Hmm our thread so quiet ...

Jts: I've ordered a nursing bra from Emma Jane on asos, Luke it's really as comfy as it looks, will update again when I receive the actual thing.
 


kepsis, yes, there's a bb fair at suntec this weekend, starting this Friday. unfortunately i can't find any detail.
 
Kepsis, which spree did you go for the Emma Jane bra? Can post the link here? TIA

i worry my boy not got enuff milk. He should be getting enuff milk...Monitered his weight, on avg he is gaining 235gm per week for 7 weeks base on hospital discharge weight.
 
mummies, pls share on what do you usually eat for lunch? I have no imagination. Cooked so far - frird salmon and pork slice with rice and brocoli... Tmr i'm having pork ball soup with tofu mushroom mee hoon and spinach. For this, I have to use chicken soup.
 
I think Broccoli n cauliflower will cause wind so i try to avoid eating coz still breastfeeding. And 'jiu cai' will affect bm supply.
 
Bunnybluey: oki I'll go check it out, tks!

La_paix: I bought it fr this website directly cos it does not charge shipping. It's www.asos.com or u can google asos too.
I know there's a spree on asos too n I think the organizer has an extra 5% disc, but I did not bother cos I not ordering a lot so I find it troublesome to do transfer of money n then have arrange pick up etc so I just order direct lor
 
Hi all, have been reading the posts here for sometimes, cos very confuse abt bb vaccine and also getting info abt babycare.

My bb are coming to 2 mth old, so far been visiting PD at TMC for check up but havent take vaccine yet, should be taking jab on next appt which is 11th May, was told previously that whole vaccine package at my PD is ard $1.5k+ per bb which includes some of optional jabs as well. Still thinking to go for poly or PD as I have twins, so pricing and waiting time are crucial factors.

can i check with mummies here, for those who go poly for jabs, do u still visit ur own or pte PD for check up?
 
Shiko, does the pkg incl MMR? FYI, MMR is free at polyclinic, so do consider taking MMR at polyclinic to save $. Does the pkg incl pneumococcal? If yes, does your PD clinic help to claim fr medisave? If doesn't, u may wish to consider polyclinic so that u can save on cash. For me, I don't bring bb back to PD for check-up unless bb sick or follow-up fr previous consultation.
 
Hi all mummies,

I brgt my girl to singhealth polyclinic last mth for her 2nd dose of hep b. For jun, i need to decide if i'm opting for 5 in 1 or 6 in 1 out of which 3 jab is FOC. I heard from my cousin that if opt for 6 in 1, baby is prone to fever. Any feedback from mummies who opt for 6 in 1 for their baby?

Also, i heard taking MMR jab may risk to cause the baby of autism. Any1 heard if it?

My girk is coming to 2 mths n my bm supply getting lesser n lesser as i dnt pump regularly. Nw my breast cracked with blood so i stop pumping. Tried latching my girl last night. I took fenugreek but dnt see increase in supply. Stikk possible to boost back my bm.
 
Keep on latching to maintain supply. Apply nipple cream or bm after latching. I took fenugreek when I had my #1 but also can't see result coz my girl direct latch. Just keep latching, and drink more water.
 
Mmr: I was worried about the side effects initially but later I checked with my pd, she say it's not really true, otherwise govt would not hv made it compulsary.

Ya I'm very confused about the vaccination too. Wish there weren't so many different types like 6in 1 or 5 in 1 etc.
 
Kepsis, those how many in 1 is to combine all the jabs compulosry in the vaccination schedule in one jab instead of 3-4 individual jabs.
 
Hi mummies,
My girl is 5 weeks old & she hasn't pooped for 2 days. Today will be 3rd day if she still doesn't poop. She has been breaking wind a lot & quite smelly. She's on 80% formula & 20% breastmilk. I heard that formula is very heaty & could be the reason why she cannot poop. She's drinking Similac since birth. Her bowel movements was ok until a few days ago.
What can I do to make her poop? Do I need to bring her to the doctor?

Is there any cause for concern?
 
Shernice, my baby din poo for a week. Went to see doctor. Doc said common for bf babies. But I'm not sure about fm/bm...
 
Thanks Kepsis. I'm exploring the one-dish meal.

