Little Kate is having a fever right now. Highest at the moment : 39.7 - lowest: 37.2
Had brought her to the doc but still her fever is like the roller coaster
My mom came over and use the traditional method of boiled egg.
What she does was to roll the boiled egg over her body. this is a remedy left behind by my grandma. it is supposed to remove the heaty-ness in her body
Being curious, I surf the net and found this useful article Fever Cures by the Earth Clinic
The method is a little diff from what mom has done and I'm gona try it out my self right now
Some extract from Earth Clinic
"
from Ontario, Canada writes, "Hi, Ani again. In regards to the egg white for fever remedy I'd like to make a suggestion. I've noticed some people are writing that they use face cloths or towels to soak up the egg white and put on the feet. I doubt the remedy will be as effective if done that way. The material shouldn't be overly absorbent, my mom used old fashioned kerchiefs because they don't absorb too much themselves but are functional in that they hold on to the egg white. Seems people have had luck with using paper towels. Just make sure whatever you're using to put on the feet is completely soaked and dripping with the egg whites. You might have to use several eggs, not just one or two. When done properly this remedy is sure to work."
"
8th Dec: Never get to test out the above as shortly after this posting, kate's fever shot up to 40.7! Ran for the hospital and outcome? She was affected with UTI. Seeing doc this coming friday for her detailed report..

I was watching "discovery home and health"not too long ago and this programme "Mom's word" was interesting.
It's about 2 ladies who have 5 children together and they have loads of experience correcting some children's habit.
Here is their website: http://mumsnet.com
So, what was I looking for??
-> Correcting Kate's sleeping pattern.
Being 1st time mom, I have spoil her by rocking her to bed for the last 5 months. Okok... most of the time, my maid does that on my behalf. =P
Still, as she grows heavier, we need to resolve this. So, yeah. this was what I was reading about

Do you know? Eczema
There are a few various kinds of eczema, the most widespread being "Atopic" which is mainly suffered by babies and children.
According to "My family clinic" located at Pioneer Mall, it will only be found in babies above 6 months.
So, why was Kate's skin like the above all these while? Accordingly to him, most probably the effect of over-drooling and.. sweat.

My complexion has kinda improved since Kate's birth but.. my face is still very oily.

Information Sharing:: Friso Gold 1 infant formula price shot up by $4.10!!!
We were doing our routine wee-hours-in-the-morning 1 am shopping at FairPrice Xtra Jurong Point, and was shocked to see such outrageous price increase.
We used to purchase the 900g Friso Gold 1 (for new born to 6 months) formula milk at $29.90, and its selling for $34.00 now.
We were told that the price increase was due to increased GLOBAL demand!
.
.
.
.
What a justification. I can imagine what the Friso management were thinking:
"We are selling well, let's increase our profit... yay!" *sniggles evilly with high fives*
.
.
-_-"
.
.
Well, they may have just lost a loyal customer because we have been using Friso since Kate was born.
We bought Dumex Mamil Gold this morning.
Latest update as at 17Sept, subject to changes: Friso Gold at Isetan is selling at $31.80. Cheaper than Fairprice.

Information Sharing:: Preparation checklist for your little one
I had absolutely no idea what to prepare for my new born and much research and based on personal experiences, I have compiled a list of items. Some are MUST HAVE, some are not.
For your reference.
NURSING NEEDS
For your reference.
CLOTHING & ACCESSORIES
- Socks – Take into consideration you change 2 pairs a day
Mittens - Bodysuits – Short sleeves with short pants. Preferably not those long sleeves that comes with long pants as some babies grow taller faster
- Long pants – get those with the foot covered. You can save a little time from washing their socks
- Shorts – I personally don’t use them. Waste time and effort
- Long sleeve shirts
- Short sleeve shirts
- Receiving blanket
- Hat – When you go out or alternatively go for towel that comes with hood
NURSING NEEDS
- Bibs – No hurry. They would use them till 4-5months old
- Handkerchief – to clean them or opt for tissue paper. No washing required
- Steam Sterilization Set with tong
- Milk bottle – don’t waste time getting small ones-i.e. max up to 160ml (Can only use for 2 months). Go straight for 260ml. I wasted a lot of money buying milk bottles. Just need to change the teat when they grow older
- Nursing cover – to cover yourself and feed baby. You will be required to bring your kid for checkup within the first week
- Diapers Bag
- Bottle Bag
- Hot flask – to carry water when your out for checkup
- Breastpump – Start with a manual one first as it helps to express your initial milk better than the electrical one. Electrical one can come l ater
BATHING AND TOILETRIES
- Anti-slip rubber mat for the bath tub
- Face towels / wash cloth/ handkerchief – Find those softer material one.
- Small tub for evening cleanup
- Shower bath – You can get them later as hospital usually provide samples
- Shampoo – You can get them later as hospital usually provide samples
- Baby Lotion – don’t use powder as it is not recommended as the baby might sniff in some
- Wet tissue
- Cotton balls – Make sure you have a container to keep them
- Cotton buds
- Diapers (disposable)
- Facial cotton – to clean baby face (for evening cleanup)
- Sterile gauze – to clean baby tongue
- Small container to hold drinking water to clean baby tongue
*************************** - Diapers (washable) – highly not recommended. Waste time and water, waste effort and waste manpower. Each disposable diapers cost between 20 cents to 40 cents. So long you use nappy rash cream, your baby will have minimal rashes
- Nappy liners
- Diaper Cover
- Cloth diaper - Can be used as blanket on hot days and “mattress protector”
***************************
- Nappy rash cream
- Nail clipper
- Changing mat – Get those rubbery feel type.
- Baby massage oil – Optional
BEDDING
1. Cot/ Play pen
2. Crib sheets
3. Waterproof mattress pads
4. Cot mobile – Can come later as your baby wants you for the first month
5. Pillows – not required for the first few months
6. Green bean shell pillow to place on their chest
MEDICINE CABINET
- Thermometer
- Yu Yee Oil (Ru Yi You) / Baby oil that is good for colic
OTHERS
- Pacifiers – though most of us don’t wish to introduce this to your baby. Sometimes, we cant control it. Just have it standby
- Stroller – Can get them when your baby arrives. No hurry
- Car seat
- Baby clothes detergent
- Baby bottle detergent
- Play gym – can get them when they are 2 months old
- Bouncer / Rocker – can get them when they are 2 months old
- Swing – Play by the ear. Might not need them.
Information Sharing:: Organise your diapers basket
As my little one sleeps in the living room in the day,on my bed in the evening time and in her cot at night, we have put all essential items in a basket so that it is easy to move around to change her diapers any time and anywhere.
This is what we need at all times to change her diapers:
1. Wet tissue
2. Diapers
3. Bottom butter
4. Tissue
5. Thermometer - as and when to check her temperature
6. Hand sanitizer
7. Diaper changing mat
8. Facial cotton - To clean her face after each feed and to clean her hands. Kate has been sucking her hands, so we have to clean her hands more often by making her grab them
9. Small container to hold the water
We have another container at the side that holds the cotton roll (Super kiasu right!) to wipe the exterior diaper area Will share with u how it looks like in the next posting.
How do you manage yours?

