Hi mummies
Mothercare at suntec city is having a sale up to 70%.I bought quite alot of clothes there for my boi last sun.For fashion wear,it's 40% for 4 pc and above.If purchase more than $100,additional 10%.As for the sleepwear, only 20%.Alot of small sizes left.Big sizes are mostly gone.But I buy what my boi can wear now.I notice that my boi shoulder quite small.So he can wear size 0-3 months and 3-6 months.

costa,
yr boy is probably signaling to u that he's ready to bottle by pulling the tube off.
he'll definitely better his drinking skills... esp after receiving mummy's gigantic ang bao! heehee
jolene,
personally, i feel there's not much difference in stage 1 & 2 FM. just go with your instinct.
my boy was on stage 1 FM till 9 mths corrected & stage 2 FM till 15mths corrected.

costa,
9kg is not underweight but he seems quite bone-ny, no chubby limps like most bb.
he did reach 9.3kg before xmas. the last weigh at PD's 2 weeks ago, he was only 8.5kg.
i did standby neosure when i TBF in the early months.
then at follow-up, neonat says not necessary to give cos he was at very good weight/height ratio.
so after finishing 1 small tin, i just move on to stage 1 FM.

Dr argawal told us last time to let baby drink neosure till 1 year old then switch to normal milk.
Anyway, have asked my hubby to buy mother n baby jan issue for me when he came back from work...
Talking about new year...hmm have bought quite a lot of new year clothes for my boy.
Tend to feel that I want to give him the best since he already loses out to other babies at the initial stage. I don't know, I keep having this feeling. Whenever I saw my friends gave birth to healthy and full term babies, I will really envy them... I will think why I could not be like them, carry babies to 40 weeks? I will feel that my boy is losing out to other normal babies...
How can I get rid of this silly feeling?

hi costa,
hehe..don't worry. your boy will bottle up soon --cos he looking forward to the giganitc ang bao (like what yvonne say)... ;p
kkf -- me did not manage to get the january issue too..
and about the feeling you have. i think...i think...from my point of view, my boy is still so young (corrected as at 2 mths)..your boy has come so far, compare to my boy... so... to me, your boy is like normal baby. he is not losing out to other baby
you see...he is learning to walk..so cute...
i know its not easy not to compare (my husband always compare). but well, to each children, each will lead a different life.
our baby...just have a different starting thats all.
there is no need to purposely rid of this silly feeling. i think even when our baby all grow up into adults....we will still have this feeling.
but there is really dun need to be envy... cos...should not we salute our baby for their strong fighting will??

good morning, all,
jane, my boi kena cough...dun wanna drink milk...and not in good mood...
i gave him a bit of the ba bao shan...
kkf,
i cant get rid of the sad kind of feeling and cant help but feel overprotective of my kid...last time i even told the nurses that tis boi of mine wld never be beaten by me because of all the hardship he has undergone at such a young age...i worry about his health incessantly..
i remember i even went to ask the gynae who delivered my kid and even the professor when i happened to see them at kkh whether my boi can be exempted from NS...they looked at me and said "ai yah, you shld be happy he is not exempted, that shows he is a fit and healthy kid, dun tink so far"
and that time, he has not even been discharged...i think i think too far into the future when we are not even sure of wat tomorrow brings...so lets just take one day a a time....
Sometimes wat we want is not sympathy but empathy but just cant help feel that pple look at me wif sympathetic eyes when i dun want/dun need them to....

afternoon ladies...
jane,
don't think he'll make Mr Fit Singapore... not with our genes! hehehee
i'm happy as long as he's not at either extremity.
just 1 of my typical parental view that bbs are cuter when they're slightly chubby but not the michelin baby type lah.
my boy didn't hv the baby looks for long, he looks like a little little boy... a common statement echoed by relatives/friends.
kkf,
i can understand how u feel. it's like an cause & effect of our "shorten" pregnancy & we want to make up to bb.
not think or brood too much, the feeling will go away as you watch bb grow & move along the development milestones.
i too started out extremely protective & paraniod abt him but over time, i learn to let go as he strive for his own independence (crawling, walking, etc).
Our over-protectiveness will only hinder their development. bb needs our guidance more than anything else.
costa,
looks like this cough virus is very aggressive & long life...
can't seem to complete get rid of it... take care of kiddo more.

