Regarding Sore Bum..
two days before.. Bree had a hard time pooing.. Her poo was so hard and it got stuck.. i had to use my fingers to pull it out for her..
Bree screams in pain and i saw a few drops of Blood.. think there is a tear caused by the hard poo.. she refused food and insisted on eating biscuits, slice cheese, bread and garlic toast throughout our trip to Philippines. Despite feeding her lots of water, this still happens.
i applied California Calendula cream on her after i bathe her.. the next day.. the redness was gone and the second application.. she was alright..
these few days.. she did eat her porridge..i think she knew that she can't eat biscuits anymore.. now her poo is back to normal.. thank god!! |

Hi scrumpee,
can you post your review of Eager Beaver after your visit : ) Just to share, i had visited Art Kidz a few months back and liked their non air-con environment as well as the fact that their teachers looked friendly and professional. But i am not still not sure if they warrant the premium which they are charging - its abt $900+ for full day. thanks in advance  |

Jenn
my doc told me if want a boi do during ovulation. Meaning 28 days cycle then 13 days onward. Another way to increase e chance is to buy alkali solution n wash e part.

Reverie and Pinksorbet
Take care and have lots of rest. hope you pass this trimester soon and can eat and eat. I am entering my 39 weeks liao, tummy so heavy and back aching badly, pelvic also pain. I didn't had so much 'pain' when I had my no.1.
Pink
Yes, my no.2's english name not related to no.1 cos both hubby and I can't agree with the names chosen. But we both like Kimberly, so we pick it. But chinese name is related. My no. 1 is Jing Yu and no.2 is Jing Lei.
Childcare recce
Just went to recce 3 childcare today:
1. Art Kidz
Teacher/student ratio is good, 1:6. Place look airy and clean. Kids have chance to expose to Eng/Chinese/Jap language. They have 70 over students and about 34 are Chinese, the rest all Jap or other nationals. Price is expensive though, $900 for full day and no subsidy because they are not license under MCYS but MOE and the full day class ends at 3.30pm, will be tough for working parents..how to pick the kids up at 3.30pm?
2. My First Skool at Henderson Road
This is by NTUC, the less premium brand. (the premium brand is My Little Skool or The Little Skool, can't remember the name). Wow...many kiddos cramp together and the bathing/toilet area is just beside the area where they hold classes...I find it very cramp and not very hygenic. The kids were having lunch when we were there, the rice look so plain, like eating white rice with water. Teacher ratio is 1:8. Is cheap, only $315.25 after subsidy and is just one street away from my new place. But we don't like the environment.
3. Eager Beaver Schoolhouse at Bukit Merah Swimming Complex
The place is very spacious and each class has an individual room unlike My First Skool or Arts Kidz whereby the classes are separated by low drawers and cabinets. The bathrooms and toilets are also separated. Teacher ratio is 1:8. Curriculum wise, pretty similar to the rest, got nap time, lunch time, water play, etc. Price is affordable too, $400 after subsidy. Full day class ends at 7pm
After seeing 3, Hubby and I decided on Eager Beaver on the spot. So my boy is likely to enroll in Jan/Feb 2011 when he is 22/23 mths. Would like him to enroll earlier but too bad, is full now.
Ann,
hope I answered u.
They only have 5 slots left when we recce today, so after reserving a place for my boy, left with 4. Go check out quickly if you are interested |

They told me right now, they can only offer subsidy to 5 local kids and all the 5 slots are taken up. And if locals want to sign up despite not having the subsidy, they will give special discount of $150.
So for my boy, what I intend to do is to sign him up for Bibinogs or Julia Gabriels for 1 term for Sat classes when he finished his Gymboree lessons. After that, rest 2 mths, then go to Eager Beaver full day in Jan/Feb |

Baby stickiness; does anyone's little tot complain about everything? kee would come running to me 'ah-mee ah-mee pain pain' and show me some bite or finger kena clip by toy or something. I feel it's very cute at first and heart warming that he wud run to be for comfort but now I think it's getting a bit too much that everything fm feeding changing bathing reading
He'll also come running to me. Like while watching cartoons, after a while if he can't see me, he call out 'ah-mee ah-mee again' and go whole house searching. Maybe I shud 'hands off' when his dad comes home *tough*
Also is it the right time to discipline them? At night after last milk feed, I'll bring him to the toilet to brush his teeth. Tonight he said 'No' and shook his head. Hubby & I laughed but I really felt lost and didn't know what to say. Eventually we brushed him and put him in bed, of course he struggled and wasn't happy with his teethbrushing *sigh* |

