Tui Na

Edna crying been killing me... thou I am always ear plug mode... but well.. its just that i dunw an to get bothered by her crying... not that I do not bother.. still I wan to curb her crying..
The rid wind Dr Tan gave dun realy help and so she gave me another medicine call 'acolic' instead.. well well it doesnt realy help much and it does have side ffect like puking.. after taking a few times.. it doesnt realy seem to work... I finaly decided that she should try out other method .... TCM Tui Na.. its liek massaging but more on the acupoints...
I brought her to Yu Guo after some recommendation and reviews by various friends and serene.
Sinseh said she had a super bloated tummy... (ahh so her fat tummy is not cos she got fat but its bloated!!).. alot of wind inside!
Also she mentioned this little fella is afraid of heat.. cos of her heat rash on her face... Advised mi nt to gie her formular as well sicne I been supplementing her w 1 feed at nite for sake of not wasting the formular =(
she said breast milk is best! and so I chuck that tin of formula away!

The whole tui na proces sis that the sinseh will 'prescribe' what is to be massage on.. the acupoints to be precise.. then the tui na lady assigned will do it accordingly as prescribed
and also herbs are given.. in small sachets.. to be wrap ard the tummy... OSMOSIS???

Edna dun realy like the massage at 1st... at the rate of $20 per tui na.. herbs are charged seperately.. we were told to bring her back everyday for it.. aft going for 5 days ... I was shacked out... but I still continue to do so.. cos... I could see she begin to get used to it.. and she seems better too!!!!

its quite amazing how touchin a certain part of her left hand.. cound do the job... and oh yes.. she farted more than usual too!

Hope she recover soon.... at least make the money spent worth it!

6 in 1 Jab

Its week 6 and 2 days, time for the nxt jab... we opted for 6 in 1 jab to spare Edna from the extra pain fr the jab. So the idea of having her jab at poly clinic is passed. Initilay tot of gg to KKh for it.. but since its pretty far fr the MRT and I dun hav access to the car easily... I choose the option of gg to the PD near our home.

Dr Tan fr Kidz Clinic was rec by Judy whose son goes to her too. She is a fast speaker LOL... I almost couldnt catchup w her speed despite I speak very fast too LOL

She gave us an appt for the jab while Edna is in her 6th week.

Weighing 4.4kg... Edna is 1kg heavier fr birth.. I wouldnt think thats a big increment since most of myf riends bb gain much more weight ina mth than Edna in 6 week. But each baby is different... hard to compare.. esp each parenting method is different too which actualy contributes to hw a baby feed, and sleep. And Edna is not a demand feed baby. More on a scheduled feed except at nite. And thus perhaps it contribute to the not so much weight increment. .But since Dr Tan said she is growing well.. there is no call for concern.

Measuring at 56cm... she is on a tall side as I was told.. Actualy I cant believe she is onli 56 cm.. since she seems much longer than birth...hehe

She have got some eczema on the face since she always like to b on her tummy. The heat between her face n the mattress is causing her those ugly rashes.. days where she is out w no tummy time.. her face is smooth like tofu...



Her good skin day...

Being only in her 7th week or less.. I would think this lil fella is quite a "mature" girl.. ...

For she already have tears since day 3 of birth while doctor said tear ducts r usualy matured onli ard 3 mth or later.
and also she drools alot before she was 1 mth old.. NO new born drool I was told.. I voice my concern bout this to Dr Tan and she said usualy bb dun drool so early.. Again.. it could be due to her early maturing of the saliva gland... she loves to suck her fist!!! and thats also before she turn 1 mth.. tskkk

Bot forgetting she can lift up her head really high .. super neckpower!!!
and she can wriggle all over the bed..inching herself forward..rubbing herself against the side of the cot.. and she nudge me off the bed literally!!!

Hope she grow up soon thou.. her crying is crazy haaaa
here she goes wailing while I blog... grr...
