Hi mummies,

Chris,

thanks a lot. I'm sure Alexis loves them cos she didnt attempt to tear them off her hair... And the checked one matched her outfit today perfectly. Thanks so much for her very first personalized hairclip!!

 
Pinkyluv,

Thanks for the compliment! Very sweet of you [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/blush.gif] Hope Kyra's bump has healed nicely...

 
BB/ Pinkyluv,



Do you have that slot available for the bday bash on 13 August? If yes, I would like to bring Darius to join you all..



It has been a long time since I last saw any of you..

 
Hi all mummies,



My boy is a Sept kid as well and now he seems to be teething. Is it quite normal for them to reject milk?



He's ok with taking solid, H2O and breastmilk (direct latch) but been rejecting milk for abt 4 to 5days already. And it's not like total rejection. Will drink maybe 30ml at each feed only instead of 120ml.



My #1 didn't have this prob, so I'm not sure if it's due to the teeth that he do not wanna suckle on the bottle teat or if he's fed up with the FM already.



Thanks all in advance!

 
Dear all



The slots are fully taken up for the birthday bash on 13 August 2011 [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



If u r keen, pls join the Birthday Bash 2 organized by Leobaby.

 
Hi Ebelle,



How are you? I have been very busy with work and the kids. Was also away overseas for a few weeks during the June hols.



Darius just started at the infant care this Monday - he was crying yesterday! How is your girl doing at the infant care?

 
Chris, bb's enjoying IC. She was falling sick very often then I gave her Tcm now she's alot better and having fun in IC. Which is Darius attending? I am lookibh around for a gd sch w a stronger curriculum. Tot of changing whn she turns 18-24 mths.

 
Hi mummies,



I have some items to let go.

1. Desitin Creamy 4oz (Blue packaging) (Expiry Jun 2012) - $8.50

2. Desitin Creamy 2oz (Blue packaging) (Expiry Jun 2012) - $5.50



Please PM me if you are interested.



Thanks!

 
Ebelle,

Can share what tcm you gave ur girl. It is for strengthening her immunity?



Chin,

Thanks for sharing the directions to the carters factory outlet in bkk. I found the place and bought some stuff. The boys's wear (2T and up) is really limited there but lots of babies stuff for up to 24 mths.

 
I believe most of you mummies have seen my poor Gideon's condition on facebook. So here's more details to share for you all to take note.



My boy got mycoplasma infection.



He started with sore throat and low grade fever (37.5 to 38 for underarms temp). The cough started after he had cough mixture and ventolin. There's no running nose at all through out. Fever stopped and the phelgm started on the 3rd day after the cough mixture was administered. He started to develop rashes (irregular shaped, red, slightly bulging, some flower like outline with center in skin colour. Subsided after apply calamine lotion but others grew. only a small percentage of pple who get it will have rashes. NOt common for under 1.



You can google online and this is very common in Singapore. Though it can heal by itself, it may take very long so antibiotics help if the cough gets too bad. My hubby's symptoms matched this (except for the rash) too.

 
Hi babymaine, I am a new addition to this thread, introduced by Sarahmay. My boy is also a Sept 2010 baby [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Is there any more slot for the Aug 6 babybash? Would like to bring my boy. Is it held at the JWT UE Square?

 
Hi, Joycekevinchong

Would you be interested to take over my slot for bb bday bash on Aug 6? I am unable to attend as I am not in Singapore on tat day and I have made payment for it. Pls pm if interested cos I am unable to pm u. thanks

 
Hi ebelle..

May I know what tcm did u give yr gal? Mine in infant care since 4 mths old.. She has been visiting the doc since she turned 7 mths.. Now with viral fever, from her dad.. Every mth must report to PD n me has to tell boss on childcare or vacation leave every mth.. Sigh........n she is already a tiny baby at 7.5kg at 10mths... How to put on wt?!!! Tks

 
Ebelle,



Darius is at Baby Haven (under Pat's Sch House) at Halifax Road...I think they are quite good. So far no complaints, and surprising my boy can even sleep quite well in school. Just a bit of separation anxiety. Care to share what TCM..?



Pomme - glad that you found the place. I was just in Bangkok last week - on business though. So did not really get to shop. But I enjoyed the food! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hi Aries Mom and Chin,



I started my bb on Hou zao san, monkey gallstone powder fr Eu Yan Sang bec she was constantly down w runny nose and cough w phelgm, since Feb. She was put in 2 rounds of nebuliser and ate alot of med. PD said sensitive airways plus Infant Care so he cant do much. We were desparate and pur IC owner suggested TCM so we went to Eu Yan Sang cis was told their products r 'purer'. She went on 3 dose over 2 wks and she's finally off medicine! But we r still monitoring her and will be starting her on cordyceps to strengthen her immune system. We bgt the small

Box so it'll last her 8x for 2 mths. The monkey power q ex but bb small, won't need alot so q affordable. Will update again if cordyceps work;).

