May,
Baby poo should be loose. I think if its hard means she not having enough water. Also, read somewhere before that if u feed bb more during the day for them to store up enough energy, they'll sleep longer in the night. My bb feeds every 2-3hrs in the day but night, feeds every 4.5hrs max. I'll wake her up to feed her if she doesn't wake up after 4hrs. LC says its not good to let them sleep through hunger also.
Queen,
Do the allow u to try the bras before buying? I'm wearing 38C now and I need to buy more. Thinking of getting more 38C or 38D. Tried 36C from the shop I bought my bras from but too uncomfortably tight.. Was 34B pre-preggie.
Recommendations
I'm thinking of buying a small sized 300L fridge to store my BM. Too many bottles taking up too much space in my main fridge. Right now, I got 20+ bottles inside and my meats running out of space to store. Any of u got any recommendations for places that sell new household appliances cheap? Buying from courts or denki etc more expensive right? Was thinking of $200-$300 range fridge.

Why not considering getting those pre-sterilised bags to store your BM? I'm not too sure where to get them though, I know AVENT used to carry them but it's discontinued. I'm using them as have a friend who has weaned off her BB girl and had some bags left and passed them on to me. I find them really good and space saving.
Am currently on the lookout for such storage bags.

Mamachan,
I saw those bags before. Medela has them too but they're quite expensive and are non-reusable. I'll need about 4-5 per day.
ALso, my home is double storey and the main fridge is downstairs. Im' getting quite lazy walking up and down in the middle of the night getting her milk form the fridge too. Right now, I'm using the glass bottles from the hospital & my medela bottles but I've used up all of them. Really scratching head.. maybe I'll just listen to hubby and throw away some milk..

Yuen Yuen, May,
Sometimes at night, say 2.30pm, my Isaac will poo after feed and when I change his diapers, he'll be awakened. Then his eyes big big loh, arms and legs moving about. I'll try to pat and rock him for a while. If he still doesn't want to sleep, then I just switch off the lights and leave him the cot and return to bed. He'll make noises lah, but won't cry. I just ignore it and soon he'll tire himself out and sleep on his own. As long as your BB doesn't cry, maybe can try leaving them to sleep by themselves. Just ignore their BB noise. Entertaining them sure make them more awake.
Those few times I fed FM, my boy only drinks 60ml, as compared to 80ml BM.
Yuen Yuen,
wah... $80 for a weighing machine! My HB sure don't want to buy one...
Wendy,
Do you mean the bras I'm going to get from Maternity Mall? It is an US online store so of cos no trying. But I think should be similar to most lingerie brand sizing. I was 34B pre-preggie. Since I'm almost back to pre-preggie weight, I could wear my old bras, except that, cup size may have to increase to C cup.
Mamachan,
You can buy try Gerber (can get from Robinsons) or Lasinoh (from Mothercare) milk bags.

Your boy drinking so little, then mine must be very greedy. drinking 120ml BM since last week and FM can drink from 90-120ml. And he is on 10 feeds aday.
Weight machine - no choice, force hus to buy as was worry about him jaundice. $80 is better than admitting bb to hospital ehich cost me $600-$700 per day.
May
Mine just want to be carried too. since mum have been carrying him from day one, so he is spolit already.
Wendy
I thought bb on FM, the poo is different from bb on BM as mine seem to change to paste form when i put him on FM.

Yuenyuen,
wow..ur boy is drinking so much FM? How many weeks is he? Mine abt 3weeks only 70ml.
For her poo, noticed that more FM given, poo will be more solid. Then I will feed her more water with glucose, it will turn to yellowish paste. My girl refused to drink plain water, so must put some glucose to sweeten it.

2nd, A tollyjoy star. Where u pull and there will be lullaby music. That's for her to sleep.
3rd, A small frog and duck that can be tie at baby's wirst which has rattling noise. But now cannot tie yet. So shake it in front of her lor.

Your weighing machine can weigh up to how many kgs or how big? What is the brand and where you bought it from?
Queen
MAybe I should go out and try on new bras again.. Going out nowadays very troublesome cuz gotta carry my girl ard. I bought the MIM sarong sling but I dunno how to use it even after watching the VCD. My girl cries & cries after I tried a few times cuz she was so oddly positioned I gave up. Anyone staying near Greenridge Shopping Centre (Bukit Panjang) got the sling? I need some practical help in learning how to use it
Mummies
I found out yday that my girl can turn her head 180deg already so I let her sleep on her tummy today. She was uncomfortable initially but after moving, lifting and adjusting her head a few times, she settled down & quietened down very fast. Also, putting her down tummy to tummy with me lying down propped on a bolster and her head sideways on my chest above my heart does wonders when she's crying. In fact, both of us were so comfy we fell asleep. Maybe you can try also to calm ur babies down.

