hmmmm....i think i will donate to that sister cos if I discard the embryos, they do not have a chance to morph into living beings though they are living cells. I believe that the sister will love and treat them as her own (I hope!)
My hubs think differently; I think he will choose to discard cos his thoughts are like what happens if that sister managed to strike naturally and have her own kids? Then what should the embryo kid do?

ya lo...old people said that if you shave the kid botak, the new hair will come out thick. That was what my MIL said. I threw her back, saying that my hub's hair is fine and thin since I know him. it's genes lor.
I feel if the sister is not a Singaporean easier to donate. Cos at least won't bump into each other. N for such cases remain as anonymous is better. If not u donate to do research.
What U mean. Baby come out got hair what. It's original fresh from oven. They not supposed to be botak if born with hair mah.
This is old wives tale la, that baby is unclean coz they pass through the birth canel. That's why have to shave hair and bathe with flower or pomela leaves before going to temple.
When you shave the hair, rationally speaking, it's either because of hot weather or baby is already dropping the hair. I shave my boys's hair coz they started dropping hair. Coz i worried the hair drops at different rate and will have ugly patches, that's why choose to shave. The hair will still grow fine even if you dun shave, unless you宁可信其有，不可信其无。Individual preference.

Hmmm....next x hv chance must ask old folks .....if c sec = never pass thro birth canel = no need shave ? Hehehe....
I agreed w u is personal preference ...those Caucasian also never shave botak from birth but aso nice n thick hair lo....like towkay neo mentioned is genes la....

My MIL dared not carry #2 on day 1. Maybe she was afraid that my #2's hair is stained w my VJJ fluid
My boy start to have cradle cap so am thinking to shave or not. I try not to.
Seriously. HahaMy MIL dared not carry #2 on day 1. Maybe she was afraid that my #2's hair is stained w my VJJ fluid
Isit becoz she scared baby is too fragile? My dad and FIL used to be like that. But after carrying 3 grandchildren, they sorta got used to it and can carry newborn with ease le.My MIL dared not carry #2 on day 1. Maybe she was afraid that my #2's hair is stained w my VJJ fluid
If hair not in patches, dun shave first lor. Wait for the cradle cap to clear up first then consider the shaving part bah.
I apply oil for them now n use cradle cap shampoo. Hopeful can improve.
Actually even if you dun apply hor, most should clear off within 1 month. But i heard applying oil speeds up the clearing tho.

If the baby's hair is thick and baby perspires easily, better to shave. My friend's girl had skin irritation behind her ears cos of trapped perspiration. PD said its eczema. My boy's hair is often drenched in perspiration even though we sleep in an aircon room at 27oC. He had very thick hair at birth n started shedding hair at abt 3 months. So we shaved him bald at 4 mths. For boys, it's easier to make the decision to shave but for girls, parents will be more reluctant to have them botak.
I don't think have nursing room. Maybe your missy have to find a coner at cafe & cover up with nursing cloth or swaddle cloth. Bring cooler bag too. Then frozen to bring back.
U intend to shave or just trim? If trim, I wouldn't cause baby will be dropping hairs

Hi Mummies/ daddies,
Can I ask did any of u occur milk strike by LO before n any solution or is it gg to last for a long time ?
My bub (4.5month) used to drink like a monster suddenly having milk strike! He always drink 120ml or more (every 3 hourly) have been leaving behind 20 or even sometime 1/2 a bott of milk (regardless ebm or fm) for d past week. I try changing d teats (medium flow) with no improvement towards d situation.
It is very frustrating n tiring as every feeding time is like fighting w him n force feeding him. Sometime my mum/I hv no choice but to dream feed him.
Am worry this is gg affect his health n also heartpain tt I hv to throw away d remaining milk (more of ebm as is d effort waking up in middle of nite to express out n some more I low supply).....

My #2 was like that when he was around 6months. His usual was at least 150ml per feed. During that period, he drink at most 50ml per feed and can last 3-4 hours. I also had to dispose the EBM coz can't keep beyond an hour and can't force him to drink if he doesn't want.
After 3 days or so, brought baby to see a PD coz he also had LS. Then i realised he caught stomach flu from ifc and then followed by teething. Have you tried shortening the feeding interval e.g. instead of 120ml every 3 hrs, try feeding 60ml for every 1.5 to 2hours?
