Re - auto sarong rocker
mummies, can i check something with you? once your baby falls asleep, do you stop rocking the sarong, or leave the auto sarong on? normally i will manually rock baby until she sleeps, then turn the auto rocker on.. but my mother was nagging me yesterday, she said once baby sleeps, nobody keep rocking one lah..she told me to rock until baby sleep then stop rocking altogether..but my girl will wake up leh.. also, i read in some magazine that rocking in a sarong is actually rocking baby in 'unconsciousness' cause we are rocking the baby's brain? its in the October issue of Young Parents Baby edition...advice from a nurse..

Applejuz: your boy has very thick hair!!! i heard from the older folks saying that it's better to shave their hair so that they will have thicker and nicer hair... but don't know how true....
i also can't bear to shave my son's hair... he got quite a thick hair also....
anyway, i was told that only can shave hair after 4 months later...

Hi temple,
I think she was referring to the spine is it? no lah, i only put my baby in sarong when she is fussy. If not, most of the time she is in her cot, the bassinet or bouncer
)
I also didn't shave my girl's hair...girl girl must cut hair or not? dunno leh..she already don't have much hair, can't bear to shave her hair away..i tot they cut hair at full month?

I think Mrs Wong was saying that it might be a bad habit for the baby cos she will want to be constant rocked all the time and cannot sleep on his/her own easily
Just to share my baby Anton's blog, it will be updated with the latest pics from time to time.

hi temple,
oh ur hubby will be overseas too?
Mine already gone for 1 week & will be back next Sunday, so I get to drive his car..Luckily got sms & yahoo msgr, else I'll miss him.. *blush* *blush*
Drive out alone with baby, here's the things I'll do.
1) Ensure no hungry tummy. Make sure he's well fed.
2) Prepare pacifier beside him.
3) A blanket / rem to reduce car aircon
(I forgot abt that... end up bb shivering when I reach destination
bad mummy..
also bcoz I put in front passenger seat lor.
4) The sun shade / Carseat cover (useful to prevent the sunglares)
As for night, I'm not sure how to prevent the fast moving streetlights?)
re:shaving hair in 4th month
I also heard of this tradition. But i think i won't follow, unless his hair drops until very ugly.. hee hee...luckily, my mum also din shave when me & my siblings were young. (I used to have lots of hair too when I'm a baby..
And my MIL won't insist on that too. Glad no pressure from elders.

thanks applejuz... streetlights for the night still not so bad... but it's the morning and evening sunlights that i'm worried about... how to block it when i'm driving!!!!... any good sunshade to recommend?
i'm a mummy! not sure leh.... because i totally forget what did mrs. wong say about the sarong thingy.... anyway... i don't like to put my son in the sarong because i don't want it to be a bad habit...

Mummies w bb sleeping thru the night
How many hours your baby nap in the day? My boy will wake up at 8am, nap from 11am till 5pm (in between wake up for milk). He will want to sleep again at 8pm. After that, all the way till morning except wake up every 3 hrs for milk. Wondering if he not sleeping thru the night is due to too much sleep in the day?? I tried feeding him more at the 11pm but he either refused to drink or still wake up at the 3rd hour....

hi ixwong... my son has about the same pattern as your baby... i also tried to give him more for the last feed but still he will wake up at least for once for milk... think they are still trying to get use to the sleep through the night pattern... perhaps have to give them more time...
like last night, his last feed was 10.45pm and he woke up at 4.45pm... that's 6 hours straight!!!

Re: Driving with baby:-
3) If you put baby in back passenger seat, (if car is hot) ensure that the aircon reaches to the back. Don't turn down aircon when we feel cool in front as the back may not be cool yet.
temple, applejuz is rite, make sure baby is well-fed before embarking on trip. As for sun, think you can go to any auto shop to get sunshades, normally comes in a pair, to place on the windows. But since the car will be moving mostly, don't think baby will get much sun unless we are caught in a traffic jam.

thanks snoopy.... the thing is... TPE always jam from the exit from punggol to pasir ris... so car will be slow moving... and the sun will actually shine on the person siting at the front seat. wondering after putting the car seat, will the sun still shine at the eye or the body of the baby (car seat is higher mah).

My gal is going to be 7 weeks old and still not sleeping through the night, waking up every 2/3 hourly for milk. Also, once after her milk time, she won't fall back into sleep immediately and will fuss for about half an hour or so..
In the day, she doesn't sleep much too!! Once she didn't sleep for 12 hours in the day and still wake up for 2/3 hourly feed..
I paid to make a frame for Megan when she's 2 days old and until now I cannot find a satisfactory picture for the frame.. any mommies sign up for this too? www.bestimprezzione.com

Temple,
What i did was install solar film, VKool in my car..it covers all glass panels, helps block out UV rays, keeps the car cool under the sun and blocks out glare (day n night) too. A bit pricey but i find it very very helpful. It actually works.
But there are a lot of copycats in the market so make sure u go to an authorised dealer. There are a lot of advertisements for VKool in those autocar mags oso. Hope it helps!

Hi temple,
I just get the normal foldable sunshade that snoopy mentioned.
My carseat got a cover (can see fr my above pix), think that's good enough for me.
And I think snoopy recommends to put the carseat at the back passenger's seat which is much safer & less distraction while driving.
re:sarong
I also din use sarong, main reason is dun wan bb to get use to it, & if go other pple's house without sarong, he could still sleep on bed/sofa. Currently, Keyon could sleep anywhere now..
Hi angel,
Megan is cute & have chubby cheeks! I love to see babies putting their legs up.. hee hee... I DIY for the impression footprint... my hubby & I spent great effort pressing babies feet onto the clay, in the end, the print very shallow & not very clear... sigh.. but better than nothing..

hi all mummies
Anton is 5 weeks old and he wakes up once a night and sometimes fusses for a while before he sleeps...I wonder too when he will sleep without interference during the night but he is on breastmilk so I think he will get hungry easily compared to FM...
he is 5.03kg and 57.5cm long at 5 weeks...!!PD says I might be overfeeding him...and I thought I was underfeeding him cos sometimes he made grunting noises at the end of the feed.
Hi temple
Are you a Christian too? I have not been going to cell or church eversince Anton is born and I kinda missed it.
Thanks skippy....yeah he is very cute...!!I love him to bits!But all mothers love their children no matter what...that is the greatest love on Earth!

Hi triniti,
I got this formula calculation from LC at GEH some time ago. I use this to check roughly how much my baby should drink (at least). Hope it helps:
Amt of EBM to store for each feed (oz) = (Baby's weight in pounds) multiply 2.5, then divide no.feed per day.
Note:
pounds = kg x 2.2
1 oz = 30ml

Hi Skippy10,
life with baby not easy. Find it hard to pacify baby, that's why end up using sarong/pacifer etc which i originally dun intend to. Use already then worried abt bb cannot live w/o them...*sign* but the worst part is the loneliness at home, everday count down to my hubby's return from work. Really hard to tahan.
Today quite sad cos heard from my hubby that his boss is forcing him to take up an overseas assignment (4 months) and he may need to go end Oct. If he had to leave, I will move back to my mum's place w bb cos dun think can survive on my own
