Hi Denmy
congrats! x-ray? I don't suppose so ... just imagine, there would be a number who like u dont know they are preggie n went for x-ray, then how... anyway, from a professional aspect, gynae would tell u facts and leave all decisions to u. one person I can think off-hand is Ginny Phang, the doula. She's rather well-read, so hopefully she can give you better answers ... anyway, take it easy and just continue to take your vits.
ak/durianlover ... even if you r bfg, u can still conceive. there are some mummies who actually tandem nurse, ie nurse 2 babies and they also nurse thru' pregnancy.

Hi Rena,
Was wondering about the title of the song on your blog. 
I accidentally click on it once and heard the nice song. So every now and then i 'visited' your blog for the song (and of course to read on Sumo )
I know it's from Hillsong but don;t know which album or title. |

hi Denmy,
Congrats! Am so happy for you! Are you hoping for a gal or boy this time? I also think you are very courageous. I think I would like to wait till Charmaine's 2 before trying again. Mum also said that she wants a break : P Guess everyone can guess how difficult it is to take care of her. |

Hi mummies
It's been a while - Gabriel was sick, then I was sick. Very trying 2 week but we're both ok now.
Took me a while to catch up on all the post. Very touched to see many mummies sharing their lives here - thank you to those mummies. Hopefully with the network of support here, we can all be better mummies to our little ones.
Denmy
Congrats on being preggers again! so exciting.
Re: Milk
Gabriel takes, at most 250ml EBM a day and he doesn't drink much water (unless you spoonfeed). been racking my brain to see how to 'persuade' him to take more water. I have tried with the bottle, mag mag cup with spout and straw, nuby cup, nuk magic cup.... so waste money *sigh*
I suspect he was 'heaty' from lack of liquid when he fell sick. was feeding him boiled barley water religiously when he was sick.
Re: Car seat
Is anyone's child seat facing front yet? Am thinking of turning it to front-facing so that Gabriel doesn't fuss so much in the car. |

ky,
ya my friend who was breastfeeding her girl of 9mths old conceive another girl. I am not sure if she had her menses already then but for those of us who don't even have menses (our womb not even lining itself to prepare for the embryos), think the chances even lower. also heard from my sis gynae who did a scan at her uterus, although she had menses for a couple of months, she is not ovulating. she is still breastfeeding her 15mths old son. her gynae suggest for her to drop bf altogether.
but then I also heard of people tandem feeding, guess it really depends on individual and their body. |

My email add's correct. Thks! Sorry that I didn't reply to your email cos I think I meant to reply later than forgot abt it. Btw, can also help to check what's the price for other printouts?
re: solids
Charmaine's on 2 solids a day - porridge/cereal/puree at 12noon and at 5pm, i.e. lunch and dinner. Usually she has porridge with vegetables and fish cos she really loves them. She's a Chinese baby - doesn't like cereal. : (
re: mil
I guess to keep peace sometimes we have to learn to keep quiet. I remembered that one sat when we are all lunching at mil's place. I brought the freezed potato puree along for Charmaine. She asked me when did I cook that and I said that I made it on thur and freezed it. She actually said "Aiyo, why like that? Not good for babies to eat overnight food. It's easy to puree potato, just need to wake up a bit earlier lor." I was angry cos to me it's like implying that I am lazy to wake up earlier to prepare food for Charmaine. I didn't answer her, just left the kitchen. BUT on the way back home, I complained to my hubby all the way. : ) |

Re: Breastfeeding
I am still breastfeeding and my menses has yet to come. Last week, I had some spotting and was expecting my menses to come but it didn't. Is this normal?
Re: Ovulation
My friend stopped breastfeeding her 16 month baby 2 months ago, hoping to conceive another one. This was at the recommendation of her gynae. However, she did a scan and found that she has yet to ovulate. Apparently, the body needs some time to adjust and for the ovulation to kick in. |

