sweethalo, it's ok not to let baby use any pillow or bolster until they're older. I don't plan on letting my baby use them also. Especially when they start learning to flip over, but not too "zai" yet, I don't want to risk suffocation.
hi gals, i hope to cheer up my day here. how's everyone? yesterday wk v busy, din get to 'chat' here. ha, by the speed the posts are updated here. it really seem like a chat. 3 archives jus for one day.

sweethalo,think they were quite confused too..
shelisa, think for pet pet smallest is S size which is the orange packaging one..
I plan to buy one pack each for pet pet, mamy poko and ntuc brand (if I can find sizes). when used up, I will activate hubby to stock up at the cheapest place (after I recee where is the cheapest)

sweethalo/tubbymummy, cot death sounds scary to me too. esp the sudden infant death syndrome. read tat thr's still no medical proof of why it happens or how it happens. so dunno how to prevent it also. but i read that we can avoid baby being suffocated by blanket or pillow by putting baby to bed at the bottom of the cot. cos baby normally kicks and moves upwards. so at least the blanket/pillow has less chance of covering the face of the baby.

sweethalo, ya me too scared of cot death. My mum used to be a nanny to a couple of kids whose mother was a nurse. She also said no need pillow, but taught my mum to raise the base of the cot at one end (the head of the cot), so there is a very slight incline. She said like that no need to spend money to buy what wedge incline pillow, and it's safe for baby in case they regurgitate in their sleep, less likely to choke. Also help to prevent reflux. But of course if your baby got a lot of reflux problems, it may be more comfy sleeping on a bouncer that is a lot more inclined. I'll look at the cot later to figure out if I can raise the base on one end in any way...
Had another bout of breathless/nauseadizziness just now. Had to turn on aircon plus full blast fan, and was lying down on couch. Feel better again now. I hope I don't get this everyday!

Tks for everyone's concern, I'm seeing gynae tomorrow, so I'll definitely tell him. I think I got this feeling a couple of times during 1st tri, but that time morning sickness mah. But now no explanation. Dun tell me morning sickness again?? Or like what chidori said, cld be low BP. I'll ask doc tomorrow.
Hi Mika, didn't see u in here yesterday. Don't let the stress get to you...
Ya, letting baby sleep closer to the "bottom" is supposed to be good. Another thing is if you want to give baby a pillow, make sure it's a very flat one, and put it UNDER the sheets, so that pillow got no chance to move around and flip over baby's face and suffocate him/her. But I think since pillow so flat, what's the point, just don't use haha.

sweethalo, got aircon on
Nowadays don't switch on aircon will die. But maybe still not enough for me, so when I felt dizzy jus now, I switched fan on full blast also, blow straight at me. Now feel damn cold (still blowing).
tubbymummy, breathlessness? me too, on some days. mayb baby growing, uterus getting bigger and pushing up the lungs, then if bb in certain positions not comfy tat's why the breathlessness. i need to gasp for air even when jus sitting around. but it's not a prolong affair, mayb a day, then nxt day will b better.

tubbymummy,
no choice lah.. need to rake my brains abit when it comes to my MIL.. but as long as not too overboard, I still consider myself quite a good DIL..
parking nd traffic in town area is terrible on weekends.. unless your hubby drives you, else its better to take cab lah..

Mika, mine also started with the gasping for air thing. I would be seated on couch watching TV, and will suddenly feel very short of air and start panting. But yesterday start new pattern, where I will feel nauseous at the same time, and slowly head got heavy feeling, like want to faint that kind. Maybe baby pressing on some nerve? But I think ask doc, I'm scared he'll just say it's quite normal. I'm hoping he can give more useful answer

chidori, my hubby doesn't drive! That's why I'm the family driver. When I'm in confinement later, the car will also go into "storage".
sweethalo, I'm still alive haha. Feel better liao, but still have fan blowing at me, just in case. I'm thinking if later I feel ok, I will go town, maybe I just need to walk around a bit, breathe some fresh air?? Yesterday I didn't leave the house.

ahnetsan, if gynae tell me it's NORMAL, my trick is to answer "Yes, I believe it's normal also, but what can I do to make myself feel better, or to make it go away? Any suggestions?". Usually will get a more useful response from him, he won't tell me "just live with it". But my gynae still not that bad lah, even if it's "normal", he'll still put it in a reassuring way and not make u feel boh liao for asking, so at least I don't feel like I'm wasting my money haha!
haha... when my gynae says it's normal, den i will ask him den wat's abnormal? and how do i know whether it's normal or not?? den he will say if u feel u need to enquire abt anything, you can always call up and ask. den he ended wif a smile on his face.
i was like diao lor... but my gynae is stil quite nice lah, he will always say in advance the things i may experience over the next few weeks, so at least i knw wat to expect...
