any idea how to not to let bb form a habit n fall asleep during latching?
i thk my bb got monday blues yesterday, an hour after fetching him from nanny place n back to my place, he cried n my hub cant do anythg. when bb saw me busy at home, n did not carry him, he cry even louder.
so end up, i carry him, he quiet down...but latch him, he dun z...rock him n pacifier, no use.
end up, put him on sofa with pacifier, with a few pats, he sleep for 4-5 hrs! even can skip 1 nite feed!

Stacey, I was a SAHMTB but after baby is out, I wanna work.....I'm very weird hor? LOL!
I guess my savings has run out so I better work for my own money again! I could be a SAHM if I want but I think it's better if I work because:
1. with baby in the pic, expenses are going up and relying on one income is not easy.
2. even though my hubby is ok with me being a SAHM, I prefer to go out to work and feel "normal".
3. I didn't do a good job being a SAHM and since my mum is a much better caregiver to the baby, I rather go out and work.
4. I think my hubby prefers that I work too so that I can help chip in financially for big ticket purchases as such upgrading our car or house.
I don't drive
I think it's high time I pick up driving! Was looking at the SMRT map just now. With the circle line opened next month, I may be able to save some time on travelling to Ubi...takes not more than 1 hour and 20 mins! Hhahaha...
I really envy those who can find work near your house. I can't seem to have any luck with that!

Ashley,
yeah, its quite mind boggling to stay home 24-7 with bb. Air outside seemed fresher! but then the grass is always greener on the other side! haha..1hrs20min still quite long leh..
kimifin,
Im not sure abt yours but i dont need to change from 11pm till 10am coz like very little urine during this time..I usually dont change the night diaper till the morning bath..gross hor? but i guess quality of diaper impt too to prevent rash ba. wee hours change diaper v sian. risk of waking baby some more..

Wah so many posts! i was trying to read all haha.
lucky din go isetan today. was at paragon and wanted to head down to isetan but cos need to rush home to pump, din go. i'm actually waiting for taka baby fair. wanna buy baby monitor liao
as you gals ah. for those of you who store FBM. when the FBM is near expiry, do you let baby drink FBM even tho you still have enough fresh milk to give baby? i always think tat it is good to give baby fresh milk but then i will waste my FBM. so thinking of letting baby clear the FBM while i freeze the fresh milk. but then more nutritious to drink fresh milk rt? aiyoh so dilema. if i let baby drink fresh milk, then i have to throw my FBM away?

ashley: i know how u feel wor~ I was a SAHMTB also~!!! Though i joined property last april after my job contract ended, I didnt do much coz my pregnancy wasnt very smooth
Very bad MS for first trimester and Cant walk much coz of low blood pressure for 3rd trimester.. and worse.. the super horrible heartburn~!!! Anyway i was supposed to go and get a full time job for the same reasons as urself...
But hor, after some thought, i think i will continue with property and get a maid instead. So i can still go out and also run property in the daytime when only grandma is around. Coz if i go and work full time hor, by the time i get home, i maybe too tired to play for long with my girl, and worse if i do OT, she may have fall aslp.. whereas, doing property i will be working OTOT... sooo i can plan my time according and watch my girl grows up Hope I can still help with the hsehold financial strains after the biz pick up..
swanston: my girl loves her thumb~!!! Hahaha she also always suck until very shiok like that~!! hahaha i was a thumb-sucker til 9mths when i grow teeth myself
is it okay to let the baby start walking so soon? my girl loves sitting up and standing up now leh!!! she hates lying down unless she needs to drink her milk~
woooo~ do u all bring ur babies for the lunch meetup ah? Heehee...

nicole: i also dropping hair
botak soon!!! my fren in july forum said some of the mummies there were practically balding~!!!
answer for the poll:
- initially i wanted to put bb in infant care centre coz my mil working (though i staying with her nw) and my mum cant handle two babies (including my 16mth niece) herself. But changed my mind later coz it doesnt solve the problem of me coming home from work very tired already and yet need to caretake my own bb. And worse, my hubby said later affect our marriage coz cannot go out and pak tor.
- hence thought of getting a maid and put at my mum hse so can help her with hsework while she takes care of the two babies. But then... she said if i do property then she won't be helping me out le since my working hrs more flexible.
- hence the final decision is to be a Stay-At-Home Working mum with a Maid~!!! Hahaha... With my more flexible working hrs, I can plan my schedule according so I can spend time with baby whenever I can. Yet there is someone to help me with hsework or baby whenever required. At the same time, take care of grandma if required.
Not sure if it will be a good option coz i m still choosing my maid. Hope i get a good maid or else i think i will be more stressed!!!

