Bloom/Choo

No way I will let my MIL take care of JT full-time lor.. actually I already told hubby, when she turns 18 mths, I'll put her in childcare. Cos that is the critical period of character development. Dun wan her to become a spoilt brat under MIL.

Starluster
Yah lor... 1st time I heard of grandma cry because the granddaughter cry..... I tot only happens to inexperienced mothers who are having postnatal blues. :p

Och
Oh dear... I think you better go and rest lah.... so many things happening at home, you must be exhausted, poor girl hugz hugz.... dun worry abt the collage 1st lah
happy.gif


Kimi
I know, that is the reason why I switched from a high pay-high stress industry to a low pay part time work mah.... But I'm so used to the fast paced work and all, I can feel my brain degenerating lor... its the sense of self-fulfilment... I know being a SAHM is also very self-fulfilling... but sometimes I think back.... struggled so hard to get degree, perform well at my job...... then now stay at home and be PT huang lian po..... but dun think I will go back to work FT anytime soon... very tempted but no....especially when I dun have a reliable caregiver... if my mum is around, I won't even have to give up my career in the 1st place.... but with my MIL... NO WAY!!

Nana
it's the 9pm show on Chn 8 on weekdays. Very funny one
happy.gif
 
dora,
it's like that lor... we have to rely on MILs to take care have to close one eye... else sure peng san...

seems like a lot of us are watching the show. me like the show too. very entertaining. tay ping hui and huang biren are vry good. like tay ping hui in this role coz not his usual solemn serious onscreen persona. quite a refreshing change for viewers.
 
nana,
YES!!!! WE R IN DANGER!!!!! let's keep reminding each other NOT 2 b huang lian po! heh heh...

dora,
v wei da leh u. as 4 brain degenerating part, i understand! sometimes i feel like my vocab's all gone n i can't even phrase my sentence properly!!! so i make myself read papers everyday lor n find some intellectually stimulating bks 2 read (but always go bk 2 YOUNG PARENTS MAGAZINES N PARENTING BKS!!!)
i tried 2 tink bk o wat i learnt in e U, cannot remember anything leh... gosh.. but i dun tink e deg is wasted lah. i chose this life lor. i told my fren hor, SAHM is my full time job liao. so i better do a jolly gd job. oso nt easy mah. we'll c e results in e long run!
happy.gif
let's just hope i dun turn into huang biren by then! heh
happy.gif


bloom,
tt's y this forum's here. to keep my sanity!
happy.gif

but no instructions on e package on how much 2 gif leh. gave her almost one teaspoon just now. intend 2 give her 3 2 feeds tmr, each feed ard 2 teaspoon. is tt alrite?
 
Dora
So funny, JT cry ur MIL also cry ahh...wat species is she? I do go out on weekdays but only to get some groceries fr downstairs lor so not really considered going out lah
happy.gif
Hah hah BTW talk abt giving up career...I gave up mine without any hesitation cos think I lazy mah...got PhD then decided dun like lecturing and pure research work so joined acc firm n become chartered accountant. Then after 5 yrs decided wanna hv bb so immediately quit job n come back to SG. Hah hah...am v happy to be hsewife n mother n not career lady. Would b v sad if I missed seeing Ewan grow up. They learn n change so fast it is amazing. Anyway wif Ewan if I let bbsitter take care of him sure die one. They will surely give him sleeping pills to make him sleep :p

Kimi
thx for blog add...will check out tmr
 
choo,
hmm...dun feel sad if u really hv to stop BM and feed ur bb wif FM loo~ honestly i feel dat the most impt thing hor, is both mama n bb are healthy. being a SAHM hor, does not mean dat all mamas must total breastfeed their bbs loo~ for instance, my sis hor neber breastfeed my nephews at all n she was SAHM dat time (not a single drip). after delivery, she immediately take medicine to stop her BM leow. if to compare hor, tik she more cham loo~ u hv tried ur very best to provide the best u can for ur bb le, dun feel guilty for giving him FM. ivan (hehe...thks to bloom's n kimi's blog, i noe ur boi's name) will understand de. furthermore hor with a healthy mama n a SAHM, ivan can get more than wat BM can give. choo, jia you~ dun sad. BM will stop eventually de, mine stopped when my boi abt 3mths. my excuse is i nid to work but i got frens who are working too and they can BF their bbs till they abt 1yrs old loo. so hor, i olso not very good mum..haha...dun feel sad or guilty if u can't totally BF ivan cos u really try ur best leow. cheer up, choo~ u got more duties for being a SAHM, BF is just part of it nia.
happy.gif


