Tiggeroo: Normal ones will do, cos even if you get sterile ones, you will dip in normal water then also will become non-sterile.

Just watched tonight news and there a research find that if NB 1st 6 months only depend on BM then the risk of allergy to peanut will be 1.5 higher.
Wah then must we mix and match with FM?

Hazel: Here's the actual link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-1347006/Breast-feeding-6-months-causes-allergies-warn-British-researchers.html
It never say must mix and match FM. Other food is alright.
I guess at the end of the day, moderation is the key. So a little water or gripe water is alright. At four months, it's okie to introduce other liquids like fruit juices or very smooth ceral puree (as long as it's hygienically prepared and bm still makes up majority of the day's diet), which my mum has been doing with me and my step siblings when we are young.

Starfantasy not sure can give bb abit of water after BM in the 1st 3 months. Cos I rem I watched a taiwan variety show a doc which they invited said it ok to give bb a little water after the BM.

Hazel: It's fine if bb want to drink. Cos the purpose is like to rinse the mouth after food.
Harry, my boy is 25 months. He was also very clingy to me. So far, he is generally ok - I make sure I d not lose my temper with him, and also make sure that I spend some quality time with him, and he seems to be ok. He is not upset when I carry or nurse my girl. In fact, the first night when he was very upset, part of it was because he wanted to include her in bedtime story reading, but we did not understand him. Hoe he continues to be this sweet.
I had a gift for him from her but I also had him chose a gift for her.

Thanks, Star.
Ya, now I remember there is also this microwaveable sterilizer.. but need sterilizing tablets right? The Madela bags seem to only need to add water?? Hmm...
JC/Dot:
Oh ya hor.. never thought of the 'ang-pow' part when comes to changing CL...If need to give ang-pow to all replacement CLs sure very 'siong' leh..
Sri Leo:
Wah, A-Team's quote is so high!! I think the market rate now from 7am-7pm is around $600 - $$700 for the first few months without solid food. Thereafter another $80 - $100 when baby starts solid food. This is what my babysitter is charging a newborn who she's going to take care starting this month. She has helped me taken care of my #1 and #2, but for #3 I will be sending to infant care, for a change.
I got my babysitter through another agency a few years back. Service is good. You specified all your requirements and they will try their best to find one who suits your need. They will do first round interview/filtering and shortlist a few for you to choose/interview yourself, until you find one that you like. I think I only paid $30 for them to find me a suitable babysitter. They will collect half month's pay from the babysitter as commission. Not sure if this is still the practice now... Pm me if you want the agency name. For some reason I am being blocked from posting the agency name here.. don't know why...

Ninger/Saffy/ starfantasy/JC & JA, most of us are the same. My leg also got swollen on and off. And it tiring to have long walk. But do try walk like 10 min daily after meal as it good and promo smooth and easy delivery as recommend during my antenatal class.
I also try walking and do some shopping. But will try find a place to take a rest after a short walk. In this way, we will not over tired ourself to take into consideration the body weight we are holding now(ourself & bb weight).

JA, actually a bit of exercise will help in water retention.
Manage to get the bed and 1st batch of bb clothes washed and packed with hb help. He will be taking leave on mon and tue to mop the bb room floor and get everything set up. My hospital bag almost done. Only need to top up the panties and some more pads( scare not enough). Now is the waiting game, and has been telling bb to be guai. Think it work. As she hasn't been giving me much problems this 2 days while I am doing the packing. LOL... Maybe she kw we will make sure she got a nice and comfortable room to stay. Hee hee...

Ling : Dun overdo it.. it sounds like u r going to do a lot of exercise.
Dot : Thanks! Think will check with agent if i need to change CL.
My luggage is almost done.. now waiting for the clothes to dry and can put it in and done deal. Mount A doesnt provide clothing for baby to go home.
My water retention on the feet is funny.. It only happens on my right foot.. wahahaha. then it will look like 1 foot swollen and the left one is normal. 1 big 1 small very obvious.
I know walking helps but cant help to feel torturous when i feel the feet are no longer mine.
nowadays i keep knocking onto my tummy whenever i open the door.. poor kid.. it just grow very fast till i forgot my tummy is no longer that small.. haha!

