Pegsfur

We are already neighbours !!
Im staying in Punggol now too, with my in laws...so will be moving from one part of punggol to another...hahaha..
 


jul,
Ya, gonna stop at 1 ... but sometimes feel so contradicting, esp when i saw the double lines on the opk .. haha .. i think it's a habit bah, been testing & trying previously until i decided not to go on anymore. Subconciously the mind will get excited when seeing the double lines!

dolce,
Ooh .. din realise u are already at punggol. Which part of punggol are yr inlaws staying at?
 
hey mummies...can ask abt pneu jab...my son took the new vaccine, his 3rd jab. PD says got to take another booster in 2months time....

but my other fren said that hers took the new one too at 12mth, but PD didn't say need to take another booster leh....how come?

so what's the usual case? need 2 jabs for the new pneum jab?
 
Celine: yeah monitoring it.. Dr says leave it alone since it isnt increasing in size or pain.

Jul, hahah! Ur description ah, so farnie!!

Pegs, we've been giving shayna rice with side for a while liao, occasionally got soup. And i agree with u. Running out of ideas liao.
 
Bb, i disagree with what ur gynaes nurse said. It is not a
Standard practice to do that. It is not even a practice lor. Giving more milk powder adds more stress onto the kidney eventually leading to kidney failure.
 
gals, like to get some feedback on MMR & MMRV.

My PD actually told me to take MMRV cos it's cheaper & jz one jab instead of 2 but i worry the jab too strong & jovia will develop fever. so far she nv get fever after jab in the past.

Then this sat is her 1st lesson in GUG but i will b bringing her to take MMR in the mrng worry she will b unwell for the class later...but dunno how long can i delay the jab cos the class jz started gng to last another 2 more mths.
 
Donkeymami, Isaac took the combined jab, but he didn't get fever.

Jenims depends on when was the first penumo jab. If the first jab was before 6 months old, total number of jabs requirerd is 4. If the kid took first jab after 1 yr old, number of jabs required is 2. Isaac only needed two jabs as I sent him when he turned one.
 
donkeymami, which GUG u going? do let me know how's the classes. my boy v sensitive dun like go new places esp if confine in a room , will cry...also see teacher will cry...n dun want us to talk to strangers, will also cry...
not sure any of u have same experience? then how to go such classes? i thinking of going too in mar or later.

my fren took before 6m also same like me, 3 jabs by 1yr...but my PD say new vaccine so need another one in 2 m time...
no one else of u had that??
 
jeni

According to the Health Promotion Board, it's 3 jabs : 3 mths, 5 mths & 1-2 yrs leh. I dunno abt this new vaccine

I'm bringing Sam for a trial at Kindermusik this Sunday. If he likes it, I plan to put him there eevry Sun for 8 weeks. It's just a 1h thing once a week to let him play-play with other kids, & hopefully learn something of discipline & have some fun heehee

He hasn't attended any classes before this.

donkeymami

There's 5-in-1 booster at 18 mths right? So you must plan not to have MMR/V clash with the booster. I think I'll let Sam take MMR only.
 
babys

I think that's why they changed to the pre-mixed FM - so that the nurses can't do any hanky panky behind the scenes. Guess that nurse worked in the hospital in the "old days" when they really do funny stuff so that the babies will sleep longer & not disturb them during the night.

I also can't believe that this happens now & that it's 'authorised' by the hospital authorities

pegsfur

Hmm I'm still thinking myself.. 1 o2 2.. 1 or 2.. 1 or 2..
 
Jul,

kindermusik got very long waiting list leh.. i sent shayna for a trial quite a while ago (PJPJ, when did we attend ah?) up till now i still on waiitng list..
 
mich, thanks for ur comment.

jeni, so far my girl she quite njoyed during the trial in the past. i'm gng the one in novena. prolly u can bring her for a trial before u sign up the class.

jul, jovia 17mths now so i let her take the MMRV nxt time take the 5-in-1. I chk wif PD before so long one mth gap it's fine.
 
babys

Really? They actually called me up to ask me if I was interested in starting the new term on 9 Jan. I called them some time in Oct or Nov. My class is 10am on Sun morning. Think you can't take Sun am coz of church right?