 
O Aries,

My PD suggested taking flu jab. I never goto that cos b4 giving bb TCM, bb hasnt been well enough to tk the jab so finally, i am brging her next wk.



Understand wat u mean, but cant deny that other than this, IC has alot of advantages. My bb loves to go IC;). I brgt my

Bb to the raffles city branch, the china supervisor seems v knowledgable.

 
Hi ebelle



tks for the info.. Which eu Yan Seng center u bring her too? I wanted to try cordyceps but think she might be too young for it..



I like IC cos she likes it there.. She loves the rails in the gym.. At hme, the dining table becomes the gym.. Crawls in And out of the table legs.. Also learns to play ball...eats n zz well cos she knows she is in school .. At hme she is a terror.. Does not eat m zz well.. Only plays and plays....

 
Hi mummys can I ask if anyone is feeding baby w eu ren sang brown rice? Does it need to be cooked first or can just mixed w hot water? What can we add to make it tasty? Also has anyone introduced flashcards to baby? Any response?

 
xiao pang,



Tried flash cards a few times just for the heck of it, but bb just wanna grab and EAT the cards. :-D



When my boy was 10 months, he was already a big Sesame Street fan (can sit and stare at TV with the same Sesame Street show replaying non stop). He can also focus on flash cards flashing in front of him. So while my boy was all eyes, the girl is total opposite. She's not interested in TV and is all hands and mouth. So I figured my boy is more visual while my girl is more tactile, and attempts to fix lego blocks but coordination still not very developed.

 
Any agents specialize in rental, can intro me?

Am thinking to rent out my flat...



Xiaopang,

You can start flashing cards to baby already, though there might not be huge response, but no doubt they are absorbing everything we do and say now. Try it!



Have a great evening!

 
Any mommy who is a FRIEND OF SSO?



I vaguely recalled a mommy here who went for Baby's Prom end last year but can't remember who. If you are reading this, PM me ok? Tq!

 
Aries,



I went to the Raffles City one. The supervisor, a china woman seems very knowledgable, more so that the locals.



Ya agree on the benefits of IC[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif].Which is ur bb attending?

 
OP, where do you get the sesame street videos?

When is baby prom? I'm interested to go..



xiaopang, the brown rice, need to cook. but very fast. u mix the powder with normal temperature water (not hot), den put it over the stove and stir. it will become stickier and sticker. it's quite nice by itself, but sometimes i add 1-2 oz milk as my boy does not want to take milk in the day.

 
OP and mummies,



I don't know if you mean going to picnic at botanic garden with Orchestra performance. I chio you all mummies go but nobody want leh.



Just coincidentally I was looking at the performance schedule for botanic garden for this weekend. This Sat have performance so you mummies wanna go we can organise a mass bb picnic.

 
Thanks, Ebelle for sharing. I definitely have to check TCM out for Darius.

Anyway, I started my older boy (now almost 6 years ago) on cordycepts about 1 year ago. It works, cos he is hardly sick nowadays. We grind it into powder and put it into his soup.



Will check out the hou zou san again - I let Darius try it when he was 3 months old. He is sick today..running nose and cough. Yes, I was told that the EYS one is better as well.

diamantz,



I bought the vcds during my boy's time. But of cos, you can prolly download somewhere from the internet... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



Babies Prom is a concert for very young kids (even babies) where it's ok to wail/make a lot of noise and nobody will stare at you.



Leobaby,



No, I don't mean the Botanic Gardens. But it's fun nonetheless... minus the heat. :)



Mommy who is a Friend of SSO



Pls PM meeeeee!!!! :-D

 
OP and mummies,



the bontanic garden picnis is from 530pm to 630pm if you all are interested. Heat is gone by then but may wanna be slightly early to get good seat.

 
Hi mummies, hope everyone is doing fine. It has been a long time tt I cme in as work is getting hectic.



Seen like mummies ar finding ways to build bb health. I hve something to recommend. 



My boy was down with bronchitis some mth back n it took him mre than 3 PD visits and coming to a mth of western medication to recover.



Since then, I started him on the following supplements intro by my friend:



NOCO (for respiratory system) 

http://www.eexcelasia.com/2007/en/Product/sv/noco.htm



Millennium Red (for immune system)

http://www.eexcelasia.com/2007/en/Product/sv/millennium2.htm



My boy was stronger in health. 

