Mine 7 weeks Liao, I still swaddle him under the armpits, don't swaddle hands now... Cuz he will protest, swaddle body and leg he still okay.

I don't give yaolan too, cuz scared of shaken baby syndrome... And the repeated rocking will make him reliant to it. In future can only sleep in yaolan...

MY in laws also ask me to get, but I insist no... They will say things like but I also use it for your son, he okay wat... =.= I'll juz reply, last time no research and anyway it's my son so I should make the decision...

mine lo, when i feed her, she fall asleep, den later i change her diapers, she woke up with big big eyes staring at me..

I usually change diapers halfway through his feed, so that he remains awake after changing and will continue to latch for his feed until he sleep...
Gwen Lin said:
Same here.. have to carry bb walk arnd, rock him and sing song.. after he fall into deep sleep then can put in crib. Sometimes like that he also dont sleep... just open his eyes big big.

Chest i tried today.. not bad, he fell asleep while i burp him and he slept until his next feed.

I do the same but mine don't like my chest leh... Always wiggle wiggle to look for boob only. He only likes his daddy's chest....

Jaudice still drink gao gao soup, how to flush? I forced myself to eat more fatty food, even my soup is oily. But I see no different loh. My milk still watery. I think is depend on body one ba.. maybe my body digest/burn the fats i eat faster? Idk.
But is it really true that fattier bm more filling??
Click to expand...
Fattier bm is more hind milk so more nutrients/fat and technically more filling cuz foremilk is mostly water.... You can consider taking Virgin coconut oil? It's a milk booster and supposedly make the milk more nutritious...

I use yaolan but nvr shake, just put her inside, like swaddle like tt she sleep better.

I use pacifier also Cox she really can cry and I am afraid she take in too much air by crying. I offer her when she gets cranky, and hold her Close to my chest and pat her to calm or make her sleep..

I felt like I doing all the things that modern parents don't feel like introducing.. but these works best for me and my bb.. if not she go crying her head off and I will cry with her.

Anybody baby cry when bathing? Mine cry everytime I bath her.. damn demoralizing..

My bb doesn't want the pacifier. I was desperate n decided to give it to her but she spat it out many times and gagged.. when showering she seems quite scared still. Think cos my bath tub quite big. She will grab onto my tshirt tightly..lately she doesn't cry as much when I bathe her. Starting she did cry.. always make me panic..

As long as it works for you, who cares what others say? Ultimately we need to be there for our babies and if the practices help us maintain our sanity and achieve that, then go for it! :)

I also use pacifier for when he is super cranky and refuse to sleep...

Mine used to cry a lot but now much better le... Is it temp of water? Mine like very warm water, he doesn't cry as much after I used warmer water, and I wrap him in 2 towels while undressing him so that he doesn't catch a chill....

It's ok, don't get demoralized, we just need to get used to our new role and the new little one in our lives.

I think babies cry when they bath cos either 1) they r cold 2) they r scared. My CL initially left one mitten on when we are bathing the bb, they feel more secure that way. It also has to do with the way we hold them I think. When my CL bath my bb, he is usually ok nowadays, i observed a few times n thought no problem, looks easy enough, i can do it, but yesterday when I tried to do it myself for the first time, think i was holding him abit awkwardly, man, he screamed the house down n promptly peed (a lot) on me to show his displeasure. Alamak! Temp should be around 37 degrees, and ideally the bum n feet be should in the water, or at least scoop warm water over their body, its like when we go swimming, when we r in water, we don't feel cold, but when we leave the water, its freezing. Keep the bb wrapped as u clean the face n hair, only expose him at the end when u have to wash his body.

Motherhood is all about the experience and experimenting what works best for mummy and our LO. If ure giving ur best for LO thats more than enough..dont worry about social norms or what others say.

The first few times, when I bath my boy, he cried until like I am torturing him. Then next pattern is shit n pee on the towel b4 I even start bathing. Need to use at least 2 towels every time. Hopefully will get better as we get more stable hands. Our bb are trying to get use to us oso.
I find that they are less scare if they face downwards towards the water than facing upwards towards to ceiling when bathing. So I will bath him a longer time facing him downwards. But of cos hand must be steady, else they will drink water liao.

My bb is esp cranky at nite ard 9 plus. I tried giving him the pacifier. 1st time succeed to calm him down. But subsequently, he dun wan liao. I find him like rejecting my nipple after that oso. So I stopped giving him pacifier. My mil still say bcos the pacifier head too small so he dun like. I can't imagine if give him the big old style of pacifier, I dun need to latch him anymore liao.

Beside having to face the bb alone wif all the chores. I have to face my pil oso. Sometime they will come in the evening and say wan to "take care" and "bond" wif my bb. But I dun noe is my hormones or is the ways they do things. I just find them irritating and putting more stress on me. And in the end, I am still left to pacified and take care of the bb alone.
Forgiving mi for ranting...just feeling v frustrated.

Did you let her wear mutton when bathing and only remove it when you apply bath foam and did you pat some water on her chest before applying bath foam ?

When my cl bath her she will cry like mad but for me hehehe ok cos I apply the above technique

Understand how u feel..hugs! Glad to have this place to rant..guess we're all in it tgtr. Our babies are also as helpless as us..can only cry to tell us sth..up to us to decipher why they cry..guess it's when we can't tell why then we feel frustrated and panicky. Jiayou all..

hmmm.. does it last throughout from the start of feeding to end? i always feel abit pain when baby start latching but after a few mins the pain is ok..
Click to expand...
No lah that sounds normal. The pain is during latching when bb sucking. Also the aerola will hv a glazy appearance . At first I thought is sore or cracked nipple so I just applied breast milk,din work then progress to nipple cream then lanolin cream. Then got so much worse that I cun bear to suckle bb on that breast, literally wanna scream in pain. Then I realise something not right and went to research a bit.

I read that if they don't nap enough in the day, they can also be over stimulated n not be able to sleep at night..think that's the prob for my bb cos she has trouble napping in the day. Just wanna be carried n keep crying when I put her down. Can't do much all day..

My baby jaundice level was around 80+ and was allowed to check out. Her level was about the same when she went back for checkup a week later. Not required to stay in the hospital just advise from PD to suntan her.

Me too. When my mum can come over n help me I will nap for a short while. Was so exhausted last night I knocked out immediately n didn't even know bb cried. Felt so terrible. Thank goodness hubs managed to pacify her.
 
haiz, i'm officially in round 2 of depression - my CL is leaving in 30 mins... i sure am going to miss her. think my bb will go into depression too, once he realise she's gone - she has a way of soothing him when he's cranky... she will hold him n talk/sing to him n 90% of the time he will actually stop n just stare at her. i tried the same, n he will just scream louder. jia lat. i have a colleague due in May who tried to book her for 4 months, n when i first found out i lol... now i totally understand why!