I have personally engaged Mr Goh #2. Simple, hassle-free procedure. Just give him a ring, provide him your baby information and he will email you a list of names to choose from. Once you are satisfied with the name given, let him know and he will give u a date and time to register your lil one's name. After which, pay him via internet banking.
Love the simplicity!
Information sharing: Baby lotion
I had been using J&J for on Kate since birth and yesterday, we discovered this new Kodomo Baby Lotion Powder from Fairprice. 200ml for $4.50.
They claim to have 5 benefits:
- Dust-free
- Anti-rash
- Moisturizing
- Clinically proven
- Dermatologist-test
Both Hubby and I tested on it and the verdict is, it dries up fast and the texture feels thicker than J&J
Furthermore, one of my gf told me that Kodomo is good for sensitive skin. Though Kate doesnt have this problem, still worth trying as it feels "richer" in texture.

Information sharing: Baby milestone
Are you a first time parent like us? Have you ever wonder if your baby is indeed progressing well? What kinda toys or games should you be playing with your lil one? What should you be expecting?
I guess there are many more questions that you have been always wondering...
I have recently bought this book - Baby milestone by Dr Carol Cooper
"What to expect and how to stimulate your child's development from 0 - 3 years"
I personally find it useful.
Here are some of the chapters that is relevant to me at this moment
3 - 6 months Reaching out
Major milestones
1. Eyes reach their final color
2. Starts on solid food
3. Sleep thu the night
4. Develops better head control
5. Rolls from side to side
6. Sits up
7. Grasps objects
8. Reaches for objects
9. Put toes in mouth
In this sections, she talks about:
1. Growth and health
2. Feeding and sleeping
3. Motor development
4. Hand eye coordination
5. Senses
6. Toys
7.Communication
8.Emotions
Some snap shot on the toys chapter
Toys that can be introduced at this age
- Soft toys
Faces are a constant source of fascination to our lil ones, so, teddy bears, dolls and any other soft toys with faces are perennial favorites. These toys also help to teach our lil ones abt caring and being social, gentle and kind
- Toys with a noise
Until abt 6 mths, our lil one will enjoy rattles and wrist toys such as squeaky toys, and toys that right themselves when knocked over.
From abt 4 month, our lill one could probably b able to squeeze the toys themselves
- Balls
Watch them learn to move the ball themselves. For a start roll it slowly past them across their line of vision.
- Baby gyms and activity centres
Since our lil one can reach out and actively explore with their hands, cradle gyms and activity centres bcome more interesting. There are also play-mat that incorporate different textures for your baby to enjoy.
- Books
Cloth books. Start teachin them how to grasp the end of the book while you hold the other end and read to them!
Interacting with ur lil one thu play
Some suggestions
1. Use finger puppets to act out a story. A game of 'peek-a-boo' will make your baby laugh with glee
2. Toys such as pop up clown or jack-in-the-box appeal to your bb's sense of surprise and anticipation
3. Use small squeaky toys as a game. Hold one in each hand and press one of them. Get ur bb to work out which of your hands is making the squeaks!
4. Nursery rhymes and bouncing songs help speech development
5. Building a tower of beakers or blocks and letting your bb knock it dwn, This also helps him to learn how tower is made
Just love sharing information around. Good day!