Oh, is your bb currently being bottle fed?? How many weeks old is bb already?
For me, BB Daren takes to the breast like a guzzler. and he'll try to drink as much as there is to offer. somtimes he needs to be on the breast to fall asleep at night which is tiring. So the lying down position works best for me as taught by the consultant

SY,
I find that my boy sleeps well in the sling. Can go shopping with him in it and he doesn't even stir!
Wendy,
I put my Isaac on his tummy a couple of times and he'll lift his head and turn 180 degrees as well, push his feet and hands and struggle. So end up turn him back. But it seems like BBs do stop crying when put on their tummy. My boy also will stop crying when I do that.
Yuen Yuen,
I have no idea how much my boy drinks now. He was dinking about 70-80ml BM when in week 3 to 4. Last week (week 5) he drank 110ml according to my MIL but she says she tried to make him finish the bottle.
Wendy / durianlover,
So far I have tried only 1 sling position, with BB lying almost flat to sleep in the sling. Works well for me. Let me know if you need any help.

Dear all,
It has been a long time since I pop by..
i think I am going into depression soon..i felt mang zhang when elijah cry non stop..Plus now that I am down with flu, I am so worried that he will catch the virus.. especially when I am looking after him full time at home..
Re : hubby
recently I keep picking on hubby as I felt that I am making lots of sacrifce for elijah but not for him.. and he gets sort of upset when I ask he to do simple things...
As I am looking after elijah during the day and night, some how I expect him to take over from me during the evening totally until 11 plus but some how things are not going my way..
at time when I am worried about baby (eg.. strand of blood from his poo , bb gets choke at time of feeding), he seems boh chap and feels that I am too gan chong.
Stress!!!!!
Re tingkat services for dinner and lunch
Does anyone has tried ? I wish to order any recommandation?

Long time didn't hear from you, so the CL left already and you are taking care of Elijah alone. Very tough, me also just finish feeding. mine keep crying from 11.30 till now, peacefully asleep now.
I know what you mean, my hub also sleep like a log, lucky for me, my mum is helping me so we take shift. Complained to my hub previously and he mentioned that he have to work while I am on ML so can rest during the day.
Told him that for 2 hourly feed how to rest and since now bb more on FM, there are endless things to wash. He still said that he will take shift once I start work.
Strand of blood from poo, is that because the poo is too hard and dry? try giving water. I realise the bb on FM need more water.
Mine also choke during feed, should be ok, don't worry.

Hi Cookie,
congrats! yep, you have to wake bb up every 3 hours at least, else she will not wake up to feed on her own... also check that bb is latched on well, if she is not latched on well, you will have engorgement, and sore nipples... I experienced sore nipples for 5 weeks b4 it subsided, and that is the worst thing about breastfeeding for me, nearly give up coz of the pain, hang in there!
SY,
sorry, just saw your qn, sorry, symptoms of reflux - continous feeding, even though bb is full, Shannon could latch on for 1 hour at my breast, and still drink 90ml of FM when she was 3 weeks old.. non stop, if not, she will start crying and crying and only quiet down when we give her milk, coz milk help with the stomach acid, so bbs are smart to drink to try to minimise the discomfort... after the overeating, she will throw up alot... after every feed, she throws up about 3 mouthfuls of milk... sometimes, can come up projectile, like merlion. Also, backward arching of the back, which lessens the discomfort in the tummy. After she passed week 5, she started getting heartburn, so she will feed at the breast for a few min, then start crying, coz of the pain in her throat...
Mummies,
Shannon wakes up if she throws up for her reflux, coz of the pain, otherwise she is pretty prompt in her feedings, every 2 hours will wake up. I will swaddle her everytime I put her down for a nap, coz she can't sleep well without swaddling. Her hands moving around will wake her up, so this is sometihing perhaps can try?
In the day, I let her sleep in a rocker, in the night will be her cot. At night, I let her have one FM at 12am, then she will sleep at least 3 or 4 hours, which eases my tiredness. Also, night time, lights will be dim, and I will keep it very quiet, so she gets the hint and falls asleep after every feed... sometimes after feeding FM, she will be wide awake, so I give her comfort by latching her at the breast, and it works most of the time, in 5 min, she will doze off, and I can carry her off to her cot. Also at night, I 'pack' the cot so she have very little space to move, so she feels secure and stays asleep.. bostlers on both sides..
Clare,
Shannon and Ashley sama sama, when she wakes up for milk and starts crying, she wants it NOW, means NOW! When she starts crying at night, the first thing we do is not to pick her up, is to close all the windows and the doors so that she dun wake up the neighbours!

may,
poor thing...sounds terrible to hv to take care of a sick person n bb during confinement. Why don't u try talking to MIL nicely to ask her to stay home till she recovers? Let her know that newborns very sensitive to germs n might catch it from her...see what she says..
SY,
i find that my baby sleeps well in the sling too. She sleeps like a log! Heh. But then again, she generally sleeps well, so i'm not sure if the sling is better for her to sleep, or just that she sleeps well so can sleep in the sling - know what i mean?
queen,
i also only know how to put baby in lying down position in the sling. Now still a bit too young to try out the other positions.
rena,
yah really long time never hear from u! For me, my hubby also doesn't take care of baby at night - but it's also coz i don't want him to. He's a teacher and very xiong for him to keep waking up and to have to still go to sch early next morning, so i decided to spare him the 'torture'. ANyway i'm breastfeeding so no pt for him to wake up either. Perhaps u can try talking to ur hb to let him know how u feel?