Solids
Hmm, I feed Ariene 3 meals a day since 7 months old. Breakfast is usually fruit like banana, papaya or mixed grain / rice cereal. If I'm unable to feed her breakfast, she'll drink about 250ml EBM. Lunch is usually the heavy one like beef & spinach porridge, pork porridge, chicken and broccoli porridge, etc. Dinner is usually non-porridge mixed vegetables and fruit like broccoli & carrot & potato mix, sweet potato, butternut squash, etc and kiwi cubes, papaya cubes etc. I'm feeding fruits like papaya and kiwi in little cubes to my girl to train her to learn how to chew and bite. Above all, she still takes milk (either latch on or EBM) after her meal. Am I feeding her too much? I'm not sure what's the recommended to feed her everyday. I just make sure she has her vitamins and proteins ie, at least one meat, one vegetable and one fruit everyday. SOmetimes, in between meals, if she's perkish, I'll feed her a fruity snack or some finger food snacks. |

good to know both of you have recover =)
i had 'upgrade' dylan's car seat for 2 months. he is happier comparing to rear facing bcoz he can have better view and he enjoyed watching the lorries and buses passing by (cant see car from his seat yet heehee) another thing was his legs are getting longer and rear facing just cant allow his legs to be comfortably straighten out. |

I also know it is possible to conceive even when TBF but very very low chance....I saw my gynae last mth and he said he really pei fu me for TBF for so long. He said while he heard of ppl conceiving while TBF, but unlikely....anyway, I am also thinking of stopping TBF so that I can regulate my body and prepare for my next kid.... |

mummies,
Thank you, thank you!! I did a little read-up on the internet and am asking my urologist to find out from the radiologist what were the doses of radiation used. With this info, at least I can assess if I'm at a high-risk group lor. Waiting for him to call me back. Will update you guys as soon as I get an answer. Anyways, here's the link for some of you who might be interested to know more about radiation in pregnancy: http://www.kem.edu/dept/radiology/Info2.htm
I will answer your q's tonight... I am starving now... need to go get food... |

rachel, mel,
i always give JH water after each solid feed. in btwn solid feeds i realise he likes to drink water as well. so it's a good chance to feed.
besides that, i give him water after his dream feed and also after feeding milk.
actually last time i have a lot of problem giving him milk so i started giving water during dream feed. it works!
hee, another trick is to give him something that he doesn't like to eat and he will drink lots of water after that. JH doesn't like potato so he drinks a lot of water each time i feed potato.. :P
denmy,
hope that we hear positive feedback from your urologist! |

hmm... i dont have any tips in getting dylan to drink water. he simply drink whatever we feed him! whether is it sour, sweet, bitter or tastless. =p medicine to him is nothing bcoz he takes them in as well without any fuss *faint* at first even worry whether something wrong with his taste bud.
like what SY mentioned, you could try giving water to him after his solid meal.

Thanks mummies for the concern.
My dad has discharged and currently resting at home. But Jamie keeps crying for him to carry her. Sigh..
Denmy,
CONGRATS! Read abt ur post in office today but unable to post. Don't worry abt x-ray as it won't do much harm at this early stage but definitely not a CT scan. My boss went for CT scan without knowing she is pregnant. After discovering that, her gynae told her that it is better not to keep the baby as CT scan had great damage to baby. Think it is better to seek a second opinion. Dun worry.. take good care of urself!! Give u some luck of baby girl !! Hope your boys will have a baby sis soon !
Hmm.. so who will be the next one?? I wonder??  |

RE: menses & bf
i went to gynae for uterus scan abt 1 month ago and gynae said i'm still not ovulating, possibly due to breastfeeding. Said if i cut down no. of feeds per day to 3 or less, then menses might come back. But as of now, i still bf 5 times a day. Dunno if it's a lot??
But now that i read that having menses doesn't mean u'll ovulate, guess i'll just have to wait!
rachel,
Dylan eats/drinks 4 times a day only? That's amazing! But i guess he eats less often but takes in bigger quantity. |

Mel,
i'm also using front-facing for Janelle's carseat. Did that when she was abt 6 months old i think!
Re: water
My gal also hates drinking water. Think she drinks less than 40mls per day. Is it really necessary to give her water? Coz she poos normally so i assume she's got enough fluids! |

