(2006/12) December 2006 MTBs

hi mummies,

Yesterday work OT till 8plus. Oni reached home by 9pm. I was really beat tired. Called my mil on the way home to check on Jav. Was told tat Jav haven gone to bed yet as he still waiting for his mummy to come home. My mil said tat Jav jumping wif excitement whenever he heard footsteps n door opening coming from my neigbours hse. Guess he must be tinking tats was mi returning home from work. At that veri moment, how i wish for a teleporter so tat i can be teleported home immediately. I miss my boi, my precious..
When I reached home, Jav was playing in his playpen. The moment his eyes set on mi, he was like jumping wif joy n stretching his hands out. He wanna mi to carry him. When i carried him in my arms, he start slapping my chest wif his hands. Even thou he still dunno how to talk yet, I can feel tat he was trying to tell mi "mummy, mummy, why do u come home so late? i m waiting for you to come home and play wif mi. i miss u so much."
Later that nite around 10, I was trying to mi him zzz.. He was crawling around his mattress while i was having a chat wif hub. I heard him call "ma ma". I was flabbergasted. He was looking @ mi when he call "ma ma" again. I almost screamed @ my hub "Did u heard tat? Jav is looking @ mi and calling mi, ma ma". I carried Jav on my arms and hug him tight tight.. Kissing him on his mouth (his fav game). He used to cried out "ah mi" whenever he wanna mi to bao bao him. Or he would go "errrrhh..." when he in happy mood.
"ma ma" is his 1st actual word.. i m elated and honoured.

dora,
i can't rem but i tink e feeding prob lasted a 3-4 wks ba. it stopped when i decided 2 just let it be. act i read fr bks tt bbs intuitively noe how much food is enof 4 them n they wont' starve lah. but i tink nt eating enof at some pt o time makes them grouchy lor. so i was v v scared 2 let go n let her decide how much she wanna eat. i felt she had started 2 assoc feeding w sthg dreadful which is a def NO NO 4 me. cos i feel cultivating gd eating habits n love 4 food is e most impt, as long as bb is nt undergoing failure 2 thrive.
i haf a few diff food n extra milk on standby in case she rejects e one i prepared...
once she rejected, i'd try a couple o times more. if still reject, i'd wrap up. no frowns, so forcing... i'd say 'it's ok. mama won't force ok'. 1st time, she was q stunned n stared at me, speechless. hahahahaa... after a few times, she began 2 fuss less n guess started 2 enjoy eating again. or maybe her tooth finally grew out.
u try lar, anyway, it shldn't get worse than now... hehehe..

zion,
wah! ur boi wearing 18mth clothes??? mandy's still wearing NB ones!
biggrin.gif
he's v smiley n gd-looking.
happy.gif


bloom,
ya man... hubby oso commented flatter than b4? tt mrs wong still said we'd gain 0.5kg o flesh on our breasts, permanently! WHERE GOT???
 
Hi Bloom/Lil/hwee,
Yes, pls use pasteurised milk to make the yoghurt. Remb to warm the milk a bit .. I din use thermometer lah. If you dun like to be too sour, leave it to set for about 4 hours will do. The longer you leave it to set will be more sour. The first batch I made, I leave it for about 7 hours, to me it not as sour as those selling in supermarket but Hayley doesnt like it too much. Guess I will improve again on my next batch. So end up I am the one eating my 1st home made yoghurt. Just use a spoon to scoop required amt out from the container will do. Try it with some fruit jam for yourself, very yummy and convenient.

Hi Afcai,
Rendang is in Malaysia however this time I am travelling by coach and then ferry. The journey will takes about 10 hrs. So got to pump on the bus using nursing cover and lucky my friend also still BF mommy. So I can share her pump which is very silent not like mine (medela mini e) so noisy.Looks like I will be dumping away the milk away as there is no way I can store the milk along the journey and during the trip.Haiz.. this is my 2nd time wasting the ebm away.. the 1st time is during my Tokyo trip.
sad.gif


Yes, Hayley sleeps same room as us but she sleep in her own cot. These few night, she woke up to ask to sleep with us on our bed lor.

Looks like I wont be able to join you mummies on the gathering as I've something on that day. Enjoy and take more pics to share.
 
