poohbear75, you can try asking your paediatrician. I read somewhere that you may be able to get some nasty tasting solution made for the purpose to stop kids from sucking fingers from pharmacy but it may be more suitable for older children.
My boy also trying to suck his fist now that I have taken off his mittens - but we always try to push his hands away from his mouth and offer pacifier instead (sometimes he takes, sometimes he push out with tongue).
Generally in my opinion, it would be better to suck pacifier than fingers, since sucking pacifier is "easier" to stop habit than sucking finger (can throw pacifier away but cannot throw finger away!). I see young kids (5-9 years old) at work (I work as an orthodontist, dentist who specializes in braces to straighten teeth) who cannot stop finger sucking habit...at that age, it is definitely a problem!
Trying very hard to stop my baby from sucking fingers too

hi mummies,
i just join this thread, my bb was born in 27 july. has anyone put her bb to infant care or going to put her in infant care? my bb is easily awake in the day time, i wonder she can adapt to the infant care environment where the care giver may not able to give so much attention to my gal.

Finger-sucking
I sort of gave up getting up in the middle of the night last night to put her paci back into her mouth for the 15th time, even washed her hands so that don't have that salty taste cos she doesn't like the taste of water. So exhausted by 3am, so I just slept with the sucking noise.

Think Joie also a little over stimulated meeting so many babies in one day. Been like having a mini growth spurt over the last couple of days. Finishes her usual bottle of 100ml, gets hungry before her usual 3hrly intervals, and needs a 3am feed. But looks like things gone back to normal this morning.
Weird thing is that she has nv cry when she sleeps, like keep having nightmares on Tuesday night, wakes up wailing, have to keep comforting her. Got worried looks from my MIL who comes over every afternoon on Wed. Luckily I can cooed her back to normal, so I just bluff her and say she's sticky to mummy, maybe know her parents going on holiday in 3 weeks time... start to manja... sigh... think should let her be around other babies more cos I notice she tenses up in nappy rooms outside when there are other crying babies, and at home and grannies' place got no other babies also.

BBEthan, ya, that's what my hb ay, get some retailers to organize talks, gifts, and moms can hv fun wz bb. I dun mind millenia walk, dunno what other mom thinks?
Poohbear & pheonix, OMG, ur girls r heavy too? do u hv problem carry'g? I was also told K may not walk as soon as other kids due to his weight.
SabSab, let me know if it works for you not cos it's fr an experienced mom. I din try cos K sleeps in his own cradle.
Gina, the new Similac is the one I made for Juen that day. If she is growing, no sign of dehydration, poos well, forget abt dream feed. cluster feed & dream feed din work for K, so I also discarded this. (looks like your Juen & my K getting more and more alike huh? exp I know the "gek sai" is diff, your girl is aft all more lady.
PPricess, u stress? diet change?
HKBB, welcome back, glad to here bb is well. Hope u r too! Do u 1 2 PM one of us your number in case there is one coming n u din read in time?
Iyven, welcome to the thread. I cant offer opinion on infant care but I suggest u also chk infant care svc on their ratio of care giver to infant.
RE: Paci vs fingers
I totally agree with muffingirl (hi-5)

Sam, oh dear, I hope Joie is ok these few days..K was obviously stimulated, cos next day lots of fussing, spit ups n keeps want to be held (usually the day aft day of full activities). Agree that he also need to b around bb more and gotta bring him out for activities more too.
Kim,
she seems back to her normal cheerful self last night and this morning. little babies, don't know what's going on in their heads...
Re: Bed issue
Joie co-sleeps with me when discharged from hosp till I moved home 1 month+ after confinement, and has been on her cot since. I do know with her she needs the human presence during the early 1+ months, so need to look in on her every 10mins or so, or can hear people sound. With most sleep place changes, it's usually a security issue, they need to feel safe, that caregiver is near, so stay a little longer with her when she sleeps, and step away and come back in, so she knows you are near.

How's Edna after the 6-in-1? She had Rotavirus as well? Natesha will be going for her 1st dose of 6-in-1 tomorrow. She is now 10 weeks old... Edna had her first dose at 6 weeks?
Kitty

Thinking of stocking up on supplies then slowly wean off... (and also start on my weight loss prog - ha ha ha) Wil be collecting my MLMMP tomorrow- keeping fingers crossed
LS
yes,taking so many vit now - only wondering how to incorporate the MLMMP. I asked the lady at vitakids - she said no prb taking on the same day, just not at the same time... she suggested taking all the multi-vit etc in the morning aft breakfast. Then MLMMP after about 2 hrs....
Pprincess
maybe you are stressed about going back to work and missing baby dats y supply dropping? How's your new maid? any better?
Finger-sucking & mittens
Cut Natesha's fingernails about 2 weeks ago and decided to take her mittens off. Alamak , she scratched her eyelid (nails were still a bit sharp after cutting) and I had to put them on again. I notice when I take them off, she puts her hands to her face, her eyes and seems like she is catching ants there - ha ha. Last week, she started sucking her mittens! Now, I have to change her mittens a few times a day coz it's so wet and smelly...gotta try taking them off again...
Sam
Wow, envious - wish i cld go on a holiday before starting work too. I go back to work first week of Nov.

