happy.gif
*envy*
sure want to join u all next time

my son health yo yo ing for the past two weeks.
First was LS then was high fever then I thought he was all well for two days. He then have to catch a cough n cold. From dunno where seriously.. Cos he hasn't been out of ah ma house..
sad.gif

sigh n my parents are jus attributing this to 7th month n for me bringing him to Bali for holiday
sad.gif

watching over him over nights.. Sleepless cos he is coughing quite badly. A lot of phlegm n mucus n blocked nose at times
do u all have any suggestions on how to help him recover faster??
PD gave him cough n flu syrup already. I k tryin not to give him the diarrhoea medicine anymore cos he is overloaded w medicine!
Shld he sleep in air con or no air con?
I have osim humidifier which i switch on when in aircon room.
Er I bought the olbas oil to let him inhale.
any other remedies pls? Help cos I think he lost over 1 kg from this bout of viruses
sad.gif

how to get the darn phlegm out??!
 


vodkarib > coughs do take awhile to wear off in babies...try keeping him hydrated with sips of boiled water every now and then. if it's blocked nose, you could try taking a hot shower on your own first..and when the bathroom is steamed up...scatter a few drops of olbas on the steamy bathroom floor and bring in a stool - sit there with your babe for around 5mins..that should really help ease the congestion in his airways. w/o aircon works..and elevating his chest/head area when he sleeps might make him feel better. there's also a simple massage that you can do for his sinus region to help relieve it..unfortunately, hard for me to describe here how to do it. but u can try looking it up online..all the best and hope he recovers soon.
 
Happyhippo , pinkmie n xoxo : thanks, hope josh can recover well n join rochester house tom

Tien, astro : took ur advise, bought the soda biscuit n worm/snake/gummy bear for me to prevent the ms. Hope it will makes me feel better
 
Thks xoxo. Now takin a breather in my room away from thE in laws. I already told them my son is sick and won't be visiting them this wkend. Yet they insist on comin to take a look at him today. They have been here since 4 pm and it's obvious that boy needs his sleep ( which is the most impt thing now) but they keep distracting him with tv toys and refusig to let me bring him in the room to drink his milk and sleep. And goondu son knowing there is company at home.. Also rfuse to nap. Am so angry and upset and I can't do anything abt it. And they keep saying it's cold don't on the fan etc. Pls la!! My son has a blocked nose and u dont want any ventilation in the house??? Crazy ils. Becos of this his fever comin back slightly. So I attempted to sponge him jus now.. And they jus keep fussin over him and say he is cold. Its damn irritating. I m jus tryin to keep my cool.stupid hubby somemore ask me go and buy dinner with him and leave the son with the ils. The ils also keep askin me to go with my hubby.Whatever he is thinking. He think I will be so crazy to leave boy with them? They will prob change him into long sleeve and suffocate him with no ventilation. I was so angry I jus said "no" to him and said I want to take a bath.
 
Vodkarib: think we are not going to be the only ones with stories about 'Misadventures with ILs' this weekend. I also had one just now. Not quite in the mood to talk abt it. Anyway the part in leaving the bubs with them is their fave! My FIL, without fail, will suggest that we leave Kay to stay with them over weekend, while we go take a break or whatsoever. Best is this holiday, he already plan for us. He wants us to go staycation and leave her with them. Reason being, my MIL misses her! I was like, WTH! You wish! Like I won't miss my own daughter!
 
angelina: hope that wld keep your MS under control..

playdate @ rochester House
might not be going because bally just recovered his cold.. but when he gets excited.. his nose starts dripping again.. and he 'pants'.. sometimes cough coz choke on his saliva/nasal back flow

anyhow, the date has been confirmed. Info on google group under one of the discussions..
please quote my name (not my nick) to the staff.. the person who i corresponded with is Claire.. so maybe just said that I have arranged a session with my friends and you are one of them.. will entitled u to the rate that she has offered me.. and also some discount on the food and beverage..

enjoy yourselves..

mie > aiyoh..under siege huh? can't wait to see u back in action!
 
mie: i try.. but oct my term starts again too.. :p

let;s do a vote of interest here first?