Giant is having a promotion on baby items. check it out

http://www.todayonline.com/pdf_mid.asp?id=3108NSL020&pubdate=20070831&publication=TODAY&sp=1

anyone intending to buy the headband (3 pc for $6.90) for the bb? I'm intending to buy but 3 pc so many leh, anyone wanted to share?

Gan
thks for the explanation. wow. journey takes 10hr, so long man....pumping on bus...with so many 'audience' hearing the noise of the pumping sound...ai-yo... same same, my medela mini so loud, it will like a motor running.... what brand is yr frenz pump, so silent?

will heart pain dumping away milk...

we only place tx on our bed when she woke up early in the morning after her first feed. then will surround the pillow ard while I went for my pump (usual will set alarm clock later than wkday pump).

will hayley roll and flip when on the bed? tx will roll and roll , flip n flip till she is tired then doze off.

Serene
when Jav called 'ma ma'. you must be like floating in the air. hubby jealous or not? haa..

do Jav slp in the same rm as u or yr mil?
 
Fizz,

kimi,
oh.. tt means now u totally dun pump liao? mandy on total FM liao? wah.. ur stopping seems quite smooth leh.. hai~~ dunnoe how mine will be like.. ss is definitely alot less.. but still need to pump frequently else kanna block ducts..
sad.gif


Gan,
the yoghurt seems nice leh.. use tupperware can? need to put the container in a tub of hot water to keep it warm? can't wait to try it.. :p

bloom,
i din noe tt it's opened by CF lor.. until she sms me.. heeee~ den i realised CF = fairymama.. :p

now i try to slowly stop lor.. can see tt my ss dipping liao.. which is okie.. gd for me to slowly stop.. coz i think i'm addict to pumping milk liao.. so unwilling to stop..
sad.gif


Qianhui,
wah.. ur period till now still haven't report ah.. maybe when u reduce to 3 times, it will report soon..
happy.gif
for me, i tried reducing to 3 pumps a day ocassionally last mth.. den aft awhile, period report liao... u want to give och's made some FBM if u hav too much? made's wound recover faster if she drinks BM..
happy.gif


LiL,
i share the same worries with u.. sometimes i dun dare to make yoghurt myself.. coz really worried tt if i'm not aseptic enough, i may be introducing other bacteria in to ferment the milk.. den i will be scooping mouthful of dunnoe wat bacteria into my mouth... can't imagine.. :p

serene,
javier so cute.. can call u mama liao...
happy.gif
 
Hi Shihui,
Yes, u can use tupperware, no need to use tub of hot water to keep it warm while it set. Try and it me know if u like it
happy.gif


My Hayley still on total bm and I pump 4 times a day. Planning die die must stop bf once she reachs 1 yr old. Whenever I feel like stopping, I also very 'bu she de' just like you, maybe i addicted to pumping lol. My current supply although also drop slightly, still sufficient for her 1 day feed. But I unable to store any excess to freeze.

Hi Afcai,
yes, she roll and crawls / flip.. so very dangerous if we leave her on our bed although we surround with many pillows Unless we around. Last night, she woke again at 2.30am, keep making awful noise to distrub our sleep. Cant tahan her..my hubby got to carry her over our bed (bet. us) while we ignored her and continue to sleep. SHe is getting a little terror. While I pumping now, she still asleep.
* Btw, my friend is using Medela Swing - very slient pump.

Later gtg to bring her along, for our jap buffet lunch with my friend. Hope we get to enjoy the feast.

Gan,
tkz for sharing the yoghurt recipe.

JTS: How to talk to your baby by Dorothy P Dougherty, is a MUST read.

the book is very thin, can finito in a day. i find it very helpful.
 
afcai,
keke.. ya i m floating in e air.. hub no jealous. he always know jav has better bonding wif mi. hub is the strict daddy while i m the good natured mummy.
jav been co-sleep wif mi eversince he no longer sleep in yaolan. But i m training him to sleep on his own on the floor with the mattress. Sometimes when he wakes up in the nite, i have to co-sleep wif him so tat he will continue to zzz..

mbb,
i went to Waruku in Marina Sq once bringing jav along. My friends book the private room. The room has those jap-syle dinning where one have to sit on the floor. If our bbs sit on the baby chair, they will b higher than us.
plus i find the food so-so & quite exp...
i remebered tat time my Jav keep smiling @ the waitress attending to us. Tat waitress even gave a small toy to Jav. My friends were teasing tat Jav so young know how to "sian1" girls already.
 