Haha, my boy has finger sucking problem too. Plus he likes to scratch his face. Do you guys substitute it with pacifier instead"? I'm against its use but both in laws and hubby think it calms baby down and is better than letting him such his fist.
Btw, how long can I store frozen breast milk? Some say 2 months, others say 3 months. Rachelle Ling: I've the same dilemma as you too! Sometimes my refrigerated milk expired by 1-2 hours. I hope it's still ok to give baby?

mitsy, ic no wonder...i thot u were supposed to send ur boy to infant care...
kimifin, its natural tha bb will fall asleep during latching....my gal also do tha lor...but sometimes after i stopped nursing when shes "high" to prevent her from being hooked to my boobs... i dun change nappy between 9pm to 5am even if sometimes my gal wake up for milk... i am using pampers for her and so far so good
ashley, weigh the pros and cons before u accept the offer lor...if u wanna spend more time with ur gal, i'm sure u can find other jobs nearer to town/home...

swanston, wahh...u put ur gal in walker liao? i dun think my gal can cuz her neck like not strong enough leh...

rhapsodyrach, if you keep your bm in normal freezer which is together with your normal frozen food, can keep up to 3 mths. but if you buy those deep freezer which you seldom open, can keep up to 5 mths - 6 mths. How long do you keep refrigerated milk? there was an article which says can keep milk in refrigerator for 4 days. but i usu keep for 2 days then freeze it.
Sporty, i have the same sentiments as you. i feel like giving fresh milk to my boy. but then a bit worried that fresh milk won;t last for 6 mths (want to bf him for at least 6 mths) and i will not have fbm by then....

sporty: rachelle wana let her bb gets used to fbm so when she started working and lose ss, he still gets the bmilk for another few mths
so envious of those who has bmilk.. my bmilk has always been 5-10ml, max 20ml.. hahaha... so i gave up after 1.5mths...

I started this since Sun bedtime so today is the 2nd day of training.
Baby can slp by his own since last night feeds, after his feed, basically i jus leave him on the bed while i wash the bottles and by the time i went in, he is slowly drifting off and fall aslp within 5 mins.
Its the same on the 2nd night feed too and his naps.
Suggest including "feeding" as your last bedtime routine, cos i realise baby is calmer and easier to drift away when having a full stomach.
Good luck! =)
Ashley,
If i am you, i wont take up the job unless the pay is good enough to include taxi fares to and fro or if u can drive cos in the long run, 2hrs of travelling can kill and basically you loses all your life cos its jus too far to travel out and going home.
MmJ6,
you made me feel sad to return to work next week cos i will miss baby as mch too! I hope i dun hv the impulse to quit my job man!
Melodie,
pls pm me so i can email you the ebook ya.
Swanston,
its a sleep training program for babies to advocate self soothing and slpg on his own instead of having to rock him to slp.
Invloves abit of crying thou, i guess if a few days of hard crying saves him fr crying everytime he is slpy is worth it in the long run.
Can read for information only if u are keen, pm me ya. =)

SAHM, very happy too!
vfm, yup, nice things need not be exp. And we need to upkeep our image, lest we become aunties... So continue with facial and massages! =)
This evening, my gal again refuses to latch under nursing shawl when time's up for drink. Had to do it without the shawl, but luckily we were already in the car. She just refuses to be covered! How do you gals train your babies to drink under the shawl? I can't go to nursing rooms all the time... sigh.

melodie, going hwa xia where he does his swimming.. it's $10 for members, $16 for non-members. I have no idea whether it's good but since we going there regularly anyway, just do there lor.
by the way they also do baby massage - $10 for members, $22 for non-members. I might let bb go for 1 massage just so that i can see and learn to do it myself at home.. i prefer to be the one touching my bb all over myself!! haha

