Mel, i fully understand how u feel. when Isaac was hosipitalize coz' of juandice, i cried like nobody biz my hb was so worried that i will have post natal blues. Now i see my baby laugh heartily to my maid instead to me.. my heart just crash into pcs.

mom_yam,
I can understand how you feel. When my girl only smile to my hb and never smile at me, I was so sad. But dun worry they are still young to know who loves them more.
I'am also planning a trip with baby. Maybe a weekend cruise to relax a bit. Anyone knows whether I need to include bb pic in passport?

ginger, Jumbo has mentioned that you can rent it from this weblink www.babysneed.com.
There is a deposit to pay which I will refund minus rental fees upon safe return of the carrier.
Hope this will help you.

hey gals..
today i felt so touched. my MIL called and want me to go over quickly as L cried and refuse bottle. when i got there, he was quiet in my MIL's arm. As usual, MIL will update me on L's day event, so, i didnt carry him yet. I got so touched when he kept looking at me and his hands start waving and making Oooing sounds. He wants me to carry leh... he recognises me now... Hooray!!!

yah i bought 3 but sold off 1 cos dun need so many. it's $59.90 each but if you buy 3, it's $39.90 each. the fit is comfortable but sizing is a bit funny cos it's general size (ie. 32, 34, 36 etc) so no exact cup size. for me, it's great as a normal nursing bra but a little bit loose when i remove the straps to make it strapless.

my girl won't take frozen EBM either!! i dunno what to do, i guess i have to throw away all the refrigerated ones after 1 wk. even though i don't give her EBM often (i usually just latch her on), this is going to be a problem if i have to go out and leave her with my mom or MIL. guess i just have to plan to pump a few days b4 any functions/event i have to attend.

i really do think the bbs are starting to recognise us. hb and i just came back from a party 1 hr ago and i had left K with my mom since 7.30pm. this is only the 3rd time i've had to go out and leave her for a few hrs. last time she was fine, today my mom says the minute we left the house, she cried for 30 mins nonstop. my mom was very alarmed!!! she thought she had accidnetally hurt/scratched the bb or something! then after a while she realised that maybe the bb just missed us

the Farlin ones i bought are lightly padded, i quite like the shape they give. i've seen padded ones at Mothers Work and Mothercare.

For those bb who reject frozen EBM, are you all on TBF? That's why a slight change of taste, bb cannot accept? Also, do you give baby water?

twinkle-starry/koalarie - when you say pat your bbs to sleep, do you carry and pat or put on the mattress and pat. I tried the recommended method and put J on mattress and mat but we wont sleep leh.
mom_yam - we are in the same boat. hug hug.
tracy - BB need to get their own passport, not incl into parents anymore. you can go online to print out the form and mail in with photo and payment. You can also apply online if you submit digital photo. Then 2 wks later SIR will inform you to go pick up the passport. You can take the photo yourself at home. Just read the guidelines.
Frozen EBM
Tiffany - I am on TBF. I dun give J water. I think frozen EBM does smell different (not sure abt taste though) coz I think freezer itself already have some smell from the engine + other source of smell from food previously kept in there.
J also refuse frozen ones. He drink coz no choice but he will be very fussy and cry. THen I noticed that if I warm it up slightly more, then he will be more receptive.
When you mummies store EBM in freezer, are there any other source of food eg frozen meats? Mine has leh coz MIL only goes marketing once a week. So not sure if that will cause the EBM to smell different.

mel_lim,
i use 2 methods. if he is not fussy at all and we play on the bed, then i will just pat him on the bed to sleep. afraid if i change position he will be wide awake again. If he is on rocker or etc, then i will carry and pat then put in his cot. as long as he is not in his fussy mood, can fall asleep quite fast.
BB passport no longer incl in parent passport? but if we want is the choice still available?

twinkle-starry/koalarie - the method cant work on my boy lei... sob
Tiffany, mine phil cant really speak good english well but can listen pretty good and now she starts to pick up mandrian. but note, is true that some phil english is terrible coz' i've change 2 maids so far and one total cant make it coz' she dont even understand simple instruction.
I notice my maid have a cross-word book and she do it when she is free. (But not i give her one, dunno who gave it to her) maybe you can try giving yours one and try.
as for water, Yes!! must give bbs to drink reason being they will get use to it when they grow older. But just water - dont put honey or anything sweet in the water if not, they will only want sweet things.

Mel,
i give my bb EBM, water and FM. maybe he can adapt to a variety, tats why he didnt reject frozen BM. Agree with Mom_Yam, must introduce water early, if not, they will not want water later.
Mom_Yam
When i give colic drop, i dun add into milk. i will use a syringe to feed and give water after tat. is this method ok?

Re:BB recognising mummy
Looks like i have over-reacted. i just felt so touched lor, coz L sleeps with my MIL from sun to thur nites. Also, spend the whole day with her while i go to work. Was actually worried tat he dont want mummy liao. I only have mon-thur evening to play with him. only sleeps with me on weekends.
Re: Hair
Hmmm..... keeping my fingers crossed. hope i dun have this prob. i actually took risk to perm and colour my hair last mth!
Babe,
I give bb water using cup and spoon. didnt steralise. I feel tat bb is already more than 3 mths, can relax abit liao... need not be so clean, if not, bb immunity wont be strong. Heard from frenz, some already stopped steralising bottles after 6mths.

Yup. I put the netted cheapo type at IL's place. L rely on it alot, cant sleep if not rocked in it. heard fm MIL can use till few mths, as long as he can fit. Just have to fasten the belt as they will flip anytime soon.
U can also invest in FP rocker, comes with stimulation toys, so tat he can self-entertain.
Ryan can sleep without rocking? he can sleep by himself in the cot? Lucas needs to be rocked leh.. everything he will sleep in the rocker, then i will trsf him back to his cot.
