happy.gif
 
hi afcai,
like starluster said, i use thermo lunch jar to store jav porridge when we r outside. it can keep warm for 3 to 4hrs.

hi dora,
hope u feel alright now. actually 2 weeks bk when we came home from my parents hse, jav also refuse to sleep n wanna to play. The more he played, the more energetic he gotten. we try all means to let him fell asleep but failed. end up fell asleep on my arms around 1plus in the morning after crying for awhile. luckily happened only once. *touch wood*
 
me have been coughing for a wk liao..so sian...

bobianah
oic. hmm think Hannah is more outgoing type unlike my tx loh.

starluster
long time never seen u on the forum. busy?? how's sophia?
hmm thermal lunch jar where to buy, is it expensive. i got a food warmer(free gift fr brands when buying the brand essence chicken) but it cannot keep warm for more than 2hr one.


Dora
hmm..JT so active man...must meet her one of the day with bb tx.

<quote>
A self-enforced breather when you're feeling frustrated can help you stay on an even keel.

Put your baby in a playpen for short periods of time when you're feeling overwhelmed. This is also a good idea if persistent, unexplained crying in a
healthy baby is getting to you your baby will be safe while you collect yourself. If he's crying at night, compose yourself for a few minutes
before going in to see what's the matter. Taking a few deep breaths or counting to ten before responding to a mishap are other ways you can
maintain equilibrium on bad days. Also borrow a page from the newborn days: Once in a while, sleep when your baby sleeps.
And of course, call on your partner to take over not just when the going gets tough, but at regular intervals.

<end>

err..tx ai-yo, she is not that active but only impatient, will scream when she can't get what she want. of cos, cannot let her have her way loh.
she dun want to latch on (last time I tried is during Jun period), she just place nipple in her mouth and then bite man...after that dun seem interested in sucking, look here and there, sweating so much.
so I dun latch on her loh.

gd that JT still want to latch on.

when dinner time, u also give JT cereal when outside?

Jen
wow, long time never seen u here liao.I only eat crabs once only.

wow selinna slp so late, never establish a fixed sleeping routine for her since young? then u must be tired then cos next day still need to get up to work.

hmm so u bring hm selinna daily?? tx's teeth has not grown completely, only can see little portion of white thing, when touch it, it is sharp.
my frenz told me I dun have enough calcium so my bb grow teeth slower, dunno how true leh. my frenz when preggie that time, she consume calcium tablets, her bb boy grew teeth when he is 4 mth. so by 8 mth already have 4 teeths.


bb tx dun want her papa to carry. when papa want hug her, she struggle and quickly hold onto my shirt tightly. when force to hug her, she scream with legs kick.


LiL
for the flash card, i only get to see bb tx full day on sat and sun only. normally, weekdays, she will be at my mum'plc and I only get to see her after work when I delivered ebm. dun seem to be effective if I dun consistently flash at least 3 times a day as advice by my col.
 
hi mummies,
recently jav learnt a new word "ah ba, ah ba"..
he used to errhh errhh whenever i sing songs to him. Now he goes "ah ba, ah ba" when i sing songs. Even if he chat to himself, he also "ah ba, ah ba". my mil says he calling daddy now.. n veri excited tat his 1st word is daddy. haha.. buay tahan her. like tat also count as his 1st word. then my boi 1st word should be mummy already. coz whether he wanna mi to carry him when he gets sleepy, he will cry "e mi, e mi".
 
serene,
hmm..tx always utter 'ma ma ma' when want attention, huggies or cry for pity loh. hai..my mum said, she called 'ma" (ah ma) - like real man...hai...dun bu ta han her always like to gain credit...anyway, we just kept quiet.

now, tx knows how to clap, wave and 'pen kiss" (but cannot lift her hand away fr mouth, place her palm on her mouth only).

do jav only want mumy (u) to hug hug but not so close to daddy?

