8 days - that's how long i've been storing my refrigerated BM for. if not used by that time, i've been moving it to the freezer. seems to be ok so far, except that K is getting fussy abt drinking frozen milk, sometimes want sometimes don't want.
milk remaining in bottle - i'm not sure how applicable that is for us in s'pore cos our warmer room temp means bacteria breeds faster. usually i throw away unfinished milk after abt 0.5 - 1 hr.

Miu66,
Aiyohh.... i have been transferring all these fresh milk to freezer on 3rd day! so wasted. My boy also dislike thawed BM, end up, MIL has to mix the thawed milk with fresh to avoid any wastage.

hi ladies,
just a reminder that the article is written in US/Europe context where the weather condition is different from Sg so might not fully apply.
BMSG did a check with Local Fridge Companies and found that the temprature of the Refridgerator Section of a 2-Door Fridge varies between 3 to 6 degrees C. while in the guide, the recommended temp is 0-4 degree. so somehow our fridge is not as cold.
for me so far I am following Sg's context of storing in 2 door fridge for up to 48 hrs only.....better safe than sorry despite knowing how precious/limited our milk are.

i think that is sensible advice
for me, the 8 days thing has been ok so far, K has drunk one-week old milk and has been ok, no diarrhea (touch wood!!) BUT my fridge does happen to be super cold!!! on a medium setting, my packets of milk are half frozen and we're always having exploding cans of coke!!
tiffany
there are display jumperoos at toys r us and i've also seen it at kiddy palace marina. i've got my eye on a 2nd hand one but the seller doesn't seem to be replying

on a completely different note, just want to share something with all the ladies here...
my hubby and i took leave yesterday to spend time together since it was our wedding anniversary. we went to raffles city to have a nice meal and to do some shopping. naturally, we went to robinsons children's section to look at baby stuff.
while browsing at the bb toys section, we overheard this guy complaining to his wife, something along the lines of:
"can you don't buy? the house is filled with baby's stuff already, can you don't buy anymore? can we go now? i'm so bored. we are supposed to have couple time today leh, can we don't look at baby stuff anymore?"
i swear i am not exaggerating, those were his exact words. my hubby and i overheard that guy complaining and complaining non-stop while his wife looked at the bb stuff. i was quite upset by that guy's attitude. you mean it's a torture to buy stuff for your own bb?! his poor wife! can't even have the joy of buying stuff for her bb...
then my hubby told me that we don't know the entire story, mebbe the wife has really bought a LOT of bb stuff and can't control herself (i think i have the same prob, ha).
dunno lah, i just felt very affected by the whole episode, so have to share with fellow mommies here. i'm so upset with that guy! luckily my hubby not like dat!

fussiecat, how many times u express a day to see to this increase? Hoping that that happens to as my stock in freezer is almost down to zero n the amt I express each day not enuf for my gal.
Wow...u mean can freeze milk after it's been in fridge for a day or two? I thot to freeze u muz do it straight after expressing and can't leave it out in the fridge. Those in fridge I usually consume within 48 hrs.

miu66 - what is the brand of yr fridge? I am thinking of buying new fridge as current one is a bit old and MIL always stuff the fridge thus not really cold. buy new one so that can ensure EBM stays fresh.
fussiecat - i know what you mean by u affected by the episode. I ever witness a man suaning his wife in a nursing room b4 and in front of the child somemore. i think he makes his wife really no face and also teaches the child to disrespect his mother.....i also go so upset then. But on the otherhand, this couple that you saw...the hubby also have a point where it is couple time....i think we should not forget to spend couple time with our hubby after our BBs arrives.

babyship
i express only 3 times per day (24 hours), each time will take about an hour. I took the advice of other pumping moms in the forum: pump ten mins on each side, twice, so total pumping time is abt 40-60mins. I have stuck to this routine ever since i go back to work a little more than a mth ago, so i'm puzzled by why my supply increase too.

i felt that spending time together shopping for bbstuff is also couple time. in fact, that was what my hubby and i were doing. as long as we are having an enjoyable time together, it can be considered quality couple time. that guy at robinson was complaining loudly, as if he wanted other pple to hear so that his wife would be embarrassed and leave immediately. so horrid.