For me, Sam's already up by 7am, so no issue abt the early timing. In fact, the earlier the better coz he'll wanna nap at ard 11am.

donkeymami

Oh must have 1 mth gap ah? That means I gotta let Sam take 18mth booster after CNY coz his MMR is in mid-Jan. Quite late lah coz I was waiting for Hubs to get home.
 
donkeymani
went to the PD yesterday for zac's jabs - was told need to have minimum 6 weeks gap, so got to delay his going to childcare.

originally my plan was to complete his jabs by 1st week Feb, then cc start 14 feb, now cc will delay till 1st march.
 
babys, the nurse taught all the mommies having problem with babies waking up to drink milk many times in the night.

Bintan Trip. If you are staying at Bintan Lagoon villa, they provide a fully equipped kitchen a standard size fridge. I brought raw fish, pork, vegetable, ... sealed tightly in the ice box. I used the small ice box I got from the goat farm when I bought the goat milk. I bought a mini slow cooker. So small like a mug which my helper loves it so much that now she uses that to cook Lindy's meals. Oh, bring the beach toys. Each villa is provided with a buggy so you can drive baby out to the beach n park/lock your buggy right in front of you. Buffet breakfast, they hv plain porridge, baby can eat plain porridge with eggs n fish n fruit. If baby first night cant sleep (like my girl, she insisted to wear her shoes n signal us to bring her home, cried for 2 hrs), take baby for a buggy ride. My baby slept every time she was on the buggy.

Baby MMRV jab.
I intended to give my baby MMR first but when we saw the PD, he convinced me on MMRV. So Lindy took the MMRV n another booster jab 13-valent. Lindy had slight fever n cough on that injection day but PD said since we were going to Bintan, better jab her first. Strange, after the jabs, her fever gone, cough also gone.
 
btw bb sleeping thru,
now zac sleeps with the helper and he still wakes up twice in the night for milk. how to wean off habit?

we tried water, diluted milk, pacifier, heavier dinner, extra milk at 10pm before his bedtime, wake him up 1hr earlier his expected 2am feed, all didn't work.

the only thing that works is if he's too tired, then he sleeps thru.
 
babymaking

You didn't ask the PD abt Zac's waking in the nite? I think Pris mentioned that we shd ask the PD if our babes hadn't started sleeping through at 6 months
 
ha jul,
never thought to ask PD leh. anyone going to PD soon can help ask?

btw zac's 84cm and 12.5kg now...not that big but he looks big leh.
 
babymaking, zac is rather big n heavy for a 17m. no meh??? hehe...me also tried give more milk, porridge at 8pm, water (tried once only)...also all don't work....was zac on breastfeeding too at night time??
how to know if too tired?? when mine nap once only and wake up at 2pm..he can last til like 9-10pm at night then sleep..but sometimes 8pm already sleep...but the night waking still happens the same timing...basically 3hrly from the time he first fall asleep leh.

so anyone took the pneu jab at 2m n 6m, then 1yr? did PD recommend another additional dose then after the 1yr jab? i.e. 4 jabs?

i call the nurse, she say mostly will have 3 dose only leh...but if took early like 2m, then maybe need another dose, but ask me to ask doctor for advice again lor...so strange, cos that time suppose to take 4, then PD said MOH issued advise to only 3..so will take 3 only..then don't know why, after taking the new 13virus vaccine for pneu, he said need another one in 2 mths time...
 
babymaking

That's BIG

Think Sam's only 80cm & 11.5kg? I think.. I never bother to measure his weight or height

I try to ask my PD in 2 weeks' time for Sam's MMR if nobody else has managed to ask before that
 
jeni
PD didn't comment much about his ht and wt when i brought up that zac looks big compared to his counterparts.

i think some of the kids here are taller too!

zac's on FM all along. He's usually too tired when he had a afternoon of water and sun at the waterpark. normal running, playing around in playground doesn't have the same effect.
 