Jen,
PH's bedtime oso 12am... aiyo... so tiring leh... if he can sleep b4 12am, it will be a miracle liao.. :p
 
afcai, next time when u go out...go out with other mommies, so that when u forget to bring something, can borrow from them :p from then on ..slowly figure out what are the necessary things u need to bring and what to do in different scenarios (eg, bf in public) ...have fun! for me, one big challenge is whether to bring stroller or not ! :p morale of the story re failed hdd... backup backup backup! i also consume calcium tablets when i was pregnant but kate's teeth only come out during the 9th month.... ur hb alot of -ve vibes so tx is scared?

sylk..eheheh.ur neighhours looks like regina's size leh :p

bobianah, ur fren is BOLD! i think and i think and i surf net and do research and i got chicken out.. i think.w.ho will take care of kate when i am recovering ? :p

dora, another SAHM go bersek! Not laughing at u har..but its really really a tough job.... go do some retail therapy? so what had ur PT cleaner been doing?

mommies, someone mention i-play swim disposable diaper selling at $5+ at the taka bb fair leh..anyone going???

Lil, how did u change ur parenting style?

Lil, bobianah, go to http://www.flowerpod.com.sg/forums/index.php?s=10db232e20632f45825c29ee86c91afc&showtopic=2763 for a 60+ pages posting abt pp talking abt lasik...

starluster..ahahah..hi sofierce's mommy :p

gan, speaking abt yogurt..i am wondering whats the difference between bb yogurt and adult yogurt? cos if we are making our own yogurt is it suitable for bb? and how long can it lasts?

serene yes! jav's first word is calling u! cos usually when bb calls for their mommy they call them AH MEE (as in ma MEE) first....

shihui, for rental of toys, checkout CF's new website (helping to promote) :p

jen, shihui..wah...midnight! i think i will die if kate sleeps at midnight everyday!

happy.gif
there was an article on yest's papers saying e percentage o FAT SAHMS is higher than fat FTWM cos we tend to eat more n exercise less.
uhoh.gif

happy.gif


Roo
Hahaha...shd be lunch hoh. Silly me. Good can go then. So that means u taking 1/2 day off?

Afcai
Ya must flash frequently n consistently in order to see some results. Think the flashing part is ok, it's the preparation that takes time.

Shihui
U going on the 7th? We can compare c who's bb more ham pau. Mine also little bit scared one...v sensitive to sound/noise...sometimes we laugh abit loudly he also scared
happy.gif


Bloom
Haiz...Used to rock n pat E to sleep, habit started by Ah Mah lor. Then Ah Mah cannot tahan E cry, ehh ehh little bit nia will carry. Tell her dun do that she become sensitive so used to just let her b lor. THen now she is going home to KL for sometime. I told her how I need to change things else I wun b able to cope. Finally she agreed. Nowadays I just let E play in the cot until sleepy n he will sleep himself without any patting. Then also try to stop giving him pacifier. Then try not to carry him immediately when he starts to call for attention. Just talk to him nia. Then sometimes at nite Ah Mah go inside room earlier. E dun c Ah Mah, wow, so much more guai

hi mummies,

no time didnt post liao... I am counting down to the days to go back to work..just 3more mths to go...

Ivan's upper bunny teeth is out liao...tat could be the reason why he has been very cranky past 1mth...he doesnt nap in his own cot unless we carry him in our arms...but we dont want to make it a habit..till now he still dun nap well in the day..as a result ..nite time he can wake up four to five times...his eye bags are red red now...cant sleep...cant grow well...

Dora.

*Sayang* i know how u feel...i have been thru this...Ivan kept wake up ,nurse liao n dun want get back to sleep...tried patting him etc also no use..this made me very frustrated n screamed..then hubby also came over n bring him over to sleep with him..i felt so lousy ...

I dun even know when he can sleep thru the nite...

Sept is coming ...tink there are several mummies whose birthday falls in Sept...QH is on 8th Sept...jackie n Gan's on 18th Sept..Och..think yrs on 5th Sept? I have pre ordered a tiramisu cake from Vanessa on 16 Sept!! cant wait to try since I have heard so much good comment on it!
happy.gif
 
Hello mummies

Thanks for your kind words. I'm ok liao.... yah hubby is very sweet, kept asking me to go out. But I felt so guilty at losing my temper at JT, I bu she de leave her at home, so in the end, all 3 of us went out for lunch, and I came home to take a short nap.... but couldn't really sleep also lah cos keep hearing JT go "eh eh eh"....
I think I know why I couldn't control myself this time. JT has previously woken up many times a night for periods of time. I used to have no problem with that. Then now, she has been refusing to eat for the pass 1 mth. Tue was the last straw when she started to shake her head vigouroulsly during her meal times, which made feeding her not only challenging, it was impossible. I know she is teething lah, but spending 2 hours a day trying to coax her to eat is really very tiring physically and mentally. I was very particular that she take her afternoon nap if not she will be even more difficult to feed when she is tired. I thinkit all boils down to her feeding problem. And on top of that, hubby has been so busy with his work, he has been working on his laptop til midnight everyday. So communication with him became minimal during dinner time. So I have not much adult interaction also. And on top of that, it has been raining like crazy.... last time whenever I feel moody, I'll just bring JT out then I'll feel better. But it has been raining non-stop so I felt trapped in my own house with a cranky baby. But now ok lah.... I feel much better after the outburst.... but can't do it too often if not lose the effect on hubby. He was stunned cos he has never seen me like this before.

