Astro: Afternoon, u feeling better.
Hey I was thinking about this CIO when i went to bed last nite and u know wat, i think i have implemented CIO on Rae before leh.. when she was 2 to 3 months old. Car seat issue lah.. she crys and wants to be carried but i refused, my rule is that as long as she is in the car, she must be buckled up, ABSOLUTELY no carry. Once she cry damn hard all the way from Woodlands to my place in Hougang.. 30mins man..and then she fall asleep as we were driving into the carpark at our place. I have let her cry on her car seat a few times liao, major crying somemore.. hehe.. so now she will guai guai sit there unless she is super hungry or tired cos near to her bedtime, then will cry again..heheh. so i guess i have "endured" her major crying before, maybe the CIO this round should be ok hor.
 
oh oh.. i think i am going to have a sit-on-floor-in-shoppingmall-crying kid soon!! EJ has finally shown his true colours liao! Over the weekend, he threw tantrum and showed his naughty side.. wau, he just sat on the living room floor and scream n scream.. cos i just scolded him and he realised so he screamed until i come n pick and pacify him.

jialat liao. SQ, u can come and slap EJ liao... sigh.. no more guai guai baby!!
 
star: slightly.. now raining at woodlands. later got to bring teng to PD.. hope this visit will be fruitful..

really? aiya.. then not a problem lah.. coz u already got a taste of how hard she can cry liao right? woodlands to hougang.. ok.. used to travel that kind of distance.. far.. haha.. if u can tahan this kind of crying while driving. me honestly think thatduring sleeping time.. not an issue liao .:p

hmm.. should u decide to implement CIO.. do be prepared that Rae might wake up at least twice in the same night.. coz that was what teng did.. of course second time crying will not be so tough.. then for all day naps also must stick to the same conditions..

read more on controlled crying lah.. i used to think GF was bullshitting that bbs can be stroked to sleep.. just stroke on the forehead type.. before teng was rid off pacifier.. but now.. he can.. if i feel particularly motherly.. then will lie there and stroke his forehead.. then his eyes will slowly close.. ha.. hypontic touch my hands.. :p

think u can also discuss with bbgirl and SQ how they feel.. coz SQ in the process of CIO. and bbgirl finished CIO anna liao.. more opinions for ur reference mah
happy.gif
 
AStro: Ya i am waiting for SQ to report back her on her CIO outcome..hehe.. Calling SQ SQ..where are you?? Anyway, why SQ wanna do CIO on YE har?? she got bad sleeping habits meh?? i think come o bad sleeping habit, no one can top my ger!!!
 
star: if i later go Dr Ong hor. then skali she advised me must let Teng CIO before he can move ah.. eehh.. pls pat me on my back to encourage me hor.. *sigh*
 
Astro: but hor.. i am still planning how i wanna CIO cos she wakes up twice to feed.. been corresponding with Gak..seems like fully BF baby (especially direct latch BBs) dun drink enuff to sustain them thru the nite, so they still need to wake up once or twice to feed.. so this is a bit tricky cos if I CIO, must make sure the times she wakes at nite is not cos she hungry and wants milk lah.. abit tricky here hor.
 
Star: SQ wanted CIO YE coz YE will wake in the middle of night.. then only SQ can calm her back to sleep.. something like ur case.. but not every 45 mins waking.. so i think SQ tired and concerned abt this waking.. not good for YE to keep waking and screaming like that mah.. so finally decided on CIO liao.. that time still have major discussion between me and bbgirl on CIO ah..
happy.gif


i think she shacked lei.. coz tiring to hear bb screaming in the night.. and u can't go in to pacify.. coz if pacify.. mission failed liao.. sian.
 
