Some mommies asked me about how Leah's eye check... tot it's easier to post it up here for everyone.
My 10mo girl was tested 275 astigmatism on each of her eyes... =( Specialist at the hospital said she needs glasses. =(
The reason why we took her to the specialist for eye check was that we told the polyclinic doc that she looked alittle crossed eyes (Strabismus) during her 8th-9th body checkup. Doc referred us to KKH eye specialist. After KKH doc checked, confirmed that my girl just appeared to be crossed eye, a condition called pseudostrabismus. It will go away as she grows up. But they found out she has astig when they did routine check on her, quite serious. Suggested to let her wear glasses so condition could be under control else it may develop to lazy eyes, short-sighted, etc.
The specialist referred us to a shop where we can get our girl prescribed infant eye glasses. Over there, they have an optometrist so we thought we get him to do another check to confirm my girl's condition. Come to think of it I think it was quite silly for us to seek 2nd opinion from them coz there's chance of conflict of interest.
Anyway, the optometrist said that my girl has astigmatism, and need glasses. He said my girl's astigmatism is adult astigmatism, not infant astigmatism that will auto correct as she grows. So eye glasses is necessary, he said. I still have doubt about his saying, one becoz the tests at the shop and the hospital were taken while my girl was impatient cranky whiney and moving around, secondly the test taken at the shop was with a faulty retinoscopy (the light kept flicking) and lastly, although the shop's FB and website says they are experienced with infant and kids vision, the optometrist (the only one in the shop) doesn't seems to be very experience with handling infant.
We left the shop with a receipt to collect my girl's eye glasses and lotsa questions that were not answered. What's the difference between adult and infant astigmatism? And what causes adult astigmatism? What kind of 'adult astigmatism' does my girl has, cornea or lens abnormal? My hub and I have near to zero astigmatism so I don't think it's hereditary.
Sigh... =( I come back and chat with ya all later, need to get busy.

Klitz, would love to join the gatherings. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
AMelia, hope your baby recover soon. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Bribena, think it's better to get a 3rd or 4th opinion before you let your baby wear the prescribed glasses. In case she has infant asti but they prescribe adult asti and worsen the condition.

Good morning mummies! It is a wet wet morning!
My MIL did the weirdest thing. I sleep with baby in the hall recently. On Sunday, when I woke up, MIL said my bro came to visit. I was like "huh? but he never told me he'll come to visit".. and it was just like 8am? She said ya, he came at 7plus in the morning, knocked on the door and left when she opened the door. And I was sleeping in the hall. I checked with my bro, he was still sleeping soundly in JB.. :-( Last night, when I was about to doze off, she came out again, and checked on the door, opened up the door. I asked what she was doing. She says she heard knocks on the door.. made me panic.. But I was sleeping there, and I didn't hear anything.. :-S
Amelia: how's your boy doing today? Better?

Bbribena- i agree with the rest bout a 3rd opinion.. If you still have doubts, you should clear them. cos i know it will continue to prompt you til you get them answered...i am such a person and it will just get me down.. so,if u need help,i think the friend that Rena is gona recommend you is a forum fren who is an eye doctor and will most certainly be able to offer you some insight...
Rena - you referring to Anita right?

Good morning mommies and daddies[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Mommies remember to drink more water and eat more fruits[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Ribena, I also think you should go for 3rd or 4th opinion. Leah may not need glasses.
When i was 10 years old, Like my case my San guan was 375, the specs shop guy increase my degree which was not necessary.

E-square: so far she has been good though a little forgetful here and there.. will monitor further and see what is it with her.. hubby left this morning, I'm scared! Later she wakes up middle of the night and watch us sleep.. duhz!
crystal/roz: my r/s with mil is super quiet type.. she is 81yo.. I can only keep to myself most of the time.. see tonight I'll try to dig if she's feeling ok.. she has been forgetting her medical appt lately so much so I placed her medical card on the fridge so we can all see and remember..

Eoneon: i do raise my voice to my boy when I was too irritated by him .. then i will ask my hubby to step in and i will ignore my boy .. then my boy will start to come n kacau me n hope that i look at him n smile at him .. duh~~
thanks mummies.. hope she is ok.. sometimes, while my tail is short and we have different opinion in raising baby, I am still grateful she is around to help monitor helper and zaizai..
Eon: another phase! jia you mummy! I can't raise my voice to Issac, coz MIL will always stand in between.. hehehe.. happened once, I asked her to sit down, she quickly asked hubby to come out to check on me.. hahahaha...
TenQ: I thought of telling him.. but forgot.. and now he is overseas again, don't want to make him worry. Let's see if it'll get worse, I'll have to take leave and bring her see doc myself.. been time since you posted!

crystal: she will whine, want my attention. so have to carry her and pat her butt... then after patting for a good 15-30 minutes at times, she will suddenly fling her smelly pillow over her shoulder and follow by her pacifier. thats her way of telling me, i dont want to sleep!

Eon, hang in there! We're all humans, and sometimes it feels like our children purposely want to torment us!
Agree with Amelia..when I'm hving trouble putting my kids to sleep, I'll take them on a short walk, even if it's just around the house, go look out the window...before trying again.
ng> I think Bjorn Synergy can only use till 12 kg? I would recommend Ergo instead, they're awesome and very comfy to use. And they can be used till 18 kg

Ergo gives better support, I don't feel tired even after carrying my son in it for a long time. You can't do a front fwd facing carry, they say it's not good for the spine anyways, but you can do a back carry..
when my boy was younger I was using beco butterfly but i find now the ergo seems to 'fit' better. can consider getting a used one, I got mine for $60 online
Another one that my friend recently bought is the Pognae (korean brand) baby carrier from gmarket. it's similar to Ergo..and I like that it has a mesh cover, so baby won't get too hot and sweaty inside.

Ng: I m using MIM. I tried puspik pouch as well but one thing not good is it goes according to body size. I hv hand me down mothercare and no brand carrier as well. But, I Still vote for MIM sling

yahyah sling is very versatile..can carry all sorts of positions and got high weight limit also. but you need to get a hang of it...which i never did so my sling is sitting in the cupboard.
i also hv never heard of pognae till my friend bought it..looks pretty good too.
and yes it gets a little hot and sweaty in the ergo, but personally i think it's a small price to pay for the comfort and ease of use. not glam only lah...
btw ng, if you are considering an ergo, just saw someone selling on craigslist $50, pick up at buona vista.

Ng - im using Ergo Sport and i think its really a good carrier.. i dun feel tired or find it straining for my shoulders.. i use it to bring my bb to send her jiejie for classes, taking bus and climbing overhead bridges.. thumbs up for me [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] i also use the pouch at times for short walks using koala style. tho ergo will be rather warm to use at times, my top gets damp too! but still, i prefer the ergo and now bring a small electric fan in my bag for hot days, just in case..

Good evening mommies and daddies[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif][IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I just want to said this for long long time. I really miss the good old days, where we share each others happiness, sadness, cravings. Sad to say now this group is getting out of place.
Whatever we do now, we must set good examples to our little ones. Should it be good or bad our babies will learn from us. I am not trying to judge, it is up to individual's value, believe, family upbringing.
I just miss the good old days, really. Jiemeis, please be open minded and see open.
Pardon me for my long post. Goodnight everyone and sweet dreams.....

Ng..
Egro is a very good carrier.. Having tried most brands.. Egro is the best for my heavy weigh .. Coz it can tahan 25kg.. ..
Eon eon!
Jia you!! Dun feel guilty.. Just that next time when u are upset just put bb in the cot go out and breath in and out 10 times then carry bb..
