Canopyhaze, I feel the same and this is already my no. 2 and I have a maid. Lol. 
hi all,my baby oso got like pimples/rashes....almost whole of his forehead part of face also. Some of them fade n new ones appear. So worried,but mil n mum say its common for babies, it will go away soon. Wonder is it cos of the weather n he likes to his hands to rub the face. Wonder issit cos his mittens dirty n he rub his face. N he like got blocked nose, he jus sneeze out a super big piece of greenish nose wax! very worried.....But old folks say its normal *sigh*
Canopyhaze n genesis, I'm feeling same way too.. Very tiring, physically n mentally.. It's so not easy being parents..
Had my bb's full mth buffet today. Meihao's service was gd, punctual n prompt.. I had made several amendments before today, n they are prompt to my requests n changes.. Food wise, portion quite alot.. My guests n ourselves quite like the food (pandan leaf chicken is yummy).. Dunno izzit I started eating too late (setup at 11.45am, start noon, I only eat at close to 2pm..), find the food abit cold already.. Dun expect much for the deco though..

I'm so tempted to give up breastfeeding.. But it's more for my own convenience n physically relief.. So far I only heard of pple giving up breastfeeding due to medical or ss reasons.. So I find myself very selfish if I give up now..
Mommies, do u finding bathing painful because of the sore nipples n breasts? Ur breasts kept leaking after a bath, so difficult to get changed? Uncomfortable when u lie sideways, cos gravity, and sometimes breasts will leak cos arm compress on the upper breast?
It's really a challenge to persevere... I'm such selfish n lousy mommy..

sandy, collection pt so far ...
cayenne, dun feel lousy, i also feel lousy all the time and forever want to give up bf. All my gfs give up BF becos they are too tired too, its so common.
Today i went vivo city and feed at nursing room 630pm, 830pm she cry already, but hubby put her in carrier, she dun cry anymore, 10pm then feed... so 3.5hrs, i feel so chek ark, cos make her wait for so long then eat, while i go around buying things.
Anyway cayenne, if u wanna stop, just stop and be happy. My gf who BF for 1 yr, hope i continue but she did say if it makes me happy and can give a happy mood to baby, then stop. SO im thinking when shld i stop.

Cayenne: don't give up, breast milk is the best gift from mummy to child, whether is it thru latching or pumping. Let's persevere together. Set yourself an aim of 6months. Believe me, time flies, it's just another 5 more months n bb will enjoy all the benefits of bm. I set myself a target of 6 months for no. 1, in the end I gave her total bm for 1 year. You can do it! The worst is over..it'll just get better n become 2nd nature.
Roxy: it's ok. U r still giving bm to bb
me too also exclusively pumping. Couldn't latch in the beginning due to painful wound for 3 weeks. Now I see bb growing healthily from consuming my bm, I feel so happy. He's 5kg today at 28 days.
Roxy: it's ok. U r still giving bm to bb

Roxy, cayenne,
calamari is rht. Bm is wat we can give best nw for our bb. Think of the weight gain n growing milestone ur bb is hving everyday becos of the milk we give to bb. I think tat would give us alot of encouragement.

Calamari, thks..
Cayenne, if bf is making u unhappy, then slowly give up.
But if u can endure, pls continue. Like what everyone says, it's the best gift for bb.
I gave up bf for my #1 after 1.5 mths due to my own selfish reason as well.
Initially, I felt guilty but when I see him still growing healthily with formula, I felt relieve.
In fact, after that I enjoyed motherhood much more!
So no worries whichever decision u make.
Most impt is enjoy motherhood n be happy!

Roxy, Can understand ur frustration.. Mayb u show him some websites ab bm so tat he can hv some knowledge abt this also. Dun think guys reali bother to research on all these bah.
I also feel like giving up too, esp this week when he has been really cranky at night. But am still perserving and hope I can make it another 5 months. Don't feel guilty if you give formula. Lots of us here in our mother's time grew up on formula too. Most important is to keep yourself happy so can take good care of baby..
Sorry for late response.. My son has been colicky this week.
I will attend the party with Samuel. Husband's attendance not sure yet. I can bring pizza..

me too! Feel its damn tired to bf. Be it direct latch or pump. Direct latch, no time for other things. Pumping is troublesome, gotta wash, pump, alot of money spent on milk bags. Bf mummies should watch wad we eat. Our intake directly affects our bb. Now i can only eat homecook food. Less oil and salt. More nutritious. Only eat out once a while. My gf share with me her SIL story. her sil during bf times keep eating kfc. Till her milk has gt a thick layer of oil. Even thicker then her milk, n her dd refuse to drink. Now, no more fried stuffs n heaty food till i stop bf. Me also selfish la..
Roxy, ur bb drinking slow? Try change teats?
Me make same mistake again! Last month my bb feeding can takes up one hr, using avent no 1 teats. Only realise weeks later that maybe is teats flow too slow cuz he nv finish his milk n always sleep halfway. So change to no 2. Well, it gets better but slowly back to long feeding time. Till ytd suddenly realise again, so i got pissed with avent teats and change to nuk. Now his feeding time is standard 10 to 15 mins to Finish all his milk. Because of my carelessness, his tummy is full of air. Cuz while sucking hard when the flow is slow, his actually sucking air too. For more then one month. I feel like a bad mum.
Today saw his cradle cap is quite bad. Then i carry him and cry.