Yo! Crazy nite! Kay is refusing sleep. I'm so having migraine that my mum has to step in to coax her to sleep. Can't help but to blame the afternoon spent with ILs. Super bias already!!

Blessed: think u read my msg wrongly. My FIL wants me to go vacation without the baby cos he wants us to leave the baby with them! Dun think it's yucky to travel with baby! Will be yucky to travel with FIL!

Astro: Hope Bally feels better enough for us to see u guys tml!!!

And kindermusik I want!!!! Hb n I are sort of convinced that Kay is not a gym person. So, gonna to shop for more
Music based classes! Actually hor, I'm looking at 1st sept! Mie, still too early for u right? Cos hb will also b on hol that day.

Erm astro, your miser's comment a bit choy choy choy lor!!! *touchwood*

Mie: I slow.. U are looking for after 15th sept! Haiyo that one after sept break, if my hb cannot go I sure die from all the carrying n dancing!

*paging candy_white* the kindermusik classes are really tough for parents is it? U think a preggy woman will be able to handle it?
 
Astro : the soda biscuit is actually not bad. I ate few already,maybe because I'm hungry
happy.gif

N agreed with the flu bug, don't know what wrong with this flu bug nowadays. Seems like lots babies keep having them one after another. Kinda happy that josh was actually never fell sick since we discovered his asthma but now he's mucus is dripping like crazy. Not worth it to bring him out n expose to others. Just keep him warm n healthy is the most important

Xoxo : I see how first tom okay. I need to make sure that josh is recover completely before I let him step out of the house. Must be responsible in this situation. Flu bus is everywhere n the sudden change of weather definitely make it worse

I watched cna last night on how to treat ur kids asthma. Just want to share with others : avoid carpets at all, clean ur sofa n cushion regularly, avoid moist temperature in the room try to keep it a bit dry, open the windows at night instead of using air con, hang ur blanket every single day, avoid hanging ur laundry (the half wet) near the kid, avoid cats n dogs, change bed sheet twice a week, clean all ur furniture from the dust,n try not to depend on the puff
That's a lot of stuff, but research shown that changing the environment of the house can really help them. So I'm applying that to my house now. Too bad I love dog though, so will never ever have a chance to have them at all

Hope the information can help
happy.gif
 
angelina: good to hear that. i was told that the biscuit is bland.. and hence that wun aggravate MS while preventing the stomach from being empty (which also brings on the MS).. think plain bread also can .. rice.. things which are bland.. for a start..

talkign about allergy.. this bao's allergic Rhinitis (sensitive nose) is driving me nuts! i cannot figure out what he is allergic to.. and he is sick again. hence i need to cancel that skin prick which was arranged for.. half the time his nose is blocked.. and despite having enough rest, he has dark eye circles due to poor circulation around his nose.. and his speech is slurred and not clear!.. haiz.. dunno what to do with it..need to wait til he recover fully. then off his antihistamines for 7 days than can go do skin prick.. argh.. skin prick liao also dunno can trace cause or not.. sian..
 
astro > dust mites..something u can't see but they should be your prime suspect...?
sad.gif
keep me updated..really hope to see u..cos i've a surprise at rochester waiting! haiz..but no worries..can always save this "surprise" for another time.

angelina > hope josh recovers fast fast fast! and u must keep yourself healthy too!

Hi mummies gg to rochester today, Im sorry that I won't be able to join all of u as I don't feel well and I think Im running a temp. So I better stay away. Join you all the next round and enjoy!

Tien: In my opinion, the kindermusik classes aren't tough but I wouldn't suggest a preggy to attend. There will be movements like standing, squatting, sitting, then getting up again, swaying then going round and round at a spot. It might be tough if u have a bb who can't stop wriggling in your arms. If u r keen, then it's better to ask your hb to go in with Kay. But I notice that the men who go in, my hb incl, all don't want to sing along and they are expressionless! U only hear the women's voices. My hb likes it thou... Maybe paisah for men to sing along but at home, he knows how to repeat and sing those songs much better than me!

