My massage lady is quite good not so much cos my tummy shrinks but she can tell where there is still wind in my body and i didn't have to tell her where it hurt, she will tell me that i have headache cos got wind in the head. She really massages quite well, not too hard that its painful. I am taking the massage more for the "therapeutic" aspect e.g. to get rid of wind and to get rid of the blood clots in the uterus... she uses a lemongrass oil and does binding.. she doesn't use the herbal type of oil and even despite not showering (:P hehehe..dun be too grossed out) i didn't feel sticky. But the best part is that i get to zone out for 2 hours and usually snooze away and get some rest... my tummy has gone down a bit but still flabby.. sigh... but i can fit into some of my pre-2nd pregnancy pants.. I also wanted to book her for 10 days but she was busy during the second week...
SSF
this time round i got no confinement lady and somemore, my mom was too busy to help initally so quite tired... now, i've packed tabby off to grandma's place so during the day i can get some rest cos have food catered and all i need to do is sleep, eat and produce milk... kekeke... Mooo
I really think that a good confinement is important cos i have a lot of joint problems before and after the first pregnancy, i felt much better... |

SY,
Thanks in advance then...i can see if JW likes it b4 i put in effort. Coz hb always spoilsport...always say coz he don't like cheese...bb sure dun like cheese too
MamaChan,
Wah daren so smart! JW will tend to bob his head into water whenever we carry him out of his float. Then he will choke on the water and come out looking stunned.
Hmm...maybe we can buy him the hand float and see how he handle it. Did u just simply give him the float and he can handle it liao?
Scott Emulsion
Hmm...so many good things abt it....maybe i should let JW try...though i personally used to hate that when I was young ;p
Tracy,
Your boss so nice....ok with you surfing net. |

tabbiesus,
I also agree that a good confinement is important. I was thinking of getting a confinement lady this time instead of getting my MIL to help coz the last time I didn't let my MIL take care of clariss at night so I was very tired because she will be crying to be fed and then crying to be carried, with a confinement lady, she will pacify the baby and only when the baby is hungry then bring to me to be fed.
anyone has good confinement lady to recommend, please pm me. thanks. |

SH, u can teach JW to spit water out ... put your mouth half into the water and blow bubbles in front of him, or spit water out. They'll soon learn, yes, esp after choking a few times.
For arm floats, you must keep re-iterating to the child that he cannot ever jump into the water without it, so while u remove it, you must show to it that it's out and keeps telling him. Sometimes, it's good to go without arm floats so that the child doesn't have a false feeling that he can swim.

Ha ha Aden basically only interested in eating and when there is music and dance during the movie. So once we run out of food and milk, we left. About 1 hour after it starts. Imagine I sit right in front, super loud man. But I find the show so boring. The singing reminds me of Grease. |

it's $43.90 so your spree price is really cheap. Too bad i've got 2 extra 8 oz bottles now. Perhaps u might wanna check out the shipping price too. check here for the price list of items sold in vitakids.
For the cod liver oil, it's important that the source of the cod liver oil is clean coz of mercury poisoning etc. So there's diff grades among the cod liver oil brands. Better pay a little more for a pharmacaetical grade than a cheap one and u don't know its source.

yes, the price is already hiked. Buying from the website which I'm organising the spree will save you at least 30-40% off the price here. For eg, I bought the Special Cleasing Gel for only $31.95USD. If u buy in Singapore, its $90+. my spree is still open. Do join if u wanna buy. I'm still have 100USD more to go. If response is poor, I may close the spree and open it again next month. |

So for the special cleansing gel, after shipping costs, how much will it be in S$?
If it's cheaper, I don't mind ordering the special cleansing gel too. |

I give crap to her saying that I have some family matters to attend to. Dun want to tell her the truth that I dun like the job scope, else she will go like, "During interview already..blah blah blah.." Sigh..dun want to get nagged/scolded even I want to resign. So use family commitment as an excuse. Who knows she ask me to work halfday till the matter is resolved. And ask me to reconsider. Anyway, tmr's answer will still be the same. I am already turned on my ORD mode. Counting down my days. Hahaha.. |

cheng,
Before shipping its abt $51, after shipping, it'll be $55-$60, depending on shipping costs. No need to calculate, definitely cheaper. You call up ur beautician n ask them how much they selling it to you after discount and compare see. If your beautician cheaper, I'll forget abt the spree and buy from your beautician too. |