Auyo Astro, hehe.. dun worry, i will hold ur hand.. we support each other.. just remember, u r doing this for the good of Teng...but seriously i was thinking about ur case too.. dunno if u should CIO leh ..dun ah bish me hor..hehe but it seems like it might be good to just CIO to move him out of his current comfort zone...hehe
 
star: hmm.. i have differing opinions here.. coz i read. (and u know my source one lah :p). that fully breastfed bbs.. when they are established on solids.. nearing seven mths like that.. they can tahan till 7am (assume Rae sleeps at 7pm) one. that's was why i inquired u regarding the structure of ur feeding. that other time..

and even if fully bf bb.. they wake at around 5 am - 6am.. not every 45mins .. i would suggest.. that u are sure that Rae is not hungry. before u attempt CIO.. pay attention to her feeding amount.. particularly solids.. coz that's what keeps bbs this age going till time they wake up..

of course can't possible do everything at one go.. coz all muddled up.. dunno which is the root cause (hunger or sleeping assoication).. hmmm.. can try elimate the night feeds first.. then attempt CIO ?

if u need extra help.. can lend u my GF book (sleep guide).. take a look.. more reference materials mah
happy.gif
 
starfruit: ya.. let hold hands lah. si bei sian.. i mean these kind of things also CIO??!!! other bbs do AUTOMATICALLY.. teng must make him cry to move?! what is this man?? *curse*
 
Starfruit,
I scold him cos he naughty at meal times. He doesn't want to sit in his bumbo n eat and keep arching his back and trying to get out.. i feel it's not that he is full already, cos he can still eat but he just keep moving.

Astro,
a thought suddenly came to my mind. maybe all of us should bring our kids out to the shopping mall one day and let them sit on the floor and scream together... hahahahah.. that would be a sight!
 
star: then i think u want to train Rae not to direct latch or reduce direct latch frequency also hor? wah.. a lot of things u doing now ah? :p
 
star.. hello..

yalor, hope. how is constance?

Autum, dun slap EJ la. need to check if something happened to him and made him cried so badly?

star, as u know i dare not CIO at the moment. unless I can confirm that she is not hungry, not unwell, etc. If u think that rae is not getting enough in her last feed, then perhaps can try to latch for longer time? cause I cIO last time, but tian was underfed, without me knowing it. sigh! actually i din purposely CIO. i was too pek check, then just let her cry.. without any mental preparation. of course if youare prepared, then ok la. i was nmot prepared.

now i try to think of this, i feel sad. i dunno that now she dun cry for milk, is it because i CIO before or not?
 
Astro: ya i agree with u, i will do it one step at a time.. the past three nites, i have been slowly trying to elminate her nite feed.. she goes to bed at 8pm and i feed her once at 1am.. after that, another time at 3 or 4am (i call this the killer feed), i have been cutting off her 4am feed.. seems like she is ok leh.. but the first time i cut off her 4am feed, she was so hungry she can't wait to latch on at 7am.. (usually her 1st feed is at 7:30am).. so i am now slowly trying to elimate the 1am feed as well.. need to test out a bit and see how. She has always have a small appetite, so now i am slowly building it up but cutting back some feed in the day so she can eat more solid too.
I plan to do this slowly, cannot rush, must prep first before i do the final CIO..hehe
Her solid intake reduce cos the last 2 days, she constipated again and i had to insert the supp.. so now me conditioning her body back.. i must make sure she well fed, not ill or suffering from any discomfort before i CIO!
 
Autum: haha! good idea! .. then can we charge the audience for watching?? like treat it as performance and pass the hat round?! . then after that can go posh restaurant makan.. and sayang the bbs for 'a job welldone' liao!!!! whahahaha!!!

hmm let's scare michelle a bit.. they will fuss more as they become increaingly curious and want to explore.. so now good time to insist on discipline.. if wondreing when the good time to start.. like just now. teng absolutly refused to sit on his high chair.. want my mum carry him and feed.. i FORCED him to sit down.. arch his back till want to break kind.. STILL must sit.. then he bo bian .. guai guai eat.. then fuss again.. then ok lor.. no more eat.. go sleep!!

wah.. so drama every day. sian..
 
lunch time quick quick post, no time to read.

