an_gal,
just doing what i can for her....as long as she likes it, get clement's support i am ok to feed her as long as she wants...
but i really feel, if we want to breastfeed for long-term, husband support is very important and got to ignore all the nonsense from the "san gu liu po"

Moo Moo is back now!
Wiselyn..
Bravo u! working and yet can bf for so long..
I wanna follow you and Jang. Bravo breastfeeding mummies!
I am gonna stop work end Jan (confirmed with my boss already), so hope to do total latch and only pump in the morning.. By then I could be very busy with housework and kids, I dun think I have much spare times to pump milk during the day..
Btw, my boy is on tbf and latch on at nite, he still wakes up like twice per nite to drink milk.. so tiring.. is latch on bb like this?
How bout clara previously?
I remember Meg doesn’t wake up for nite feeds when she was 6-8wks old…

I guess mine is his pattern already, he latches on one full B or sometimes empty 2 Bs at about 10 (his sleeping time), so no reason for him to be hungry rite… It is tiring coz I dun want him to co-sleep with me, so I will always make sure to put him back to cot after finishing.. that makes me tired!

Jia Yio!! Actually it is fun if we dun need to pump at nite hahaha.. I hate the nite pumping session..

Wiselyn,
u are still breastfeeding! hi5! i find that its quite a stigma to breastfeed toddler.
ppl around me and even strangers always say must wean off.. so big already.. blar blar blar... doesn't really help when Jae looks like a 3-4 years old..
same as u, lucky hubby is supportive...
whenever i bring Jaeden out in a stroller.. to market or shopping, strangers will even comment: "wah.. so big boy already, must come down and walk". Haiz... Jae is only 26... going to 27 months... is not too old, right? Besides, Jaeden practises selective walking, he only walks at Toys R Us, Bear workshop.. etc (his favorite places)

jang,
dun care what people says..as long as you are comfortable breastfeeding, then just continue...
Clara loves to walk and without a stroller..i dun have the same problem you have regarding stroller, on top off that, Clara doesn't really like to be carrier now...so she is walking alot

Haha.. clement is so good to help u move clara.. my hubby is sleeping like a log, and I also dun want him to wake up just to help me move Kea to cot since I am awake, I might as well move him back myself..
Jang, wise
Guess most hubbies are quite supportive of bfg if both the mom and kid are comfortable with it.. I like the feeling when bb is latching, never had such feeling before coz meg was never a latch-on baby.. so now everytime Kea latches, I feel very strong bonding with him hehe..
Re: stroller
I dun like Meg to walk by herself, coz she will kepo stop at every shop she likes!
Jang, Jae is just slightly bigger than other kids, ignore wat ppl say, do what you deem suitable.. we cant be forever listening to ppl’s comment to live rite?

mrg mummies
Rem previously I mentioned my mil volunteered to look after #2??
Well yest she turned back on her words and say we shld get a maid instead cos it will be v tiring for me to look after 2 kids, cook after work and still need to clean the hse..
Also she even suggested I fix up cctv and get my dad to travel to my place to look after the kids and the maid...
wtf

Nining,
u can email me at [email protected] hows your toe?? It must be damn painful..I remember my big toe had a hairline crack b4 and I was already in so much pain...till today that toe cant bend..(its been 3years)yours must be so much more painful!
cola,
Well, if given a choice I would want to be a sahm then I wouldnt need a maid but Im not as lucky as u...cant afford to be SAHM and my contract to work 2.5days a week will end in Feb so gotta go back to full-time after that..my parents cant take care of my kids 5days a week as they also need to go and earn $ as I still have 2 siblings one in Pri 1 and one in Pri 4 that my parent still have to provide for and I cant stop my parents from working cos I cant afford to give them the $ the need to sustain the family..so as much as I hate the idea of having a maid..it looks like I dont have much of a choice cos hubs is not too keen on infant care as we have seen a few infant cares when Mathias was born and its tough for the teacher to take care of 3-5 babies alone...some are bound to be neglected..so he feels that getting a maid will be good since he is hardly ever at home due to work commitments as he works 7days a week and he does 12hr shifts.. but he work shift also good cos there will be days that Im at work and he will be at home till 3plus...so only certain days the maid will be at home alone but my elder sis and parents will come to check on her as and when and we'll also tell our neighbour to help out cos they work flexible hours so they are home quite alot..
zz,
oh no..your MIL is like mine!! only thing is mine last time take care of Mathias until I went back to work then show pattern..during 3mths maternity she stay with me..no problem..cos I take care of Mathias mah..then after my ML I went back to work suddenly say here pain there pain, no freedom, she want to go travelling..etc..thats y in the end I started to work 2.5days a week...I hate this kinda ppl..first, agree to take care then suddenly change their mind..what kind of grandparents are they??

slightly better now..but she still has it daily..but at lest her cries are not as terrible as b4..at least now once in awhile theres a chance of her being soothed when I carry her..previously even if I carry or rock her or whatever she still cry until very poor thing...

Ic.. since your maid wont be left alone most of the time, then it might worth to get one, at least u got relatives and neighbours that can also help out sometimes to supervise them..
For me, I got no choice, no relatives and I cant be leaving my kids with maid without supervision, like I mentioned I am scared that the maid might just go crazy and throw my kids down the flat..
If I have no choice, I would opt for cc/ifc.. this is my personal situation which is very different to yours.. yeah, so whichever suits you best and you have the best interests of your kids at heart, just go for it.

Hm.. u try for 2-3mths who know this may change your mind and turn to sahm..
Choco, Glee
It must be quite bad for you to hear your kids say that, I cant imagine.. My Meg still prefers me no-matter wat, so far she never told me such things yet..
Only when I smacked her, she will cry and go to Ama..
Anyway they are still very young, and they dun really understand yet.. they will go to whoever that wont scold and spank them..
Nining
Hehe.. I can imagine sitting there and concentrate on every kid who is coming your way to protect your toes hehehe
