ytanhn,
yeah... melcolm too.. din know that his "sucking skills" are so gd until i heard those "delicious" sound u mentioned haha..
 
nining
yeah, isetan and kiddy palace both selling same price as taising. think they are the distributor of combi products and prob thinks it's too troublesome to do retail?

i think your doggie wants you to buy a bumper mat for him too. i thought it was expensive and wont be used for a while but since my friend is helping me get one at half the price, i caved and bought it.

my girl prefers baby bjorn too to the lucky baby sling.

my girl is sleeping around the same time as yours. she'll nap/sleep and wake up anywhere from 11pm-1am for the last feed of the night, then she'll sleep until the next morning. i've never even tried doing the dream feed. if this works for her, i'm fine with it.
 
BB
yeah, with the baby bjorn baby will be in the upright position. my girl sleeps in it without fussing. when we're out, she likes looking around when she's awake and she'll just fall asleep when she gets tired.

yeah i think it's expensive too but since my friend can get a good deal for me, i decided to get it now.
 
Hi Lilyn, I was actually thinking of asking if they could combine our ordersAccording to my hubby, the exchange rate is currently S$3.10 = 1 pound, but since Ill have to pay with my credit card, it really depends on how much the rate is at the time the order is placed. (Ill simply take the credit card amount charged divided by number of bags). Lets see if we can get 4 bags within the next 2 daysMy hubby will be going on a business trip, so he can carry only a few dream bags, so cant do an all out spree.

Ytanhn: Youre welcome : )
 
Jete: Wow! How did your friend manage to get the bumper playmat at half price? Super worthwhile...maybe u should ask her to do a BP. She'll definitely get lots of orders, as every BP seems to have overwhelming demand...
 
pumping now while all is sleeping...

Loh, so funny, u still take pic when ur bb crying?! Hahaa..

ytanhn n an_gal, my bb also sceretly like to put her hand into her mouth. She do it quitely which look like she is covering her mouth or face. Tat y, me alw pop her pacificer into her mouth if she do tat or took her hand out. Better to wean pacifier instd of hand!

ocean,
now my boy start 2 reject the pacifier liaoz, he prefer his fingers haha.. however, the pacifier still work sometimes wen he cant slp..
 
woof
you would think that if the baby didnt sleep well in the day, baby should sleep well at night huh? if my baby didnt get good naps in the day, she will be hard to put down to sleep for the night and also during the night she will not sleep soundly.

one qn, what is the fastest way to thaw frozen EBM?

and after i thaw, can i put it in warmer for abt 1 hr before i feed bb?

i am startign work next mth, and my mother is helping to take care of bb. thinking what is the best way to teach her how to thaw frozen EBM and feed bb. cos when my bb wake up immediately she wants milk. a min later she will cry like mad
 
leooh
let us know how your night went.

i like the book too but havent been able to get my bb on easy schedule in the day. all her easy cycles seem so short. i need to sit down and take a look at her schedule more closely and see if there are any patterns. think basically she's a short napper in the day, so i feel like i keep starting a new easy cycle.
 
jang
yeah, a lot of pg ladies. everywhere i turn, i see a handful. my own sec classmates (closer friends only), we have babies due in aug, sept, oct, nov. all baby girls some more. we said our daughters can be classmates if they can all get into our school.
 
arghhh

had a terrible time between 8-11 trying to get enci to go into deep sleep.she cried so badly at one point i cried also,cos its so frustrating and heartpain.and i miss my hubby badly!

am wondering if she slept too much during the day.or maybe i'm misreading her cues.terrible!
 
chatty
thanks! we think she's lovely too.

my friend's friend is in korea for business trip. my friend contacted the company and ordered directly and have the mat delivered to the hotel to her friend. i didn't check out the BP but my friend said it's about half the price.
 
jete

i think must adapt to suit different babies.starting to think that it was easier last time when we simply fix her feeding times,then allow her to sleep and wake at her own timings,not following the routine.tomorrow i'll do that and see if she fared better.

am so apologetic to my sis cos she's sleeping in the same room.she basically can't sleep as well!
 
lilyn
thanks!

the one i have is carter's. the material is very nice and even softer after washing a few times. hubby bought 2 and we rotate them. my baby doesn't like her arms to be restricted so once she got older, she didn't like the swaddleme any more. i tried blanket on her but she'll just kick it off, and blanket is not that safe for young babies. this works to keep her warm in the aircon room at night and she can still freely move her arms and legs. she knows it's bedtime when i zip her into the sleep bag.
 
ytanhn
the positioner is ok. i wasn't planning on buying it but my mom was going to sandwich the baby with 2 bolsters, so i thought better buy it. 90% of the time it does keep the baby where i left her. haahaa

the other 10% of the time, start off i put her within the positioner, 10 mins later, another 20 mins later
 
an_gal
now that i've taken off paige's mittens, she's also sucking her fingers, but notice she sucks on them when she's hungry or when she's stress/upset about something.
 
chatty
think she contacted the company herself and her friend is hand carrying it back from korea for her. she asked the guy if she can sell it in sg but the company will only sell through distributor outside korea and each country only 1 distributor.
 
