hi gals

michelle
so your bb had fever before this ah? Ya, then it makes sense, it's viral fever. My boy had diarrhoea too when he was on klacid. After that, we never give him that as antibiotics. There're several to use but the most commonly used is still augmentin. Actually, since it's viral fever, there's no need for antibiotics. Antibiotics will not help in viral. For the diarrhoea, give probiotics. It helps. For the diet, i usually give a more blend diet when having diarrhoea, means no meat (harder to digest), no spinach. Carrots are ok.

RE: MIL
wanna complain abt my MIL again. Last night, the maid wasn't at home, so my MIL had to cook. Then just before dinner, she declared that my gal will eat the table food with the rest of us, oyster sauce, ketchup and everything. When we said no table food for her now, she said, ok, then how about soup? Guess what, it was herbal soup. Luckily i said no. When i asked her what herbs are inside coz some herbs babies can't take before 1 yr old. She said normal stuff lor. It was only at dinner time that she revealed how 'expensive' her soup was and it included ginseng! Fuming! Anyway, made her thaw some fish immediately and cut some cabbage and steam. Then she asked, 'no salt? then so bland how to eat.' Aiyoh, i thought we've been through this so many times already and she's still at it. She should have just called us that the maid is not there and we should prepare my gal's dinner. I wonder what goes into my gal's dinner every week. But i think she let the maid decide what to cook already. The dinner that she made last night tasted so bad.

One more thing. My uncontrollable nephew kicked my gal's butt last night coz wanna snatch a toy from her.

I really wanted to slap him on the spot. My FIL can still excuse him say it was an accident, coz he wanted to get onto the toy car which my gal was playing with.
 


bbja,
yup saw that post but hor just to travel down specially to get the physiogel not very worth(petrol expensive)...

but i know of a place that sell physiogel AI cream abit cheaper than my pd and KKH...
 
Michelle,
My boy is also taking the same probiotics (same as babyS's) PD said feed food as normal.

Mashy,
Wah..ur mil is really too much. Good thing u are firm abt wat u feed ur gal. Sometimes i really dun understand why old people cannot get it into their head to respect our views.
Did u scold ur nephew? Must tell him off man..then he know ur girl has got "backing" and will not dare to bully her. Hee sound so gangsterly.
 
mashy: haiyo.. kicking butt is not an accident lor. go kick ur MIL or FIL backside and say "oops.. sorry, accident." and see if they can accept it or not.
 
Hi BabyS,
My boy used to blow food out for fun..kenna scolded then no longer does it. I think it is like a fun game to them.
 
Diarrhoea

For diarrhoea, just apply the BRAT rule.

B= banana
R=Rice water
A=apple or apple sauce
T= toast

Probiotics can be found in bananas too. I got the probiotics and prebiotics from iherb and can also get from GNC as a regular supplement for bb above 6 months.
 
Mashy,

When i read your story about MIL, i was thinking about my story too which is slightly similar as yours! We were out to a restaurant with MIL and her relative. When the foods were served, as usual my bb will mumbled 'mum mum'.
As i did not pack her biscuit, i'll usually gave my gal white rice. Guess what, mil's relative shared to us that last time she gave everything to her 5 daughters and nothing had happened. she said can give moderate but not too much...blah..blah.
MIL and SIL agreed to it and said we should give my gal some adult food so that when she grows up, she will not be picky on food. They were in this topic for like almost 20min, and I don understand why can't they just move on to other topics.
They can even point at the food and said 'this one also cannot ah'. When hubby and i said 'no', they still replied 'ah, also cannot? poor baby..so pityful". SIL said something, i was so frustrated and i said 'next time when you have a bb, you will understand.
That kept her mouth shut but i think i was quite rude to say that. She and her husband had been trying for bb a few months. do i sound bad? hmm..
 
mashy, mybe you should prepare food weekly for your gal while visiting your pils. I do that when I brought Kai to my pils place when he was younger and even now Kai hardly like to eat there. I will do the same for Ray when we are back for good, mil used msg and lots of salt and mostly fried food.

