Baby's Bedtime:

jialat, i think doren's bedtime is getting later.
now on weekends, he follows our sleeping time, 12mn. sometimes later. he'll wake up as late as 10.30am for a feed!
next time when he is older, dunno how to bring his bedtime forward. what if he wanna watch TV program/DVD with us till very late???
also realise he sleeps longer on our bed!

i have PM un the other forum address

i did not post here as i scared ppl can just imitate one of the user name and apply for log in
 
Scorp: My baby turned 5 months yesterday. Babies need a lot of sleep. Something could be bothering your baby, some discomfort or a bad dream. Have to try to identify by trial and error. As for feed amount, my baby is also taking between 150 – 180ml per feed 5x a day.

Nining: I agree. They’ll get their come-uppance. I just feel sorry for all the people who don’t get the help they need because of these people’s behaviour…

Angeline: I think caretakers need to be octopuses… : )

Jete: No prob! Will definitely review stroller : ) As for Paige dating, my mum would say start dating during university, otherwise hard to find husband next time : )

An_gal: Actually, in my time, 7 years was quite understandable, ‘coz that was the waiting time for HDB flat. I was lucky, as hubby was literally stuck with his late parents’ HDB flat which he couldn’t sell, as BIL would have no place to live otherwise. Hence, I could get married without having to wait so long.
 
ytanhn,

Jete,

Nining,

True leh..if I drink less, my supply is less, like I am at work lor! Hardly got time to drink de, but I make sure lunch time I drink and pkt something back to drink also...so by evning whn I return home, I yield more..
 
An_gal: 96 and 97 were the property market peak. Min wait was 5 to 7 years...after the Asian Financial Crisis, there was an excess of HDB flats, so now no need to wait.
 
an_gal,

Ya, must be on very good &amp; close terms with our future DIL, else we gonna lose our son ah!! boo hoo hoo....... so sad!!!

Chatty,

" Ba jiao yu " ah!!

After all these holidays and hubby back from his trip, Ike is back to sleep in his own room (he was sleeping with me/us during my hubby's travel and the holiday trip) He slept still okie , from 10pm - 5am, then woke up.. I latch him on, then he slept again but kicking me out of my own bed cos now he wanna flip!!!! It's been few times oredi.. during our trip to jakarta, I moved to sleep on the spare mattress on floor (supposedly to put ike there when we're not in the room) then hubby was confused cos I went missing hahahaha.. I dunno why he wouldnt flip in his own bed.. perhaps he's afraid to do stuffs when alone?
 
an_gal,

Kind of lor but hor my mum help me look after our son, of course we spend more time at my parents house lah!
Ya, keep our finger cross man!

How soon can we start letting our lil' ones swim in a pool huh?? I scared the chlorine too strong for thier skin...
 
An_gal,
my hubby said dont wanna Ike be mommy's boy kekekek.. Daddy's gal is cute but mommy's boy is pretty sad he said :D silly man
 
An_gal,

he said if we have a DD, he can make bf's life difficult then his DD will not date until big enough to get engaged :D

Daddies I think are very obsessed with their DD kekeke..
 
haha, so many defensive daddy..my hubby never think that far..only me think must train my DD well to let her marry a good man, and first of all must teach her what is good man and how to filter those bad apple..haha..mummy is bad taste but want DD to be better.

an_gal,

hi scorp

my baby's sleeping pattern is 8 pm to 7am. he wakes up at 11 pm, 2 am n 5 am for milk. morning 30 mins nap n another 30 mins in the afternoon. that is all. i am very concern abt his naps. 1 hr nap is really not enough cos i read somewhere that baby got to sleep to grow. but my pd keeps assuring me that it is ok.

hi ladies
today took titus all by myself to taka. wah!! so happy can shop while i push him in the pram. but end up didnt buy anything for myself cos i cant try the clothes. cant possibly put him in the fitting room with me

btw, anyone of you taken studio shoots with baby? any good studio to recommend?

sahm
i agree its fulfilling but TIRING. its 24 hrs! i told my hb n insist that he must give me my 13th mth bonus. he said he will tag it along with my performance bonus. hah! he jokingly said sahm also has got kpi (key performance indicator). they are, "baby's growth, health, behaviour, etc" .

also i realise that people alway have this perception that sahm is very free. that is what my mum's thk so.
 
Hi all my mummy friends who were looking for me these few weeks...sorry for not updating the forum...during the holidays i actually went back to my grandma place to have short stay. She doesnt have internet access there so i have no chance to go internet. OPnly yesterday then i back home and back to work so got too much things to do and settle down. I have no chance to log in until this noon adeline told me many were looking for me, ask me to update where i am. So sorry.....
 
