he can be suckling well, then sudddenly start crying n pull away, then tries to suck again... i sort of narrowed it to uncomfortable positioning (thou i've tried various positions w him already).. my fren also said could be that he's tired n hungry, so being fustrated.. but dunno what's the real reason...
i need milk, thanks! how did u find her? is she expensive?

Wow, it's has been such a long time since I last chat with u ladies. Hv been very busy looking after my boy cos he demands milk on a 2 hrly basis...
Hi Pochacco,
I used Petpet when my baby is a newborn & I find the size ok for him.. it's abt the same size as pampers newborn.
This morning just brought my boy to take 6 in 1 jab at Fernvale GP(Sengkang) & they charge $98 per jab.
I also hv a maltese at home & he has been sleeping with us in the room all the time & i do not bear to chase him out now...but i worry it will cause my boy to develop allergies...

hi cmy,
Thanks for the PD info. It's really useful to know one that's nearby.
Have called up the PD abt the jab package. But finally decide to jab at my downstair GP as the cost difference is quite significant. The Hep B jap at 1st mth cost me $20 and consultation is free. The sub 5-in-1 jab will be $75/jab.

Doris charged us $60 for the LC session. Think we took abt 1.5 hours. I felt very comfortable with her especially since she also had a premature bb before.. so she can understand how i feel. My hb colleague also went to Doris and she claims that Doris is the best LC in Singapore.
cookies/tingting:
By the way, i also have the fussing problem where bb suck for a few mins, screams, pulls herself off my breast and cries. Doris told me that when that happens, to switch breast. Apparently, bb pulls off the breast cos letdown not fast enuf. So switch sides and wait for the other breast to 'refill'.

everafter_03: Where's Fernvale GP? The one at blk 405?
cmy,
So coincidence! My son's PD is also Dr Ooi. Are you staying nearby? cos I am and distance was the main reason for choosing Dr Ooi.
Cakey,
you not opting for 6-in-1 jab for your bb? Can help find out how much your GP charge for 6-in-1?
My PD 6-in-1 jab is $110 per jab and that exclude $30 consultation. A bit ex and I'm checking out the prices of other clinic.

I also gave in to sarong for my boy. Must say life is much easier after we bought the sarong cos my boy want to be carried all the time and now we can swing him to sleep. i also worried abt him not able to sleep on his own but read that we shd only sleep train bb after 6 mths.
any mummies sleep training their bb already?

Hi Ixwong,
What kind of sarong did you buy? My baby girl is ok half the time, but the other half, she fusses and wants to be carried. I try not to carry her often, partially because of my bad back, and also because i don't want her to become like my niece, who has to be carried all the time or she will scream her head off. When she fusses, i try to get her to sleep herself or put her in the bouncer. but if really no choice, then carry her for a while. But sometimes she just doesn't want to sleep..contemplating getting a sarong, but scared baby too reliant on it.My nephew has been sleeping on a sarong since birth.Now at 2 years old, still want to sleep sarong. No sarong cannot sleep properly.sigh...
Re:- firming cream
any mummies here using firming/slimming cream? everytime i look in the mirror, i grimace. all that untoned skin sigh..any good creams to recommend? i foresee no time to go to the gym for the time being liao

cookies, mine started around week 5.
i need milk: letdown is not a problem for me cos my flow is pretty fast. and being too fast doesn't bother my boy cos he'll just let the excess milk flow out of his mouth. spoke to the LC from MAH, and she said another reason cld be due to wind in stomach, so will try putting oil on his tummy n see whether it works.

Hi I'm a mummy
I bought my sarong from kiddy palace. Normal one that can be pushed around the house. I let my boi nap in sarong during the day. When he's deep asleep, I will carry him out of sarong and let him sleep in his cot. At night, he will sleep in his cot.
mummies,
how do we know if our milk ss is established? I can now pump about 120-150ml of BM per 4-hr. If I skip a session (e.g. at night), I can pump up to 240ml the next round. Does this mean my milk ss had established? can we still increase the qty? I'm now supplementing 2-3 feeds w FM cos my boy drinks a lot.

Hi ixwong, distance also is the main reason for us to choose Dr Oii.
re:sarong
yup. We used sarong as well. Found that sarong really make our life easier. I let him sleep in the sarong even night time. Previously, he was ok but now he refused. But i will let him sleep on the bed after midnight feed. Nowaday, my bb can strenched to longer hour at night time. He only woke up once. He can sleep from 10/11pm till 4am/5am. But he will wake up around 7/8am for the next feed. Maybe he felt more comfortable and secure in sarong? Hoping that he can maintain like that.