I was jus warded 2 weeks back due to a very serious viral fever tt attacked my respiratory system. X-ray reflected right lung infected.



Before beig warded, I was ill for 5 days and was still caring for my son during tt period of time. 



In short, my hubby got my virus but his body managed to fight it with the helps of antibiotics given by GP.



BUT, my boy (who slp on the other side of me in air con room at nite) was fine despite teething 4 upper teeth during tt week when I was warded.



Pls read the pdt writeup to find out mre. If u are interested can PM me to find out more info too.  



I hve been eat their other supplement pdts for years even during preg wif my boy.



And most of all, it is easy to prepare. Jus mix it into the milk! 



FYI - all the supplements pdt ar certified safe by Spore AVA before any selling. 



* sry for the super long entry.

 
Hi ebelle,

tks for sharing..my bb attending my first skool by ntuc, in Amk... I saw the high end childcare by ntuc, little skool at Amk hub.. Was thinking of switching her to that when she grows up but whoa,more ex and the air con in Amk Hub is running on full power! Cold....her infant care is also aircon..



Just now call them to check on gal's apetite..teacher said eating well compared to the rest.. Gal recovering from viral fever..after that I realise eating well means half bowl porridge.. Which means the rest of the bb might be falling sick or recovering...sian... Remember I saw a bb on antibiotics a wk ago..before bb fell sick... Sigh

 
I have used once Tolly Joy High Chair.



Can be converted to table & chair.



Retail at S$110.



Letting go at S$70.



condition: 9.99



Please PM for picture if you are keen.



thanks


 
hi mummies,



Talking abt baby health, I oso have something to share. I'm currently bringing Denise to Yu Guo Chinese Physician Acupuncture & Physiotherapy for massage. Apparently there are a lot of good reviews that baby massage can help to improve on baby's health and build up their immunity and this has been recommended to me by my friend. As I have only started to bring her on a regular basis since June, I cant really comment on the effectiveness yet. But my friend who has been bringing her kids (aged 2 and 1) on a weekly basis have seen good improvement to their health.

 
Hi Xiao Pang,



I tried the glenn doman flash cards for my boy, more as an activity for my caregivers to do for bb. These are just english words, chinese (neglected ah, i'm the only one in the family who can APPARENTLY read chinese), and math dots. Think he really likes the dots.



But i dunno what the effectiveness is. He just stares really hard if i ask him, "which word is 'boy'?" He pays attention though, so my family members call him a "thinker".



But I think my boy is more tactile. When he sees a book, he's figuring out how to turn the pages one by one. He'll turn it upside down, then right side up, then close the book and feel the spine.



I think being a running commentary works for my boy. Don't know if i'm imagining, but there were a couple of times when he sees a circle shape on a toy or book, he'll say "keh", like the 2nd syllable of cir-cle. And also "buh" when he sees bottle or ball.



For colorful image flashcards, I like Berlitz flashcards. The pictures are colorful and real (not cartoon type). But it's so attractive that my son ripped a few apart...

 
Btw ladies, just wanna thank God my maid came back from her home leave. I've heard too many horror stories of maids not returning, so just wanna share the good news! haha...

 
Was wondering any mummies took part in the KKH Healthy breastfed babies contest?



the results are out.. check your mail~ [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
hello ladies!



how are you all?



I'm popping by to ask you ladies for help. Hehe. I'm entering my child (my elder boy) 1st time in a contest, Uniqlo's Uniqlooks.



Would appreciate your help if you could help vote for him by clicking the LIKE button.



This is the link http://uniqlooks.uniqlo.com/user/28925



Thank you thank you in advance for your support!



Adelynn: Did you take part? Got win? I wanted to enter but must pay so much! so didnt bother. hehe.



Shinchan: Can you share where your TCM contact is? Been wanting to take both my sons there to tiao body.



CCpet: where did you buy ur dots from? You are really hardworking!!! my flashcards from #1 time sitting in bookshelf now tho i have #2. kwa kwa...shame on me.

 
Sarahmay, ur boy is so suave! Is he Ezekiel?



I bought the dots from any stationary shop, thumbnail size, chose a bright red color and just stuck them on the thickest drawing block paper I could find. It could b that he likes the dots cos grandma, who flashes him the dots, is quite enthu.. She used to b a part time math tutor...

 


Any mummy who has bb gal can share what should be e correct procedures to clean bb's genitals with a towel. I tot it should be groin, vagina, then buttocks. But my mil said it should be vagina, groin then buttock n lecture my maid. But shouldn't it be cleanest to dirtiest area. Groin is most clean to me.
