astro mix mix.. not exclusive bm.. she is on bm, and also formula. partial la. not enough milk liao. wanted to stop, but this and that came in. sian then drag. i told yself not to pump yesterday cuse she seemed recovered for a week liao, then today rash. ok, just now i guai guai go pump. for her benefit. sigh!
what i eat ah? i basically eat lots of things. anything. etc etc. never track well well... maybe..
 
Astro,
i dunno if my gf's bb got gek or not.. but i feel that in her anxiety, she has made things worse.. but i dun dare to tell her leh. her bb used to drink normally (150ml).. then ever since he can take semi-solids, she has been giving him lots of fruits, plus some cereal etc.. then because of that, she worried he can't drink too much milk.. so his feeds now all haywired.. at night must wake up twice a night to drink milk and each time like drink 30ml or 60ml.. faint! and despite all the fruits, he still poos every 3-4 days.. but I dunno how to tell her to adjust leh. then she got maid, so I suppose leave quite a bit of feeding/changing to maid so maybe that's why she don't find it so siong.. but i just feel that shouldn't be the way leh..
 
astro, ya lah, sun so malu, all babies having fun but she weh weh weh... alamak. also becoz she cant crawl lah, so she is like immobilised lor... i encourage her to crawl but she weh weh weh want me to carry her.. sigh.. i gave up.

kinder private class very difficult leh.... not enuf pple to form a class leh.. so far only 3.. i put anthea on waiting list for jan class. wait till teng is well lah, then u try yr luck to form a class. maybe aft more mummies try out kinder there will be more interested mummies then. i like yr timing, gd for anthea too.. hopefully yr pte class can pull thru lor..

QQ, she is getting more and more superglue, only allow me, hubby and nanny to carry, other pple all NO. very jia lat. i think i must train her, let her cry.
 
edde,
sorry if this has been discussed till death before... but i need to ask again.. Kindermusik do what hah? cos I realised that EJ responds very well to music.. when there is music, he will "dance" haha.. so i think I may want to expose him to music leh..
 
I've just experimented with goat formula yoghurt. Let's see how it turns out tomorrow! Hee hee.

Enne,

Nope I haven't see gynae, too lazy and dun want to spend the money. Actually my "da yi ma" also haven't come yet, so long liao... oh well.

Babygirl,

You can try Dr Suess books. Not bad also. Then also the rabbit one, the "Do you know how much I love you?" or something. Actually there are many nice books there. I felt like buying everything!
 
re: DB porridge
i dun think got any correlation lah.... dun bother abt what my mil says, sometimes she just wanna pick on a reason one.... i've decided to selective "listen" to her comments, else i will go crazy.

QQ,
i think you are fortunate leh, got a hubby to come and disturb you!!! sometimes i also want my hubby to disturb me, but he doesn't leh.... hahaha.. next time, tell your hubby being a mini wife is good, cos always get pamper and always get to spend $$... hahahaa

astro,
wow, your hubby really good mood leh, anyway he got "heart" for you lah, else he will go to taiwan already.... ;p
 
mommies...

i almost burst out in tears... bel cried badly when i go bath... (was bathing halfway liao) den sil come into the room carried her up... i not sure wad cause her to cry so badly... but i think her pacifier drop and no one put it back for her... normally i onli do it once in the nite... just pop back into the mouth, den she can go back to slp... today i bathing, so sil don noe, just pick her up, maybe she got shock? den she cried till "hey ku" and choke herself... don noe how to help her... i just give her lots of water... and she choke even worst... nearly cannot breath... don think i can slp well tonight... worried she might stop breathing... till now she still phanting(spell like this?) ... she is sleeping liao...
 
autum: ur gf's bb is not waking up in the night for feeds leh. any feeds below 60ml can be dropped. ur gf's bb waking up because of sleep assoication. need suckling to go back to sleep..

