The reason why you are getting a maid sounds very much like my situation...I do not mind doing housework but need help in taking care of baby...Hope you get a good maid...have you started your maid hunt....

i dun have a maid... still thinking whether to have one a not. the expenses incurred of having one is about $700-800 incl her groceries and makan... dun want to increase my overhead cost in case i want to be a SAHM
BB signing times
dun think will affect speech dev... thinks the ang mohs say will enhance speech dev... BB also less cranky when they turn toddlers as they are more understood- the child phychiatrist suspect tat terrible 2's bad behavior is resulted frm us parents not understanding BB and they are fustrated... so better if we can understand wat they want from signing
NIGHTMARE
think that i quite stressed out at work... i had a bad nightmare..
i was doing KL turn and i worked at JCL (i noe KL no JCL but jus happened so in my dream)... there was an Indian family and their extended family occupying 1/3 of the cabin (no offends to any race)... thinks u girls get headache jus by hearing this...
they made a mess in the cabin and were very loud.. disturb other pax and their kids ran around.
a toddle was using the toilet unsupervised and was peeing at the corner instead of into the toilet bowl... i saw and told the father....
the father said,: when a/c land, the cleaners will clean it up.. no big deal... i was so angry at his nonchalant attitude and KL sector no CLEANERS.. so we have to clean up.... even if there's cleaners, it is bad also to dirty the place.
funny hor, i was stressed at my present workplace but have nightmare of my last job

SHA chances of selling JIN high!!!
u planning to get a maid arh, wat kind of things u wanna noe? my maid came to help me when my ger was 2 mos old lor.. at first when she came, i told her not to take care of my ger first.. get used to the surroundings first and get her hands on the housework first.. when she is more or less settled and can handle the housework den i started to let her handle my ger with me around at all times.. i make sure she can pacify her, feed her well and bathe her n etc.. i tel her from day one wat are my preferences n etc and told her direct in the face politely tat we are going to be learning from each other coz she was experienced with kids as she has 2 kids of her own. I told her tat in Phil the things n the way they bring up their kids mite differ from Sin so mus ask if she is not sure of anything, asking is not wrong and if never ask is wrong and if she does things wrongly, I will speak up immediately and tel her tat its wrong. I told her im very straight forward so not to take it personal and so this way we can learn more things and in return, she oso taught me a lot of things and im quite open to her teachings like how she handle bb oso coz like burping bb, diff ppl have diff styles as long as bb burps in the end.. im perfectly fine! LOL
rem dun jus ask her to handle both bb and housework at the beginning coz she wil definitely be very lost as she will be very confused in the beginning of how to adapt to the new environment
we must always put ourselves in each other position!
But i always emphasise one thing... the main reason i want to hire u is to take care of my bb so if bb cries or needs attn.. no matter wat else u are doing.. u mus go to the bb first! priority is on bb BUT tat does not give u the excuse of not finishing ur housework n etc.. u need to learn to adapt to the bb timing and work out a suitable schedule for urself
p/s: sorry a bit long winded and its my personal view *heh*

That is quite expensive huh?I think its good if we really need someone for help in the emergency case.
I remember there was once I got my aunty just to sit around with me from 10am to 5pm....just sit and I pay her few hundred dollars for three days.

