Newbie Mom,
u can try california baby calendula cream. My daughter had a very bad episode of eczema b4 and she had it almost the whole part of her back and neck. it works like magic, now she's does not have any more. the steriod cream are for only temporary relief and does not work too well. I will apply the california baby super sensitive everyday lotion for her after bath and the calendula cream whenever her skin starts to show signs of reddish w spots.
As for PD, I have gone to Kidslink Bedok and Happy Baby Clinic @ East Shore Hospital, so I can give u review on these two. Charges are roughly the same for vaccinations but varies when u bring ur sick babies.
Happy Baby (Dr Melati) - Opens office hrs only. 1st consultation fees $50, subsequent $35. Every time go for vaccinnation need to pay consultation fees.
Kidslink Bedok (Dr Lim Woan Huah) - opens most mornings, some afternoons n night sessions. Check out their webby. consultation fees $50 but dunt need to pay when going for vaccinations. only pay for the vaccines, but think they charge their vaccines slightly more on the pricy side. Eg prevenar injection, 1 dose = $185 but at Happy Baby Clinic its $160, if i remembered correctly. If u bring sick child, depends on what medicine they give. roughly $80-$100++
Both doctors are friendly, so far no problem for me. Dr Melati handles newborns at the nursery @ ESH. Dr Lim has special interest in respiratory medicine. I have asthma but my babies dunt have. So far, my #1 only has sensitive skin due to my asthma history. So if any asthma case, i probably will bring my kids to kidslink.
My #1 all the way went to Happy Baby, now will still follow up there. My #2, i decided to bring her to kidslink coz i can walk there n is open on some nites just in case i nv take leave or what.