ANyway i'm breastfeeding so no pt for him to wake up either. Perhaps u can try talking to ur hb to let him know how u feel?
Yuenyuen,
my boy is taking 80-90EBM since week2. and now he's into week3, i'm giving 90-110ml. issit too much? seems like the other bbies here are drinking much lesser than my boy. wonder if i'm giving too much. but if i don't give that amt, bb seems unsatisfied.
sleepingdeer,
maybe u can try putting her to sleep on her tummy, so her hands can't move as much. think quite a few of us mummies here are putting our bbies to sleep that way and it works well. u may wanna try.
Rena,
ya my hb oso super bo chap. worst still, he will walk away when bb cries. don't even bother to pick him up. all he knows how to do shout for the confinement lady. dat's y we are extending our confinement lady for another month. coz if not, i think i will go mad taking care of the bb all by myself. hopefully by 2-3 mths bb is bigger and able to sleep thru the night then won't be so taxing.

Hi May,
poor thing, it is already super stressful when you ahve to take care of bb, and do confiement, now still have to take care of your MIL, your hubby deserves a scolding leh.. how can he ask you to take care of your MIL when you are the one who should be taken care instead... during confinement, our bodies are very weak, you have to take care of yourself too..! Your MIL also quite funnie leh, if she is sick, she should stay away from bb, tell your hubby to talk to her and ask her to go home, he needs to be very considerate and senstive of your needs and bb's needs during this time... take care!

Hi Celine,
hee hee, never thought of that, though bb sleeps on my chest like that, on her tummy
Thanks, will try that out and see whether she is ok or not... initially I was worried about SIDS, but my LC say our mattresses are firm enuff, so no need to worry, and so far, she has no problem lifting her head to turn to the side... think I will still supervise first and see how she takes it.

Celine,
think as long as your bb weight gain is ok, and not over the limit, should be fine. Shannon was taking about that amount + more with her reflux, and her weight gain is little over the expected, but since she came out small, our paed didn't say anything, so should be fine.
Mummies,
any one still epxeriencing lochia after 5 weeks? and red in colour? I still am, thot of going back to see my gynae to check, but when I call the clinic to ask the nurses there, they say it's normal, some people can go up to 8 weeks... as long as no heavy bleeding or clots, she just ask me to monitor, say it could be a hormone inbalance woh..

sleepingdeer,
i was very KS. I bot a baby monitor that is also a motion detector, so if bb stops breathing, it will beep. hence don't have to worry about SIDS. but i think SIDS are pretty rare coz bb will make noises automatically if they are uncomfortable. then again, to have a peace of mind, better to monitor initially.
i have yet to weigh my bb. think will do so later. btw wat's the guage for the weight gain?

Durianlover and sleepingdeer,
My hubby told her not to go close baby last night. She show black face immediately and say "can't i come to see my granddaughter?" Then he keep quiet liao.
Difficult to ask her go home leh.. since she is already here with all her stuff liao. She used to sleep in the same room as my hubby, baby and me when she come over during the 2nd week of my confinement. But now my hubby ask her to sleep in separate room already. What I can do now is carry baby away from her lor.. try to use excuses like she is thirsty or what. Hate it when she bend closely to baby and start talking to baby. She dun understand that her germs will spread to my baby when she do that !!! Urgh..now my hubby go work. She go close to my baby again.

Queen, durian,
I think i really need someone to show me how to use the sling. Maybe becuz my bb very small sized so very difficult to use the sling properly? When will be a good time to meet up?
May,
My bb is 21days old. She can turn her head 180deg and turn her body from side to side. I noticed sometimes when I placed her to sleep on 1 side or facing up, she'll end up sleeping on the other side after awhile. Also, sometimes I put her down straight, she'll end up sleeping perpendicular to the position I placed her so gotta watch out for her falling off the cot & bed now.

RE: baby monitor

Baby weighing scale
I'm actually looking for a baby weighing scale like the ones in PD clinic, not adult weighing scale. Anyone know where to buy one?

Wendy,
My baby is 23days old. She can turn 180 degrees too. But when lie on tummy, she will try to lift her head up awhile. When burping her, she also try to lift up her head awhile too. So cute to see them move like that.
RE: Rebonding
I don't care liao.. Sunday then my confinement is over. But I will go rebond this thurs or fri when my MIL is feeling better. Got to grab 1 or 2 sets of new clothes also.