Oh..i make mistake again. think itz morraine with the maid, not WOOF.
Morraine,
thks for all the tips..
i read the maid thread like cannot make it leh..all the problems with maids. Then it all depends on luck, like tikum like tat.
So while i blur with the bb, the maid oso blur with me lah? Then my bb will suffer rite? Then i will stress over hw the maid handling the bb so 24hrs cant zz?
I am REALLY a CANNOT MAKE IT mummy. cant wake up for feeds in morning, cant bath bb, cant feed bb. really failure. smtimes i look at my boy and will pity him for havg such a useless mother. Im very blessed 2 hv this nanny with me. evnite i pray and thank God for his Grace.
Many frendz told me i muz learn and take care of bb cos nanny wun be here 4ever. Itz not tat i dun wan. I spend every waking moment with him, try to bond with him. But he got feeding problem, cos he used to suffer frm reflux. Now i got phobia to feed him and i think he can sense it,cos wenever i carry him to feed he will fuss and cry. then nanny take over, he ok and drink his milk.
i was so upset last nite cos it happened again and i ask nanny y bb dun like me?Im his mother and yet i cant even feed him? im not capable of even feeding my own bb?!? I was so frustrated i scolded my boy in a fierce tone and he sense it and he cry even worse. Then i cry, then my nanny cry. so drama..
Sorry if im grumbling. really need to vent out. so get maid will be big big problem for me,cos then i hav 2 take care of 2 person. 1 bb is headache enuf, dun nit another headache.my gf told me her sis's maid ran off with blagdadesh worker and brought the man back to their flat overnite.I hear alrdy very scared.
Past 3 days, my bb drink milk got problem again. He juz got over this reflux thg. now dun noe wat HAPPENING AGAIN..I dun seem to get a break and enjoy being a mummy. always got some problem gg on. after 1 problem solve another 1 will appear. itz never ending!!
frm 7am til 10.30pm 2day, he drink only 16oz.
Hw can he not be hungry 6hrs between feeds? but still he SIMPLY refuse to drink. i hav done evthg a human cld possibly do..i keep fearing tat his reflux is back.i very stress.cannt zz.
y cant i juz get a break for once??
y cant my bb b normal and drink watever he needs to drink wenever itz time to drink?
all these bb books talk abt routine routine. but has it ever occur to them tat not every bb is the same? not every bb zz at 10pm wake up at 7am,drink 8oz of milk every 5hrs and eat watever we mix in their cereal. They not like hp can off/on/silent mode.
ARRGHHHHHHHH!!!

aiyo Sungrapes,
bb must be patient one... u stress they can tell lor then they get distress one. U must learn to relax. My ger now having problems eating her porridge, so i take one step at a time lor. If one day she eat one more spoon full its an accomplishment for me. No use getting frustrated over it.
As for bathing bb, u have to be hands on lor. I watch the nanny bathe my ger many many times then i visually learn lor... oh... i took pics of every step too then after she left, i managed by myself pretty well... now getting better n better except her food intake. But now at least she is eating one mouthful more everyday so its a big accomplishment for me.
SQ bonus:
6.07mths!!! gd hor.. but too bad i left liao... aiyo... wasted!!! hehe
Maid:
Whether u get gd maids or terrible ones, its all depends on ur luck lor... no pt worrying over it. Sometimes can't help it one lor... if no gd then change maid lor unless u train her until superb lor. My mum's maid also like that... at first come to SG, dunno how to cook then blur blur one but now, her cooking is fantastic! and getting smarter lor.

Do you want to try sending your baby for tuina?I heard it will help in the reflux problem.
I can sense how stress you are...Going through caring for a baby is a process and part and parcel of parenting, it will pass...Me not a patient mum too....Having a second kid is due to hubby loves kid, not so much on me must have...But, baby proves to be a joy to us...
Is your nanny a full time one with you?Baby can sense the temperment of a person...So, you have to relax...I guess as your baby grow older, your baby will be easier to manage...hang in there...
Smile cos today its weekend....Happy mother's day all...

<font color="0000ff">Sungrapes</font>, Don't say like this. BB is yrs. he nods that you are his mum. It just that when you feel stress, and not in a gd mood. he nods and he prefer some1 else to carry or feed him.
As for the reflux, Did you see a doc abt it? Does it happen all the time or once in a blus moon but for a copule of days?
My son use also hv slight reflux when I start to increase his milk intake. Or when he is not feeling well, or the day the day before he did not sleep well.
As for the milk intake, Could it be he is not feeling well? Stomach upset?? Btw how old is yr boy now? Sorry I forgot/
Books is only a giudelines for you to follow. Of course all bb are different. So you hv to find a way to tune to his habits or routine, VV.
Anything, You can call me k if you need a listening ear.

