an_gal: No prob. I'll let you know once we get over the current spree. Right now a little swamped.
madleynette: Its quite normal. Babies are like us, they have preferences too. Some babies prefer BM, some FM, and some don't mind either. I guess you could try just waiting till baby is really really hungry, and she'll drink the BM. Plus latching on is a lot more work than drinking from the bottle. So if you're latching on, try feeding EBM, and see if there's a difference.
Jete: Gosh! U haven't booked yr flight? Most of the flights are sold out already...I had a very hard time getting mine. Whole of last week was panic time for me and hubby, coz our timeshare in Colorado was confirmed by Interval International, and we couldn't get the flights we wanted. Couldn't even redeem the 3 free tix from SQ with my miles, so ended up buying the 2 pairs of 2-to-go on SQ indirect. Originally planned on getting the direct flight. Now I'm dreading the indirect flight, coz my last few trips were via direct flight to LA...
James loves his stroller. Haven't put him in the carrier for ages...
My period came 2 days ago, so my supply has dropped to a trickle as well.I'm pumping shorter each time and reducing the number of pumps. Yesterday, I stopped lugging the pump to work. I only pump once in the morning and once at night. I should be stopping altogether by Monday.
James can't sit independently yet, though he can sit tripod style for a few seconds. He prefers to move by rolling around. Brought him to see PD, who felt that he was just a little slower in gross motor skill development, but didn't really feel that he needed help, though it would be a good idea to send him for tumble tots...I'm worried because I don't want his cognitive development to be affected, so we've been getting him to exercise his lower body more by placing him on the mat more often and getting him to kick more. Infantcare has been doing a lot of baby massage and exercises with him too. He's a lot more active and seems stronger since we started him on the "exercise regime"...
