor .. the promotion only apply to Mon-Wed.
Maybe i should arrange to go with my bro .. he's now on holiday .. &amp; phyco my sis to take leave .. haha.. but how to eat with my bb along .. wait my hb sure think i very 'tam jiak'.. wat to do, my hb dun eat dimsum
 
vernice, yalor so will have to give the dim sum buffet a miss. sob sob, tabao some back for me haha

misscandy, kristen is really fast to be teething. "hugs" hope she will feel better and drink her milk.
 
alfafa,
my #1 had mild ezcema.
last time i did google, n always remember, dun use any soapy bath wash, meaning like those adults 1 ah, got lots of bubbles rght, no gd for kids.

so i only use california bb wash.
u can oso try avene bb range, or mustala, although ex, but gd.
 
prosper,
i have lotsa pigments, plus previous eczema scars and some open pores lor. I dare not go out without foundation one. Buay sui. :p

speaking of toys,
another one of her fav toys is the FP Kick and Whirl Carnival. Can be used lying down at the infant stage (where they kick and kick) and sitting up (play with the balls) when they reach 5-6 mths old. She loves to kick at the attached bits to get the balls spinning. Buys me precious 20 or so mins.
 
missycandy,
not sure u into chinese medical herbs.
last time when #1 teething, i rub the 'ba bao san' powder bot from yu ren sheng on her gums everyday, like brushing teeth la.

or if u want try those angmoh kind, there is some teething gel, that apply on the gums, think will make the gums numb (sorry not sure correct or not), so not so painful. this gel i din use, cos dun like the idea of numbing the gums.

then if bb dun wan drink, dun force her, no choice, as long as she is happy can liao.
ooo watch out for fever hor.

take care!
 
sinmey,
do you have an infant carrier as in the car seat type? I usually bring that along if we are going from car straight to restaurant. Or if you have a stroller, that will be good too. I finally took mine out to try. Yesterday put baby in the stroller and pushed her aorund the house. heheh glad to say that she is taking well to it.

If I am alone, I just leave her strapped on in my pikkolo and with both hands free I will eat over her head. A bit ma-fan but at least possible to eat.

hoho,
think for the morning bath I will not use any soap. At night I will only use the PH neutral type. I have one tub of cetaphil as well on standby. Heard that is good?
 
misscandy, that's fast.
About walking at 10mths old, my #2 did that. She can walk without support at 10mths. I tell you, her motor skill is very good also.
She is 3 years old now and can assembled a box of 96pcs jigsaw puzzle.
No worries about too fast not good.

pinkdemoness, my msn is [email protected]
 
<font color="ff0000">sportyger</font> - heehee i also haven confirm yet. suppose to have massage session. If i go, i will take the pics for u :p

<font color="ff0000">Jo</font> - oh u mean from the overseas spree ah? oops i tot from the normal BP beauty spree.

alfafa77
bb is better.

but like what Quennie say when it's ok dun apply liao. Sad for me as the PD and the nurses didn't tell me the cream they gave has steriod inside. Then my stubborn hubby keep on applying on bb neck even when it's already recover. Told hubby to stop apply liao and he say need to prevent meh so must apply...so stubborn and after that heard from someone else the cream has steriod so can't apply too much...agghhhh

what will happen if too much steriod in bb?
 
hoho,

I tried mustela face cream on my gal and her skin become very rough. Use cetaphil and it is ok... so now i swear my cetaphil. U got cetaphil soap? Me thinking wanna change my gal's bath to cetaphil soap.. heh.. Using J&amp;J now.
 
st,
if apply too much n too long, the skin layer will be thinner.
then steriod have % so if use too long, then future, same pbm come back, doc will increase the % of the steriod.

u can do this, apply a thin layer of the steriod cream, follow by calendula or normal cream, to neutralize. this is what i did la.
 
alfafa,

Me also a great fan of dim sum... all the talk abt dim sum make me drool here and there's no dim sum here or in any drivable distance!
My fav place for dim sum is Hua Ting at Orchard Hotel. The har gow there is super duper delicious big and juicy. All their steam dim sum are veyr nice, the baked ones also not bad (mango chicken tart, yum yum). Their deep fried items need to be improved on though. Best part is they change some of their dim sum menu every 3 mths so there's always new stuff to try.. kekeke..give it a try ya.. i tried all the places u went liao, still like hua ting most. Only place i havent tried is the chinese restaurant in Marriott. Let me know if it is good!
 
<font color="ff0000">sportyger</font> - i still doing post natal massage loh...for those normal massage - i got 2 places. one is at amore n the other one at subtle senses
 
pumpkin, i'm like u, didn't go out much too. not bcos of bfing as i already stopped b4 i came to France. but bcos no one to look after Oli if i go out and i dun want to bring him to crowded places.
but anyway, the Sophies u got for the mummies already very good price compared to buying from the local distributor.
if i rec'd the email u got from that distributor, i'll be so pi**ed off cos i always help friends to buy things when i travel. not making money out of it, just plain helping!
 
Alfalfa,

Re: bb's neck.

Brianne is having the same thing. i always thought its eczema.. cos it started from her cheeks to her neck, then her chest and her elbows plus her body..

only her neck area is the same as what you described..

i wash her neck with wet sponge during bath and dry it thoroughly. after that i apply Baby Gaia soothing lotion to the area and air it.. meaning.. i will swaddle her so she would not scratch herslef then carry her on one hand of for a sleep session throuhgout. i.e. after bathe, dry her and swaddle her, feed.. then pat her to sleep. when she is in deep sleep.. i let her head head hang down a bit then apply cream.. then i carry her in that state for 2 hrs plus in aircon room to air her.

when it does not subside.. i apply the steroid cream that PD gave me.. then air it dry... then apply the baby gaia again.. all these after bathing, drying, swaddling and patting her to sleep..

when the redness subside... i only apply the baby gaia soothing cream.. but it does come back on and off..