Jeanie,
dun b discouraged n sad. Dun worry abt cradle cap, it's s passing phase my bb also has but I told myself he will outgrown it!
We all have each other support here n u r not alone! Whenever I think of all the goodness Bm for bb, no matter how tired I am, I will still wake up to pump or direct latch n also it's really cost efficient, juz imagine how much of money we saved by bf! =)

thanks genesis, bringing him for hair trimming later. Hope it'll clear soon. Its almost covering his whole head, eyebrows got thick lyer n side of his nose, and it gives off this yellow sticky smelly liquid on his head,makes his hair clamp togthr and dried up. See liao cannot tahan..
Pumpig time..
Pumpig time..
Roxy: u know sometimes men can be so insensitive but I think he is saying this cos he heartpain see u wake up n pump etc. Since u tbf no. 1, maybe can psych yourself to be fair to no. 2 to endure 5 more months? This is how I encourage myself hehe
hemmie: congrats that Samuel slept thru for 3 hours in the night. Mine slept at 1030pm, manage to sleep thru till 3am, but cried like mad cos too hungry!
Jeanie: u can apply olive oil or j&j baby oil to relieve the cradle cap. N regarding food intake during bf, yes, I'm actually even more careful about my diet when I'm bfreastfeeding than pregnant.
Today we r celebrating Baby Noah's full month. So exciting yet daunting when I think I have to entertain 150 guests!!!

have fun calamari entertaining.
jeanie u need to apply baby oil, leave it there for 5 - 10 min then use soft hair brush to brush it off. it wont all go off immediately. just repeat this procedure every day till all cradle cap is gone.
cayenne it may be inconvenient for now, it may be uncomfortable for now to bf. but this is the only gift that you can give ur child now and not in the future. nvm it is little. it is the best gift. don give up

Re: breastfeeding
mummies just do whatever you think u r comfortable! For myself, I started with tbf but am intro to FM when my girl had to stay further in the hospital after I discharge on the 2nd day of delivery due to jaundice. Feel so depress during that time cause milk supply not enough yet n have to give FM , also worried that might be my diet that cause her to suffer jaundice. Feel so lost n cried whenever I visit her n see her naked under the light, fortunately my PD is very encouraging, she advise me to supplement with FM n explained to me that milk is the only source for our baby so most impt is providing our baby with what they need. So now I giving "Rojak" to my girl, latch on n Ebm in the day, FM in the nite or when is out, personally feel that I'm happier n not so stress now! Bottom line I still believe that happy mummy will have a happy baby
Re: hubby
My hubby is not good at words so I'm alway the one to start the ball rolling, at times when both are boiling, I will choose to keep quiet then will request to have a talk outside the house, cafe maybe. Personally feel that cafe is a good place to relax hence both parties will feel more relaxed, open up n feel more comfortable after the talk. Next time u c me at Starbuck with hubby, looking stern u know what we're doing ya, haha... Anyway marriage is about communication, commitment n concern, so try to solve, talk about problem to make our marriage a blissful one too. Alway believe that sucess not only come from career but also from managing a family, and I 'm still learning too

Hi gals, can understand the frustration of only doing bb things day in day out. Dat's y must have own life still. Me and hubby make it a point to still go out shopping & movie...in law or mum will help take care so we can still go on a date. Else mummy gets pissed, and start pissing off everyone else too and everyone unhappy lor. Went vivo shopping yesterday, a lot of sale!!!
Canopy, my bb also lately tends to spit out milk when lay flat in cot after his feed. So now I use a pillow for a while after his feed so he is not laid 'flat' and he seems comfortable. Am using baby safe pillow with a hole in middle. Quite good. After about 10 mins then I lay him flat again

BF is really not easy, very tiring for the mummy. Need a lot of support from hubby and perseverance. For me, because I BF no. 1 for 1 year, I will try my best to give the same to no. 2. But then circumstances are different now cos I need to look after 2 kids so if I really cannot manage, I won't hold it to myself also.
Cayenne
Don't say that!! If u say that then I think I'm the worst mummy here. Since he's 1 week old I gave up TBF and give him express milk supplement wif FM at nights. Now, he's mostly on FM though sometimes I still give him expressed milk once or twice a day, sometimes is total FM only.
At times I feel so bad & sad that I' so lousy. But when I see he's growing well I feel relieve.
But then again, if u can, try to persevere BF or slowly stop. That is wat I'm doing, slowly stop.

hi gals, i think i'm the worst le. I have no more supply at all le. No engorgement nor let down. It simply dwindled. Trouble after another..... it never seem to end.... Finally, no more pus at my csect wound... But now no more milk supply....
Btw mummies, i just wanna share that my GP recommended 5-in-1 vaccination instead of 6-in-1...He mentioned it maybe too strong for babies.
GG Lee, i remembered Dr Ong mentioned do not let babies use donut shaped pillows. He said baby's skull too soft now, thus if use donut pillow not gd for the skull development.
Jeanie, my bb developed dry yellowish cradle cap on both his eyebrows. I left Johnson oil on the affected areas for 10 mins before using cotton gauze to gently rub it. Then use warm water to clean it. By 3rd day, it was cleared.
Hi roxy, u received my email?
