My comment:

I bath my baby 2 times a day, around 9am and 5pm. Before bathing my baby, I apply some herbal medicated oil onto the top of his soft spot and belly button. My parents also ask me to apply some onto his middle chest as well. After the bath and dry off baby's belly button, I apply again on the same 3 spots. It's believe to avoid wind goes inside the tummy.

Sometimes I see baby's head skin is dirty. Some dirt may even being peeled off easily by finger nails. It may be due to the usage of medicated oil for too many times and it has been added on some sweats of baby. So, I apply on some Drapolene to soften the dirt and peel them off carefully with comb.

Wilisan 100% Pure Glycerine

A clear, colourless, syrupy liquid with a sweet taste as a protective cleansing solution for oral hygiene.

Directions for Use:

Apply on the affected area 3 to 4 times daily. Use cotton wool soaked with glycerine to clean oral cavity, then rinse the mouth with water.

Precautions:

Do not swallow the glycerine in large amount, it may cause headache, nausea and vomiting.

My comment:

I always use it to clean my baby's milk stains on his tounge and mouth after his daily morning bath. I tried to taste the glycerine. It's mint flavoured. Since brushing is unavailable at the stage of newborn, we clean their tounge and mouth by rubbing this glycerine. After rubbing, I give a bottle of water for him to drink. He seems ok to it and like it. But, at the late first year of age, he refuse to rub with it. So, I switch to rub his tounge with only handkerchief during his bath.

GSK Drapolene Cream

Drapolene Cream is effective for the treatment and prevention of nappy rash. It also provides soothing relief for minor burns and wounds.

Nappy Rash
Babies have sensitive skins which need extra care. The nappy area is particularly prone to rashes and even the best kept babies get nappy rashes and sore bottoms from time to time.

Nappy rash is due to irritation of the skin by the chemical breakdown of urine through urine-splitting germs. At first, the skin is spotty red and moist, later becoming thick and wrinkled, then peeling at the edges.

Other complicating infections may develop if the tender skin is left unattended.

Drapolene contains 2 gentle, yet powerful antiseptics, which kill the urine-splitting germs. Drapolene treats and prevents the infection whilst it soothes and brings relief to baby’s tender skin.

Treatment Direction:
Change soiled napkin regularly. Wash and dry baby’s bottom and apply Drapolene Cream after every nappy change.

How to obtain best results with Drapolene Cream?
When applying Drapolene Cream, spread evenly paying particular attention to the folds of the skin. It is important to make sure that the affected area is dry and free from all traces of soap.

My comment:
Sometimes I see red spots on my baby's bottom skin. It may be caused by too frequent usage of diapers or putting on diapers for too long time. Sometimes when he has a constipation, the area around the hole became red. So, I apply some Drapolene evenly on the affected area.

It's seldom that my baby's folds of skin affected. The folds of skin are mostly affected due to urine-splitting.

I apply the Drapolene on my baby's skin whenever it's needed. Sometimes 3 times a day when the skin area became affected.

Fullmoon Celebration

It's the tradition that a baby boy will celebrate his fullmoon on the 30th day from his newborn.

偶尔分床睡也有好处

分床睡可以保持夫妻间“亲密的距离感”。作为夫妻，每个人都有自己的社会交际圈，也都有各自不愿为外人知道的隐私。分床而居，不但为各自保留了一片自我空间，对双方的心理健康也大有好处。此外，也可以营造夫妻间神秘的新鲜感。维护婚姻常新的秘诀是保持神秘，当对方的吃喝拉撒全部出现在视线范围之内，双方最后一线神秘感也荡然无存。此时，适当的分床而居就可以为双方营造一种新鲜感，为婚姻生活增添点浪漫气息，起到小别胜新婚的作用，为下一次亲密接触埋下些许期待。