Heehee, maybe u can tell your boss is for fengshui reasons. My ex colic's had alot of "problems" at home after my ex co had a reno cos there was a sharp corner pointing at her new seat. Both her hb and mom were down with cancer and she felt sick too. After sometime, she decided to put a pot of plant and a mirror in front of her desk and miraculously both her mom and hb's cancer went into remission after that.
Re: Cod liver oil

SH
Daren learnt to be water smart after choking a few times and drinking lots of water! Just like what ky mentioned! I didn't just leave him be with the arm floats just like that, that's a no-no policy for me. When after a few rounds of swimming and seeing that he's so comfortable being in the water, I slowly let go of my hold on him and be around near him and let him float about on his own. When he chokes on the water, he'll paddle back to me and I'll pat him on the back and assure him and show him how to do bubble breathing (blow out bubbles under the water). It takes a while. Key thing is not to hurry them, own time own target. =)

Actually, your boss seems to think highly of you hor? Maybe if there's any other portfolio that you're keen in, you can perhaps "bargain" to have a change in job scope? Now that the ball is in your court, so to speak. |

I cant give u an exact figure as it depends on the overall shipping charges. i can only tell u how much it costs before shipping. Overall, it should be about +-$60. Before shipping, its US$31.95*1.6 = SG$51.12. |

i agree with you that confinement is impt. But, i couldnt tahan. I bathed the moment I reached home, coz there's aircon in the hosp, but at home, i didnt on the aircon and I was so hot. I observed most of the confinement rules (except the washing hair) that time. Think i was qt weak and my body ached. So, i bathed with herbal water and washed my hair on alternate day. Washed my hands with boiled water, no fan, etc. such a torture. Will try my best to see how long I can tahan. Did u do the malay massage? how come you hv wind in your tummy? |

Bathing during confinement
I also tried to "tong" during my confinement but i showered and washed hair abt 3 hrs after delivery cos feel so yucky. In the end, gotta go for acupuncture cos my wrist hurt so bad and the acupuncturist actually said my body very weak.
Cod liver oil
I give Ryan the orange flavoured one and he seems to like it...but at this age, their taste bud keep changing....so something he likes today, he will reject tomorrow. |

Have very bad toothache yesterday and never sleep the whole night. Call up the nearest clinic in the morning and end up after checking have to do root canal (last upper molar).
During the process, it was still painful after the jab. When she took out the nerves, was quite painful as well. Wanted to ask it that normal? Was on painful killer but now when I bite, it is painful, is this normal? hopefully I can sleep tonight after so pain killer. |

I forgot to deduct the base charge from the shipping estimate. So sorry.. the revised amount should be:
wenyl : $99.09

Wenyl, I'll refund u the excess, if any, either via cash during collection or internet transfer. Otherwise, I'll credit the extra into the shipping charges if its higher than my estimate. |

HI ladies,
Din log on for some time. My maid has left so been doubling up as maid at home so been really busy to log in.
For cheese sauce, just a suggestion. If you have like the macoroni cheese like those in california pizza, think you will like the velveeta cheese. Just melt over the macaroni. Quite idiot prove.
Managed to get a swimming instructor that specialise in toddler swimming to come to my condo in pasir ris to teach swimming on fri morning. I need 2 more tods to start the class. anyone keen? He charges 25 bucks for 30mins session. please pm me will give more details. Cannot reveal where he is teaching but can only say he is a veri popular teacher teaching in infant swimming school in singapore.
Re: Cod liver oil,
I give my girl Nordic natural DHA capsules.she prefers it to oil. Maybe she likes the oppinf feeling of the capsules. Multivits generally should be given after food for max absorption.
Just to share. There was a news paper article some time back on the quality of DHA of brands available in singapore and NOrdic natural is one of the few reccomended ( i tink others include Usana and shaklee)as it is process via molecular distillation process so it is free from dioxins and PCBs. |

