JanBB,
I LOVE the pics u posted ;P
Yen,
U stopping BFing? Me just started to drop 1 pumping session yday (from 4 to 3 sessions). Wah, this morning, my supply immediately drops.
Feeling a bit weird now. Mixed feelings? Like can't bear to stop like that. But well, I do need to stop soon as my son is now 6 months old. =) A great achievement for me already. Also, I will be leaving for a business trip next month. Without pumping, I will be less stress out.

dawn & kitsune,
I went for lasik 3 yrs ago. lasik confirmed not painful. My time, it was using blade to cut the cornea, so I can only feel the pressure on my eyeballs. Now, I heard it's using laser to cut the cornea, so should improve already. =)
I feel that going for lasik is one of the best things I have ever done in my life. I am very happy to be living without specs. =)
Do consider the pros and cons before going for lasik ya. =)

My bb gal started to become "difficult to feed" milk since 5 months. She was spotting 2 white buds then. He daily intake has been hovering around 600-700, but mostly 600plus. I've checked with 2 separate PD; 1 says anything above 500 is ok. Another says her intake is on the low side and probably i will have to continue to give her multiple small meals constantly. So far my bb gal has 2 meals of solids and milk (milk is fed in small amts - usually 60-90)
What is your bb's daily intake? I think you shouldnt worry if your bb is happy and growing.
My bb is 68cm, 7.6kg at 6.5months

Becky cat,
I'm a FTM, so everything is still new to me, I'm learning as my bb grows. The problem with my bb is she doesnt drink her milk in big qty. She drinks it in small-small amt. Force her to drink more also cannot. She cannot sleep thru the night and needs to wake up and i'm still trying to break this habit. I'm caught in between, becos if she doesnt wake up to drink, she will not reach 600...sigh...
Her schedule is superduper haywire, i also dunno how to type it out, but usually i give her 2 meals. 1 around 10-11am, another about 4pm. Milk is given every 3-4hrs and she only drinks bet 50-90. If she is drinking too little milk, i will give her 1 meal of solid only. Nowadays, she can eat about 3-4 tablespoon of cooked porridge. I'm trying to balance her milk-solid intake cos i know that there is still a minimum milk intake every infant should drink.
Very jialat right? Any mummies with suggestions?

wildchillies,
my gal sounds like yours leh. Cannot sleep thru the night. As much as I'll like her to stop waking up and give my mum and us some decent sleep, she still needs to wake up to catch up on her milk intake. nowadays, her milk intake around 600 only. Sigh. Very difficult to feed her milk. Drink 70,80 and it's enough.

mcfluffy,
Sigh...we are in the same boat. I dunno whether its out of habit or what ley...i also dun dare dun give her milk since her intake is on the low side. My girl mostly drinks bet 50-90 each time and will push out the teat once she had enough. I think this week i will try different teat (using nuk all along) and see whether it makes a difference.
Does yr bb eat solids happily then?

long time no *see* u around!
How's Elliot now? Ay, wan to ask u about ur #1 last time...u said she also dont like daddy to carry when she's a baby, everytime cry rite? Now super "daddy's girl" rite? When exactly and how she turns around ah? Me now having same headache. My gal dun like her daddy to carry particularly in the evening. She will cry but stop immediately when i (or my mom) takeover. So sad...reject daddy! But Daddy is the one with strength to carry! As i'm still BF-ing, dunno how to let them bond. Weekends, hubby around, got bathe her, play with her, but all down the drain as weekdays come and hubby went back to work and only reaches home close to her bedtime (her bedtime routine starts around 7-ish and hubby always need to rush home)
dawn
cut short short hair also no use, my mom got super short boy cut hair, when carry my gal, she also grab the hair ends. LOL
kitsune
i agree with ahcapp, Lasik was one of the best decision i made. Painless, jus can feel the pressure abit. Me so glad now no glasses!!
ahcapp
me too still BF-ing, hoping to BF baby till at least 1yr old. I read when u BF longer, as the baby grows, eating solids, milk intake drops and as they take more nutrients from solid foods, your BF will increase the amount of antibodies which is good for baby and not replicable by FM. There's a Sg mommy here in HK who have BF her baby for 2 yrs and her kid now is 4yrs old, never had any illness or fever...i feel so inspired!
Me planning to slowly let baby wean herself. I think i'm those super sentimental type, when weaning time, sure will cry and bu she de.

bb sleeping through
My baby also not sleeping through. Guess what, I'm having a cold so left baby at MIL's place last night. Last night, after I went over and bf her at around 1030pm, she slept and only woke up at 5:10am this morning according to MIL. Sigh, don't know why she only 'tekan' us leh.
Oh ya, fed my bb Heinz white rice cereal yesterday. She loves it, even tried to grab the spoon from our hand. Today, my MIL tried feeding her, she said 1 teaspoon not enough, bb making noise cos she wants more. haha.
Dawn, I didn't know must stop BF then can do lasik. How come ah?

wow! 4 yrs old! I dunno if i can make it that long!
But yes, i did read that if baby-led weaning usually will not occur until about 3-4 yrs of age. U still BF-ing?
kitsune
it's good ur still BF-ing baby when having cold..cos u're passing the antibodies ur body is making to your baby. I did that too and while i was fighting the cold, my baby heng-heng didnt catch it from me. But it was real hard cos i couldnt take the meds except for panadol cos the running nose meds will dry-up your milk ss.

mylife, that's what I told my mum too when she asked me to not to be too close to bb now that I'm sick. I'm taking all the meds that dr gave including antibiotics, as long as they are safe for bf, I'll take so that can recover faster. Can't do night feeds if I'm sleepy and groggy.
kitsune, not sure why leh, is it the hormones produced when breastfeeding will cos our degree unstable??? my fren was advised by the doc to do lasik oni after she stopped BF for 2 months. so have to wait lor........
btw do u have to make appt to see the lactation consulants at KKH har? do they accept walk in? my supply dropping like crazy since 2 weeks ago cos my gal suddenly doesn't want to latch. wonder can the LC do anything to help. my hubby says good mah, can slowly stop BF liow. but i bu she de....

mylife, I am still BF-ing.. Over the weekend, my supply is very low. Intend to BF until my bb reaches 1 year old... Still have 5.5 months to go leh.... )
Dawn, better to introduce cereal before milk. When I first introduced solid food to my baby 2 weeks ago, she still drank the same amount of milk as only 2-3 spoons of cereal was fed. i am increasing her solid food, and automatically her milk intake reduce.
Now am feeding my baby cereal for b/fast, lunch/ dinner. Middle of the day, i add in one fruit puree.
Brought baby for 6 in one jad last week, and the PD still advised us not to give baby any water after solid food yet unless her urine is yellow or she's very sweaty..
Just share the info..)

wendyg,
You are very cute... ya, i agree with you.. maybe these are unnecessary "PEER Pressure" if we start comparing babies. I used to be quite concern abt my baby's weight as he's not drinking well too but think as long as he is happy & growing well... who's care whether he is hitting the highest percentile or not.. so what he is and think i will start worrying if he becum overweight again.. hai, guess it will be endless worry...

shannonbaby,
I understand how you feel. Am also trying to stop BF but till now I still haven't let my boy try any FM. I think is a personal emotional that we have to learn to let go.
