Heya mommies! busy day for me..
Beebeemer, Astro, Vanilla, i thought i was getting better cos i didn't puke last night but ended up puking just now.. :S damn miserable leh.. my fear is that it will continue throughout my 2nd trimester.. so not fair.. i endured the nausea for the first trimester liao.
Esther, i left a msg on ur FB but guess u didn't see it. glad to hear that ur kid is better!! when kids are sick, it is us parents that worry like hell.. nonetheless very heartpain to see them suffering.. hang in there. The usual steriod dose given is mild enough that our kids won't have any 'long term damage'. i think gotta weigh it in context as the inflammation would make it hard for him to take in air, which would lead to a whole lot of probs. gotta treat the inflammation before he can get better..
Wah u all getting stuff for baby liao. for me, i will only wait till aft detailed scan.. hehe anyway nothing much to get for me. just need to send my pump for servicing and make sure my steriliser is still working. i use the pigeon one and it lasted very long.. actually i think u guys can afford to wait till next march when Taka has their baby fair.. really worth buying, like the Pigeon or Avent starter kit (steriliser, bottles, food warmer) for abt $179. for me i chose Pigeon cos it is slightly taller than Avent steriliser, which means i can leave my pump assembled to sterilise. don't have to break it down into smaller components to fit.
Abt bottles, i think Avent is the only one scientifically proven to prevent colic. There is an actual study published. not sure abt other brands.. BUT having said that, Avent changed their bottle's design so they are very very prone to leak now.
Mic, u had a lot of milk for ur #1? if yes, then would encourage u to get electric pumps (though not Avent). save time so u can slp or play with #1!!