HBB: Max had his first jab a day after Edna and gus 2nd jab a month after that. He had his dose of rota on both occasions as well.
iyven, im putting my ger in infant care next week. My ger also dun sleep much during day , hv to depend on her mood and weather. The ratio in my infant care is 1:3 as there are two teacher at each shift and there are only 6 kids. The teacher told me that the ratio for infant care is 1:4 max and govt might change it to 1:3 soon.
Maybe u can try half day for her for the 1st week to get use to the environment and slowly adjust her to full day.

Welcome. yes, I think i am a supplement freak! I take Fish oil, calcium, multivit (the ones i took during preg), Phosphatidylcholine (brain food-supports liver health, sensory, reduces fatigue) and occasionally something additional for the immune system ... scary right.... my husband nags tt i have too many vit in me. Somehow, I think the supp hv helped my immune system + also bb coz she absorbs all my vit in the ebm. touch wood

Hey I like your hubby’s idea of seeking sponsorship but then will it be expected of us to give something in return? E.g. product endorsement, publicity, etc? Can actually try something with one of those mags like YP or Motherhood or Mother&Baby…
<font color="0000ff">Gina</font>, which restaurant do you have in mind? Is there a minimum no. of mommies before they will take us? Actually <font color="0000ff">babyethan’s</font> suggestion on Millenia Walk is quite good, I used to go there with my classmates to do project work as it is often quiet and the store owners are grateful for the business so won’t chase us poor students sway. BTW babyethan, what dogs do you and hubby own? Are you also in doggy forum?
<font color="0000ff">HBB</font>, I love the cakes your friend make – do they taste as good as they look? Are her prices akin to Cheryl Shuen? My favorite from gladcakes is the Precious Moments series.
<font color="0000ff">Winnie_mummy</font>, I took off the booties from my son in the day, only put on at night when he zzz in air-con room as he likes to kick off his blanket.
<font color="0000ff">pprincess</font>
My supply drop drastically too when I went back to work and when it gets super stressful and busy, it depletes even more. So sad sigh…I hope your working environment is not as bad. Or is there some other reason for the drop?
<font color="0000ff">LS</font>, I hate taking these supplements as swallowing tablets is very xin ku to me but I force myself to every morning – 2 tabs of calcium, 2 tabs of post-natal and 1 tab of MLMP. Still gotta take MLMP 3X spread over the rest of the day. I try to buy efferverscent or in liquid form where possible.
<font color="0000ff">iyuen + Joanne</font>, welcome to the thread, you will find that this is a very addictive forum and it moves very fast at times and one cannot catch up... Or maybe it is just me who is slow…
anyway with regards to iyuen’s concern abt infant care, I thought MrsC’s suggestion of doing for half a day for a start is great. When are you suppose to return to work? I am also a FTWM but leave my baby at work with the helper. <font color="0000ff">MrsC</font>, you are going back to work next week for ½ day everyday?
<font color="0000ff">Sam</font>, how long are you gonna be in Perth for? Not intending to freeze your milk and bring back in freezer bag for Joie? I did that when I took off to KL for one night. Anyhow enjoy your hols!
<font color="0000ff">Solution to apply on hand to prevent babies from sucking fingers</font>
I used to bite my nails and did apply some sort of bitter solution on my fingernails to stop my bad habit, didn’t know they have an equivalent for kids! Haha…

Re sucking fingers/mittens:
Eva sucks her fist and sometimes her thumb, and we don't offer the pacifier to her. We've been told that this is part and puzzle of a baby's sensory development plus it's their way of finding comfort (which is ideally what you want because it promotes independence and self-soothing skills).
Actually, finger sucking is only bad when it continues past the age of 5. Otherwise, it's perfectly natural and okay. I have heard of babies who suck their thumbs even AFTER you throw away the pacifier. :/
Most of the time, if you distract them, babies would stop sucking their fingers, especially if you offer them a toy to play with. But with a pacifier, well, you can still play with a toy AND suck on a pacifier.
So I dunno. I'm kind of stumped on the matter - thumb or pacifier? Hm.

