michelle, thanks on info for gauze.
joon, I'll try to summarise the entire book!! LOL!!
the EASY approach basically advocates a 3 or 4 hrly routine (not schedule which requires us to look at the clock) of Eat, Activity,Sleep and You. Sounds easy, but not at all. But once followed, it becomes real easy to read bb's cues.
Say bb wakes at 7am. The EASY cycle starts then, with feeding, then some activity which includes nappy change, or bath or just play. Then put bb down for sleep, so mummies (the YOU part) get some time to ourselves.
The length of activity depends on bb's age and can last between 10 min to as long as an hr. Once bb starts to yawn, they are ready for sleep routine which the author devotes chapters to. Then when bb wakes at 10am, the cycle repeats.
It worked well with Marcus whom I started at week 6. Slept thru the night and very easy to manage during daytime. With Nicholas it has worked 70% time recently, so hopefully will work better soon. I noticed that an hr to 75 min after Nicholas woke for feed, he will start to yawn and look tired. If I don't miss that crucial sign and start his sleep routine, he will sleep well for an hr or more.. if i miss it and he becomes overly tired/stimulated, he tends to fuss a lot during naptime and won't sleep well either.

Joon and Daisybuttons,
i know, i know.... i should be in the playgroup!!! sigh.. hubby not well so have to skip today
good is that there is make up session! I hope both your hubbies enjoyed the session. Hope to see both of you next week - before christmas
Joon, i like the sleeping bag leh.. so cute. i might want to share with you hor. but is it thick? as cayden does not sleep in aircon room - somehow he does not sleep well in aircon room. sigh...
DG, ya.. i am following the same approach as you. I think typically babies tend to feel sleepy between 1-2 hours after they awake. When we catch the cues, it is quite easy to make them sleep and they tend to sleep longer too - Cayden sometimes can sleep as long as 3 hours!! But well, my cayden still cant sleep through the night leh .. probably because he goes to bed too early around 7-8pm ! hahaha
For those FTWM and without maid, how are you folks coping? i am going to start work soon.. sigh.. hubby is asking me to get a maid but i am quite relutant leh. But, i think i cant cope without one too.. as my job requires traveling and night conferences... sigh

cereal,
while you were on bz trip, you pumped and threw the milk away? I probably need to start traveling once back to work.. have no idea how to continue breastfeeding..sigh.. need to ensure the FBM is enough and also need to ensure that i pump so the ss will not drop.. gosh.. feel like telling my boss that i cannot travel.. sigh.
peachie, Clarence is sooooo smiley.. i love his smile. I hope my Cayden can be as smiley ..sigh.. he only in super good mood in the morning. as the evening approach, he will get very grumpy.

agree that we have to catch the cue real fast. This morning I latch my gal for 45mins then gave her another 50ML of EBM cos she suddenly "recall" that she has milk bottles and refuse to suck even though she is hungry ! weird !
then quickly pat her to sleep and she sleep for 3 hrs straight. woke up at 11am .. we played with her for half an hr and gave her full feed. then bathed her and I see her eyes are tired so quickly pat her. Within 2 mins she's asleep ! easy !

guess u have to come up a daily schedule so that you have some time on ur own. frankly speaking, after we start work, we will have less time with our bb. so try to talk to them prob on the car ride home and during changing of diaper.
i wash my ger and my clothes daily too. but the bulk of bb clothes are washed by my mum. every nite must still pump and sterilise all bottles to prepare for the next day. so everything must be done real fast else u wont have enough sleep.anyway u will get used to this new lifestyle v soon
and hope little rainnie has slept thru' the nite

Ya, I pumped and threw away my milk. In fact, while i was away, my Keira was on Total FM. Why, coz my breastmilk usually expensed out within a day or 2... I never ever needed to freeze my milk at all...haha..coz supply only meet 70-80% of my keira's daily needs.
Ya, it is tough for breastfeed mum to travel lor..coz if like biz trip.. it is quite bad to excuse ourselves to go and pump... like some colleagues who dun know will ask where I m.. But where work is concerned, we still hv to travel where necessary lor... hai.. think abt it, I still hv to travel in Jan, Feb and probably oso Mar...

Hi Hi...
I am back. MIA for few months liao eh?
Been struggling with feeding my princess these few days. She always cry halfway after drinking her milk. She used to love drinking her milk and would finish all in a short time. But recently, the Pigeon teats always collapse while she sucks (as in the air cannot go in and as a result, a vacuum is created inside the bottle till the teats flatten). I wonder what the problem is... I have changed from M to Y teat already but I still have the same problem. I also changed from Pigeon to Avent, but she still refuses her milk halfway.
Should I force her to finish her milk or is it because she is full already, that's why she is refusing her milk? Headache..
Btw, do you sterilise all your bottles and teats before each feed or only once a day?

seems like the babies here are very cranky nowadays... dunno if changing teats work ? anyway I din change mine.. sometimes have to carry my Rachel while she drinks, so that I can distract her and she will kuai kuai finish the milk.
prob u would like to stop for a while during feeding. talk and play with her then feed her again. dont try to force too much ... I am afraid bb will reject bottle feeding.
usually i try to accumulate as many bottles as I can before I sterilise them. After sterilising, I will keep the bottles covered and use it during feeding time. So in a day, I think I sterilise 3 times. btw I have 5 milk bottles.

ilovebabies, I have 5 bottles too! haha.. yah, and sama sama, we try to distract her but carry her around and "lecturing" her till she continues.. but it's always a struggle...
And these days my baby refuses to be carried by my maid these days. When I hold her, she's fine, but when the maid holds her, she cries till streaks of tears come rolling down her face...
What time does your baby sleep every night? Mine sleeps around 7+pm every night and then wakes up at midnight.. after that she wakes up every 2 - 3 hours for feeding..

