baby may: hailey takes 2 naps a day, almost same timing as dodo's boy. she slps frm 830-930pm to abt 8-830am. she'll wake abt twice a nite, 1st time usually not hungry, 2nd time she;ll nd a feed. =)
frost: the late 8-930 pm nap might bt the culprit causing ur babe to slp later at 11pm. if it bothers u, then u might want to let him/her slp thru from 8pm onwards.. =) u can read up on babycenter ont he number of hrs they shld be slping at nite.
porky: i still apply mustela/calendula cream for hailey at every diaper change.
dodo: hailey n YA's nap time is almost same same timing! hahhaa! she tried dropping her morn nap before, but she cannot tahan, slp at 1pm wake abt 3pm and at nite, abit fussy, wanna slp early and her slp at nite not gd, many nite wakings. so now back to 2 naps, n she wakes abt twice a nite. =)

Hi mummies, thanks for your reply on sleep and nap.
Feb mum, MY has stopped waking up at night for milk long ago (unless he is sick and his appetite at night is not good, then he will wake up in the middle of the night for milk), but we need to wake up to find his pacifier for him if he drops it.
Porky, I still apply diaper cream for MY, cause few months back when the blue desitin finished and left the purple desitin, my MIL stops applying diaper cream as the purple desitin is very strong. Then, he got diaper rash (cause he pooed and my MIL only noticed that he pooed after some time) and we have to bring him to the PD that evening cause very red. The PD says no side effect for applying diaper cream and ask us to continue to apply. So after the MY recovers, we bought the drapolene which is milder for my MIL to use during weekday daytime. I think you better continue to let your boy apply diaper cream, especially since he is in infant care, unless the caregiver can change his diaper as soon as he poos. Think I will apply until he is toilet trained.

HI mummies, appreciate your advice pls. My gal has been having really bad rash. I delayed for close to 2 weeks (thinking it will go away) and it became worst and she ended up with fungal infection.
With the medicine, shes slowly recovering now. I think because shes becoming so active plus she doesnt make noise when she pooed (her poo sometimes not too smelly so must really smell hard), thats causing her the rash.
Wonder if any mummies use powder instead nappy rash cream? If yes, what powder do you use? I use desitin and drapolene alternatively but she still ended up with rash. So thinking of changing to using powder insted.
Also can mummies let me know what diaper brand ur bbs using? Mine uses Huggies Comfort (red colour packaging) for day and Huggies Ultra for night. I use huggies because she has big thighs and huggies are high cut design. Anyone can recommend another brand with high cut design?

bbmay, tks for ur advise. in fact is my IFC caregivers wanted to continue apply drapolene for my boy so they ask me to buy. if at home, i will make sure i wash him immediately when he pooed so he wont get redness on his diaper area. yes i agreed that IFC might overlook sometimes so i will let them apply drapolene on him till toilet train. btw i find that drapolene is very good and creamy. unless very red then i will use desitin blue one. purple one is good when use during bb hv diarrhoe..

ilove, did the doct gv u pp wash ? my boy got this fungal infection last time..doc gv pp wash and a type of cream..aft wash n apply tt cream for 3 days he recover fully..i use kodomo powder on his bottom also
Ilovesashimi: I use mustela when its bedtime as it acts as a barrier cream (barrier btw pee n her skin). Normally I will use drapolene/ calendula, whichever I see n grab. But I see redness, I will use calendula. Powder I jus use j&j. I tink avent has a non-talc powder that u can check out.

Thanks porky and jamie. Do u apply powder on top of the barrier cream? Will go check out avent.
Porky: Pd prescribe medicated cream and anti fungal powder.

Hi ladies,
long time never post here, but i read daily still.
Have been quite a tough period for me previously, due to frequent contractions earlier on. I am still on the two med, ventoline and adalac. Just seen my gynae today in my 34 weeks and 2 days. My bb gal is about 2.5kg now and I will probably deliver her in 5 Jul when I reach full term at 37 weeks. Looking forward to seeing her in 3 weeks time, counting down now...
Hope everyone here is doing well. Take care all!

re: bb food
porky, yah, can imagine how tough it is to cook for bb for 1 wk! weekend i oledi running out of ideas
lunch is porridge/mee sua/macaroni.. for dinner, we make it simpler -- cook our dinner and cut the food into small pieces, mix with rice n soup...
re: bb sleep
yuan2 is sleeping later but sleep thru 10pm to 7am... hubby let her sleep in aircon room when i was away for biz trip... now she is used to sleeping in aircon room

Hmm I feel bad for my gal now. I recently dropped 1 milk feed and now looking all mommies, I think she's probably not drinking enough milk. She's has 3 milk feed, 730- 180ml, 4pm - 220ml and 815pm - 220ml. She's drinking enfa grow and it says 4 scoop for 225ml, weird hor? Usually it's 1scoop = 30or 60ml.

juju: She doean't have a morning tea.. The milk is her breakfast. After her morning milk, her next meal will be her lunch.
Sashimi: Your girl is drinking about the same as mine leh.. I thought by now, their main nutrients shouldnt come from milk but should come from their solids already?

think for cheese, i wld give only plain for the time being. 1st pack i bot mixture of flavours, in case she dun like, i can eat. now dat cfrm she ok wif the plain flavour, i will buy single flavour pack for her liao.
Ju, I gave Hailey the ham flavor before. Like if it's for breakfast then the cheese w toast or plain bread, if lunch or dinner, can use it as melted cheese to make risotto or macaroni n cheese. Like that won't be too salty. Hth!
