AhCapp,
Don't use powder for the rashes on bb's neck. PD say it will clog the pores resulting in more rashes. Use Johnson & Johnson Diaper Rash Cream...works like a miracle and everything will heal nicely in a few days.
Sweetie,
I'm also looking for the J&J diaper cream. Can't seem to find it anywhere. The one and only tube I have was given by TMC. It's so effective but really cannot find hor? Anyone know where can buy??

my mum and I are going bonkers too. 15mins is hardly even called a nap to me! I spend more time coaxing her to sleep... I doubt my gal is getting the required 15hrs of sleep per day. At night, she wakes up 2-3times too. :s Want to swaddle her but she refuses. Put her on tummy to sleep, sometimes work, sometimes don't. Now, she must suck pacifier. Pacifier drops, she cries. We put it in for her after hearing her cry for sometime, she sleeps and then when it drops, the cycle continues. No proper sleep for her (and me)
Wonder if it was a wrong choice to give her pacifier!!!

sassy,
My gal also like tat, but only on face and elbow. I bought the SebaMed facial cream to apply and bath with SebaMed Bath also...now much better liao. Have to always clean the rashes area. I use only boiled warm water. My gal's skin cannot use baby wipes. I also stop eating egg and spicy food, afraid she allergize to it bcos still TBF.
You hv to try everything and slowly find out the cause, c what can and what cannot.

hi, i am back....started working half day since last wed and been so busy clearing emails. Today onwards will work full day liao. Been reading the msgs here but rarely post cos no time.
My boy also refused bottle...no can accept slightly better...but drink much lesser cos can see that he slim down liao....a bit hard pain. Last wed when i started working, one whole morning he only drank 90ml leh....hard pain ah..quickly went home and latch him on...he gave me a pathetic look when i reach home. But what can i do, i need to work ma. Now he drink much more but still not drinking sufficient according to his weight. Lucky he put on a lot of weight during the 3 months...else think he will become bery skinny.
At first, we gave him NUK teats but he keep crying when we put it in...then we tried pigeon. He took the wide base teat. I thought dun waste the nuk bottles so bought one normal size pigeon teat but he reject. Ask the pigeon ppl at taka fair then they explain got difference cos wide base one more like mummy's nipple...cos when their chin can touch the base (the wider part)...hence it is like breastfeeding. make sense too.
Btw, pigeon M and Y size difference is that M size the hole is bigger and the milk can flow out even if baby dun suck. For Y teat the cut is really a Y shape...so milk will only flow when you suck...that's why is leak proof.
As for no pooing, if you see reduce intake or baby's behaviour become different, you should bring them see doctor liao....cos their tummy maybe very filled up and hence no appetite and uncomfortable.
Milk supply, i only pump twice a day at work....aiming at 400ml during work. At least another 100 ml in the middle of night cos i feel that my baby should at least drink at least 500ml during day time. Calculation for one whole day milk drinking is 150ml X baby's weight in KG.
For my number 1, as i pump for long period, my milk supply will become less, so once i go home, i will let him latch so as to tell my body that i need the milk. It will make a difference bet latch on and pump.

hi mummies who started working, can I check do u gals managed to get to work in time? I am late for work almost everyday! That is even though I wake up at 6plus to pump milk, feed my gal, prepare her for infant care, then I need to send her to infant care before going to work. Feeling so stressed as I have so much work to clear in school but so little time as I need to leave on time to pick her up from infant care. It doesnt help that my hubby is always working late, thus the moment i reached home, i need to settle her and clear some housework. by the time i finish everything, its almost 12mn. Feeling so tired everyday.

are you a teacher? I don't know how I'm ever going to survive when I go back to work. Usually wake up at 6am to prepare for work. Now, even though my mum can take care of baby for me, I still need to pump before I leave for work. Meaning must wake up so much earlier! :s
<font color="aa00aa">michelle</font>
Is your baby very active? Did you eat a lot of NeuroGain during pregnancy? I wonder if it's because of NeuroGain that makes my gal so active and so alert that she is unable to fall asleep properly. Overactive? Coz my SIL also consumed a lot of NeuroGain and her child like mine. Super active. Don't take much naps. Naps are short. At night, always wake up. Sometimes, I really dread taking care of her.
<font color="aa00aa">ernmum</font>
If according to your formula for the amount of milk baby should drink, I think my gal is drinking below requirements! She's supposed to drink around 800ml but she drinks only 600+++ml leh. But she drank 700+ a few days ago, now resume to 600+++.
Today even worse. She drank 30ml and can last 1+hr. From noon till now still like that. Cry a lot too. Managed to burp her but she still don't want to continue. Don't know what is wrong. :s

No take pacifier then how you pacify him?

