pups,
My boy don't mind the carseat, maybe b'cos sometimes he feels so uncomfy with my carrying him so putting him down makes him more happy. Hahaha. Then again, there are times when he fusses in his carseat, not bcos he doesn't like it, but bcos of other reasons - hot, hungry, sleepy but cannot sleep, etc. I guess partly bcos he's gotten rather used to the idea of the carseat as I put him in there everyday for the past 1.5mths when I send the HB to/fro the MRT station, and sometimes I take him for long drives too.

hi leia
got your PM. i see... hey i'm keen on being a teacher, PM you to ask some stuff later when i'm more free.
i do the same thing as u, drop hubby at mrt station then drive to my moms plc, about 15min drive, he was always ok until lately, think its cos he's becoming more active and he hates the constraints of the seat belt, v stressful when im driving alone. sigh.

Hi Sorry no time to drop a note here coz bz with Jay. Yes, he's back at home now but still lao sai 4 times today. But I gave him 2 feeds porridge (4OZ each at 1pm and 3pm) the diarrhea stop and I gave BM at 5pm and now he diarrhea again. ai. . . maybe I shall just stop the BM. But hor, cant just drink the porridge water for all feeds right? will observe more and see wat to do next. But I am very tired le.
My baby sitter just quit without giving me notice, eg today tell me and tomolo she din come liao. So if I go back to work on Wed, will left my maid oni to take care of Jay. On the other hand, I was told my boss not happy I taking so many days leave when Jay sick these few days. ai. . . I am thinking to quit my job liao. getting more and more tempted liao.
Although my savings should be more than enough for me to not work for few years, but it will be a big move for my to be a SAHM coz dunno if I can handle or not. Also, dunno if I can get used to the life without income? I just dun feel comfortable/secured surviving on savings lo. Very luan le. Any advice?

hi cocomo
so glad to hear jay is much much better. also can imagine how exhausted you are. alamak babysitter not reliable hor ...
about being SAHM, i know exactly how u feel, i also don feel comfortable living on savings, and like my hubby say can spend can spend, but its i jus don feel good spending.
as my project ends end this year, i'm also in the process of becoming an SAHM. i think it is more tiring looking after baby compared to working seriously. but at the same time, i just can't trust a maid/babysitter with baby, won feel at ease. and if i do have a full time job, i'm sure i will perform badly as i'm constantly thinking of baby n being home.
its vvvv hard initially, but i've cut down on my expenditures a lot, and only buy baby the absolute necessaries.
altho sometimes i really wish i can buy leon more stuff, and indulge in my own shopping, i think the rewards of being with baby are better. especially cos i love bfeeding bb and letting him latch onto me, i really think being a SAHM till baby is older is v good.
it is a v personal decision ....
ehh, sorry dunno if my sharing helps. but what i'm trying to say is, from my experience, it's a bold step but worth it.

hi cocomo,
relieved to hear that jay's better. did the dr. say anything abt his condition and how u can help jay? perhaps besides porridge, u can try making some puree for him.
if ur savings permit u to be a sahm, why dun u give it some thought? however, if u are worried abt living on ur savings, u might want to consider part-time job. I'll be thinking abt abt this option once I finish my bond.

Hi cocomo
Great to hear that ur bb is alright. I brought my ger to kk last sunday as well for diarrhea. She lao sai 10 over times over the weekend. Even now, after medication she still poo poos for ard 7 times yesterday. I guess it probably takes a week or so. Just got to be careful that bb is not dehyrated, no fever, no restless. And is still active.
I tried to switch my FM to those lactose free FM, but it taste terrible and my ger rejected. So no choice, still continue feeding her with FM but more diluted.
I so envy those SAHM. Personally i feel that the first few years with bb is the most pecious. U will be the first one to see bb's movement e.g. flipping, crawling, start on semi-solid foods expression etc...