also advise her cut down on fruits lah and cereals.. fruits too much fibre constipating.. cereals def constipating.. intro some carbo, protein lah.. and because she's ur gf.. must tell her
happy.gif


edde: hmm.. think if no pple here int.. also can start private class, at msot meet other new mummies lor. no problem also right?
happy.gif
and yalah.. i malu until i no reaction liao..whey.. dun train Anthea to be tough and let her cry , can? coz now not their fault for seperation and stranger anxiety leh.. part of their cognitive development.. not their fault,necessary for survivial mah. can't let any tom dick harry bluff and got carried away by a lollipop/smile right?. think this one.. no choice.. got to let her feel secure.. else feel not fair to the bb.. imho lah..

u went which level? teng went level 3.. so still can 'walk'. not so bad..
 
michelle,
you dun like to hold hands huh?? aiyo, i tell you hor, i like very much... hahaha me ki siao liao.... must go grab my hubby's hand to hold...
 
mist! haha.. i want to type out everything. but i lazzy leh.. another day lah. :p

Yvonne: when bbs cry, dun give water.. will cause choking to be worse.. watch over her.. i think she is alright lah
happy.gif
 
edde,

Yar, babies now starting to have stranger anxiety. But dun try to force them to get close to others if they dun want to. I remember reading something about they will then be unable to say "no" if later others make them uncomfortable. (...you know, some people are really not in the right mind...) I feel we should also respect their feelings, if they really dun want to socialise just leave them be lor. My MIL always like to tell me how her eldest daughter will SCREAM and act like she got a terrible fright if she even see the back of another person other than her, one SIL and her MIL. And it is not even a stranger but another SIL living in the same house. So I guess, unless it is VERY VERY severe, we should just leave them be. I mean, try to get her to warm up to the person first before thrusting her right into their arms? My ger goes to my mom's place every weekend or more and she always act like my mom's a stranger for the first 30 mins or so but after warm up liao, she is fine. Recently I think it got better, she can let her carry liao after we step into house after a short while but if we hand her straight into my mom's arms, wah... machiam we going to abandon her forever. Think they still learning about object permanence and stuff like that. It's normal...
 
autum,
re kindermusik:
if EJ loves music, u can enroll him to this class... cos most of the time we do is singing... and when we sing to our babies... we calm them down... at the same time, the activities we do, help to stimulate them...
happy.gif
this is wad i feel la... veri good bonding with baby... *maybe tts y she become koala bear now? haiz...
 
mejo,
do u noe, bel is treating mi like a stranger now? i m veri sad... she onli wan my mil, which she seldom see her... so today, i let her cry... just ignore her... i m so sad...
 
Yvonne,
Bel has calmed down liao rite.. then don't feel so worried okie.. maybe she just feels a bit scared just now.. baby forgets things very fast one.. once they finish crying.. then it's ok liao.

Thanks for info on Kinder.. hmm, is it must carry bb and swing around one ah? I no strength leh! haha.
 
Astro,
hmm, i probably seeing my gf this sat, will talk more to her.. but i scared she feels i may not be qualified to tell her things leh.. cos EJ no constipation problems mah.. and he also takes cereal.. hey, i was wondering, isn't cereal also carbo?
 
autum,
yes... must carry and swing or dance around the studio!!!! i sprain my back.... their normal class is more xiong den trail class... tts wad i feel... cos trail, u onli get to play those activity around 5min, so u noe wad the class is doing... normall class, dance and turn here run there for more den 10min... i almost fainted... lol...
 
astro,
she cry till her throat veri dry... almost to choking liao... so i quickly give water... i don noe baby same with adult anot... cos mi myself sometime also cry till like tt... so need water... lol...
 
autum: ya.. cereal carbo lah. but got other forms of complex carbo mah.. like potatos, pasta, millet etc... dun always cereals mah.. expose bbs to more variety other than just cereals alone right?

sometimes i feel not qualified or not qualified.. it is the thought of sharing to improve a situation which counts.. rather than standing by doing nothing. but again becoz of this.. i am labeled a kpo lah. but if can help, why dun help? that's another guiding principle which i live my life by.. of course welcome or not is another matter lah..

mejo: ya obect permanence..and edde: it's normal, just bear with it. by 1 yr it peaks.. and by 2, should fade..:p
 
astro,
hahaha.. you rest well first lah, when you regain your energy first... me go sleep liao... i also got things to complain, but guess i will do that tomorrow, else cannot sleep tonight due to anger!!! hahaah
 
yvonne: next time let her cool down first.. else when she gasping for air to breathe and cool down. feeding water to her might cause the water to go down the wrong airway. and make her choke..

dance more than 10 mins..? ok.. i need miser to be there for EVERY class liao..
 
