hi hi, Kwoli24 - I use Mamy Poko at night and on weekends but was given the NTUC Fairprice diapers as a gift 4 packs of 60! My goodness. Anyway, they cannot take longer than 4 hrs of pee. Basically, it will reach its saturation point and just leak. I have some work pants that have suffered...

Ooops. Forgot! Liting - for milk formula, never dilute it unless directed by a PD or other professional. You are depriving your baby of the necessary nutrients from each feed. Agree with Sandy and the other mothers. Heatiness can be caused by many other reasons. Make barley water -...

hey mummies! I am back at work today and can post in peace. Had a long weekend as my mother needed to do medical checkups with X-rays and doctor doesn't encourage her to be near a child below the age of 5! I didn't know until now! So we learn something new everyday. I'm so damn exhausted...

Liting, 2 teaspoons to 10ml or 20ml of water is too much. The general rule of thumb is 1 tsp (about 5ml) to 25ml or 30ml (up to 1oz). Otherwise it is too sweet. Meantime, on its usage. It's really to rid wind and not colic. As for timing, I do it after bath-time. Isabelle is now past the...

hi mummies, sorry didnt post yesterday! Celebrated my wedding anniversary and hung out with husband! Anyway, hope everyone enjoys their Sophies! Meantime, think baby is undergoing a growth spurt. Her last feed used to be 10+ to 11pm but now she's got to have another feed at 1 or 2am...

corrine YES! The shop is called Little Colette. I saw Sophie the Giraffe there. It's a pretty shop right? But super expensive baby things. I remember Sophie was like... $30+? So it's $39! Anyway, agree with you, sometimes babies just cannot afford to wait! Must say, the rest of the...

Sheepish - I really hope to meet u at the nursing rooms at church someday. Haha. Yeah I'm continuing with bfeeding for as long as possible. Anyway, I am averaging 2.5oz per pump now.. It's enough for 2 feeds (total about 4-5oz each feed altho, I could really do better lah. So I will...

Popipi I am giving baby Rotavirus and Pneumococal. As much as they are suffering at the jab and the few days after, it is much lesser than if they got the virus. My girl got the 1st Rotavirus jab at the 5-in-1 and suffered only for the day. Her poop was watery for a few days but she was...

lonerunner, Don't be discouraged. I think sometimes routine can be a drag but to have one is very good for baby. Try to do more on the weekends to give yourself some allowance to be yourself. Me? I drag husband+baby to my girly lunches with 2 gal pals so that I can have my 'me' time but...

Taztaz, happy_mummy, curiousgal and Pumpkin Seed - Thanks! She looked like Daddy at birth but thankfully, still quite girly. She's great but a real handful! I only wish can have Yaer's baby's poufy tai-tai hair! AG - I bought my handheld blender from Harvery Norman. It's $49 and its a...

Hi Mummies! Waah so many posts already. Just an update. Had a 'showdown' with the maid last night. Gonna draw up a strict schedule that includes rest times and meal times. Basically, want her to rest at the right times and prioritise the chores. The schedule will be in black+white with our...

hi mummies.. sorry going back to topic of # 2... Those mummies with fear of difficult pregnancy and miscarriage. I had 2 miscarriages before getting pregnant with Isabelle. 1st was missed miscarriage? Bled out at 5-6 weeks and 2nd, there was suddenly no foetal development at 11 weeks. I...

Mummies... Just read all the posts on this little giraffe. Sophie is sold at a few places. I can't remember all but I know for sure, it's at this little shop at Forum B1. Its at the corner before the toilets/ lifts to office. They have the Sophie Giraffe for sure. The price is like...

AG I agree with you. I don't see why relatives and all have to coax the helper to eat meals! Argh! The situation is she follows baby. So most times, going back and forth from my place to my mum's. She ends up doing chores here and there. But we pay her extra and she was agreeable to the...

happy_mummy haha! She's already a transfer! My 1st choice was direct from Philippines but I had to wait 3-4 weeks and that would coincide with my coming back to work. Too much stress with training and all. So I picked her, did face-to-face interview. Btw, my helper is slow also lor. But she...

Hey mummies, Sandy - she likes to clean more or less the same places/ things every day. She won't do it again and again in the course of the day but definitely the next or the day after, she'll do it! Which is not our requirement. I don't mind OCD because I have a little bit of it so it's...

Sandy, thanks. She's a good worker but we don't need a robot. We need someone who takes instructions, cleans when she is asked to, rests when asked to and eats when asked to. If she doesn't there'll be a whole lot of problems. Health, being one of them. We told her, as a domestic helper...

mummies - why stop at 1? I'm in no position to say anything but 1 is really lonely. My mum had many miscarriages before she had my bro. So for 11 years, I had to be vv independent. Can cook+fry veg at 8 yrs old - waah sounds like damn 'lao gu dong' story but my mum was afraid that I would be...

hey happy_mummy and Sandy, thanks for the encouragement. I think I will try. You are right.. 3 oz per pump is better than nothing. There are a lot of contributing factors to my decision lah. I'm mostly worried that once I stop BM, Isabelle will have lesser immunities (altho, most...

hi mummies, sorry busy morning! I can barely catch up! Happy_mummy - PLEASE CONTINUE TO BF even when sick! My theory is more or less the same but the best antibody produced is when you latch, lesser or not when pumping/ expressing. Thats what the books says, what my gyn says too. Haven't...
