garden_dreamz,
you're not alone. My baby hardly sleeps in the day. Always want to be carried and gets cranky throughout the day. I find that carried in the upright position works as he doesn't like to be cradled anymore.
Luckily, he spent so much time fussing in the day, he can sleep more in the night. He only wakes up at 2am for one feed and 6am for another feed then it's a start of another loooong day.
I usually hold him upright and rock him to sleep in the day. But night time, he goes back to sleep after his feed. I'm also wondering when he can sleep thru the night. They say usually by the 3rd month?

hi mummies.. finally back after MIA for so long.. sob sob. am starting work 2mro cos i only take 2 mths maternity leave and am taking e balance 1 mth over e next few months.. now i m regretting it cos i already start to miss baby even though i m only starting work 2mro! but guess i need sanity check ba??
garden_dreamz, my baby also sleeps quite little in e day. can be cranky most of e times and she sleeps at 9pm+ at nite??? she slept at 11pm on sat! aiyo... lucky for me, she's with my mom at nite while i go home to sleep for e past month. poor mom of mine, she's so tired. so when i slept over with hubby for e weekend, i almost died.. haha..
dun worie about carrying him and rocker and watsnot.. yup, they might get used to it but hey! didnt lots of other kids get used to these forms of comfort and yet 'weaned' off it? u will give urself too much stress by worrying too much gal.. so do watever u can to let baby sleep! dun forget they need all the sleep time they can get so as to function & learn new things! so wat harm can some 'bad habits' do? =)

My bb is a big bully, usually when the grandparents not around, leaving me or both of us, he will be cranky at night....try everything also cannot...but when the grandparents came back...everything goes normal...it is not that the grandparents cuddle him or anything..it just stop and he will quietly go to sleep...so angry with that

hey hippo i totally agree with u! My first boy slept on bouncer, always carry, craddle , rock,eat pacifier, sleep sarong, and all sorts " bad habits" .. and he turns out weaning him off all these is not that difficult at all..he is still a happy baby!
Eventually all these habits will be wean off as he gets older.. so garden_dreamz dun fret so much and care so much abt wat other ppl says! just do wat u deem fit..

hihi mommies
good to hear they can be weaned off....hehe...but mine already kena spanked, scold and yell at her....so poor thing...cry and cry...then after that..sob and sob....stop for a while..then start sobbing agagin...like she think about it then start to sob again...so poor thing
re carrying uprite....i was told by some aunties not to carry uprite, coz it hurts the spine and makes it curved...but ive been carryin my gal since maybe 2-3 weeks....she dun like to be cradled one....she likes to see everything....anyone knows if its true about spoiling the spine and causing pain?
re sleeping in the day....do ur babies have days that they just sleep the whole time? im wondering if its normal..coz these last few days....if she sleep, can sleep the whole day and wake up short peroid of time...but when dun want to sleep, really whole afternoon can be awake one.....im thinking if the whole day sleeping is to make up for the whole day not sleeping previously....any thots?

hi mummies
thanks lots for all your support and advise. had an eventful day today tat i can't help but to vent out... bb was super cranky this whole morning n noticed his milk rash very red n the skin peeling off. panicked n wondered if his cries are triggered by the discomfort of the rash on the face? so rushed him to PD with my maid, hubby working, couldn't go. went there n realized tat it was not my regular PD but was desperate so went ahead wif it.
PD said milk rash is v.MILD (Though my bb's entire check is red n peeling, he call it mild?) n it will get worse. if use cream, will still come back. asked him is it coz hygiene (my maid keep using her face to touch his face n her face is oily), he say its hormonal change, not hygiene (could see my maid smiling smugly at me fr the corner of my eye, v.piss n the conversation dun sound v.comforting to me already... PD not v.gd, i thought). ok. point noted.
told the PD i v.concerned tat my bb cry though feed, burb, carry, sing, swaddle, pacifier, everything all give alr. PD said - he's only 5 weeks, old, will get worse. if bb cry, means he wan to carry n be played. i asked PD won't i b 'spoiling' him n let letting bb know when shd b play time, when shd b nap time? PD say - no such thing as spoiling. just carry n sing song, play (even in the middle of the nite, i thought to myself... is he mad???). he reiterated again... bb will get worse.
told him sometimes i can c bb is tired but refuse to sleep. his reply - tat's means he's not sleepy lor!!! (i was about to go bonkers with his replies by then... bb hasn't sleep day n nite n he's not sleepy???) he said - when bb is tired, they will sleep. but isn't tat bb need sleep to grow? and tat we shd try to get bb to take naps, instead of carry n play, which make bb even more cranky fr lack of sleep? his parting shot - listen to the bb when he cries, its not difficult to understand his needs.
i went out of the clinic feeling like i've just paid so much $$ to be given a slap on my face just coz i was concerned about bb, plus a maid who's smiling smugly all the way back, like v.happy tat the PD told me off, tat it will get worse, only 6-8 mths then better. told her sternly in the cab, well... she has to be prepared to carry n play with him day n nite then, to wipe the smile off her face!
then... to add further insult to injury, when i reach home, carried n sing song to him as 'kindly' instructed by PD, he did a big poo onto my hand. took off his diapers to wipe him down n he pee-ed onto the clean diapers n all his clothes and regurgitated some milk as well. after completing all that business, bb gave me a contented look!!! guess he doesn't know how his mum was made to feel like an idiot (in front of a PD and a smug maid) n she had to be poo-ed n pee-ed at by him! what a day...

