Chelz, my bb same as urs, only eat half a pigeon bowl of porridge a day for lunch, sometimes less than that.
She still has milk feed every 3-4hrs. on good days, if I feed her cereal in the evening, she can finish like 2 tablespoons too. (2 tablespoons cereal mix with water is actually not a lot…) otherwise she wont eat at all.
She also started to look leaner and I have no choice but to add 1 scoop of cereal to each of her milk feed. So far it works and she already finished almost 2 tins of cereal within 2 weeks. Also, she has constipation prob and bleeds whenever she poos but I am quite surprised that since she started cereal in bottle, she poos daily now!
I nv buy high chair, just let her sit on the floor or sofa and I feed. She will sit still and eat but once she is full, she will start to crawl or move away or wave her hands to say no. haha.
Ur boy so gd, let u brush teeth 3x a day. Mine will cry and cry if I even try to touch her teeth…

Sweetkiss yr gal so good gal! No need high chair n juz sit still! My gal is never still! I ve 3 feeding chairs at home leh. One in kitchen so that she can be with me while I cook her porridge or make milk. Another in dining table and the other in living room. No choice. Coz when she throws up n I am alone. I no hands to clean up so need to feed at the next chair. If not it is she naughty n wanna climb out of chair n refused eat so I must change chair n use other stuff like tv to distract etc... Typical day we are like playing musical chair la! Difficult gal leh. Boo . Oh and I also bought two other feeding chairs to be placed at my mum's place!
omg! SK ... then am i over feeding my BB C ?
She is taking those milk scoop (6 scoops cereal + 5 scoops milk) 3 times a day... too much ?
Her milk intake in the day is lesser... 2-3 oz only (2 times in IFC) usually before she slps (teacher DF her) at night before she slps will have another 6oz milk (6 scoops milk powder + 3 scoops rice)

he take like 5 bottles of milk ( range from 150 - 240 ml)per day then he will eat 1 n a half bowl of porridge or 6-8 scoops of rice cereal twice daily.

his scary part is he can finish 1 and a half bowl of porridge at 7.30 or 8pm. Then by 9.30pm he will want his sleepy milk to go sleep which is 240ml. he will finish every single drop then Zzzzz

AK: wow u really have a lot of high chairs! I didn’t buy because my house is super small. Those dining + living combined kind. If I wanna make do something in the kitchen, I will put her on the floor with toys. But I must be very fast coz she will start crawling all over once she gets bored and open the drawers, touch dustbin, etc. so dirty! U r indeed a supermum!
Beannie: hmm, I think roughly about the same? BB C only drinks 450ml of milk a day? but she eats more solids right? My 1 scoop powder makes 2 oz milk. I use the same scoop for cereal. I didn’t put too much cereal coz I scared too thick for her then she will realize it is not milk! she drinks 8oz each feed so roughly 1-1.2lit of milk per day. But the solid intake really very little so I will also give her pieces of bread, pau or baby biscuits in between.

Beannie: wow that sounds alot to me but coz my gal small drinker [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] she also usually 3-5oz. Never anything more than that. Everyday only abt 4 feeds. Btw I thought if u r making say 5oz milk it is like 4 scoops milk + 1 scoop rice cereal. If 6 oz then it is total 6 scoops altogether ( whatever proportion u prefer) ?

My baby had fever 39.6 deg celsius a few days ago. I learnt 2 things from this episode.
1. I gave Dhamol (paracetamol) in too small dosage - 2ml, hence not effective. The fever persisted for one day. Should have given 5ml for her, as she weighs 9.3kg now.
2. The doctor prescribed another medicine Ibuprofen which is given if fever persists despite paracetamol given 1-2 hours earlier and temperature greater than 38.5 deg.
Anyway, for her, once she was given the right dosage of paracetamol, her fever subsided after one dosage. The doctor also asked whether there is any vomitting, loose bowels. And a blood test was done to see if it was viral or bacterial infection, to see if there is a need for antibiotics.