re: Talking
SH oso not talking much or rather talking in his bb language only. For now the clearest words are pa pa and jiu jiu (yes, he can call my bro!!) the rest are all his bb lanuage ... he can understand instruction though. Anyway me not too worried lar ... my #1 was quieter than him and started talking when he was 2yr++ only heehee
re: Gymboree
Started SH at Gymboree yesterday ... it was crazy lar ... the class size was HUGE and he kept crying. Guess it will take some time for him to get use to the lesson and wld be really useful if the class size was smaller =p
Starflower ...
Guess cos you are the main caretaker for Kee thats why he comes to you for everything. Of cos you can get your hubby to take care of him at times when you go out for gals' gathering heehee
Blurjen ...
You can start to show your displeasure when she does something naughty ... what I do is that I will hit his hand gently and show him a face hahaha aft that he will realise that he was been naughty. Not that he wont do it again just that can 'skip' the hitting part cos show face he know liao ... |

Blurjen how abt "tiak" (flick)her hand or leg? Then say nooooo.... Works to some extent on kirs... Cos the tiaking inflicts sudden ant bite like pain but no scars... Lol! Slight redness depending on sensitivity of skin as well but the sudden pain does cause her to stop n listen... My frn uses rubber band lol! I don't recommend rubber band. More painful. |

Jo mummy
ger= acid solution I dunoe abt it. According to e Today article, ger sperm is fragile n last a few days while boi sperm is strong but v short. To haf boi do nearing ovulation w deep penetration. Ger abt 4 days bef ovulation. For good good n healthy sperm to b replenish, it takes abt 2 days. So alot depends on good planning. Doesn't mean do everyday will get preg. Doc told me we only haf abt 5-6 chances of getting preg in a 12 months menses. |

re: Talking
Vera also blabber a lot these days. Some very clear words from her are "Papa", "Jiejie" (her cousin and recently also refer to girls who are older than her), "ball" and only recently "Mama"; occasionally "ma..mee" hehehe.... Recently she also picked up 2 more words from the song "Head and Shoulder, knees and toes". "Hei..." as in "Head", "Ma...." as in "Mouth" as she points to her head and mouth. Usually we'll act as we sing the body parts song. She'll sing along with us but only the 2 lyrics (hei and ma). Anyway we continue doing the same until she picks up all the lyrics. hehe... I don't use the discouraging words like "no" or "wrong" when teaching her to talk. eg. I'll say, "this is my nose and where is your nose?" She'll answer either head and mouth as she point to her head and mouth respectively. To her she is right. That's her head or mouth she's pointing it's just that she's not answering my question. So I'll say "Yes clever girl, that's your mouth and this is your nose" as I help her point to her nose. So far I find this method works well. Just something to share. hehe..
Re: Discipline
Blurjen, ya Vera also does the same when we don't give her something or she can't get what she want. She throws tantrum by laying her body flat on the floor and rubbing her tummy against the floor while crying and screaming. She does this at home and even outside. We usually carry her away from e.g. that place or away from that object then distract her with something else that she can play with. So far I find spanking didn't work well on Vera. The more I spank the more she'll scream. I think she the '吃软不吃硬' type. |

Seabreeze..
I think i have mentioned before that Bree is not eating well and at this stage..
as much as i wanted to introduce new food to her.. i am half-hearted cos her eczema is quite bad.. I don;t want to keep apply steroid cream on her fearing long term side effects..
so i decided to go ahead and do an allergy test as well as a blood test to ensure that she is not anemic.
when we were at the lab.. the staffs who did the test for her are not experienced enough..
i was outside while hubby was with Bree.. i know i will be nervous when the needle pierce her and i don't want bree to sense me and feel insecure..
so i asked hubby to go in with her instead.. cos hubby is her playmate..
when i was outside.. i hear bree screaming.. the frequency is unlike her usual.. if she goes in for any vaccine.. she will just give out a short cry.. then she will calm down pretty quick.. hubby has always been able to clam her down.. she has been quite brave with all the jabs so far
she screams.. then cry.. screams then cry screams then cry this goes on for about 5 - 6 rounds
i was edgy and started walking around...2 male patients asked me if its my baby inside.. i told them yes.. i was trying to hold back my tears..
till i cannot take it anymore and stepped into the lab..
i was told only one parent allowed inside. a patient (he is one of them who was outside with me asking if its my baby) who was waiting to do his blood test told the staff off.. "she is her mom.. Baby needs her now.. she has to go in" then the staff kept quiet..
anyway i didn't care.. i stepped into the room.. i saw bree lying down with hubby holding her and trying to calm her down.. 2 staffs were there holding down her arm.. with a thick needle.. est.. like a cross stitch needle.. and big syringe.. trying to find her vein to draw blood..
Bree saw me and cried.. the look she gave me was sending the message asking me to save her. haiz..
i kept asking them.. what happened.. is everything ok? can u find her vein? they are trying.. and one of them told me to go out.. tell me.. see liao more heart pain.
i stayed there and kept brushing bree's forehead.. trying to calm her down..and tried singing to her.. but it didn't help./.
i noticed that when they pushed the needle in.. she screamed and when its pulled out.. she cry.. Then it dawned on me why she has been screaming and crying then scream and cry..
SHIT!!! they have been trying for so many times and cannot find her vein so she has been screaming in pain.
i told them if they cannot do it then stop. I don;t want to do the test already.
i carried her and it took me a while to calm her down cos her whole body is shaking when i held her. i was really cursing and swearing
i got really mad.. and the staff told me to go back to the doc's clinic..
at the doc's clinic.. one of the staff apologised to me about the whole issue..
i actually was already pissed.. no one explained to us what the process in detail will be like.. i only know have to draw blood.. so we are not prepared of what is going to happen and how to react.
why are we not told how much blood will be drawn, how it will be done and if Bree's vein is too fine to insert needle.. why are we not informed and asked if we want to go ahead cos it will be a painful process..
when we go for vaccine.. a cream is applied on the area where the needle will pierce to numb the pain.. why is that not offered?
and why are the staffs who are handling Bree not wearing surgical gloves?!?
and the staff there seemed to be not experienced to handle very young children but ok with adults.
Now am very pissed and wondering what next steps i should do..
thinking of writing to the management about it.. |

