ccpet: oh. haven't had time to read emails. sorry. haiz and now dunno where i kept the bb einstein too lor. be back in jan again. i pm u then and see if u are still keen? sorry sorry. i'm packing now cos flying off on thurs. TOG is thermal rating - how warm an article of clothing/ blanket / sleeping bag is. lascal? my friend used tt but stopped soon cos she says her back really felt the strain. i think carriers cannot use once bb hits certain weight cos v siong on back, regardless of how good carrier is lor.
dunno what caused rash. i suspect lowered immunity and fatigue and stress?
tracey: hmm if sweaty it cld be tt she is overheated. honestly i got a 2.5tog for winter BUT realised tt after layering him in clothes and then w heater, he was overheated! so anw, in sg, my friends use 0.5TOG grobag, can buy from mothercare.
when she 'leaks' milk i think tt is called regurgitation. looks MORE than what it is so ur 20ml may only be a few ml. do u burp her midway and at end of feed? it will help. as for how much, deps on indv bb. Has she been putting on adequate weight?> does she cry after the feed and will only stop if u give her milk? rough guideline for calculation is 150ml per kg of weight. so 5 kg bb = 750ml...but har not accurate cos obviously some bbs can take more tn that. there have been times my bb is supposed to drink 600ml but drank like 900ml lor. now i dunno cos i latch most times. and when bottlefed, fluctuate between 90 - 130ml. he's 6sept bb so abt 11wks now? at 8wks he was 5.2kg.
Joyce: Same la. Angel outside but home different matter. But thank goodness for tt also. Cos at least won't need to embarass oruselves outside. However better keep fingers crossed ...cos they are still young, maybe haven't 'chu' all the pattern yet. hehe. is ur tot going to any playgroup yet? btw, i have found it helpful for myself not to think of this 2 year old stage as 'terrible' but 'terrific'. and i really enjoy him now. all the so called terrors of this age is really them trying to exert independence, a v vital part in the formation of their self-concept and confidence etc. mb if u think of it this way, u get less upset w him when she is throwing some form of fit. see what it is she is trying to do but is getting frustrated with?
phyphy: i cannot find my phone! i dunno where my son hid it! anw i think we're going tonight. my parents are still deciding whether to go along (so can bring bb ) or not. But i shd be going around 4 - 5 with my elder boy. taking train. having dinner there. How? wanna come?