Denmy;
Please don't abort bb!
I went thru the same thing as u when i was preggers with rory. Went for my pre-employment checkup (inclusive of chest x-ray) less than a week before conception. I also stupidly and unknowingly took a short course of antibiotics (doxycycline) in my 8th-9th week because i was breaking out badly due to the pregnancy hormones - i didn't know i was pregnant until the 15th week! how stupid can i be?!? Till this day still want to kick myself.
According to reference books, Doxycycline can cause bones deformation and dentation problem (yellowing of teeth especially). My gynae, Dr Lisa Chin, sent me to Professor Anandakumar at Camdem Medical Centre for detailed ultrasound scan and 2nd opinion. Prof Ananda was so jovial, fatherly and reassuring. He told me there's virtually no risk from the X-rays and from his scans, rory was developing fine. and that i shouldn't worry about the doxycycline because there's nothing a good dentist cannot do. Moreover, doxycycline these days are alot less 'damaging' than they used to be. Rory has 3 teeth now, and they're all pearly white
I remember waiting for my turn at the professor's clinic...was praying so hard for my baby's wellbeing and could feel myself shake from the anxiousness because I feared I would have to abort my baby.
I hope u feel more reassured If you're worried, you might want to ask ur gynae to refer u to Prof. Anandakumar.
All the best,
Cass |

Super busy these few days.. so many postings!!
Denmy
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
RE: xray exposure
To be honest with you.. it will be hard to find a medical professional who will be able to guarantee that ur baby won't be affected at this stage.. even though the risk from exposure is probably minimal. Only later, with u/s scanning, you will be able to see if there is any fetal abnormality. I really hope that your baby hasn't been affected. Praying hard for you!
Flo,
Sorry for not responding to ur email abt the phototaking... the yahoo mail is fine by me and the date is also good for me... thanks so much!! I'm interested in a family shoot too.. can i do it on a separate day at her studio?
RE: kiwi

Esther
A ct scan is actually like multiple XRAYs being taken at different planes,the info from each image is then combined to give a better digital image,
So there is higher xray exposure then compared to one XRAY |

Thanks for the info on Kiwi
Mel
I think the golden kiwi is most likely GM cos so far all those I have come across are pointed.
Tabby,
Yes the family shot will be on a separate day. My fren will set up a yahoo group account to coordinate the indv photo date once I confirm all the email address.
Re: Email address for bb photoshot

Re: Kiwi
Shoot! I thought Golden Kiwis were safe to give. And to think i did so much research on infant FM just to find one that didn't contain and GM products. That's it - no more Golden Kiwis for Gabriel.
Re: Water
Durianlover - I want to give Gabriel water to get him into the habit and taste of water. I am quite sure his "yeh yeh" will jump to give him sweet stuff once he is past one years old. Also, gabriel's not taking much milk too so must make sure he has sufficient fluid. Sometimes when i see him struggle to poo, that's when i tell myself must give more water next time.
Rena
Your sil is too much. Since when is an allergy infectious? first time i heard of it. |

estherlee - wow..u are starting a biz here. actually i am also planning to open a small scale shop but have no idea what biz to do. sorry don't have any contacts on nail services. maybe other mummies can shed some light. let us know once its open so we can patronise. hee..
re: tumbletots
haha yesterday I am the only parent who came for the tumbletots as lots of bb is sick and some cannot make it last min. but Veron is so nice..she started the class even when there is only 1 baby. she is so pro..but the sad thing is that Caleb was so cranky and afraid of Veron. He kept wailing almost throughout the entire class..haiz..he wouldnt want to try the swing, nor the slide. in the end...Veron didnt charge me for the class.haha..we so pai seh..hmm..any of your babies also behave the same or is it just Caleb. We do bring Caleb out often but he always wail when he is close to strangers. |

Oh dear, feel so bad that we can't be there for the tumbletots. I thought I was much better but still having slight fever. So ended up we didn't go. Veron is really nice. I'm intending to enrol Daren for the class, seeing that he enjoyed himself quite alot. Daren was quite ok during the class the last time round. Was it near Caleb's naptime??

