Yes, I am on leave.
Cute ah? When they are well behaved and talking to each other while playing, it is quite cute lah. I enjoy listening to their conversation.
But when they fight for toys and start to fuss and throw tantrums.... my blood pressure will go up!
Jane
My throat is itchy. Started this morning. Hope u beta now.

Dun salute me lah. I agreed with you that going to work is really having some "free" time. Ha!
Trip was great. They boys love disneyland very much. When we were back in the hotel room and they were watching disney channel, Dylan said "I like Mickey Mouse and Chip & Dale. I dun like Barney now." Haha... the power of Walt Disney!!
It was very hot in the day and late afternoon onwards is more pleasant.
Yes.. took tons of pictures. I tried to load onto facebook when free. U can view from there.

We stayed in Disneyland throughout. It was so fun that we wanted to extend for another night. Called SQ and were told we need to pay additional USD400 in order to change the flights. Not worth it leh. So we came back relunctantly last Friday.
We went Tsim Sa Tsui.
DM
I am not so adventurous yet. I dread the flight from Singapore to FLorida.
Jane
Evans was ok. He zzz during take off for both sectors. Dylan made a lot of noise on the first sector because he refused to fasten the seat belt.

Hi all,
My 2 premature twin daughters are now 3.5months ago already. How times flies...Remembered the last when I posted in this forum, the elder one is still in NICU..haha..
Anyway, both their weight now is only 4.6kg and 4.2kg at 3.5months. I see the chart and its way below the percentile. Both is still on total breast milk now.
Can those experience mummies here advise at which age then will our premature babies weight be on par with the full term babies? Or it can never happen and they will be forever at a smaller size compared to those full-term? Like that if they go school like will feel inferior to their classmates leh...
And also wondering should I let them drink more formula to make them grow weight faster....

hihi - I am new here. I have yet to deliver my child but likely she will be born at wk 35-36 as she is not growing well inside due to previa.
Can someone advise the dos and donts with raising a premmie?
Also I heard they are more susceptible to infections and germs. Does this mean you do not celebrate their 1mth party to prevent infections? Please advise. Thanks.

mummy_yan,
congrats. dun worry 2 much abt their weights. i feel tat as long as they r growing (if i dun rem wrongly, in the 1st few mths, they must put on 1kg per mth). my ger followed the 'rules' closely initially..but now, she's still way way under-weight. she's 2.5yrs old & only 10.3kg!! haha. but her height is ok la. so she's juz skinny & bit small-size, but we r no longer worried. as long as she's eating, growing (though slowly), learning things, happy & (most importantly) healthy, we r satisfied alrdy
feed them,be it formula milk or breastmilk, as & when they want. my advise is, give breastmilk if possible. do not give up. u can beef them up when they r eating cereals..if u can give breastmilk, continue..
ruffles,
if you bb is alrdy 35-36wk, i'm sure all mommies in this forum will tell u hav NOTHING to worry
may not even need to b warded 4 long after birth. i think if the bb is borned small (size wise), he/she will b weaker intially, as compared 2 bigger size bb. but they'll catch up.
i personally think we shld treat our preemie as normal bb. but 4 myself, more determination 4 me to continue to pump breastmilk 4 her as i 'think' she may need breastmilk
more nutritious mah.

welcome here...
35-36 weekers although they are called preemies but i think preterm wld be a better term to describe them.....
hmm...tink for us who got preemies who were born really small, we took special care in the sense of making sure the home is clean, wash yr hands before handling baby etc..but even if handling full term bbs, the same rules apply.if bb is born and generally can breathe on their own etc and of good weight, they MAY be allowed to go home and so just treat them as normal
i got frens who had bbs at 35 plus wk..they had normal 1 mth celebration for their babies as per normal bbs..but of cse, dun let yr bb near to too many pple and of cse not near sick people/crowded places..tink juz the normal and common rules of raising a bb wld apply to a preemie..to which in anycase, yr bb cld just be pre term..
hp tis helps.....oh yes, must second wat dm say...bm is vy important, i tried my best to provide as much bm as possible till one year later had to stop as there wasnt much supply..can see the difference between my bm fed second son and my non bm fed son who is full term and 8 yrs old now...