i felt so terrible about the whole thing.. like making her go through this trauma.. argh...
was planning to cancel this appointment earlier cos Bree was sleeping soundly during her afternoon nap.
and i called the clinic to postpone appointment from 2.50pm to 3.30pm.. but was told that PD will be going off at 3.00pm and they called their patients to come earlier for appointment (i didn't receive any call though).. hubby is going off to work next week n don;t want to delay in case got any follow up hubby still in town so we woke her up and go..
told hubby that i am not happy about the staff not telling me that the doc is rushing off.. cos Pd might not spend enough time on answering my questions.. feel like canceling the appointment cos already pissed liao..
i should have just done that! than Bree need not go through what she has gone through.. *slap myself* |

actually i was so pissed till i questioned hubby..
why didn't he stopped them? hubby told me he is holding her down and Bree was kicking his head throughout.. from his view.. he is blocked by the 2 staff and he thought they are already drawing blood so get it over and done with. it did came across his mind to stop cos Bree is crying and screaming so much..
i told him off.. telling him that he should just asked them if they are already drawing blood and if there are any problems..
he said he is focusing on bree, trying to calm her down so she don't move so much in case needle breaks,..
ARGH>>>> |

jo.. my boy also.. if you bring him outdoors and play with him, he will be your friend. recently he been wanting to play with older kids too, going up to them, playing catching (he chase they run) etc. i'm very worried as they can be quite rough but i don't want him to grow up without social interaction. headache la
lenny.. that is horrifying. where did you bring Bree? i think you should kick up a stink with them. even for an adult it would have been painful to have a needle inserted in and out.
bring her else where if you really want to do the blood test. my boy recently did a blood test at KK a&e and the experience was totally different. it was heart wrenching none the less but not horrifying. the nurse there prick his finger and squeeze the blood out. the nurse keep squeezing, my boy keep crying and it took quite awhile cos the blood comes out drop by drop. he stopped crying the moment the nurse stopped squeezing. |

Mommies..
we went to Gleneagles.. the PD is great.. really patient with us..
he explained that it will be better to do blood test then skin prick test cos at this stage.. our bb will not sit still.
at the lab.. we are not told about anything else..i thought they will have staff who are experienced in handling small children in such procedures..
prior to this, Bree has always been at TMC, so far.. we went to the labs for blood test.. it has been fine.so i thought it goes the same for all hospitals.. expecting experienced medical staff to do the same thing. we wanted the change cos the PD that attended to her has moved out of TMC.. this PD that we go to yesterday was not the same PD that has attended to her..
Hubby told me we better go back to TMC and then source another PD for her..
Any good recommendations for a PD at TMC? |

I can imagine the anger and heartache you feel ... even by reading I am already feeling the pain =p
My bro did this blood test when he was v young too cos he had sensitive airway ... in the end he grew out of the allergy. Is there any other alternative way to check on what triggers her allergy otherwise get the PD to do the blood extraction and not the nurses? |

Will you consider Mt A? Dr Terence Tan from Kinderclinic is great with kids and v v patient. The only 'problem' with him is that the Q is SUPER long ... so far the blood extraction at Mt A is oso fine.
Both Shayna and myself goes to Dr Oh Meng Choo from Kids Clinic @ Bishan. She is also v good with the kids. Not sure if she is able to do the blood extraction personally though |

