minnie

Hi mummies,
I am going to bring my boy for his pneumococcal 1st jab. I am confused hearing you girl talking about 3 jab b4 1 year and if take after 1 year need only 1 jab. Is the result going to be the same. Does our child been protected for life?
 
sunshinebb
i haven't brought my gal for the pneumococcal jab. Asked PD before, he said if we didn't put her in infantcare we can give her the jab when she's 1yr. Cos viruses spread more easily amongst babies in infantcare. I didn't know there are 3 jabs leh..
 
alfafa
Have a safe and good trip!

sunshinebb:: me also letting tris take only after 1yr old, cause 2 jabs ma. haha
happy.gif


alfafa:: HAVE A SAFE AND WORRYLESS TRIP! may gracie be a coorperative darling like she always has.
 
strawberry79
so cute your boy crawl army style heehee. Maybe he's teething thats why woke up middle of nite. My gal woke up middle of nite too.. few times i woke up and found her flipped on her tummy looking around wanting to chit chat haha. But sometimes she will cry too. Then i'll give her milk and she'll fall asleep while drinking. But till now I still don't see any teeth coming out le..
 
sunshinebb
Nan Pro1 can drink till 1yr? Oh i thought 6mths got to change to Pro2 liao. For me I changed from HA1 to HA2 when my gal is 6mths old.
 
Hi Yuki29,

My friend say use a clean handkerchief and gently rub my baby's gum to help the teeth come out. I dunno whether it works..but im going to try tonight. My baby refused milk totally. poor dear...kept crying the whole night and i almost lost my cool too.
 
Re: Music Class

Bad News! Gymboree finally replied me. They are not able to accommodate our request to shift the music class to nov as they have already blocked book the 10th and 11th oct class for us. So not able to shift the class. Sorry mummies tried my best to ask them to shift but they refused leh
sad.gif
 
yuki
tat's wat my PD advised... i oso puzzled when he told my hb today... tot aft 6 mths need to chg to next level as their iron intake will be more...
mayb my boi poo once a wk, tat's y he advised me stick to NAN Pro1 first till he's 1 yr old... coz NAN Pro1 similar to BM (easier to digest) while NAN Pro2 more towards cow milk...
my PD said NAN Pro1 is more expensive than NAN Pro2, is it true?
 
sharlene
tink the result is the same... juz tat diff dose when jab b4 or aft 1 yr old...

alfafa
hv fun!!! see u ard christmas!!! HO HO HO!!!
 
strawberry79
ok i'll try that too. Don't worry too much, he will start drinking when he's really hungry. Maybe he feels uncomfortable and sleepy at the same time so no appetite to drink. He'll catch up with the milk intake soon. My gal doesn't want to drink milk when she's 3-4mths old. PD advised not to force and don't be upset cos will affect bb's mood too, just let it be till bb willing to drink when really hungry.

Hi mummies,

RE: Teething
Is there any good teething cream or any advice how to sooth bb? Violette started to wake up cry big time and I rubbed her gum and felt swollen a bit...
 
sportyger
It's ok.. Thanks for asking them.. So Music class is as before?

strawberrys79
my mum ask me to clean my boy's gum everyday to "speed" up his teething.. But till now still no pearly whites to be seen...Dunno true or not..

Inya
I'm using Dentinox for the gums (recommended by my GP). Can be bought off the rack from pharmacies.. I put in fridge n apply it cold onto the gums. My boy loves it, he will open his mouth the moment he sees me taking the tube of Dentinox.
 
vernice
tink i'll stick to NAN Pro1 for the time being...
i juz bought NAN Pro2 (400g) last wk and intend to sell it... u wan??
 
sun,

Have you tried prune on ur bb yet? Maybe u try that, prune is rich in iron and helps with constipation. Gerber got prune puree.
 
aiyah... silly me... mil told me to bring the fish bone out of the freezer to defrost but I forgot... Today no fish bone papaya soup for me liao... *sob..sob*
sad.gif


~30mins to go before I call it for the day... counting down...
 
mummies, I just went to Tangs to get the Medela parts for the Freestyle, please pray for me that I know how to use it so I don't get engorged in Tokyo. 15% off for PPS members, add'l 5% off sales items at Tangs.

Just heated up one bottle of Brands Essence to wake me up! So groggy, can't wait to get over this jetlag.

Vernice, you're welcome
happy.gif
Hope she enjoys it. My sis took the same one too. Mum got the short handle beige. Me, I will just borrow from them when they get tired of them haha

Asura, yeah, so many differing opinions, just do what feels comfortable for you and your family. After all you have only yourself to answer to at the end of the day

strawberrys, I wanted to go to Hort Park but will be away this weekend

queenie, yes yes come send us off at airport tonight :p

oh yes, I found out how much we have to give for 'and bao' at Japanese wedding, min $500!! faints, will cost us more than the whole trip

lingz, it really depends. The girl sitting behind us was a real angel. Just chatting quietly and laughing or sleeping soundly the whole trip. The monsters next to us were an entirely different story. My friend said she tried a bit of cough syrup once and it worked wonders heh

sinmey, wow... sounds like you are quite adventurous. Boracay was actually beautiful when I was there. Sunny and calm. Typhoons left after we arrived. How are Egypt and Sikkim like? Never been there so very curious.

