The crying really test our patience. But of cos when successfully calm him, feels really great! My mom gives him "Bao Ying Dan" too. Not very comfortable with it as its meant for children from 1yr old as stated on the box. However the sales person said can give abit to babies. Does it work? My boy likes the taste that's all I can say. Can see the way his mouth moves enjoying it.
Feels alot better after sharing. Its great to get support. Thanks mummies!

and i be gg to pick him with my boy. haha...ok, will read the rest of the thread again tmr when i am back to my hm.
y - my boy is like tat too. has been a light sleeper lately. once i puthim down after cuddling him, he will open his eyes and start bawling. and if i manage to put him down successfully, he will wake up in a couple of minutes. i find it difficult to pump milk if i am alone and he has been crying.

Hi all,
Long time no see & talk. Cephas is 3.5 mths old now. This morning, brought him to West Coast park for a walk & he enjoyed it. Weather was warm but breezy. Came back home & he's sound asleep now. I think he has 'peng san' from the weather. Just some new pics of him

hi sysac,
glad to see that Cephas is doing so well.. think you are one of the mum here who has no complain abt her bb. and moreover, Cephas is our thread da ge da.. hehe..
btw, asking all mums whose bb born in dec or earlier, have your bb's head become more stiff as in dun need to support, they can also hold by themselves? i m trying to train Javier's head now and can see that he is slowly getting it but still need more time..

sysac

My bb likes Bao Ying Dan and Gripe Water - can see him lick and taste his lips with great satisfaction.
I also know its bad to let bb suckle for comfort, but as he is on full FM after the first month (now only one serving of BM each morning, latching on). My MS is in pathetic trickles which makes it a convenient comfort food for him to sleep... it's probably the only competitive advantage I have vs maid whom bb has taken quite a liking to as she's taking care of the night feeds, I am the milk-maker - mom convinced me to let her take the night shift after the first mth for her to 'practise' before i go back to work. It's the insecurity...
Btw, today I bought the Pigeon brand nasal suction thingie which has a flexible soft tube to insert.. much better ergonomics than other brands, bought Safety 1st initially and the tip was too big and hard. Just something to recommend.

hi mummies,
anyone of u msg me yesterday to ask if JL or Robinson's having sale?? coz i accidentally deleted the sms before i could reply n i dun hv the no. stored in my HP.
Denmy,
i also bought 1 Bumwear diaper but haven't tried yet. Poo leaks?? So sad...thot supposed to contain quite well. Did u use 2 nappy liners?
Cindy,
does the Pigeon nasal suction remove nose shit? Looking for something that removes nose shit and not mucus.
sunny,
i hv tried the other way of carrying baby whereby she's sitting up with face towards my chest. Actually i learnt that basically you can hold ur baby in any position desired, then adjust the sling such that the baby is snug in the position u want. Know what i mean? Means u hold the baby in whatever position u want first, then only adjust the sling.
rena,
Guess it's really up to u whether u want to bring baby to PD or GP. But frenz recommend to bring baby to PD for the 1st year coz PD is more detailed n specialized, then after 1 yr old can go GP coz the illnesses they catch are easily treated by GP. So that's what i'm planning to do.
How are u & hubbY? Do take time to cool down and think about the relationship yah...don't make rash decisions! There're always ups and downs in a marriage - pray that this down period of urs may soon go up! Perhaps u may want to consider a marriage counsellor? At least can help u both to talk things out
Re: food warmer
anyone of u has a food/bottle warmer to recommend? Would like to look for one that can heat up milk (for now) and food (in future) for baby.

Hi Edd2jan/Krissie,
Haha! How to complain? I am his mother & he is my son for my life already. He has his cranky stages but then have to deal with it He was cranky during this photoshoot. I wrapped him up & started shooting. That's when he stopped & started smiling. Babies have this sweet endearing smile. When they smile, our hearts will melt.

hi mummies
really been a long time since I last checked into the forum.
TBF supplement with follow-on formula at 6 months
Any 2nd time mums here who has done this?? I've been reading on weaning and introducing solids like rice puree to baby from 4 months onwards and also thinking how to go about supplementing baby with follow-on formula once he's around 6 months old together with breastmilk. Any advice??
I'm trying to arm myself with as much info as possible to prepare myself when the time comes. Already as it is, my MIL, each time see her, she keeps telling me that oh, from 4 months onwards can start giving porridge lah, that breastmilk in itself is not enough lah, that already at 2 months my bb seems like not enough lah... damn annoyinfg I tell you. Then I told my husband that I don't like to be told repetitively so many times, he gets annoyed with me, saying tbat my MIL doesn't know better and she just meant well, just take it that she's lor-so...
Grrrrr, sorry, long time never come here and am complaining already.