Wishing all the Sept mummies a happy n meaningful birthday wif ur precious prince n princess..

mi 2nd wedding anniversary also fall on Sept. Tis year, we decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary wif Jav.. going to treat ourselves a fine diner in hotel..
 
serene
yup, same goes to tx's papa loh, he is a strict papa. he always 'scold' tx that might be one of the reason that tx scared and not close to him.

oic. gd man....can't place tx long in our bed cos hubby might 'crashed' her. last time, nearly crashed her few times and mummy came to resue.

haa so interesting, Jav smile 'sheepishly' to thw waitress and 'sian' a toy man....

mbb2
u are welcome.wow see the long list that so many mummies attending the sept 8, what's the events? can pm me the details. thks.

zion, dont worry for the sat outing alot of us will be bringing our kids out... it will be a riot! wow..ethan really look older than his age.. btw, have put ethan's pic tat u had posted here to the dec mommies blog. hope u dont mind. Do let us know if u got a website for him so that we can all link up.
happy.gif
and if u wan, u can offer to help to the maintain the dec mommies website!

dora, kate's bottom 2 teeth is not fully out yet and now she is having fever and always using her tongue to touch her upper gum so i assume she is teething too! soemtimes little drizzle i also die die bring JT out..i got the 'raincoat' for the stroller so if it rains heavily she will be drier than me! :p (but my pl is near mrt, unlike urs so quite convenient for me to bring stroller out)

Lil, gan, actualy i wonder..scarly we din know but do homemade yogurt wrongly then no active culture inside (which is waht we want right?) anyway to know if we manage to retain the active culture in our next batch???

today try out porridge on thermal pot for kate..end up put too little water inside... luckily i open up in 1 hr and check then add boil water hehehee... but lie to hb said its a success! :p but kate zzz liao without eating so duno how will the porridge look like after 5-6 hours... will feedback again

starluster, the fp dog got make dog sound, and the dog sound sound as if the dog just got fished out of a pond (u know.that pitiful sound?)

afcai, heard from my nanny nowadays moe change the textbook after 2 yrs...rem backup hdd dont use for other things hor..i lend to my vendor to copy her stuff end up she accidentally del my files..luckily the original still at home! u mean tx really eat on the dot? for kate, she crazy crazy change timing one....and she refuse to eat if she is not hungry, so i canot have a schedule like u.... or is there a way to 'train' her?

serene,congrats! jav is calling mama!!!!!! ehhh..immediately i should 'work late' one day to see if kate will call me mama aha (thick skin) ..wah ..only married for 2 yrs????

kimi..eheh.maybe mrs wong say lost 0.5kg not gain ... no way i gain 0.5 kg on my chest...

gan, must the container be air tight?? sorry hor..so many Qs... wow.so shiok can go tour... wah..ur ss stil alot leh...actually enuf for 100% of hayley's feed!

shihui, not a bad addiction lah :p like what hwee said, good job for persevering so long!

re the 18th.how late will u mommies stay till? cos earliest i can make it is maybe 4pm cos rushing from another function in woodlands wihch only start at 2pm
 
mummies
just want find out the following:
1) do our bb of this age still need to wear sock when gg out? even short trip to coffeeshop?

2) do bb still wear hat/cap when gg out?

3) do you still burp yr bb?

Bloom
tx also drool a lot recently(some more, like to create blow bubble sound and play with saliva till all over her mouth) and her 2 teeth only show a bit. she kept on using her tongue to touch her gum.

today, hubby and I took her to coffeeshop to makan. the 15 mins walk fr coffeeshop to my hse, she kept on utter words (like singing....) and mom mom. so hubby told tx not to call mom mom but pa pa. hubby repeat a few times and tx repeat after him and then back to call momo mom again. haa..so funny. tx also like to play peek a poo and she will giggle loud.

with regard to the thermal pot, can it keep warm? how long do u cook the porriage? usually, I cook the porriage using slow cooker for 2hrs, then off the switch cos my small slow cooker dun have temp ctrl to keep warm.


huh, jialat, why moe want to change textbook, ai-yo, like that cannot reuse liao. unlike last time, my brother and I are 4 yr apart, I will hand down my textbook to him.

