(2009/03) March 2009 MTBs

miss83,
I feel the same way too. Its really a challenge to bring baby M to church now. And somemore my church service last 2 hrs and more.
 


Marie,

Not only HK haversack lor, maybe HK water bottles etc also!! So what characters will you introduce Xander to?

My HB says he will intro Mikaela to Teletubbies!! Over my dead body!! All of them are so fat, one is sooo gay, one is sooo vain, other two are I also don't know what - but all are bl**dy annoying!!

I was thinking ah, if I go paste nice nice stickers on those encyclopedias, will my girl fall in love with it and read it ALL the time ah?? Wa ha ha...hur hur hur...

Rose,

What other more manly cartoon characters do you like? Besides Thomas the Train, how about Bob The Biulder or Transformers?
 
sun - not sure leh i onli ask for the shave price...

morning mummies..
after we brought kyan for a hair shave, mil went to rub some oil on his cradle cap cos we still wanted to get rid of it...now he got patches of red here and there...

i tink its painful rite, cos he was crying when we wash his head with shampoo this morning...

any mummies face this?

poor kyan...don't know when the patches of red will go off?

then this morning, my mil accidentially cut into kyan's flesh when cutting his nails...so its double pain! sobz sobz...mummy so heartpain now...
 
Halo mummies..had a funny dream last nite n makes me so tired..I dream that I express 3 bottles of BM and put in common office pantry n one of my colleague poured away n left only half bottle left! I was so mad that I cried and scold her why she poured away my heaprtpain BM?!! Haa...then before she can reply my alarm clock rang..LOL, thk God is only a dream
Caroline slept thru till 6am for her feed
happy.gif
 
Pinksorbet, ya manz...also dunno why had this weird dream...maybe u appyl some aloe vera cooling gel or cornstarch powder on ur boy's head?

Pei: Tellytubbies, eeksthey are weird and eriee to me!

Sportygal & Miss83: Ya nowadys I also try to avoid bring Caroline to church, I will put her at my mum place before we go for service.
 
sportyger - mayb cos we use massage oil on his cradle cap and he came allergic to it?

don't know if i should bring him to see the pd and get some cream to apply?

mayb we shouldn't have use massage oil? sobz sobz...mummy's fault...its mummy who told mil to use massage oil de....
 
pinksorbet ...

I put oilve oil for SH head after bath when he just shave his head ... the oil is suppose to help soften the cradle cap one (if he has any)

pei ...

i totally HATE tellytubbies ... dunno why hahahaha

sportyger ...

ur hubby looks v familar ... is he from NTU??
 
Pinksorbet, to me cornstach powder is nautral ingredient so shld be safe n cooling effect, GAIA powder is cornstach..maybe u can buy n try?
However I am nt sure if ur boy's skin isit sensitive...maybe u try a little bit n do a patch test on one small part of his skin. AloeVera gel I dun hv but it also hv cooling effect, but every new skincare cream that is gng to apply on them, gt to do a patch test to play safe
happy.gif
 
pei - i don't like tellytubbies...they have this eerie look on them leh...

seabreeze - usually we apply olive oil de but that day we tried massage oil...i guess its our fault ba...should have stick to oilve oil...sigh...mummy's fault...now i don't dare apply anything on the areas liao...tink v painful lor....we wash his head with shampoo and he cried out loud....

mangogal - thanks for yr advice, will try it out...hope the redness will subside in a day or so...
 
pinksorbet ...

dun use shampoo ... just water will do cos shampoo might have some chemcial or what which may be painful

puree oso got cornstarch powder ... u can get it from kiddy palace, giant, ntuc and those supermarket
 
mangogal
u too stress la... relax yrself by giving a day off to rest?

ic... dun tink i'm gg to shave botak for my boi, my hb loves his hair, can't bear to see him hairless...
2708590.gif
 
miss83 ...

cradle cap v smelly one and flakey ... its like a thick layer of yellow patch on their head ... v obvious

SH oso got red patches and i think its birthmark cos it doesnt go off and not painful
 
mangogal
for me..I have no choice..we have no maid and our relatives live in overseas..so got to bring bb to church..was thinking to skip service for a while..but i think we put God first is more important..dealing with cranky baby later will be our sacrifice..but got to admit, it's not easy..
even now I also don't dare to bring bb out past his bed time..anyone tried before? some friends from other thread told me that they like to bring bb out past their bedtime coz bb sleeps better outside, and when they go home just put the bb down on their cot..
 
miss83 - the red patches are not cradle cap...kyan has those red patches as a result of us rubbing on his cradle cap after his shave....

seabreeze - the name of the powder is called puree? ok i go take a look...otherwise i thought mayb jus apply normal baby powder should be ok, cos we still have two large bottles left...dunno whether it will help...