my problem is not just with latching. it's more on the postiion of the latch. his mouth very small and he doesn't open his mouth. even if latch on already, he will give up after a while.
where is your LC from?
cindy
my boy also got small mouth. i have been using avent no 2 as well. so far so good.....
i put ru yi oil a few times a day to help him pass wind. think it helps....
denmy,
u use the medela then avent? sounds like a lot of work. maybe i shd try that also
edd2jan
sometimes i dun support my bb's head. he will keep turning his head also. that day we put a toy in front of him and he turned left and right very fast!
Rena
i birng my boy to Gp. shd be ok
mamachan
these kind of things can just one ear in and one ear out. we can't stop them from keep saying. with my own mum, i just tell her whether can or not. with my mil i will just say i know.
anyway, my MIL worse. think she has some weird ideas. everytime we bring bb back, she will keep pushing bb to my hb and insists that my bb wants to listen to my hb's voice. she like has this super huge insecurity that bb only wants me and not my hb. then when my hb mention that he doesn't wan bb to sleep in our room ( i move to bb's room to sleep) she told him must sleep with bb or bb won't wan him. she behaves like she scared bb only close to me. is there anything wrong with bb being close to me? can't stand her.

my MIL on the contrary... whenever my hb carry or coax baby (sometimes I want my hb to carry bb so bb will get use to him also), MIL always want to take over from him and coax herself.
I'm however upset by her action lor. When diaper wet then she ask my HB to change whereas carry bb she want to do.. she also do the same thing to me initally until I refuse her request to take bb from me..then she know I dun like it.
Besides she want to bond with bb, I think more importantly, as parent we should bond with bb.
Esp for me...after 3 mths I will start work, then I have less time with bb already.

is your mil going to take care of your bb after you start work? if yes, think you need to let her build some bonding with your bb so that bb won't have hard time to get use to the new caretaker.
me too have the same thinking as you actually 'cos dont' really like mil to take over my role. haha... but try to switch my mindset a bit 'cos after i go to work, mil will be taking care of my gal. i don't want my gal to be a crying bb when i m not around, so, got to let mil to carry her sometimes...

mummies who are working

sunny,
i have bf my gal in public before, but like u i haven't mastered the art of changing sides too. But i usually just feed my gal on 1 side, then feed the other side at the next feeding, so not too much a problem for me. i think bfing in public needs practice to make it discreet!
i've seriously thought of quitting my job to be a SAHM for the very same reasons that you're considering too. But i'll most likely be returning to work coz my boss is very understanding and flexible and i might be able to bring baby to work. So if that's the case i'll continue working

sunny,
I have not BF in public before but usually do so in the car. Find it more comfortable and no one really notices.
durian lover,
same as you, my boss v understanding...so feel; bad if i quit after 3 mths ML. Yet, my role requires travel and I am no longer comfortable being away fr BB...went to japan with my HB during ML and I cried more than the BB as I felt so sad being apart fr him...

Re: bumwear Nappy
I too kan cheong la. Used it without the nappy liner. Put tissue instead... I just bought liners today, will try the nappy with liners tomorrow and see if it works better.
Re: work
Wa your boss so good... can bring BB to work. What do you do anyway? (hehe kaypo)
SY,
Yes, I use both together: I have the medela electric single pump and Avent ISIS manual. I switch sides and after thorough "extraction" with electric pump, I will finish off with the Avent.
btw, mummies, my left breast can only yield half the amt. of my right breast... anyone like me? How to increase supply of left breast?

so, the interval that your bb asks for milk will be shorter?
wow, your boss is so good!
i had a pretty nice boss before. but he had left. new boss will be joining around the time i go back to work. i am not too sure how understanding the new boss will be... sigh...
if financially allowed, i will definitely quit my job for bb; but quite unlikely at the moment.
ak
ya, normally i bf bb in the car. find that if the car is moving while bf bb, she doesn't really suckle efficiently and always ask for milk in shorter interval.