Oh dear, poor Bree. A big hug to you and little Bree.. Even adults can have small veins making drawing of blood difficult. I too have small veins and whenever an inexperience staff attend to me, if he or she has no confidence in finding the correct vein to draw my blood, he/she will get an experienced one to attend to me. And I do my blood test in polyclinic near my place... Shouldn't this be the correct way? Yes, I'm as angry as you when I read your post. How could they use a toddler to test water.... After 1-2 failed attempts they should have stopped and get help already.... 5-6 tries and still want to continue until you insist to stop is really too much of them... |

Lenny and Seabreaze.. I agree Dr Terence Tan is great. He was the PD at the birth of my boy and we were with him for while. but the waiting really got to me (waited >3hrs once! OMGGGGGGGG) the blood test is not done at the clinic tho. but i have to say when Dr Tan jabs my boy, he is quick and my boy doesn't seem to notice. we are now with his colleague Dr Lee Chien Yee. she is awesome too! |

Hi Lenny
I just happen to click into this thread and saw yr post. I totally can feel how you feel. I had similar encounter with the staff there in the lab. VERY VERY annoyed with them. It's not just once but twice with both my children. I was super upset and scolded the staff the 2nd time.
If it's not because my PD is good and he's there, i would hv not gone. And as far as we are concerned, I'm going to avoid going for any tests there unless i can find a good PD elsewhere. Super insensitive and unprofessional way of handling children. |

Yap Dr Tan's Q is a KILLER and even with appointment oso need to wait ... so you might as well just walk in if you wan to see him. Be prepared to spend a waiting time of at least half a day =p
Dr Lee and Dr Lim are both q nice too ... in fact Dr Lim stays in the same development as me heehee but since Dr Oh is withink walking distance and relatively cheaper compared to kinderclinic ... we now go and see Dr Oh. She is my #1 fav dr lor .. pretty and nice hahaha |

missy... dr lee his cousin? wah small world. seems all the doctors are related somehow. my regular GP also knows dr lee. and my GP also knows my gynea and my gynea was the one who recommended dr tan. *faint*
i agree dr lee and dr tan have different approach towards giving advise and handling babies. to me dr lee always say to me "don't worry, it is normal, it is ok, don't panic". dr tan will say "it will retify itself, 2 of my kids have the same thing as your son, etc". dr tan is more gentle, dr lee is "swift" - she caught my boy's water gun 2 times haha. amongst the few PD i've seen, i still like both of them la. |

Woww!! Just finished reading a few pages of the revived thread after MIA for a few weeks!
Great to hear so many preggy mummies again!!! Many Congratulations! Must take care of yourselves and rest more! As much as I'd love to have another bub, we're still putting it on hold for the time being. Too many things to consider. But fingers crossed that Shayna can have a companion one day.
Scrumpee, you were asking who gave birth to a big bb naturally.... Well, Shayna was 3.766kg and I did it naturally after 17hrs without epidural or induction. But of course have epi cut. So jia you!!

Hugs to Marissa!!

Gosh!! Hope Bree is okay! Poor darling. Absolutely horrifying to read your post. You must raise it with their management.

Lenny:
big hugs to you and Bree. I totally understand how u feel. I rem when Favian was younger, he needed to do blood test and they are inexperienced too, pricked his heel a couple of times and I cried with him in the lab. The heartache is really undescribable needless to say seeing Bree being poke with such big needle. I am a difficult blood taking patient, hence I am always being poke at least twice before able to get my blood. Even me as an adult can't take the pain, needless to say Bree. I hope she is ok. And no bruises on the hand.
Ling:
My boy faces the same prob. He always refuse to get up from the tub hence nowadays I only give him the tub once or twice a week. And I do smack him or like missy says, flick his hand whenever he tries to be naughty. Usually I will give him 3 verbal warnings before doing physical discipline. But it doesn't works everytime. ha.. I have a stubborn ox at home. Guess becos they are born in the year of ox. :p |

Keron&Jeris ...
Just note that if you are not protected from chickenpox yourself then now is not a good time for ur gal to take ... cos they might 'spread' the chickenpox virus to you after the vaccine.
Thats what the nurse at the polyclinic told me ... preg better dun play play ... chickenpox will affect the younger one on the stomach
I put SH's chickenpox vaccine due to this reason too =p |

Keron&Jeris,
Seabreeze is right. If you're not protected from chickenpox, better get yourself protected first before you send your little one for the chickenpox vaccine. I was told the same too. Chickenpox is not compulsory like mmr but I opted for it for Vera when we signed up her vaccine package. Oh one more thing, it doesn't mean that after taken the chickenpox vaccine, one will not have chickenpox forever. If he/she didn't develop enough protection when they get the vaccine may develop a mild chickenpox when in close contact with another person with chickenpox. |
