mummies,
I so upset. My hubby says breastfeeding in my living room degrade my status and make a cheap person. Therefore, my maid now treat me with attitude problem becoz i feed in front of her, hence lowering my status...... Sob Sob Sob...
Mummies who still breastfeed, do you feed in the room with closed door..... i have to resort to that from now on.....

dun be upset k? cos ur emotions can pass thru ur BM to ur bb. personally if it's me i will make my stand clear, BFing anywhere does not degrade one's status nor make one a cheap person! u must earn ur hubby's respect on this, it's ur own home! command respect in front of ur maid as well, dun let her treat u with attitude cos there's nothing degrading about it. but if u give in n BF with closed door, it will only show them dat u agree with their thinking.
i only BF in my room if there are other male relatives around

i meant i dun BF openly in living room when there are male family members or relatives around, but if it's only ur hubby n maid shld be ok wat.
in fact when my MIL came over my place to stay during my confinement, i even ask my hubby can my FIL dun come over as well if not i have to stay in bedroom to BF. i thought piority shld be given to me lor cos my FIL only sit in living room n watch tv whole day wat, he stays at his own hm also can watch lor. my hubby actually asked his mum but too bad my MIL say nobody cook for my FIL lor.

Kin - My hubby dislike me to BF in the living room too...maybe coz there's other ppl in the house other than him... coz he quite "bao shou" one. Initially he also dislike me to BF in the car, but he has no choice coz BB fuss in the car and wanna drink...but i think it's ok.. coz he has the Vkool sticker on (it's dark) and think can hardly see when he's driving. Anyway, its not like I'm naked loh....majority of my bodyparts are still covered what...
Baby E turn 4mths today. So excited to start him on brown rice.

Mummies,
Bfing in Public is nothing wrong. And come on wats the century now? Think still like last time our parents or grandparents time izit?
Dun let ur emotions get the better of u, do wat u think is right. Wat ppl 1 2 comment, thats their problem. We all know we are giving the best to our baby.

I also bf in living room. Its ur home, so dun need to feel so constrained in our own lovenest rite ? To me, there's nothing sexual abt bf,its a wonderful time to get upclose n personal with our bb.
My whole family is used to it, even my father is ok with it though initially he's abit paiseh but after some time also bochap liao..haha..
As for maid, what we have, they also have wat, so dun tink our maid will b interested to see our 'assets' during bf rite ? so all the more shdnt bother them n degrade ur status wat....Cheer up k?

I fed my boy frisocream just now. He likes it! But i made the cereal diluted, slightly thicker than milk. Initially, he had problem swallowing it when i put him in a high chair. Then my mum asked me to put him the cot at a half sitting/lying position and feed him. She was right. After that, he swallowed all the cereal and kept making the impatient sound when i was slow in putting the sppon in his mouth. Guess what? He finished the cereal faster than the milk. My hands were so tired becos i have to be really fast in feeding him.

Hi OC,
Great thoughts for sharing! Initially, I get very fed-up when my baby keeps waking up and hope she can sleep though like adults. But I come to realisation that this is part and parcel of motherhood and like what you said, when they grow up and become indpt, we may just miss all these special moments.

Hi mummies,
I dun BF at all. But during confinement, I still experience engorgement & pains, so need to masaage & express out. I did it in my room, but my confinement lady like to walk in & out. I feel paisey, but CL dun think anything about it at all. So I guess sometimes, it's our own thinking lor, cos other ppl might not even think it's a big matter.

Hi Yenny,
Wah...so instead of putting bb on cot, can put in rocker or infant carseat to feed them? Was thinking of using milk bottle to feed instead of spoon leh...might be easier?

Hi Jul04,
I'm the Daddy, but my DW shares the ID as well. I have changed our ID name to better reflect that.
Re PD, we have decided to stop seeing him. Feels that he's not too good. Judgement is based on before delivery experience to seeing him for 2 over months after birth.

My mistake, not cot but pram. Yeah, rocker or car seat oso can. My mum oso ask me to put in milk bottle but I wan to train him to swallow better so spoon feeding in a upright position will be better.

When i was on confinement, I breastfeed and pump milk in front of my confinement lady in the sitting room.

Hi mummies,
sorry for MIA!! Hi yah.....i always thought i was a militant bf mum... i even dare bf in public. but in fact, those close to me don't agree. It is quite sad becoz i think they feel even more paiseh than me... In fact, i bf with bf clothing on some more.. when will society learn that bf is not isolated to a certain gp of people.For the past one day, i bf in my room.... sian.... i guess it is the culture they bring over from their own family. so conservative.... i've to live with it. My MIL will come close close and look at me pumping or even better still, look closely....... must be thinking, so small, enuf milk?????(better not get to details, there are daddies here...)

