mummylian, u go gal! still bf edel!! i gave up on bf after 9 months cos bryan not appreciative of the milk!!! he didn't like bm and each feed is really a pain even when bottle feed. now change to friso and phew... it's rare to hear tis, but i believe he was very upset with me becos he wanted to latch and i refused... a lot of fight going my breast area each time the feeding time reached.. keke.. the sure know how to follow smell!!!
yan,
pls dun think like this. i think some ppl generally cannot produce that much bm. there are many bbies who take formula right from birth, and there is no evidence to say they are weaker too. i used to express in nicu/scn with bryan's neighbor's mummy and she always have hard time squeezing out the precious 50ml.
like didi i did 3hourly even at 3rd month too.i only switched to 4 hourly at 4th month. when supply established, i did 3-4 hourly in day time and only once or twice at night. hang in there!!!
purebliss
congrats! good birthweight!
bloom
thanks thanks! he did fire the cardiac centre but we insisted he goes back for a 1 yo review ultimately... just to get assurance..
shellow,
can u get advice from paed? pneumococcal works in a way you have to take for 4th, 5th, 6th and 9th month in order for it to be effective. if u miss this schedule, u have to wait for 1 yo i think, which is a really long time from now. and pneu is a really common illness, so prevention is better than cure. I think it is slightly different for kaydon he still needs a little help with the oxygen level at times whereas for paige, she should be stable already right? my boy din get fever though paed advised he might. he was ok for all 3 jabs, except for the 1yo which he hasnt taken. and he took all the jabs according to this chronological age, which means he took the first jab when he was only 2 months corrected.

Sorry to ask hor... Wat is croup??
Ezann oso in her terrible 2. But hor, when I brought her to Japan, many ppl in the same tour group say that she is very well behaved
Mayb my treshold is smaller??? S Little Ezann knows quite many words now.. Love to imitate ppl esp the 2 kor kor. Always inputting nonsense to her. I love to hear her saying mei mei oih oih ( sister sleeping)
Wow, it must have been tough to be shuffling yourself thru without helper.. my helper jus renewed her contract for another 2 years. Thank God for her
Costa
Indeed the MRSA unit was cosier n more conducive for our little ones.. Guess tat's how they really recuperate more
kkf
Hmm.. prior to my waterbag bursting, i notice i have more discharge (whitish one).. N guess wat, I never had my water bag bursting for my 2 boys! Tat's my first experience too. Jus wanna share that I jus read the motherhood magazine about a mum n she had a premie due to her weak womb.. Her gynae asked her to 'strengthen' the cervix??? by stitching through an operation when she was in her 4 months... Din know u could do that... n she delivered the bb in 37 weeks
Xbliss
Hee... ok la.. thankfully still has the energy to express for edel
but hor i think the determination that I have for Edel in all aspects seems to be a little lesser as compared to Ezann... Must try to balance myself for that

Hello here i am nearly 3am. Actually since I got pregnant, can't sleep really well, keep waking at intervals. Just now woken by a bad dream, must distract myself, else will continue to get a bit panic.
Smiggleprincess, I agree, neosure is good. I stop breastfeeding since 3rd month, and my boy was on neosure since then. That forumla really helped him to gain lots of weight. no lobang leh, neosure is never on discounted price, cause not a common formula. But safer to buy from singapore, hee, after the milk chaos in china.
Mummylian, I have been resting a lot (stop working) since I know I am pregnant. Mine is not incompetent cervix i think, else my gynae will have stitch me up long time ago. She is still observing. I really hope my problem is as simple as that, incompetent cervix, which magazine was that?
More whitish discharge, I have more yellowish sticky discharge recently, and I got a bit of concern. I called up my gynae, the clerks there told me as long as not smelly its ok, but still I am worry. I remember when I was about to give birth to dash, i had some abnormal discharge too, though not yellowish, but a bit of blood stinged discharge. I was very sure that time it was mucus plug, but the gynae thought nothing about it. sigh...
now I really dunno whether to believe in myself or otherwise.
Jane, it will be over soon. I used to think when it will end too. But now as dash is getting bigger, things are more ok now.
daec, yah yah, trying hard to think positive. But really, if there is a medicine that will let me forget about the past, will take it, and think I will be happier.

