Kim, don't use the normal powdery powder, it may not be good for the bb respiratory system, especially if the parents have astma tendency, like me. Use the Avent liquid powder, it's a liquid form turn to powder type, so there won;t be any dust flying and inhaled, just a suggestion...

kim, yes, it's available at taka. I have just bought 2 packs. Also, the bottom balm is super super good. My #1 boy was using that till now, and for 3 years he never had any diaper rash at all. It provides a sort of barrier film on the skin, so there is no direct contact with urine or poo in the diaper

Hi Mummies
May I join your thread? I gave birth to a baby boy in Mount E on 1 Jul.
Would like to find out if the 6-in-1 jab has any impact on your baby's feeding. Realised that my boy seems to be drinking less after his jab and weight gain is also slower. Not sure if there's any linkage between the two.

Winnie_mummy,
I'm using Similac 1 (with Advanced Shield on the can) now. My initial stock was from NTUC (with EYE-Q on the can). I encountered constipation towards this last week of her 2nd month, but never had diarrhoea from the Similac before.
I am not using moisturiser on Joie for the time being. Initially used Mustela face cream on her face and body cream on the body cos the shedding of the early skin makes her skin dry. But now bathing her with a Mustela milk bath, and her face looks a little oily, I just powder her with cornstarch baby powder. The Mustela moisturiser doesn't leave an oily feeling. She had a milk rash around the neck during the 1st month, but was advised by the PD to use diaper rash cream on it, so I applied Desitin creamy and it cleared up.

Lea,
whn d u gv you boy the 6in1? I did mine2days ago, n I just started increasing his feed fr 4oz to 4.5oz, so far no issue exp he was drinking slow whn his fever comes up. He took 4oz on his last feed @10pm, normally he wont wake up until 3am even when his last feed was 9:30pm, but just now, he w/up @1am fussing impatiently for milk. So, he is showing no sign of rejecting orr reducing milk intake.
Coolkero, in fact both my PILs r here, but only till sept9. dun worry, by now your bb shd b on a routine and his muscles r better devp, so easier for u to care for him. All will be well for u!
RE: bb dry skin
doc says my boy has dry skin thou I can't see any sign of it.. He asked me to use Cetaphil cleanser. So I switch fr J&J top-toe to Cetaphil now (to reduce dryness on skin), din use any moisturizer but considering CB Calendula cream on areas that are dry. I apply anointing oil on his cradle cap.

HBB,
yaryar, surprisingly effective on rashes
. Yup, I still want the desitin, halfway thru with 1 tube already. Can hold for me till the next gathering? I can trf payment to you. Otherwise, if you're hanging out in the east area ECP or Parkway, let me know I'll make a trip out.
Kim,
I also feel very protective sometimes of MIL carrying the bb. Initially, I was livid when she swing her quite hard in the 1st month, and screwing up with her sleep training by visiting till late in the 1st month when I was doing confinement at my mother's (North area, too far for her to see the bb daily; I live a walking dist from my MIL). Occasionally, she offers to look after Joie thru the night, and I'm like "no way", too early to start screwing with my pattern. But sometimes I really need a break cos I get overtired and need a breather, MILs are useful.

Kim,
I love CB calendula cream on DD's face; it's very good, cleared up her eczema. CB's everyday lotion for her body, but when she gets older, I'll switch to cetaphil. You should load up on CB products when you go to the states, much cheaper there
Re: J&J products
I agree w HBB on J&J products. Don't use them if you think your bb has sensitive skin, probably too much artificial ingredients (fragrant, etc). I used J&J soothing naturals range for #1, cradle cap and skin rash was very bad, that's when I switch to CB and cetaphil. My ped highly recommends physiogel when the eczema gets really bad.

Hi carebeary,
I also notice my gal more cranky during this period. I suspect colic too so give her colic drop since sat. These few days better. Maybe you con't to give and monitor.
Massage his tummy in clockwise position and put ru yi oil to see if is helps.

Noelle, the cetaphil is especially for baby one? or the one that we always see in guardian (adult also using the same one?)
Coolkero, I use the liquid talc on the skin fold (like the neck area) or whenever there is redness or rashes.
What is the name of CB liquid soap that you all using?
sam, winnie, I also got my similac from Tesco or Jusco JB, wondering whether there is any significant difference you notice? Because I never used the one from here, I stocked up a lot when I went JB

Bestberries,
Sure
hehe actually just went Parkway ytd after going to the PD about Joie's infrequent stools (PD says is infrequent stools lar - to the mummy, it's constipation, cos she cries like someone smacked her by the 3rd night). Same she doesn't poop for 3 days and then goes on the fourth day with a big one for the last week. 3 consecutive times in a row, I can't take it, so went to PD.
Story is having infrequent stools from 2months is common, but by day 5-6, must see doc. The PD gave me suppository but give only as last resort. She poke a finger up the poor gal's bum to see if any blockage, but she's clear. Later I went Parkway for breakfast, she gave me a big one. Luckily we were feeding her in Isetan's nursery room.
Doc's recommendation: Best to give her more BM. Otherwise introduce more fluids like 20ml of water or diluted prune juice (haha yar Kim, can give prune juice now), or boiled raisins water. Alternatively change FM, she suggested Enfalac. Asked her what's the diff, what's in Enfalac, she say not really that big difference, just a different formula to find one that suits her... Went to ColdStorage to see the Enfalac FM, sigh, got like 4 varieties for stage 1 milk, so didn't bother cos she's already on 3 different kind of milk - BM, Similac, Friso.

consider getting a separate freezer for BM. My friend did that. My fridge also filling up soon. Going slow now. Waiting to move house, get a bigger fridge then start freezing again. Use it to bathe Edna.
Carebeary
My girl is like that too in the evening. Sometimes i think if it's due to 7th mth n i've been bringing her out too. But i just tell myself not to be so into such superstitious stuff n dismiss it off as colic. she also wants to be carried n will cry lesser but still has difficulties falling asleep despite crying. so i now resist to carry her n rock her in yaolan instead.
