cindy,
my monster can hi-5 with urs, he also poos at nite, alot at times. i always make it a point to change his diaper ard 3-4am after his feed. else his poo/pee might overflow & dirty his clothes. there were a few times i was lazy & when i feed him ard 5-6am, he's already all wet & dirty. then i gotta wipe him & change all his clothes. so tiring! come to think of it, i'm awake for so many hrs at nite! each feed normally takes ard 30min (20min feed & 5-10min burp). there's at least 3 nite feeds & another 10min to change his diaper. so i'm awake for almost 2 hrs from 11pm-7am. OMG, how to tahan for a year plus? i think we can cry in each other's arms. too bad u not coming to the gathering, else we can share our woes.
k@ye,
my baby is not on US timing. in fact, he can sleep from 7pm-7am. just tat he wakes up every 2 hrs to feed. <font size="-2">good thing is he normally goes rite back to sleep after each feed.</font>
rast,
i had my menses last week too. quite puuzzled coz i tot BF will delay menses.
Next Child
i just hit my BIG 30 on 8th jan (3 days ago). my plan is to have 2 kids - 1st kid b4 30 (which i accomplished already) & 2nd kid b4 i hit 35. So tat means i have ard 4yrs to recuperate & try for another one... hehehe. but i haven think of wat chinese horoscope my next baby should be leh. now my only aim is to make my baby sleep thru the nite. i even made tat one of my new year resolution.
Caregiver
my mum is helping me to take care of baby during weekdays. sometimes i'm also abit worried coz she quite muddle-headed & not v hygienic. wat i try is to remind her gently everytime i see something not quite rite. hope i can rest my mind when i go back to work. but i know she's trying her best lah, since this is her own grandchild, first one somemore. when i see her laugh so happily when playing with baby, i'm also v happy

I'm using the Bfree bottle. Was using Nuk during the first few weeks then realise that there's always alot of bubbles when bb suckles and almost 20ml of the milk will be wasted coz too much bubbles at the end of the feed and we dun want to give it to bb. My boy also has lotsa wind in his stomach that's why i switched to Bfree. Can really see the diff, no bubbles at all as the bubbles will be channeled out thru the tube in the bottle. But, like what Twiggy mentioned, there's lotsa parts to assemble and wash. Need to use diff type of brush to clean thoroughly too, but no choice as long it's gd for bb. Avent and Bfree teats are exchangeable.
Re: Bringing bb out alone
Wanted to but HB asked me not to yet. So now, only bring him near the neighbourhood go walk walk.
Sigh...going bk to wk soon. Gonna miss those time spending all day with bb.

Re: Bring bb out alone
actually i never get passport to go out. today some mummies in the same area happen to be free and ask for tea session, i say ok then off i went. hubby didnt know till he came home. he didnt say anything, just asked if i can managed. well, i think as long as u feel confident, i think it will be ok. i am on tbf so i never bring bottles.... i just went to the nursing room. if really really dont have then i see how, may hide in handicap toilet or just find a quiet spot and use my nursing cover.
re: gathering
catherine, let me know if u sharing cab with me and tinkabel. she will also confirm closer to date.

mine's a monster too, so have to vie for grace's angel. haha.
My boy only sleeps from 11pm to 7 plus am. Once he is asleep, he is ok, usually wake up once only. But then putting him to sleep is a challenge every night and he is also more difficult during the evenings. Can't imagine how to tahan when go back to work.
Re:Next kid
Me also want to have another one. This time must have a girl, seeing how grace dolls up her little angel. So nice. Boys so boring. But then every time think of having sleepless night, I sianz already. Thot having little Mickey is good, but too near already. but then after that cow (work whole life) and tiger (not so gd for gals). Haiz...

