U consider Mothercare branded or not? I think got the solid colors u are looking for. I am going down to take a look later. If cheap, then I can buy some for my boy.
Branded clothes, I dun mind getting a few pieces if there are on offer, but I definitely wun buy at original price. My hubby RL fan mah, so he saw it selling cheap, he got his son a similar piece like the one he has. So far, most of my boy's clothes are pooh bear ones, bot on sale.
Mostly cartoony design, so dun think I can help u lah.

He fussed by crying more than usual, but no fever.

It's funny for my boy, we stop burping him, we just hold him upright and he will burp by himself.

MC quite branded and expensive right...might go down tomorrow. The thing is my boy cannot wear too thick material cos he perspires... like those shortalls, he can wear but I have to make sure the top is of thinner material. Today we brot him out and put him in the car seat, he was so interested looking out of the window, hehe,, after a while he fell asleep. Also put him in the bb seat in the trolley at Carrefour, he was enjoying himself.. hopefully he's bigger now and dun fuss so much.

Yah, their clothes quite ex, but dunno they considered branded or not. Anyway, I only got him a pair of soft shoes. The clothes I want to get either no size or no discount, so my financial ctl nvr approve, so dun get to buy. I wanted to get him the fabric storybk, also no discount, so put on hold 1st. Ended up, I went to cool kids @ United sq, and got him a bottom there.
My boy also afraid of the heat, he has those red rashes on his head sometimes. Its gd to bring them out hor, seems like they dun fuss so much outside. I also hope tt he will get less fussy when he grows older.

was told above 37 deg cel is fever n 38 & above consider as high fever for babies. my boy's temp went up to 37.8 tis afternoon, my hubby so paranoid cos fever still there aft taking the medicine, made me so scared. juz now let him have a cool bath n let his mini-fan blow direct at him. thank God the fever juz subsided.

37 deg cel is considered fever!! My gal temp was 37.3 before the jab (taken by the clinic nurse before seeing the PD,) PD never said anything leh. Thru'out the day, her temp was ard dat too, 37.2-37.5. My bbsitter let her took another 1ml when her temp hits 37.5.

quietbird, yes, when i'm at work, he has porridge twice and milk twice. once i'm home, he will drink twice before bedtime and once just before i leave for work. on the night feedings ... i think it's a phase your bb is gg thru coz my boy used to wake up and cry very frequently too. these 2 mths, he seems to be better and doesnt wake up as often. hang in there and it will pass soon ...
stylobb, my boy is 16 mths now. he started teething at around 6-7 mths (i think ...
) but before the first tooth is out, their gums will be very uncomfortable so they will be cranky.

I went to Mothercare marina centre, didn't buy any stuff for my boy, but got avent disposable bags instead. very cheap only $5 per box.

So far my menses not back yet. Initally during my confinement months (1st and 2nd), I do experienced some discharge which I thought is menses but the flow is very little which last few days. So I don't these is consider as menses.

For 1st jab, the nurse said considered fever if about 37.5C. For 2nd jab, it was considered fever if about 37.9C..I use the ear thermometer.
Just be aware bb's appetite might be affected for a day or two.
lea
Mine just came, I will have to monitor first.. but flow is rather heavy even tho I am still b/feeding. Do you express? Wow, you still b/feeding your boy...
desert
Ivan took the teat well ah, that's good. Make sure you dun use the nbr III marking cos the flow may spurt out too fast and shock him!! Hehe.
I went to KP and bought some plain tops for Jesse, simple and nice.. anyway I started to pack all the bb clothes that he does not wear/cannot wear anymore. Hb and I realise that he does not need much outdoor clothes, only enuf for the weekends..since weekdays he wears cottony types and shorts.
jas
That's cheap.. I am not sure if I still need, cos over weekend, I dun even pump, direct latch him all the way.

Haven't been latching on my gal for quite sometime, abt 3 weeks. Trying to latch her on last weekend but she seems dunno how to suckle/dun wan to suckle. Oops.. Anyone face this problem?
Will latch her on tonite, hopefully she will suckle. Was telling my hubby, she forget how to suckle aredi?

quench,
hope you have gotten your replacement funnel.