dreamz,
i cant help but laff at ur bb pooping on ur hand!
hehe.
My pd gave me a cream called "zaricort" to apply on lyn's neck. She had red rashes then, and some fungal infection. It cleared up by the next day!
My frd told me her pd prescribe that to treat her bb's cheek rash, which made the bb peeled, but recovered with smooth smooth skin.
You can get zaricort at pharmacy. Think its over the counter.

hi mummies,
another round of venting fr me again... this time damn scary. my maid had made the mistake a few times of not putting in the teat n closing the milk bottle securely, so we always check n correct her till recently quite ok. then today, she made the same mistake but i was holding my bb as i wanted to feed him so didn't have extra hands to check the bottle. also,thought she had already knew wat to do by now.
i feed the bb a few min n he started struggling, the next sec, milk gushed out fr the teat n the milk bottle into his nose, mouth n my bb choked. i tilt his head forward n milk streamed out fr his nose n bb cried n cried. i screamed for another helper who takes care of my sis-in-law's toddler for help. she immediately sucked the milk out of the bb's nose while my bb cried his heart out. can u imagine how traumatic it was? i started crying as well coz the bb could have almost choked n died in my hands. how i was to know that the bottle wasn't secured properly? i had checked on the maid so many times n it was alright but the same mistake happened yet again n this time i didn't check on her n this happened. this is really the worst day of my life... i really am so so lousy at being a mother...

gardendreamz....don't be sad...we are all learning to be mothers. For my boy, he sometime feel hot will also cranky, so I have to change the sleeping place or carry him...
Sometimes, when my boy cry so much and try everything also cannot, i will try as much to burp him and infact, it is really that he burp not enough and feel discomfort. I usually put him in those adult pillow at 45 degree to prevent him from vomiting out milk.
I dunno you all believe in Jing Feng San, I do give my boy abit when he easily got shock.

mine seems to be more than when she was a baby
but i dunno if its linked to the fact that she also wants to poo and stretch while drinking milk at the same time...and i cant seem to stop her from doing that....

Hi all, regarding the rashes on face, my sil recommend using fresh breast milk to apply. i tried it on one side of my bb face for her heat rash and it works! for the milk rash, think it's because the milk mixed with bb saliva, so cleaning after each feeding would help. it improved for me.

morning all
perlicia...same same, i also shift bb around the bed on/off cos his back 'too hot' he'll make noise, and i also rest him on our soft big pillow 45deg cos he cant be lying down all the while v boring... sometime i find he more happy tat way!! ya, i do rub a little bit 'jin feng san'in bb's mouth after bath or b4 nite sleep if find bb too cranky... tis will help bb to 'calm down' as was told by MIL... infact, i hv sent bb to nanny hse alr to familiar w environment cos i going bk to work nxt monday
bbunny.... my bb throw out milk thru nose tooo... did u chk your teats or did your bb suck v fast? i find mine suck v fast, so now i feed 150ml, will pull out the teats on/off or let him tk half then burb him, or at least let him catch his breath b4 finishing the whole bottle, i find he throw out lesser. at times, he'll 'er ni' immediate after burp. like wat nans said, stretch/pooing when bb assert force will also cause milk to come out.

