bulma, i heard enfalac quite good. or friso not bad also. many bb take similac, dumex, enfa all cannot but friso ok leh.
bulma: ya lor.. give it a try... but dun give too much per time.. normally if Xin ru got phelgem, i give in a row 3 days she will recover... 1 bottle can last about 4 times.. tis one cannot give too much k... cause it's very strong....
I personally feel tat the FM should not be the main cause leh... I give her drink Mamex since birth... then since birth she already got lots of phlegem le... then after few months, her phlegem reduces and gradually not so much liao.. and i din change FM before....
U give birth to Jarren by natural birth or c-section??
smiley: i agree w u at times tat sometimes life w/o bb is great... hehe even me, a baby/children lover tinks in tis way.. haha
but when i tink back some woman not able to feel this kind of life and i should be blessed tat i am able to... hehe

Amanda,
u wan to buy the bulk? I didnt give elvin dumex but i did register with them so able to order the bulk purchase. If u need let me knw i help u to order.
Bulma,
maybe can also try change formula. I use to give elvin similiac then he also alot of phlegm. After change to enfac he gets better though still got phlegm but alot better liao.
Some babies just dun suit a particular brand. SO u need to trial..Now jarren moew then 6 mths should be on step 2 liao so u can other brand sample and let him try loh.
Mashy,
take gd care..Have u take Caeden for the pneumococcal jab? That is to prevent ear infection and meningitis rite?

what's sign of ear infection? xr always scratching her ear, sometimes until inside also break skin and bleed
How can I tell if my baby has an ear infection?
It can be difficult to tell, but if your child has a cold and then gets a fever about three to five days later, it may be caused by an ear infection. She may also tug at her ear or be out-of-sorts. Sucking and swallowing can also hurt, so if your baby starts to feed and then pulls away from your breast or a bottle, seemingly in pain, see your GP.
What causes them?
The problem starts in the Eustachian tube, which connects the middle ear to the back of the nose and throat and transports bacteria from there to the middle ear whenever you yawn or swallow. That's fine as long as the tube is in working order; a healthy Eustachian tube lets the fluids drain back out. But if the tube is swollen due to a cold, allergy, or sinus infection, the fluid becomes trapped in the middle ear. Now any bacteria or viruses living in the fluid have a warm, wet environment in which to flourish; pus develops, and pressure on the eardrum causes it to bulge and become inflamed, a condition known as acute otitis media. Fever appears as your child's body attempts to fight the infection.
Another reason children are susceptible to ear infections is that their Eustachian tubes are short and horizontal. As a child grows up, the tube will triple in length from half an inch/1.25 centimetres to 1.5 inches/3.8 centimetres. It will also become more vertical, reducing the likelihood of infection.
Treatment with antibiotics -- usually Amoxicillin -- will wipe out the germs, but the fluid may take up to three months to be reabsorbed by the body. Fluid alone may not require medical attention, but if your child has the symptoms of an ear infection, such as a fever, it would be a good idea to call your GP.
What will increase the likelihood that my child will develop an ear infection?
Several factors can increase the risk of ear infections, including allowing your child to drink his bottle lying down and exposure to cigarette smoke. Children under one year of age who spend time in nurseries are more likely to suffer ear infections, as they're exposed to more colds, which can lead to more ear infections. Heredity may also play a role: if you had numerous ear infections as a child, your baby is more likely to get them, too. Breastfeeding helps to prevent ear infections.
Are ear infections serious?
They can be, and they can cause babies and their parents a lot of pain. A severe or untreated infection can break the eardrum and flood the ear canal. Although this happens very rarely, it's important to ask your GP to examine your child's ear if you think she may have an infection. Repeated ear infections can also lead to hearing loss, and while the eardrum heals well, repeated infections can cause scarring. This also happens in a relatively small number of cases, but it's important to stop repeated mild ear infections developing into severe infections to prevent possible long-term damage to your child's hearing.
While your baby is in the throes of an ear infection, you may find yourself staying up all night with a wailing child, making several trips to the GP and to the chemist for medicines, and worrying whether repeated ear infections will lead to hearing loss. All of this can be very stressful.
What does it mean if I see pus oozing from the ear canal?
The appearance of pus or bloody-yellowish fluid indicates the development of a small hole in the eardrum, which will usually heal by itself, but you should call your GP.

Ear infection is not necc contracted from CC. It can be due to something simple as a cold.

Oh no! That's very high! U didn't have any paracetamol on standby? I always give to the infant care as standby, in case got fever. What virus is that? What other symptoms are there? Coz my boy only fever, so had to check urine too to rule out UTI.

I hope Caeden gets well soon. AFter Annika's bout of illness, I am extremely exhausted. I believe she must have suffered alot too. Finally I can see the smile in her.
<font color="ff0000">Scratching of ear</font>
Annika also seems to scratch/tug at her ears very often, sometimes till the inside bleeds. I wonder what is bothering her, or she is just warm and hence irritated. She seems to be always tugging at her ears and hair.

U better get Annika's ears checked if she have fever. My boy also tugged his ears. Tugging ears could mean teething or ear infection. Sorry, now I'm very paranoid.