As for kicking of butt, get your boy to kick your nephew back and said it is an accident see your pils reactions.
 
BabyS,
hahah my bb enjoy blowing food out lo..

Sweetmama,
sumtime my MIL will also ask can gave this or tt i say no... esp got salt n oil if above 1 YO i dun mind let him try abit but not now lo...

Mashy,
i agree maybe can cook ur food n bring over?
but is the boi still small? i tink when kid play together hard to avoid? like my boi sumtime will attack my BIL gal also but of cos we will scold him la.. or pull him back..
 
mashy> but the pd give argumentin based on his swab test results. other than fever he got flu n lung infection before tat. so argumentin is more for his lung infection

babys> but apple alot of fibre, wun diarrhoea more? i give yogurt wor. tot it'll help to balance the stomach. =x

pjpj> i cant remember which prebiotics i was given. it's at hm

pris> ok. i go buy apple juice for him later than
 
Ya think I should cook my own food next time.

My nephew is 2.5years now. Totally uncontrollable and reckless. I suspect he has sensory proc disorder or ADHD. But his parents always have excuses for his behaviour. Like when he strangled his classmates in sch, his parents said coz he's easily excited. When I advised them to start teaching him how to handle a baby coz my sil is preg now, they wanted him to practise with my gal! I dun care if he strangles her bb or sit on her coz he's excited, that's their prob but dun mess with my gal.
 
michelle,
when my baby hving diarrhea i give him isomil, he was given Lactobacillus too just eat for 4 days. so now i give him steam puree apple daily. my bb dun like apple juice. steam puree apple he can eat whole apple.
 
mashy
wah! your nephew is at the "terrible two" stage.

My younger nephew and my boy can fight with him already!
Just two days ago, they were snatching over 1 toy and my boy refuse to let go... so his cousin push him and my boy knocked his head against the chair.
my nephew knew immediately that he will be in trouble when my boy started crying... so push that toy back into my boys hands.

actually I'm ok with children playing and fighting. usually will just watch and make sure they dont do anything dangerous. even if i scold, both will get it. just to be fair.

one thing lah... its my own sister's son lah, if nephew in-law then cannot
 
mashy/cloudme> ops. i tot yogurt is good. anyway he finished his last one liaos. so no more yogurt in the near future

april> but i dun wanna start him on FM anytime soon leh. my boy likes apple juice. even apple can eat fresh one. so i shall juz give him apple porridge tonite
 
sweetmama
my PIL also always ask me why cannot give my boy eat this, why cannot eat that! last time my husband also eat mah...
my standard answer to my mil "wah heng ah... you never poison your son last time!"

Actually our SIL asking for it lah... if she never so KPO add comments about the food then wont kena already mah.

My SIL had a miscarriage beginning of this year and I'm very careful not to mention or discuss anything about baby during dinner last night. But its her own mum who mention and tell her to eat while she can, if not next time have baby, no time to eat already!
aiyo... so insensative!
 
hahaha,mummies. thanks for your support and comforting words. i thought i was v bad to reply that to SIL. really 'tak boleh tahan' the in law side. Plus a little bit of my bb's crying, they run to her like going to pick up the gold that is dropped from the heaven.

worst still, MIL went to china... she bought me some ugly clothes but i thought it was nice of her to buy me the clothes. who knows, when i went to to the kitchen, she told my husband that her daughter said the clothes are not nice and don want the clothes, so she gave it to me.
Heartache right???
 
kiki: haha... we got opposite problems.

actually, unless diarrhoea is accompanied by vomitting, there is no need to stop their usual foods (unless its a food allergy..)

apples are part of the BRAT diet, recommended to stop diarrhoea. Like the one that Pris mentioned.

I give apples when she has diarrhoea and pears when she has constipation..