yup, my mum fixed the feeding timing and slp routine so like 'robot' (oops...), she will eat on the dot. even poo timing also fixed, poo twice per day. so funny...fixed timing to poo. for me, I dun fix her feeding timing. depending on what time is her first feed then after that 4-4.5hr then give her the next feed(sometimes, 5hr). on her
second feed, she will be hungry and finish veri fast. my mum always told me tx dun like cereal, i told her who say. I told her now tx big liao, cannot fixed timing to 3hr, told her that first feed and second feed quite close - only 3hrs, of cos tx dun seem hungry and dun assume that she dun like cereal loh. but she still turn to deaf ear. pissed *&*(^*.
but hor, tx still eat slowly and acc to my mum, she said, tx only left some leftover cereal only.
what to do, tell her so many times dun need to feed her so early at 8am liao, she still......(*&(*&^(*^

haa..then delay Kate' s feeding timing, see if she is hungry, she eat or not loh.
err.. one of the day, must let tx meet kate. tx depend on mood one, if see the person 's face, dun like she will cry. so funny, on fri night when hubby and I brought her back from my mum'plc. my neighbour (muslim) came back dressing so nice and the uncle say hello to tx, the moment when tx see him, she broke into tears. haa...

today, I went to meet a mummy to pass her something at my area and brought tx along. tx even smile at the lady. haa.. when the mummy say see u and bye bye, tx wave (bye bye action) to her. so funny again.

do Kate wear hat when gg out? or kate wear sock to sleep or when she is brought back fr nanny's hse?

Shihui
me also addict to pump too. I won't forget to bring milk bag, pump out one.
 
afcai, to answer ur Q : (1) i only put on socks for her when i feel tat she will get cold (so breakfast and lunch outing usually is without socks) (2) kate hates cap and will take it off, so i usually dont unless its really cold (3) yes, but only for yi4 shi4. dont wait till she makes burping sound. By right, no need to burp after they learn how to sit up hahaha...so tx's first word is mama too!
happy.gif
yes i cook abt 2 pax share, and the porridge is still warm after 7 hours. i think tx 'lacks' the 'training' from SCN so she is not used to strangers... ahahahh ... now with porridge abit better, but with brown /white rice cereal must cook before she gets hungry cos she yells and cries very loud the moment she is hungry and there is no food! me lazy mommy, let kate wear those long pants without holes (so cover the legs) when i bring her to nanny's pl .ahhahahahahaha... nanny will change her to something else when she is there. cos kate always shake her legs and drop her socks...

Yesterday brought kate out to have lunch with ILs. Kate was hungry when we are about to leave restaurant. Then guess what FIL say? Said wait till we reach home (45 min away!) then feed her. I think alot of children will die if men are the main caregiver!
 
Mbb, mummies
I m afraid I wun b able to make it on 7th liao. Sniff sniff, so sad! My hb has to b in KL for meetings on the 7th so he wants to drive up n ask us to go with him that day. Otherwise he has to fly to n fro on 7th then drive us all the way up again on the 8th. I cannot b so selfish lor. So sad wun be able to meet Mbb, Kimi, Chang, Sylk, Roo, Serene and to catch up with the other mummies whom I hv met b4.

Serene
Gong Xi gong Xi, ur Jav can call "ma ma" le. So happy for u. If my boy can call me mama i can imagine all the frustrations n tiredness would evaporate away asasp
happy.gif


Bloom
I think if your milk actually set within the short incubation time to become yogurt means u hv active cultures inside bah.

Shihui
Hahaha...think we two always worry too much bah
happy.gif
 
Mummies, have been busy last week. Today on MC, been having migraine with nausea
sad.gif
Been feeling troubled too, back pain is not improving, the pain radiating down to my butt and leg also becoming more frequent. I have been asked not to carry Evee but quite difficult to avoid.Physiotherapist suggest me going for MRI to see exactly what is wrong as my back is no responding to treatment after 7 sessions. Hiaz going to spend lotsa $$ again, MRI cheapest i can find is about $700 and this amount is not claimable
sad.gif
think i will go for it as i do want to know exactly what's wrong now have to pray it is not something serious...sob sob...felt very moody hope won't go into depression man, health not good and work sucks...when mood not good also affect atmosphere at home..chain reaction.