dora,
hmm...honestly hor i feel dat it's really hard to make a choice btw career n bb. it really depends on individuals. perhaps i just tell u the "excuses" for choosing either one bah~
if u choose career hor, u can tell urself dat u not only fulfilling ur own dream but olso help to support ur family financially. u can give ur bb a better life. though it's sad to part wif JT, eventually she will grow up n be independent. as long as u din fail to give the attention, care n love to her, u r still a perfect mother loo~ hmm..then for the nanny's part/ childcare centres hor, tis one abit hard to give excuses cos outsiders are outsiders, really can't expect them to really treat our bbs as their own. i olso got tis problem loo~ but hor, dora...if u really were to choose career, perhaps u can tell urself dat even if u r a SAHM, u can't really take good care of JT due to lack of experience...err...tis is wat i told myself..(bad hor??)...T.T
as for the choice of being a SAHM leh..the excuses are rather clear loo. wat so good of being a career woman whereby u may miss all the sweet n sour moments u going to hv wif JT? money is impt but u can afford to b SAHM financially or somehow u can survive financially. JT on ur hands is definitely safer on a stranger's hands. though inexperience, definitely providing the best u can. career can wait or u can start again as long as u are ready when JT is older but JT can't wait for u to grow up loo~ :p
hmm...frankly speaking on my personal choice hor, if financially my hb can support us hor, i will choose to b SAHM till my boi is much older loo~ it's really not easy to find a trustworthy nanny...haiz...listen to my nanny's story bah~~

mummies,
haiz..sien loo~ wonder whether u all rem abt my previous nanny's story...anyway, this is the 2nd part. 1st part ended dat i somehow continue to let her take care of my boi cos there's a change of her attitude when she was taking care of 3 toddlers n 1 bb (my boi).
today, haiz...i really vomit blood. dat time she suggested dat i bring my lele home every nites starting from next wk n i told her dat i will try. then today i asked her abt the extra charges if i hv to leave my boi at her place overnite for 1 or 2 days, she said,"no lah, u try take care lah. ur boi may not b able to sleep well at my place here then cos he "ren" places leow mah. btw, my charges will be high leh." then i told her dat my hb may nid to go back to penang in may (next mth nia) n i may nid her to help me to jus take care of my boi for 1 nite. she indirectly rejected n said dat i can bring my boi to my mum's place. when i asked her abt the price again, she din tell me n keep saying dat it will b high charges. really pissed me off loo~ honestly lah, how fast can my boi "ren" my place since my boi has been staying at her house for the past 2mths??...so i just keep quiet but still try to smile lah. then she asked me when i going to buy walker for my boi again. so i told her loo, i said my mum forbids me to buy cos it's bad for his spine as he's still young. then many said dat it's not very good cos bb tend to tip toes if put on walker...my nanny turned to me n said, "aiya..all bbs when trying to walk hor, all tip toes. dat boi i take care, u c? got tip toe not? at 1st, definitely will tip toe one. many aunties asked me y ur boi no walker. i said his mum no buy loo~" i controlled my anger hor n told her dat my sis olso din buy my nephew walker but he olso can walk leh. then my nanny said wif a angry tone,"no walker, how to feed ur bb porridge, how to feed him fruits?? u tell me lah? how?? feed him wif lying position ar???" i heard tis hor, i really fed up leh. worst still, she turned her back on me n watched tv. inside of me saying.."wow lau eh, xxxx #$#@$!@" really angry leh. anyway, i still smile smile loo then i go home cos my bb will be at her place tonite too loo. tmr i will b bringing him home n definitely, i will call it a day leow. tis nanny hor, can't even compromise n wat kinda attitude?? btw my next payment period for the month of may is 5 may loo~ meaning dat tmr or next monday hor, i shd pay her for the nanny fees. i tink no pt loo, pay $$ still must c her color n fit her time table. i might as well b nanny then...really make my blood boils leh...ARRR....
oh, i can't really online during office hrs now cos boss let me smell "fried cuttlefish" jor..hahha...actually she hinted to me lah. she said try not to influence new staff to surf net loo so i nid to cut down surfing net leow..tink hard to join msn chat too~
sad.gif
somehow it's a blessing too lah, at least my boss just let me smell nia not treat me to eat the "fried cuttlefish" else really can go b nanny leow..hahaha...
sorry for the long-winded story, really angry loo..nid to release abit of anger lah...pardon my bad english.
 