i thot of it that time too. but after discussing with hb. he feels that bb's devt now is not as crucial as his proper devt, eg those exp courses to stimulate mind, piano class, etc. if i dun work, then no money for those liao in the future. I feel that if we spend quality time with bb everyday, then shldnt be too bad. Coz like now, everyday i take care of him, only spending quantity time, coz too tired to lay proper games with him to stimulate him. whereas, my hb is spending quality time. but, for those who can afford it, then good to be SAHM. Mummy's best.

i feel that bb could learn things v fast esp when they r young. so, every moment is crucial. for quality time, after work when we c bb, bb might already wanna zzz. only weekend we can spend time with bb.
but like what u said, $$$ is important. sigh, so have to really juggle b/w $$$ n time to give the best for bb...

Hi Mummies...good morning....at my mum's plc again....gotta post b4 my sis brings the laptop to sch...hehe....
Sy...I contacted the other mummy from the forum and will be passing her my excess BM today...thanks....a total of 19 packs at 60ml and 70ml each...I think she needs more too....but that's all I can afford to pass to her cos I also need to have some backup in case my MS dips when I get back to work in another 2 weeks time....
Mummies....dun worry abt MS....when I had my first child...my MS was also miserable....it was only after alot of hardwork and breastpain....that I managed to BF well this round...also....I think becos my second child is not a sleepy baby and suckles very well...that's why my body keeps producing....remember....demand=supply....nt easy to BF...whatever u have is good enough....so dun blame yourself or take it negatively....as long as we give what we have that is best to the baby....we have all done our utmost...
Sigh....I starting to get separation blues....worry abt keeping up with MS when I get back to work....worry abt pumping schedule cos I teach and I dun have much free time to pump....so worry that baby will not be taken care in the same way that I had taken care of him for the past 3 months...SIGH....so many worries right....some really senseless....and making me rather mang zhang and stressed...hubby ask me to take it easy....sigh....me also dunno how....
RE: BF in Public....
Using the Sling is really good cos it is really discreet...however...I normally only BF one side and the when I get back to the car...I will BF the other side....hehe....some days...I dun even bother to wear Maternity tops but just some loose Tshirts....I will just flip up...feed and then business done! hehe

Joanna,
I don't use the sling but I still breastfeed in the public if no choice.
Yesterday went to the airport to send my hubby off to US, he will be in New York for 2 weeks. the nursing room is very far away, so I just sit at a corner, facing the corner to breastfeed her at BK. didn't wear nursing top or have sling but luckily my bra is front drop type. very easy. luckily baby didn' make a big fuss as well.

Morning mummies...
went to the expo on fri and agree that there isn;t much things at all. thot i can grab some diapers like pet pet, nepia or mamy pokos on sale but there is none. only one germany brand(nvr heard b4), drypers and EQ/Sealer.
in the end i bought the sealer brand for 12 bucks per 64 pcs. bought 2 big packs.
i also manage to get some baby safety stuffs like door latch, table corner and a rattle toy. all at 2 bucks or 3 bucks. very cheap. then a auto baby night light at 7 bucks. got a pureen sterilising tablets at 5 bucks for 60plus tablets. tats all...i heard mother hood in june is much much better. yeah cannot stand those slimming, facial and insurance ppl. here we are finding those stores..they attack us and have to find ways to siam them. teriible!
sunny - no i don;t have the thought of quitting my job. i think i will always need to have my own time without baby else i be stick to him for life. my MIL and my mum will rotate in taking care of him in the day while i can resume my normal activities back at work ...lunching and bonding with my colleagues. but then my work lately has been quite unstable as there could be retrench in the future..so when the time comes, then i may consider finding another job or not then face being a SAHM and losing my personal savings for shopping

Hi mummies
Being a SAHM
Currently am on no-pay leave already to be the caregiver for bb. Though it's really financially tight for us, I think the sacrifice is worth it, even if it means no more buying things for myself unless necessary. It's good for bb to stick to us now than when they turn into school-going age, all they want is to be with their friends (well, I was like that when was younger). I guess right now is the best time to spend with them, teaching them and bringing them up right.
BF in Public
I've tried doing that outside, the pulling down of nursing bra and lifting of the top is easy, it's when baby is done and not interested to feed and start to squirm and you have to try to adjust back both the bra and the breast pad which is rather annoying for me. ANy mummies encounter this problem? Any advice on how to successfully put back the breast pad in the right position without a bulge appearing at the breast?