Very busy last few days.. very tired. eyes droppy now.
Read the thread on breastfeeding on public. I did it everywhere, coffee bean, NYDC, etc.. of course with a cloth (those diaper cloth) drap across my should and cover myself properly lar. If people look at me I just look back lor.. Anyway, I never look at people or think if other people are looking at me. I just drink my hot choco, eat cake and let my baby enjoy his milk. My mentally is that my baby needs to eat and it's a natural instinct. I also breastfeed openly even when my MIL came to visit baby last time when I still on maternity leave. All "niu ren" wat.
I dun know what my hubby thinks about this as I never seek his opinion. I just do it.. Even in office I just tell people I'm breastfeeding and need to pump milk so that I can get a room to pump milk.
Agree with PM, most of the time it's our own thinking.

Regarding breastfeeding in public.. duno leh.. i still dont dare to breastfeed in front of my mil. only dare to breastfeed in front of my mum and husband. but quite ironically, i can breastfeed in front of the nurses in hospital.
ya.. these days my gal keeps flipping till like..she's face down, one hand and one leg will be dangling outside the cot and she'll be struggling to 'free herself'. ever since she knows how to flip, whenever she wakes up, the first thing she'll do is flip.
and ya..finally, it's the weekend!
Yeah! but think i might start to have monday blues tomorrow liao. hahahah.

What is WRONG with Breastfeeding be it at home living room or in the public. You mummies are scarificing everything just to give the best to the babies yet these utter rubbish and nonsense that surrounding ppl are giving you. ASK THEM TO WAKE UP THEIR IDEA.
Kin,
There is TOTALLY nothing to be ashame of. In fact, those daddies that are not supportive and not helping in any way should be ashame of themselves instead.

Hi all mommies,
It's been a while since I log on.
My milk supply is really low lately. After many hours of not expressing my milk because of work, only managed to get 100ml. Sigh....
Anyway, any mommies using the baby oil called Minyak Telon? It is really good. If anyone is interested, there is a BP going on.

Here's a pix of Baby Kaylyn in her swimming costume. Too bad heavy rain today, so no chance to go swimming..sob..sob..
Hi mummies,
Brought my boy for his 2nd 5-in-1 jab. He's very brave 2day, didn't cry at all! Still a very lightweight boy (6.2kg & 61cm) -- nurse say it's 50th percentile. Maybe his bones are very light, cos most people tell me he doesn't look very small. Anyway, I have decided that the most impt thing is that he's still so happy & active!
Oh, I checked with the nurse on feeding paracetamol to pre-empt fever. It's not advisable as it may bring the body temp down and cause hypothermia (dunno how to spell it) instead..

hello mummies.. so sad... am taking care of my elder gal who is ill, and baby Germayn alone. Then my elder gal(lycia) is having very bad cough and runny nose. alot of phlegm. then she kept crying, then baby gal cannot slp also.. disturbed by the noise. then i'm feeling so pek chek but can't scold them. now it's finally quiet for awhile, but i think soon they'll be crying again.. and while they're quiet. im here typing and pumping milk at the same time cos im engorged. how pathetic...
then my mil offered to take care of my gal tonight while i take my boy and baby. she told me cos she knows tt my gal will be very cranky and baby will be disturbed and both of them wil be awake together. then, the next moment, everyone disappeared into their rooms, only left with the 3 of us. haha.

Yenny,
I hope your baby is ok. I put my boy on the mattress yesterday night...he used his legs to push imself upwards and upwards and then onto the floor....I did not realised it until he cried. Quickly picked him up and he smiled...aiyo.
Lucida,
my boy also did not poo for about 3 days....he was on partial BM and FM, then yesterday night he poo...what a relief for me...I think for him as well...hee hee
BTW, is it better to start with rice cereal or beown rice first? I am afraid if I buy both, then it will be too much lor. Why is "Y" cut for the teat? Avent brand?

Thanks Lucida and Zita... my older gal's turning 2 yrs old next month... their age diff is abt 19mths. i was basically singing the whole of ytd night.. cos my elder gal was coughing so badly she kept waking up. then had to be super patient with her else she'll be upset and angry... then kept singing her fav song to her.
actually, duno leh.. i feel tt if i can start all over again, i'll wanna get married, then spend 2 yrs er4 ren2 shi4 jie4 first, then have one kid, and close shop. hahaha. think this was my husband's plan initially, but well... it's abit bad to say this now though.. cos got 3 kids liao then say i hope to have only one.. like so mean. And ya, really have to give up alot of things... company d&d can't go..unless my mum can come over to help out.. can't go out alone.. must bring at least one of the kids out. no more late nights out. no more movies. no more ktvs.
YB, baby kaylyn looks alot alot like you. hehe.