let the maid have ur t-shirt over her shoulder while carrying ur baby. prob ur baby starts to recognise u already.

michelle, we do burp her halfway and after that, she simply refuses to continue.. sigh..
ilovebabies, you think she recognise by smell or the way I carry her? It's amazing coz once I take over she stops crying and then once I pass her to my maid or even my husband, she wails out loudly.. Heartache to see her cry and problem is I am going back to work soon, how is my maid and my mum going to pacify her without me?
My baby sleeps too early hor? I try to keep her awake longer so that she can sleep later but she gets so cranky that I have no choice but let her sleep. Anyway, I am not sure whether that's a good idea to disturb her natural sleeping pattern becoz I know some parents have problem getting their babies to sleep at night, so I don't know whether it is a good thing that she goes to bed on her own...
As for what time to sleep, I read somewhere that babies should sleep early because that's the time they grow. But if like in my case she sleeps so early, she will wake up in the middle of the night coz she has enough hours of sleep already.. from 7pm to 12/ 1am, that's 6 hours of full sleep...
Anyone has any idea what's the ideal case??

if this persist, maybe U want to call ur PD and chk ? But if Amabel is still alert and active, I guess it shld not pose a prob ?
Smiley
my gal used to have ur gal's sleeping pattern too and I was worried that I have to wake up 2 times at nite to feed her. Luckily she adjusted her timing well such that mummy can sleep for at least 6 hrs straight.
i think she recog ur smell leh. try out once ,... pass ur t shirt to ur maid and see how ! let me know ok hehe ...
so far my gal can be carried by all my family members but when she gets cranky, I will be able to pacify her easier. She stopped crying when I took over too

rainnie, ur hubby so gd, mine probably sleep like a log liao.
anyway i think having bb sleeping beside me is better. anytime he makes noise i can chk on him immediately w/o getting out of bed.
one time i let him sleep in the cot, end up i kept sit up on the bed to check on him as the cot is just right beside my bed.

sleep early is good for the baby?
oh no... think my babe is a night owl like both daddy & mummy, she sleeps at 12-1am, then wake up at 5-6am.
i suspect i am only alert to baby J's cries. i had tried setting alarm clock at 3am to pump milk but i didnt hear it at all.
wonder how i'm going to wake up to go to work

i remem amabel drank alot? seems like a big drop in milk intake. but like what edksd said, if she is still active and happy, it could be just a phase.
in any case, may just want to monitor and check with ur pd if u are still worried.

hello girls,
just came back from PD. my girl is 3 months 2 days and she is now 59cm tall and 6kg heavy. she's taking the bottle well at day and latched on directly at night. weekend, i latch her directly but i have to give her in shorter intervals b'cos all those weekdays pumping is making me engorged easily. she helps to clear my block ducts effectively.
michelle,
i hve the same questions as u too. i try to avoid getting fever due to engorgement. i tried going 6 hours without pumping but no fever, i'm not about to go more.

if ur annabel is still alert, happy n contented then prob she is not unwell, neither is she that hungry. DG has mentioned, 3/4 mths is like a huge transition for babies. they r more aware of surrounding n most of them will fuss during feedings. if u r still concern, do consult ur pd.
diana
just wanna tell u, ur pull n twist method work so well for me haha... i get this tingling sensation n wah!! let down fast n furious haha...

ilovebabies, you are super! I followed what you said just now, took off my T-shirt and pass it to my maid and BINGO! My baby calmed down and let the maid carried her.. haha! But she's still fussy when the maid tried to feed her and still cried for mummy...
Michelle, yah, I am thinking of changing to Avent teats to see if the situation improves.. Otherwise I will be so heartache if she's not gaining weight due to her "hunger strike"... I see E-Ling has the same problem as me.. My baby used to drink a lot too, in fact, if I "force" her, she still drinks 200ml of milk.. otherwise, she now only drinks 120ml.
Shirlyn, I think it's our mother instinct that get us to wake up whenever baby cries. For me, I hang a little bell on the yao lah and when baby fidgets a bit, the tinest sound from the bell can get me wide awake.

no lah .. i got this tip from Eling. She posted some advice given by the BF organisation volunteer when her Amabel reject milk bottle feeding. anyway glad that I am able to help .. hope this trick cont to work !!
i am also opting for all jabs. Will go for 2nd 6-in-1 jab and first dosage of rota virus next Sat.
read in Aug thread that one of the bb having diarrhoea now .. could be rotavirus. So refrain from bringing ur bb out to crowded places now.
My rachel has recovered from her cough already but I wont bring her out now since the weather is cooler now and there are soooo many ppl in the shopping mall for xmas shopping.

ilovebabies, hee hee.. but bb are so cute when they cry. i know it's mean but i can't help laughing sometimes... oh my nicholas has stopped crying the "ong ga ong ga" kind of ctying... that is the ultimate babyish cry!! i MISS THAT!! Nicholas went to bed at 9pm last night, after way too much stimulation at the party. He looked scared when he heard the christmas carols on the cd player at the party.... poor lil boy

michelle/joon, thanks for info on the calendula cream.
joon, u have eczema? try take oily fish like salmon and tuna. the omega 3 is very effective for curing eczema. there are some studies years ago which concluded that pple suffering from eczema tend to have a low levels of EFA in their bodies. so taking omega 3 will improve their condition. we usually don't need to take omega 6 as it is very readily available in our diet.
or you can take supplements but you have to be careful of the source. not advisable to take king mackerel and king tuna though since you are bf.

u will only get fever from engorgement if there is bacteria infection which are caused by blocked ducts, hence the accumulation of milk inside the ducts. imagine a lot of milk collected and the milk turns bad, so bacteria breeds inside the ducts.
