Hello mummies,
Thanks for yr concerns. Brought my son home from my mum's place yesterday nite, though still worry abt his condition but looking at him drinking more than normal, very happy and playful, it really soothe my mood and my worries are gone for that moment.
Since my son was at my mum's place and feeding him FM, I've since stopped BF and has been delaying the expressing time.
Any mummies who has stopped BF naturally, i.e. without taking any med, how long did it take to stop the milk?
RE: Poo
My son still poo after each feed leh... is it normal? When in hospital, the docs did ask me is it normal for him to poo so many times in a day. After the docs left, my hubby and I then start ponder if its really normal to poo after each feed??
duffybuff,
I just started using the first teeth few days ago. My son likes it alot, he keeps licking while I massage his gums. lol

kk:
the bumper mat is non-slip n very safe, very good. Yest i went Baby hyperstore, saw it selling at $119. So far ok cos my living room is very long, L shape kind, got space for e mat.
Car seat:
I went baby hyperstore bot a Maxicosi car seat at $279. its meant for 6mths onwards.
Walker:
i read that walker not good for baby's spine, not good for their back's development.
Okasan:
thats good. sigh my HB keep asking me to continue BFing beyong 6mths. i see how 1st. but i always want to stop anytime now.
Poo Poo:
I observed something. Wkdays my ger seldoms poo. Oni wkends when i latch her directly she wil poo alot. and can poo twice a day on wkends. i tink i overfed her cos every 1 to 2 hrs, i wil latch her until full. even gg out, along e car journey fr point A to point B, i wil latch her too so that shopping n outing wil be easier.

But thought they do have quite good sales for some items.
kite:

Kite,
It is really up to individuals whether they wanna use pacifier or not. For me, i dun give pacificier to my ger because it will really hinder teeth development, leading to "bugs bunny" teeth at times. And imagine, going out have to bring pacifier along. Heehee, pardon me, but i really dun like to see babies going out in their prams with pacifiers in their mouth. My colleague on the other hand say the babies look cute with their pacifiers!
Mine use fingers as pacifiers haha. Hopefully she will slowly kick off the habit. In fact it is unhygienic too. But good thing is, when my ger is out, she doesn't put her fingers into her mouth

hi msnanas,
oh u tried the toothpaste liao ah? hmm.. then i shld start trying tomorrow.. how often do u 'clean' her gums?
hi kite,
the toothpaste that msnanas & i were talking abt is meant for bb 3mths and above. it helps to clean & massage bb's gums.. there's no floride or any other chemicals involved... can help to prevent bacteria caused by milk residue.

duffybuff,
The carseat is convertible ya? Or only front facing? My colleague told me for front facing, bb must be > 9 kg. Hmmmmm, i wonder whether i should let my ger face the front now since she has somehow hit 9 kg, i guess she will enjoy it better
The stingy dad say if tonite he win 1st prize 4D, he will buy the playmat, play yard, safety gates and videocam for my ger haha!

hi kk,
ay, heehee i dunno abt the carseat cos it is a gift fm friends.. haha didn't really figure that out but we fixed it front facing.. thk it's only front facing.. based on the instructions manual. the manual states that it for bb >9mths.. but we tried putting him before we fix & he was really comfortable so we decided to fix it in the car for him.
as for the toothpaste.. it's called First Teeth toothpaste. I bought it from kiddy palace. but was really ex.. cos i realised that it's half the price in the BP... thk the BP is still on..

duffybuff,
i am also interested to buy the playmat & playyard. How much did u pay altogether? Any picture of the playyard to show? Other than the BP, is it available elsewhere?
msnanas,
my son also poos almost at each feed even at 3m+. I think that's why he's so small size. Did the PD say it's normal? Sometimes the poo is green and slimy too.

kite,
I just expressed and throw away. Too tired and lazy to sterilise the pump each time, label the milk, and warm up. Making FM is faster then warming up the milk.
To all BF mummies,
Keep it up, continue to at least 6 mths!
duffybuff/kite/spicegal/kk,
The toothpaste is for 3mths and up, so can use already.
I intend to clean his gums once every few days.
I got it from the BP, $8.50. After i ordered, then the other BPs selling at $8.
Retail selling at $19.50, so from BP its a GOOD BUY!