Christmas Gathering
How is it ha? no pic no sound, still on?

autumn,
Is my ON with you? Where you stay?
 
astro,
suddenly i think of this.
maybe u get a pretty meimei and sit near to Teng. maybe he will crawl over.. all his toys cannot move one, not intersting.. put a pretty meimei there and try?
 
star: ya. one step at a time.. once u reduce all these night feeds.. Rae will have better appetite in the day liao
happy.gif
one thing at a time lah..

alamak .. constipated again?
poor RAe, poor star
sad.gif
u steady.. dare insert the supp. i wun have the guts to do so.. teng sure scream like hell kind..!

Hi
I am conducting enriching baby activities for babies under one year of age.
Lessons will be at my place, with max. 5 babies.
Each half hour long lesson will include
- Simple exercises to enhance motor skills and development
- Sing-a-long fun times with exercises and simple instruments

As these activities are for babies of under 1 yr, parents are required to sit in.
I am undertaking early childhood education program part time and have compiled research to come up with simple activities for babies.
As I am not qualified as yet, my charges is only $10 for a half hour session, once a week, in the morning when baby's more active.
Doing this to gather fund for my upgrade in childhood education program, cos currently a SAHM with no income.
As we will only be in the activity room, no worries of child safety.
Pls email me [email protected] any enquiries you have.
Thank you.
 
QQ: WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA!!!!!!!!
ok.. then i must fast fast arrange an outing for all the march mummies with bbgirls ONLY! sorry ah.. mummies with boys.. u all are banned from this outing :p coz cannot have other boys around to distract the bb girls. Teng must have their sole attention to move..!

i would be eternally grateful to QQ if this idea really work! :p
 
QQ: ya lor, i also scared i interpret Rae's signl wrong and then she suffer from my CIO attempt..scared scared..no joke to let bb cry so much leh..
Actually i can sort of tell when she wants milk or when she just want me to carry to help her back to sleep... if she just want me to carry, she will immediately fall instantly back to sleep when i carry her from the bed, but if she is hungry, she will keep crying for like a min or two and will only quite down after i feed/latch her. So i know roughly she needs milk at 1am and another milk feed at 3 to 4am.
Diff to latch her long at the last feed, she wll turn away when she is full.. i think like Tian, she has a tiny stomach, thats why need to feed more often (be it milk ot solid)
What is past is past, dun dwell on it too much lah, just remember that how tian is today is not cause of your failed CIO lah.. cheer up k.

Autum: Maybe when he fuss, u wanna just give hima toy to distract him? slowly train lah.. i read that BB this age gets distracted easily and they dun want to waste precious time strap to a chair eating, they wanna crawl around and explore. Or alternatively, can feed a bit faster although i am not sure if feeding fast is good for their digestive system.
 
star, i support u. must make sure rae is not hungry or unwell first.
by the way, u cut day feed in order to increase her solid? maybe day feed cut liao then she is hungry at night?

hope SQ's CIO is a success then can motivate us again..
 
edde, interesting mummy..
can join them if i stay northeast.
happy.gif


astro, outing?? haha! tian is in.. haha! we all go your place la. haha!

star, i think Rae has mini little stomach too.. next time they all grow up and slim slim & nice cause cannot eat too much.. isn't that nice?
 
QQ: can.. can come.. come my place and catch flu virus.. want? :p

star: if u ever need extra reading materials.. just let me know.. me have quite a few.. haha :p
 
star: difficult to feed faster.. esp when u want them to learn how to chew and gum food.. every feeding time. me stressed.. coz teng eating lumpy food.. then scared if he take too long to gum.. he will short short then dun want the next spn.. one of these days. i going to die of heart attack!
 
Astro: Reading material.. i want leh... online one or books har?? books diff to pick up from u, i have been researching and reading up as much as i can. I have started a log, see how exactly how many times she wakes up and activity during the day (notice she waks up more if she is over stimulated in the day).