FieDa, so coincidental. BTW, you son sleeps in the Yao Lan at night or cot? If cot our bb's sleeping pattern is exactly the same
My MIL says my daughter is so abnormal. But if I can find another baby like that, it means normal. BTW, if BB are not like ours, electric yao lan manufacturer would have closed down long ago!

hi ladies, sorry i can't keep up with the posts here.
btw, i see some of your babies can stand and walk liao?? so fast?
mine can only sit in her bumbo nia, can't flip yet.
neck strong la, but other than that nothing new lei.
i am also dropping a lot of hair, use baby shampoo can ar? should try liao, cos i am balding!
my bb still can't sleep thro lei, maybe cos she sleeps from 8 till about 11 or 12am. then after that she wakes up every few hours still. sigh.
i just latch her then go back sleep.
the hwa xia at plaza sing is the service good?
last time i go to their punggol branch but they close down liao, now dunno where to go.
thought it was 30 bucks, if 16 still can consider..
my bb head very small lei, only the 50th percentile.
weight 6.7kg and length 65cm.
wondering if head small is ok.
my bb can poo once every fortnight lei, pee also very little, like saving diapers for us cos mummy and daddy no money.
haha

raerae,
Funan TCM doesn't offer tui na only medication. Actually newborn can start to take chinese medication. My boy took chinese medication for bloated stomach at 1 mth old.
babylele,
Is the book u read called Babywise? Wow ur baby very easy to train. When i started training my boy during confinement it still took sometime when he started sleeping on his own.
starrz,
The book "On Becoming Baby Wise - giving your infant the gift of nighttime sleep" i read said some babies need to cry it out in order to fall asleep. Yah had to be hard hearted to let them cry it out but think on the bright side is that u r actually teaching them a skill to sleep on their own. The max i had let my boy cried was about 20mins.
Sporty,
I thought ur girl was taken care by ur mum so its ur husband. Ur husband ok to take care of ur girl? He must be very good with babies. My husband cannot take care of baby cause he's impatient and bad tempered. He still complained he no life due to us as nowadays he does try to help out with housework but at least he still have some time of his own. I even more no life cause there's no one else to help me with the baby. So sometimes feel very sian cause when i go out i still have to rush back to feed my baby so can only go out for 2-3hrs including transportation time which is very short loh.
Poll:
SAHM, happy to take care of my children but lack of my own time so at times will feel down.
My boy now doesn't feed well in the day cause he's so easily distracted and will look here and there with my nipple in his mouth thus pulling my nipple here and there and sometimes just pop out of his mouth. So he feed lesser in the day. Still haven't really sleep thru the night, sleep from 9+pm to 2+am ~3am.

Morning ladies...
Thanks for your advice. I have more or less decided not to take up the job. It's a pity but I need a job with sustanability. The long travelling time will affect me sooner or later.
Jolene, our case really very similar leh....my MS for my 1st trimester was bad too.....and I also had low blood pressure! You know what, we share the same birthday...maybe that's why our "life" so similar! LOL!
My hubby did ask me to consider being a property agent cos the flexibility is very attarctive. But my preference is still to get a full time job with good childcare benefits.

Ashley,
just keep looking! good luck!
Sporty,
yah, agree with you. once i decide to quit shd juz bite the bullet and don't look back! haha..quite a no. of SAHM here..im joing you guys! But would be ideal if i can find something to work from home =)
Walking/Sitting:
mine show no signs of either. still like to lie down.
Thumbsucking/pacifier:
Mine doesnt have pacifier so started on thumb. but a few weeks back she prefer to suck her lower lip..very cute when you see the sucking momentum there. anyone bb also suck lips? think its a lazier options since you don't have to even hold your hands up! hahaha
Is there a gathering this sunday??
just keep looking! good luck!

Thumb/hand sucking: My gal has taken to "forcing" her whole hand into her mouth too!! i gave her pacifier at abt 2 mth coz really cant stand her wailing..nowadays only b4 sleep i give to her..den when she is in deep sleep i will pull it out..although somedays she die die wan her hand..but i die die refuse to let her suck..so we both juz fight hahaha
