jomummy, from wat i understand, BM helps only during the period when u r breastfeeding. Once you stop, the baby is not "protected" anymore. |

kiston, thanks for informing..but im very confused now..doctors all encouraging us to breastfeed as long as possible just to protect them during when we r breastfeeding?
i've got a friend who only breastfeed 1mths and her supply also not much but her baby is very healthy..now already 5mth baby nvr fall sick before..also some other frens who don bf also their bb also seldom sick.. |

Jo's mummy... i think whether or not a kid fall sick depends on his/her contact with the outside world. like a kid on BM but at infant care will have higher chances to catch germs than a kid on formula who stays at home. once our babies stop drinking bm, they are totally on their own to fight the germs.
If i am not wrong, the "protection" from our BM comes in the form of prebiotics and we have to be directly latching for best effect. when our kid is sick, he "pass" the germs to us when BF-ing. we in turn make the antibodies and they drink it. OR the mummy falls sick and her body makes the antibodies which baby drinks. baby is not sick but with the antibodies already in his system, it helps him fight infection if it comes. the "protection" is not a magic anti-sickness pill, it is just giving our babies' immune system a helping hand.
oh i must admit BM is amazing. I think the chinese soup n tonic stuff also go to BM cos my boy was stronger when i consume chinese soup and tonic. when i stop drinking, he tend to have the sniffles. so now my parents keep stuffing me with soup again so my boy will benefit. i feel like a cow.. argh! |

yap yap.. the baby will have to fight themselves once bf stops. agree w sunshinebaby and don..
babies fall sick very easily when they contact other sick children. That's what my PD always say.
My boy also have problems here and there.. and i'm looking positive each time. Part and parcel of growing up.. :> |

hi dabin,
i'm a silent reader too. I've read that babies between 12-18mths, should slowly kick the habit of having morning naps, i.e. by 18mths, they should just be taking one afternoon nap a day (can be up to 2hrs). |

Minnie..
I understand what you are going through.. Bree is also very small sized. she is not even 9 kg as now that she is already 13 mths old..
she nibbles her solids but kept asking for milk... i was planning to wean her off now.. but her solid intake is still not stabilized so.. got to wait.
Re: Bunny baby..
we were hoping for one as well.. doesn't matter if its gonna be a girl or boy.
initially, we were planning to try after june... but got to postpone till Bree is more settled. if cannot get bunny baby.. then i won't conceive liao.. growing old.. no more energy. hahah.. |

Same as pigpig, I don't bf for long and so far her major is once.. and if small symptoms started kicking in, she will recover by herself..(also *touchwood*)
I think putting the kid to enjoy the external environment as often as possible under the sun with greens is good but do avoid the hotter time of the day..especially we are sleeping in aircon or with fan at nite. |

bb Jo can sleep better at night althou he still got a lot of mucus..he also got a lot of phlegm which when he cough, feel very irritating staying in his throat so he tends to cry as he dunno how to vomit it out. i know cough and flu will not so fast recover..just hope he will quick quick recover lor..think his weight will drop to less than 10kg.. |

hi mommies
wow the thread is moving fast, can't catch up. Can ask for some advice? My gal fell from my sofa about 3 weeks ago. Had a super big bump on her left forehead. The bump and bruise subsided after 1 week. Lately we noticed that spot where she hit her head is kind of "dented" in. Can such impact be so serious to cause a dent on the forehead? Should i bring her to the doc for a scan? I asked my PD before, he said as long as her appetite/behaviour, overall ok then there's no need to worry too much. But that time when i asked him we haven't noticed the dent because it's still bruised. I'm so sad that she has such "scar" on her face sob sob |

yuki29,
don't worry about things like that. bbs and kiddies actually heal very well as they regenerate injured tissue quite effectively because their bones/skin/connective tissue is after all still growing with them! don't worry about that dent - it will go away eventually. there are more serious things to worry about than a "scar" after a big bump on the head! your pd is right as long as she is behaving normally then it's ok. |

