nolah, i slept well, just not enough (as usual) heehee
i've past the point of thinking about these probs liao. the more i brood about it the faster i get depression man. so cannot think.
yes silence is golden. i tell myself flaring up at him, throwing tamtrums is not going to solve the prob so i just keep quiet and let myself cool down, "kan kai" more, and hopefully 1 day he will realise his mistakes on his part. not that i am perfect but honestly my hb has gotta do more in this family/marriage.

babyshannon, cos they find her more of a hindrance than a help? Haha. Seriously, because FIL doesn't like any outsiders to be around. He wants to cook in his own way and his kitchen and house is his palace. He doesn't like anyone messing it up or touching his things. Also, he's paranoid about noise when RaeAnne is having her afternoon nap (2-3 hours) so nothing in the house can be done including cooking, washing dishes, mopping, sweeping etc. So he said there's nothing for my maid to do when she's there. 
My mum is more than happy to have my maid to do things for her but she's farther away from me so have to see whether I want to change 2 buses and drop her there instead.

Pixie, can use milk in making bread and cakes for X too. hey you ever try giving him oatmilk or soymilk?? My son likes both wor. Oh yea, pm me ur baked rice recipe? Thanks!
Kam, it’s normal for HR to react that way but I think he is so guai already! That he could wait for his turn until mei mei finishes milk milk. My boss told me his #1 was very jealous with #2 till he bit one piece of skin off #2!! So scary. HR very guai hor, good boy!! You can get a breastfeeding pillow , then you can latch and pat pat HR at the same time!!
Kam, no need to feed water when Xiyu is on 100% bm. Since she got jaundice just continue bf, that will do liao.
Kam, you asked about bf right, maybe I share with you my experience. My shaun doesn’t like latching cuz the milkflow is slow during the initial stage. So I am on exclusive pumping till about 2 months plus, when I started to have lots of supply, I latch him easily liao cuz breast is always full and can satisfy him. while I’m on exclusive pumping, I pump every 2 to 3 hours. Tiring and amazing, I don’t know how I did it, cuz I woke up to pump midnight also. But good lor, I have lots of supply. So shaun is on bottle since baby and started to latch after 2 months plus till he auto weaned off at about 9 months. But I still gave him expressed milk till about 16 mths where I stopped bf.
After pumping keep in fridge, the furthest and coldest part of the fridge. Can keep for 2 days la. after when you have lots of ss then you think of freezing la.

kitsune, yr FIL is same as my MIL. She also find my maid a hindance, always say she didnt do things the right way. She prefers to do everything herself. And most impt, refuse to teach her how to cook. Weird right, have a maid but pack lunch n dinner back just becos she dont want my maid to learn/see how she cook.

Shannonbaby, ya ya, same like my FIL. He's the king of the kitchen. He doesn't even allow my MIL to cook. I had to drop so many hints to MIL even MIL passed the hints on to FIL to teach her how to cook. Even then, it depends on his mood. Sometimes, he'll just 'chase' her out of the kitchen.

Re: BF
i got a question regarding storage of BM since u all are at it. You all store it in the freezer or fridge rite? is the fridge exclusively for BM? cos if got other things like raw meat etc in the freezer, wont it have some smell in the milk as well???

Jess, get a plastic container and put the bottles or bags of EBM in the container then into the freezer. If you can't find a plastic container then at least separate the shelves ie. 1 shelf just for EBM and another shelf for raw meat.

chaye, luca
*waves* to chaye, long time no see ah
i am reminding him constantly all the things he needs to do but he just dont want to do. in the end accuse me of being lazy, never take care of our boy (huh??!!)...same as your hb, play games, surf net, dont want to spend time with our kid on weekends. i gave up liao. its his prerogative, dont complain when our boy is not close to you lor.
if tell 10 thousand times oso no use, i dont think its going to work if i keep on reminding him. he will say that im naggy.
it takes an epiphany for him to realise these. i just hope he will be "awakened" asap. then the family dynamics then will be better

since im the only mummy in here to store my bm in the fridge for 8 days rather than 48 hrs, i keep it fresh by locking them in lock&lock containers and keeping the containers in chiller compartment. i assign the chiller compartment only for bm. when my bm supply was established and had lots of output, i just store the lock&lock containers in the fridge, mixed with the food etc
same for the freezer level. all in lock&lock.
maybe my milkbags did a great job of keeping my bm fresh?

actually to mummies whom i have sent the "baked rice" recipe
if you all find that boiling the chicken bone for stock is very mah fan, can skip that and just use plain rice. but i find that the baked rice in restaurants all very fragrant so thats why i tot use chicken stock is better. make full use of my ingredients mah.
also, can replace the ingredients with carrot, potato, celery, long bean, broad bean, asparagus. actually any kind of vege is ok. just blanch those that are very hard

pixie,
check with u, does it mean u buy a big lock n lock then put all the milk bag inside the lock n lock? how many milk bags can u store in this way? cos the last round, I had a freezer full of milk bag, no other frozen food. But this time round will be staying with my MIL, thus dont think she will give me so much space to keep the milk bag.
u still selling milk bag?

when i "guaduated" to intermediate level in bfding, i stored my mbags in the fridge compartment, standing them up. i go to daiso, buy those fridge storage trays, can stack 8pkts of mbags in each tray, very very handy coz got handle to pull, rollers at the base. next time i take a pic and show you how it looks like. this way, i seperate my mbags from food in the fridge. i'll have rows and rows of these trays.

last time, i store in my MIL fridge (smaller than mine, super crammed). i asked her to assigned me the chiller compartment in the fridge, and the door space in the freezer. which she gave to me. i dont think these places are very wide until she dont want to give you.
can store at freezer door. i use the biggest ziplock bags possible, double bag them, and store the mbags in the double ziplock bags. i can store 5 full mbags in each ziplock bags.
so it will be a double ziplock of each milkbag + double ziplock of storage bags. kiasu rite
just find a way to workaround lor.
300ml x 10bags and not including those in chiller compartment. the rest of the bm i store at my own home.
i can tell you my mil fridge is super small and her fridge serves a family of 10

pixie,
not duh la. Why dun u ask hb to pick you up from mil place?
i am more fortunate cos we stayed very near to PIL oso in the west & about 15-20mins bus ride to my home.
from work to mil place = 0.5hr
visit my boys (mon-thurs) = 2.5hrs
from mil place to own home = 10mins car ride