Ling, I thought about doing the perineal massage, but did not, because I could not reach it! Lol.
Harmy, my boy is 25 months old. I brought my girl's gift to him in my hospital bag. I got my hubby to help my boy wrap his gift to Meimei (in his presence. I planned to do it, but had not gotten around to it) and bring it with him to the hospital when they visited. My boy also sleeps with us. Still does. Meimei is now in the other room with the CL, so no change in that routine yet.
I did prepare my boy fr Meimei's arrival, talking about Meimei once in a while, asking him to say gdnite to Meimei b4 bed, talking about when Meimei comes out, bringing him to my gynae appointments.

Ling: Just be careful when you are climbing the stairs, do it slowly. Actually if you have been used to climbing the stairs then it's alright to continue. Walking wise just listen to your body, if you feel pain or tired after walking a distance then it's time to stop and take a rest.
Regarding perineal massage, my gyane told me to start when I was week 34. Actually I also find it hard to reach so I got my hubby to do it for me every night. I just use the KY jelly (water based) and find it good enough. Initially I thought of using the baby oil but didn't in the end cos I don't want to be feeling "oily" down there. After 1 week, you can actually feel the results, like more flexible down there. Hehe

Sri Leo, u can try apply some rui yi yu as it help get rid if the air. But rem small amount and not really direct on tummy.
hi,
i was on my routine check on friday 13th, and doctor found my amniotic fluid index is low, ie 5.6. so i got hosoitalized
unprepared for that at all. Doc will sCan the bb again to get the water level on Monday. As i was in my 35 weeks and 3 days, so if the leVel is no good still bb willneed to be induced,
around 36 weeks, i really hope bb can stay in my tummy till 37 week at least, and natural birth. heard induced is very painful

Ya. It can be use for bb/ kid if they have wind in their stomach. So it can be use on us too. But rem not direct in tummy. Put a little on ur palm and rub again 2 hands before placing on ur tummy. Another method, u can drink some warm water.

Peppermint tea is another good choice too. Hope this help.
starfantasy84

Hazel: now that bb is big, i don know if applying ru yi oil can have effect since it doesn't get to the stomach or intestines (as bb is in front)?
Sri leo: some simple movement or exercise may help u too but it's not glam. Can do at home. Get on all fours on the bed and gently rock your body in a circular or toward backward motion. This will helps the gas to move out either thru burping or thru the back (fart). Another way is to watch diet, try to avoid food that can causes gases like beans, diary products etc.
Regarding HL, gyane should be able to give but again depend if they want. I'm not exactly a civil servant but as i work in a statboard, my salary and work benefits follow pretty closely to civil service.

Aixin: take care, hope bb can stay longer in ur tummy too. I don think induce is painful (depend on the method use). Ppl say painful cos they know that it's contraction and the mind will associate contractions with pain. Actually it's all in the mind. Like dot who gave birth to her daughter, when she's having contractions at home, she try to dismiss it as just some BH or something uncomfortable. The thing is if u keep focusing on it, the worst it will get. Hope u get wat i mean.

Hi, wifey went for her 3rd & final OB scan & was diagnosed to have Intrauterine Growth Retardation, the term sound really scary. It mean the baby's growth is slow compared to others. She's at 35wks now but the scan calculated the baby only at 32wks4d...
anyone also has this problem?
the result also shows low aminotic fluid but gynae later checked the 4 quadrants & said level is ok, ask us dun worry...
wifey's bp also on high side, gynae gave her med for that but she wun be taking it as there are known side effects, we bought a bp monitor instead & to cut down salt intake.

JnH, for the medication for the BP, its the best to take it.. there will be risk if she doesnt take the medications. If it isnt that high, gynae would not have prescribe the BP medicine to her. it is safe. so don't skip the medication.