MBB,

u "gek" until go london anyhow spend ah? hahaha... never mind... u show me your london stuffs to "gek" me lah...

sunday is on... 2.30pm okie? I'm bring Megan coz my mom not free to take care on Sunday. Hi-tea afterwards? if you're ok, i go book liao...

kimi,

wah... u come here and tell everybody i nag at you ah? hee hee... hope today will be a better day for you... the cereal is up to you to feed.... see how much Mandy can take, just give her lor... i usually fix more but stop feeding when i see that she's about done.

doremi,
my goodness.... your nanny seems like such a b***h!!!! give her $$$ still must see her face colour?? tink you should look around for another one. It's the mummy's decision if she wants her kid in a walker... she's just helping to take care and should respect your decision.

mummies mummies...

kimi..ahaha.is there something abt premmies that make them especially picky abt food? my bbsitter was just telling me 2 days ago that kate will not eat brown rice 2 days in a row..she wants variety!

doremi..wah lau..why ur nanny so rude one... can immediately find another nanny??? i tell u lah..if really in may u need some help for ur bb for certain nights u come to my place at woodlands...i got a extra small mattress that ur bb can use but hope he wont roll onto the floor hor... (cos playpen not set up yet)....bt u have to sleep on sofa unless u dont mind sleeping with me and hb :p feed bb can use legs to 'hold' bb in sitting position mah.... my bbsitter use place kate on bb rocker to feed her...

hello mummies,

wondering if you all still rem me, I very logn din post alry.

Doremi
i saw yur post on your nanny really scare me off, she really a terrible woman. You still intend to let her continue to looka after yur bb? I also very worried of nanny issue tat why I seek PIl whether they can help look b4 i plan for 2nd one. I had no choice but to let my elder girl childcare so mil look after 2nd one.

I agreed tat walker is no good, but at time i still let my girl sit (elder girl last time) my bb now 4 mth plus i still have not start. usually mil only let her sit for a while when she busy but usually less than an hour a day.
for nanny wise i dun trust cos afterall it not their bb nor grandchild thye dun care much (sorry if i offend ppl) for pil or own parent i belive they more concern cos it their grand child after all. So best u dun buy walker for nanny she look afte so many kid where got time for individual attention.

alabone / dora
i agreed wif alabone if let IL look after really need to close 1 eye or else life very miserible. my elder girl was look after by il from birth to 2 yr b4 she go sch. durign tis period, i so stress by their funny theory and feeding her junk till i nearly go crazy. now i learn to let go and my life much more easy and happy. many ppl tell me their wont harm or food too much junk one, cos after all they look after and is thier own grandchild they dun wan them to be sick to. whenever i upset i tink of this i get better.keke...

qianhui
hope u can win the contest, good luck.

all sick mummies & bb
hope everyone get well fast.
i was oso down wif flu and cough for a week plus, weather really back

calynn,
u haf BLOG?????? where where?
 
Choo
FYI...I also stopped bfing liao even tho i m SAHM. Ewan didn't wan to latch on n I was so stressed out trying to find time to pump, concerned over what I can or cannot eat n worry abt milk ss dropping so I decided to stop. Now stop liao, quality of life wif bb improve tremendously cos I m more rested n dun hv so much cleaning n sterilising to do. Besides I dun c any difference even tho Ewan now on FM. So I think u shd not be too stressed out over whether u can tbf Ivan or not. There r other things that r more important for ur Ivan than juz BM...no 1 is a happy healthy mummy
happy.gif
Not doing tbf doesn't mean u r failure in anyway.

Jackie
Congrats...wah Jovey so fast teeth liao. Is it bottom teeth tat comes out first? So cute...show us picture leh.

Doremi
Sorry I forgot why ur mum cannot help u look after bb liao. Is it cos she is working? Luckily my mum can help me but unfortunately she also cannot handle Ewan on her own
happy.gif
V difficult boy. U better 55 change ur nanny liao...dun play play wif ur boy's life leh. Ur nanny sounds psycho!!!

Kimi, Dora
Talk abt brain degenerating...heheh...when preggie i still do lots of kakuro n crossword puzzle to maintain mental agility n keep entertained. Since discover forum n bb come out liao...no time. Plus think chat in forum n sms too much liao...cannot speak proper England or spell correctly anymore
happy.gif


Chang
Hi 5...bb is no 1 priority now rite! OK lah must admit I also got quite a lot of lazy bones in me lah...tat's why can 5 5 give up career
happy.gif
Actually hoh I think staying at home to look after bb n family is more difficult than working leh.
 