QQ: hehe.. i like the thought that they will grow up slim slim..hehe But i better make sure she won't turn out to be a picky eater in future.
 
Astro,
If one day Teng dun want you, you ok meh? Sure or not. later dun cry wor heehee
kao_biggrin.gif

I also dun want her to stick to me 24/7 I will go crazy but feel sad when she dun want my carry
Tot Teng can stand liao? no meh???? Thru what you descript abt Teng (he can seat there and play with his own finger and toe), think he is quiet type and not so active lei. You try to relax lah, sometime you want him to do he will not do but you gave up he will do lor got what I means?


QQ,
If I were you I sure scold my hb upside down one lor, vacuum so noisy bb how to sleep lei. Ops heehee dun tell your hb hor later he ah bish me.
Think my hb will not do that lah cos he will shut us up when Elisha sleep so my house is super quiet when Elisha sleep + hb around.
 
Astro: haha.. think Teng's appetite good, u dun have to worry.
BTW: i meant to ask u, what will u be teaching at RP, dun think u mentioned before leh.
 
Astro/pinkpink
Thks for concern! Happy child = Happy mama! Kaiser ok lor...phew....
Sometimes vomit might be a good thing..he vomitted the whole milk fed on Sun mrng & after tat, he turned for the better. Mom said it might be his stomach full of wind after his cranky cries..aiyo, my whole tee is full of vomit milk *yucky* but got to ren & tell him 'it's ok, dun be scared'..as long as he's fine, even though he shit on me oso ok!

babygirl, astro, when watching dvds, i try to explain and do the movements and singing tog (sesame street which i prefer). now whenever i sing the songs from sesame street, anthea will smile. think she prefers such dvds leh.. think i will do as babygirl practises, stop watching once she fidgets. babygirl, wat u said abt rite brain is true. this reason nvr come across my mind.

astro, anthea sticks the spoon handle deep into her throat wor. i scared she will vomit. if its the spoon part i let her mouth. hey QQ's tian can cruise wor..i saw it with my own eyes and i was damn impressed!! anthea sits up from lying 45 degree on pillow facing up. lower cant, lie on tummy worse, no attempt to sit up, she just flips over and lie on her back.

pink, anthea wakes up at 630am EVERY morn and wld want us to play with her. so my day starts at 630am including wkends.. *yawn* when she naps, i am too awake to go back to sleep liao... i really pei fu SAHM too.. its very tiring to look aft kids..

this wkend we spent lotsa quality time with anthea. and i realised she has gown up so much (not in terms of size and age). she is no longer a baby.. now she can "interact" with us, "tell" us her moods, likes and dislikes, and even zuo4 nong4 us sometimes.. so cute...

she just learnt to drink from her sippy cup straw yesterday, took only a while to figure that out.. when i saw her doing that, i shouted for my hubby in excitement and tears almost drop.. i wonder if i wld cry when she makes her first step
happy.gif
 
astro,
enjoy your section with PD k. heehee


star,
So sorry someone reserved liao, let me check if her again cos have replyed her before I saw your post. Paiseh sorry sorry.
 
QQ,
she is improving but always fuss when she see spoon. She prefer to eat with us so when we eat our lunch, dinner, she take her porridge. I upgrade her from cereal to porridge. I think she is tired of eating cereal. See how, hope can improve.
 
hope: good to hear tat constance is taking porridge. My gf's baby is the exact opposite from u, she gave porridge every day and at every meal till baby refuse to eat porridge.. till now when she is 6yrs old, she still dislike porridge.
 
QQ: wanna share with u, my yogurt is a success too, likepax, i added more starter culture..almost 2 times more than the req amt and i left the yogurt outside (it was quite warm the last 2 days) for 17 hours, texture just nice after i transfer to fridge and take out to eat today and surprising, its very tasty and not that sour at all.
Wanted to also say i saw ur sms this morning..paisay.. Cheerios's box is yellow in colour. so u manage to find?
