i prepared some lukewarm water in the bathtub wif few drops of bathing foam. then undress maegan, then put her seated in bumbo. use a small hanky to clean her face and head. aftewhich use a small cup type container and pour over her body. after tat is done, i carry her out and wash her backside with remaining water in the tub. wrap her with towel and we are done....
angel,

Hi Bena,
Glad to hear that you enjoy being SAHM & take care of your baby. I think its much more stressful than working, hee
During my ML, I always quarrel with my HB over small issues. I think my emotion was unstable if I confine myself at home & too occupied with my baby...
At work, I can linger around with my colleagues, time flies. I can be my own self again. Originally, I was quite reluctant to send my boy to infant care & intend to quit my job. After much consideration, I have decided to continue working. We need to build up our financial in order to give our son a good education in future.
To those mummies who are sending their babies to infant care, do you notice that your baby are more independent now? My boy is less attention-seeking & seldom throw his tantrums now. At night, I do not have to pat him or rock him to sleep. Just dim the light and leave him on his playpen, he will go to sleep by himself (as long as he has his pacifier & his smelly pillow). His sleeping time & waking up time are pretty routine now, so its easier for us to plan our outing during the weekends.

hi gingerleaf, u bb born on 1 oct, mine was on 2nd oct. she is overdue, suppose to be a sept bb (edd: 20 sept) but she "refuse" to cm out, at the end try induction still cannot so c-sec after 8 hrs of induction.
re: weight
juz to share - my pd told me that for the 1st-6th mth, bb weight shld increase 1kg per mth (i.e. from birth weight 3kg, 2nd mth shld be 4kg....). my bb was born 4kg so now at 3rd mth she weights 7.1 liao, so not too worry whether underweight or overweight.

Re : feeding spoon
Actually I've been feeding water to Zac with unsterilised feeding spoon. I just use hot water to rinse the spoon and bowl before feeding him. So far he's alrite. I have a few friends who doesn't sterilise the feeding cutleries for solids too and their babies seemed fine. They just wash the cutleries with warm soapy water. I think the environment Zac is in is not very sterile in the first place as he puts everything in his mouth so I'm not so concerned abt sterilising his feeding equipments, with the exception of milk bottles which he doesn't use. I think as our babies grow bigger, their immunity against diseases is stronger..

Hi darmae,
Do you put a mat underneath the bouncer? Last week, my boy was too excited & jumped too aggresively inside the jumperoo. I think he hit his toes hard on the floor and he cried.. After that incident, I put a towel on the floor where he can jump safely without hurting his toes..

Hi Bena,
You are right!! My gal also puts everything into her mouth!! From hands to feet to soft toys..no problem so far!! As a hokkien saying goes "Lap 1 sa4 jia4, lap 1 sa4 duo" meaning, if u dun grow up in a clean environment, its easier for u to adapt to "unclean" environment when they grow old. Therefore, i dun really sterilise her pacifier, maybe once a day?

re: sterilizing
i also didn't realise need to use bottle detergent to wash bb bottles/teats - till yesterday one of my colleague told me that it's a must to do so. furthermore the way i sterlize my bb things also like following the old method(impart from my mum - only sterilize once a day), so yesterday faster go buy the detergent and thoroug wash all the bottles/teats - wow they are so clean after 3+ mths never use detergent
my bb must be thinking, wow lau this mother so horrible, let me use so dirty thing for drinking, lucky i ok....

i realise is oily oily inside (with my EBM), but i juz used my normal dish washing detergent and wash clean clean then put hot water lor (for sterilizing).
re: sterilizing
how all mummies sterilize the bottles/teats? i juz throw everything inside & fill the pot with tap water then bring the pot to boil, once got bubbles, i switch off the gas and leave the things inside for 5 mins then take out and capped it. is this the correct way? my colleague told me must NOT boil the bottles/teats - cos plastic give out chemical once heat up. can only boil a pot of water, turn off the gas when bubbles, then throw everything inside, cover for 3-5 mins, then HAVE to take out liao......oh my gal hv been taking all sorts of chemical inside her tummy liao....

Emily,
Me too
1st 2months quarrel with my hubby alot due to difference in expectations. Now sorta better liao though sometimes still bicker a little
But i think it gets better as we learn to understand baby and also align our expections with our spouse. Plus I do get quite good support from my mum and can pop by anytime I'm tired so I feel quite alright
Now I have alot of time for myself to do what I like and I can also bring Zac out anytime I want since he doesn't really follow a routine and sleep and eat whenever and wherever we are. But certainly what I miss abt work is the paycheck! I didn't have many good colleagues to boast abt so no loss in that department
For now, I'll leave the tough job of bringing back the bacon to my hubby hahaha...education fee - let Zac self sponsor himself if he wants an overseas degree or postgraduate paper in future. Else local U should be quite affordable lah.. if not use CPF lor
If otherwise, I'll return back to the workforce after I spend the first crucial 4-6 years of his life with him cuz I may want to home school him these 6 years, with supplementary classes elsewhere.

Ben mum, they say babies with slower motor skills are smarter leh. Cuz they use their brains more than they use their limbs mah. Dun worry abt your baby not grabbing things yet lah eventually all babies will learn to grab, crawl, sit, walk, run and talk back to you. By then you will be wishing you have the peace you have now with them as helpless as they are now
Bubu Mama, your baby is growing well what.. it's ok lah.. no need so clean one.. last time people also dirty dirty grow up. Last time where got steriliser and boiling one.. Just rinse and feed only. They say for a 1st child, if pacifier drop on the floor, mummy will quickly sterilise it before letting baby use it again. 2nd child mummy will just rinse it. 3rd child mummy will just use her hands to sweep away the dirt and pop it back into the baby's mouth.. all children survived
You are already doing a great job giving birth to your baby and feeding her so well.

Don't be so sad. At least u know now so u moved on from here. No regrets
Anyway, seem like i m the most "k-s" one. I wash with pigeon detergent, scrub and sterilise everything after each use. Better still, if left uncap or unused for more than 3/6 hrs respectively, i will re-sterilise.
Even brought steriliser to work (another at home).

Hahha actually agree with Bena, sometimes I think I'm too anal abt washing and sterilizing... Think 1st child is like that lah..tend to be more 'kiasi'. I read an article in the ST a few months ago abt letting baby be exposed to germs and grow up in a 'normal' environment so that their immune systems are stronger.
BebeNg,
You mean you are adding the cereal into the milk and baby drink from the bottle? I thought we supposed to add just abit of milk to the cereal and use spoon to feed the cereal? LOL!

Hi BuBu MaMa,
You shd consider buying a sterilizer, much more convenient to use. I think Pigeon is below $100. I am using Avent, slightly more than $100.

BubuMama,
Ya dun worry so much...your girl will probably grow up with a stronger immunity system than all our babies!!
My pigeon sTerilizer cost I think ard $90+ during sale..bought from Kiddy Palace. Its more convenient than using boiling water I guess...just place all the bottles and teats inside, add a cup of water and close the lid and press the start button. It takes abt 6 mins to finish sterilizing. But why you wanna buy now? Very soon no need to sterilize liao mah! hahah!
Bena,
Hahahaa ya I saw that joke abt the 1st, 2nd and 3rd child before. So funny!

gingerleaf,
My PD say can stop sterilizing when we start to introduce solids. Some books I'm reading say to continue sterilizing milk bottles till 1 year old (coz milk got more bacteria growth). I guess its up to you how comfortable and 'clean' you want.