Roo13
Why u wan to change fr Mamil Gold? Juz curious cos my boy also taking Mamil Gold. Thought it suits him quite well, i.e. got no constipation. Also quite like the extra ingredients...
 
Hello mummies

Back at work today. Called MIL just now, JT drank her milk with some struggling. But at least she drank lah!! Yay!! No wonder my HP never ring
happy.gif


Last nite I discussed with hubby, think I won't go for the job liao.... cos regional position needs travelling one... altho my ex-boss say I can dun travel until JT is 1 year old when I wean her off, but not nice mah, go there and work, then cannot travel always push to other pple. Dun wan to spoil my reputation which I worked very hard to build last time. So I think I'll give it a miss, until I'm really ready to go back in full force. And I really bu4 she3 de2 JT leh.....last nite after i latched her, she gave me this contented smile... my heart totally melted.....
happy.gif


Doremi
Aiyo, your nanny is really too much. I suspect she can't cope liao that's why making life difficult for you, hoping that you will take your boy back. Quick quick fry her cuttlefish lah... if not you won't fang4 xin1 at work. Start actively looking for a nanny immediately!!

MBB
No probs. Let me know when you are back in S'pore. I will be at The Bayshore this Sun afternoon for a relative's full month celebration. Is that near your place? Actually I also dunno where is the Bayshore, only know its in the east :p

LiL
My MIL is from Outer space mah, remember? Wow you're a PhD mum ah? next time ewan sure president scholar ah
happy.gif
 
roo,
can PM me too? my fren gave me 2 cans of mamil gold leh.. i still haven't use yet.. :p

jackie,
jovey so cute.. teething liao.. my MIL suspect PH might be teething too as he seems to enjoy biting.. n seems to be in bad mood always.. :p

doremi,
think it's time to change the nanny.. so terrible one... keep stressing u..
 
doggiebb,tansl and those interested... that day went robinsons orchard during their 20% sale..also saw the kammi (and ookie too) i think selling for $29.90 before disct..so after disct also around same price... but not sure if the sale is still there...

cf..sighh...me ming4 ku3..sighh... will vent if necessary here dont worry :p heheh..u mean u all also msn at night har? i thot only during office hours? if yes , can pls add me in ? [email protected] (this is old email no longer in use liao...)..eheh pls put ur nick so taht i know who u r cos i dont accept from strangers one :p :p :p

dora just heard from my fren that rp is very pro family one..so its a good choice! do they have childcare service there for staff? if yes put jt there loh.

jackie..wahh..so fast got first tooth! congrats!

roo13, changed cos kate got eczema then polyclinic nurse and smoeone here suggest changing to nan HA which is for bb who might have allergies... changed from Nan 1 to Nan 1 HA...now hb said wana change again cos poo poo from Nan HA is very smelly and sometimes she can poo 4 times a day!

kimi, i got mine from sheng shiong... 3 trays (7 cubes each) at $1.90..one cover only per tray (not those with individual cover for each 'cubical'. heard that duno daiso or where also sell similar things... but dnot think can sterilise it....

Lil..hah..sometimes i think the only difference is that FM-fed bbs have a mommy that is more broke than a bb that is bm-fed cos FM very exp :p Maybe we should make a resolution to type proper english ni the forum :p
 
Lil,
Will try to take pic of Jovey's teeth but rather challenging ...

Shihui, Bloom,
Thank u.....Jovey like his daddy. My hubby 1st tooth appear ard 4mth plus...N hor it 2 bottom teeth at the same time
happy.gif


Doggie,
Me very tempted to get the kammi doll leh...Think, think, think 1st...
 
Dora
Ya permanent head damage mum so Ewan how to become president's scholar
happy.gif


Jackie
Errr...i also bot kammi doll for my boy...he played with it 5 mins then throw away liao. Then the doll v big so he cannot throw down on floor easily so he push it down to his legs then kick kick it down onto floor. So the kammi is good only for one thing...teach my boy problem solving skills
happy.gif


Bloom
haha agree...told my hb he lucky i BF for 3 mths cos save him a fortune liao. my boy going thru 1 large can of FM a week leh.

Roo13
Wah ur story v scary leh. Is it all fr same batch. i never notice leh...juz now i go check...dun hv that problem mah. but i notice that mamil gold powder seem to absorb liquid v easily compared to similac n friso (was using those b4) so mayb ur place damp tat's why.
 
