Pengz...so many posts just half a day! Do you all have this problems? Dayan recently has been very sticky to me, very unusual. He now seldom take his nap (usually 2 naps am & late pm) these few days! I very pathetic...have to keep entertaining him. Till now, he hasn't sleep yet! He is drinking well..and whenever i leave his sight, he cry his lungs out! if con't like this, i will go berserk..even right now he is still crying despite his father is in the same room with him!
How ah? what happen? any advise?
How ah? what happen? any advise?
Jas: think he starting to have separation anxiety! perhaps you can play peek a boo game with me? like hide at the door and hide and when he goes ek ek ek, then show ur face to calm him down.. and pull the time longer.so he can associate u not in sight doesnt mean u are not coming back
i always play this with my baby and say "wait" alot of times to him.. so now when i say " wait wait" and quickly leave the room to do stuff, he can "tahan" 5-10mins before looking for me (ie cry,, haha)

mummies,
i also got a "problem" MIL. actually we had quite a okay relationship but it changed when i gave birth my boy. she is also a "know-all" MIL, like many of your MILs.. she will have endless comments everytime we visit her.. when baby got rashes which is quite common, she will say i never clean his mouth after drinking, i told her i clean everytime, then she said must be your breastmilk got prob, i told her PD said it's normal, then she said i had too much birdnest when pregnant.. my "fire" was already up till my nose then hubby just told her it's NORMAL LAH and pls stop harping on this! then she keep quiet. Then many a times she will comment why baby like this and why baby like that, must be this n that la.. and the "this" and "that" all implying i did not do a good job loh.. really sick of her...
Got once i wana feed baby at her place, so i carried baby to room to feed coz they on TV loud and i dun wan baby to be disturbed when drinking milk, then she said why must be like that, last time she brought up all her kids eating/ drinking while watching TV, i really fed up wi her! i cant even have my own freedom and discipline to bring up my son meh?! so i told her "precisely, i dun wan to incalcate this bad habit since young." i was trembling when i said this but i dun care loh! really angry...
Then when my SIL gave birth, i visited her at hospital and encourage her to breastfeed, i know she dun like but i said just try for first few days and let baby has the colostrum then can stop after which coz it is the essence and very nutritious... then u know what my MIL said "aiya, dun force her la, what so good abt breastmilk, formula better ma, babies on formula so chubby and cute, breastfeeding so troublesome, waste of time... blah blah blah"... i kept quiet at once. i just try to encourage her to try it for few days and not long term, then my MIL gave me such comments. totally pissed off!
When baby was hospitalised, she didn't even bother to call and ask how is he, she simply bochap coz i know she buay song wi me.. i dun bother at all.. like what u all said, out of sight and out of mind! better for me and baby!!!

dodo, im surprised ur r/s with ur mil is not smooth. i tot u so mild mannered one, will guai guai like mil 'eat'
paisei for such a long post.. din know that i had typed so much 
gingerleaf,
agree wi hippo... i can understand now, u are really oozing wi mother love towards lyn.. must be somethg u learn and gain from ur past experience... u will be a very responsible and good mummy!
im lucky to have super good mama n papa.. they really dote on us and gave us the best education and growing up environment.. we are not very wealthy but my parents groomed us lots, like piano, ballet, art lessons etc... my mum learned to drive so she can chauffeur us around for all these lessons... my mum also gave up her job to take care of us at home... they really love and protect us even till now.. im really fortunate to be their daughter... but hubby noticed actually there's one drawback here, im easily upset over little things and failure, not a strong person at all... this is largely related to my upbringing coz my parents always draw a beautiful picture of life to us and i have a smooth and happy life all the while till i start working... so hubby said we must not be over-protective to my boy, so he will grow up to be a brave and strong person and not overly reliant on us... which i think is true..

As for me, the problem lies with my Grandma-in-law.. forever asking me to feed my baby more food. When I just finished feeding BM and hvn't started him on solid but she will constantly ngiam me, saying baby is still hungry cos' he is sucking his fingers.. c'mon lah, whether or not he is hungry, he also likes to put things in his mouth lor.
There was once I fed him FM right in front of her.. when I finished she said I should feed him another bottle (and attempt to feed him cake). I said no and she kept mummbling to herself say mummy (means me) dun want to feed baby. Super irritating.. then hubby will always keep quiet instead of siding me cos' he was brought up by her. Some more she likes to give example of how she feeds his grandchild a lot of food, so that they grow fat fat.. (yah, then now most of them obese..)
Luckily FIL tries to stop her, say baby has not started on feeding. That's the reason why I nvr dare to put baby at my ILs place without me cos' worried that she will stuff things into my baby's mouth.

sugarnut: yah last time my MIL also like that, everytime comment that my boy still hungry cos he sucks fingers .. siao. if feed them everytime they suck finger, they will puke milk lor.
also, always tell her to feed my boy every 3-4 hrs interval last time n she will stick to the 3 hrs interval closely. once 3 hrs up, auto go make milk even when my boy not fussy or crying for milk. very irritated.

Hippo, i think we. girls, are just lidat la. Emotional and easily upset.
Sugar nut,
oldies all lidat one!!! Coz their methods of bringing us up works well thus far, so they will of coz want us to use the same method on our kids. Sigh, its lidat one la.
Someone was complaining her baby wants her all the time? My gal is lidat too! I walk past her n never look/smile at her, she will ek ek ek ek then cry liao. Then now will raise her 2 little arms up in the air when she sees me! Then sometimes I dowanna carry her, she will cry.

Sugarnut,
will it be too crowded if madlynette joins our class? Her case really no choice one leh, coz mrya got jab on 3rd.
I dun mind one more mummy! If anyone on the 1st feels that having one more mummy is too crowded & hinders their babies gym time, they can change to the 3rd if they want.

hi mummies, i guess most of us have our own stories to share about MIL.
My MIL is similar to Dodo's. The 'i-know-everything-and-they-are-all-right' MIL. Our r/ship turned bad after gave birth too. But luckily we moved out in Jan, so things are bearable now.
This morning when we were going to our MIL place to drop chloe, i saw this uncle patiently waiting for the arrival of a car. Then when the car arrived, the woman in the front seat passed a 3-mth-old bb to him. And that uncle happily carried bb to take the escalator back to the house. Not sure that uncle is a FIL or the woman's father. But i think he is being so sweet.
As for me, i everday must carry bb to MIL's house, to the room, place the pillow nicely for her, put all milk bottles nicely for her (sterilized back at my home), put the toys as where it should be..
MIL gets annoyed if chloe's stuff is not in place, yet she can tahan my SIL's 5 yo stuff all over the house.
I need months to share stories of MIL and SIL too, by the way...