hi mummies,
i found this discussion is cosy, as i feel exactly as wat kkf mentioned abt our preemie, i over-protect him, avoid mentioning abt his premature birth, worry abt his development physically n mentally, feel envy when others give birth on full term and keep asking the question 'y me...'
but, now i see my boy at 9 mths, active n happy, developing as others, can sit, crawl, learning to stand, understand us a bit wat we r talking abt, know how to reject things he dun like n express his happiness when he get the chance to play or go out... i feel contented. like wat Jane said, they juz hav a different start than others. i believe with such a difficulty at the beginning, they'll be more prompt to harder environment n act strong in the future.
when i look back, the period was tough, but it actually trained me to be stronger, tougher and improve the bonding within the family. it oso makes me remember of 'nothing is granted' in tis world, be appreciative on watever i hav.
juz my 2 cents worth. wish all hav a nice day!

Hi,
So sorry, late reply to all the friend.
This two day was so busy, my 2nd twins Bryan always reject the milk, give him milk always cry and cant finish in 120ml. Drink till half he cry, I need ti carry him and walk around, then he will drink a bit, how? I really dont know what to do, he never gain the weight from sunday until now. Antyone can help me?
Actually I am the brave mum, I am also feel very weak when I take care them , what I can do is control myself, if not, all my family member will worry abt me...
Really thanks for all the wish and advice. We are the best brave mum..
Hi, Yvonne,
Thanks for your advice, I will continue the LF and will check with doctor again next month when do the injection. Do you facing the same problem for your prem baby of drink milk and weight problem? how's you think of my baby weight?
Costa,
you must be strong, I also facing the problem when I take care my baby in hospital, I need to give 2 baby the milk through tube, I never ask nurse help, cos I must learn..It was so sad when I look at them, I try to give my 1st twins using bottle, but his face always turn to purple colour, cos his lung was not strong, his lung cant support to breath when he drink the milk, he was so slow, 30ml always finish in 1.5hour, untill the milk turn cold and cold, Bryan always cry cos he was hungry as i haven finish give the milk to Terry, on that time I feel I was useless, I cant take care of 2 boy, if they go back I also dont know how to do, Nurse always scold me say give terry the milk so long, they want to give him tube again, but I am not agree, after that I change the turn, I give Bryan first, cos bryan still using tube, sometime he use cup, quiet ok, faster than his brot.After that I will give terry slowly slowly. every time i spend alot of time at ward, never sleep at all a day, because they took milk abt 2 hour, example i give them 12pm, after finish already 2pm, go ward and pump milk again, eat lunch, sometime never eat too, 3pm, need to give them milk again, whole day like that.
But, got One day, the doctor say maybe can try to let my terry try the pump the medicine for his lung to be more strong, after try 2days, was better, he can took off the oxygen tupe and breath himself, ( he already 1.7kg) and he canm finsh the milk in one hour, after a few day he can finish in less than 1 hour. Now he was the strong boy who drink the milk in 160ml, faster than his brother bryan. This is just my experince.
I haven get the mum baby magazine yet, I will ask my hubby to get for me.
I really like this chat place, but some time really busy of 2 boys here. only can check the mail when they sleep. Now they wake up again.
Bye. take care all the mummies

Hi Jacelyn,
My dd at 8months (6months corrected) now has been drinking 120ml of eBM since she was 4months til now. Give more, she'll scream. She's now 8.1kg. So I think u dun have to worry if he can't finish drinking the 120ml.
I suggest giving lesser ml but increase the frequency like maybe 2hours. Try not to compare between the tewo brothers. They are both individuals lah. I ever saw in the clinic a set of twins. One is very obviously smaller than the other.