as with the x-ray...i think if the radiation is below 5, it should be safe....read it somewhere...but just to play safe...beta to seek second opinion....
Mummies...I'm gonna stop bf liao....now i pump in every 12 hours can only get max of 80-100ml....so...decided to stop...James turning 9 mths soon....but i feel quite bad about it leh...yesterday went to shop for milk powder then realised that it is SO EXPENSIVE these days as compared to the days of my elder boy....
Now James takes 2 cereal meals, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and porridge in the evening....in between he has between 4-5 milk feeds of about 180ml each time...
Okie....all mummies...take care....catch up with all of you soon! |

Re: Nepia
Went NTUC on Sat. Turn out that there's some promotion. Think the Nepia diapers are selling at $28+ for 2 packs. Works out cheaper than bulk order ($15 per pack).
For those who wanna buy, maybe you can drop by NTUC. Sorry I didn't notice the promotion period coz i just ordered a carton from Nepia liao. Only remember feeling very bang! |

rachel,
Dylan's 2nd meal
I looked thru his schedule..i think maybe we can either
1) 8.30 bfast maybe a little cereal for a start
0r
2) 5.30 early dinner..maybe can start with 1 cube portion of fruit/veg puree
i think for a start a small amount should be ok..i hope this helps. |

Hello mummies,
Today spent some time batch cooking for Isaac. Trying out 2 of the A. Karmel's meat puree recipes. Made 3 portions (~80-100ml each) of Chicken with Carrot & Apple puree and 2 portions of Cod with Sweet Potato puree. Both quite yummy, especially the Cod. Going to semi-replace 1 milk feed with the purees, starting tomorrow.
I'm going to try the below meal schedule:
5am/6am - Latch on (hopefully takes in at least 100ml)
8.30am - 220ml EBM (increased by 20ml)
11am - 4 tbsp of cereal with ~70ml EBM
2pm - Chicken / Cod puree (used to be 200ml EBM)
3.30pm - 150ml EBM
5.30pm - Porridge
8.30pm - Latch on (hopefully takes in at least 150ml) |

Rachel,
I find Dylan's feeding is quite similar to Ashley. For your reference
Ashley's usual feeding schedule:
730am 7-8oz BM
1130pm 1 chinese bowl porridge
2pm-3pm 7-8oz BM + Fruit/snack
6pm 1 chinese bowl porridge
830pm 7-8oz BM (estimate cos Latch On)
I just started introducing breakfast yesterday so Ashley has 3 meals a day. Targeted schedule looks like this:
730am 7-8oz BM
930am Light Breakfast (eg. egg yolk)
12pm 1 chinese bowl porridge
230-3pm 7-8oz BM + Fruit
6pm 1 chinese bowl porridge
830pm 7-8oz BM (estimate cos Latch On) |

carseat
been using front facing car seat since Ariene was 6 months old.. never bought the front facing ones
gm foods
wads the drawbacks/effects of feeding baby GM foods? so many of our foods eg, rice, are GM to increase he yield so its impossible to avoid.. I dont think I want my kids to grow up not being "able" to eat so many foods.. its so sad case.. |

Esther
thanks for the suggestion! your 2 options are good, will try an error and hope he cooperate =p
btw, over the weekend i tried out the following schedule and so far so good =>
720am 240ml FM
12noon porridge
4pm cereal (60ml FM)
430pm 180ml FM
830pm 240ml FM
Dylan takes the cereal well and im happy. this morning inform my mum on the extra cereal meal, again as expected she said is it too much for him... well hopefully things go well and my mum will not complain further. *cross finger*
my new feeding schedule is ok right? think i gonna prepare lots of fruit and veg puree, so that can intro them as snack to dylan =)
Clare
wow Ashley eats more leh. your light breakfast means just solely egg yolk? i see from your schedule Ashley can drink another 7oz of BM after 1 bowl of porridge! an interval of 2.5hrs only! wow wow hee...
durianlover
yah Dylan takes more and less number of times. |

Re : Car Seat
I'm considering changing to front-facing as well. But my son is a feather weight and looking at the situation for my older boy who was bigger at the same age, he only converted at 11months. And my front-facing car-seat is pretty upright ... So I'm staying put with back-facing car-seat.
I just remembered 2 cases of accidents; 1 was a mother who was glad she had her 2 kids strapped in though it was a ride round the corner; the car seats save the kids. Another was my hubby's colleague. hubby, wife n 3-yr old boy was in a car accident. Boy was not in car-seat.