Kimi,
I was more drama than that. I covered my head with the blanket and started screaming... :p


Bloom
The PT cleaner has been scrubbing the ultra dirty bathrooms, clean the fan, scrub the ultra dirty kitchen, and the usual mopping and vacuum, and cleaning JT's play yard.

JT has also started calling "dadada bababa" but hubby is not impressed cos he says JT is calling that indiscriminatingly.... she even calls her cookie monster "baba"....I say he siao lor... she is only officially 8mths tomorrow, what does he expect wor...
 
zion goh

dora,
wah! not bad, u still noe how 2 cover urself to mute e noise. sigh... i've been thru tt b4. feeding prob... WAHHHHH! nearly drove me nuts too! I oso cried... i felt like all i did e whole day was 2 make her eat, then wash... then cox her when she cries.. then feed, wash, coax etc etc. even when she fell asleep i cld nt rest cos she'd inevitably wake up crying! n yah, tensed e whole time... cos 1 wrong move wld result in her nt eating... dun eat then cannot sleep, then cannot eat THEN cannot sleep... ahhhhhhh.... but it's ok 4 me now. so hang in there!
happy.gif


re: sept outing

can we go globetrotters? i can only travel bt mrt. if e location is far away fr mrt then i wld gif e gathering a miss.
 
afcai,
yup.. been kinda bz + not feeling well, plus hubby not around to help out. those thermal lunch jar can be found at most dept stores - isetan, metro, taka etc etc. i bought mine during sale, cost $40++ (i think). a couple of months ago, sometimes sophia cry "ma ma", and my mum oso says sophia calling her. but nvm lor. i read somewhere "b" and "m" syllable (or isit "p"?? *forgot*) is the easiest for bb to pronounce. so that is why she called out ma ma... not really coz she is calling ah ma :p *haha.. me just being sour grapes*

i rather think that her first word is "ah choo" coz my hubby got sinus rhinitis problem...everyday oso hear him sneezing (very loudly) that sometimes she got shock.. so everytime we will tell her.. daddy ah choo, don't need to be frighten.. then repeat the ah choo a few times...so sometimes she will imitate us and say "ah choo". very cute! but can't catch it on cam lei... coz when cam on standby she dont wanna say. hrmphh!

shihui, lil,
my gal oso very sensitive to loud noises... everytime we let the ball roll and drop (one of FP toys) she will quickly turn n cling to us. even to drop those shape sorters, she will cling to us. scaredy cat but yet chor lor.

choo,
yeah.. i remembered your bday coz same day as my hubby! i tot babies still need 2 naps a day - 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon? but its very hard to get my gal to nap oso. when i go back n see my mum so pekcheck, i know its either coz sophia doesnt wanna drink or doesnt wanna nap!

i havent been pumping for 3 days liao.. and now feeling pain in my breast, like blocked duct like that.. for the last few weeks have been pumping once a day...sometimes 2 days once.. and the amt like 20~30ml only.. thot can forgo it totally. mummies who stop expressing... how did u do it?? endure the pain or still express it out?
 
bobianah,
thnx for replying me... my EDD was 12Dec but my baby boy Ethan came on 8Dec... very active now... think can join the so called active baby contest u all have...

starluster,
i endured the pain, tot will gradually stop... the pain went away after 4 days but there is still drips now n then... got the pill frm doc in the end n cost me $30+ for 2 pills... so ex...
 
hi choo, good to hear from you.
happy.gif
happy b'day to you and all other mummies of sept!

hi zion. its such a coincidence that Ethan is born on the same day as afcai's tx, bobianah's hannah, my tim and forgotten 2 other mummies liao! hee hee....

starluster, think there's this method of placing cold cabbage on the breast to relieve the pain. you can try.

starluster
i stop same way as you. reduce until only 20-30ml then i stop. no problem at all. no pain oso cos amt so little anyway.