Bloom
This place is family friendly lah, tat's why I joined in the 1st place... But I dun like the way they do things lor...but since I not looking for a career here, I close both eyes lor... got childcare service, infant care lor... but air-con leh, I still worry she get sick. Wait till she is a bit bigger 1st lah

ACtually the job that I was offered, I will get free FM leh... cos the sister company makes FM. Can get free till 6 years old. Super tempting hor?? but no lah... maybe I go ask my ex-boss next time I can still join or not when JT is older... imagine no need to pay for FM till 6 years old leh!

Kimi
I got the ice-cube trays with lid from OG, $2.90 each. Made in Japan one, and can put in hotwater.

Jackies
Wah jovey got teeth liao... 2 somemore
happy.gif
Have to start brushing his teeth liao
happy.gif
 
hi doremi,
terrible lah your nanny. taking care of 3 toddlers and a baby?? it's near impossible! just give her this coming month's pay and then stop using her. do you stay in woodlands? coz you know what? my neighbour is a babysitter. she stopped for a couple of months liao coz the one she took care of was brought back by the parents to send to nursery. if you want i can help you find out more.

jackie,
wah. your jovey even faster than my jared last time. jared had teeth only when he was 5 mths and actually that was considered early liao. yours faster. why? he can't wait to eat more food is it?? that's wat my mum said abt jared last time. hehe. very cute hor??

roo13,
no prob abt my nick.
biggrin.gif


LiL,
wah... another PhD ah?? how come our thread here got so many high flyers? Envious of you you know? can give up your job to look after your kid. i want to do that and the only supportive person is my husband. my mum said study so much then stay at home to look after kids like so lang fei. my MIL also said the same thing. i suppose in my case it is a little different, since i trust my mum and MIL to help take care. i come to work with peace of mind also. but i also lazy bones leh... if can don't work, of course don't wanna work...

i also like you... english degenerating terribly... especially now i teaching those normal academic students... wah... i kena influence negatively, not i influence them positively leh... speaking more and more like them... terrible... all the singlish and also the ah lian kind of tone...
embarrassed.gif
 
mummies

hehe thanks so much for your advices...
happy.gif
frankly speaking if i have to give up bf .i will feel very bu she de...plus i have all time at home to bf ivan so it doesn't make sense for me to give him fm..since i ald past so many hurdles from the start as during confinement nearly gave up bf.bt stubborn me perserve..

shihui, is ******67 ur msn?

Lil..ahaha..then maybe u can sell the kammi to one of the mommies here who still want it... One large tin as in 900g kind right? Kate too!, especially when she switch to Nan HA... bbsitter said she gets hungry every 2 hrs!

Dora.heheh.whats wrong with the place they do things if u dont mind telling (if not then tell me when we meet at alabone's pl)..cos i was thinking since quite near my pl..maybe if ever have no 2 i go there and rot :p wah..what company is this? Got IT positions or not :p You ice cube tray is one cover for the whole tray or individual cover for each cubicle?

alabone, jackie, actually my niece has teeth before she reaches 5 months..eheheh...

BTW, mommies feeding bb with Nan HA..how often does ur bb poo? kate can poo 1-4 times a day leh... not alot lah...but dark green and watery..but she is still active so I don't think she is dehydrated....but its 4 times a day OK or a cause for concern?
 
Jackie,

COngrats to Jovey on his first tooth!! the earliest i heard was a friend's son who has first tooth at 3mth plus! cos of this the wife gave up bf!
 
Hi Mummies

Haven't post any message for a very long time. Been trying hard to keep up with the forum since I have started work in March. Gal was down with cough and cold for the past weeks. Thank God that she has recovered already.

Choo
Hope your gynae have good news for you when you see her next. I understand y u dont want to give up bf. My sil advice me to wean off direct nursing after she is 6 months. She said more than 6 months, my gal will find it difficult. But me also bu she de also. If really decide to wean off, I will still want to continue giving her EBM. But the thought of bringing all the barang barang when going out and warming up the EBM very troublesome. Putting this off my mind for now, till mid June when starting her on semi-solid. Then again, like many mummies have said, you have done your best, dont feel bad should you need to give up

alabone
Hope you recovering well.

doremi
Better get another nanny or family/relative who can help you out temporary. Not very safe leh.

Dora
Just follow your heart if finances allowed. It is always great joy to be the first to see our bb milestone. I was so overjoyed when we caught her flip the first time on a Sunday at home. So happy that she did it at home not in the infant care.

Jackie
Wow! First tooth another milestone

Enjoy seeing the lovely babies photos and collages. The blog very updated!