WOW! thats alot $$$. Can buy lots of diapers & Milk powders. Sigh! leave at the wrong time. But those whom left last yr, You still get pro rated bouns hor!

Can sense that you are quite stress...just like me when I had my second baby.I believe from 6mths onwards, your baby will be easier...
Baby can go for tuina as young as one month old. I bring my boy for it since two mths old till now, who is twenty one months now.
Your CL is so nice to stay on...is it expensive to hire her?I wanted to do the same but my CL cannot stay , so no choice, I have to get a maid instead...but really different set of problems....
Don't scold yourself stupid...Hey, I guess you have to relax....No body is born how to take care of a young baby...everyone learn...for me trial and error for my older gal...still survive...so do have some confident in yourself....cheers.

1st of all we are all not train as being a mother.
2nd, we get on job training and we do make mistake.
3rd, we are trained to handle stress and be tough by our airline.
So I believe you can pull thru it.
I was like you when bb was much younger. Did not really enjoy motherhood. Sleep more cannot, eat also cannot, most of the time I hv to rush to do my things. I do not hv anybody to help me except my HB. So I got to live with it.
When bb turns 6mths onwards, you better watch out when he turns, eitherwise will fall out of bed, etc... Monitor him lke a hawk, can't even close my eyes when he crawls on my bed.
When bb turns 1, can consider is easlier to take care. But is another different ball game. He runs, crawl, you hv to follow.
CC
Maybe we should plan to get together to relieve some stress?
Wat abt:
Date: 21May 07 (MON)
Time: 1400hrs
Venue: Vivocity or A/P?

I was like you when bb was much younger. Did not really enjoy motherhood. Sleep more cannot, eat also cannot, most of the time I hv to rush to do my things. I do not hv anybody to help me except my HB. So I got to live with it.
When bb turns 6mths onwards, you better watch out when he turns, eitherwise will fall out of bed, etc... Monitor him lke a hawk, can't even close my eyes when he crawls on my bed.
When bb turns 1, can consider is easlier to take care. But is another different ball game. He runs, crawl, you hv to follow.

Maybe we should plan to get together to relieve some stress?

Sungrapes,
Enjoy ur Mother's Day! Dun be too stress k!!!
I also handled my ger all by myself without anybody's help. I didnt know a single thing abt motherhood until my ger comes along. I had a CL but then she drove me crazy most of the time. She hardly handles my ger cus i do it myself except for bathing part.
anyway it takes time to really get used to it. I hardly sleep, hardly have time to eat. Do things must be quick cus always have to look out for my ger. She is learning to stand so gotta watch out for her in case she bumps into things or fall down. I cook for my ger everyday but my meals are all messed up. Sometimes i even miss my meals!
We all do make mistakes. Due to my carelessness, my ger already fell down the bed 2x. I felt bad abt it but then had to console myself saying that at least now, when she wants to get down the bed or sofa, she goes backside down lor.

Tuina is on the baby's hand, not leg. Its like 16 dollar for around half an hour.
You are so lucky to have such a nice CL to help you...