Yippe! bb is sleeping. Nowadays he sleeps earlier like 8pm, but wake up earlier too, around 7am.
These few nights, he will suddenly wake up and sit up to cry in the dark. Scare me a few times leh..why ah? Is he scared and crying for us?
SK: Your gal is well-behaved! Can sit still and let you feed without high chair. mine ah..cannot. Even when eating outside, the most he can sit on the high chair is 45mins which we have timed him. Within these 45mins, I have taken out all kinds of barangs to entertain him, snacks, phone, watch. Then he will scream and other customers will turn and stare at him. haiz.

AK: You are super duper mum! During the Maldives trip, let your hubby be as hands on as possible with bb and YOU relax!!!!
Lasery: my bb also loves his milk alot, more than porridge. Have you tried training ur bb to sleep thru the 2am milk feed? Maybe it is just his habit to wake up for milk.

My boy fever has subsided to 37 degree but to be safe I will continue to monitor.
We also gave my boy 2ml of paracetamol leh! Cuz the medicine was given during one of his injection b4 6mths old. Now I also dunno what is the right dosage. He is only abt 9kg @ 10mths +.

charlie, tried liao....he will cry n cry n kick n turn n do wat eva ways to wake the whole block up just to get tt milk...hahaha..we chuck the pacifer into his mouth also no use...
mrslong...2ml too little le lah...they have to upgrade to 4mls liao...every 6 hrs..then if inbetween the fever still persist at 38.5 and above can give the brufen, nurofen...wat eva fen the doc prescribe . must be a gap of 2 hrs from the paracetamol.
n if u give the fen fen medicine cannot use the butt bullet coz the medicine is the same..will over dose.
spend 1.4k to learn all those...he was hospitalise for 4 days due to straight 3days of very high fever...it went all the way up to 40deg..
tue nite also went up to 40...i use the butt bullet on him to bring the temp dwn after tt 6hrs ltr give the nurofen medication. then every 4 hrs give paracetamol. n keep sponge him ....

When my boy is 5mth old, he keep having fever. But he is too young for burfen, so only can give paracetamol every 4hr. Also keep sponging him. Burfen is used when fever is over 38.5 but doc don really recommend for that.
So now if my son start having fever (touch wood), I will give paracetamol, so after 4hr fever did not subside n it range at 38 degrees then I have to bring him to kkh for urine n blood test cos he had urine tract infection for 3x within 2 mth when he was abt 6mth old.. So now he is on long term antibiotic.

Hi mommies! For those of you whos babies always fall sick, do make sure you visit a good doctor. It really makes a diff. When G had stomach flu recently, i brought him to my normal PD who gave him medicine that didnt work.. 2-3 days later still having diarrhea and slight fever. Then when I went overseas , my parents brought him to a specialist and just one dosage nia he recovered and no diarrhea already.. so i think right prescription and right medication very impT!
fever meds
hi mummies,please note cannot directly compare ml & weight like this as it all depends on the MG (ie., strength per ML) of the paracetemol. Diff doc carry different MG /per ml types of paracetomal.
so say for panadol drops( the pink box), it's actually concentrate, just need to give little in terms of ml to the baby, around around 2+ml for 9kg versus a lower concetration of fever med typically at 4-5ml for 9kg. there are many types of paracetemol(concentration) for babies, so do read the instruction on how much ml to give. i can't imagine the consequence of doubling dosages every 4hrly [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
types of paracetamol: Panadol drops (60MG/0.6ml), Calpol, Dhamol(250mg/5ml), Progesic,etc.

i had the same incident with my girl. coz PD prescribe the Panadol drops , which i later called the clinic asking why the ml is so little.
that was how i discovered different paracetamol, different dosage (depends on MG / per ML) and of course, thereafter compute by body weight.