Denmy
I understand from my aunt who had breastfed all my 3 cousins mentioned that it's natural that one breast will somehow have more milk than the other. In order to increase the MS, just let baby latch on more on the side where it's low than after awhile, do keep alternating between both breasts

SY,
the LC that I saw was from KK. Have you tried compressing your nipple so that it's easier for the baby to latch on?
Denmy,
My right also has more milk than my left. The LC said that it's normal that one side has more than the other.
Sunny,
I have breastfed my baby in public without the sling. I don't know how to use the sling to breastfeed. It's quite okay. I use nursing bra and tops and either fed in the nursing room (taka got very nice nursing rooms) or at corners.
Mamachan,
My mil also the same - whenever my baby cries, she will ask if it's because she doesn't have enough. It's always the first reason that mil thought of. My baby cries a lot - might not be due to hunger. What I did was to express a bottle of milk before going to her house and when baby cries, bottle feed her in front of my mil. My baby didn't want to drink then either so she stopped asking if my milk is enough for the baby. Now she's asking if the baby's thirsty. SIGH. I just leave my hb to explain.
SSF,
I did a calligraphy brush with my baby 's hair with the Taimaobi Centre at KK. You can call them for enquiry. The Tel is 62973513.
I am also worried abt going back to work. My baby wants to be carried all the time. Not sure how my mother's going to cope.

wenyl - how to PM har? sorry still blur abt this function. anyway, i tried last week on the infant carrier and this time i face him outward instead of inward and was so happy that he enjoyed it. i even carried him to the airport to pick my hubby and he was so surprise tat bb was so quiet and cosy sleeping in it. i think he just want to see the world. haha...so for now, i be keeping it though. i bought it at kids mall at $79 bucks. i dun think its the 6 in 1 kind that you are referring to. can only carry front and back tats all. but it is well cushion and comfy which explains the steep price.
sl - how much did you pay for the calligraphy brush? i am not sure if the hair is sufficient though. is it a concern if its too little?
re: pumping milk
all mummies who are expressing in the wee hours..do hang on. i am also quite tired and always thinking of quitting. told my hb and complain many times tat i am very tired tat i need to wake up in the middle of the night to pump. but thinking of my baby and how the breast milk will benefit him really make me think otherwise. so all mummies who are expressing..ya doing a good job and no matter how much the qty is, do not give up! a single feed of EBM is better than none. so jia you..jia you.
my EBM is also quite unstable. at times i can get like only 120ml per session and at times i can get like 200ml. so do perservere and give the best to your precious ones

SSF,
I paid $150 for the jintailan brush.
Yup, they provide door-to-door svc but must call in advance and I didn't. So brought my baby to KK to shave her.
They will advise you on what kind of brush you can make based on the amt of hair that your baby has. If baby's hair not enough to make the smallest one, then can use parent's hair to make the central part. That's what I gather from the brochure. My baby got quite a bit of hair so it's enough.

Hi mommies,
Seems like all babies are almost the same! My ga Megan is also a fussy baby. Since one month onwards, she loves to be carried and rock to sleep and it can take more than one hour to do that - only to have her wake up in a few minutes when we put her down on the cot/bed...... I was so tired and frustrated that i broke down too. It doesn't help when my first child was easy to take care of. Megan has no problem latching on but she simply hates bottle. Even till now, coming to 9 weeks old, it takes us 15 mons to coax her to finish 3 ounces of milk and had to feed and walk...... Thank God for my mum who's there to ease my tirness..... Now i am worried my mum cn't cope when i go back to work in April.
But when i m frustrated, i saw how patient my mum was towards Megan, i felt bad that i, being the mother is more impatient.......... Anyway, i let Megan sleep in sarong i the day time now. At least need not to carry her - hand ache, plus so sweaty with the hot weather nowadays. With sarong, she can sleep longer and now i worry she sleep too much and doesn't get enough stimulation!!!!
I had post natal blues one two weeks after i gave birth. I felt bad towards my elder gal that i am unable to give her undivided attention anymore. Yet i also felt bad towards Megan cos i also cannot give her all the attention like i used to to my elder gal..... so contradicting..... had a few crying episodes during tjose two weeks. Most mothers with more than one kids complain of the physical tiredness but no one warns me of the emotional part. Till i spoke to a few friends with two kids, they all felt the same feeling once........ Hai.