Me stopping BF very soon also, cutting down to 2 pumps and started Evee on Similac over the weekend..targetting to stop totally by end of this month. Think BF has really taken a toil on my health
sad.gif



Afcai, my reply to your 3 questions.
1)Evee doesn't wear socks except going to air conditioned places
2)She doesn't wear cap or hat unless going to be in the sun.
3)dun have to burp anymore once they can sit upright.
Thanks for the info on Giant, went to stock up some boxes of heinz cereal.

May i know who is the organiser for the 8 sept outing? Can PM me the details? Wanna see if i can go.

<font color="aa00aa">hi all,
tot ethan called mama on sat... was very excited... dunno if i heard wrongly...

Jackie,
thnx...hee...

afcai,
tx is sooooooo cute... n all the other bbs as well... btw, ethan weighs abt 3.2kg at birth... manay ppl say he was quite big liao wor... but i tot he look kinda small... was actually quite scared to carry him then... he looked so fragile... hee...
to ur qns:
1. bring socks out everytime n wear for ethan if the environment is cold or v crowded (cos of his anklet).
2. ethan doesnt wear cap anymore cos he perspire alot... will take umbrella if its hot n cover him if hooded blanket when gg hm at night esp when cold...
3. i still burp him now...

kimi,
he long outgrown his NB clothes liao... really grow so fast... tot it was only yest where he was still so small... yest, let him wear the 18m romper i juz bought... was only a bit long, tot can only wear for 1-2 mths... but as he crawl n move ard, the romper actually stretches!!! omg... think can wear till 18m liao... hee...

ehh.. u mentioned tt mrs wong said we'd gain 0.5kg o flesh on our breasts permanently... think she is referring to those mummies who din bf exclusively? cos i stopped when ethen was only 3mths n think i really gain abt 0.5kg there... haiz... previous bras all cannot wear liao...

bloom,
thnx for putting ethan's pic on the blog... he doesnt have a website as everyone is too bz to create one n think no one knows how to anyway... hee... thnx for the offer but dun think i can help to maintain the website cos i dun know how to...
happy.gif

-ivan only wear socks whe go far n ice places!
happy.gif

kimi,

same same..ivan can still wear some 3-6mth clothes...u can imagine how skinny he is....

Van.

wow u managed to bring Reyna for movie??
happy.gif
she must be easy to handle

i have a few questions too please assist! thansk!

-How long does yr bb nap per day?

-Does yr bb sleep in cot or co sleep?

-How many solid meals is bb having now?

-Can yr bb be left alone in cot without fussing?

QSG,

take good care ok!you have bf for so long liao!!
happy.gif
how does Evee take to the taste of Similac?
 
MBB

I am ok with globetrotters, but can you book it at 12noon? cos I will need to take 1 hr to feed JT, so if start at 1230, by the time I finish feeding her/cleaning etc, I can only have lunch at 2pm :p
Thanks for organising!!

How does Meg like her porridge? So far JT only tried once when I used a small pot to cook for her, but cos its the 1st time I cooked porridge over the fire, its a bit burnt. She didn't like it leh, dunno because if its burnt or she doesn't like porridge....

Bloom
You finally bot the thermal pot? How much?
Actually my place also not that far from MRT, 10min walk, just tat no shelter all the way. I also have the rain cover for stroller. But JT is hubby's precious.. if he knows that I bring her out despite raining, sure got WWIII at home one...

QSG
Good tat Evee takes similac well. JT can't even take Nan HA... haiz.... She has been taking Isomil with her cereals and she's ok with tat. That day I tried giving her isomil to drink, she totally refused... guess I'm stuck with bf... no choice...
It must be tough taking care of 2 + bf... you must take good care.... since evee takes similac well, then you can wean her off bf and then take good care of yourself....

Zion
Wah Ethan can wear 18mth romper!! JT can still fit into most of her 3-6mth clothes.... and she was born 3.7kg!!! Haiz... who ask her to keep refusing milk, then refuse solids now... like want to go on diet like tat....

Afcai
1)Socks: I only let JT wear socks if its very cold or she wear nice clothes + shoes. If it's downstairs/ntuc, then I won't bother lor...

2)I only let JT wear hat if its very sunny. She sweats a lot so very seldom let her wear hat.

3)I haven't burped her for a long time!!! anyway, she won't stay still to let me burp her!! She will burp on her own after a while.