Yvonne,
huh.. swing until sprain back! wau lau.. then i sure cannot one.

Astro,
actually i keep telling my gf that if her bb poos every 3-4days, then that is normal for him.. but she still worried lor. I will definitely try to talk more to her when i see her this Sat. hmm, so is it eat cereal will constipate but eat complex carbo like potato n pasta won't constipate? I am a bit confused.
 
before i read all the posts, i want to post some exciting BPs...kekeke

astro,
yes... ask ur hb to wait outside the door, den can switch after u feel tired...
happy.gif
there are mommies doing this... but hb have to wait outside... not in the studio...

autum,
yes... swing till sprain my back.... i need more CALCIUM liao... i realise i m not as active as compare to last time... last time i can go club and dance for more den 3hrs non stop... now, 10min sprain my back...

anyone experience knee pain? my knee always veri pain when i walk... after walking for few hrs, start to have blue black... wad is happening? should i go see dr?
 
autum: cereals is a form of complex carbo..cause it is processed from oatmeals, rice, brown rice etc. so are potatos and pasta..
complex carbohydrates : http://www.weightlossforall.com/complex-carbs.htm

but unlike potatos and pasta etc, cereals esp for bbs comsuption are normally fortified with iron.. and it is the iron which makes it constipating for the bbs if eaten frequently.. as compared to the other 'natural' complex carbo which has 'less' iron 'added', cereals are by comparison constimpating liao.. get my drift?
 
Pink,
this Funshotz Only-U package is their normal price.. not promo. Add $10 for each adult, yes, that's what Cindy (the Funshotz lady) told me. Not too long ago, my colleague went there and her package was better... in terms of value for money. My colleague's session was 2hrs, for 3 (or maybe 2, i can't remember) adults and 1 bb, price only $238, but add $15 per adult. This Only-U is for 1hr only.. so I asked her if she can give me the same packagage as the one my collegue got, she said that one promo over..
 
yvonne: alamak.. so 'exclusive' one ah? change name liao lor. "kindermusik --movement and dance for bbs, slimming classes for mums"! jialat liao.. sian..
 
astro,
ya lor... SLIMMING...or should say GYM!!! but not veri good for body lei... the "WEIGHT" i carrying is not the right one... TOO HEAVY FOR MI...
 
Pink,
alamak, i just realised that from 1 Dec onwards, the Only-U package, they don't give the photo-book anymore! If that is the case, then I won't go to them liao.. cos if like that, they are quite expensive... u see if u can still get her to give the package with the 5R Photobook (40pages!)

Astro,
okie.. understand.. so it's fortified iron.. thanks!
 
autum: also also rice is a stool binding food wor.. coz BRAT diet for diarrhea (banana, rice, applesauce and taoat) so too much rice cereals def no good lah. night
 
hmmm .. so avocados can help to allievate diarrhea.. ok.. so tomorrow teng can have avocado with applesuace liao.. heehee
...ehh..jialat. am i talking to myself again?
 
sorry sorry
BP for payeasy items

autum
i emailed funshotz, see what they say.
i guess u are right, difference in expectation. i try to compromise but sometimes just cannot help it. for instance, leia is having cough (her voice changed) and bad running nose, here i am worrying away while he's still in office. i mean i hope he will be more ganjiong but probably he feels bb getting a little sick is common, and maid and I can take good care.
Tho' QQ or your hubby are always away for trips, i think they made it up by caring a lot or giving in a lot. to me, little time spent or distance away is not the issue, but there must always be a feeling of being cared.

but im feeling much better after the argument, today for the first time he waited for me while the guys went for dinner, and he's also planning for a banyan getaway with me.

Astro
i read Man are from Mars and Women are from Venus long long time ago, guess i must dig the book out to read.

