sa avent nag iiba ang shape ng pacifier. may gamit kami ngayon na pang 6-12mos (late na nabuksan) pag pinaglaruan nya para kaya nya na ipasok sa mouth nya yung half ng pacifier. may nakaopen din akong 12-16mos and hindi nya nagagawa dun yung sa 6-12mos na pacifier.
so i guess my point is, observe nyo and check yung shapes/sizes ng pacifier. baka kasi maswallow ng hindi sadya...
pero ako max na gamit ko sa pacifier is 5mos. may 3 akong rotating throughout the day.

grayce, i know how you feel. hindi naman sa nakarelate ako, pero mas magaan nga ang buhay if you have someone to take care of you. i pray that makapunta dad mo or brother mo soon dyan.
but, also prepare na din to hire someone to cook for you and assist you.

kumusta na pala? wala na bang masakit sa yo from the fall sa mothercare? hope ok ka na kahit konti..

Re pacifier - my kids never used one when they were babies.  May mga nagbigay ng binky sa kids ko but those were never used.  Ayoko kasi because of the risk of nipple confusion - I am very vocal about my objection to pacifiers in the breastfeeding threads.  I also did not see any need for it.  Isa pa iyan kasi na iintindihin ko na i-wean off pagdating ng araw. 

Nahirapan akong i-wean off ang kids ko sa bottle. To be honest, mas madali pa for me ang toilet training.  Cold turkey approach ang ginawa ko.  Tinago ko ang bottles nila last December.   3 1/2 years old sila then.  It was about time.

regarding pacifier..
we have 4 now na rotating.... avent din ang brand. nakalimutan ko kung pang anong age itong gamit namin ngayon... basta 2x pa lang kami nagpalit ng age group ng pacifiers...
hinde na ako uli bumili ng bago ngayon..kasi balak ko tanggalin na sya pag nag 2 yrs old na sya.. or maybe earlier.. so far walang butas mga pacifiers nya.. i have one na richell ang brand kasi di nya type gamitin yon.. parang kada gamit dumudulas sa mouth nya tumatalsik.. kaya tinatapon nya yon.

update ko lang kayo kay gianna..

sya has roseola or tigdas hangin... hmmp!
3 days fever.. kahapon lang naglabasan ang rashes nya..
nagpa cbc kami kahapon.. hell yon for us! di kaya ng med tech sa vein..so they opted to prick her finger na lang..which was hell!! sobra!! nagkamali ako don...mas natakot kasi ako sa turok kesa sa gamot eh pag yung finger prick nga pala mas matagal!!!  kasi maraming kukunin eh.. mas matagal pindotin ang daliri..galit si hubby! kasi di nya kaya yung iyak ng bata.. nagka-phobia na yata si gianna.. haaay! bad kami!
anyway.. di maganda ang results..mababa ang platelet count.. pagpunta namin sa pedia.. dapat admit na kami...  sabi nya kasi it could be 2 things.. dengue or measles..mas maige na naka-confine kami para round the clock ma obserbahan..pag naglabasan ang rash.. tigdas hangin.. tapos naalala ko na nung iniwan namin sya sa mom ko last week..yung kapitbahay namin don patapos na yung measles daw.. pero higpit ko na bilin sa mom ko at sa yaya na wag dadalhin don.. i asked the yaya kung dinala don..ang mom ko na makulet..dinala daw don!! dahil tapos na daw yung measles at nakapaligo na yung bata!! grrr.. si mama talaga!!!

tanogn ako ng pedia kung may rashes si gianna sabi ko wala naman akong nakikita apart from the insect bites sa braso at face nya.. i asked kung yun ba itsura non sabi nya hinde daw.. so she checked gianna's torso.. and ayun nga may mga small dots.. petechia type... upon closer inspection meron na din sa likod at paakyat na sa face.. pasensya na po..kasi morena anak ko..hinde masyadong pansinin pag small dots lang..

buti na lang tigdas hangin lang... haay.

grayce
i hope din na meron kang family member na makapunta sa iyo when you give birth.. important din yun sa akin.. lalo pa first time mo din manganak..
ikaw na lang kaya bumili ng ticket for them para wala ng kawala?

Grayce, hope you're doing good by now. We'll be there sa hospital ha..

1 year din nag pacifier si Kyle. I change those pag nagpapalit ako ng teats. Every 3 months more or less.

Marose, hinanap hanap ba nila ang bottles? Was it an immediate success? Parang ang hirap mag wean ng mga bagay bagay sa bata lalo na pag nakasanayan.

Lia, kawawa naman si gianna.. baka magkaphobia na yan kahit kay pedia lang nya. Sa ganyan nag start magka phobia si kyle kakalabas pasok sa hospital. Nagka tigdas hangin na din si kyle noon. He had a high grade fever for 3 nights. Nang mawala ang fever, the rashes came out. Sa tummy, back, and face ang dominant area.

Pia, umiinom na kasi talaga sila ng milk from the tetra pack or cup/glass.  Yung bottle talaga pampatulog lang.  Saka, never silang uminom ng water or juice sa bottle kahit noong baby pa sila.  Derecho sa sippy cup at cup for water and juice.  At first ni-resist ni Marty pero wala siyang magagawa, kasi kinausap ko na sila ni Milo when they turned 3 last June na wala ng bottle.  Kumbaga tumawad pa nga sila ng 6 months eh. ;)  Medyo nag-lessen ang milk intake ng mga kids ko.  It's okay with me because they are eating well.  They can get their calcium requirements from sources other than milk such as cheese, green leafy vegetables, etc.

