Wah all the good reviews on babymallonline. Make me regret I din buy it earlier. MC rompers are indeed good, but abit too thick. My baby keeps sweating! So I din buy any MC rompers this time round.
Hmm Goon have good reviews huh, think I will try it out for my baby. So if my baby is outgrowing Mamypoko S, I have to take Goon's M size rite?
Anyone wanna share delivery in the West?

wah eve, your boy has lots of hair. My boy's hair is few and counting. Seems very slow to grow also.
My boy's tummy time is drool time. Always have to place a towel underneath cos he will drool a lot!!
i did buy lots of mothercare rompers cos wif the mothercare card its about $6 per piece, the next cheapest to carters.

I'm finishing my diapers, so thought of trying out Goon. Lazy to wait for sample. Hoping my boy can still fit into S instead of M (i thght the cutting might be bigger than Pampers or Mamypoko mah), as its alot cheaper to buy S instead of M. (terrible mommy)
Think I will just get Goon rather than Nepia given all the good reviews.
Anyone keen to share in delivery? I stay near Bt Batok. Let me know!

Hi, I am here for the 1st time, want to let off some streams too! I have a bb girl born last year 21 dec. Now she is 2mths n 13days old. But she is getting very cranky all the time, doesnt want to sleep in the afternoon, wants to be carried and walk around, she cries all the time too. I am actually thinking of being a SAHM but worried I cannot handle... I feel very worthless staying at home all the time with baby, doing nothing except coaxing her, express milk.. feed her, bathe her... etc. Still not used to life being a mother. I am getting angry all the time, not with baby, but with my hubby. I am totally a changed person after given birth.... Upset.

Any SAHM here?
how much does your babies drink now? Mine drinks about 120ml within a 4 hour interval. But this afternoon she seems to want more. I wonder if I should feed her up to 150ml at such a young age. Is it too much?
My baby just had her 6in1 injection, she weighs about 5.6kg, height about 60cm.

coloring hair
I also colored my hair for CNY. Threw 2 days of EBM away cos worried of contamination.
On rompers
If you dun like the MC rompers, can buy those 5pcs in one pack (dunno whether fake or real carters, child of mine kinda brand) that some mummies organise in bp. It is cheap and the material quite thin. Good for the hot weather here.

noelle,
yup i'm a SAHM. my son was born 18 dec, just a few days before yours!
maybe you can try instilling a routine with your daughter, it will help. i had trouble with my boy too at first... like yorus he always didn't wanna sleep in the afternoon. but i've adjusted his feeding times & nap times loosely to fit the gina ford routine and he has improved tremendously although he is still waking up for feeds in the night.
now he gets up about 7 plus in the morning and takes a 45 min - 1 hr nap from 8 plus to 9 plus. then he will nap again around 11 plus - 2 plus and last short nap at 4-5pm. then i bathe him and put him to bed from 6plus.. by 7 plus he knock out liao.
Although there are days he is very naughty and skips routine, most of the time he is ok. maybe u wanna get gina ford's book or the baby whisperer and try their suggestions?

noelle,
dun feel worthless if you choose to be a SAHM! its one of the best things you can do for your baby... not everyone has the luxury to choose to stay home with their child so instead of feeling sad about it - look at it positively! its your chance to spend more time with your daughter and in time to come (once she passes 3 months plus), she will be more aware of her surroundings and wont always be fussing... then you can spend quality time with her -playing, reading, teaching her stuff.
that's when it really gets meangingful..

Hi Noelle,
Re milk consumption
How much to give your baby also depends on the baby's weight. Of course, each individual baby has his/her preference and will take as much milk as they like. My gal takes 140ml of EBM every 4 hours. She's 6+ kg, going on to 13 weeks old. I'm trying my very best to catch up with her. On days that I can't, then I'll supplement with FM lorh...
Yah, try reading the Baby Whisperer. I felt upset with looking after baby initially, till I read her book. She empowers parents and I felt so much better after that. Tried adopting her concepts and it worked so far. Have to remember though, there's no hard and fast rule as each baby is different.
Me going back to work tomorrow!! Dunno how I'll tahan being away from baby, and how I'll take to my pumping schedule...hahaha...