Mummy yan, let me the eldest premature baby shares my own learning experience, though I am a bit slow in understanding (erm not sure if not knowing how to write "b" cause confused with "d" is counted during my kindergarten days), but I believe it has nothing to do with my prematurity. I was a premature baby borned 27 weeks. I have no problems learning n in my size. Dun worry k?
Mummies who have premature babies, my point is, we are just normal! we are not slow in development! Maybe initially, but we will catch up! Doctors have been saying after age 2, we will just be like normal children. Dun worry about us. And why shd we feel inferior?
If a mummy came to tell me: "my child is slow in learning, maybe due to her premature birth."(my student's mother) well I will be angry. Cause I think how can you blame everything on premature birth? Unless the doctors diagnosed the premature child as having some problems that will affect his/her future, else, the child is normal just like any other! I believe if the child is slow in learning, it could be due to environment factors, cause the mother doesn't even have confidence of her own daughter!
And mummy yan, I am 1.72m tall with a good weight. I am taller than a lot of full term babies, and bigger in size than them. I am def not smaller. When I was a baby, I was skinny, yes, and the kpo neighbours told my mum "this child will never grow", but yet here i am standing tall and big.
I do feel that we premature babies shouldn't be treated differently. We are just normal. 10 years down the road, no one will even bother whether we are premature or not, cause to them we just look, behave, and are the same.
My same advise to ruffles. Be it full term or not, newborn babies need extra care. It doesn't mean that only premature babies (Yours is def not, cause to us all 35-36 weeks is a blessing)are more prone to germs and diseases, right?
didi, wat dvds are you watching?
mich, wish i can bring my kids to disneyland too!
my dream.
btw, i am starting another pelangibooks spree, anyone interested to get? cause like no business. me want to get some chinese workbooks, and to complete my set of books.

Thanks Costa & KKF! Really appreciate your advise. Just that when the doc told me my ger is not growing well despite me being on bedrest and eating like a pig, and so have to take her out earlier.. doc predicts she will only be slightly less than 2kg at birth... I felt my whole world come tumbling down.
Am sure my case is nothing compared to mummies here who really have premmie premmies. Hope I din cause any distress ;(

kkf, thanks for sharing your own real life as a premie experience. Very motivating to us as premie's parents. Just to share with you, I am a full term 8.4pounds baby (big hor, but see my size now....petite, even doc. asked...what happened to you now? haha). When it comes to writing in my kindergarten day, I can't even write one properly, instead of doing a vertical downstroke, I write it from bottom to top, my aunt caned me so many times for that....then chinese character "hand", instead of ending with a thick point left, I had it pointing right.... to conclude, you are right to point out that premie and full term children learning abilities are the same....and we all learn through mistakes.
hi mummies,
i'm planning for bryan's b'day on 12 oct and need some ideas. thinking of bringing him for a fun day out (read: short and fun! ha.. too long and the parents will suffer!!)
1. any baby gym that provide one-off playing for babies?
2. zoo got alot of mozzies a not?! i also think he is too young for it, is he?
3. can he eat his b'day cake?! worry about egg allergy, and all that stuff that goes into a cake!
tks!
mummyan,
your gals are doing really fine! bryan is still less than 7kg at 11mths!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I actually meant inferior in terms of size, but not the learning lah...I heard premature babies tend to be smarter..haha...

