Hi mommies,
So many threads, read until eyes blur. Today, i went to rent a bumbo seat for my boy (just to try him in it before deciding whether we wanna buy). Put him into it and he looked quite funny in the seat. So me, my mom and helper started laughing. Not sure if our laughters frightened him or he's unhappy that we laughed at him or he's just not used to the bumbo, he immediately burst out crying!!! I quickly tried to take him out but his thighs got stuck.. wahahaha.. I really had a good laugh!
But he loves the fisher price peek-a-boo piano we rented! Kept hitting the keyboard with his feet but i was worried if he will hurt his ankles, so only let him played a while. Later, I put him back into the bumbo seat. This time, didn't laugh at him and he also didn't cry. But overall, he seems uncomfortable in it [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

Woah so many posts! This few days busy busy busy ! Now finally can rest abit.
LSnTYL (lsntyl)／ lamb: My bd is this coming Tues~ When is your?
LSnTYL ? 34 years old *SOB. But honestly I don't feel very much about it. Just another day for me.
Lamb: Hope your girl's fever ok liao. Yah , Arwen's PD also omit Rotarix.
A&A&A (2as): Your girl so chubby and so much expression!!! I like the one where she is sticking her touch out~
Arwen is definitely having all the pre-teething signs. She has drool rash over her chin and side of face, also loves to suck my cheeks , fingers and shoulder. Poor girl. I think must give her the teeth ring liao.
cheerieheart (cheerieheart): Hehehe I can imagine chubby babies being stuck in Bumbo. I din not even think about buying one for my girl, sure also stuck. I am looking for small u shape thick cushion tho.

wah so many LO went for vaccination this week...i brought LO for his 2nd dose of 6in1 on Fri too, he's having fever now... :<
but i didnt go for 2nd dose of rotarix..
the doc say she needs to confirm if whether can administer the 2nd dose of rotarix or not and ask me if i mind waiting till next mth for her to check and confirm okay before giving to LO...
i didnt follow up with the rotarix news after it was stopped previously, any mummies know what's the situation like now?
bryest> your doc say can go ahead with 2nd dose liao?
any other mummies encounter the residue problem I have with Enfalac A+? tried Xin's method but didnt work...
and LO used to poo once every 2-3 days when on Mamex, now on Enfalac poo twice a day, mummies using Enfalac, is it the same for your LO?
but i didnt go for 2nd dose of rotarix..

Hi Xin, Febie and mommies:
Would like to share with you info on some toy rental companies.
1. My Growing Toys (http://mygrowingtoys.com)
2. Rent-A-Toy (http://rent-a-toy.com)
3. Rent That Toy! (http://rent-that-toy.com)
4. The Toy Rental Club http://toyrentalclub.com) 5. Toys 4 Rent (http://toys4rent.sg)
6. Toy Rental World (http://toyrentalworld.com)
I got the bumbo from Toy Rental Club. H/e, they don't offer any free delivery, unlike many of the other companies (just spend a certain amount to get free delivery). But because the rest either don't have bumbo seat or only has 1 and is pertually rented out, so I went to the Toy Rental Club. This company even has car seats, strollers etc. but when I took a look today, they seem quite old.
Any mommies rented toys from other companies? Any feedback to share? [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

hi bryest, thanks for the info on rotarix. I think since they have okay-ed it, should be fine to take bah, the news was published on 14May which is the day I went to the clinic, so maybe my dr not sure yet at that time, so just wanted to double confirm.
With your info, think i will let LO take the 2nd dose next mth when he goes for his 2nd pneumococcal jab..

Cheerieheart - The peekaboo piano toy sounds interesting.... feel like getting it for the twins... but they already have so many toys! And I still have yet to fix up the jumperoo for them to try.
LSnTYL & Jessie -- Happy bday in advance!
LSnTYL -- Seriously, I thought you were much much younger! You look young!