ST &amp; Queenie:
about the steroid cream.

i was told by PD if we apply too much.. it will leave a scar .. like.. patches on bb's skin.. so ST, u need to tell hubby this
 
<font color="ff0000">asura</font> - heehee we can go again when u r back in town! esp since we stay same blk. Realise u n me same occupation
happy.gif


<font color="ff0000">queenie/Kris</font> - do u need me to collect your stuff from irene? I will be going over to her place on fri.
 
regdg the Beaba Babycook, is it a book? i'll try to see if can find, but doubt so and may not have the chance to pop into the librarie again as we just went there last week.
 
asura,
oops.. really ah, i use mustela on my face oso, ok lor.. keke
c no 2 skin is the same, need to trial n error..
always make our pockets lighter! keke

i hate jnj, very smelly lei.

then think in 2005 or 2006, there is this report, jnj contain something, tts harmful to the skin, so i stop using jnj pdts.

i din use cetaphil soap. but i know my gp always recommend this brand. cheap n gd he say. haha
 
oh.. aiyah, i confuse.. no..it's a BP. I think I got cheated. e person never reply my mail at all! It's been near a month and I nv got my things too.. Haiz
 
Misscandy,

about the white lumps at the gums..

You need to check and ensure that its not epithelial pearls or gum cysts. according to the booklet given by my PD. These are small white cysts found on the hard palate and along the gums. they are due to blockage of normal mucous glands and will disappear in 2- 3 mths.

Brianne had quite a few of these when she is born and now can see them disappearing. some PD will perscribe Daktarin oral gel for babies that we can buy off the shelf from Guardian Pharmacy. Brianne was given an orange flavour one but i didnlt apply.. i let it subside first.. if its doesn;t go away then i apply
 
agnes,

i had c-sect but not done any postnatal massages.. i was advised not to cos if the massage is not done well, it will worsen our wounds internally.

in addition, i am breastfeeding.. Mrs wong did mention.. again.. if massage not done well. our milk supply will be affected and might stop
 
Lenny
by right with steriod the rashes very fast heal one meh...somemore i went to other PD the new PD told me the old PD gave me this cream has stronger steriod *FAINT*..
but hubby apply it for like 5-6 days and he never apply thin layer he apply alot..cos no one told us have to apply thin layer...I called up the nurse and they apologise to say it's their fault not telling us to apply thin layer *FAINT*..
now my son neck like u mention of patches liao..which mean now his skin got 2 colour tone...the steriod area is whiter *FAINT*
 
Hoho &amp; Irene,

Brianne needs to b e swaddled if i want her to sleep .. else.. same thing.. hands and legs flying all over and she gets really excited.. she won't sleep with all these excitement
 
Lenny
so good ur PD at least told u this...no one told us....cry cry..

and i still apply at his back..cos didn't know got steriod bad mummy
sad.gif
 
<font color="ff0000">Jo</font> - oh did u go back into the thread n check with other mummies? Or u can go check with moderator if really kena cheated.
I find that those beauty product on BP is much exp than what i can find in Gmarket. I wanted to buy this high waist slimming pants n BP selling at $23.50 whereas Gmarket only $17.90 lor...but BP still cheaper than outside retail when i bought at $30+
sad.gif
 
wah, then i no need to massage liao..no point. Already 3mths..aiyoh, then what's going to happen to my tummy?? How to go swimming!

Vernice - CRAB!! Luv crab but can only watch my family eat crab when i was pregnant. My MIL said if there is something i wanted to eat during pregnancy but didn't, the bb will drool alot. Now my boy drool lots...haha...

Saw the link on Wan Hao in Marriott. Yum Yum!!
 
Alfafa,

I'd be interested in what the GP/Dermo says re: neck rash. As far as I can tell, yellow bits + cottage cheese smell = fungal infection (does not necessarily need to be thrush). However fungal infection can also develop on top of an already underlying skin condition eg eczema as well. What is important is to try and keep the affected area CLEAN and DRY as much as possible. I dunno about S'pore, but over here there is something called Sudocream that is basically a barrier cream. Excellent for skin folds that don't see the light of day/air and breeding grounds for fungal infections - think of the concept of a nappy rash - it is very much the same thing.

http://www.sudocrem.co.uk/

Beware of creams containing a strong dose of steroids cos that will be like adding gas to the fire in a fungal skin infection.
 
st,

if the skin change is due to medication, it should go back to the way it was when it is stopped, albeit it may take a long period of time depending on how bad the skin change is. should tell ur hubby that there are medications to treat conditions, and there are medications that treat AND prevent conditions. WIthout confirming whether something is the latter, don't anyhow use for longer than it should.
 
vernice80,

Oh..
happy.gif
Yah.. let's go when i get back..
happy.gif
The thing that's missing here is seafood.. everything is frozen.. heh.. so eveyday i cook beef, chicken or pork.. super boring. heh..
 
<font color="ff0000">agnes</font> - I still having massage n tummy binding sessions. Better than bo right?

I start eating crab even when i was preg in the last trim loh! yumyum..bo chap lah
 
Agnes Chew,

Not true leh... me ate anything i feel like eating when i was pregnant. End up my bb is still drooling a lot.. sian.. nowadays i got to change clothes at nite cos my clothes always kena her saliva while carrying her.
 
alfafa,
i have a stroller. Brought her out alone last 2 wks.. to ICA to complete her PR application in her Msia passport. Actually she doesn't really seem like to be in stroller for too long. She will frown &amp; act like very poor thing so that i cannot tahan &amp; carry her.
But luckily she can still fall asleep in her stroller during the MRT ride.
 
areya,