re: running/blocked nose
my gal had running nose for about 3 weeks during CNY period. Visited PD 3 times, on medication for 3 weeks till her running nose recovered. PD said she has sensitive nose. During that time the air was polluted with haze. It was a difficult time cos LO can't sleep well with blocked nose. I still let her sleep aircon room at night because the weather is too hot. PD said aircon is ok as long as it's not too cold for them.
re: bunny baby
i'm hoping for one too.. but i think hubby not ready yet. he said 1 already cannot cope.. how to have 2 haha
re: washing machine
i'm using ariston front load. is this brand still in existence? hehe. Bought this 5yrs ago and still in good condition. will throw my clothes and bras in the netted bags for washing. So far so good. Someone mentioned and i agree one disadvantage abt frontload is you can't open and throw more stuff in when it has started. Happens to me few times lolz. But heard that frontload can save more water.
re: HT cereals
I think i will stop giving my gal this for the time being. Bought Nestle Honey-Joy cereal but haven't let her try it. Anyone giving your LO nestle cereals?
re: classes
my gal starting her classes at GUG on 8th May, any mommy bringing your LO there too?
re: rejecting milk
my gal rejects milk once a while too. She loves solid and enjoys her solid meals. But sometimes she doesn't want to drink milk. So I'll just let her drink whatever amount she wants. After a few days or a week, she'll resume her milk intake. Is it because our LO is kind of sick of milk?? But after awhile it's back to normal?
My gal is about 10+kg coming to 14mths. Very tiring to carry her now. After carrying her for awhile i'll be catching my breath lolz |

yuki, actually when she fall down from the sofa and had a big bump u should hav already bring her to c doc..
still remember when bb Jo was only 3mths, he fall down from the sarong and had a big bump on his head right side..everyone cannot c de bump but only me..i tot its ok lar..then let it be..but then his baluku get worse getting bigger and darker..so i was worried n bring him to clinic to check. clinic refer us to KKH to do X-Ray. by then only doc found there is a minor crack line on his head...he say the line will heal by itself very fast as they r still growing but must make sure no falling at the same area again!!
so was admitted to KKH for 2days for them to observe if he got vomit or refuse milk..actually doc say he should b ok as its already pass 3weeks since the fall..if not..within 3days after the fall, if its serious, he should hav re-action already...
from that incidents onwards, i told myself tat if anything happened, i will straight away bring him to clinic/hospital to check. do not take things easy.. |

jo's mummy
ya i kinda regretted not bringing her to the doc immediately after her fall. Thought should be alright since she's ok after that. Went to PD only 5 days after the fall but didn't check on her bump thoroughly. PD said should be ok, didn't suggest any scan or x-ray. Now i won't take any chances of her falling.. my eyes glued on her every movement. By her side when she's walking and get ready if she loses balance.
pigpig
thanks for your concern.. she's fine except that little dent on her forehead. Hope it'll heal *cross finger*
reverie
thks.. now i feel much better after sharing and reading mommies' comments and advise. I felt so miserable past few weeks. I am extremely careful now, will not let her fall so badly again. Thanks to all mommies

longan reddates drink very good for replenishing blood. i have a contact for tcm, not eys. if you want, i can pass u the contact. you can also buy off the shelf tonic drink manufactured by the same company in most chinese medical hall. it's not a china product. It's manufactured in singapore. |

oh man, Kee juz went through 2 days of soft poo & vomiting but thank goodness all ok by today. the big discovery is that our medela lanolin which was some leftovers from breastfeeding was such a fantastic bum cream, the super red sore bum was healed in 2 days flat! super amazing, think its the ability to hold back the moisture from the constant rinsing at the showerhead. Imagine he pooed 12 times a day, poor kid's ass heheee |

yuki, I will bring bb to see doc first just in case of any regrets. But u dun have to worry too, cos my ger also got one scar on her face when she was few mths old, i am worried that it will stay there forever, but indeed it disappeared before turning 1.
Her head behind also got 2 soft like marble running about if you touch it. I am worried too..
But doc says it is actually born with it, it's nothing at all.
My baby has been cracky these few days. I am so regretted about the incident.
I brought her to my fren's baby party. And all my frens fed her with sweets and even gave her drink those packet of cold lemon tea. I didn't even stop them and think that they a ittle won't harm her. But i was wrong...
2 days later, she was down with mild fever, cough and flu. whenever we give her milk, she will throw out all.. she was scared of drinking milk cos she tot we are feeding her medicine. Last night was the worst, she cried and cried non stop. she was feeling pain. But not exactly knowing where.. ended up turned on the cartoon for her to watch and finally she stopped.
brought her to bed after watching tv, she slept shortly but with alot sound..she did not sleep soundly...
my poor baby.. |

hmmm i dont think it was the sweets n drink that harmed her... the drink maybe if she shared the drink with someone else who may be sick... past few days/weeks, quite a number of babies have been sick... Kirs is also sick... every medication time is a struggle... one have to cradle n pin her limbs... other pry open her mouth n feed meds... lolx...
*hugs to kayle* she will be fine.. dont worrie... u tk care too babe! |