FOZ,
I'm going away for almost 1 week, and will be self-driving trip for most part of it, don't think I will be able to freeze the milk reliably. But I will still pump during the trip, not very good with milk supply already, so pump so that I won't be dry when I get back to SG.
Yes, needed a break, haven't flew for more than a year, and Perth is one of the places both of us can travel blind-folded, so low-stress level. Think I might go crazy shopping at my old hunts, for baby stuff this time ^^;

Sam...so envy you can go for a break...have a good holiday ok?
HBb, MrsC, I missed out the website for the cake. can you give me again?
LS, take the multivitamin. so you can skip calcium and other vit. for breastfeeding, add fish oil and fenugreek. The multivitamin I take is the one from GNC called Womens Mega, this is like superpower pill for me...heee...will help to restore your energy after night waking and immunity. So you only have 3 pills to take daily.

bbethan, I'm ok too with milenia walk. But as hbb said better check whether they can accomodate so many pram and if possible advance booking will be more convinient for us.
hbb, talking about booties and socks, nowadays I never put socks for Naomi at home, coz she's wearing her anklet...heee..I know it sounds so stupid. Just now I forgot to set the room temperature to 25, it was 22 with full fan. I totally forgot about it because I was doing my work and usually Naomi will entertain herself when she awake and never cry. The room was freezing cold and she didn't put any socks on. Just now she was crying for 15min long, that's the longest cry for her, I panicked and thought that she catched cold or something because her nose got mucus. Offered her the breast also still cry. After a bottle of milk she calmed down already, so may be she's too hungry. Argh... feel so guilty

Han Bao Bao,
Regarding lying flat to sleep, try using a pillow to let her feel incline. Last time Regis will wake up almost immediately when i put him to bed (without pillow), after that i introduce pillow and he sleeps well with it. In addition, it will help to reduce spit up after feeding and burping.

Re: sucking pacifier now
Babyethan, we don't know for sure when the finger sucking or pacifier sucking will affect the development of the palate and the bite.
(if affected, can have a much higher palate than normal, narrower width of palate which results in the dental arch becoming narrow, and affecting the bite - front teeth more likely to stick out, back teeth biting in an incorrect relationship also)
I choose to only use orthodontic pacifiers that is supposed to not affect palate and dental development.

Sorry I couldn't attend the meetup and missed the fun
Baby caught a cold with very blocked nose (can hear the sniffing of mucus noise) and cough. Been to the doc and now I'm confining him at home. Really hopes he get better real soon, very heartpain to see his teary eyes, poor appetite, and sleepy head. haiz... :__(

Thank you for the warm welcome.
I have checked with the infant care, the ratio is 1:4. I am putting her to infant care on 5th oct and return work on 19 oct. i m having the same plan as u all suggested. may be put half day for the 1st few days.
MrsC, when your ger awake, does she just lie down or want to be carried? my ger like to be carried and walk around. can we train her to lie on the bed? or may be is too warm and she want to wake up and walk around.

ETirto, oh dear, your Naomi v sweet, whn K cry so loud n punching left n right, she jz calmly lay next to him. so envious u girls can go shopping for bb girls stuff, boy ah, nothing to get excited about shopping for them de.
Peanut long time no hear. now I knw why.. hope aok at ur end liao. bb catching cold at this age must b careful cos easily get ear infection.. we miss u too, somemore u stay so near me.
Iyven, sorry for my K.po. I think 1:4 is quite high leh. Ideally 1:3 or less better cos bb so young.. Iyven, u let ur girl nap n sleep same place? how abt trying separate? sat her cot for sleeping, nap in a rocker/bouncer/pram/stroler etc, so she wont think whn u put her in her cot is to expect her to sleep for a long time.

MuffinGirl,
Thanks will ask my PD the next time round. I also in a dilema as to whether to give pacifier to prevent the habit of sucking fingers but I had a hard time trying to wean my elder one off the last time round so quite hesitant to use it on the younger one. Have been trying to push her hand away from her mouth everytime I see it but it does get quite tiring...
Kim,
Just finished carrying my girl to put her to sleep and boy is my back and arms aching....I try to bounce her to sleep on the bouncer if I can cos really cannot tahan the weight....my elder girl was equally big so I can only say my back is permanantly spolit....with regards to walking late, I don't think so cos my elder one started walking at 10/1/2 mths...took her a long while to learn to flip from front to back and back to front cos too heavy but did not affect her walking...think kids who are put on walkers will learn to walk later cos of the tiptoeing....

pprincessbaobei,
I v kiasi and brought my girl to 2 different PDs and both of them says the same thing (coz she inherit my sensitive nose)... The first PD prescribed 2 nasal drops but hubby doesnt find that it helps... ended that we discontinued and make sure we pump out regularly... The first time we brought her to PD as we thought she has phelgm coz we keep hearing wheezing sounds from her... At the clinic, the PD nagged at us and kept repeating it was "Pi Sai" (mucus) and not phelgm (keep emphasized that No cough = No phelgm)... Being first time parents, how would me and my HB know so much... But me and my HB quietly stood there and listen to the lady PD nagging at us... Frustrated at that time, pay so much to see a PD but kena scolded... haiz... But b4 we went out of the consultation room, my little girl (was barely 1 month) yelled v v loudly at the PD... keke... Think she knows we frustated and get back at the PD for us... Shiok... That PD even say my girl so fierce...
Now I only bring her to TMC PD, not ever going to the first PD again...