sun - u wanna call up hwa xia and ask them? i can help u to find out the number...mayb shave and cut same price...
 
pinksorbet ...

yap ... the brand is pureen and they have a few type ... the cornstarch one is a smaller bottle, light blue words and abit more expensive. I have been using tat for my #1 till now though i have not intro powder to #2 yet
 
pinksorbet
caleb has 1 red patch on his head..maybe that is really a birthmark then..
what does cradle cap look like? there was once when caleb was 1 month old he got alot of dandruff look alike..and my mom juts rub it usil baby oil..
will cradle cap cause alot of hair loss? coz he got lots of hair loss a few weeks ago.now he looks almost bald!
 
miss83 ...

baby will start dropping hair when they are abt 4mth old ... tats why pple usually shave the bb either at 1st mth or 4th mth heehee

mummy will oso drop hair too ... damn sian my hair dropping like SIAO!
 
seabreeze- thanks
happy.gif
i'll be dropping by kiddy palace to buy kyan's bottle and teat so will take a look at the cornstarch powder as well...that one normal days oso can use on the body one issit? sorrie if i sounded abit silly there...lol

miss83 - cradle cap v flaky one lor...ya and its bit like dandruff sticking on the scalp...as for whetehr cradle cap will cause alot of hair loss i'm not sure...kyan has it since birth...quite alot...but now subsided le...initially he was balding in front and dropping quite alot of hair but i'm not sure if its due to the cradle cap as per se....

this is how cradle cap looks like...

2708707.jpg


seabreeze- same here! i drop alot of hair la~! i'm so worried i will turn bald!!
 
seabreeze
my hair oso drop like siao... so scare will go botak...
2708714.gif


if i didn't shave bb's hair, his hair will still continue to drop?

sorbet
can i hv punggol branch no? TIA!!!
 
sun - kyan has alot of hair since birth but been dropping since like more than a month ago until his front part is bald already, so i might as well shave it off...then i also keep dropping hair too...v jialat...i'm worried more for myself as i don't want to go bald! lol...

oh hwa xia's appointment number is 6489 4847. I check on their website but they don't state the numbers of the specific branches...only the appointment line...i guess u can still call and check on their haircut price?
 
miss83,
I started letting my boy sleep on tummy around 1.5 mths when PD gave the green light as his neck quite strong. He can sleep longer on tummy. What i do is let him sleep on back too...once sound asleep, will flip him over...but the trick is to ensure he is sound asleep first, else will cry when flip over

pinksorbet,
My boy also got cradle cap. Use baby oil and comb with baby comb gently b4 shower. Can come off easily.

sun,
my boy takes at least 30mins to latch, and very frequently 45mins to sometimes 1 hr. Sometimes my hand numb from carrying this 7kg baby for 1 hr man

st,
your boy likes the playmat?

My boy been trying to flip...but still can't. Lately he keeps moving forward in the bed and his head will reach till wooden frame of bed. Even worse, a few times he gets stuck, his body is at the short side of the bed instead...haha then he will cry very loudly for help. Any mummies baby also like this?
 
Think all of us now are dropping hair like mad, me too
sad.gif
I really pei fu mummies wif long hair, my hair so short now and I cant tahan liao!!

Sunshine, hehe...funny dream, how u adjusting well at work?

Miss83, seek God for wisdom regarding bringing ur baby to church, or maybe go service on alternate weeks? U try n see how, hopefully things will improve
happy.gif


Pinksorbet, or as wat Seabreeze said dun wash ur boy' s head wf shampoo n since nw he is botak, just use a small wet handkerchief n slowly/gently pat his head/scalp
happy.gif


My gal hair also drop alot plus she likes to pull her hair! LOL
 
sun - i went to click on their babies and kids' haircut...its $16 too for haircut....

http://www.hwaxia.com.sg/productshow.asp?id=9

teddybear - yup we did that, i tink the cradle cap keeps coming back...but thankfully now they are beginning to subside as from what i see...

mangogal - caroline likes to pull her own hair kyan likes to pull mine! LOL...

anybody brought ur babies to swim at hwa xia? i'm thinking whether wan to buy a tub at home for home use anot...hehe....we brought him for a trial lesson and he actually fell aslepp in the pool...i guess soaking in the tub of warm water was too comfortable liao...
 
hehe Pinksorbet, think u better cut ur hair short or tie up so that Kyan wont pull ur hair..
aiyo Caroline loves to pull my specs at hm!
 
pinksorbet..
thanks for the pic..hmm..caleb doens't have that..

oh yeaa...I got crazy hair loss too..really scary man..

mangogal
last week we woke caleb earlier so he took his 1st nap earlier at home then we took cab to church..it worked! but yesterday didn't work..night still cranky..i think this time not because lack of sleep, but over stimulated by the people there..
my church service also lasts 2 hours..and after church cannot just go home..will chit chat here and there..hubby got ministry meeting and so on..
 
re: bb pull hair
hair loss not just due to our hormones..but yes! bb pulls hair too!! he can grab really tight and pull..haizz.. hubby likes my long hair..so dont want to cut..
 