Twiggy, its not taht i nvr tot of giving away my EFBM. but i very scared ppl will reject the idea. i wanted to give to my SIL's adopted son but she has a younger sis also TBF now, i think she also giving her some. if i insist to give her, i scared my BM will go to waste. As for strangers, nt sure how I will feel if the BM are nt in good hands...let me think abt it..recently i read in one of the thread there was this perverted MAN who wanted to buy BM from some mummies to 'cure' hos asthma in the end no one sold to him cos nt sure his real intention.but currently freezer really running out of space!
Tinkabel, i m still TBF. Like you i hope to do at least 6-12mths. was even telling hb maybe i will miss pumping and all by 12mth and continue to 18mth! he said i better nt stretch to 24mths like what my fren did.
Re: bringing bb out alone,
hehehe today was telling hb some mummies' hubbies dun like the idea of their wife bringin bb out alone. i asked him why he nvr stopped me even for my 1st born last time. is it becos he is confident / trust me or he simply dun care....hahaha..jus trying to be difficult sometimes.
of course he say he trust tt i can do it la...wonder how true.
Grace, actually with a nursing cover, u can BF anywhere. if with nursing wear, basically dun even need to cover! today i was having noodle at Centrpt and carrying Mischa on the other hand cos it was her feeding time..haha...tiring but can kill 2 bird with 1 stone!
Tweety and mummies,
i will bring something healthy for the gathering la! hahaha...i bring homemade PRAWN with FRUITS SALAD ok?

Hi ladies
I'm new here but I've been lurking for several months now...
Anyone of you ladies stay in the East? I gave birth to my girl on 4 Nov at NUH, delivered by c-section by Prof Mary Rauff.
Wanna exchange notes on PD and care centers.
I'm seeing Dr Vasanthi at Parkway and while she was on leave, saw Dr Cheng at the Siglap clinic. He is quite good too. I'm supposed to start work end Jan, but have asked for and granted NPL for Feb, so will start work in Mar. Plan to send my bb to infant care. Anyone planning on infant care?
Perhaps we can meet up for coffee at Parkway or something????
Cheryl.

twiggy, you can still make it to gathering after your doc's appointment. tinkabel did the same thing for our last gathering...It will be ok, if you don't think about taking your baby out as such a feat it won't be. Hop on taxi and hop out..just rem to pack your essentials.

u do not need super hot water to make FM.
luke warm water is good enough.
some brand of FM is not so easily dissolved hence u may wan to use chopstick to stir and dissolve.
i am using friso and it is easily dissolved. there will small lumps of FM not disoolved but its ok

Ladies,
Have any of you succumbed to yao lan yet? My sis got me one and my hubby and I are quite reluctant to use it, but come Monday when my mum comes, she will definitely use it and I'm worried that my boy will get addicted once he's in it.
Btw, juz realised that I need to get a car seat cos' the one which my sis supposed to pass to me is in pretty bad condition. Any recommendation? I dun intend to spend alot on it.

hi poissons,
me oredi succumbed to yao lan almost 2 wks back coz BB needs to be carried n rocked to sleep... coz she quite light sleeper lor, bit of noise she will wake up crying, etc... which tired all of us out at home.
anyway, the yao lan is only for afternoon naps (when it's more noisy) and the yaolan sort of gave her the security feeling she badly needed. other than that, she's ok to sleep in her own cot at nite.
i dun rock her so much when i put her in, just pop in her pacifier, put the bean sprout pillow on her tummy and rock a few times then leave the room... she'll fall asleep herself after dat... n every1's happy

Today went to the PD clinic and $130 poorer! My gal went to the infant care for 8 days and ended up with dry skin and a blocked nose due to the air conditioning!
She was breathing like Darth Varder and can't sleep properly during the nite! Din want to bring her to the PD but will be getting her jab on this coming Thursday. No choice but to get a peace of mind from the PD!
RE: Yao Lan aka Sarong
It depends on individual babies' preference. Like my daughter, i put her once or twice in it when she was 1 mth+. She can sleep longer back then. I attempted to put her once 2 weeks ago, boy she tore the house down with her cries! So dun worry too much abt it!
Like what Kittybride says, as long as everyone is happy! No problem onE!

