Putting babies to sleep
My old grandma (God bless her soul) told methat if you want to let the baby sleep without carrying, hold onto the hands and dont allow her/him to move it... then they will fall asleep faster as they feel that they are being carried. I suppose its the same as swaddling
Screamy babies
My baby screams too. Usually she does not cry but when she does, she means business. My no 1 will say, meimei cry.... loud.... haha

Hi milo
Re Screaming bb
No worries, my boy also screams, he never cries one..once he start, he will scream until he no voice..REALLY so me seldom bring him out scared malo...
Btw, I learnt from Ms Wong that for such bb u have to be veri firm with them. She said BB do not understand fierce/shouting but bb will understand firmness..still trying to perfect my firm voice..ha!
Ya, I also realise that when my MIL is around, Rayne is super guai...when she not around, he become veri "org" .

kk,
why yr girl sweat mostly at night? bcos u turn on the air-con in the day? ya ya... my arm always v wet from carrying him... i wanted to let him sleep in air-con at night with us but i was told not to do so bcos my boy has some breathing symptoms. apparently his breathing is quite loud at times of the day, and esp at night. sometimes he seems to be grasping for air in his sleep so i dare not put him in air-con at night. does anyone else have the same problem?

my son also breathe v loud; at nite even worse, seems like grasping for air also. Paediatrican says he got blocked nose, can sleep in air-con but not for too long. These few days weather terribly hot, me can't do without air-con at nite so no choice, bb also sleep in air-con. But I'll try to turn off the air-con in the early morning...

catherine,
you also experience the same? i brought my boy to the PD, and he says it's not really uncommon, and that most babies will grow out of it. however, he taught us how to monitor and to watch for signs that cld indicate his heavy breathing may be a concern. i did not ask him about sleeping in air-con though.
i was kind of worried when a friend's mother commented that my boy must have a weak constitution which could be due to the mother... when she saw my boy breathing in his sleep. she even said he may develop asthma...
i let my boy sleep in air-con during the day, but i leave him alone in the bb room with the fan at night.

bookworm,
yes. i take the milk frm freezer to fridge so that wun take long time to warm the milk. the website provided by Pooh also mentioned that it's ok, however, i decided that may not wan 2 freeze the EBM anymore since the site mentioned that freezing will cause the loss of some nutrients in the milk

Hello mummies,

hi gals,
duno any1 experience this or not? My keane is damn smart. He can hold his cries when i beat him then start crying after i leave him. He seems to understand whenever i scolded or said him. He will cry harder n louder to show his anger and used his fists to box my face.
Just now, really make me real mad, dun finished the milk, left 60ml and dun want to sleep.
Cant imagine, i have to wake 3xs each nites just to feed him.More nightmare if he still awake n dun sleep after the feeding.
Couldnt understand why he cant sleep long.

Hi Annie
hahahha, ur boy seems very interesting!
My gal is 9 weeks and 3 days. By the way, can ur boy sit up on his own, and hold up his head? Is it that we should not be using the carrier to bring bb out, until he/she is older (4 mths old), cos it may hurt the spine and affect the meck support...
Cos i brought my bb down to the park to walk in the carrier... met my neighbour, and she went to tell my mil that i brought bb out in the carrier, and my mil came back to tell mi not to... hmmmmmm.... well, i am ignorant and the instructions on the carrier did not sae so...

yvonne du,
its ok depend on yr gal, if your gal can hold her head up and full of strength, u can let her practice like 10mins per day till she reachs 3 or 4mths.
its not the neck or spain that we afraid to hurt. I did check with my pd, according to her, its the bb lung that get affected. Cos bb's intestines, lungs n hearts are brand new and just start to function. By putting bb in the carrier, bb has to use whole strength on balancing her neck, end up "squeeze back' cos bb dun have so much strength to hold her neck all time, then lung get pressure n oxygen level decrease. (scientist d such experiement. Hehehe.. i oni noe e oxygen level drop but how to explain clearly, ehhmm.. i m v lousy. paiseh
i nvb use carrier through i got one cos keane is too heavy, i like to use pram.
Just let keane cried for an hr, now sleeping like pig. heheh.. made me real mad, dun finish his milk, leave 50ml.. he thinks his mummy so rich.

Annie,

Hi Annie,
Not sure whether u want to try to swaddle ur boy? I've tried this after advice from my LC, it seems to work. It is normal if the BB screams at first, mine always do but then after a while, he will fall asleep and will sleep longer.
Hi ladies,
I'm so happy after 2 months of trying n trying...today my Rayne finally latches on...the naughty boy wants to wait until mummy about to return to work to latch on...
Jus to check for latch on,will there be any feeling? I din have much feeling except that he is sucking...hopeful its the correct method. I'll try again tomolo..keep my fingers crossed. hopefully he will latch on again tomolo!

I'm taking care of my baby on my own since my CL left and have not been able to keep up with my 3 meals. Usually have a milo drink n chicken essence in the morning and usually skip my lunch... when it's time for dinner sometimes i dun have much appetite bcos i'm too tired. I'm just wondering if I should continue to breastfeed in this case, cos i worry my milk may not be 'good enough' for the baby. Wonder if formula might even be better? Anyone out there who is breastfeeding and having the same concern?
Today we brought bb out shopping and he was cranky the whole evening. Refuses to sleep without being carried and the moment we put him down he cries... I actually 'hardened' myself and left him crying out loud until he's so tired that he fell asleep... is tt too cruel of me? i'm tempted most of the time to pick him up when he cries for more than 30secs, but i realise i can't possibly be tied down hands and legs when i'm on my own with him on weekdays... i still feel a bit guilty over leaving him alone to cry...poor bb.

lh_jyc,
for me, i can feel some pain (feels like 'pulling') in my other breast when my boy suckles... i think he's suckling action stimulates the flow of milk. the feeling is definitely much stronger than when i express with the pump.