Hi Cocomo,
My gal also had a bout of diarrhoea two days ago, about 9 times within 24 hours.PD advises TBF and cut formula, (I was supplementing with NAN HA). Apparently there is good antigen in BM that stops diarrhoea. Happy to say she has stopped purging since TBF. I think TBF is better.
BTW, I am also an aug mom , my Tegan is borned on 12th Aug 06. I have been a silent follower of this thread

Cocomo,
Glad jayden is home. Hope he recovers soon. What did the pd suggest? Think the best person to ask is yr pd? Just curious. when you said you fed he bm, is it direct latched on or expressed milk? Does jayden get diarrhoea from drinking expressed milk or direct latched on?
Kelly,
Have you realli thought thru carefully......????

Hi Foonny,
Normally menses will come after u stopped BF 6-8weeks. It all depends. Some may have regulary some may not. If u practise protected sex den not a worry too.. hormones needs to get adjusted after a year of NO MENSES!
Mummies,
I been dropping hair frm e start of 3mth plus. Esp Bathing. So dread of washing my hair or even comb! ESP my hairs are scattered ard the floor. Its all HORMONES again.. Dono when it will be beta. Some say may last for a year & I have done rebonding! Well no doubt how much hair control shampoo o conditioner or tonic also no use.. must let it go away naturally liao.

hi cocomo,
really glad to hear that jay's better. i wouldn't encourage you to stop breastfeeding, but rather put it on hold for the time being. since suspected is he's lactose intolerance, then have to start from total abstaining of all dairy products eg. milk, cakes etc from your diet, like i've mentioned before it'll take 2 weeks for your system to clear up, just an advice but up to you to decide.
just sharing my experience in regards to being a SAHM...i would say it's not as tiring. whenever i come home from working part time, i felt really tired and find that there's really not enough time left to interact with my baby. even my gal felt the tension, she's more cranky if i work for a full day...

Hi all,
How to make baby sleep thru the night? My boy still wakeup midnite, very tiring. He sleep abt 11.30pm or 12am, wakeup at 3 something to eat, 6am++ wakeup again.
I found that my boy sleep very less, daytime sleep about 3-4 times, everytime abt 30mins, the longest 1hr only.
Night sleep at 11.30-12am, wakeup 8-9am morning.
Any method can make him sleep earlier or longer? and sleep thru nite..My dark circles eyes very serious now, go to beauty center also helpless

Hi Mummies,
Jay still diarrhea le, but less frequent liao. ytday poo 7 times (pasty + waterly). Went to PD ytday, she said still continue BM, I can try to give soy milk but limited to twice a day only coz she said soy milk helps on female hormone so no good for baby boy to take. She dun encourage for long term. I will try give him tonight as I started to work today and dun trust my maid to make the soy milk.
Reg my babysitter, I dun talk to her nowadays as I think she was irresponsible, say quit then quit without even giving me notice and quit when my boy was sick! Then today she dare to ask my hb to ask me dun face black black when see her coz we all neighbour. How can I not face black black? She makes my life so miserable now!!
As for SAHM, thanks mummies for sharing your thoughts and experience. I am still struggling on decision. Very tempted to quit but then even hubby dun agree coz he dun feel comfotable with single income. My sis also said wasted if quit coz now the salary not bad, job quite eng and can go back on the dot type, later wanna find such a job bit difficult lo. On the other hand I worry abt Jay at home with maid! My hubby said just let my maid try for sometime if really cannot then I quit lo, lucky I installed cameras so at least can monitor from office.
Pups,
My boss din mention a word to me today but I heard from his PA that he's not happy I taken so many days leave while my boy not feeling well lo. Ai. . . difficult hor. Dun take leave cannot, take liao also boss not happy.
Jasmine/Diana/Kelly/Erin,
Yo, same as foony, I also dunno what's the ice cube tray for le? erin you mentioned that I can try to make Jay puree. . .eh. . . how huh? Soli la, me blur, first time mum. That's why I find my Jay very poor thing, have me blur blur one as mom.

not all mummies used pureed frozen food cubes (be it veg or fruits). if u do read books, pick up tis book "super baby food". i cant recall who e author is but tis book is very popular & highly recommended for introducing solids 2 bbs.
e website which erin provided is also gd for picking up a lot of info. do check it out.