Re: Yao Lan
My sis also advised me to get one when my boy was crying almost whole day for the past 2 wks and needs to be carried all day, we were tired out. Initially we thot its colic, but think it's due to wind in his stomach and he is much better now.My niece has colic bk then and sarong did great help.
I'll be getting the sarong stand from my sis's colleague to standby just in case we really need it. But my MIL is against it and said she'll try to coax him. Luckily my boy is much better these few days.
Think it shldnt be that bad if most of us grow up sleeping in one.

Re: Sarong,
Cactus, can be quite BAD! i grew up with yaolan and mum /dad says i was a very bad baby. without yaolan simply cannot live. they admit they made the wrong move by introducing yaolan cos no choice, i was taken care by my grandma in the daytime so old ppl will use yaolan. my dad says they have to rush home to let me sleep everytime they are out. only when my mum stopped helping my dad in his biz and become a SAHM, then she 'helped' to rectify this bad habit of mine. so she advised me nt to start yaolan at all..there are always other means.

heard from my husband that my baby Ethan refused the bottle 4 the first time yesterday when I was away at a wedding dinner. tried to feed him this morning at 10am but he only drank 10mls before spitting out bottle. Feel worried now cos i've 2 go back 2 work after CNY. Should I change the teat? I'm currently using avent & pigeon bottles. Anyone has experience with this problem?
Cindy, your son's head control is really advanced 4 his age. Wow! how long do u put him on his tummy every day?
my ethan gets lazy after 15 min or so.

michviv:: u are not alone la.. my boy rather starve.. also like yours, 10 to 20mL spit out le. push the teat here n there.. or just hold it there without sucking... sighs no idea how to fox it... you're feeding him ebm? i gave mine FM but will try to give ebm to see if he's rejecting the btl or the FM.
haha... i put him on his tummy until i see that he's tired... ard 10 to 15min... thank you!!

hi regarding yao lan, my baby just refuse to sleep in it even if he is cranky. my mum also figured it out and we let him sleep on the matress now. we tried yao lan about 4 times, all failures!!
for the gathering, i m still pondering about what to bring... wat about pasta?
my hubby also allows me to bring bb out alone, just make sure i take the cab when i do so, cos i still cant drie with a wailing bb in the car seat.
i fell off the bed while cleaning bb up today... i thought i sat on the edge of the bed, but i wasnt.. i sat on air.. ha. so now i have a bruised shoulder n bruised leg. so painful.

Cindy, I usually latch him on every 3-4hours and when I'm not in, my husband/parents/in-laws feed him ebm. Its been ok so far, so its very strange that he is rejecting the bottle now. One good thing though, my maid managed to feed him via the bottle this afternoon by putting him in his car seat and I ran away to hide so that he thinks I'm not around. haha. Will try again tomorrow to confirm that the car seat method actually works. =P
I put him on his tummy cushion for abt 10-15 min a day - its supposed to help strengthen his neck muscles. But after 2-3 minutes of head exercises, he gets lazy and puts his head down and starts kicking like he's swimming. Think I'm raising a swimmer at this rate.
K@ye, tummy time is recommended by PDs to help babies develop their neck muscles. Tell your mummy not to worry. =)

hhahhaha michviv:: wow you even have a tummy cushion! hahah i just put him on his bed or on our bed. or sometimes my hubby will put him on his chest while lying down.
you can try to do more times in a day..

