i handwash BB clothes 2 times a day, after his bath and after the evening wipe. As for nappy, they are machine wash in the evening after his wipe cos he will be wearing diaper after that.
so far, my bibs are ok leh. maybe lately weather humid so clothings seems not very dry lor. try to let wind blow or sun it thoroughly.

would like to know how long and often your baby wakes up during the day? Wonder if Brennan sleeps too much during the day and makes him keeps fidgetting at night when he sleeps?? He tends to sleep better during day nowadays.
He started sleeping through the night (11 - 630) a week ago but these few days keeps fidgetting (around 3+) till he cant sleep. He doesnt want milk but just keep scratching his head and ears.
so i just pick him up and latch him for 10mins.
Could this be due to his long sleep duering the day?

sweetie, syl,

Jenifur,

mybabydream: Yup, we all sleep on the floor. My bedroom has a queen mattress and a single mattress placed side by side and all 4 of us sleep together at night! Nobody gets hurt at all cos my walls are lined with foam mats and so is my floor. So the my older gal can actually jumo around and roll all over the place without us fearing for her safety.
How do I cope with 2 kids? We had to make a few changes b4 and after Ember's arrival.
1. I got a maid when #1 reached 1 and a half. This is so that everybody gets used to everybody else b4 baby's arrival, and also that I get help the moment I get pregnant.
2. #1 used to travel with us every morning to ny mom's place. Now my in laws have moved in with us (and return to their own home over the weekend) and when I work, the maid entertains+take care of my #1 and they take care of #2. Maid also cooks for us and do the housework.
We MAY have a 3rd baby... but right now we're still thinking if we can really afford it when they start studying.

SSL: All kids 17months and below go to Infant care centers. Unfortunately the nearest infant care center to our place is at Sembawang. None at all in Woodlands and Marsiling.
Ya, I am indeed v lucky to have my in laws come and stay with us.
My maid has a room but that is actually a playroom for Kyra and there is also a little study area there. We dun need to put a bed for her cos in my house everyone sleeps on tri-fold mattresses (except for the master bedroom). In this way we save a lot of space. It is important to get a maid (if you want one) with experience in childcare or even one with her own children cos that's the only way they will know how to take care of children and that they are precious to us parents. Choosing a maid is really a matter of luck lah. You can be v careful and particular abt your expectations but still the maid who turns up at ur house may be completely different from what u expected. Dun have too high expectations if you wan a maid and you will be spared a lot of headaches.

BF mummies, do u inform yr boss that u need time to express? I'll b gging back to wk. Hvnt hv a chance to inform them. worry hv no time to express... & now is def no place also... tiking oif changing jobs, but wanna get a friendly environment that encourage bf, good to inform during interviews?
3rascals: i seriously dun think u will want to tell ur next prospective employer tt u are gonna eat up ur working time by going to expressing milk for ur bb.. think carefully about it!. they can jolly well pay someone.. who can do ur work.. tt u are gonna do.. but minus bf!
3rascals,
I didn't officially inform, but once you express in the office, they will come to realise that you are breastfeeding and kinda accept it. I also try to do it quickly (15 mins) so that I wouldn't take up too much office time. What you need to do it get your eqt all ready before you leave home(ie. sterilised bottles and funnels, bags, etc).

eh mummies i got a qn,
whenever u all go out with friends or hubby without baby, do u feel guilty and want to quickly rush home? I think i am driving myself mad, cos i always so scared that my son will be close with maid/mil so even if i am super exhausted, i still force myself to bathe him or feed him.

3rascals: yah looking for job desperately! if i cant get one by june, then i will start to procreate. i quitted when i was expecting my bb. in need of $ u see, haha. but i think bb stress(not being able to produce) will be more than work stress(jobless). wah, u can still tolerate in yr co for few yrs, mine limit quite low.
mrs tan: i am! heart w bb even when out......b4 i wean, i wan to rush home to bf...dam stressed.
ruff:i intend to feed bb at 4/5 mths...quite "tense" coz i dun know much abt food, read abt pp giving solid food i also blurblur. coz i cant cook myself. yes, bb wear socks even at home, else feet cold.

yes, bb wear socks even at home, else feet cold.If the weather is cold, I'll let my bb wear booties, but bb has not worn mittens for a long time now, so that she gets to grab and feel with her hands (of cuz suck her thumb and fingers as well..haha)
I leave my bb with parents overnight (abt one or two nights per week) if I want a break (ie. sleep more or just have time to ourselves). It's quite nice to have a break once a week actually. Of course I miss my bb but I think it's good for me. Otherwise having bb every night is quite siong as well.
I'm blur about solids as well cuz I don't cook at home! Will have to start reading up and asking the rest of you soon (those who cook).

i stopped the catering after trying for one month. food so so and always arrive cold. so MIL say dont order. sometimes she cook for me, sometimes i cook myself.
huh, i do the handwash when MIL around to take care of BB. no choice la
Brennan has stopped wearing mittons and booties. Only let him wear socks at night and when we go out.
Ya, will definitely feel guilty when i go out, even to buy his stuff. Will make sure i rush back before a certain time.

syl,
how old is your baby? she looks big.
all,
my grace has been crying badly when we fetch her home every night. I am wondering why. She will cry for about 1 hour+. Diapers change, not feeding time yet, no stomachache. Maybe frustration being not able to sleep after last feed at baby sitter place cos too much movement when we pick her up.
my grace will smile alot and chuckles when she wakes up in the morning everyday. I will miss it if she were to be taken care by baby sitter during the night.
Will be travelling on bizness trip soon. Hubby going to take care of her singly. Baby sitter not willing to take care cos she scared no rest at night.

My baby's 2.5 months..the youngest of all the Oct babies. Maybe it's the pic that looks big, but she's quite small still compared with the rest of the Oct babies.
San,
The first day of work after ML for me was terribly hectic because of all the work that has been piled up. Will get better after a couple of days once you start clearing some backlog.