Nestle is sweet. My ger rejected it. I dun like too cos got starch n sucrose. She love Heinz n bellamy rice cereal. Those plain n tasteless kind haha.
I think it is not e food that made ur child sick. It is whether they were shared. |

chicken is good.. as well as the fish and other dishes.. the glutinous rice.. so so..
went to Jusco to shop after the meal.. and snapped up 7 packs of Huggies Ultra selling at MYR29.90 each (exchange rate : SGD 1.00 = MYR 2.32, its SGD12.89 per pack).. a customer can only purchase 2 packs.. we had 6 adults.. so can buy 12 packs.. but only left 7 packs..

Nestle -
i try not to let my bb have too much of these cereals.. so sweet and they are processed food. but when you don have time to cook, these came in handy.
But i realise that my bb feels abit uncomfortable each time after eating the nestle cereals compared to porridge.. I'm not sure if it's too filling for him or is it because it's harder for him to digest. He will have difficulty sleeping after that. Still trying to figure out what is the exact cause. Anyone has the same problem? can advise? |

starflower,
I read from somewhere that toddlers bet 12-18mths tend to collapse 2 naps into 1.
Mummies, Do u know where to get curved spoons for our kiddos to learn self feeding? My boy is very keen to feed himself and managed a few spoonfuls each meals, but the spoon not so easy for him to spoon feed himself. |

hi kiston, you might want consider change to gluten-free cereals? e.g Heinz.
BTW, ever since my BB started taking porridge regularly, I stopped giving her instant cereals. Personally, I don't want her to take too much processed food. |

hi teddybaby, it is very interesting to watch tots self-feed! but prepare for the mess. I also have to look for very curved and bigger spoon for my LO. She can self-feed porridge, but 50% in the spoon goes into her mouth and the other 50% drop on her lap. HaHa... hubby ask me to get a small "chinese" spoon.
I've bought Pigeon "Spoon and Fork Set with Travel Case" which i felt is good as starter, as they are short so easier for tots to hold but the spoon is too flat so not useful for porridge, but the fork just nice for her little hand to pop food.
But my mum and I still spoon-feed her porridge while she at the same time will use the avent spoon to feed herself too! Hee... |

kiston,
My boy has no problems after eating any type of cereal, nestle included (and he takes the heavier Nestum too). But the thicker/stickier it is the harder it is to digest obviously.
All cereals are processed food. Doesn't matter the brand. |

BTW, this morning my LO got a cut when I opened the door halfway, she walked and hit on the edge of the door. She got a cut and bleed at her little toe. felt so guilty for my carelessness. She got hit by the door before which caused her to have a mole on her hand. Haiz... recently she already got a long cut on her leg; although the scar has healed but the brown scratch mark still there!!! i hope it will slowly fade off as she grow up. Sorry baby. |

i think your baby might have caught the flu bug from someone at the party? Hope your baby recovers soon and you take good care of yourself too ya.

i find nestle very sweet too. Don't dare to give her HT for the time being so tried nestle over the weekend. Though she finished it but i was thinking of stopping nestle cos of the sweetness. Prepared bellamy's baby macacroni yesterday. She's ok the 1st few spoons but then started to choke and gagged then don't want to eat it anymore. End up gave her nestle cereal. I realised she's not so good with not-so-mushy food. She chokes and gags on gerber's puffs, baby biscuits etc. But then, she eats rice without any problem and likes ritz bisscuits. So i'm puzzled why she'll gag on some food.
reverie
heinz and bellamy's rice cereal, is it easy to prepare? But bellamy is not available at ntuc right? i ever tried the pasta stars before and my gal doesn't like it. haiz headache.. wat else can i try beside HT cereals?? her lunch is porridge so i thought of giving her a different menu for dinner.
Lenny
S$12.89 for 1 pack of huggies ultra is cheap!!! I just bought 4 packs of dry comfort (red) from giant over the weekend at S$16+ per pack. I think I must find some JB lobang ;)
re: sleep
yes my gal is sleeping lesser in the day too. Used to take morning and afternoon nap about 1-2 hours each. Now only take morning nap about 1hr.. sometimes no afternoon nap. Then she'll fall asleep in the car when i fetch her home from my mom's place afer work.
Recently my gal will wake up crying from her naps. And sometimes in the middle of the night. Anyone experienced this?? Is it because they play too much before they sleep? Or nightmare? |