Hi ixwong/ I'm a mummy,
I have not bought any sarong for my bb yet. Very tempted to buy sarong for a few times, but whenever i see her sleeping soundly at night without rocking, i changed my mind again. I am also very scared that she will be too reliant on the sarong.
Since I am on partial BF, I just let her have her full feed of FM in the morning and at night when i want her to sleep longer. In between these feeds, I just BF. I am still trying out to see if this routine works without compromising her health cos' my milk is pretty low.
Anyway, I am thinking of finding this book called 'Healthy Sleep, Happy Baby' by Dr Weissbluth to see how to sleep train my bb. Another book recomended by other mommies in another link is called "The Happiest Baby in the block' by Harvey Karp.

Hi Worshippertemple,
Yes, it is the one at blk 405C. They charge $98 for the 6 in 1 jab & $2 for the medicine in case baby gets fever.
R u staying at Fernvale too? If yes, u can consider gg there cos it is far more convenient than gg to SK polyclinic & the waiting time is also shorter!

Hi Angel,

Re:- Burping/Merlion effect
Mummies does your baby still 'regurgitate' out milk even after you burp your baby? We burp our girl and she gives out real loud burps, almost like her daddy's belch haha but even though we burp her, when we put her down in her cot maybe like 30-45mins later after burping, she still regurgitates out some milk. Usually when she stretches or 'geks' her hands and legs. any advice? i've resorted to putting a face towel on each side of her cheek to catch the milk when she lies down, so it doesn't stain her clothes. If not, i've to change her top everytime after a feed..sigh..

Hi I'm a mummy,
My gal also face the problem of regurgitate milk... now her cot, clothes, my bed, got lotsa milk stain cos not in time to clean them and also some time miss it. I think it's becos she sucks too fast... Cos it's so even if we give her small amt of milk or a few mint of BF. At first I thot she's too full. My hubby is thinking of finding a slower flow teat but not sure which one to get. The one we're using is already for newborn from pigeon.

re: burping effect
yeah, my girl also regurgitate her milk even after i have burped her. so now i let her sit up for 5-10 mins before i put her down to sleep.. can't bear to see my milk go to waste..
cakey:
the peristalic teat from pigeon is slower than the newborn S size teat from pigeon. U can try that.. but must use avent bottle for that teat cos it's wide necked. Don't use NUK teat cos the flow very very fast even tho they say its small hole.

Hi ClarisseMummy,
I really can't decide whether he is a brat or an angel. *LOL* When he is away, I actually miss him but the moment I take him home and he starts to cry non-stop, I wish I had just left him at my parents' house. But he is my son I love him nonetheless ... These days my hubby complains that I no longer call him 'darling' cos I've switched to calling the baby 'darling'! Hahaha ...

Hi Worshippertemple,
So how much u pay for the jab? Did u take up any package? My pd's pkg is $400 for e 6 in 1 & I find it too costly. If u didn't take up package, u can still go to Fernvale GP to take e 2nd jab. Jus bring ur baby's health booklet along.

Good morn all Mummies & I feel so refreshed.
Went to my mum's hse for a short stay cos hubby is outstationed. Thank god tat she's helping me to take care of my notti fellow in the daytime so I am not alone. Now my mum kicked me back home despite hubby is not around cos she's going travelling. Dun noe when is my turn to travel too.
Hi ixwong,
The clinic is called "NorthEast Medical Centre" & there are a few locations:
1) 5 Sengkang Square #01-05 Tel: 68755911
2) Blk 39 Jalan Tiga #01-01 Tel: 62413298
3) Blk 531 Bedok North Street 3 #01-692 Tel: 64412402
In the end I took the 5-in-1 jabs cos very scare bb may develop fever after taking the 6-in-1.
Re: Sarong
Hmm... I also give up & use sarong lately after much encouragement from my mum. After tat, life is so much better.

Hi Cat-tail,
Will baby have a fever after taking 6in1? i thought no fever for both 5n1 and 6n1? actually what's the main difference/ in terms of pricing not much also. Although 6in1 more expensive, but 5n1 must pay more for more consultation visits. So in the end, i think cost about the same?

Hi mummytobe,
It all depends on individual baby. My boy develop slight fever after the jab even though the doc said very few babies get fever. The diff. bet 5 & 6 in 1 jab is tat 2nd jab of hepB is included in e 6 in 1 whereas u hv to take hepB separately if u go for 5 in 1.
Mummies, pls rem to standby cooling sheet so in case baby develop fever, it can be affix to the forehead. It is very effective cos after I placed it on my boy, his body temp decreases.

Hi mummy to be,
The 6-in-1 jab is relatively quite new in the market, so my Dr actually advises me to take the 5-in-1.
In fact both 5-in-1 & 6-in-1 jabs may cause fever cos the key element that causes it is "DPT". However, according to the research, there are some improvement on 5-in-1 jabs so the chances for fever is low. There is another factor that I take into consideration is that if you notice that the 6-in-1 jabs is taken when the bb is 1.5 mths rather than 3 mths. So if less than 3 mths old bb develops fever, u will have to admit her to the hospital straight away.
Of cos if u take the 6-in-1, it means less jabs & not so stressful to the bb.