Choo
To answer you questions
1)JT's naps varies a lot. From 1hr to 3 hrs in total, 2 to 3 times a day.

2)She sleeps in her own cot in her own room from day 1

3)She is having 2 solid meals a day.... and struggling with it!

4)Depends on what time of the day it is. If she is very sleepy, then she can't be left alone in the cot without crying. If she just woke up, she can play on her own in the cot for 10-15min.
 
choo

to answer you

1) 2 naps in the day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon. varies from 30mins to 1hr max.

2) sleep in her cot in her own room since day 1

3) 2 solid meals

4) cannot be left in the cot alone. cannot be left alone anywhere.
 
Went to see my GP just now. She said better to see orthopaedic surgeon first than just go MRI directly myself. So will be seeing one at SGH this friday afternoon. Dunno how long this will drag before i finally go for scan and find out what's the problem. My GP also said actually to save $$ in case of surgery required better go thru polyclinic then can go in as subsidised patient, she is scaring me with things like surgery......anyway no choice if still have to go poly queue and then wait for appointment drag even longer so will go ahead this friday as private patient.

Dora, its really challenging to take care of 2 especially Evee is quite a demanding bb, i hardly have time to rest even on weekends.had intended to stop bf only end of this month now may have to stop within 1 week if i am going for MRI as i think MRI is not safe for BF.

Choo, not sure what is evee's reaction to similac as my hubby helped to give the nite feed nowadays due to my back pain. But i think not that much resistance since she is able to finish 180ml within 45 mins or so.....even for BF sometimes she can take an hour.

Conniemummy, i have Pmed you my email addy.
 
<font color="aa00aa">choo,
to ur qns:
1. ethan naps twice per day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon, varies from 30mins to 3hrs or more depending on the level of crowd in the hse
2. ethan sleeps with me now alone on a queen size bed in his room...
3. usually 2 solid meals
4. can self entertain a while b4 screaming for ppl depending on mood... lack of security, doesnt like to be alone...

Dora,
ya... he is growing v fast... mb bcos he is a boy... he doesnt like milk as well though he would have craving for milk b4 sleep at night... but will eat anything given to him as long as he is not feeling cranky... he even open his mouth when i tried to make him kiss his rubber ducky!!! tot dat is food... omg...</font>
 
Afcai,

Yes, Hubby drink the BM too! He drink more than me ah! But recently since I pump 3 times, drink lesser liao. Last time when I pump 4 times, the 4th time will become milo..


Shihui, Sylk, Vanessa

U going where on 6th? I haven take leave yet, but will take half day if u all comfirmed coming out.


Weight Ace yesterday, his growth is slow now.
From 7/8 mths to 9 mths, only from 10.4 - 11.2kg


And, he still dunno how to talk. But crawling all over the house to chase and disturb my poor chihuahua and jack russell liao..
And yes, he got more bumps and is often stucked hanging on drawers/beds..
He climb and stand by holding on to a drawer handle, then the drawer kanna opened. then he just hang there and just scream for help, coz he dunno how to let go properly and sit nicely without falling. Dunno to laugh or scold.
 
dora, bloom,
eh... me bring mandy out rain or shine. she oso has e 'raincoat' 4 her stroller but i need 2 hands 2 push e stroller, n there r curbs n slopes etc so i always end up getting wet! we're nt so particular bt her going out on rainy days. once it rained super heavily, even her stroller 'raincoat' cannot tahan n this big pool o water splashed on to her. we still had 10min 2 walk b4 we reach home (fr our place 2 mrt takes 20min 2 walk when raining). so she was soaked in rainwater tho she din seem 2 mind! no reaction watsoever!

afcai,
1) only wears socks at nite or when going out 2 aircon places

2) nv wear hat after her 1st mth

3)only burp her after her last feed but won't wait until she really burps out.


choo,
eh, i'll ans ur qns but act there's nt much pt cos bbs can differ greatly so there's no pt comparing. but u might just wanna noe as reference i guess.

1)naps fr 2-4 times a day. 1st nap ranges fr 0.5 - 2hrs. 2nd nap is usu 1 hr. 3rd nap is usu 2 hrs but can b up to 3 hrs. 4th (if there is one) wld b bt 0.5 hr.

