Hihi Mummies,
Long time no pop in. My girl was sick last week. Spotted her with fever on last Wed night, and brought her to pd on Thurs... her fever climbed to 39 degree, gave us a scare and she refused to 'co-operate' during med-feeding. Clam her mouth hard once she saw the medicine, refused to turn her head no matter how we play with her, end up got to force and she cried hard. Really heartache for us, cant bear to see her cry but still got to force as her fever is too high, we're so worried.
Then Sun, her fever subsided abit and she started popping red spots, starting from her head, then neck... body... hands.. gave us another shock. Luckily the pd pre-empted my hb and mum (they went to the pd) that she might spot some red dots on Sun. So we waited and monitor her condition, her spots started to lighten on Tues and Wed. Thank goodness. This was her first time being sick, apart from the usual injection fever. Really got us so worried... Its really very heartaching to see our little one sick. Hope all our little ones stay strong and healthy always!
Debbie, Yurieve, Samantha, Im also still bfing, but my supply had dropped quite alot as I had lengthened the interval. My girl's been on partial fm since her 7mth. Initially she didnt want fm also, we got to dreamfeed her (replaced 1 feed to fm only). After 1-2 weeks of night feeds of fm, she started getting used to the taste. Now she's on 50-50. We gave her S26 as she tried S26 before during her 1st mth when my bm hasn't kick in. We didnt specially went for S26, just happened that we were given free bottled sample of S26 when we discharged from mt a after her birth. So at her 7th mth old, when we need to suppplement, we gave back S26 and she's ok. Another reason we picked S26 was its made in Spore and very old brand (my mum said last time she also fed me S26, so I guess thats how old the brand is.. hee..). And also somehow after the china melamine milk powder episode, we felt that better to trust our own brand, incase of any issue, the recourse is also easier. Just our own opinion and for sharing.
