hi ladies,
have been quite some time i did not visit the thread. looks like most of mom are having #2 or #3... wow..
Just 2 mths ago, together with my husband and our little one we have moved to sydney.
i don't have a good experience with my pregnancy, so a little scare to have the #2. So how different is it?

hui & aqua:
hahaha.. thx!
i'm also very happy to be able to wean him off the breast!
but also a bit sad.. mixed feelings... cause the feeling of him nursing is really very nice and intimate.
hui:
last week, i left him to stay at my MIL's for 3 nites (from monday to wednesday nite). when he's there, he only can drink from bottle cause i'm not there.
on thurs nite, he came back home.. and asked for the breast still.. but i just had to be persistent and say that "mummy has no more milk". and say that i will make milk for him in the bottle. at first, he kept crying and crying (see already very xin tong), and kept saying "no need no need" to drinking from the bottle.
but after about 30 min of this, he finally relented and said "mummy, make milk"...
since then, he has asked for the breast on friday and saturday and sunday... but i have to insist on giving him the bottle and saying that i don't have anymore milk for him in the breast.
today (monday), he didn't even ask me for the breast. when he said "drink milk", and i said "mummy make milk for you in a bottle ok?", he said "ok".
think that you may have to try it out for at least one week if you have someone to leave him with. but you're a SAHM, so may be more difficult to wean him... you have someone to put him with for a few nites, so that he gets used to not drinking from the breast?
one thing i learnt from this.. all babies are different. if you are actually still comfy with nursing JK, then go ahead? maybe he will one day just tell you that he doesn't want to nurse anymore?
on top of it all, you've got to be patient and loving when you tell him no more breast. cause i think they associate the breast with security and love.. and without nursing, we still have to display through other actions that we love them..
jia you!

char,
your story i see already feels very nice n not much of battle. so good.. i think i always gets angry when he insists on wanting to latch when i try not to. maybe thats y he cry even louder n more pitiful.
think my problem is i can't leave him with anybody else. N hubby also couldn't bear to see him cry when he asked to latch. so i have to give in lor. HIAZ HIAZ HIAZ.

im just curios if u do have milk supply why wanna wean off?

hi sherl!
haha.. thanks..
i can totally understand how you feel. i really feel kinda sad still.. but oh well, there will come a pt of time when i should wean him off, and think this is the time.
the feeling of kienan growing up is even stronger now that he doesn't nurse anymore. it's like he's a big boy already.. (dunno if u understand what i mean...)
hui:
don't stress about it. just take your time then. i still believe that it takes both hands to clap in the weaning process. i'm sure there will be a time when JK will be ready to stop latching on.
in the meantime, just continue to be patient with him and shower him with all the love you can and the sense of security you are giving him when he latches on. slowly... don't sigh!
*pat pat*
hi zhu zhu:
haha. that's a very valid question.
personally, i just felt that it's about time. and i'm thinking of trying for no. 2 sometime next yr. so it's time to regulate my period. cause so far in the past 20 mths after i've given birth, i've only had my period 3 times.. haha.
plus, i kinda have a feeling that nursing was causing my boy to have the habit of waking up in the middle of the nite vs sleeping thru.
so far, since he started taking bottle when he's with me at home, he has more or less slept through.. like, from 10pm to about 6am. which is very good for me already.. haha.

oic charmaine now i got a better picture..good luck for ur no. 2 next yr
yah, so worrying. nothing is safe anymore. My hubby just bot 2 more packs of Want Want Take One BB Bites (chicken flavour, my twins' fave) over the weekend. Now, I've instructed my maid not to give them that anymore. When confirmed that it's also tainted, I will be thorwing them all away. The only biscuits I give them now are the Japan-made Manna biscuits and those small melt-in-your mouth sweet type of small biscuit buns and the Maple Arrowroot biscuits from Cold Storage. Even ice-cream, which they enjoy, have to be the Haagen Dazs or B&J now. No more Walls Chocolate Heaven - still have 2 tubs in the freezer

hi mummies,
Just to share. I was reading one of the sharing threads yesterday about China-made products. After reading through I think it is best not to give our babies any milk based products for now unless we are very very sure. Reason being that the manufacturers are not obliged to state the origins of their ingredients - so when they say that, for e.g. theirs is a product of Singapore, or Taiwan, etc., it simply means the product was made in the place, but doesn't mean the raw ingredients come from that place, i.e. the raw ingredients could come from China! So hor, better be safe than sorry.

Thanks, Charmaine. M just playing the waiting game now with my Prince. Edd is 28 Sep, actual F1 day. Some more, gynae flying off to UK for holiday on 27, so if I were to bomb anytime after that, she will assign me another gynae....
Fae, think most prob. I will be enrolling the twins at YMCA half-day CC which is just downstairs tho' I don't think much of the teachers but it's so nearby. As for MMI, my dad and maid will still have to take a short bus ride to Katong Shopping Centre. The same goes for Shaws (Katong). I was also looking at Tung Ling Nursery (Church of S'pore) cos' I really like the environment (the principal said she doesn't mind letting them try out at 24 months, tho by right, shd be 2.5 yrs of age), but it's only for 3 hrs a day. Maybe I will switch them over to that nursery when they reach 2.5yrs old. Any more cases of HMFD? Else, was thinking of enrolling them in YMCA in about 2 months' time just to try out. How about you? Ay CC or PG you've shortlisted?
My kids are on Enfagrow, think I must go to hte website to check out too!!