Wow, babymaking, your zac is big! I think it's the 2 night milk feeds. Perhaps u should just let him go cold turkey. Let him cry for a few nights and dun give him any milk. Looks like it's a habit.
 
errrrh.. my girls oso about 12.7kg (but i think drop to 12.5kg now after another round of 'after-park-visit-fever'!!! the last time they had their height measured towards end of nov..(22/23 nov?).. they were abt 80.5cm niah. i tot they r short! guess Shayna is abt 85cm already?
 
mashy
tried the cold turkey, he cries only louder and louder and louder. with big tears, until choking type. sighs.

now the only thing to keep his weight off is to make him more active in the day time. nowadays we try to make him walk a lot!
 
babymaking, (sorry i cant rmbr)..but does zac look..errh...chubby kind? prolly juz dat his bone mass heavier or smting?

but.. letting him walk ard is good la.. hehehe~


my girls definitely doesnt look fat or chubby la.. i tink they r just fit. i like to tink that their weight cms frm flesh (or muscle) or bone mass??

aiya.. nw..im really worried they will lose even more weight aft they start sch next mth.

btw.. we tried many means n ways too.. my girls oso still waking up for milk........... typical time nw is 3-4am. if they're not dat tired, slept early.. they might hv another round abt 1ish-am too.
 
jul: i went to call kindermusik.. they said they were about to call me today! and also cos i requested to join 'cockledooamoo'.. it is the one starting this term.. but i starting 2 weeks later only (6 lessons) cos shayna still having/ recovering from viral fever and next week she has to be a flower girl at a wedding.. so start the week after that..

BB: when did lindy take the MMRV? cos i remember b4 the PD jab shayna, he asked if i was pregnant or intending to get pregnant.. (previously when i asked GP about it, he also ask me the same thing)..
 
Babys, err.. Lindy took the jab on 13 Nov 2010. her 15th month birthday. PD didnt ask me about pregnant or intending to pregnant leh. Some more Lindy has fake chicken pox around beginning of Dec'10, remember? Now ok liao. Maybe you didnt hv chicken pox before so doctor ask?
 
Morning mummies,
north area mummies ::
have u all already choose the CC for the little one?where and when?(18 mos? 24 mos?)
I am looking at 1 at sembawang area to put Regan there when he turn 24 mos, but full le... we r in the 4th waiting list
sad.gif
 
oh.. i tink my girls took the MMR (without chicken pox) the other time.. but then oso, hb brought them there.. so ya.. i duno..nobody asked me anything. duh~
 
regg.. 4th in waitlist shld b easy to get in.

i was 68th on this cc super near my plc.. oso managed to get a plc.. but..haha.. timing wrong! the offer start date is too early.
 
babys

Oh which class are u gog for? U're gog to sign up straightaway & not go for a trial?

I'm treating this Sun's class as a trial. If Sam likes it, I'll 'convert' it to the full 8 weeks. Else I'll just pay for the trial & think of something else to go for.
 
jul: i went for a trial last year liao.. then i was on waiting list until now. I think about 2 to 3 terms ago i went for trial liao. then i told them i also interested in farm animals one but they'll still call me up for other classes also..
 
fat bobo,
u mean u r 68th in the waiting list???
the CC we r looking at, has a vacant in feb(18mos) but we tot abit too early to send him there...hb n i prefer when he is 2YO...guess i better seach for another 1.

babys

Oh did u do the trial with the Aug babies? I think they were like 7 mths old then? I didn't sign up because Sam kept crying throughout the class!
 
hey regg
i finally got a cc place for zac at sembawang - that's the only one with vacancy that's within walking distance from sembawang mrt.

eh no vacancies can't be choosy, so just enrol him first. whatever the cc not teaching, got to top up with weekend enrichment, or weekday, will take him out of cc for one day to attend enrichment classes.

Babymaking,
Zac is big hehehe...Regan used to be top 3 leading in our group(since i preg till 3-4 mos) now he is only 82cm,11.5kg. he skip and run ard the house also still not sleeping thru at nite, u r not alone. i think i tried the most pattern in order to improve his sleep but still not successful,we tried :

1.let him cry - he cry till choke and vomit out the milk on bed!
2.changed his pillow.
3.changed his sleep wear type.
4.put humidifier.
5.adjust aircon with ceiling fans.
6.changed bed position.
7.delay sleeping hours(30mins later)
8.feed grape water.

I am doing all tis since he was 4th mos when he stop nite feed, he all the while going at 90% acording to the health book so i am sure he is full doing the day but recently i discover something, he is having some breathing dificultier... his nose shit is super dry and hard, so now i try wash his nose twice a day hope tis help. BTW, my boy only able to sleep well when he is sick on med especially the orangy med for running nose...but i cant be drug him to sleep just bcos want him to sleep thru if he is not sick lor...haiz.
