coolkero > some spitups of milk/curds are normal, cos baby's sphincter muscle that closes the stomach off is not fully developed, thats why sometimes can spit up

poohbear,
domperidone can get from any GP. It's actually meant for digestive problem, some use to help increase milk supply. Haha, my GP likes to give me domperidone for digestive problem, but I refuse to take during pregnancy cos dun want to expose bb to too much meds.

same! darius also but he fussed only when he's 3rd month which leave me puzzeled and kanchiong bcos im onli a few days away to be back to work.
immediately chiong down to KP and bought 1 NUK bottles wif latex bottle to try and is ok. so went to bought somemore.
peanut
darius head is not even stable. cant hold on his own straight up for long but PD sae it gd enuff for him. not sure isit bcos of his size?
i heard from relatives and frens, dey sae the smaller they are, the easier and faster for them to do stuff like flipping. but slightly bigger size babies or heavier babies will take longer time.
my fren whose bb is nw 8.8kg at 5th month just learn hw to flip 1 week before turning 5months old.
but another fren of mine the baby alreadi know hw to flip at 4 months old. another 1 at 4 days old. interesting hor.
lamagier
my fren was also telling me abt this domperidone too!
she sae her gynae gave it to her. but she dun encourage us to take bcos it's not supplement but medication.
but super tempted and not sure if we go GP dey will be willing to gif or not

For those who keeps getting clogged ducts, u can try taking 1 tablespoon of Soy Lecithin daily. Just add to any beverage. It helps. U can get a nature farm or any pharmacy.

Lamagier/Mashy,
Thanks for the info.
Just one quick question if it is medication, is it ok/safe to eat much of it since it will go to the baby via the milk?
Thanks for the info.

re: rental of toys
i was also thinkin of renting toys to try out because dey aint cheap!
at first thinkin of jumperoo. but then my fren advise me not to since it have a max weight it can carry at 12kg and my boy already 7kg+ yet his neck not stable yet. and also i think exersauce is much better since other then jumping, it can also spin and rock.
ani comments on this? bcos realised not mani people take exersauce compare to jumperoo
menglee
nevermind lar. take it as dey flip later, we enjoy more first. hahahha. once dey know hw to flip. we haf to keep our eyes on them 24hrs or bring them wif us to do wdaever ting we need to do.
my fren's bb flip at the most unexpected time when she was admitted to KKH and flip in front of the nurse. u cant believe the look on the nurse face.

LS,
Hee, I like flower flower dress, though on minrui & not me... Hee, for someone whose wardrobe almost all black, my bb wardrobe is surprisingly colourful =p I figure I can dress her in all sort of silly stuff and still look cute. Once get to toddler, then will start to look silly
The jumperoo came without the box . But the rental lady ask me put baby in, ask me how many month is baby, then never say anything. Saw on some website that if baby can hold head stable and not able to climb out then ok for jumperoo. My Minrui also just hit 7kg... hahaha fat girl

Hi mummies, did u feed milk with cereal for your babies or separately? That is, cereal alone not mixed with milk. Coz I have different opinions from older generations. *Headache*

i suppose it's safe altho the official stance is no. drs have prescribed this to bf mothers n haven;t read any negative literature on this. start wif 10mg 3x a day first. coz some may get side effects. i got headache when i doubled to 20mg 3x a day n had to cut down.

Gina,
Medela's silion teats right? Gen can only use latex teats... Btw, my lil Gen merlion today at Dian Xiao Er restaurant... aiyo... shocked me sia... never saw her merlion b4, jus like Ju En at Mintymom's house... That kaypo girl keep looking at the toddler yelling in the restaurant, ended up she choked on her milk... haiz...
Pprincess,
Sometimes, our babies r so weird... Suddenly dun like silicon teat and prefer latex ones... Mine too... Silicon teats for first month only...
Gen also yet to flip even though she's so light... but her head is stable le coz she able to lift up when on tummy and already in walker...
Re: Jumperoo
Let lil Gen tried out the jumperoo, courtesy of Ju En's... She still prefer her walker to the jumperoo coz she could travel about in her walker and poke her nose into everything (super kay po girl)... She could move forward now, but not as fast as her backstroke thou... Nonetheless, she could only sit in her walker for less than 10 mins, not more than that thou...
Bbethan,
Do share with me on wat ur PD says about gaining weight for our light weight babies... Gen's thigh seems thicker after feeding her cereals, maybe coz I only get to bring her home on weekends thus her growth seems more obvious to me...
Re: Metro Ladies' Night on 20 Nov 2009
Mummies who are Metro cardmembers, there is a 20% off storewide PLUS up to additional 20% off at the Ladies Department on 20 Nov 2009 at Metro Paragon, 6 to 11 pm...
Wonder if Monsoon's clothes and accessories have additional 20% discount, so tempted to buy shoes and stockings for lil Gen at Level 3.... hm....