I love you but Im not in love with you is written by ANdrew G. Marshall.

your bangkok incident shows tat your hubby does give in to you..actually i seldom seldom throw temper..my hubby is sagi, im librian.

Hey Pax,
afterall its a ten year relationship, cannot just give up like that. here's more about the book:
couples described their prob as: I Love you but I'm not in love with you. Why were these rships becoming defined more by companionship than by passion and why was companionship no longer enuf?

by looking at how a couple communicate, argue, share love, take responsibility, give and learn he offers in 7 steps a reassuring and empowering map for how 2 indivs can better understand themselves, strengthen their bond and recover that lost magic.

how about planning a trip away without the kids..
 
Autum: Can take fibre to ease constipation.. the problem comes when u take too much fibre and dun drink enuff water. Then will make constipation worst. Some babies are mroe prone to constipation like Rae, but if ur GF's son is pooing soft stool and he does not straint o push the poo out, then no worries too, this is not constipation, just that bb only poos like 3 to 4 days.
If bb strains like a few times a day and no poo comes out or only just small hard pellets, then this is constipation.

Mist: me like u too, i want my hubby to hold my hands when we go out..hehehe i mean i dun openly display my affection in public lah (the kind that display until make other ppl paisay kind) but i think its nice to still hold hands when u go out. I think its very sweet when i sling rae and hubby holds my hand.. like a happy family..hehe.
 
pink: ok.. so it is that book afterall. coz the title in ur initial post.. is different. guess typo lah
happy.gif
.. i tink it's good to 'refresh' our memory on how guys and gals communicate so differently ..go dig out that book and read.. and what more ur man a sagi, even more freedom loving.. and dun show affection so much one..
happy.gif
..

and yes. misery virgo aka Miser does tolerate me.. hmm. think libra all more rational than messy piscean with all their emotions lah.. ehh. having just said taht.. leia is a piscean. so be prepared for some emotions on her part, however slight :p this girl will also be quite sensitive..

well.. at least he will plan a trip with u.. hmm.. think got to push miser a bit. but then he will say how come i so free dun do it.. aiya.. pisceans dun like all these mah :p

Pink: this book.. does it share any similarity to the men from mars, woman from venus? the prinicples they worked on?
 
star: haha.. virgo lah. shy, modest, reserved, dun like to be in the limelight.. jialat for man.. women. maybe less so. out of curiousity ah.. ehh. what sign is ur hb?? heehee.. jialat.. me machiam want find out al the signs of the hbs here like that :p
 
Pink/Pax: mine also a very long relationship pak tor in 98, ROM in 2000. today after our heavy topic, i ask hubby whether he crave for more alone couple time w/o baby (diff now cos i still direct latch and BF) and whether he will be jealous of my relationship with bb (cos i always tell him i cannot do w/o bb etc etc), but surprisingly he feel that we have not move on in our relationship, he thinks that if we spend too much of couple time together, it would not feel right, its now more Family time together (including baby), We are now a family unit, its now not just me and him anymore.
 
Astro: yes u are right, fresh apple and apple juice aids in moving bowels but cooked apples causes constipation. Its not just apple sauce, its cooked apples. So lets say u cook apple with chicken, this cooked apples if consumed too much, will also cause constipation. aiyo, me like constipation xpert now leh..heheh
 
pink: btw, when teng is not feeling well.. and miser too involved in work.. till whole day no sms that kind.. he comes home sure get it from me one.. i would say " dun u think u are a little too much? whole day not even a single sms? ur son not well lei. me superwoman again ah??".. then he gives me that guilty look.. but dun think i am asking too much.. just an sms.. can do that even when peeing right? they use only one hand to pee right?! duh...
 
astro: my hubby is a sagittarius leh.. i read some many sources when i first knew my husband(that time crazy lah), all exp one say virgo and sagi not compatible. What are ur views har?
 
starfruit: the complexity of the apple fruit..*Sigh* no wonder God forbids Adam to eat the apple! heehee else he diarrhea!! hahaa..
 


Astro: i think i opp from u , i dun wait for my huuby to sms, i call and track him down and "fan" him on everything on my side..hehehe