dun worry on the qns la.. jus throw them to me den i help to ans u when i can
my ger sleeps with me and hubby since day one
unless either one of us is sick den we will ask her to slp with the maid to avoid her catching the germs from us coz for me and hubby, since both of us are working every day so once we get bac to home, we will take over the bb from the maid already as (1) to let the maid relax for a while and (2) to create bonding time with our ger and us
this is to avoid her being too close to the maid oso lor, coz i noe some parents back from work den very tired n etc hence they dun play or mingle with their child tat much hence the child sticks the caregiver like leece lor which i dun want it to happen to me.. call me selfish la.. hee.. i dun care lor coz its my daughter and i wil get jealous lor!! LOL
im quite lucky to be blessed with this little gem of mine who does not wake up for nite feeds at all after her full month.. even when after we are back at home from hospital, she wil drink her last milk at 11+pm den the next feed is 4+ already den i slowly stretch further den by full month, no more nite feed
bb is as lazy as the daddy lor.. always SLP SLP & SLP!!
i think for u sungrapes, i advise u to state to the maid agency tat u need an experienced maid and its very impt especially one which can handle infant well so tat she can guide u along instead of wat u said as in the blind leading the blind at the end of the day.. u shld learn to relax oso my dear.. we all oso learn as we go along so dun be frustrated nor stress now at bb handling issues
u are doing great now!! when u are free, as in bb slping n etc.. jus read some books like What u are expecting when u expect n etc.. where u can learn more things on bb handling n etc or surf the net for info
back to maid issue, coz i did a call interview with my maid before i hired her and i did made it clear to her tat she has to learn to handle a 2 months old bb at tat point of them so i asked her to think carefully if she can handle or not? so as to avoid wasting each other time.. den when i went to 'collect' her from the agent when she arrived from Phil, the moment she saw my ger.. she requested to carry and i can see from the way she carry the infant, she knows how to carry and etc so i was pretty relieved liaoz.. when ur maid comes along, u need to observe every single thing abt her.. hygiene, way of handling bb, behaviour and attitude lor and anything u dun feel good, mus voice out to her already and give her some time to adapt.. at least half a yr to be truthful coz they come from a not so advanced country as in they come from mainly those small little province not Manila most of the time so they mite not be so fast in their work pace coz in Sin is real fast for them to catch up lor..
den as for my ger coz she dun wake up for nite feeds but i told her if she ever hears bb wake up in the middle of nite, she must wake up to find out wat happened oso even if we are all around and it oso applys to every single day.. dun ASSUME tat someone is attending den jus ignore coz we mite need help oso.. attention mus be given to the child at all times lor
this mus state clearly if not some maid mite think.. orh.. my employer is there in the room so i can dun go la.. ignore lor.. *faint*
abt ur boy's relux issue, maybe u shld not feed him so much at a time as in maybe jus let him drink 20ml den burp him first den continue den burp n etc.. try this first.. slowly.. and pls dun feel tat u are useless leh.. u are not lor!! ur boy needs u more den anyone else so u mus stay strong~

Sungrapes,
my life all devoted to my ger lor! But once in a while, i will leave her at my mum's or il's place then i can go out n have some time alone shopping or get things done lor.
my day is like, wake up, bathe my ger, cook food for my ger, feed her, play with her, flash cards for her/watch her vcds, nap, feed dinner, let her play for awhile then feed n sleep lor. then after she sleeps will be my time to clean up the hse, cook stock for next day n surf a bit of net lor. Gotta attend to her everytime she wakes up for her feeds or comfort sucking.
yeah in a way no life but recently i joined the mummies for the outings n let our bbs interact so now my bb a bit more sociable. which is pretty gd for her! some days just bring her for trials to attend lor. Everyday just devote all my time to her. If i wanna bathe or go toilet, must be really quick lor, then leave her outside the toilet with the door open so i can see her while i bathe n she can see me while i bathe so its more comforting for her. At least she guai guai sit there n play with her toys lor!

Wah ylc, once upon a time i envisioned myself doing wat u do wen i become a mother. but i dun understand y i cant do it..tried once to take care of bb alone and whole day very dizzy cos not enuf zzz.
so this proves hw usless i really am, despite all of the encouragement u mummies r gvg me.
perhaps i juz hav to accept tis fact and carry on as best as i cld.

Sungrapes, Don't put so much pressure on yrself. If you can't finish the housework, don't do. Take care of bb is more important.
I do understand how we crew are. Can sleepp the whole day without meals. That's becos you can't get over this routine which has aridi stuck in you. It takes time. Don'y worry.
Looks like nobody want to join the outing. All working. If chg to Sat, can make it??

I am using the Lucky baby sling as well as the MIM Sarong sling.
The diff are:
Licky baby sling is like pulling my shoulders forward. Can be very tired to carry bb in this way for a long time. Back aching. Very hot for bb and restrict his movement too. But the pro is bb won't fall off
As for the MIM sling, is much cooler. He still can turn and his hands can move up and dw. But scare if I did not tied properly, he might fall