Recently, nahanap nila ang pinagtaguan ng bottles.  At first, nagpalagay sila ng milk doon pero hindi nila naubos.  Humingi sila ng glass, according to yaya.

Sa school, ine-encourage din sila to drink from a glass (not plastic, yung breakable) and eat from non-plastic plates (pero kiddie size, yung maliit lang).  So feeling ko talaga ready na sila i-wean from the bottle.  Nasasagwaan kasi ako sa mga malalaking bata na nakadede pa sa bottle.  Saka, ang daming classmates ng mga anak ko sira ang mga ngipin dahil sa bottle-feeding.

Lia, get well soon Gianna. Naadmit ba sya sis? Buti nalang nga tigdas hangin lang, kasi nakakatakot ang dengue.

Pacifier namin, sayang yung avent kasi ayan ni K. Ang lalaki kasi. Una ko kasing binigay sakanya Pigeon, eh maliit yun, kaya hindi nya siguro type yung avent. So nakatago lang yung 4 avent pacifiers dito.

Marose, malaking part (sa tingin ko) ang school in situations such as this. Yung weaning na yan. I didn't know na kyle would be able to drink from a cup until he went to school nung 18months sya. Ayaw nya kasi sa bahay. Binabato nya. But after few weeks since he started schooling, aba drinking from his sippy cup na! Then nawala na si sippy. Any cup ok na sya. Ngayon he's into straws. Juice/water/yakult etc. Ang milk namin sa bottle talaga. I haven't tried to offer milk sa cup. Not yet. It's a good idea kung itry ko lang. Baka mag click.

Hindi nasanay si kyle mag milk in between his sleep at night. Hindi namin sya ginigising ever since he was born pag tulog na sya sa gabi. Unless he wakes up, bibigyan namin ng milk nung infant pa sya. The reason being is that we were advised by the pedia na ganon. I didn't know that otherwise was practiced sa atin. Kaya nagulat ako nung first uwi ko ng pinas at bombarded by sermon ako na kaya daw pala lampayatot si kyle noon kasi di ko daw ginigising para dumede kaya di nasanay. Until now we still dont wake him up. And he sleeps through the night. Most of the time 11hrs straight. Minsan nagigising pag nananaginip pero di ko sinasaksakan ng milk ang bibig. Reason ko is yung teeth.

^hindi din patok ang sippy cup samin noon.. all kinds binili ko para lang uminom dun.. meron 3 step, meron 2 step, may barney, thomas, elmo, lahat! lol encouraged by the teacher sa school kasi kaya medyo meron pressure sa part ko. Pero mas naging comfy sya nung tinanggal yung cover (yung sippy). Dun nagstart mag cup. Then straw. In fairness ang mahal dito ng Thomas na bottle na meron straw.. parang $20 ata more or less. Buti sa pinas kami nakabili. 150 pesos lang.

Weng, lapit mo na dumating! :) ano weight ni chloe?

Yung baby ko mahina mag-milk lately. She used to average 600-650ml per day. That's 20-22oz per day. Since the weekend, she's only been drinking about 500ml (17oz). Nung sunday nga 450ml lang pero kasi ang haba ng tulog niya non.

She started taking ferlin (iron and vitamin b complex) and ceelin last sunday din. And nag-vaccines sya last saturday, rv and pcv.

May effect kaya yung ferlin and ceelin sa appetite niya? Yung ferlin ang baho! Smells like blood. Ang hirap ipainom sa kanya kasi she spits it out. Di siguro masarap.

Van, maputla kasi siya so dr chen gave her ferlin. Will ask nga sgain a out this sa next checkup namin on mar 12.

Akala ko din maybe it's the taste eh kaya ayaw mag-milk. Pero kanina, after her meds, i waited mga 5 minutes then let her finish the expressed breastmilk. Ang bilis naman niya naubos. I'm thinking of giving her water sana afer her meds. Iniisip ko din na baka the after taste of ferlin changes the taste of the milk kaya ayaw nita. Eh pero kanina naman ang bilis naubos ng milk.

Pansin ko she sleeps more now. Nagigising every 5-6 hours to feed pero madalas di nauubos yung milk. As in minsan 20ml lang in a feeding then she sleeps for hours.

Baka nga nanibago lang sya sis.

Hay, si Zoe may rashes yung folds sa legs nya.  I read it up on the internet and I found  out na this is called Intertrigo. I'm planning to stop using Mustela lotion muna while I'm treating it and have her use Aveeno or Cetaphil. Which do you think is better?

Feeling ko ang cause nung rashes sa leg folds nya eh hinde nada-dry ng maayos yung mga singit-singit. Since I leave for work kase at 5pm, my mom and her yaya does the PM wash up na. Most of the time, hinde na daw good mood si Zoe by the time na magwa-wash up na kase sinasagad nila ng pagod (hinde pinapag-nap pag afternoon or nagigising kagad) or hungry na talaga. So tendency is, pag pupunasana, magwawala yung bata and hinde nila mapupunasan ng maigi. I've already talked to my mom about this in the past kase napansin ko nung iniiwan ko sa kanya, dun nagkaka-rashes. Natatakot na naman tuloy ako pumunta sa pedia nya kase masasabihan na naman ako non hehe. I just hope na gumaling na kagad yung rashes. I'm putting Lacticare on the affected areas now and I told my yaya to ensure na dry yung areas lage. Hayy, ang hirap talaga pag hinde ako mismo yung nakabantay and nag-aalaga all the time.

Van, hiyang naman sya sa aveeno? If yes, yun nalang kung meron ka pa dyan para no need to buy cetaphil na.