2)has always slept in e cot but in e same rm as us

3)3 solid meals fr 1 mth ago cos she rejects milk

4)doesn't fuss most o e time

btw, it's nt a big deal lah, if our bbs r still wearing small sized clothes! gd wat! can wear 4 v long, save money!
happy.gif



MBB,

Choo,
Reyna is not very guai, just that the movie Theattre was booked by BMSG so there were many kids around and nobody bothers abt her cos the sound was louder than her voice.

Answer to ur questions:
1) 2-3 Naps a day, 1 morning, 2 afternoons ranging from 30mins to 2.5 hrs.
2) Reyna nvr likes her cot. She had been co sleep with us on our bed and when she's asleep, we trf her back to her cot at nite. Naptime now is in sarong.
happy.gif

3) 2 solids meal a day, sometime lesser, cos SAHM gathering
happy.gif

4) She can be left in the cot if I'm with her. Out of sight, will scream!!!

Kimi and Bfing Mums,
Regarding the gaining on the breasts. REcently we counsellor are discussing on this issue, Shrinking breasts and sagging breasts. Our gathers are, our breasts will be slightly bigger than those who didn't bf. Reason was during pregnancy, our breast grows bigger due to the fats deposit ready for breastfeeding (hence those not bf will also have fats deposited), after birth, these fats are transformed into bm and feed baby, hence our breasts are soft and sagging initially after breastfeeding. After we stop breastfeeding, these fats are being deposited back to our breasts at a slower rate, but the breasts will be back to pre-pregnancy size.

HTH

any bb is sleeping in the playpen not cot? if so, do u lower to the lower level? till I have not lower the playpen, tx still sleep on the upper kind of deck.
wondering if I lower her onto the play pen, she will be very stuffy inside. she perspire till her back of her shirt wet. I always help her to turn to her side but she still turn back and slp on her back.


Bloom
thks for sharing yr views.

hmm how can like that man....if bb is hungry, they will sure scream one mah...want her to scream all the way home huh...ai-yo.

oic, my mum dun burp tx, tx normally, self burp or no burp. yup, she kept on saYing ma ma mo mo.


QSG
wow, $700 for MRI, so ex leh....did u have any epidural during yr labour, maybe that might be the trigger of the backache leh?

same goes here, I also kana headaches, eye pain due to lack of slp. addicted to pumping liao...

it is tough to bf while looking after 2 kids man.. cheers..dun u have someone to assist to look after both kids while u can have a rest on certain day (take leave)? do take care of yourself.

Vanessa
thks for sharing yr views. I only forgotten to let her wear sock one time only when I went to my ILs's hse. she is on the air-con bus and I quickly use handichief to cover her legs (cold cold loh).
oic. now, tx dun like cap/hat, she will take out and throw away.

wow, bring a bb for movie, bravo...me dun dare man...

mbb2
xie xie for sharing yr views too. wear shoes, heard old folk telling me not to let bb wear shoes till they are 1 yr old. me also dunno the reason why.
I also bought tx's minnie mouse shoe but kept in the cupboard for display only. occasionally, take out and see see look look. haa..

oic, meg like to wear hat won't she take it out?

now tx burp slowly only, unlieke during her bb time, wow piang , she burped so loud man...fart also so loud...haa..so disgusting...



XWpinGxW
thks for compliments. in fact, all bb are cute including ethan man...wow, quite standard size bb 3.2kg. tx only weight 2.945kg.
thks for sharing yr views on the 3 qns loh. yup, tx also perspire a lot man...

tx alo wear 12-18 mth long pants and shirt liao, initially, suppose to take out 3 mth later when she is 1 yr old. then i just take out to see if she can wear, wow, she really can wear, just nice for her only.

wow, ethan gd life slp with mummy alone in the queen size bed, where's daddy, poor daddy....

choo
thks for sharing view. hmm ppls said bb need wear cap when young to prevent wind fr getting into their head loh.
To answer you questions

Qns 1: How long does yr bb nap per day?
acc to my mum, tx nap every 2 hrs. then it can be range fr 30 mins - 3 hrs. at my hse, she dun nap often. she only nap at 12+ and then woke up at 1pm cos she poos. then she slp at 2+ and slp for 30 mins only.
that's her sun schedule. she will take short nap on the way to my mum 's hse.

tx hardly slp in my in laws's hse on sat, maybe due to the new envirnoment, she dun get use to it, she will be very cranky then. when i am pumping in the rm, hubby can't handle him, tx will scream fr 7pm+ up to 745pm. then when finally, make her slp but she will nap for 10 mins only. hai...