<font color="ff0000">sassy</font> - great to know ryken is ok! he knows how to play with water with sis?

<font color="ff0000">pinksorbet</font> - u can try buying 2nd hand tub..saw in WTS cheaper n same thing as new
 
hi, mummies
me back to work today after 4 mths..abit disorientated..haha

my 4mth old bb is also starting to show problem finishing his milk. he used to be able to finish 130ml, but now often stop sucking half way thru, using his tongue to push the teat out.
he used to be able to sleep thru from 10pm to 5am, but since last week, he has been waking up frequently.
is this a phase? i really hope so. or are these signs that i shld give him solids soon?
 
re: hair loss
my hair loss is starting to scare me too.. do we need to do something abt it? will drop until botak or not? when will it stop?
sad.gif
 
mangogal - i gotta cut my hair again, a bob of mess it is...hahaha...i tink kyan sooner or later will also pull my specs....lol...

vernice - oh thanks! i'm thinking need to anot...my fren has been tempting me to buy also...she has one at home and her bb loves it!

elina - my boy's appetite has dropped tremendously...last time can drink 600ml+ to 700ml+ daily and now can even drop to 400ml+?! scary leh! PD says he has teething symptoms and his appetite will be affected...but its so scary that he can only drink this much now?! haiz...moreover my boy hates milk so its worst! gotta like force the milk down like that...if not i tink he can go without milk the whole day!
 
pinksorbet,
i also thot is due to teething, but PD checked his gums, said cannot see any teeth yet leh. yeah, it's scary that bb doesn't hungry at all when he used to cry for milk before 3 hrs is up.
somemore, he's now pooing 4-5 times a day when it used to be just once a day. PD say it's normal as long as not watery poo.
 
elina - the teeth won't appear till he is 6months old...meanwhile its jus the teething symptoms only...so i guess yr bb may be due to that...
 
sorbet
2709229.gif
for the info!!!
i oso dun wan to go bald!!! NO..NO..NO!!!
2709230.gif


teddybb
tat's long!!! yr boi really sucks for milk or juz sucks for comfort at the later part?

mangogal
so far so gd... fast manz, 2day 2nd wk lor...

elina
my boi oso same prob as yrs... tend to wake up freq, wondering is he hungry but i'll give him pacifier n drag till 5.30am then let him latch on... but he'll throw out the pacifier aft a while...
 
mummies
since we have the same common situation..i think it's just a phase, maybe teething or really just a phase..but my PD already warned me last month that starting 4 months bb will not be so hungry and don't be surprised if he doesnt finish his milk..
at least we know we're not alone..therefore, can relax abit..not too worry so much okay..let's update each other..I also hope this will pass soon..i miss the sleeping thru the night again..got to admit I am very dissapointed after successfully managed to get bb sleep 7 hours now is back to 3 hourly again..
 
For hair loss:
All mummies can try System 4 Shampoo selling @ Beauty Language. Stimulates hair growth and helps to prevent premature hair loss. http://www.beautylanguage.com/sys4.htm

I brought the Bio Botanical shampoo &amp; hair tonic really good now my hair drop not that much. Ever since i haven brought system 4 my hair was drop like no ppl business, really scare me. I tot i gg to go bald.... And i waste money on other brand shampoo all no use.
 
miss83 - i guess the symptoms will continue till the bb has his/her teeth? They should only get more intense ba, like drooling more, biting more, etc...as for the milk intake, i tink it should just be a phase, no idea how long it will last either...i hope not for long!

sun - u're welcome!
 
speaking about hair loss, mine is quite terrible. everywhere at home is full of my hair..so much as that my colleague also noticed and asked if i am balding..so sad right..

my boy also like to pull my hair and i will tell him not to pull as mummy is becoming botak soon..

serene, where can we get the Bio Botanical shampoo and tonic from? desperately looking for a tried and tested one.
 
<font color="ff0000">pinksorbet</font> - i also have a swimming tub at home. my boy swim every evening..use to replace his evening wipe. So far so good.

re:teething

mummies, my boy started showing symptoms of teething (lots of drooling, swollen gums, poor appetite) at abt 3mths and now finally when he is 4mths plus, his tooth is finally visible and his appetite is slightly better. But not all babies get their teeth this fast.
