wow, 4mth pre-matured. how long she stay in NICU? must be quite tiny?
re:jab.
is it true that even got cough cannot jab? my bb is due for his 2nd dose of 6 in 1 jab this fri. he got lot of pheglm irriating his throat. so per day, he tended to cough less than 5 times, dunno still can jab or not.
hmm why not walker...cos my mum luv to place bb in walker. I knew that walker is quite dangerous and might easily topple.
<font color="119911">Grace</font>,
oh...think wobbly tummy is part of the package that we had.
dun worry abt walking. y right, yr gar is 11mth (corrected age) only. my sil's daughter (full term at wk 39) only started to walk in her 17.5mth. so every bb are different.
did u try this method of making her to walk with confidence? ask hubby or whoever sitting or squatting facing u. then U hold yr gar and ask her to walk towards the other party. keep encourging her and praising her even she walked successfully for 1 step only. ensure her that the other party will reach her so to gain her confidence. we did this for my no#1 last time. it took us 1mth to train (haa that bec we wanted her to walk before the arrival of CNY). and she finally succeed with lots of encourgement and praises.
re:article.
when I started to read the article that tigger posted, i was wondering is it grace' gar. oh...then that's it. so touching to read the article but felt so sad too to see her tiny body all wrapped up. glad that yr gar is progressing well now.she 's so sweet looking esp her smile. may god bless.
any idea what cause yr preterm?

oh...no wonder u MIA for days....hmmm the photos of Danya feeding milk looks serious. my boy will not open his eyes during milk feed at SCN.
<font color="119911">Lin</font>,
oh, that's gd...progressing of yr gar. her weight will increase very fast one. like my boy last time, when he is coming to 1.9kg, his weight suddenly shot up by 60g per day that making me hardly believe and kept asking the nurse are u sure?
when bb back, my CL still ard for 2 wks so will 'throw' bb to her to look after cos I just discharged fr hospital (due to massive bleeding so went D&C) 1 wk ago after my bb is bck. so did not latch on for 2 wk until my CL went bck. I tried to latch on but it depends on my boy mood, sometimes gd, he will latch, but sometimes moddly, he wil scream cos milk flow slow causing him to be impatient, then he will gek until face red and sweat and then struggle. so give up latching and give ebm. anyway, fr march till 8/5, I will latch on my boy once a day at night before his bedtime at 7pm. fr 8/5 onwards, no more latching liao cos he dun want to latch and get impatient. also waste my time cos he will doze off after suck a few then still need to wait and wait. so might as well give bottle and let him drink full full.
just to share my experience when I had my no#1(she is a full term bb of wk 38). I latched on her for abt 4mth. I'm likke 24hr/7 milk bottle loh. my gar will drink and then doze off. then will feed either every half an hr or 1hr...siong right....I did not think of pumping out to let her drink cos I dun have pump that time. tough it is tiring, but the bonding between me and my gar is gd. till now, she is quite close to me.
for bm wise, my boy usually will drink 1 day behind milk.
ha all 'ah lao'(except exceptional case) are like that scare one...they tot we mummies very gd..we also learn from experience mah, why men cannot learn fr experience...hai...sigh.
are u a sahm? my boy neonatal doc said usually latch on, we can't determine how much they drink.so her advice is to top up with ebm after that.
re:weight
oh...my mum said when I go bck to work, sure slim down due to work stress etc....but hor, thik after having my no#1 2yr+ ago, think my tummy still bloated, dunno why. I did ask the gynae during my post-natal checkup why tummy sitll bloated. she say it is common.err....
re:skin.
same same. now after my delivery, my skin become more sensetive. rashes will break out easily.
re; bm.
did u pump? if so, how is yr quality of milk and how many time u pump? mine also not so much. for yr case, since yr delivery(6/4) till now, only 1mth+, so milk shd be slowly increasing loh. during my 1mth after my delivery, I cna only pump up to 40-60/80ml of milk only (every 3hrly). hmm...so fast, yr auntie reported liao..sian wor...when 'auntie' reported, it will affect milk flow.
what color is yr spotting? for me, my spotting(sometimes a bit more) after 1mth is fresh red. till 2mth+ then turn to brownish only...so mine dun really considered menses loh...
re:head.
old folks said just kept on placing yr palm ard the bb head and move ard. this will make their head rounder. ppls said place bb into yao lan then head will be rounder.

HX is a boy mah so shd be heavier than J. V different bec she is born at wk 34 so shd be heavier than HX. but now, J weight is heavier than HX liao.
my mum said no wind cos bb tummy flat flat leh. but still cranky. recently, when my mum clean HX's mouth, he like to chew or bit onto the towel.when wash his hair, he will turn here and there and look ard. wow piang, how to cut his hair like that....hmmm....at least, J is guai wor....
think HX prefer slp more than milk. now, dunno when he will wake up fr feed cos his last feed today is 0510pm (120ml).
hmm...J born 1/1 gd wor...can join the 07 bb to sch next time.
haa...HX same as J, think feeding him with b like poison. also waste my time too....just give ebm and make him full full.
yeah yeah, we 'promoted' liao....last time, we are the junior wor....
re:cough.
how bad or how is J coughing? HX dun really cough. it is bec he got lot of pheglm irriating his throat so tended to make him cough. but he only cough less than 8 times (i think) per day.
re
utside.
wkend, first time bring HX downstairs and to mrt staiton(10-15mins walk) before his bedtime and after his bath. he wanted to slp liao and cry. but when I said go gai gai and take him and my gar with out to buy ice-cream, he looked at me. once outside, wow....eyes big big like goldfish wor....kept looking ard like mountain turtle....haa same, came hm got night mares, think over-stimulated.
what medicine did PD give yr gar?
kidslink got lot of colorful decoration, that's why kids are more attracted to it. polyclinic also can use bb bonus card. I already used it liao. hmm...so cheap meh...consultation tot at least $40 and above and also depending on the time with the PD..kidslink at CCK charge $60 dunno for how long.
<font color="119911">Jas</font>,
oh...giving out ebm in NIUC so 'ma fan' one wor...hmm...why not ask the mummies to self collect loh...hmm why not buy cheaper milk bags. heard fr mummies thta blue egg (something like that) is cheaper. can purchase at BP.
hmmm tot kkh has the best term of professional than NUH. I gave up NUH cos they treated me like guina pig.
not only travelling part, taking care of our littles ones esp premiees also need lot of patient and attention. now my caregiver and my hubby so scared of feeding my boy cos feeding him is the major task. I can't imagine if he is on solid.
haa even fr my hse (west side) to kkh already very far liao...evne took cab also need 20-25mins.
sorry to hear yr loss of pregnancy experience. no offence, just wondering will tummy would be more wobby when one having twins right??
re:register name.
u need to request to change to register under yr boy name. if not, they won't change for u.
<font color="119911">Yan</font>,

<font color="119911">xbliss</font>,
as like yr boy, my boy also like hungry hippo when came out of the surgery. so doc just gave the green light to give him 20ml and he drank so fast that he cry for more.
<font color="0077aa">day-c</font>,
oic...I seldom massage b unless super engorge before pump. no wonder milk flow when pump so slow.
ai-yo...who say bb boy easy to take care? hai, my cow prince really stubbon ox....if compare to my gar, my gar much more easier to take care.
