Mummyfaith,
please dun upset abt feeding ur bb with FM, i understand how u feel. For me, my BM supply was low and oni manage to last for 2wks due to some reasons and has been feeding FM. You have been able to feed for at least 7 mths, very fortunate liaos
anyway, agree with BEAN that keep pumping even if supply is low, eventualy will be able to get more. But possible, try to drink fish+papaya soup oso.
Bean,
Thank you so much for organising this hi-tea and writing the feedback letter. Greatly appreciate all the efforts you have gone through. No one expected goodwood park have such an issue. Jus hope everyone has recovered. Btw, I cant remember the spread, are there alot of raw food like sashimi, salmon?
Row,
haha..in that case, Sept mummies will need you to help us get alots of gift for our child and at the same time an excuse for u to go shopping. Btw, how's ur Nissen BP? I didnt get the chance to tell u my orders. I am actually very interested in the Bibs and leggings. Remember i sent u the whole list of bibs, is it hard to find in SH? Will there be a chance for ya to post the pictures of the Ni Hong Guang Chang? Wana see how it looks like
Darmae,
Happy to hear that maegan getting lesser phelgm, did u actually try the hou zou? Btw, did u ask if u can add the powder to milk and feed her? at least not so awful
here i am again.. ^.^

good morning dear mummies
thanks to all the encouragement and kind words, i am indeed feeling so much better now. i think i am finally coming to terms with the whole bf issue, its been 7mths so its not too bad to take a break from the continuous pumping. i shall continue to latch faith whenever i can and also in the middle of the night as faith is used to nursing thru the night too but now i can don't stress abt ss since she can be given FM.
i am giving her Mamil Gold Follow On now and 1 feed i give 180ml of water plus 6 scoops. she dislike drinking water so now with FM, i must make sure she take water right? any idea how much water i must give her in a day?

Hi darmae..
Glad to hear that TCM works for Maegan.. though I'm still a bit skeptical abt it... My colleague did told me that for relieving cough, TCM works better...
Hi Bena..
You shd asked Goodwood to give u a refund you the $$$ that you have paid for the high tea...

Potty Training..
I'm glad that my MIL has successfully potty-train my boy for just one day... Two days ago, she taught him how to pee when she remove his pants, bring him to toilet & make watery 'sssss' sound... First day, he was still confused & dunno how to react...
Yesterday (2nd day), he has associated the 'ssss' sound with pee-ing... he will pee when he heard the sound... throughout the day, he was diaperless... Wow! I was amazed...

Wow, emily, Edison is AMAZING! Toilet trained at such a young age??? We only toilet trained our elder one when she went childcare around 2.5 years old ... though she is not wearing diaper in the day and can go toilet herself, she's still wearing diaper at night (cos we are not adventurous enough to let her try w/o diapers at night ... heeee).

Hi Blue..
Only diaperless in the day.. At night, I still put diaper for him.. Cannot imagine I have to wake up every 2 hours to bring him to toilet!!!! Or if he pees on the bed...
During the day, either my MIL or my maid will carry him to the toilet to pee every 1.5hr - 2hr. It takes time for them to read his body language if he want to poo-poo....

Emily,
You are right. I'll rather have a refund, since their service is not fantastic too even if they offer a nite's stay there.
Mummyfaith,
I've always admired pumping FTWMs. It's so tiring to face work stress and still have to face a lifeless machine. You've really done very well to have pumped for so long.
Yoyo,
No prob.. The spread : I think the salmon wasn't sashimi. It was smoked salmon and there were a few dishes with it.
Justme,
Try to cut queue. Tell the staff there that you have a babe. It worked for me. I cut 400 people.
And ya, I truly agree that many mummies on this thread are very strong. Blue, whose family went thru HFM and then the hair issue, Atinarin, who went thru the nerve sickness, Peapod, who persevered with breastfeeding despite odds, Amy who was recently hospitalised for food poisoning and who only thought abt baby's well being, despite going thru so much discomfort, just to name a few, and now mummyfaith.
Row,
Durian feast? hahaha.. ya sure. I love durians too. When will u be back? No durians over there?
Darmae,
Glad to know that Meagan is slowly recovering. When bbs are sick, mummies are worried sick.
Blue,
You have a lot of birthdays to celebrate leh! But I'm sure J's will be the grandest!

HI CM..
You can try too.... just bring them to pee every 1-1.5hr... take off his pants and carry him to toilet... make 'sssss' sound.. gently touch his penis to signal him to pee.... slowly, they will start to associate the signals for pee-ing... it takes time, so be patient...

Btw forgot to update that Jordan is making some progress in his crawling skill ... finally!
Yesterday he can use his legs and tummy to push himself forward when we put him on the bed to reach a toy that I have tempted him with. Not exactly crawling but that was what my gal started with last time also.

Hi Mummies
RE: Toilet training
My MIL has been diligently training my boy to pee into a chicken essense bottle when sshhed to
The way she started was to sshh him just after he wakes up cos' you know lar, we always have the urge to go toilet after waking. After a while he got the idea and is able to pee on cue fairly often
It has been very useful especially after his UTI. We use this method to check Caelen's urine for cloudiness.
But this brought me another worry. For the last week, his urine was cloudy once a day for 3 of the days. He doesn't have any of the other symptoms of UTI though - no fever, blood, pain when urinating etc. And it only happens once a day and not everyday too. Is it anything to worry about?

Hi peapod..
Maybe bcos of the food that he ate & drink that day, that causes the cloudy urine... I think as long as he doesnt have the symptoms of UTI, then shd be fine..

Hi blue..
Congrats....
They started by slowly pushing their body forward... then they will know how to crawl...
Usually, we have to put Edison on stomach for him to crawl... but yesterday, he turned himself from his sitting position to crawling position.. Dunno how he manage to lie his body on the floor and push his legs backward to crawl... I have to witness it myself this weekend...
Now, Edison is at MIL's house... MIL seems to be able to discover his new 'ability' earlier than me...