<font color="0000ff">Costa,
Dun know leh.. Somehow rather, whenever craydon is sick, I will start regret that I didn't give him much breastmilk as he needed..
DM,
I watched an episode on Tyra Bank Talk Show about breastfeeding, there is a champion mummy who breastfeed her 2 daughters till 8yo!!! There was a video clip showing her 8yo daughter sucking on her breast for milk!! When I thought my hubby's colleague's wife is hardworking for still breastfeeding her 1.5yo son, now that I saw the mummy on the programme, I salute to her.. </font>

Hi all, wow, glad to see so many posts!!!
mummy yan, reassure you again, no worries about size. My colleague who was premature, 27 plus weeks too, twins (her elder sister died at birth), she is just the right size. My student (the one I told you the mummy blamed her poor results to her prematurity), she is a tall gal playing basketball!
Dun worry. I am one fine example, standing tall, and good weight lor (I wish I can be more skinny, haha!!)
You all made me guilty. I breastfed dash for 3 months only leh (somemore is partial breastfed).
For my next baby, i am determined to breastfeed for at least half a year (hopefully got supply).
ruffles, no worries leh, no distress. Your babies really good gestation age liao, dun worry. all the best!
Powergal, can lar, I remember I let dash just eat very little bit (like yi si yi si).
bloom and costa, thanks, but mine is not incompetent cervix. Wish is that, but not.
cause my gynae said i experienced contractions before my cervix opened, so not incompetent cervix. Dr ann tan had mentioned that she will stitch up for me if necessary, but till now, 4th months liao, she still never mention. Think my case is really not incompetent cervix.
xbliss, wow, think maybe a 1 year old will not enjoy so much with zoo? gym maybe.
dm, good news? yeah yeah, gynae said I shd be expecting a gal! yeah yeah!
got to go makan.

HI kkf,
Yaa actually I shld be very contented that both my twins made it. Heard many stories from friends and my gynae that during the premature birth, either 1 of the twin couldnt make it to see the world..it was really sad to know it.
My elder one also had a fight with her life because her placenta split suddenly and that causes my premature birth altho the mei mei is still growing well in the tummy. Jie jie is the weaker one coz everytime take jab she will got slight fever. Meimei seems to be stronger. But I can see jie jie had a strong will power as she was sick for 2 weeks when I brought her home from NICU after fews weeks. Kena flu virus but she managed to fight off the virus and is a happy baby now (this makes me wan to breastfeed even longer)..
Both are fine now and seeing them from 1+kg grow until 4+kg, now learning how to flip and beginning to have a sense of sight and touch, and also keep similing away, my heart really melts! ^_^
Yaa actually I shld be very contented that both my twins made it. Heard many stories from friends and my gynae that during the premature birth, either 1 of the twin couldnt make it to see the world..it was really sad to know it.
My elder one also had a fight with her life because her placenta split suddenly and that causes my premature birth altho the mei mei is still growing well in the tummy.

re bm
yes I agree BM is not the main factor, also depend on the kids. my hubby is BM fed and his sister is not, she had FM all the way. hubby gets sick quite often as a child and even when older till now age 30. has asthma and allergies. sister is more healthy. I was v suprised to know this.. my Nada seems healthy, even more than hubby Thank God.
kkf
me same as u, not breastfeed as long either.my target was 2 yrs somemore.. sad and hope to rectify that..6 months sounds gd

Wow wow... A gal! Congrats again.

You started your leave?
Bloom
Maids - it depends on your priority.
My main criteria is she must be married with children so that she knows how to attend to the basic needs of children.
Not important whether she can cook or not. All my maids dun cook. My mum or i will prepare the food.
Housework - Can be trained.
No such thing as how to choose a good maid.
It depend on your LUCK!

I think Bryan is too young to enjoy zoo.
Gym sounds more suitable. You can call them for trial class (you pay for one session).
How about Gymboree? At Tanglin Mall and Forum Galleria.
If you google "baby gym classes", i am sure you will see a long list
Have fun.

thanks thanks! didi yah, will name her "violet".
I dunno its like a dream come true. haha, i am beginning to worry that next scan turns out otherwise, i will faint.
but you are right dm, as long as bb healthy boy or gal doesn't matter. actually i am just hoping for my previous 2 pregnancies both boys all premature, so if i have a gal now, the outcome may be different, as i have read somewhere gals stay in the womb longer and can fare better.