Yoko,
Good point, can make the FM beforehand since roughly know when baby will cry again. I think BM feeding intervals more unpredictable than FM feeds.
S@L,
Ya, that's true. Quite a pity to waste the milk.
why dont you feed to your baby? Frozen EBM still very good.
Tweety,
Ok, I'll try to make it. But will need to disappear for awhile to pump ok?
Either that or I just pop in for a little while to say hello. K@ye,
Ya, taking car seat and stroller out w baby is a pain in the ass. Espcially coz car seat quite hard to strap on with the taxi car straps. But hubby doesnt allow me to take taxi with baby without car seats. And I seldom take bus.
Elaine,
Oh no....so sorry to hear that you had such an ordeal. Is it feeling better now? Are you on painkillers? Don't let this deter you from having baby again. Next time you know what to look out for so chances are you won't leave it till your mastitis gets so bad. Are you stopping BF now or continuing?
A couple of times I had blocked ducts and engorgement. Was very scared it was mastitis coz I can't tell the difference. So I very kiasu straight away go see lactation consultant before it gets worse. I guess it is always good to arrest the problem before it gets worse. The Dr at Raffles Women's Clinic at Causeway Pt is very good. She actually called me a few times to see how my engorgement was, to ensure it doesnt get worse. I guess she didnt wnat me to end up w an absess. Hope you feel better soon.
Olivetree,
Doris charged me $60 for an hour. I'm now using her method of expression to help my pumping and it's not so painful but seems to take me longer. I've started to reduce my BM. Trying to put cabbage leaves all the time now and hoping the BM quantity reduces gradually. If cannot, then I'll go get medicine from Dr to stop BM.

Ueno - how do I join MSN? Would like to chat however, I seldom use the PC becoz it takes forever to boot up, and sometimes it hangs / takes forever to load a page. Dunno what my hubby / son doing becoz they have lots of games on it and I think the memory is eaten away! Once I'm on (after like forever, my baby will cry for me to carry!) Can you email me instead of [email protected] ?
My bb is rejecting the bottle too, after accepting it at 4 weeks. Now 9 weeks plus. I read on the net that sometimes, at 8+ weeks, they'd refuse the bottle. I tried Nuk silicon & rubber, & Pigeon but no use! What to do? Any suggestions? Thing is my Mom and Hubby dun like to have her cry and after trying for like 5 mins and her crying, they'd ask me to BF her..*sigh* I will need to try it myself even though advised not to generally cos baby will know it's MOMMY and will hold out for the breast!
I din hv this problem with my 1st 2 kids - they took the bottle happily. That was 8 & 11 years ago!
Re. gathering, my hubby din want me to bring baby becoz she just recovered from nasty virus (was hospitalized on 1st Jan for 3 days!) Bad cough & phlegm and she refused to drink any milk! Not from breast and not from bottle. Now thank God she has recovered, but still slight 5% phlegm. So, what I may do is to pop in myself to Tweety's place and say hi to you ladies and your babies (provided my baby's not cranky and my Mom's ok to watch her for an hour or so). Would love to meet you ladies in person, and share experiences.

Twiggy, yes i give the frozen ones to my son, but the stash r too much for him to finish cos he takes 1-2 times of milk a day (abt 300ml of my BM n mix with his milk powder) but i pump abt 450-500ml per day aft latching my gal.he wont drink if i only give him pure BM. so always will hv extra. now i try to give my son the fresh ones too, so once the frozen ones expire, i will need to throw.
S@L, apply last in first out for your milk since u have excess. This is what I did. I always take the fresh one first. I clear Frozen every 2 weeks. qality of bm decreases with time.
Anyone has any comment? Last friday night at 8pm my son suddenly had high fever. 39 temp. I was worried to death because I was alone with him and baby.
I reluctantly fed him 3.5ml of panadol. Unwilling because I never like to feed him medicine. It is bad for the liver.
His fever didnt go away. It stayed within 38.5 to 39. I sponged him before bed and gave him additional bm at 1am (4oz) and 4am (8oz). When he woke up on Sat morning, he still has mild fever at 38. I gave him another course of panadol.
Miraculously the fever went away on Sat 1pm. No other symptons other than fever.
I am just wondering, could it be my bm that acts as a booster to fight against the virus.
