Shihui: thanks for the contacts. Is tat TCM only or for tui na as well???? U tried??
hi ladies
tabaoed lunch back. had a meeting this morning.
sporty> hope ur lil A gets well soon..
re: bb's routine. since we brought bb home from day 1 we let him adhere to his own 'routine' which we tried to understand. thankfully, he sleeps at night. nowadays most of the time he will fall asleep ard 9 - 11pm and wake up 6 -7 (self adjust on weekends). if he sleeps at 9, he will wake up for 1 feed, usually before midnite and sleep all the way to the morning unless his diaper is really full! past 2 days however, he has been crying before falling asleep, my guess is that he is cranky and need some coaxing. i jus put him on my bed and cover him with my 'heavy' quilt. havent put bumpers on the cot so haven let him sleep on the cot for the last week since he is able to turn and once got his leg in between the cot bars thankfully jus for a split second.
day time he naps at my mom's place..nowadays with the new political changes at my office, i realy so sian to stay at office. just lookforward to knock off on the dot daily!
my boy also hasnt pooed for the last 4 days. hope he will poo today finally!!
hope all the ladies enjoy their sumptuous buffet lunch!

MM6J, lil A nva pooped for days too, then I gave her barley drink n she gave me smelly explosive poop =.="

Sporty,
I tried cluster feeding once but didnt work, he still wakes up.
Mayb i dunno how to do it, thats why.
He used to only wakes up once a night @ 3am but last week after his jab, he start waking up at 1am, 3am, 6am then 8am.
You are right, cos i am starting work soon and baby is getting heavier and very cranky when he needs to slp, mum got pek chek once last week and vent out on me. Thats when i think i had to do it, if not mum & me will sure went crazy after work starts, i scare my mum may abuse him if he continues to be so naughty, hahahha.
Starrz,
Your other caregiver had to be on the same platform as you for it to work, if not, baby's crying will be wasted.
Suggest u finish the book and pick a fri so that you can go tru the program w baby during the weekends.
Kimifin,
You wan me to email you the ebook?
Updates: 2nd nap went well too, baby fall aslp immediately when he hits the bed at 12.30pm, no crying =)

Rue: hmm i think now is the times all mama AND bb lose hair le..ytd i think Chenmama said someone advise is to use aloe vera to put on the hair le..
Hi Hi, me on my way back to office to see CEO and also renew my contract. Yippy, renewing of contract means got $ but will miss my gal real soon. As I will be going back to work soon.
Hi Rue, I think most of the working mother having the same schedule as you after work. Atleast you r better. Imgaine when go back to work I still have to fetch my gal home from my mum's place, it will be tiring too.

Babylele, no need.
fieda, yah. but 1 day, he has to learn to settle on his own. So far, he can self settle if he wakes up in the middle of the nite of feeds. but day time, once he is up for certain time, it takes a lot of effort to coax him.
my bb sitter says, kids she looked after last time, just eat n sleep.
but now, kids more wakeful...
duno she hinting my bb v difficult to take care.

Hi ladies!
This morning I went for an interview....so far so good....cos the person hiring is my friend! hahah...
The job scope is very interesting, something that I would definitely wanna learn and do. HOWEVER the office is in Ubi while I live in Jurong west....today I took 2 hours to get to the office. Sianzzzzzz.....my hubby is not very happy with me going for this job due to the long travelling time. I told my friend the distance is a huge deterrent for me.
I'm afraid that if I take up the job, I will not have much time to interact with my baby cos by the time I reach home, it would be near her bedtime
What would you ladies do if you were me? Should i just focus on looking for a job that's not too far from my home? Just worried that I may not be able to find sometime suitable.

ashley if u are driving i guess is okay. 2 hour of travelling is really super taxing. Last time i work in changi and stay at choa chu kang it was really super doper taxing and tiring (and i am single then). I guess u really need to seriously think abt it

I am back at work too. Miss my boy so much. He was so naughty, did not want to drink his milk. My hub's aunt is looking after him and when she fed him in the afternoon, he refuse to drink. So basically, he drank at 9am and refuse to drink until 4pm when my mil went to the aunt's place to feed him. He also refuse to sleep until they place him in his own pram. I think he miss home.