I haven book the jab at polyclinic for my boy. Take abt how many days to fix appt? Can walk in? Any1 no??
 
Regarding MMR, I know mummies used to delay it, worried that bb allergied to egg & previously was only 1 jab, but recently govt changed to 2 jabs. If u not comfortable, maybe delay a bit but hv to take as it's compulsory.

Evelyn, the nurse at polyclinic said only hep b won't hv fever, other jabs bb may hv fever but depends on individual. My son only fever once or twice for the so many jabs he took.

Mrs Liow, for NHG polyclinic, u can call & make appt, but for singhealth polyclinic, u can't, hv to walk in. I prefer having appt made 1st so that don't hv to wait so long. If u r calling NHG, it depends on their bookings, like I called on Friday, they asked if we cld make it on following Monday pm.
 
<font color="000080"> Evelyn >> My bb took 6in1 last week, mild fever for 2 days. She also took rotavirus vaccine, either that or the 6in1 caused her to have wind in tummy and constipation for couple of days. I a bit regret opting to let her take 6in1 and rotavirus together, maybe too "siong" for the body

But bobian now on this schedule liao.

The study that "proved" the link between MMR n autism has been shown to be a fraud. Autism is thought to be mostly genetic, though certain factors like environmental pollution, prenatal stress, smoking and even vaccines can make it worse.


Shernice >> Can try massaging bb's tummy, sitting bb upright or in squatting position. Nursing also helps trigger digestive system. Another suggested method is let bb sit in a shallow warm bath... but can be messy if it works! :p</font>

Hi Mummies, what brand of FM are you giving to your baby?Any feedback on the FM?

I am currently using Similac but thinking abt changing.My boy seems to have a lot of gas nt sure whether it is becz of the FM.
 
Tracey, for 6in1, if you take at PD or GP clinic, they wld usually advise 2nd, 4th &amp; 6th mth for the 3 jabs. If you're going polyclinic, 1st 6in1 is done in 3rd mth.
 
I'm actually going back to work this morning.. But my gals having hfmd.. Was on child mc till thurs. today take leave. Going back to work on coming Monday ;)
 
Mrs Liow>> can share with me your pumping schedule?Are you gg to pump @nite?How about during work?What do you bring to office?
Does your baby wakeup for nite feed?
 
Hi wanda, my boy on total direct latch. So far only bottle feed him twice coz I went out without him..

I haven decide the timing of the pump in office. I will bring my pump to work... I usually don have a fix timing to pump at home. If I got time I will pump once or twice to store the milk in freezer for my boy when I get back to work..

Currently my boy still wake up for night feed.. About two hourly..

U?
 
Hi Mrs Liow, hws ur gal?

My boy so far is bottle feed cz my supply low so I need to topup FM.These 2 nits my boy have been sleeping a stretch of 6-7 hrs.Day time my boy feeding is abt every 2.5-3 hourly.
 
Wanda, haven try hw Much he needs... He started w 60ml then 90ml... It has been almost one mth he last used bottle to brink milk...
 
Hi, I am staying at Ang Mo Kio St 52. near market. I need a nanny to take care of my 4 mths bb girl start fr jul. If u know any good nanny around this area, pls pm me their contact number. Thank you very much!
 
Hi mummies "checking in" here with details of my delivery. I delivered on 30 Mar. Induced labour, had to wait almost 18 hours as it was 2 days after EDD and baby still not yet out. As I heard a lot of colleagues and friends who delivered their first baby 2 weeks before EDD, it was really a long wait for me.

Currently fully latching my baby but need to prepare her to take bottles as I'm going back to work end of next month.

Wanda: I didn't shave my baby's hair so unfortunately can't give you any recommendations. Anyway, couldn't bear to cos her hair's so lovely and fine.
 


Bunneybluey... Yes, i heard from the nurse too. I checked wif PD on 5 in 1 &amp; 6 in 1... The latter will cause babies to ve high fever. For MMI... It's compulsory ar!

Mrs Liow... I called singhealth polyclinic n they said cnt make appt if baby is 1st visit, no record. However, when i went there, the nurse said possible. After the 1st jab, they will give u appt for subsequent jab.