Hi Mummies...

I stil dun tink tat Im prepared to go bac to work yet...cos Im stil dreadin the tot of goin bac to work...n stoppin bfin...

Cae is stil takin in oni 100ml of fm in the morng, 80ml of fm in the afternoon n 150ml of bm at nite...seems like he prefers bm...so how can I stop bfin...but I dun wanna pump in the ofc...I hv stopped spoonfeedin him...n allow him to take in watever amt of milk which he wans...n Im gifin hin 3 solids a day...wonder if Im bein an irresponsible mommy...

Hi Dora...

Glad tat u r feelin okie now...

Hi Starluster...

Y did u stop bfin...I wil nid to endure the pain soon...very scared...

Hi Zion...

Our bbs share the same bday too...


946684.jpg
 
Fizz
hmmm Cae drink so little of ebm only. if he can eat more solids why not....

shihui
oic. cos yesterday night already detect brown spot so I think 'gd fren' will be coming. agreed sian....oic. pump 3 times, last 2 wk, I also tried to pump 3 times per days bec I need to go d n d and also NDP so miss one pump or delay the pumping. come back luckily dun have block duct but breast only veri hard till bm drip all over the shirt and floor (that's after I bath).

do PH slp yao lan before? tx will need to rock to slp when at my in laws hse but she can slp on her own at our hse. she just flip and flip then wave her handichief and then stuck her 2 fingers and doze off after that. this little missy really sweat a lot, everytime need to change her towel (double layer) which is placed at the back of her head.


xWpInGxW
heard that by popping pill to stop bf is no gd cos scared next time, if want to bf, bm will be lesser. my col pop pill to stop bf then her second preggie, she got no bm loh.
 
fizz,
no lah, y is tt irresponsible? i'm doing e same 2 mandy. 3 solids but only 2 milk feeds...since bt 1 mth ago lor. cos she doesn't like 2 drink mah. sometimes i give her solids, end up she consume more milk tt way... can u u imagine tt? i'm still spoonfeeding every feed. she drinks bt 100ml oso lah. n sometimes even need 2 trick her 2 drink 100ml. i tink can trick but cannot force. i'd prefer her 2 drink less milk (hopefully e solids wld make up 4 it) than haf a phobia o dislike 4 feeding time. tt's worse. so i dun force it lor. happy most impt. did e PD say cae's wt is fine? PD said mandy's is fine tho she's like on 0%. PD asked me nt to follow e chart.

starluster,
me too leh. when i cld only pump out 20ml i pumped every 3 days, then 4 days.. then no more. nowadays at most leak a few drops but my chest is as flat as a washboard liao.
sad.gif

yeah, i kept trying 2 film mandy saying 'ba ba' cos it's so cute but ahhh, once she sees e cam, she stops.

zion,

0730am 100ml of fm
0900am Cereal mixed wif 60ml of fm
1130am Porridge or mashed potato
0500pm 80ml of fm wif cereal or potato
1000pm 150ml of bm

His wt is now abt 7.8kg...pd said itz abt 40%ile...
 
HI Mumies,
Last 2 weeks, my hayley been waking in the middle of night and keep crying/refusd to sleep (e.g. 2.30am - 4.30am). OMMMGGGG Making us sooo tired at work at daytime. This few days, she a bit normal even though she wakey around 4 or 5am, standing at her cot and keep calling us for attention. Right after we put her together to laze with us, we just sleep while she roll n roll till she tired and back to zzz.

Hi Choo,

Hi Bloom,
as for homemade yoghurt, I just made some on wed night. My indian colleague taught me the method as she also been making yoghurt for her boi. Yoghurt that are seling in supermarket may contains preservatives/sugar and plain yoghurt is too sour as they set it for very long. Homemade one -> you can control the sourness and gentle for bb stomach. Even we adult can eat it too.

Sharing with all mummies on the method.. easy as 1.2.3..
Ingredient : 200ml fresh milk, 1/2 tsp plain yoghurt (which u can purchased it fm supermarket)

Methods: Warm the milk over a saucepan to abt 37 temp, stir and add the yoghurt. store in a air-tight container and let it set in room temp for at least 5 hours but not more than 12 hours. U then store the yoghurt in the fridge, use within 3 days.
* Any remaining yoghurt left in fridge, can provided culture for yur next batch of yoghurt.

