hi ladies,
after Zhaohui started bottlefeeding he only drinks ard 30ml per feed 2hrly.... he used to drink 60ml during e 1st month but after tat i latch him totally only a few times bottle feeding with ard 60ml too.... is really difficult to know whether is it sufficient for him but we tried to prepare more milk but he still drinks only ard 30ml then start crying... n pushing e bottle away. maid try to pacific him then try again but he will start crying n spit e milk out
..... due to e low input his diapers seldom get wet.....
but when i latch him back at nite... with 2hr interval... he will drink n have ard 2 wet diaper at nite.....
do u all thk this is enough?? since he latch 2hrly almost throughout e nite, does tat means tat it can cover up those in e day.

helo elaine, have u tried changing the teats? my boy used to drink the same amount as urs, maybe sometimes 50ml. then he fuss and cry. when we changed from pigeon S to Y teats he starts to drink more. now he drinks up to 150ml every 3-4 hourly. diaper wet or dry is a good indication of whether he getting enough. maybe can try changing teat so he can drink more?
Talking abt changing teats, anyone still using Nuk Latex? I've changed from latex to silicone when Trinity was abt 3mths. She took to it easily. Shld hv changed earlier cos the latex gave me a lot of problems - sticky, out of shape, hard to screw in, had to replace frequently. Now so happy with the silicone!
Gals,
Really want to thank all of you who assured me and gave me advice, especially peachie with such detailed list of things that I can look out for.
Thanx a lot!
I'm feeling like a zombie today as I had to wake up almost every hourly last night. Gabriel is not sleeping well. I'm beginning to wonder if he might be teething and he is feeling pain or itch at his gums.
This morning he even tried to bite my nose and lips!

me zombie no.3... lol... luckily me home alr.. but still have so much work yet to do... sigh.....
Hey Emma, your nephew is so handsome wor !!! he should go and participate in the Toddler contest
We sure vote for him !!
Dumpty and Emoments, both of you are not alone leh!! My bb also not sleeping well recently
he slept well in the afternoon though. He will have 2 naps of 2 hours each. But at night, he does not sleep well after 2-3am (not sure is it because he sleeps at 7+ everyday ?!?).. sigh.. As we swaddle him to sleep. Often, he will break out from the swaddle and if he wakes up from the sleep, he will have difficulty in getting back to sleep himself.. He will need me to pat him and reswaddle him so that he can go back to sleep. And best part is : He does not need night feed anymore !!! so is simply sleeping problem !! haiz ... * yawn *

Hi mummies, any of you still swaddle your baby to sleep ? How do you train them to sleep without swaddle.. i saw from the web that we have to start from one arm un-swaddle, followed by the other arm .... But I tried and Cayden cant sleep well leh.. so at the end, i gave up and back to swaddle him again !!! but how long can i swaddle him .... and i dont think i can find a BIG blanket to swaddle him as he grows right.. hahaha lol..
Any advise? Thanks

if u gg to private (PD), they will give if you ask for it.
But if u gg to polyclinic, , they only give u excuse chit.
My company allows us to take flexi time off (half day or full day)to bring family members for medical appts, just need to provide original or copy of mc.
Teats
I used NUK latex for my 1st kid. Same case as u, always hav to change the teats.
When i switched to silicon, really afraid she will reject but luckily, she did not. Now she is 2 yrs+, still using silicon ones.
Now using pigeon latex teats for my 2nd one. She rejected the silicon teats leh.
Cham ah, i bought alot during pigeon sales.
gals,
**Jia you** Its mid of the week!!! Wkend is approaching!!

helo to all the zombie mummies, hang in there!
orange, i swaddled my boy till 2mths old exactly. i stopped in phases too, but i din know got webby teaching u how to ah? anyway, for us, we usually swaddle quite tight. so we started swaddling him a bit looser for a few days. i was prepared for him to wake up earlier when that happens but he didn't. then i start to swaddle his body only but leave his both arms above him. coz he always sleep like that anyway, with arms above him. then few weeks after we start i removed him totally from swaddle. very gradual change...
emoments, isit? i know there are some here who stop swaddling very early, but not sure if got hand flipping up and down prob leh. u wanna check with them? that may not be the cause.

Hi daisybuttons
oh izzit? hmm....
Sometime we find it amusing to see Dylan sitting down with the hand flipping up & down non-stop... sometimes when he sleeps also, his hand will move up & down. I will need to hold down his hand to cool him down and then pat him to sleep... else very diff for him to fall asleep.

Wait for Trinity to join the Bumbo babies. I'll try to upload her photo this evening. Can't figure out how to send from my HP to PC in the office.
She has yet to have a keen interest in her hands, only sucks a few fingers occasionally. Maybe we pull it out whenever we see her sucking. Should we let her suck her hands all she wants?
Got a question about exersaucer vs walker. Some comments that walker is not good for BBs, but I haven't had time to research the pros and cons. Any mummies here that have some input?

Ling,
Wayne sleeps till about 6am or 630am assuming his last feed is 11pm. Sometimes, good days he can sleep till 7am.
Angie,
Some did say walker not good for BB.. but I still put Wayne on walker. But he didn't like sitting in the walker. He prefers to be carried around.

haha so cute! aiyo mine also, everything goes into the mouth now. But she can't reach her toes yet. think coz she's not 4mths yet, either that or she's like me, not very flexible. hahah
Angeline
oh.... i think shd let her suck all she wants. it's actually part of the developmental process. it'll pass coz it'll go onto sucking everything else, not just the fingers so no worries about it becoming a habit. haha...

Ling,
I was just about to write about sleeping through the nite too. Ha.
Trinity has sort of settled in a routine now. For the past week, she has been going to sleep at about 10 - 11 pm and waking up at 6:30 for her morning feed. However, she last feed is kinda haywire. We don't schedule feed her every 3 hrs, we just wait for her to 'ask' for milk. She is now drinking 180ml every 3.5 - 5 hrs. Sometimes her last feed can be can range from 8 - 11pm, but regardless, she will still wake at 6:30. I try to avoid nursing her to sleep, so if she drank at 8, and falls asleep by 10:30 (only 2.5hrs) I'll let her be, cos she will refuse to drink if she is not hungry enough. I have also tried the trick to change her at 12 - 1 am and feed her another bottle, hoping she can sleep longer till 9am, but she still wakes at 6:30 to drink, so I stopped doing that. There has been a few days this week when she only drank 4 times a day, but since she is still peeing & pooing quite a bit I think she should be OK.
My apologies for being so long winded.
Mummies,
How's the arrangement for the gathering at DG's place going? I am planning to go back to SGP for the Easter holidays, anyone would like to plan a gathering for then so that I can finally have a chance to see all of you?