Garden_dreamz, understand how frustrated you are...that PD is really insensitive!! And everyone knows that at night we should try not to stimulate baby too much to send the signal that it's nitenite time!!
Velvet, no i'm not SAHM...wish i am! returning to work end of jan...hope got enuff time to train my maid by then. I'm perfectly fine with carrying baby when he's upset and crying for whatever reasons...i also don't believe babies at this age can be spoilt; they need to know mummy n daddy are there for them...but it's a different thing when it comes to cultivating good sleep habits-- even when he's not crying, my mil also carried...now, if we put him down to sleep on his own, he will cry. so gotta carry and pat pat. sometimes gotta walk around then he will calm down...
regarding the python...my hubby like damn bochup leh. ask him call pest control, i pay, he also procrastinate. sometimes his habit of procrastination drives me NUTS.

karrie, my hubby also have this procrastination habit!! i also beh tahan. heh.
wow, u returning to work end jan! took annual leave as well? My boss keep pestering me to come back earlier even before i went away. so now going back to work mid-jan. sigh, feel kinda sad that i'll prob not be able to catch all the "first" moments!

hi mummies
thanks lots for all the consolation n kind advise. will try to take up some of the suggestions for the milk rash.
tat PD really v.terrible. i walked out feeling none the better n even more at the lost in decoding bb's cries!!! me today super paranoid, follow my maid n see everything that she does n i insist on checking every milk bottle she prepares before handling it over to me. got her making the same mistake twice before finally getting it right. i warned my maid that she make mistake, we can correct n perhaps give her a chance but bb only has 1 life. anything goes wrong, there can no be any space for correction. this episode made me realise that i cannot depend on my maid totally and i have to watch her all the time. sigh...
junnie,
where can u get the jing feng san? is it good?

garden_dream, ya, jus like wat unice said can buy fm chinese medical shop. there r many brands & prices, i bought the one in red packing called 'hou zao zhen zhu ba bao jin feng san' $10, the shop sell me $9. u can refer cover for more instruction, basically it says traditionally used for reduce fright, fever and vomitting. but i dun fllw exactly the dosage, i jus put a little bit on my index finger & rub on bb's mouth, only gv when bb cranky. try only if u feel comfy w chinese medicine, i used it bcos MIL/SIL recommended since they said it helps during their time. so far no prblm of me trying.

Hi all,
Feeling very sad and worried as my bb was down with mild bronchitis. It started with a bit of cough and evolved on the next few days. She must have got the flu virus while she was out. She has been out shopping with us whenever we are free and over the weekends....
Last Friday - realized bb cough a few times but was very mild
Sat Morning - Brought her to PD and she was still alright, chest not infected and was given cough medicine and nose drops.
Sun - Mon - Cough seems to get worse and she has such a hard time every time she cough and also starting to get choke while drinking milk
Tues - Brought her to PD near my place ( waited for 3hrs to get to see the doc .. was so angry and bb was still suffering) and PD diagnosed her as having mild bronchitis as the chest -airways was already infected. Tried her on the inhaling device and it seems to work a bit for her at the clinic and hence now have to do the treatment for her at home for the next 2 days ......doc say if she gets infected by a bit more and if she stop drinking milk, wld have to admit to hos liao.......:-(
Praying hard that her chest wld be cleared and her cough and finally the stupid phelgm can get out of her body fast !!!
Feel so lousy that bb got so ill when she is just 2mths and 1 week old!! And I barely went back to work for like 1.5days ...so now wld continue to stay at home until she gets well.
Started to think that my bm is not helping her, I know it's only once or twice a day that she takes my bm but her immune system does not seems to be better. Worse thing is that bb got the stupid sinus/allergic reaction like me and that is probably the reason how a simple flu can get so bad! I only started suffering from blocked nose a few years back, don't tell me my bb have to suffered from this since day 1 .. what have i done to her ..

morning mummies,
totoro, don't feel bad about it...my colleague's baby also got bronchitis, but she recovered already and is still such a healthy and happy baby. so take heart...like bbunny said, take care of yourself too.
Velvet and nans, yeah finally managed to negotiate for end jan. initially my principal wanted me to come back in time for start of school (and take the last mth of ML at a later date), but i was having problems making childcare arrangements, so my HOD managed to persuade my P to let me clear all my ML one shot...I've confirmed a phil maid yesterday, going down to do the paperwork today. she will arrive by mid jan...hopefully got enuff time to train her.
the python has been caught!! after much nagging my hubby finally got another quote which was much more reasonable at $160, and they came down to remove it. whole process took 1-2 hours coz the snake was hiding inside our covered drain; they had to smoke the guy out then catch it. i tink the snake got high from all the DDT being sprayed at it hahahaaaa....

morning all
totoro...dun worry, your bb will b alrite soon, their immune system is low as still young, try avoid bring her to crowded places for time being...u can try rub some vicks (for kids - can buy fm pharmacy)over her chest & foot then wear sock, last time my gal i did tat everynite it helps her to breathe better, she also got bronchitis abt 2yrs.
bbunny..haha..same same, i also standby nappy while feeding/burping, hv to 'lay' it over shoulder & 'insert' handkerchief + tissue in btw bb's neck is easier to wash the nappy/handky rather than change & wash so many clothings...