Serving method for bb : scoop some and add some fruit puree. Voila..bon appetite

Yah yah.... haiz dunno why these babies like to torture us leh.... how long was Mandy like tat? JT has been at it for >1mth already. Last week she was starting to eat for the 1st 10-15min of her meal, which I tot I was seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but suddenly she got worse again.... I think she is teething again, but her bottom 2 teeth still hasn't fully grown yet leh, dun tell me her upper ones are coming out too? But I feel her gums like nothing leh.... haiz really dunno when it'll be over....

Bloom
hehehe... you should have seen how dirty my bathrooms and kitchen are :p:p No lah, everytime she'll have a weekly routine (vacuum/mop floor, clean kitchen, bathroom, toilet, play yard). Then there is a additional thing that I'll ask her to do that is not weekly. Like the 1st week was scrubbing the 8mth old stains on the bathroom and kitchen, then the next week was cleaning all the 5 fans in the house, this week is the living room displays.... something like tat lor...
I can't bring JT out in the rain, cos my place to mrt no shelter one... if she fall sick then I'll be even more jiat lat!!

Zion
Welcome!! Your boy looks very big!!

Connie
Waiting for your details... cos hubby has something on in the evening... he says if not interesting dun wan to rush here and there wor...

sad.gif


Shihui,

I thot of pumping 3 times from yesterday onwards. Coz Ace is 9 mths, so I thought of stopping when he is exactly 1 yr.
9-10 mths ==> 3 pumps, 10-11 mths ==> 2 pumps, 11-12 mths ==> 1 pump.
1 yr onwards ==> he can feed on FBM.
Me wanna stop, because of no space in fridge, I've been recycling my own BM, u know, mix with milo..
Then my period still not back yet..


Connie,
When will the gathering on the 8th ends? My lesson only finished at 5.30 - 6

And where/what will u all be shopping?

Homemade yogurt good hor! I also want to make but afraid I dun pasteurise the milk properly then breed god knows what other harmful bacteria. Ask you hor, must warm milk to 37degrees n leave at that temp for how long? Or is it if we start with pasteurised milk then dun have to worry too much, just warm nia can liao?

Zion

ladies,
i just realized why my ss suddenly abundant (well, to my standard lar).. its coz of one of the gastric medication the doctor prescribe. domperidone. isnt that the one for increasing ss oso? but pity have to throw away the 80ml i pumped out last nite coz other accompanying medication - omeprazole; not so safe for bf. no wonder suddenly got block duct when ss was actually dwindling liao. thanks for reminding me about the cold cabbage method! tomorrow must go ntuc liao..

zion,
welcome!!! the pill to stop really expensive lei.. think i try the cold cabbage way first. so much cheaper ;) wah.. your boy wearing 18mos rompers? must be v tall then.

fizz,
me stop coz ss really low, low liao then no motivation, plus like really so much time and effort for so little amt. not even enuff for sophia's 1 feed. and her 1 feed is a max of 120ml only (tat's on good days).

bloom,
how does that fp dog sound like? couldnt be that pathetic since its fp rite? my galfren was telling me she bought one cheap knockoff barney for her niece.. and it sounded like those..ermm...transvestite.. :p

qianhui,
no lar.. it not you la.. it's me (haha... sounds like those excuse for breaking up).. i am basically a very very pathetically shy person.

i am so blur.. tot the gathering is this weekend! next weekend should be ok for me...

so exciting.. i havent seen most of the babies yet.

fizz
my tx apetteti increase so now have to give 1-2 fm feed.

the feeding schedule at my hse and my mum'plc is diff loh cos tx will wake up early at 5am for feed at my mum
plc so my mum will give her as follow:
5am - 150ml of fm
8am- 4 tablespoon cereal with 150ml of ebm
1130am - 3 tablespoon of brown rice.
1230pm- 125ml of ebm
3pm- biscuit + 90ml of ebm
530pm- 1 bowel of porridge(fish n veg)
8pm- 150-180ml of ebm

usually ebm is not enu on mon so will have 2 feed of fm. cos at my hse, we seldom touch fm. we clear ebm first.

at my hse(wkend)
6am or 7am - 220/240ml of ebm + 20-40ml of water
1030 or 1130 - 4 tablespoon of cereal + 150ml ebm
3pm - 100 ml of ebm

0930pm(reach hm)- 125ml + 20ml of water

of cos in betw got give her water.