Kimi/Ruffybear, what software do you use to those beautiful collages? Adobe Photoshop? Must be very time consuming

Looks like many babies have started semi-solid liao. Will only start mine when she is 6 months in mid May since she just recovered from her cough/cold.
 
Lil,
Oh so Ewan doesnt really like his kammi toy.....Hmmmm, so i better think, think n think :p

Dora,

...5 5 browse thru...

Choo, if you do not wish to stop your bf career at the same time wanna treat your condition then will just have to give FM for the period of time to your boy, during that period you just pump and throw to maintain supply. Like what some of the ladies here have said, BF is not everything, more important is your health also as you are the main caregiver for you boy. Some of the antibiotics are actually safe for BF, you may wanna check with your doc again. I continue to bf my bbs when i was on entomycin and amoxycilin after delivery. Pai sei dunno the actually spelling.

Lil, you so highly qualified. Very wei da to give up your career after getting a PHD.

Dora, if MIL take care have to close one eye or sometimes even both eyes...then sometimes hubby may be sandwiched between you and MIL if anything you are not happy with her caretaking. I used similar ice cube trays before but cracked easily so have to improvise that time.
 
Alabone
heh heh...I also always tot ur nickname was bao yu. Sorry sorry hah. Wah u also teacher ahh...got so many wei da teacher mummies here. Wish I can also teach but hoh I v impatient leh. At least now got bb already improve slightly.
Haiyo dun envy me leh...now I m SAHM n money parasite. My mum now n again will tell me that I lang fei cos study so much then dun wanna work. Somemore b4, I work in UK n pay was v high so she always ask me if i regret resigning n coming back. But hoh if I dun come back v difficult to hv bb there juz me n hb alone. Then now got bao bei bb where got regret rite. In fact I v happily cho boh at home everyday, juz spend time wif bb
happy.gif
Consider myself v lucky lor. U also lucky leh got MIL n mum u can trust to look after ur kids. My MIL har, haiyo she offer to take care of my bb for me...no way man, tho she is nice person, she is uneducated n cannot speak any english. Then she also so old fashion won't do attachment parenting one lar, will just let bb cry. Last time my hb 3 yrs old only can speak leh. How can I trust my boy to her. My mum is v good wif bb but her body ache here ache there so she also can't handle bb herself. Bbsitter was never an option for me so I hv to be SAHM loh. Besides hb always travelling so bb need to hv at least one parent who is there all the time. Sigh...long story lah. But honestly I find being SAHM more difficult than working cos 24/7 on duty one. On difficult days really feel like going back to work.

Dora
Wah free FM for 6 yrs ahh...hmm at the rate my boy is drinking $30*52*6 > $9000. OK lah...dun really save tat much. Better to look after JT urself.
 
Jackie, Bloom
Hah. hah... dun think other mummies will want my boy's kammi... smelly smelly already cos I will take it n stuff it in his mouth :p Actually I was quite greedy lor...immediately bot two, one pink, one blue, should hv known with my boy nothing captures his attention longer than 5 mins except for flashcards.
 
Lil,

thanks!
happy.gif
i just wanted the best for ivan n bf is the minimum ting i can do since it's easy n free
happy.gif
btw i want to ask u long ago your shop at imm do you mean u sell the shop to someone?

Diana/QSG,

thanks very much for your advices! felt so much now!!
happy.gif
yes..i must be in good health in order to take good care of ivan...but just tat i am a very stubborn mummy...i didnt want the easier way to give fm to ivan as i know alot of benefits of bm to both mummy n bb... haha if no urgency maybe i delay till ivan one year old?!
happy.gif
no lah.i will see wat my gynae said,.apparently tat time the one day antibiotic didnt work for me leh...

also one reason why i perseve in bf is i dun want anyone to snatch ivan from me..that person apparently is my MIL hehe cos if i give fm then she has al the right to grab hold of ivan n help me bottle feed him...i dun want tis to happen...

i got good news to share tis sun i dun need to go up to my MIL hse as she having a flu n lost her voice!! not tat i happy she sick (of cos not lah.though i dun like her) so i can spend the whole day at my parents hse!!
happy.gif


I understand if bb take care by own mum or mil got to really close one eye..own mum easier talk to bt the mil realy ah...sigh....my mil tat time talk so loud want take care ivan when he turns one year old..then now she dun want cos she prefer working cos of the money...HENG man!!my hubby is already quite spoilt by her .i dun want ivan to be like tat too