Qns 2:Does yr bb sleep in cot or co sleep?
- tx will slp in her playpen. she will co slp with us when she has her first feed in the morning only.

Qns 3:How many solid meals is bb having now?
- Cereal with ebm in the morning
- Eu ren sang Brown rice + ebm in the noon
- Fish/veg porriage in the evening

total: 3 solid at my mum'plc but 2 solid at my hse during wkend (no brown rice, brown rice power added to porriage so 2 in 1).


qns 4: Can yr bb be left alone in cot without fussing?
- depend on bb's mood.

on sat morning till noon, hubby not in so I dump all the toys and placed tx on our bed surround with high high sack sack pillow around her (cos she now finally can climb over pillow) and left her playing alone while I went for my pump in the noon. but occasionaly, came and peek at her.

- if she scream then will place her on the rocking chair next to me then dump all the wet tissue, card for her to play while I pump.

- or else, try to make her zzz..before I go and pump.


- dun let tx see me then she will divert her attention to esle where - toys then play with it. if she see me, she will pretend to cry in puty way.like what xWpinGxW mentioned maybe bb lack of security so they scared to be left alone.

Dora
tot JT fr her photo look quite chubby, still wear 3-6 mth clothes meh.thks for sharing yr views. err.. so fast wear shoes, my friend and mum told me not to let her wear shoe tough I'm tempting but sitll follow the rules.

will she perpsire a lt during nap time or at night when she zzz? err.. u 'fan xin' to let JT slp in next rm. initally, during 1-4 mth, tx slp in the next rm but after I started work during my 4mth, we shift her play pen to our rm cos at that time, she looked scared or frighten in the dark.

wow, u scared that JT climb or fall (touch wood) at the next rm when we adult are sleeping at night?


kimi
tot JT fr her photo look quite chubby, still wear NB clothes meh.

Qianhui
gd man..yr hubby so guai..u 'force' or he self drink one? :p

ask hubby to drink the excess one when I got plently of ebm, he said yuck.. oic. gd naturally tonic for hubby, more tonic than essence of chicken man...ke keke

will Ace be clingy to u? haa.. evne yr doggies scared of Ace pulling their tail? me dun want tx to go near my sil's chihuahua when we are in the in law 'hse tough tx is quite curious and wanted to touch 9shd said pull the tail), scared tx allegic to fur.

haa at least, Ace dun dare to pull the drawer further and shout for assistance, clever of him. now tx loves to pull drawer at my mum'plc and my mum tap all the drawer but this little missy still try to pull.

hey cf chang,
happy birthday to philip too. wanted to sms u but sunday was such a busy day. i need to pass u the invoice number for delivery on thurs. i sms to u ok?

hi afcai,
1) made either wears socks or shoes when she's going to aircon places.
2) made always wears caps, cos she's botak n caps cover botakness. she doesn't like caps nowadays, but we buy those with straps, so she cannot yank it off.
3) no.

hi choo,
this is post-op period for made, so she has no routine to speak of n she can't even drink all fm yet, let's not talk abt solids. think i can only answer 2 n 4.
2) always in her cot. study room in the day. our room at night.
4) i dun leave her alone in the cot. unless she's very engrossed in playing something, she will fuss when all adults r out of sight.
 
CF Chang

thank goodness Philson is ok.

Afcai,
you can let bb TX wear soft sole shoe. when TX starts walking then you can change to hard sole.

Meg have a collection of shoes (me crazy liao). hb is gonna cut all my credit cards sooonnnnnn.

Meg hardly wear hat la. but she is ok.
will not try to remove it.

do bring your stroller on sat if you wanna TX to nap. coz the clubhse hv limited furniture and the floor is not suitable to put bb on it unless hv playmat.

why dun you ask your hb to join you on the train ride. once at suntec, your hb can go elsewhere and then pick you up again later.

tats wat i told my hb to do. send me to suntec then he can go off jalan jalan.
coz i know it's boring for him to attend tis kinda gathering.

Dora,

-How many solid meals is bb having now? --> usually 2, sometimes 0 depending on how lazy i am