Julie, your gal is 9.3kg and you gave her 5ml of paracetamol...was that the dosage given from your doc??
My boy is 10mth plus now and weighing close to 12kg...I still don't dare to give anything more than 3ml now even though sometimes the GP will write there 5ml...I kind of decrease the dose on my own but of course, when my boy has fever, I will monitor closely...
Just abit worried that the medicine will be too strong..

supergal, it really all depends on the type of paracetamol you get from the doc. on the flip side if suppose to give 5ml, you give 3ml, imgaine? then you call the doc and ask why fever still will not subside
underdosing is unnecessary. coz you may end up say if need 5ml, you give 3ml. fever shoot up to 38-39 degrees 2 hours later. you are stuck whether to give balance of 2ml (since 2 hrs have passed) or risk double dose of giving 5ml again.
we pay to see doctor so as not to play doctor. listen to doc will save 1 less wrinkle, 1 less white hair [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi mummies,
So happy that today is Friday.. looking forward to the weekend. Decided to get rid of my huge L shaped sofa and just replace with 2 Ikea chair. Like that will create more space for Kayden to play. Thinking of removing my coffee table too but coffee table so nice and in good condition so can't bear to throw.
Mealtime
I let Kayden watch Barney when I feed him lunch. It is the only way to get him to sit still or else he would be climbing up and down. Know it is not a good habit but I am just taking the easy way out. Hehe!!

Supergal, the dosage of my paracetamol is 120mg/5ml. Yes, the doctor says to give 5ml for her weight. Anyway, once the fever subsided, I didn't give anymore medicine. Just one correct dosage of the medicine brought the fever down!!
Anyway, my girl was coughing at night and unable to sleep properly, so I just brought her to the doctor again. And the doctor says when it's raining etc, they get more mucus. She gave a stronger cough medicine, multi-vitamin drops and another lung "tonic" (prophylactic medication).
I also put a tub of warm water (with few drops of eucalyptus oil) in the room (air-con), so hopefully, she can breathe better.

AK: I actually do it the way u do it for my BB C ... but she is too smart... over the days, she doesnt want it unless we put another scoop of FM... got once my HB put extra 1 scoop, BB C also doesnt want to have it... end up have to re prepare...
Ann: my BB C at times watched "Mickey Clubhouse" then willing to have her meals too... i also taking the easy way out, otherwise I would run out of ideas to coax her eat.
Julie: I have this warm water with oil in my room too! my poor HB can't slp well but me n BB slp very well ! (HB got sensitive nose when comes to these oil - he gets nose blocked)

Thanks Supergal. I think the cough just has to run its course. She has been refusing porridge but will eat yoghurt and bread! I wonder anyone face problems of baby having poor appetite when they are ill and do you have any tips for that?

Junie: I stayed at caesar park taipei. it's location is very very good, right at the taipei main station. link to the metro, railway, bus station. it used to be hilton. the hotel is quite old on the outside but inside is quite ok. Ask for rooms on the higher floor if you do stay there. We got upgraded when we requested for higher floor and the bathroom is super big. The bath tub so big that it can fit a few ppl inside.

Oh another hotel review from tripadvisor that was not bad is Roumei Boutique Hotel, situated at the Zhongshan district.
Taipei seems like quite a confusing place. Not sure where the main district is (i.e. our Orchard Road), so I'm also not sure which district is better to stay in.

Junie: Taipei is quite a big place so it can be more confusing that Singapore. Will you be only touring around Taipei or you'll be going to other parts of Taiwan? For my case, I went to Hualian so we prefer to stay near the train station. Some of my friends who only stayed in Taipei and main focus is shopping choose to stay at Xi Men Ding. Will you mainly be travelling by metro or other form of transport? If by metro then you would want to stay near a metro station. So it depends on what is your focus and requirements. I think one of my friend stayed at Roumei. Let me check and get back to you. Usually I also do my research using tripadvisor.

I think glutinuous rice is quite risky!! It is so sticky and difficult to digest. Risky for elderly and I presume it goes the same for babies too! I wouldn't feed my little one glutinuous rice. Other no-nos for me include honey, strawberry, egg white, nuts.
