Hi mummies,
YX's mei mei arrived on 8 Apr
Confinement is really tiring. Super hot weather and sore nips from bf and pumping... Getting emotional at times too. DH doing confinement for me and we ordered confinement food. YX staying over at Grandma's place for the time being. Really miss him but when I call him to chat, he doesn't seem to miss me at all...

You got any breast pump to help express the BM? Use hot towel to massage on your breast before you express...

taro,
mine was early by 10 days. it is definitely easier without #1 for the time being. I still have #1 at night time. maybe because #1 is girl, so now even more sticky...seeking for more attention.
SD,
Yes, have breast pump. yes, using both hot and cold pressure. but i remember #1 case, also took a while to ease the engorgement. So now I am not surprised the engorgement also last so long

yeah, planning a party with her classmates and some friends. thought will be nice since she's at the age when she can appreciate it more. once much older they won't want party with parents liao.
i'm about 5.5mth now.
cantonment close to my office. can lunch sometime.
janet
me not looking forward to breastfeeding issues when #2 is out. for me was opposite. hardly had enough milk. cried in the first month. then took it easy later and milk flow better. although still got to supplement with formula. in japan the milk powder will be double the price so am determined to squeeze milk out. hahaha.....
taro
i'm very impressed. thought of getting balloons to try out but scared of bursting balloons. hahah. me thinking of just ordering foil balloons. but think i still want to learn how to twist if not so hard. looks fun.
looking forward to photos of your girl.

Jeanyard,
Thanks! How's your job interview?
SD,
Thanks! YX only met his sister twice. Once at the hospital and once when my mum brought him over to visit.
Janet,
YX is also very clingy to me plus he's having a cough hence the decision for him to stay with my mum while me and DH try to cope with the new baby and the confinement by ourselves first. Now trying to establish milk lei but volume very miserable...
Lynn,
Go youtube to learn. They have a lot of tutorials!
Mylittlefriend,
Thanks! Are you the friend who brought sonny to my place before?

Dun fret about the milk flow..beginning is always less...I recalled it takes at least 2 weeks to 1 month to really establish the volume.
YX is attending full-day CC? So your mum will fetch him to & fro? Coughing problems seem very common among our kids..haiz...you got try to give him the Flixotide puff? It works well on my boy.
Lynn
Yes I am aware my new office quite close to yours..but then, I just realised that you should be on maternity leave by then I shift there liao...then subsequently, you will move to Japan?

You can get it from the doctor (any GP should have it) the puff (in orange container) as well as the Aerochamber to insert the puff. For more faster results, use together with the Ventolin puff (in blue container), also prescribed by the doctor..

taro, dhatifen only improves lungs condition, it acts like a tonic. but if you really want to open airways, then got to prescribe ventolin. Cookie was so serious most of the time he takes puff - breathe in the ventolin instead of oral.
he also takes chinese medicine which was really good but super long wait. sms me if you want the chinese doc contact.
re: interview
I went through all the round except the pay-discussion round. skipped HR round right from the beginning. supposed to wait for 2 weeks. *sigh* last time I waited and in return was rejected. now don't dare to keep my hopes too high.

Hello Mummies! how's everyone?
Congrats to Taro and Janet!
Taro,
dhatifen is a preventor...something like singuliar...so it is not to treat cough. Flixotide is to help with wheezing and is normally given together after ventolin. ...is YX wheezing? As mentioned, ventolin puff is good...it immediately opens up the airways. But hor, i suggest you bring him to a PD since he has been coughing for so long.... perhaps really need nebulizer to help get rid of the cough.
I was told by the medicine hall guy to boil pear with chuan pei and xinren...he says good to get rid of phelgm. I have personally never tried it before though....
but i always find prolonged cough a concern as you won't know whether the cough/phelgm has gone down to the bronchi area or lungs etc.... so best to get specialist to really listen to his lungs if possible.