Good morning Ladies
Re : Baby Flipping
My gal starts to flip and turn abt 3 weeks ago and eversince she dont like to lie on her back except during sleeptime.
Like Des, also got to fight with her during changing diapers and clothes cos she wanted to flip all the times. Heee.. very funny
Re : Breastmilk
I agreed with Mel that it is safer to follow Sgs context to store milk cos our weather is different from USA side. Im following all the instructions from BMSG too.
Fussiecat, I would feel so upset if my hubby is like that man! Eversince Im pregnant, my hubby and I usually shop at babys department and no where else! But I had seen a lot impatient men who shouted their wives (or girlfriends) when they were shopping and they looked really bored!
Latest photo of my gal.

jasminetea,
How old is ur ger now? My ger can't flip yet, but when we deliberately flip her, she can stay there for a long time. And she enjoy it haha.. she loves to be on her tummy too, but only for a while.
Tifanny,
I go anywhere also can buy my ger clothes heehee... went bugis yesterday and bought another 3 at OG. I loved the clothes sold at seiyu too. Very sweet
But i guess it largely depends on the brands. Brands like richgi, disney etc normally have very great designs. But expensive lor, cost more than $20. I normally grab those on offer.. like around $15 or less. I dun really like oshkosh and fox though.
Guess wat.. my ger now has whole shelf of clothes.. can last her to 18 mths.. yesterday i even bought one winnie the pooh dress for her which is 18-24 mth

koalarie - sound more like a block duct than engorement to me. I think it is possible as block duct is dried milk stuck in your duct. You can try to apply hot pad and massage it away.
screaming BB - yes, J also seems more vocal nowadays if something is not done his way. guess they are just getting smarter by the day huh.

Me went down to Taka today also. May have bump into miu66 and other mummies. kekeke
My purchase:
a) a potty
b) Pigeon mag mag full set ($13.50)
c) Tiny Love Ozzie Orange ($15.90) At this moment, it's my toy cos YY doesn't know how to appreciate it yet. It's so cute!
https://www.tinylove.com/toy.aspx?toyId=87
(There's Andy Apple and Anna Banana in the series.)
d) Sassy Busy Bug Stroller Bar ($19.90)http://www.sassybaby.com/category?cattype=category&catid=18&productid=102&product=Busy%20Bug%20Bar
Super crowded? hmmm...ok lah, not as crowded as I expect. Being a PH.
Almost all major brands are there, didn't see Combi or Pureen though.
My gal cried hysterically when she saw her cousin just now. Think it's the cousin's face, painted some symbols (quite faint) and a small S'pore flag. But it's not scary what...silly gal, dunno what she's thinking that she suddenly breaks out. Made my MIL so tense up why she wailing so loud cos she NEVER cry like that before. After I comfort her, which didn't take too long, she's all smiles again. As she takes to her tub for her usual evening bath, she seems to have forgotten why she was frightened minutes ago, kicking and splashing merrily.

Hello Ladies
Tiffany,
I guided my gal how to flip when she is about 3 mths old. Then one day she surprised me by flipping herself. Now she flip so fast that I dare not put her lie down alone on high places like my bed or sofa. And somehow she likes to lie on her tummy rather than back when she is awake.
Don't worry lah. Your boy is not slow lah. Maybe your boy will be faster in other development, like walking?
I love Fox's baby clothings cos price is reasonable and design very nice. U got shop there before? Other than that, heee.. I buy from gymboree or jshopper spree. I like Mothercare also but too expensive, so never buy. Just see see look look only.
KK,
My gal is exactly 4 mths yesterday.
Evon,
Heeee.. you're right! That pants from Gymboree lor. Me is a big fan of Gymboree liao.
I think very common. My gal also loves to scream when she can't get what she wants! Nowadays she likes to make a lot of baby talks.

nana,
Let's see whether my ger can flip on her own these coming weeks. She is in her 14th week.
I remembered i saw her trying to flip around 2 weeks back. But she got fed up when she couldn't and also sighed haha.. when she was trying to flip, she was actually trying to push her buttocks over first, but kept falling back heehee...

Fussiecat,
No problem. As long as our babies are enjoying themselves.
Miu,
Ur baby looks like a gal leh. Not abit like boy.
RE: Swimming
I intend to bring my boy for swimming when he's 6mths old.
Having a bb gal can really help mummy to spend quite alot. Their clothings are sooo pretty and cute. Whenever I go to the clothing section, always have the tendency to buy some ger ger clothes.. heeeheee....
My boy has just started to flip from right to left and left to right and he wanted to 'crawl'.