hi mummylian (your PM is disable?)
What is Croup?
Croup is a common viral infection of the upper airways. The virus affects the windpipe (trachea) and the voicebox (larynx) causing inflammation and narrowing of the airways, and hence difficulty breathing.
It usually occurs in young children between 6 months to 3 years of age, but it can affect kids up to 6 years old.
Symptoms of Croup.
The child may start by having a runny nose and fever and then progress to have noisy breathing, hoarse voice and a loud barking cough. It is important that parent recognize when croup becomes an emergency. This is when the child looks very sick (toxic) and tired and is having very noisy breathing (stridor) at rest. Another sign that it is very serious is when you look at the chest and you can see the ribs prominently when the child is breathing in (retractions). These are signs that you need to seek medical attention straightaway.
What usually happens in cases of mild Croup?
Mild Croup can be treated without hospital admission. The illness may last around 5 days with the first 2 days being the worse. The child does not need antibiotics since it is a viral infection.
Can Croup be dangerous?
Severe croup can be rapidly fatal as the passage of air in the voice box and larynx get so narrow that the flow of air into the lungs is severely limited. The child will need to be treated immediately with a procedure to put an airway tube into the throat so as to ensure that air can get into the lungs.
What to do?
In the Singapore context where clinics are readily available, it is best to just bring your child to your family doctor if you suspect your child is having Croup. If it is severe, bring the child straightaway to KK Children's emergency. However, if it is a mild case, Croup can be treated at the clinic. The doctor can give a immediate dose of steroids which can have amazing results. The child may improve markedly within 1 to 2 hours after giving the medication and can then be looked after at home. However it is important to note that the child should be observed closely over the next few hours to make sure the condition does not start deteriorating again.
The doctor may prescribe some fever medication and simple cough and cold syrups for the child. It is also useful to prop the child up and help the child relax by watching some TV or reading a book. Moist air can also be useful. You can do this by turning on the hot shower in the toilet for a while before giving your child a bath or by using a humidifier.
Conclusion
Croup is a common illness affecting younger children. It is usually mild and can be treated at home with the help of your family doctor. However, there are some instances where Croup can be so severe that the child will need to be admitted to hospital. So it is important for parents to be able to recognize severe Croup and seek medical attention immediately.

Happy children's day to all our children! may they be happy always and forever!
Smiggleprincess, there is really no discount for neosure at the major supermarkets because they are the minority powder, so no discount. I think malaysia is selling, and could be cheaper. I remember a mummy bought from malaysia before. But then, i think singapore is safer.
You may want to try emailing to abbott and ask if they will offer discount if buy in bulk?
Xbliss, and daec, thanks for the suggestions but me not able to go anywhere. so think i can't approach a doula.
happy birthday to craydon and bryan! soon, will be dash! hee.
Yan, sorry i forgot how long i pump. I never really time. I just pump enough and will stop.

hello mommies,
i'm back.. so many posts to catch up.
had a wonderful/terrible holiday in bali. the villa we stayed in was fantastic. with 3 individual villa/rooms & 2 swimming pools. we reached there on fri evening & ws wanted to go swim alrdy. told her will do so in the next few days.
went for a day tour on sat, n tat's the starting of my terrbile tour. hubby & ws went into a shop @monkey forest. when they came out, ws was complaining itchy. we tot it was normal, those kind of itch u'll get when u r sweaty? when we got into the car, hubby's arms & body flare up.. n it looks like hives. in the evening, ws' legs oso flared up.
since we do not trust the docs in bali, we juz applied some insect-bite cream 4 her. but she was soooo uncomfortable & complaining abt the itch all day long. trying very hard to stop her frm scratching.
she was ok when distracted, but during meal times, will start whinning & crying. poor girl. during sleep oso like tat. sigh.
did not manage to buy anything 4 myself. no mood 2 shop. didn't eat a lot 2. cos ws take super long 2 finish her meal. by the time she finished, either the food cold alrdy, or i no appetite 2 eat alrdy. think i lost weight this trip
came back last nite & immediately went to c doc. doc gave med & cream 4 her & finally, we all can hav a good nite sleep last nite.
however, do not b discouraged by my bad experience. bali is a very nice place 2 visit. the pple r nice & friendly. the place is clean & beautiful. prob will go again in a few yrs' time.

Hi Mummylian, I am seeing my gynae at Mount Elizabeth, dr ann tan.
Hope everything goes smoothly for you!
Me getting a bit worry about my weight gain leh, how? I have been gaining 12kg and now only about 19 weeks. I have been eating too much in 1st trimester, and also not moving about keep lying down and sitting down, so gain a lot of weight! sigh...
Now I only hope my baby gains weight too!
I really wonder how I am going to shed off the excess weigth after delivery, and how to regain my stamina cause after resting for so long n not moving much.

mummylian, my gal is 22.5 months old (actual), abt 21 months corrected...
jane..hehehe.. not bad..still can survive for 2 weeks w/o maid... how is the new maid? Croup sounds scary.. and hor.. i suspect alot of GPs might not know how to handle it.
I take abt 1 hr each for pumping... 4 hrs interval..so can imagine how impossible it is for me to pump in office.... so in the end decided to stop...
xbliss, for blocked ducts try latching bb on... more effective than pumping...

wah, quite a few mummies pump about 1hr per session. last time i used to pump 1hr too, the lactation nurse told me to pump 30min. but sometime i still pump till 50min else the amount will be very pathetic..
thinking of asking for 3rd course of medication to increase the supply..hmm...

I have one actually, but its a box type, very ugly to bring along when travelling by mrt or bus, so i got myself the tote bag type, at least not so ugly. hee.

croup to me (its the 2nd espisode siang had) is scary indeed. and... i probably won't bring him to GP, will head to KKH for anything serious. for flu and runny nose, right now siang is seeing GP lor.
smiggleprincess
my mum was nice to volunteer to look after my son when she know he arrived early. for domestic helper, maybe it would be good to have a elderly at home. i hope you find a workable plan soon

hi Jane
coup sounds scary. Nada is sick now with cough, diarrhoea and flu.
shellow
$100 extra coz premature ? I wonder what's her justification ? me thinks take care of premature is more worry but sometimes its also mindset as fullterm baby is tough too.
Paige looks alert
kkf
cooler bag ? yikes I dun even want to thk abt that though part of me mentally thinks if kena again, must buy gd pump and pump pump pump regularly. be more diligent and less worry that previous time.
