AKW,
My daughter attend Cantonese only. I tried to talk to her in Cantonese before, but she has speech delayed problem and I dont want to take any chance, so I switch to full english until she picks up speaking. Now her mind has set in english and she refused to speak chinese. She knows if I speak Chinese but I know she doesnt understand and I am too lazy to repeat everything twice. I put her in Chinese class to see if she interests to learn. One semester finished but she just too young as they require her to write Chinese, dictation and test....she doesnt even know how to write her name...I want to wait she is older and may try again.
I know we will be in Canada and Chinese name doesnt really require. Plus I dont want any complication in her passport and she can add any Chinese name before she turn 18 anyway, so just make it simple.
I know travel system is convenience, but in Canada it is expensive! The same Graco Quattro set, Sears sold as CAD$370 includes taxes. Now you see why I said Canada is expensive in terms of shopping! Besides, our car is too small. The stroller is too bulky and it will take over the whole trunk! How can I do shopping? Plus I also have another problem by putting 2 car seat in my Corolla? Now Monique is sitting in the middle and her legs will crash the front seat if I put her on the side. She is just 30lbs and too small to go for booster seat! I can only squeeze myself in the front in order to accommodate 2 car-seat!!
Just wonder where you put your son when he was really young? I dont like playpen as I dont like to bend. My bedroom is upstair as well as the baby bed, my living room is downstair and I am thinking where to put my baby while I am at home. Any suggestions?
veldasharpe,
It is very common to have constipation and please stay calm!
Did you ask the doctor what is the cause? Didnt drink enough water? "Heat" inside the body? or what else?
Just a common sense, drink more water can always help. Prune juice is another solution for something with fiber.
我鐘意你同我講 I Love U, I Love U Too！
You are the sunshine of my life. That's why I'll always stay around. You are the apple of my eye. Forever you'll stay in my heart.
Thanks for everyone's advices. I am getting desperate coz it is such a nuisance. I had to bring Alex to the doctor the second time in 2 weeks.
Deebrown:
Actually, she is eating a variety of brands of cereal: Gerber, Healthy Times and Organix. She seems to like Healthy Times the best but I really cannot pick out which one caused her constipation. Also, she had been drinking Snow Brand (Japanese Versions) since birth so I am very reluctant to change brand. However, as she is nearly 7 months old now, I BF her less, only around 3 meals a day. Also, I tried to give her pear and apple juice but she refused to drink them, not to mention water!!! So, don't know what is the long-term solution to this.....
Velda> Hope Alex will get better soon! My colleague's boy had the same problem as Alex and she has decided to change the formula brand from A+ to 森永 as she heard that it's better for popo...
I think lots of BB have 痰 and as long as it is not very serious/cause BB to cough, it is alright. However, you do have to observe whether Takumi make strange noises when asleep, e.g. wheezing sounds. But it is very difficult as BB do snoore. I think you should consult a doctor if in doubt, just to reassure yourself.
Anyway, don't worry too much. I am sure Takumi is fine. How are you coping with your life as a new mother???
Kiely did not drink any kind of juice when she was younger. She just won't take them. Except Tomato juice or V8, still loves them.
I'm lucky because she does drink water quite often.
How about give her 開奶茶once a week & see if her it will improve?
I think it's the 糊仔 that made Alex constipation.
Arthur is having 糊仔 & apple once a day and he loves it. Maybe you should let Alex try apple see whether she like it
Thanks Shah! Just wonder are you a good cook? Did you learn how to cook Pakistian food?
veldasharpe,
Have you try to give your baby natural food instead of all ready made food. Just cook congee and I think that is good for digestion. Add different flavor and stop giving all ready make stuff, then baby will be fine. Trust our traditional food!
xother,
Does Monique hold HK passport or Canadian passport? Do you know if a baby who is born overseas (like my son and your son) can still get HK passport in addition to the US/CAD passport?
If you have a small car, I don't suggest you to buy the travel system because it is very bulky. We have a civic and a SUV so we installed the car seat in the SUV. Even the SUV has a big trunk, the stroller from the travel system still takes up quite a bit space! You should consider buying a universal infant car seat carrier which is much smaller, lighter and cheaper. When you have 2 car seats in your car, I think you have to install them on the sides; you can't have a car seat in the middle anymore, otherwise the other one can't be installed.
We have a playpen which includes a removable fullsize bassinet and a changing table. With the bassinet, you don't need to bent too low! We also have a bouncer and a swing. The bouncer is very useful because it's light and small so you can move it anywhere you are and put your baby there with you! The swing is also nice as it helps to sooth a fussy baby and provides another good nap place~ Hope this helps! Do you have a baby monitor?
veldasharpe,
When my son had constipation problems, his pediatrician sugguested us to give him prune juice, which really helped. Later when my son had diarrhea, his pedi suggested us to give him more rice cereal and banana. Maybe you can consider reducing the amount of rice cereal you give your daughter until her poopoo is back to normal. Hope she feels better soon!