sayang your gal.. i understand how you feel. Did you put those door cushion thingy (sorry can't remember what it's called suddenly) at the bottom of the door? My friend told me to put it right at the bottom corner of the door to prevent LO's little toes from getting hit when the door opens/closes. I did that and i think it helps. |

oh ya mummies, my sis recommended me Organic baby oat which can be bought at ntuc. transparent packaging with green label. Cheap $3.50. I use that instead of giving her bellamy pasta star etc which is exp. She love it!
Usually i cook my porridge with veg, fish & stock for 10 min in Thermos. For oat, i put into the pot only after 8min. |

bellamy rice cereal, ht rice cereal come in handy too. i gave her 4 scope of ht oat and 2 scopes of bellamy rice cereal when we are rushing or inconcenient. jus add water to it. bellamy i bought mine at vitakids at forum. cheaper than cold storage etc.
My bb still taking 2 naps. mrng and aftn. vary from 30min to 2 hours each.

yah see how your LO goes lah. each type of cereal doesn't necessarily agree with all babies, esp as nestle is quite rich and heavy. i just give it here for lack of choice, but since he handles it ok and still likes bland/savoury stuff i just carry on |

same problem with my son. certain food, he will give that yuckz expression or choke on himself. I'm juz thinking maybe he needs more time to take in more solid stuffs. On the otherhand, will he not learn to chew his food if i continue to give him too mushy stuff? |

sorry mayb i'm not clear enough. It's those u-shape door stopper to prevent doors from slamming shut and LO's fingers getting caught in between. I placed one right at the bottom of the door too, to minimize the possibility of her toes getting hit by the corner of the door. The u-shape door stopper can be found in any shop selling baby stuff.
kiston
i have the same thoughts too...wonder if i always give her mushy food will she not know how to chew more solid food? But when i give her more solid food sometimes she gag and choke.. like so poor thing le.. Don't want to end up vomitting so will stop and go back to mushy food. |

missycandy, my girls are still drinking 4-5 times a day. They will wake up twice at night to drink. Same here, they don't chew, whenever i feed them chunks of food (be it fruits or meat), they will spit out the offending item. But if i puree the food, they will take it. how to train them?????? I find it weird that they love to eat rice and biscuits but yet hate to chew fruits and meat..dunno how their mini mind thinks.. |

sigh. meal plans means i have to sit down. do grocery list. pre cook, blend, freeze... cnt do fresh becos my mum not able to do so... currently, weekly il buy the mince meats, pack into small packs, into the freezer... the veggies... steam, blend, freeze... so everyday, my mum will put the rice, 1 pack of meat and 1 cube of veggie into the slow cooker for lunch and dinner for my girl... then i also tell her to add in the si shen powder... and cordyceps twice a week...
northvirgo - ya agree! kirs will dig her finger into her mouth if the mince meat is not fine enough... -_-" then spit it out... zzz... but rice no issues leh... noodles also okie leh... zzz... |

missy, you may try to feed the food not inside the mouth but near the teeth, let the teeth feel the food then they will try to bite/chew it.
bb Jo also likes to swallow food when i spoon feed him his porridge. he needs ppl to keep reminding him to chew then only he will chew. sometimes althou i ask him to chew he will just swallow. so i try to put the food at the front teeth area so that he can feel there is something in front for him to chew...
bb Jo also drinks 4-5times a day(weekdays) when my MIL takes care of him..sometimes she forgot the timing & feed him like only after 2-2.5hrs...i caught her 2times already when im around..I cant imagine when Im working, she actually forgot how many times & bb Jo drinks how many milk a day! |

bb Jo still hav a lot of mucus althou no more stuffy nose and also a lot of phlegm..really takes time for him to fully recover..hopefully he can recover before my long trip this weekend..kinda starting to feel guilty to leave him alone with ah ma..i will miss him badly...
recently he very sticky to me..after he fall sick..i think its separation anxiety, he only wans me to carry him, I cant do any other things..last weekend bring him out, after changing his diapers I went to toilet, i heard him crying so loud outside i tot he fall down or my husband scold or beat him, but when i asked my husband he say he dunno y suddenly cry so loud until i came out from toilet only he stopped..
bb Jo now can understand a lot of wat we trying to tell him or asking him to do, we can ask him to throw rubbish in the rubbish bins(sometimes will pick it up again after throwing**faintz**), ask him to sit down and wait while we take his porridge/biscuits, will turn to the side when i say want to put the baby powder on his back, and some very very simple instructions.. |