Hi Yvonne
I forgotten how I was like when I was very young. But I remember I couldn't write "b" during kindergarten and my teacher threw my book across the classroom, haha. I am quite slow in learning, but I am hardworking! hee
But not to worry, I am slow in understanding, but eventually will understand by exploring myself.
Physically, I am 1.7m tall, and weight (ermm secret, haha!). So not to worry about physical development. I can jog and run like everybody else, but recently got quite weak after giving birth, guess because I never do my confinement properly, busy visiting baby at NICU...haiz.
My mum said I used to be very cranky at night when I was a baby, cried and cried till 2am, until my dad wanted to throw me in rubbish chute. haha.
Hi mummies, I used to worry about my son, whether he gains enough weight, whether he drinks enough etc. Right now, still worry, ,but guess its normal! My boy used to drink very little too and got a period of time, even refused milk! I was soooo worried during that time, could only feed him when he was asleep. When he was awake he will struggle. Brought him to YU GUO for tui na somemore to increase his appetite. Still remember those days!
Now, he is having quite a good weight of 10.5kg at 15 months. He slowly drinks milk again after that period of time.
So mummies, dun worry!

hi kkf,
that's a typical growing up period...
tho born full term, i was also slow in learning, was & still cranky (at times), and physically i'm shorter than you!
it's a natural fact that mummies will worry every bit about kiddos... as long as we're still alive & kicking.
hi jacelyn,
as long as your twins are happy the way they are, don't worry too much abt the weight.
our kids start off on the small built side but never under-estimate their potential when puberty hits them!

Hi mummies
Sorry for not coming in here for sometime as my boi admitted to hospital again.He hv alot of phelgm and could not breathe properly.Oxygen level was really low.Doc could not find anything wrong except suspect that he may hv reflux.Hiaz....I don't know wat to do.Alot of pp ask me to seek 2nd opinion but how to?He is still in hospital.Doc may want to do a probe test to see whether his passage way is properly developed.Anyone seeing KK doc?My sis ask me to go KK.Mine is at NUH.

morning mummies!
hi costa,
my boy still has little bit of cough & phlegm. like ding dong ding dong.. ok for 2-3 days, then it comes back again.
still on inflammide & even finishing the TCM cough mixture... sigh... still no sign of full recovery.
maybe i'll just stop everything by fri, give him a few days to see if any further improvement anot.
how's yr boy? is he his usual self?
ya, i'm also like u at wit's end...
even my own cough mirrors his; ok 3 days, cough 2 days...

hi puppy n costa
My boi was breathing very very hard until his head is going up n down.Then his eye balls are not focus.He cried non stop also.Normally he don't cry so much.
yes,the doc is going to do a PH probe test like wat costa has mentioned.According to the doc,they told me if small amt of milk goes to the lung,it will produce phelgm.That's wat I was told.

Yvonne,
my boi oso same thing like yr boi...ok for a while and then come back and then not okay again..
hope your boi and you recover before cny....
i juz went to eys and bot some more ba bao shan...
Jolene,
i wonder how they can test if the milk had gone to the lungs just by doing the probe?i had let my boi drink using bottle so i wonder how do we noe if the milk has gone into the lungs and whether this was causing the phlegm or not? i really wonder and tink if any mummy can help me to answer tis question?
how long must he stay in hospital? hope his breathing has stabilised already..did the doctor say after doing the probe test must stay how long in hospital? did you manage to get another opinion?

I din't get 2nd opinion coz doc refused to discharge my boi.Say if discharge got phelgm problem again,my boi will be very serious.Thus,they would like to do the test 1st b4 confirming wat's wrong wif my boi.
As for staying in the hospital,I don't know how long.Btw,in KKH do all the babies have their own ward or mixed wif other children wif different age?NUH is mixed,that's why I don't like.When my boi is better n discharge,I may go to KKH to seek 2nd opinion since he is "stuck" in NUH now.

Hi Jolene,
I new to this forum. I had a twins a boy & girl. Their corrected age is 2 mth only. There also had the problem with phelgm.
I gave birth in KKH, so when i start to notice my boy had phelgm & cough i brought him back to KKH also. He was admitted 1 day & the next day he was discharge cos the lung is clear. But until 2day he still had the same problem. No solving to it juz hope as he grow the phelgm thing will go away.
KKH is the same as NUH small babies stay in the same ward as young children as old as secondary children.

hi mummies
I'm juz back from NUH.Done the PH probe test,result will be out 2morrow.As for the phelgm thing,my hubby ask the TCM doc and say tat usually premmies will hv such problem.They recommend let the doc advise wat happen 1st b4 bring him to TCM doc.But he say in long run if phelgm is not suck out,usually it will become asthma.Not sure how true.Our doc at NUH recommend us to have suction pump so that we can suck our bb phelgm.
