Hi michelle his temp did go down now is like 37.7 we kept sponging him too but he gets angry especially when he fall asleep we still sponge him, but no choice but to do it. We even gave him nurofen as given by the doctor, hope his temp will go down soon.
 
babiesmeme

u know hor, sponging has a technique. U need to sponge the lymph nodes. Under the arm pits, near the groin, neck behind the ear. 37.7 is ok already. Don't need to sponge anymore. It's considered low grade fever only. Can just give paracaetamol, no need nurofen.
 
hi mashy Under arms also have to? Near to dido also ? I only do on his forehead neck .. can wear sleeveless not? What temp is consider high? Fever patch is it the cooling plaster from pigeon do I still need to put
 
cooking porridge
not sure if this works for slow cooker, but i achieved super nua canto style porridge like those we eat at dim sum restaurant, by putting a porcelain spoon while cooking, it really helps!
 
Hi Michelle bb temp down to 37.5 I stopped sponging Then give him some fever orange syrup and put the pigeon cooling plaster it works his temp now is 36.7

Eunice~how about CITY SQUARE MALL???? loads of food outlets inside with FARRER PARK MRT below.



JG classes~personally find it veyr good n interesting.....attendees p;ays a big part cos alot of times......children just walk/run around disturbing others.....then we may feel our $ not well spend liao...so when going to al these classes...we hv to try to control them too.

their classes usually is the most expensive amongst all.other than them GUG is another good alternative.


LEAP school house Trial lesson~was just okie to me.all teachers mostly locals.(perfer PHL ,better command of english,can sing n dance very well n more jovial)

classes are nt cheap so nt signing up la.but trial lessons u guys can bring bbs there to hv a taste of how playgroups are
happy.gif
 
Felicia~porcelain spoon can do such wonders???i go try try ehheheh.bt wats the logic har?

babiesmeme~good to hear that bb is better now
happy.gif
give loads of water
 
weishy
not sure what's the logic, maybe to break down the rice to smaller pieces? LOL.. like Claire, i used to put a spoon when cooking red/green bean soup also, but just learned that need to use porcelain spoon to cook the rice porridge, and the porridge i cooked today looks like milk to me, LOL..

Good morning mommies

Avacado: The fruit store man said, if leave it outside still cannot soften it means the avacado no good lah. Must buy Australia Avacado, sure baby will like. I bought from him $1.50 each. It really taste good. Didnt buy much fruit for this week. The boss said, qing ming (March) and 7th month fruit normally not nice. Baby no rock melon this week lor.

Chinese herbs for baby: Yesterday really pocket a big hole when buying the cordyceps. I've to witness the boss grind them into powder. Took me 2 hrs in the store. Also must see her grind the pearl powder. Any mommies also feeding babies chinese herbs?

Baby cried very loud last night: Dont know if cos we brought her out whole day yesterday, or daddy played her most dislike toy (the music ball) last night with her (to train her to accept the music ball) or I really dont know why, she cried till I've to take over daddy's shift to comfort her and she slept on me almost for 3hrs. Baby's first time like this, cried so loud and long for no reasons.

Babiesmeme and Michelle. Thank god no more fever. Both of u must be very exhausted.

Michelle. You baby not able to sit on his own yet? Must train him ah. My girl very poor crawler. She uses her face to push herself forward *fainted*. My girl also scratches her face and eyes, most of the time is when sleepy but now not happy she also scratches. Seems like she knows when she scratches her face we will stop her. She likes to clap to get our attention, very smart.
 
sharing a pretty gd deal. I bought the leapfrog spin and sing alphabet zoo at taka fair yesterday for $24.90. Think original price was like 40+ or something. I think my girls have more fun with it than my boy

my baby lazy la. ask him sit he wan stand. let him stand he wan jump. grrs. put him sit he purposely fall. i believe he can sit. he sit before himself. but now he purposely dun sit. -_- purposely lie down n show us, grrs

haha. my boy oso like to clap, but no sound. so he not fascinated
 
Eunice,
Oh city square mall is a bb friendly mall. Has 2 levels with nursing room. Hmm there are a few places that is quite spacious. Like one oli cafe, japanes italian restaurant at b2, cant recall name, royal cafe the one that sells pasteries.