My baby and your baby are born on the same day!
I am a SAHM since the birth of my first baby. Yes, initial period I do feel bored cuz there isn't much things to do. But frankly, I do enjoy my time as a SAHM with my children. Like what botanist suggest, you can try putting her to a routine, you will find it easier to manage. It gets easier when they grow up!
Oh my, you girls are bad for me. Shopping! I buy practically everything and anything when I had my first child. Now, other than clothes and diapers, there isn't much things for me to buy already
Playyard
Bear in mind that its kinda huge. It sat it my storeroom for more than a year before I used it as a bed for my baby.

CSI,
need to ask u.. i'm trying to follow the gina ford schedule.. but seems like my girl can't seem to follow it..
problem #1: over sleeping in the day..
gina ford's schedule: 7am - 8am: awake
8am - 9am: sleep (45 mins)
9am - 11am: feed and awake
11.30am - 2pm: sleep
2pm - 4pm: feed and awake
4 pm - 5pm: sleep (45 mins)
6pm - 7pm: bath
7pm - 10pm: sleep
10pm - 11pm: awake
11pm - 7am: sleep
but my girl always has problems keeping awake from 7am - 8am.. she will wake up for milk.. drinks with her eyes closed then continue sleeping till 11am!!!! pengz man! so long..
then 11am bath.. drink milk.. and sleep around 1pm - 3 sometimes 4pm.. if like that.. she's sleeping more than the supposed 3.5 hours for her age group leh.. she's sleeping about 5-6 hours in the day..
i try and wake her up but she will cry non stopped (eyes closed) until i rock her to sleep then she's quiet.. tried to distract her by singing song, play with her, let her watch tv, etc.. nothing works..
how do u managed to get ur bb to adapt to the schedule??

re: passing motion
My gal pass motion once-twice a day still. But I read somewhere that it's normal for bb to pass motion ever 3-5 days once, as long as it's doesn't stretch more than 1 week.
RE: milk consumption
My gal's drinking 80-100ml every 3 hourly. This has not changed since she's 1 month old. She 3 months 5 days old liao.

play yard panel are those heavy duty standing plastic panels which you can interlock to form an enclosure. your bb can play safely inside.

botanist, your words give me GREEEEEAAAAAT comfort hahaha! Cos my girl hitting 3 months this week. Need more responses from my baby la. Else my day can be quite brain dead at times.
Noelle, I'm also SAHM. Also like the book "the baby whisperer" a lot cos it states what to look out for in a baby's behaviour and daily pattern.

gloomybear,
my girl too.. also will pass motion once or twice a day at least..
re: milk consumption
i still cannot figure out how much milk she drinks coz suddenly she's not drinking a lot from the bottle.. she'll wait for me to come back from work then latch her on.. then she'll drink for about 15 - 20 mins then dun want already.. every time i latch her, she'll only drink around 5 - 10 mins.. then cry and want to sleep..
re: baby whisperer
is the book really good? better than gina ford?? maybe i should purchase it and read it..

petrina,
my bb finally manage to keep to gina ford routine BUT he still wakes up for all his night feeds. But i happy liao! cannot complain.
gina ford or baby whisperer does mention somewhere that some bbs need more sleep than others. So maybe yr bb is like that. so dun worry, as long as yr bb can still sleep at night and does not wake up frequently, its a sign that she's getting enough and not too much sleep
re: baby whisperer. its a good read, very easy to read and follow... she is less militant than gina ford so youwill find it easy to follow her routines.
ankh,
yah, only this week did i notice my bb starting to be more responsive! now he smiles at me every morning when he wakes up, even in the middleof the night - when I change his diapers!! so cute..
i also spend alot of time stimulating my son when he is awake - talk to him, play, sing, read, show flash cards... I try not to spend all my time doing my own stuff or surfing net... feel guilty if i do that.
hehe