msnanas,
since you not giving ebm to your baby anymore, then maybe try delay pumping so u can reduce pumping sessions and gradually to no need to pump anymore?
think to stop naturally, will need abt 1 mth? I'm reducing my supply gradually now coz intend to stop when baby is 6mth old this coming end nov

kite,
did you go vivo in the end on fri night? i was there, weave through the crowd to get to nursing room to pump. but when reach there realise i didnt bring along milk storage bag so didnt pump! then wandered aimlessly around vivo, think without baby we feel a bit loss.i've always wondered when will life be back to normal, now realise the tiredness, etc etc is normal!
poo:
after eating heinz rice cereal mix with FM my boy's poo became so thick till he have to strain his face to get it out.feel so sorry for him when i see him like this.but he has been eating that once a day for 3-4 days already, so far poo normal till the last one on saturday. tried to giving him water but he push it away. so i let him latch on TBF over the weekend, hopefully it'll help.
how much water should give bb to help with poo? a few sips counted?

Good Morning!
On leave today!
Fiona just had her first hair trim... trim a bit only.... fussy and refused to keep still! Just enough hair to make the Taimaobi.
re: Poo Poo
My hub checked with a few PDs and they all say it is a bit unusual if never poo for 14 days
it could indicate that she is not taking enough milk so all are absorbed. One recommended that she takes a bit of cereal and drink more water. But i thought TBF'g dont need to drink water? And >6 mths is the recommended age to take solid? Hmmmmm..... anyway, think i will try her on a bit of cereals once my BP HT cereals is collected. Hopefully she will poo more often.

cereal is solid so helps to form bulk. just a bit will do. how much cereal yours taking? cannot take too much leh.

Fi, maybe yours takes too much that's why cant poo!
And must take a lot of water when taking cereal cos bb's digestive system needs to take time to adjust to solid food.

tinklebell,
oh oh..cause he like the cereal very much and have outgrown his tongue reflex.after cereal dont want milk and so cereal has replace a feeding!

anyone tried avent teat when mix cereal into bottle? wonder if teat size no.3 or even 4 is big enough. shall try...

Anyone used infant glycerin suppositories? PD suggested this if really serious.
Dont think i want to try this unless she is cranky.
Does Gripewater help? 4 mths plus can take Gripewater?

Morning mummies...
Fi, maybe you are giving your boy too much cereal liao...cos my mum say cereal is heaty..so for the initial stage you try to give him a little bit...then slowly increase the amount...for plain water, i normally add a bit of gripe water, put into a small bottle and let her suck twice/thrice a day...never really monitor how much she is drinking..
Tinklebell...my bb's stool has become more solid since taking grounded brown rice...her poo comes out snake-like...usually she will poo everyday...but after taking grounded brown rice...she sometimes poo once every 2 days...so I dun think cereal will help bb to poo...

Fi, my ger is using bfree bottles...when she take grounded brown rice with milk, i changed the teat to cross-cut for the thicker liquid to flow through...
Tinklebell, i gave my ger gripe water from 2nd mth onwards..

spicegal,
what's the gripewater for?to make water tastier? my mil mention 'pu tau sui' add to water to make water tastier so that bb will drink.but i dont know what that is and concern its adding sugar into water so i rather cut down the cereal intake, solve the problem at its source rather than do that.
avent's larger teat has more holes (still same size, i observe) not different shape of cut.we shouldn't be cutting the teats ourselves is it?
kite,
do you still have that article about walker and baby's spine?my boy now likes to be in walker cause its a new toy for him!his back not really strong yet so he has to use his hand on the tray for support, same for his high chair. regarding spine, thought this position would be the same as though we are carrying him in sitting position?

Fi,gripewater is 'Fei Zai Shui',i think your MIL is referring to that,its to prevent colic and reduce wind in bb's tummy, i have been adding that to plain water for my ger to consume since 2nd mth.
You can test the flow of the teat by filling it with water and watch the flow...avent larger teat has more holes but is the hole big enough for thick liquid to flow through? Bfree teats stage 3 has bigger hole but still not big enough for the grounded brown rice mixture to flow through so I bought the cross-cut teat...i feel that its unsafe to cut the teat ourselves..somehow thinking that if we did not cut properly, a portion of the teat plastic may come off and kana eaten by the bb...quite paranoid about this..