Pumping time..........

Leooh, dun be upset k. maybe bb senses ur anxiety, thus more cranky? maybe she misses daddy oso.

Garfield, go and take more sashimi to boost up ur supply again? Dun stress urself, i realise stress affects our supply too.

Aiyo, my hb down with a bad flu. Nic oso kena abit of fever fr the vacin, heng after taking 1dose of medi, he ok liao. my gal went for vacin too n was v cranky. fainz....got to take care of 3 babies tdy man.
 
jete

how does ur bb do that?? amazing!!!



leeoh
could it be wind??


inu
i thaw ebm in a big bowl of tap water. takes abt 1hr. then i will put in the fridge.
i dun think its a gd idea to put the milk in the warmer for 1 hr as milk grows bateria easier.
but i do it sometimes cos bb sleep after fussing and i read the cue wrongly.

my bb also cannot wait but i dun care, i will him cry. abt 4-5 mins to warm the milk.
y dun u let bb cry??
 
me bab mummy last night.

i didn't manage to burp bb at the 5am feed but i still put him to sleep.
at 7, he start to fuss, i thought it is milk time and i go n warm the milk but no, he puke 3 mouthful of milk. guess its the wind that makes him cry. (btw, i put the warm milk back to the fridge)

after 2 hrs, he can still puke the milk out...dun know is it painful for him or not??
 
Ng,

his birthweight is 4.025kg. Your boy does grow quite fast considering his birthweight. But from the photo, he doesn't look "michelin", so, still ok

Good morning ladies!

Last night I collected my handsfree and supershields...managed to fold clothes while pumping
happy.gif
Its great to be able to multitask...Isn't it amazing how a couple of strings and a rod can make so much difference?

For Ameda lactaline pump users, can it run on battery or must it always be plugged into a powerpoint? I'm still trying to decide between PIS and Ameda, and ability to pump while on the go is an important consideration.

Hi Jete: Last 2 weeks, my baby also started to rotate when he's sleeping just like yours. I think its a prelude to actual turning.

My baby also sucks his hand when he's hungry...that's when I know when to start preparing his milk.

Guess its always cheaper to buy from the mfg source...
 
an_gal,
wa u bought the yellow color bouncer?
mine is blue and rectangular instead of rounded in shape.

i never catch my boy sucking his fingers but whenever i smell his little hands, always got those "sng sng" smell haha!


Jete,
ur baby is active during her sleep ah?
can change so much of her position!
my boy always stays put at one spot except sometimes, he will glide up or down from his kicking.
that's y cannot leave him unattended on our sofa for too long!
 
Here's me Doren at my 12th week, Hello all mummies out there!
Hmmm... my clothes r getting tighter by the day

my boy also sucks his fingers..esp his thumb..i always tease him saying that ge's imagining that its a delicious drumstick!

oh! cant remember who was asking abt my boy's race, well, my hubby is punjabi n im chinese mix filipino..so i have no idea whats my son's race! :D
 
loh, love the shrek picture! it's hilarious!!!
happy.gif


ng, our babies look sama sama hor. hahaha...

mummies, Isaac also likes to like his fingers!!! hahaha...

dunno if all babies are similar, or issit that if they're born around the same time they're quite similar? we went to visit a fren who delievered one day after me, and we found that the two babies temperaments are all the same! its so uncanny isn't it. I used to think that horoscopes are nonsense coz how can the whole world be divided into 12 groups and all be having the "same sort of week" (if u know what I mean). But now... hahahha ... *shrug*...

by the way, how do we post the picture right in the forum? by using the "upload attachment" issit? I was trying to use the <img></img> link but it didn't work leh. wierd.
 
bliss,
yeah, i bought the bouncer frm kiddy palace.. during day time if melcolm don 1 2 slp, i will put him on the bouncer 2 entertain himself..

mayb doren is secretly sucking his fingers cos had tat sng sng smell haha.. btw, doren is really veri chubby !

chatty,
we had the same dino set for our baby..
 
Bliss, ur darling looks chubby too! Seems like Aug babies very "bu", all "pang du du" one! hahaha old people will like, to them, no such thing as overweight, the bigger, the better!

Inu, for thawing milk, i will put a few packaets of frozen milk in the lower fridge the nite before to thaw all at 1time. (if milk bags, easier to thaw, but if using glass bottles, it takes a long time). If the next day, still haven't completely thaw, i will put it in a basic of water to thaw. Thaw liao, then put all in a big avent bottle. As and when, feeding time, juz pour the required amt out to warm. Juz make sure all the thawed milk is consumed within 24hrs. hope it helps.