Those interested for Sun classes trial, u may want to join me if you want. Mine is at 2pm at Tanglin Mall. The class is not full yet and the babies attending are almost the same age (maybe 1-2 mths diff). There's only 1 boy who is 14mths and he's the only one who walks very well alr. The programme currently suitable for our babies now is called Village (till 18 mths). 8 semesters in a year. 8 sessions per semester. The current semester is left with only 2 more sessions, ending 5 Sept. Prev tr was a preggy and just stopped to go for maternity leave. She's very good. Yesterday this new tr came... More new movements.

http://kindermusik.com.sg/our-curricula-village.html
 
tien,
yah i think you better don't carry Kay so much. cos pregger not supposed to carry heavy weight. Kay is probably close to 9kg already right?
totally agree on choosing the one that Kay likes. every baby is different. in fact, Min really likes music too. so i'm not sure if i should bring her to kindermusik too. cos i really dont wanna over do it. one class is enough. if GUG is good, i think 2 is max. anyhow, do find out what she likes. cos that's what i did with her playgroups. i brought her to all the schools and she really liked learning vision. ...
 
Oops! *siam* Astro and Xoxo! Hee...this preggy still thinks she not preggy lah..what to do.

Astro: Kay has eye bags! And permanent dark circle because of veins (inherited from her mum). I think it's the air these days. Giving those with sensitive noses problems.

Candy_White: Thanks for the info! Sigh...it's a pity! I would enjoy all the singing and dancing! Maybe I will just try for the trial class =P Think my hb shld be fine..just that he is not as familiar with the nursery rhymes. Only thing is, my hb's schedule is one super busy one that's hard to fit things in.
 
Hippo: I think Kay is probably more than 9 kg! Ya I know I am not supposed to carry heavy weight...but this woman of mine can just cling to me like a monkey to a tree! Maybe should demonstrate later if she's in that whiny mood.

Yep! I am also shopping for just 1 class. Mainly becos of a busy hb. So, will be deciding bet GUG or Kindermusik. Although, both quite different, I must say. Hahah Gym is certainly out! After AAR (After Action Review) with hb yesterday, we have decided that she is like me! Hahahah...lazy bum!
 
vodkarib: hope that your boy will recover soon..

Hippo: You shldnt call Min a monkey lah! She too pretty to be one...got other cutie animals that have characteristics of a Monday? Squirrels? Chipmunks?
 
Tien:patpat dun get angry.Haiz r u expecting a prince or princess?Ignore them.I always just tell my hb go handle and since they refused to take care of M since borned then i dont need them to take care now as well:p very mean hor but its true ma,alwasy said fun to play with ,gd to take care we can manage.Now when bring M over, i dont even take care of him, let them do it then they know its tiring n not enjoyable

hippo/tien: same here, M is gorilla too, always step till very painful, its like treating us as a stairs.nowM is like using all those bolsters,pillow n softtoy as support n tried climbing out of his cot.

To all babies feeling under the weather, i hope all gets well soon! including my Richelle too! I can sense the cough and flu bug in her, just hoping it can be suppressed by her own immunity, else if it gets full-blown, i think i'm in for another round of PD visits and sleepless nights. (**keeps fingers crossed!**)

Those going for the Rochester playhouse date today, have fun and take more photos to share ya! I’m always amazed at u all for being able to be so independent to bring the bubs out alone for so many different adventures! Guess I’m just lousy at it, so my girl has been confined to home most of the time, feel sad for her cos I think babies will all prefer to explore the world outside. Haiz, let me try, I hope I can join in the next playdate soon, with or without my hubby!
happy.gif


Count me in for the Kindermusik please! Richelle always sway to music, particularly “Wai Men Ti” – u girls know the 7pm Taiwan drama serial! OMG, she’s so going to be a “Hokkien Ah Huay” in future! Haha! Oh perhaps to make it seem better, she also will dance to Happy Birthday song… so at least its not so bad… Hehe…

Come on man, the last my bb saw them was.... Cny? Of cos dunno who they are! Of cos will scare n of cos now dun let pple carry la!

We left 630 reason dun wanna stay too late. Mil bug mouth say ya ya the bb slp at 8pm everyday lo. Everyone is atonish and ask how come slp so early one??? Mil replied: cos the mommy put childcare lo. He everyday gotta wake up very early lo.... And then she was also broadcasting my bb was hospitalized few Wks ago bcos of what blah blah.