Should give starchy stufff too like rice and potatoes.

and yoghurt is good cos it has pro biotics inside. Like when adults have diarrhoea, drs advise to drink yakult/ vitagen, cos it has pro biotics.
 
bahaha...babys> i like the 'kick the in-laws' butt n say it's accident' idea!! LOL.

kiki> i oso agree abt yur statement saying dat somehow it oso depend on the kid is our own siblings' kid or in-laws' side.


last evng at my IL's plc.. i tink at some point i managed to make my MIL pissed.. BAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA~ so happy!!
 
babyS, i'm learning something new from u. i didn't know that yogurt helps to ease the diarrhea. oh yes, forgot to share another thing. i've posted about my bb had a diarrhea with blood in it. they sent her stool for a lab test.

I called them last week and then another doctor told me to stop the antibiotic as it does not benefit my bb and it does not attack to the bacteria that she was having.

Oh man, i was so angry. they should have called me earlier instead of me calling them. lucky i called, else my bb will be having a not-suppose-to have antibiotic.
 
hi Jsut now I gp watson I see physiogel one hv AI one dun hv anyone know what the different har ? ( I only know the price is different )

I see the one without AI cream is 41.25 waaa watson so expensive I see CGH only 31.24.
 
mashy,
agreed with piggy and pris, think you prepared your own food for your child and bring to MIL to save all the headaches. Else your MIL will try funny patterns every week you will "vomit blood"

I informed my MIL on certain ways I do/handle my kids food/things. But I dunno she forgetful or trying to be funny, always ask why? or try to repeat the things I tell her not to...
 
babyS,
but yacult is culture milk rite? nt sure abt yogurt thou..

Celine,
my mIL do follow my way but some time u know bb when they saw we eat their mouth will behave as if they wan to eat.. when my IL saw tt will say aiyo so poor thing can only watch us eat n will ask me wan feed him some adult food anot .. i was like come on la bb r all like tt mah n he jus had his dinner leh..
 
Yakult is using skim fm to make one by add the healthy bacteria in it. But it is not meant for bb and for children, can only take like 1/2 bottle.
 
piggy,
think MIL tends to try to be funny... my one will asked "huh, why cannot eat? got 5 teeth already, can eat right? ya ya got 5 teeth can eat fried chicken already hah?! :p
 
piggy: yoghurt is sorta like cultured milk..

that yoghurt for babies, it also says it has probiotics inside.. so good for our babies, esp since they are crawling around, putting everything into their mouth... they need the good bacteria man, for all the bad bacteria they are putting in..

talking about this makes me wanna go drink my vitagen in the fridge. haha..

oh wanna ask, if i am going to KL via plane and i wanna decan the milk powder and cereal into my playtex bags, will be questioned/ stopped or not? Or must i leave it in the can?

cos i dont wanna bring whole cans leh, take up space. And plus i got a opened box of playtex liners, so someone advise say i can use it to store the powder and bring overseas. use liao throw.
 
Thanks to piggy's recommendation, finally got my oto e-lux massage pad
happy.gif
Used it last nite b4 i slept and really, all the aches and stiffness on the whole back is relieved! But i think i abit ambitious, press against the pad too strongly, think i kena some blue blacks on my back .. hahaha .... but it's worth it

PILs
I dun understand why our words can't get into their heads. Explain & explain 1658 times le, still asking the same question. Why do our mothers get it but not our mothers-in-law?

cranky baby
Mmm .. ovann has been cranky & super gluey to me yesterday. Everything also want me, and can't leave him for even a sec. Hubby was around to jaga him but he cried for me the moment he noticed i'm not around. Even when he just woke up, he'll cry & want me to carry. He won't stop crying if hubby carry him. Wonder if it's it's the start of another phase, or becos i was with him practically every minute for the past 3 days (due to me dun want mil to play with him too much) that he has gotten use to this routine?
 
Pegsfur,

Kyler also lately if he saw me he will wan me to carry him even thou he was havin a fun time with HB but the moment he saw me he will make noise wan me to carry him.. dunno y..

pegs: ovanna sticky to u also good in a way lah... let ur MIL see he doesnt want her and only wants u.. but u'll have to sacrifice and will be really tired lor..
 
Bobo: shayna doesnt like cold stuff.. So i left the yoghurt on the counter till room temperature then give.
