Hi parents, which brand of toothpaste do u recommend for 13 months baby? Can the toothpaste be swallowed as he still does not know how to spit out the toothpaste. Thanks in advance!

Earth's Best Toddler Toothpaste comes highly recommended by my mommy friends. It is fluoride free and safe if swallowed as it contains a natural formula. It is recommended for children ages 6 months - 3 years. Plus with flavours like strawberry banana, what's not to like? You can get it at most online baby stores like Agapebaby but if you usually order things from iherb, you can get it there as well, at about 7 sgd. http://sg.iherb.com/Earth-s-Best-Toothpaste-Strawberry-Banana-1-6-oz-45-g/17265

What is slapped cheek syndrome?

a friend of mine had mentioned the same which is when i first heard about it. It is a type of viral infection that mostly affects children between years 4 and 10, even though it can happen anytime during childhood or even adult years. some of the most common symptoms are fever, stomach pain, digestive problems, and headache, but can often get misdiagnosed as a stomach bug or simple viral fever too. It mostly spreads when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and the virus spreads to those who come in contact. In most cases, it gets better on its own, but if you notice the symptoms for a prolonged time, say more than a week, make sure you take your child to the doc. i found this article helpful, and you can take a look too http://www.rch.org.au/kidsinfo/fact_sheets/slapped_cheek_or_fifth_syndrome/

What are the symptoms of slapped cheek syndrome in children?

Slapped cheek syndrome is a mild to moderately contagious viral infection common among school children aged three to 15, occurring particularly in the winter and early spring. Slapped cheek syndrome is caused by parvovirus B19 and is spread by respiratory secretions from an infected person. By the time the rash appears, children are no longer infectious. The incubation period (the period between infection and signs or symptoms of illness) is usually four to 14 days, but can be as long as 21 days. Adults who work with young children such as childcare providers, teachers, and those in healthcare fields are most likely to be exposed. Here are the symptoms of slapped cheek syndrome in children: - High temperature (fever) of 38C (100.4F) - Bright red cheeks - A flat or raised red rash, usually on the arms and legs, which lasts from two to 39 days and may itch. The rash fades from the centre of red areas towards the edges, giving it a lacy appearance. The rash can recur after exercise, warm baths, rubbing the skin or emotional upset. - Less commonly, headache, sore throat and joint pain The following symptoms are more frequent and more severe in adults with parvovirus B19 infections, and they generally precede the rash, which often does not occur in adults, by seven to 10 days: - Headache - Sore throat - Muscle pain - Joint pain - Abdominal pain - Fever Most foetuses are unaffected when their mothers contract the virus, and it has not been proven to cause birth defects. However, if a foetus becomes infected, the virus can disrupt the foetus's ability to produce red blood cells, leading to a dangerous form of anaemia, heart failure, and sometimes miscarriage or stillbirth. Hope it helps!

What is croup?

Hi, croup is a common respiratory condition in children usually caused by a viral infection or allergic reaction. It affects the windpipe (trachea), the bronchi (airways to the lungs), and the larynx (voice box). A child with croup will have a cough that sounds like a dog barking, as well as making a rasping noise called stridor as they breathe in. Usually a child suffering from croup is recommend treatment at home. However, if the child is having trouble breathing, emergency hospital treatment may be needed.

I'd like to get some advice and pointers (on weaning and introducing solids) from parents who have sent their babies to infant care. My daughter shall be turning 6mo in about a month's time. I would like to follow the 3 day rule when preparing purees for her. I would like some help in terms of the following: 1) How much food should I prepare so that I can bring to the ifc to complement the breastmilk which should still be her main intake? 2) Stupid question, but am I right that bm volume can increase even though she is taking solids? or should bm volume be adjusted lower since she has additional food source? 3) I read that solids should preferably not be fed in the evening as it is harder to digest. Does this mean that I would not get to feed my baby solids on weekdays since I am working full time and I get to see her only around 7pm or later? 4) I plan to prepare my own purees for her in advance. Polyclinic doc advised me to start with the not-so-nice-tasting veggies to expose her to such tastes first. What veggies are good for a start? Will be using the Philips steamer/blender. Do I wait for the blended puree to cool down first then freeze? if so, where and how should I keep the hot puree aside to cool down (avoid contamination and bacteria)? 5) If I intend to freeze in small quantity cubes, and then apportion/transfer required qty to bm storage bags (i have excess), should I take them directly out from the freezer only on the very morning itself or should I transfer down to the lower fridge compartment the night before? 6) Do I give bm and purees for a start or bm and cereals? Thank you in advance for your contribution and sharing in any possible way. Cheers!

Thaw the night before. So that by morning you can heat it up. Just put in the lower fridge. Also yes, food must be cooled down before putting it in the freezer.

Do we blend the fruits to puree straight away or do we steam it first?