Heee, your account of "conning" your hb so funny. I think end of the day when hb sees JH enjoying himself with a certain toy, am sure he would be willing to buy for him!
MamaPanda
Hmmm, I've been wondering myself what the adverse effects might be on GM foods. I think most GM foods in the case of rice for example, are modified in such a way that genetically, it's resilient to plant diseases or pests that eats up the crops. But thinking of it this way, it might have a little effect on the human body. Might have to find out more on scientific articles on such things.
rachel
I don't think your new feeding schedule will be too much for Dylan. In fact...it makes Daren look like he's overeating! heh heh
Feeding Schedule for Daren (on weekdays)
7am - 210ml Milk
11.30am - 1 bowl porridge
2pm - 180 milk
5pm - 180 milk
7pm - 1 bowl porridge
9.30pm - 180ml milk |

wow. thanks for sharing on the importance of having a car seat once again. I bugged hb to get one about 3 months back even though we don't own a car but we get to drive a vehicle (either my mum's van or BIL's car) almost every weekend and seeing Daren can be quite a handful, felt it's much safer for him to be in one. Never regretted that decision. It's really useful when either one of us have the vehicle and need to pick Daren to and fro infant care. Especially during the period when my hb was away for 19 days and my BIL happened to be away for 14 days and I got to use the car.  |

really quite pissed over this. my hb doesn't like to go out on sun but i m ok. so i told him i m missing the gatherings cos of his refusal to go back on sun. one thing is cos my MIL works, we can only go back at night and hb feels that it is tiring...

Chicken Little
Only $19.90! Gosh, I was cheated! I bought it for $25 at the warehouse sale!
And I was very upset with Toys R Us. I went on Sat and attended the auction coz I saw the Buzz Lightyear Rider that they are going to put up for auction. One of the helpers passed it to the auctioneer and told him it's $20. Then the auctioneer proceeded to reserve that for himself! So upset! Another staff still had to cheek to lie to me that it had many faults! But when I asked to check it, the auctioneer stepped in and said it's reserved. Of course, by him! |

yah, i know it's good that Daren can eat. But I think even if he's full, he just won't stop. He's been getting a little greedy lately. Sigh...just the other day, my MIL was like telling me not to overfeed him as scared his gut might get "spoilt" from being too full all the time, and kept urging me to cut down on his intake.That babies do not know the difference of when they are full.
I read in the weaning book that as of now, at their age of about 8-9 months, their milk intake should be about 600ml, while taking in 3 solid meals a day.
Then again, I see Daren no matter how much he eats he doesn't like put on much weight coz he burns it all up with all his moving about! |

think as long as Daren is eating well and no tummy upset, all should be fine. yes yes agree with you that our babies could be very greedy. yesterday after feeding dylan 1 full bowl of porridge, he kept looking at us as we start eating our meal. i tease him by muching my food and went close to him. he actually lean forward and want to eat my mouth!! imagine that, so greedy! after that he kept getting close to me and want to munch my mounth! *faint*
so what your MIL said is true. |

mamachan,
Don't worry about Daren. Ariene eats even more and drinks more milk, she's still the lightest baby in this thread @ 7.4kg. I've been feeding her 3 solid meals a day since last month and she's still not gaining much weight. Since PD says its ok, I'm also not too worried.
As for GM foods, I think I'll just continue to feed Ariene whatever we're eating, GM or non-GM, with the exception of preserved foods like salted fish, salted vege, sze chuan vege, etc. There's too many GM foods involved. Unless its satistically and scientifically proven GM foods causes gene mutation or something to that extent in babies.. oh well.. *shrug* |