Cindy,
what's pneumococcal jab? My boy just took the 5-in-1 jab and rotarix. Is the pneumococcal jab a compulsory or optional jab?
My boy is down with slight fever. His temp is 37.2 but his forehead and face quite hot. Just gave him a dose of his feve medicine. He's very cranky now, wanna sleep but refuse to sleep and keeps crying. He wanna feed but when I latch him, he didn't wanna drink. See already so heartpain. Sigh

bryest - For my gal, we checked the temps via the ear. According to the nurses here, as long as her temps are above 38 degrees, we shud administer fever meds. My gal's temps hit to 38.5 which was quite high. So we decided to give her the meds. If it's below 38 degrees and estovan's active and there's no loss of appetite, there's no need to administer paracetamol.
jessietan - Thanks, her temp went down already, thank goodness. But out of precaution, we had to skip lunch outside today. Planned to celebrate belated Mother's Day with my mom but mom just wanted to be cautious. My birthday? September ... so still far to go. Hhehehe. You're the 2nd person I know whose birthday is on 18th May. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
xin - Yeah, my gal managed to clear my duct this morning. I put her on football clutch position. Thank goodness. I dunno why this blocked lump keeps surfacing. Maybe I never massage my breasts enough. *sigh*

LSnTYL (lsntyl) －》 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Thanks girls for your wishes. Keke. So nice to have people wishing me! I mean I stay overseas for like 6 years liao and I dun have a proper celebration with my friends or family since then.
I do have to say I am blessed cos last Friday, some local friend actually bought me a cake with candle and all! Wah, I think I 10 years neber cut cake liao.
As for my wish, as I grow older, it is more like "please keep everyone I know and love healthy and safe". Think that is the most important things in life.
Lamb: Same lah, next will be her 6th months. Hate to bring her to the clinic. She is always very smiley and trusting and she gets that very astonished "why are you doing this to me???" look and wails everytime there is a jab. I felt like I am betraying her trust. Still, bo pian, need to do. I really pray there is a research going on that in the future, no more jabs for babies!!

Cy: rented the bumbo for $16.50 for 1 mth. Another plc was renting for $10 for 21 days if I din remember wrongly. But they only have 1 piece and it’s perpetually rented out!
Firipy: let Ayden try the piano again [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] sometimes babies are like that, don’t like something at first but later wil change their minds. Like the playgym we got for Kenan. He didn’t like it at first but I continued to put him on it and he starts to enjoy it when he learnt how to play some of the toys hanging on it.
Chameleon: can rent the piano and let them try [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] that’s the beauty of renting - you can test if your babies like a certain toy or not. Furthermore, renting means don’t have to worry about not having storage space later and the babies can always try out new things. If they like a toy, you can extend the rental or go buy it.

Mummies who keeps frozen bm,
i tried tasting the defrost bm that was I pumped and froze in Mar, and realised it has a funny taste. Is it normal? It tastes very differently from the bm I just pumped and those I kept in the fridge for less than 48 hours.
just wondering whether the frozen bm are spoilt and should throw away.

fatbabe : me was thinking of using cheaper diapers (velro) during the day as now using pampers active at nite....;p...Mmmm....yes, maybe will get a pack of mamy poko M but for the nite use only....;p
Btw is huggies dry comfort cutting small ?
I know huggies cutting rather small as I use b4 huggies S & find cutting rather small....;p
Btw, anyone tried pampers comfort ? Gd ? Thin ? How's the cutting compared to fitti M/L or other diapers ?

mstan, i bought the fairprice diapers cos of the velcro tape. I actually like the quality of it better than drypers. for L size, each piece is abt 21 cents vs 25 cents for drypers/huggies. my boy uses drypers / fairprice L size, but Mamypoko M size cos of the cutting. hope this helps.

TYL, happy birthday to you! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Ms tan, I have never used fitti. But the cutting is like drypers. My hubby hates drypers also. He got the sticker on my boy's thighs and just pull, din realize that he's pulling the thigh along! Was skeptical abt store brand also, but was pleasantly surprised. The only drawback is around the thigh area, dun have double elastic. But for day time use is still okay. My Zac is abt 7.8 kg.
I'm back at work today. Had to get up at 5 to pump and feed bb. Then get ready for work. Super low morale. He's still coughing and sneezing. He woke up at 3 in the morning and wailed his head off! Think he knows I'm going back to work today. Back to being a daytime nanny.

poxchan, thanks for sharing the article. my fb all flooded with teacher-friends sharing the same article. We spend more time taking care of other people's kids than our own.
smalldreams, think my boy also starting to recognize people already. whenever someone else is carrying him, his eyes will follow me around the room. He loves it when my parents carry him! Can talk to my dad somemore... the two of them can have long long conversations. So funny.
Now that I'm back at work, I actually have time to get on the computer.