Wakodo is 1 scoop - 20ml water.. for example 150ml water i put in 6 scoops instead of 7.5 scoops as i generally put in more My boy love it n can drink 210ml of it.. hahahaaha.. So for 210ml i put in 8 scoops..
enfalac last time the best he has gone is 120ml n mst use force then drink.. so im stickin to it..
cereal
some cereals oredi have milk content in it such as friso n nestle thus no need to put in milk.. overloaded if still mix wif milk.. other brands which dun have milk content its up to individual to mix wif water or milk.. tis wat i read so far..

My girl prob like what mashy says, beathe in air also will get fat. Hahaha, that's wy I keep calling her fat girl (got scolding from my sister)
Bbethan,
My aunt takes care of my girl (include week day nites). My mum told me $700 std rate, so I just follow. Add $50 when she starts on solids like porridge. If only day, it's between $500-600 I think. Expensive.... but what to do....

Bbethan,
Emailed you. How come suddenly looking for infant care?
Kitty,
She seems to like it. Look very puzzled initially, but last night she has learnt to sit in it and watch TV =p. She was whining when I put her on the couch, but was ok in the jumperoo. Prob a nice change from lying down most of the day. But the seat comes up to just below her arm pits (she's vertically challenged), so she leans forwrd and starts to suck on the jumperoo... haiz... need to line clean diaper cloth around to protect the jumperoo... Hope Lucius will like it. Which site you rented from? I may want to change to a different type after the rental expires... Rent That Toy only has the deluxe one....
Noelle,
You might have to check with the toy rental people. SO far I've only came across monthly rentals

looking for backup plans. want to see how much nanny charges or infant care services or consider letting my mum take care. fed up with my MIL already. every now and then when quarrel with my hb, will bring up $ issue and say want to go out to work and ask us to find childcare for baby. so better do some homework first in case she really means it.

hi everyone... im new to this....
i have a daughter delivered in july... now shes 4 mths already....
when i went for her 4th mth immunisation, i met a parent with her daughter abt the same age as my BB. but when i placed her BB side to side with mine, my heart sank... her BB is so huge and plump!!!! can you imagine a baby at age 3 mths weighs 7kg whereas mine weighs 5.8 at 4 mths...
so i asked her is there anything xtra 'ingredient' given to the BB, she said she added Friscocrem to the milk at every feeding...
ladies... is friscocrem that good?
my BB is on S26 can i still add friscocrem to it?
i stop BF because after a mth it dried up
ladies i need you advice....

actually we don't give my MIL $$ for taking care of bb too. both of us give her some allowance since we got married for household and my hb is paying for the utilities etc. thus i feel fair enuf not to give anymore. furthermore she's not cooking for my #1 or us and i still hv to do baby's laundry myself. she's literally just looking at baby while we worked. haiz...
anyway all the best for yr trip. i'm sure u can make it.
lamagier
dun think she'll give trouble lah as long as she can wash her hands off us. actually she's not those nosey MIL lah... just that she's simply just want easy life, get $ n hv her own life. but she just doesn't understand that we are sloughing hard to earn $ and we also hv our own expenses. she has the old thinking of depending on children to support them after bringing them up.

bestberries,
The jumperoo I got is clean, and of cos, looks a bit old. I've also decided not to buy any toys liao cos most toys so bulky... lots of storage prob.
Bbethan,
Sigh... it's also tricky when it comes to money issue. Hope you & the husband will be able to work something out

bestberries,
So lucky! If you'd already got toys for each stage for their development, no need to stock up. I happened to be stuck in the rut that relatives are expecting new arrivals or kids still in that stage of using the stuff. But the big-ass toys really take up too much space for me to buy them, cos gotta keep the boxes in case we move or sell off. Just placed a rent order this morning for the jumperoo, waiting for their reply too for availability.

Bbethan,
probably good to find other options of childcare that are flexible if your MIL got bored of being stuck with the baby. Sigh, sad when old folks don't understand that "$ is hard to earn". Maybe when you found the option, sound it out to her, in case she's fickle and says she wants the baby around, don't waste money and all that nonsense.