Michelle,
My girl also everytime want to stand up when I try to put her down especially when I want to change her diapers.

BB,
Sophie also likes to scratch her ears. I though could be itchy so will use cotton tip dab w olive oil to clean. She will keep still when I clean but later will still scratch. Also don't know what's bothering her.
 
Eunice,

So sorry to be troublesome..heehee
But I would prefer CitySquare Mall over Tanglin.
Ive been there and agree with Joia that its pretty bb friendly. Didnt try out the cafes there as we just had a quick dinner at foodcourt previously.

Lets see which venue most are ok with bah...
 
Pegsfur,

How about swimming at the big swimming pool @ Sengkang ?
But if its a weekday, might be difficult for me....weekend is out for you right ?
 
need some help..

sam has aws enjoyed his baths. recently he's started to protest when i lift him out too quickly.

hoever we've been at mil's on thu n fri coz of my sprained wrist. on thu, mil insisted on bathing him rather than wait for hubs to get back from work to do so. she din follow my usual way of washing his face with cotton balls on the bed, b4 the bath proper. she din put him into the bath the same way i do either... etc etc.. basically sam just started crying in the bath, so mil quickly washed washed a bit then lifted him out. he was crying quite pitifully.

on fri evening, i washed his face on the bed, then hubs took over to bathe him. he also cried once he went into the water.

on sat, we did the same thing but in my own home, n he started crying too.

it seems that he's developed some sort of phobia. everytime we bring him into the bathroom, he gets nervous n wants to burst into tears. we brought the bathtub out into the living rm, put some toys inside, n he'd play a while. but strt getting teary when we try to put him in, even tho he was fully dressed n there's no water in the tub.

what cud have happened? he got a fright by mil? how to overcome this phobia? he hasn't bathed properly for 3 days n din even wash tdy!
 
<font color="#fd79a7">Jul

It sound really odd why sam is crying...even when you mentioned that he is fully clothed and no water in the tub! *puzzled. Have you actually seen how your MIL bath him? Maybe its the handling? Haf you tried a small piece of towel on his chest before getting him into the water? Or you can try to carry him in cradle style and wet him with the cloth on his chest and say some assuring words to him before putting him into the tub? How about not placing him in the tub and fill the tub with water and just tapping on the water?

What's your bath ritual like?

During my confinement period..my bb gal screamed and cry during her bathing time.. and I suspect my confinement lady made her kneel down (bend on her knees) and wash her back. She got 'scared' or phobia I think.

Now she truly enjoy her bathing. My bath ritual will be saying 'Pom Pom', then I wear my 'bib'(I used a piece of nappy and tie around my neck) and wrap her up when she is done bathing. Step into the bathroom and look at her in the mirror..and say YAY! BATHING TIME! and her legs kicks like mad. She taps alot in the water and recently, I introduce a 'waterfall' style. (Showerhead runs for a short while and make sure water does not splash on her head or eyes) and she starts to use her tiny hands to 'collect' water.

Keep us updated yay!

Avocados

When I was in Australia back then, the avocados I ate always turns darker or black when ripe (turns really fast). When I get the Australian avocados in Singapore, they take a longer time to ripe and don't really turn that black and yet its firm and slighty soft when i press it. My experience is that there is a 'raw' veggie taste whenever its firm. And when I press it and its soft, the raw veggie taste is gone.
 
olive oil
any of you introduced olive oil to your baby's diet already? I feel so sian to make porridge everyday and steam/boil fruits snd veges only... guess baby eat till sianz also leh.. can fry some veges with olive oil?
 
caden's fever: thank for all mummies for the great concern. Yes i am very exhausted i wake up every hour since friday to monitor his temp. his temp fluctuate very fast like shares - one min he is 36.8 so happy to see that the next moment he is 38.6. its very stressful. Today his temp quite stable and hope he can maintain the normal temp

Mashy, the avocado I bought recently is still green whether its hard or soft so I just feed when its soft. Should be considered ripe liao since can scrap.