The thread is running supper fast... me now pumpin... noon n nite session together...

Nining/Chatty/Ivy
Applause to u for speaking up for Sunbloom on the BP saga.

Wisely,
Thanks for the story!
happy.gif
At least it make me noe more abt a person...
 
oh ya,
cant remember who asked bout taking photo studio recently.. I did it in Bandung Indonesia. For 5 poses , 1 large print 16R plus the frame, 5 poses (not 5 shots, they took more than 3 shots for each pose) and the CD plus enhancement (editing) it only cost us approx $60 heheheheeheheh.. Sis will collect for me and send
 
nining, it's cin who mentioned abt photo studios.

cin, I'm also looking at taking pics for bb. Hve someone in mind, think he's pretty good. Lighted pixels, he was my wedding actual day photographer. Saw some of his work for kids, very cute. I'll be dropping him an email to check on his charges.
 
pooh_astro,
yaloh... i was fuming inside when my MIL said that and yet i still have to 'cake' smile to her.

zhuzhu,
when chloe was 2mths old, her hair all started to 'stand up', then everyday after washing her hair, i comb her hair down, so now become like this..

jete,
sometimes facing chloe 24/7, i also run out of ideas how to entertain her liao..

an_gal,
thanks.. realy burnt alot of midnight oil doing it &amp; my hb likes it very much. btw, any romantic kopi tonight?
happy.gif


bliss,
glad u enjoyed my blog.. my camera is 24/7 on my coffee table, any action from chloe, just snap.

hahaa.. tease ur hb with teochew. my hb is a teochew too but when he speaks teochew, 7 out of 10 words become hokkien.

angeline/an_gal,
i agree leh.. nowsaday trend, guys seem to be married out and become closer to wife's family and/or grandchildren are normally taken care of by the maternal grandparents. olden olden days DILs are not allowed to anyhow go back 'niang2 jia1' except CNY. duno next few generations will children take after mother's surname not hor?
 
hi ladies!
so many posts! no time to look thru..have been taking bb to his future carer's place since wed...then over to in-laws palce for dinner..only get home at 8...bathe yee heng and put him to bed, have my own shower, tidy up the house a bit and spend time with hubs then its sleep time already!! wah! can forsee this will b what things are like once i start work in feb!!! siong ah!

yee heng still waking up quite often for nite feeds, but tapering off a bit now..realised tt he sleeps better on the bed with me (hubs slept in guestroom last nite..couldn't tahan waking up so often anymore)...but gonna try to resist doing that tonite cuz dun want it to b a habit...

wanted to ask u mums who've bought high chairs already..what's the amount u've spent? and what did u guys get? yee heng is getting very interested in sitting at the tableside...and gets upset with us if we don't involve him! hehe...thinking of just buying the ikea hi-chair but it seems a bit hard..no cushion/mat for support le..
 
pooh,

cin, your hubby is really humorous sia... yet dying to get a beating from you right?? ;P The allowance thingy is something we have to get used to huh... really difficult to ask for money after being self-sufficient for so long. Now with my purse strings tightened, I find myself buying NTUC housebrands to save on a few dollars each month! Become auntie liao!!!!!!

jete, ytanhn, cin, we should pool our 'how to entertain babies for 4 hours straight' ideas together! Like an Idea Bank that we can all tap into! :D
 
zhuzhu,

I think Carters own website do not sell online but other websites such as Macy's, Target, JCPenny or Babycenter do. I am in Southern California now and there are Carters stores and factory outlets here. The prices of Carters are quite expensive imho if they do not have sales. I have pple telling me that they get 5 pieces at S$9.90 which is quite impossible...then realised that those were made in china...hmm...however those in US are of rather good quality. I bought some recently for my bb son and his bb auntie (haha...although she's still a baby but due to generation status she's my son's auntie) too. I love the Handsome bib esp hehe..here's a photo link to my purchases http://picasaweb.google.com/losalora/CarterSBabyClothing
 
ytanhn,

so envy your chloe's hair..ruoxi's hair is so little even after shave, initially expect she to grow more hair after shave but seems no use, wont shave for her again liao..

an_gal,

agree that better dont choose too stressful job, that's for ppl without kids, after hv bb and esp bb so small, we need job that can go back home on time..
happy.gif
 
btw, Angeline/leooh,
our leap frog books bought from catz arrive liao..when u want to collect it from her house?I going today afternoon.
 
ytanha

chloe is really pretty...i love her smile, and she look different from her 2 mths photo...become a pretty gal liao