Reading about gina ford's method i feel assured that my boy has fallen into the routine without me training him...haha.
Me don't need to add to list. All of u has put down all that i need. Except that i have this problem of keep buying flashcards and more flashcards for my boy. Those are on top of my self made ones. OMG!

cookiemz,
paiseh hor, just saw your post for me.
re: Addison. I also check at another website, but owner said that its OOS but will let me know if she gets 1 more. damn hot this pattern!
Appletini pikkolo: Yup i got it from mamakanga too! initially i opt for free domestic shipping, was intending to send back here via VPOST but decided to do international shipping in the end. i've contacted amanda and she said it will cost USD20 only!
Regarding your question on carriers : Pikkolo is the ONLY carrier that allows you to carry baby front carry outwards, inwards, on the back etc. Butterfly does not have this function.

lynzi,
thanks - yah he is big! very tall - i think more than 63cm already.
that float thingy is something that came with my Tiny Love gym. It's inflatable (gotta blow it up to size). The purpose of the float is to aid tummy time - i think it really works, cos my son will always drool and grumble if i put him on his tummy. he keeps bumping the play mat. But when I put him on the float, he happily can look up and around...
maybe its the naturally propped up position, more comfy for him.

anyone knows if the busybaby wraps are on the way..last i hear batch #2 was making it's way to dinut's Vpost address right? any further updates? this thread moving so fast, wonder if i missed anything!

and i really envy mommies whose babies drop the night feed already..my darling girl is not very consistent, sometimes drop the feed, sometimes don't..the other day she woke up every hour from 2.30a.m. onwards!!!!! please share your sleeping tips!!
anyone knows if the busybaby wraps are on the way..last i hear batch #2 was making it's way to dinut's Vpost address right? any further updates? this thread moving so fast, wonder if i missed anything!
ok thanks!
Petrina,
I dun follow Gina Ford's routine to the T. My view is that each baby will have their own routines, although more or less around the natural sleep rythm (the 7pm to 7am sleep) and the lunchtime sleep.
My gal also cannot stay awake after 7am. She will sleep until 945am - 10am, then wake up. So I'll let her play by herself. I'll prepare EBM for her at 1030am (in case she suddenly remembers that she's hungry, milk is ready). She doesn't sleep at 12 noon everyday. Sometimes 1pm then nap. But at 2pm, I'll unswaddle her or pick her up to change diaper. She'll wake up on her own. Feed her, then she'll play again. Some days, she'll nap again after her 2pm feed. I just let her be lah.
Even her 7pm sleep time...hello, it's MY dinner time...hahaha...But so far, she'll get cranky at that time (sleepy mah). And she'll sleep...but only for a while. Then she'll wake up and want to be carried. She'll finally K.O. at around 10pm - 11pm. All the way till 6am (that's when I have to leave home to go work) again lorh.
So, it does seem like my gal sleeps a lot too...haha. but as long as she's a happy, thriving baby, I'm happy too lah. I'm more concern that she sticks to the feeding routine, than the sleep routine.
Re educational dvds,
I can do a spree for BB Signing Times (our private one lah) if any of you mummies are interested, coz I know someone who is a retailer. Let me find out more about the price we can get, and I'll post it in our SMH Dec07 Groups, yah?

Not sure the mummy who organised the BP got it frm which distributor..
Therefore, if mummies keen on getting Bumbo..perhaps can organise a BP lor..Can save save abit..
Noelle,

constance,
me too! Not sure what happened coz she was ok with both last week then over the wkend, everytime I put her on my left she'll cry and cry until i change her over. So my left is super leaky now, in the morning shirt sure wet one.
BB finally slept through the night over the last 2 nites. Hope it has become a habit and will continue...fingers crossed.
mil going japan 1st wk of sch term 2. headache over who can look after my girls and maid. Though my maid is v good with the girls, sometimes can be too busy with one and not looking after the other. Esp now that bb is starting to move more.