Poor thing...must be so tired and stressful. Does Joel take fm before? I think it's ok to introduce fm to him. Yah, I understand, if work load is usual, still not so bad, but if have to OT and pump, quite difficult. Try your best. My ss is also so-so... I still latch on, and express during those timings.

KP having 20% off rite? Was in a hurry on sun, so din get to check it out. Want to get some cheap colored tees for my boy. I got him 2 jumpers fr Bugis @$9.90, so want to get him tees to wear inside. Jesse wearing shorts on wkday? I just let Ivan wear singlet and cloth diapers on wkdays. hee...save money, no need to buy bottom for wkdays.
I am using II for the bee gor. My mum fed him again yesterday, and he din fuss as much. Hmm seems like he likes the taste of the bee gor.
Miu
Yup, solids suppose to start fr 4-6 mths and suppose to feed fr spoon. My case not exactly weaning. My mum wanted to introduce the taste of bee gor to my boy by mixing some with his milk, so I agreed since only one wk more to 4 mths. But I will only let her feed for abt 2 wks using bottle, coz will go PD for 4th mth injection tt time, after which will introduce solids using spoon.

My menses not here yet, but then my boy is only coming to 4 mths. So, maybe its still early

quietbird, seems like your gal is gg thru the same phase as wat my boy went thru a few mths back. his appetite suddenly dipped and he refused to drink or eat much. i think it should be ok coz your gal may be teething so her gums are very uncomfortable. my boy's eating habits picked up after a while ... you may wan to monitor for a while and see how.

Not easy hor? Every lunchtime gotta pump, and end of the day too.. sometimes I wonder how I survived so long but keep telling myself when the chance passes, then no more liao so as long as I can, I will still do it. Me busy nowadays, supply also affected..so stressful at work. Anyway another 5 more weeks to countdown.

Does your boy still cry at night?

Yup, weather quite hot nowadays, but seems better these 2 days. Can I check with u how is ur boy's sleeping time in the afternoon now. My boy dun know why now change to 1/2 hr everytime, even if I put him stomach down. He used to be able to sleep 1-2.5 hrs.

If u read my previous postings, I gave my boy one bottle of formula for nite feed in the 2nd wk, coz my milk ss does not seem to satisfy him and I want him to sleep longer. Then, there was a stage at ard 2 mths, when he was fussy in the evening and refuse to suckle, so I change the formula to evening time. After which he rejected the bottle, so I tbf. But if my mum is ard in the evening, she still insist on feeding him the bottle, coz she dun want him to keep on rejecting it. If she's not ard, then I bf him. And I dun express anymore, coz tt time I expressed, got pathetic amt.

Hi bf mummies,
I am quite pek chek . On sat, I have to attend a stupid company event from morning till about 5 pm. I can only express once as there is no proper place for pumping and sterilisation except the toilet. My colleague who has the same problem as me suggested pumping and throwing it away. I feel that it is a waste and precious breast milk is lost. Is there anyone here with a solution for me??

Joel takes formula once for night feed, so he's not foreign to formula.
I have begin to mix one scoop of rice cereal into the BM for two of my boy's feed per day, so far he's okay. also at the same time, my mum occassionally feed him small amount of thicken rice cereal paste using spoon, trying to get him used to spoon.
helena
I also got to attend a company talk on Sat for half day, but that place no place for pumping as well. So I think I will go off half-way the event during breaktime...
For your case, either like what your colleage say pump and throw, or use the cold water sterilisation method.

hi Helen,
My colleague told me if she finds the milk not so gd for her bb (as in the she is on medication or in bad mood), after pumping, she wld drink her bm herself. She is very particular on the quality of the bm given to bb. She said 1 hr b4 expressing, cannot get angry, scold ppl or get stress.
Otherwise, bm quality not good, not gd for bb.
desert,
mayb you shd try expressing out to bottle feed him 1-2 times a day so dat he can get used to feeding from teat?