Mummies,
Some of your bb already sleep through the night right? For those of you not following any GF method, etc, did your bb sleep through on their own or did you wean them off the night feed? My bb's last feed is usually around 9plus or 10 and he can sleep until 3 plus 4am and wake up for feed. It's becoming a "routine" liao so I'm wondering if I should increase the amount of his feed during the day in order to wean him off his night feed??? Any advise?

Yes, they say talc powder bad for BB lungs etc etc. Some mummies dun use at all, used lotion instead. I buy non-talc powder.. I think after 3 mths, it is quite okie to use normal powder already.

mcfluffy
I don't think it is NeuroGain issue. I had NeuroGain since 3 mths pregnant and still eating them since I am breastfeeding. My BB take nap quite well, he sleep 2-3 hrs nap on my bed and maybe 30mins-2hrs if on mattress at living room. He consider active when awake, always kick and kick.. lol
Yvonne
My bb also like urs, sleep ar 6 hrs then will wakeup for milk. I din train him, it just come naturally 1 day.. Sometimes, when he make noise, I would offer him pacifier and he will go sleep a bit longer.. else sometimes when i come back with the milk, he went back to sleep already.

how much neurogain did u take? wat is considered alot? my gal is also very very alert and active. she's only 6 weeks old but she gets bored easily and always wants to look around and observe things. like when i bring her shopping, she refuses to sit in stroller, wants to be carried so that she can look around. and very very hard to put her to sleep. in the day time, she hardly naps at all, maybe 1-2 hrs max if im lucky. very tiring to keep up with her. i have no time to do anything else. when i had the detailed scan, doc already said her brain matter a lot and asked me is it i took alot of dha. sigh...now too active le.

Wow, I look at your schedule I also want to faint. Peifu ah! But u sure u can continue such packed schedule in the long run? U r only sleeping about 4hrs each night! =( Poor u! Hmm.. perhaps can leave the housework for weekend.

I have been trying to fill up my son's tummy to get him to sleep longer at night. Total 7 feeds each day, each feed between 130ml to 160ml. Last feed 11pm+. But he still wakes up every night at about 3am+ for milk.
I read that we should fill up the babies' tummies in the day time and also do 1 last feed b4 we hit our bed. But look at my son. He can drink 1 whole feed at 3am+ nearly every night. According to Tracy Hogg, I am to take out this feed and divide it among all the feeds in the day. But I look at my son, every feed he also drink till ful already. How am I suppose to increase his day time feed further? I really have no idea. =(
Btw, my son drinks so much still not very chubby leh. =( Your darling's weight makes me envy

trying for #2
Jia You to mummies trying for #2! ^_^
For me, I am still struggling with motherhood. Really no time for myself. My time has been devoted to my son solely. I don't even have time to take a bath in the afternoon even though I smell of sweat and sour milk! =S Think will concentrate on him in the meanwhile b4 I venture the trying route again.

AhCapp,
i sleep ard 6hrs (4hr wake up pump, then sleep another 1-2hrs). so far still can tong. But dunno whether can tong or not in the long run. At times, if I am really tired, I will send my gal to my mum place for overnite. And I will get more sleep during that day.
Did u swaddle yr baby at nite when he sleeps? My mum told me to swaddle my gal at nite when she sleeps n indeed, she sleeps longer. usually start swaddle her at 8pm feed, after feed she will doze off, then i will dream feed her ard 11pm, and it can last her till 6 or 7am in the morning. My gal drinks 6 feeds a day also. Only once awhile she will wake up for a nite feed ard 3 or 4am.

Hannah,
I used hot water to sterilise pump at work. I buy a few more bottles which is enough for 2 pumps at work.
U can buy fridge-to-go to transport yr milk. It can last abt 12 hrs outside.
I only express 2 times a day in office. once during lunch time, and once ard 430pm.
I used hot water to sterilise pump at work. I buy a few more bottles which is enough for 2 pumps at work.

Yes, i swaddle my son, but not his arms. Maybe I should try to swaddle his arms too tonight. Thanks for the tip =)
Currently, I am still at home. So like u, I will sleep total about 5 to 6 hrs (3 hrs, pump, 3hrs). I can feel part of my body dying already. At least I can still nap in the day. It must be really hard on u =( Take good care ah.
Btw, u just put your pump into hot water for sterilising? But we still need to use soap to clean up the pump right? Btw, are u using manual or elect pump?

AhCapp,
My worry is that even if I increase the day feeds he will still wake up at night then how?? I think he's already drinking too much so he may end up drinking even more if day feeds are increased and he still insist on the night feed. Any mummies suceeded in this method?

Yvonne,
actually yr bb quite gd already can sleep 6 hrs straight...the thing now is to try and adjust such tat the last feed is ard 11 to 12 then he'll wake up abt 6 lor, like tat considered sleep thro the night liao..
for me wat i do is an extra feed at 12am before i sleep...usually she won't be able to finish a full feed cos she's still half asleep, but it's kind of just a top up and then she'll wake up at 6am for her next feed