ak, krissie,
I also couldn't tahan the not bathing part but I still try to stick to it. I think I started bathing 7days or 10 days after delivery and about once every 3 days in herbal water depending on the weather. if the weather is too cold, my MIL will advise me not to bathe. I am quite guai in this sense. I know my SIL quietly went to bathe without my MIL knowledge. so far, I am pretty strong though I think I still didn't do a good confinement because I didn't really rest enough. this time round, I am definitely going to be less tough on myself.
Krissie, I am due in end dec. in fact, my EDD is the same date as Clariss B-dae. hopefully the 2 of them can share the same b-dae but I think that maybe difficult. |

Hi mummies,
Really cant don't visit this post daily or else will definitely get lost..... =)
Seems like many of you gives vitamins/cod liver oil etc to the little ones already....I've not given anything of this sort yet....hmmm....
A few questions
- Any recommendations for "beginners"? In capsules or liquid form?
- How to give in capsules form?
- Don't the little ones resist thinking that we're giving them medicine?
Hear from you all soon.... |

mummies,
edgar has gotten this horrible viral thingy, suspected HFMD. his hands are affected the most as you can see from the pics. apart from the itchiness which irritates him a little when he's sleeping, he's otherwise fine. still active as ever. have gone to 3 PDs and referred to a dermatologist but none would confirm whether it's HFMD or not, citing that it could be that or just something viral. No medication is given and was told that it would go away on it's own. does any mummies here have any encounters on this, can share more? thanks!

Does the rashes appear on the sole too ? Anything on the tongue ? Any fever ?
I sometimes have similar rashes but just a bit on my hand. That is when I touches something very dirty or when I have allergy.
Which dermatologist did you go ? |

aileen - u want to bring him to KK for second opinion? Looks pretty bad. are there any water in those bubbles? may want to seek KK for their expertise. i know HFMD will also have red dots at the bottom of their feet and ulcer in their mouth. if there is none, i dun think its HFMD. |

Krissie,
wow, your confinement was much better than mine. I simply led a 'normal' life aside from the confinement food. 1st two wks at MIL's, I washed my own pump parts, bottles so already touch tap water. First hair wash happen before going for 1s chk at gynae's. I was sleeping in aircon too. :P
After two weeks, I was washing my baby's clothes on my own already and washing hair alternate days. I didn't do massage cos c-sect so had to wait a period, in the end i forgot about it. |

I've asked my neighbour already. They say if u want indonesian maid in malaysia, she can get her agent in jakarta to liase with you directly to send the maid to malaysia. You can call her for more details. Her name is Mavis Tong. Their office is :

Singapore 449408
You can call Mavis at 98584849.
Aileen, Chickenlittle, re: Nordic naturals
The bottle will cost SGD$26.30 before shipping. Shipping cost will be about $5-$7 per bottle (estimated). Vitakids at Suntec is selling at $49.30 per bottle. I checked their website already. So far, I've got 7 bottles, another 5 more bottles before I close the spree. Unless I get an overwhelming response, then I'll open another spree for the spill overs.
vpostUSA promo
Can only use the discount once. It discount code should be available in vpost website. you can check it out there.

hi mummies,
initially we tot it was insect bite becos it started off with only a few dots. then after 2 days, it started to spread and get worst. we saw a PD at railmall, she said it's probably dirty things that he touched, so prescribed some cream. but after 2-3 more days, it got worst. more area got affected and more intense, so we brought him to PD at gleneagles, this PD said it's eczema, so gave antibiotic cream. then yest, i see that things didn't get better and edgar had mild fever over the weekend, so brought him to see PD at gleneagles again. this time PD said he's afraid it's scabies, but he can't confirm. so referred us to dermatologist opposite his clinic. her name is Dr Tham Siew something, can't remember. she said it looks like something viral or could be HFMD. edgar did have an ulcer but we were not sure if it's due to HFMD coz coincidently he knocked into my hb earlier last week, so we are not sure if he bit his lip or not. and no, there are no spots on his sole. |