re: cough for a month

re: interview

SD, Kash, Jeanyard,
Thanks for your advice. YX is now seeing chinese sinseh. Will continue to monitor him. He's better now so long he doesn't shout. Else will trigger the cough. If need be, will get contacts from you.
Smalldreams,
Thanks
Jeanyard,
Yes. Have to catch up with you all again. It's been sooo long since we last gathered.
Here's my little gal Jie(2) En(1) when she's 17 days old. More pic posted in my blog.

taro,
I want to see little one!! want to smell the baby smell leh. which area you stay? see if i'm free to pop by.
SpringD,
yah, see ppl left and you're still there doing farewells for others is really a sad thing cos in singapore, it's not a culture to stay in a company for long and those who job hope get high pay.
it's end of 2 weeks and I don't hear anything from the company which I went for interview, so really really sad.
maybe we can meet up and pretend to celebrate since same boat.
Kash,
Cookie has started school and he's more "discipline". Now Cabbage is going through the terrible two.

SpringD,
yah, didn't want to keep my hopes too high and now very happy that I got it although pay rise not a lot but compared to the amt of work, it's considered a lot.
Smalldreams, Janet
my heart is not that strong lah, but with the 2 kids, I am near to post-natal depression (I think we still get it sometimes, be it FTWM or SAHM). so the break will be good for me. anyway, won't be away for long, max 3 months.
re: shopping in US
heh, don't know if really have time to shop cos I'm the last batch to go and then got to rush back, so may be working most of the time. will be logging here quite often so let me know if you mummys need anything!
Baby_jay,

the agape is not bad cos not air-con. but teachers part I don't know.

Hahah... i think boys drink more. I remember Adam drank so much more compared to my lil A. My breasts not full as often as during Adam's time too...
How old is yr #2 now? Is she having congested nose? If you want you can bring to PD to make sure her lungs are clear. Then PD will just prescribe decongestant drops (iliadin), that's all. You're rite, no medicine coz too small.

My gynae said, BM doesn't make babies invincible, heh. But it does protect from a full-blown version of the flu, and also I believe the babies get well much faster.

smalldreams,
just came back from PD. Cough not too serious. no sore throat also. so maybe breast milk like u said does help from full blown diseases.
SD,
saw the name from a baby names book. My hubby likes the meaning of the name, ie. light. BTW, my hubby is a christine, that is why 'light' so meaningful. B means strong. both names are chosen based on meaning.

near Colorado. I don't really know where it is. will tell you when I reach there. now still in old company until next next mth. still have to go for visa.
Re: stubborn
Cookie is going through a terrible phase of ignoring us and food as well. the more we scold or beat him, he doesn't even cry or do what we told. soft approach tried and he'll just run away.
do i have to send him to any PD?

Baby smells nice! Btw, do you have msn?
YX is also a stubborn boy. He goes to hide when I scold him. Sometimes, he'll say he does not like us, wants to go ah ma's house. It'll pass. Don stress up too much. I'll just ignore him and when he calms down use a softer approach to talk to him.

Ya lor...quite worrying..like my house, daytime only one old (my MIL) and one young. Cannot imagine the consequences if anything bad happen! But my neighbour was telling me that the Polcie updated that many in various areas have been caught liao. Hopefully this will reduce their "activities".
Janet
Oh since your hubby is a Christian..this means you also have to be converted as one before your marriage is it?
JeanYard
Juz curious, so what will be be doing over at US? Is it research work, business development or a training course?
Nothing to worry about Cookie's behavious lar..all toddlers throw tantrums and some are just more stubborn.

how are you gals coping with yr #2?
You know, my Adam bought something through ipod!!! *faints*. He clicked clicked, then by the time he showed hubby, screen said ,"Yr purchase was successful". Today, hubby got the e-invoice... the game he "purchased" accidentally cost US$9.99!!!

For our case, the 'sharks' are targeting my next-door neighbour who is a innocent party also. They wrote a guy's name out their door and my neighbour 100% claim they do not know the person. So it seems the "ah long" got the wrong address or something???
