Hi Chiangs,
Yes you are really blessed!! I totally agree with you on the part that babies need to be filled during the day otherwise they'll just make it up at night. I 'trained' Jade that way too by increasing her feeds during the day, and she started sleeping thru the night from 1 month+.
Hey Darmae,
You must be really tired waking up so many times at night to feed maegan! Maegan has switched day to night liao. Your MIL still not waking her up to feed her in the day? Oh btw, thanks for Baby Kingdom's number! Will call them later

Hi
Re: Diapers
Caelen has been using M size once he reached 6kg. Have tried Nepia M size - ok, but I really liked the NTUC brand of diapers. Cheap and good! Fits him well too
You ladies might wan to try... Esp with the rain these days, been using disposable cos' cloth diff to dry. Tried Prokids before too but it leaked a few times so gave up.
Hi Bena, if you are getting the float, can help me get one too? M size. Thanks leh.

Hi darmae, Caelen is still waking up every 3 hours at night too
Last night was 2am, 5.30am, and 6.30am. I read about filling him up in the day to make him last longer but he refuses to drink more than 3-4oz everytime. Even then, sometimes he won't want to drink after 5hrs. So I take the night feeds as a means to increase his calories so cannot stop feeding him at night
I am already resigned to waking up for long term liao.
Re: float,
You can try jing hong guang chang, 㳡, near huai hai road. My sister bought a similar float for me at 25rmb = S$5 only. She noes all the cheap lobangs as she has been working as an intern in shanghai for a yr, and she is a shopping queen.
RE: Sleeping thru the night
I totally agree with The Chiangs abt keeping her full in the day time. Thats why instead of feeding her at every 3-4hr interval, i feed her at every 2+ hr interval from 6pm onwards. Guess baby's stomach are still small, so cannot take much milk at one go.

Hi Peapod,
If Caelen is lasting more than 5 hours without a feed during the day, it means that he's physically capable liao..so you just need to make him do it at night rather than in the day!

Regarding feeds, actually now Zac is still latching on once or twice at nite. He sleeps from 8 pm -8am these days and when he cries in the middle of the nite, I don't know if he's hungry or just need some pat pat. But I took the easy way out and latch him so that I can continue to sleep. If pat pat, it'll take much longer and I have to wake up. Also it's too much work to reduce my supply at nite so that I won't have engorgement. And it seems like he needs less food in the day and can last longer between feeds because he takes at nite too. So I have more free time in the day. I think I'm doing it all reversed liao but it works for me now, though I think I might suffer once I wean him off cuz will have to wake up and make fm. So maybe won't wean him off so early..hahaha...

Benmum,
The aim is to get yr bb to drink his daily intake of milk during the day between 7am to 11pm (or whatever your waking up and bedtime is). So lets say currently yr baby is taking 720ml in total. If yr baby is waking up in the middle of the night e.g. 3am and drinking 4oz, then you can try to spread that 4oz out between the 6 feeds she takes, so give additional 0.5oz at each feed, or shorten the interval of each feed to 3 hours so that you can fit another 4oz feed before her bedtime.

Hi angel,
My sister is a shopping queen! She went from shop to shop. The price also ranged from 25 rmb to 100++rmb depending on where you go.
Hi Tiny Voice,
Pet pet can last abt 4-5hours in the day time (cos she drinks more in the day n would poo poo by that time). At night, can last abt 8 hours?

peapod,
welcome to the 'xiong mao' club. i really hope both caelen and maegan can consume more in the day and then dun wake up that often at nite. so we can have more beauty sleep.
but fm the rate my mil is gg, i think very diff cos maegan sleeps alot in the day. except for weekends when i'm around. but she fuss and become cranky esp when i dun let her sleep so much. however, 2 days (sat and sun) too short to 'train' her. then she has to revert to mil's style liao.

ben mum,
yeah,.. HB oso affected. in fact he has frequent headaches since monday due to insufficient sleep. mil super sensitive type... she's the type tat will go around telling ppl esp her daughters that hubby side me and not her. for eg. when she was cooking confinement food for me... hubby was juz telling her nicely to reduce the amt of sesame oil she used (becos its simply too much, the chicken seems to be swimming in oil lor). but she went and tell her daughters that i complained to hubby tat her cooking is bad. twisted the story lor. dun wan my hubby to be trapped in such situation.
i am considering infant care. however, hubby not that keen.

Darmae,
Ai yoh your MIL hor...really can *faint*! Ya I think weekend is too short... I think maegan will be very stressed if you try to 'train' her during weekends and then only to go back to your MIL and kenna 'train' back again. Poor girl will be so confused haha!
BenMum,
*Cross fingers* for you!
But dun think it will happen overnight leh...give it a few days. He probably will still wake up due to habit, but don't feed him immediately, try using pacifier or give him some water first. If still cry then feed him

Hubby will kana all sorts of "questions" by his sisters... duno hw long my hubby can "tong" oso... if he cant, then he will give in to infant care which i personally dun mind, given the current "style" my MIL is going

Darmae,
You should park Meagan at your Mil's place for a week.. Let her take care of Meagan day AND nite.. let her have a taste of waking up at nite.
Voice,
Ya.. actually even for working mums, if can direct latch baby at nite, no need to wean baby so early. Some of my friends who are working do that. I call it dream latch.. hahahaha..It's actually very good cuz the instant I latch him I fall asleep (cuz too tired liao). I don't even know when he unlatches himself and how many times I actually latch him. And I sleep 12 hours sometimes cuz I sleep when baby sleeps. Last nite baby and I slept from 6pm till this morning 8.30am cuz was so tired from the church retreat! I didn't even take dinner!
Angel,
My finger is still triggering
. I'll wait till I can't move that finger before I get it operated. Did you go to the doc I went to? I dunno if the radio frequency treatment he provides really work leh.. u gotta qualify him first hor?
My bones are falling apart.. they say each pregnancy will destroy your bones once.. nowadays I try to drink DOM more conscientiously to build up my health. Hope it works.
Phoebe,
What size you want for the float?

Darmae,
You took your childcare leave already? Take 2 days off and then with the weekend, it'll add up to 4 days with you. Maybe can win the sleep training battle against your mil?.. sigh I know it's hard lah.. maybe infant care is really a better choice. But judging from your mil's pattern she sure make some nasty comments if you move Meagan out of her place to infant care lor..