Speaking of Cambodia, A's godpa went there for a voluntour. Saw this initiative to help cambodian women find work. They sew baby quilts for sale worldwide. Proceeds go towards their families, most of which are very poor and uneducated. He is thinking of importing them. Do you girls think there is a market for them? He bought one for A. I'll take a pic next week to show you girls if interested
 
asura
ohh... i bought some earth best stage 2 prune puree, can i give tat to my boi now since he's already 6 mths?

lizy
u KO at 5pm huh... me still got another hr... *countingdown*
 
sun, have you let your boy try papaya yet?
If not let him try? It works for my girl leh. We use Hawaiian papaya, smaller in size, and can be found in the market.
 
Hi Minnie / Yuki29,

Thanks. Im going to try to do that for him every night.

Hi Inya,
Im going to follow your example to put the Dentinox into the fridge. hehehe..i can imagine how good it will feel to have something cold on the gums.

Hi all,

Anybody wants Nestle brown rice and Nestle Oats and Prune? I've around 5 sachets for the brown rice one and maybe more sachets for the oats one.Anybody keen? can pm me. i dun want it to go to waste cos' my baby still have 1 tin of Nestle Brown Rice.
 
Hi lizy,

I've tried papaya for my baby H Y . He loves it. Does your girl likes it?
Im knocking off at 6pm. Trying not to think about the time la.
 
a quick one ... frantically trying to pack my own things plus clean up the house and dogs while gracie is power napping ,,,

so sorry I couldn't thank all of you one by one for your well wishes. So touched. Muak muak muak

came in primarily to say

.... ladies, pls send starflower some love and support. Poor fella was crying at my house earlier. She had a traumatising week with keenan having a prolonged, unexplained fever ... no dianogsis (sp?) but they did find an extremely rare and potent bug in his urine sample. This bug apparently is found mainly in patients in the ICU wards. Keenan is also suffering from mouth ulcers and sore throat as a result of the fever. The thing is, this whole incident coincided with Star's hubby's extremely busy time. to make it worse

rats she woke up liao. 10mins nap. wah lao.

to make it worse star's co-worker was on compassionate leave and star had to take over all the duties PLUS run up and down the doctor, dash for lab tests ... waiting waiting for results ... all the uncertainty etc etc is wearing her down. Poor girl was so upset that she broke down and teared when she came over to pick up toys earlier.

Starflower,
wanted to dash over with you to your car to say a quick prayer together before you leave but alas the doggy incident ... *rolls eyes*. Will be praying hard for you and family. So many things are happening at the same time. *sayang*

Wanted to hug you just now but donn't know how you would take it. *virtual hugs*

We are all with ya!!! Wish I have your hubby's no, so that I can let him know too.

gracie crying liao. thwere goes my chance to pack my own stuff.

aiiiiiiiii

byeeeeeeeeeeee

Pumpkin,
Sikkim is really a nice place to visit.. Egypt is ok, but i got bored after 2 wks seeing the tombss.
hey, the quilt for baby is a good business i think as long as the quality is good &amp; of course with the reasonable price. Baby's stuff is a BIG business so long the quality is good. I think all mummies don't mind to spend for the precious little one.
 
Reverie
I haven't seen her since my wedding day. Knew her and her hubby through another friend. I knew her before she started this online bakery biz. She is a talented chic.

Sinmey
Wow, you're well travelled and brave. I've never done backpacking - can't bare to leave my creature comforts. Now I only frontpack, my bb, that I do everywhere... hehee.

Starflower
What alfafa mentioned sounds really worrisome. Hope doctors can find a solution for poor Keenan.

My thoughts &amp; best wishes are with your boy and Kome's boy who's also having bouts of fever.
 
<font color="ff0000">p.seed</font> - arh...paiseh confuse.

wow...min 1k. thats very exp leh. nvm lah ur DH pay mah. u close both eyes.

Ya jap wedding very particular one. Last time when i was in Korea, all the ladies wear their traditional costumes. very formal.

eh ur quilt biz...think i read it somewhere in the mag before. Someone is doing it in SG too.
 
babe,
haha... frontpack Shayna..
actually, i never join any travel package before.. cannot tahan to have schedule even on my holiday leh.

dear mummies, thanks so much for your support. it's been rough not knowing what's the cause and keep seeing him having fluctuating, 37-38.4. His appetite is still good, can poo but not very interested latching, so have been pumping/bottling. He's dropped from 7.9kg to 7.7kg since monday night when the fever started. We are now waiting for 2nd urine sample. Teething fever is ruled out as it normally is 2 days only. I dread monday's call from PD but at the same time, i must be prepared it's not a contaminated sample. The procedure is an injection of a very strong antibiotic which side effects include hurting the kidney and possibly stomach bleeding. i dont really know what to think anymore..... *mind blanking out*
 
sunshinebb
could be cos Nan HA1 is more expensive than HA2. Since its PD's advise then should be ok. Ya i heard before tat Nan's taste closer to BM.
 
Hi Mummies,
I am at the KK hospital with Anver now, coz he still having fever this afternoon at 38degrees+. The doctor said normally after fever for 1 week should be admitted to hospital already. Now they are taking a series of test to check what is the causes. Blood test cleared already, now waiting for nose test and trying to collect his urine to test also. Strangely that his temperature now is 37.4 degrees which to the doctor and nurses are normal,but at home 37.7+degrees to 38+ degrees.

Till now still unsure of what causes the fluctuation of his fever.

Haiz.....hope he can discharge soon.

Straflower
Oh dear....your bb's syptoms looks like Anver case. Hope he will recover soon also. Will pray for both Anver and Keenan also.
 

Kome - what do u use to measure temp? ear or forehead? sometimes have slight difference... hope all is well... its good... fever has gone on long enough... shld find out the real cause soon... take care!!! *hugs to anver and you from Kirs*