Morning mummies

Oohhhh, poor Edgar. Oh dear me, the rashes looks really bad! I recall some of the mums who shared when their todds had HFMD, they refuse to eat and even drink as it's too painful for them to swallow or something, plus fever. Hopefully it'll go away soon. They didn't prescribe any cream (steroid) to apply to help ease the itch and help to eradicate the rashes?
MamaPanda
I think it was sunny who asked about the maid in M'sia, if I recall correctly.
Grace
I started Daren on Scotts Emulsion Cod Liver Oil about 1 month back. So far so good and he doesn't rejects it. It's the only health supplement I've given him to date. I don't think our darlings know exactly what to do with those chewable muti-vits, chances are, I think they might spit it out. |

tabby,
ya edgar's eating fine and active as usual. doesn't seem to be bothering him.
mamapanda,
don't think it's chickenpox, coz i suppose if it is, the PDs shld have suspected. and i don't think there's water in it. don't know leh. looks dry to me. |

aileen,
poor edgar, I think you must be very heartache.
I used to have bad rash on my hands before as well. something like that but not so big on the back on my hand, mine has water in them and when it's dried up, it will be ok. it was so bad that I couldn't take anything using my hand else it will trigger the itch. I think KK is a better option to see a PD.
I believe it maybe allergy since if it's not HFMD or chicken pox. wash his hands frequently with water and dry them properly. don't let him touch things with chemicals such as soap and clean his toys frequently but don't use chemicals to clean them. take care of his food intake as well. try to give bland cooling stuff.
my rash went away after 1 week plus close to 2 wks. now I avoid the soap that gives me the rash and I have been cleared off the rashes for 6-7 years already. |

hi Aileen
Might be HFMD. How many days since the first rash came out... but if the experts can't confirm, n u have seen a few PDs ... hm.
My #1 had HFMD 2 times. The very first time is mild. Just a few spots and he was running and eating very healthily, no ulcer. But it's the 2nd time when there's quite a lot of rashes that he was not able to eat and that was really bad, and the rashes look similar to this. Is this just on the two hands only?

How's the taste of nordic naturals? Humm after reading about it am thinking of getting one but afraid Mel may not like the taste. She's a fussy eater
Re: Chewable
Do they taste better?

Edgar's rashes look bad...I rem Mel's PD mentioned previously not all HFMD will have full blown symptoms. I find she's quite good and thorough and most imptly very patient. I can PM you her clinc address if you are keen to seek 4th opinion. |

RE: DENGUE hse checks
Just now, 2 officers came to my plc to do spot check on mozzie breeding. Luckily I've got not many plants around. They are also checking the kitchen dish washing trays. So I thot better warn the mummies here. Btw, dun forget to clear the tray below our fridge cos it does accumulate water after a period of time. |

his spots on the hands started appearing last sun/mon. now there are spots all over his whole body, hands and legs but nothing like those on his hands. his hands looked as if badly inflamed. i will seek another opinion if things doesn't look better by the end of the week. i'll check with shichida if they have any cases. coz that's the last class he went to b4 he had the spots. |

SY,
the veleeta cheese comes in a pack of Marcaroni and Cheese, I bought it from Cold Storage, Yup, as Ashleyjames mentioned, it's idiot proof, just cook the pasta, and add the cheese sauce over it... but as ususal, fussy S didn't enjoy it much, my neighbour's gal loves it though! She can finish the whole pack!
Tabs,
the JG class is quite fun, similar to the holiday programme but with chinese section added into it... Think you can just walk into the class, cos they have a register of names of those who are joining... |

oh dear, those rashes on Edgar's hands looks pretty bad. The 3 PDs cannot confirm what causes it or how they should be treating it? That's bad.
I have seen some pics of HMFD cases and it looks somewhat similar to those that Edgar is having.
HMFD spreads to adults too cos my colleague also got it from his kiddo. U are preggy now, should be careful also hor. |
