coz my breastmilk not enuf.. he didn't want to latch on coz flow too slow, nothing comes out.. but we thought he didn't want to eat. But sometimes we'd prepare some ebm in a bottle he also dowan.. those times he needed to burp. Needed to run thru a checklist to eliminate the possible causes. Aiyo i dreaded every night.. super stressed, my body not used to all the night wakings, i pump 1hr only miserable 30ml & the stupid ameda pump so noisy & if i wanted to pump elsewhere i had to bring out the motor, find socket etc..
2nd time round i already ran thru in my mind & prepared myself for all the midnight poo episodes, know better how to burp & swaddle newborn etc. A bit more clever than 3yrs ago lor..
i remember rylee is c-sect due to breech & u were quite sad u couldn't get your wish for natural birth.. and her bday 3 Jan issit? 1 day before my EDD.

Morning all!
Today in very good mood. Cos yesterday night finally managed to catch a good night sleep. What we did was very simple - let my boy co-sleep with us. No more waking up and no more crying, yeah! Think it's the comfort and security that he got from us made him sleep soundly. Will probably have to continue to do so for another week or so, then slowly put him back to his cot again.

Good morning mummies,
How u all train them to drink from straw? like the pigeon mag mug. I tried a few times Javin still dunno how to drink from straw, always end up bitting the bottle.
Do you give fruit juice to bb daily?
Recently i have been giving javin 2 tbs of heinz bottle fruit juice. Cos daytime wking and mil not keen in giving him fruits to eat so got to resort to fruit juice.

Kam,
Javin also have the tendency to wake up in the middle of the nite crying. I'll give him my bolster(got my smell) he will go back slp again. Sometime cannot wk then i make him co slp for a while bring him back to his cot. If he slp with me i scare HB hit him during sleep.

Jacelyn,
Hao re has been sleeping very well in his cot, don't need any comfort. Only this week there is something happening, which we don't know why. So we resorted to co-sleeping until he sorted out whatever "problem" himself, cos we can't see, don't know and can't help. Just to make him sleeps better. He already has 2 hours less sleep than usual, as he goes to bed at 11pm instead as 9pm. All I wanna do is to make him sleep well. I actually don't have problem co-sleeping, as I am a very light sleeper, though hubby is not, but my boy always hugs me to sleep, leaving hubby plenty of space.
RE: Drinking from straw
Maybe you want to try to fill up the straw (those usual straw that adults use), then hold it horizontally and ask your boy to try sucking the liquid. Do that until you see him can suck very well, then put the straw back to the mug and he should know then how to suck from the straw. That works for my boy.
RE: Fruit juice
Fruit juice is not as good as fresh fruit. Not much (in fact very minimal) fiber in juice. Esp if you give commercial fruit juice, it's artificial to some extend though they claim is pure, is 100% etc. Why can't you give him fresh fruit? Not too difficult to prepare. Fiber from the fruit (and vege) is very good to help in the digestive system.

Kam,
Co sleeping is amazing hor, can solve all probs
My girl used to wake up every hr or so crying, dunno why also. But when I let her sleep with me she's fine, so she's been cosleeping with me for the past 3 mths or so.
Thinking of moving her back to her cot soon. *Fingers crossed*
jacelyn
does yr boy like water? if he does u can try when he's a bit more thirsty. also, sometimes they dun suck cos they dunno that when they suck got stuff mah. so it's kind of like a fluke waiting for them to suck one time then realise that they get water when they do that. One other way is using the adult type of straw and holding some liquid in the straw, put the straw to his lips and release the water, that way he will associate the straw with water, when u put the straw back in the cup, he will try to figure out how to get the water out.
mei,
i went HK for 5 days,
1st day arrival day - nothing much
2nd day - Disneyland
3rd day - walk around relax
4th day - Ocean Park
5th day departure day - nothing much
personally hor, i dun like ocean park. everything is very spread out and have to walk very far from one attraction to the other. depending on timing, also have a lot of china tourists which makes it a very bad experience.

QQ,
kids are very smart hor. I let my girl try milo from my packet once and now everytime she sees my milo packet she wants to grab it.
When i let her suck a bit thinking i'll pull out the straw before the milo reaches her mouth, she will use her teeth to hold on to the straw so I can't pull it out!
wendy,

this morning, i told xandall wakie liao, cannot eat tutu anymore. so i held out my hand and asked him to give me the tutu. he spit out from his mouth and onto my hands. then i asked him where is the hanky? coz my mil always wrapped the pacifier with the hanky and put in 1 corner of the bed when he falls asleep. so he was looking all around the bed for the hanky, saw it liao, picked it up and pass me. then i wrapped the pacifier with the hanky he kept protesting, coz he wanted to continue sucking on the pacifier. i told him big boy liao dont eat tutu one...he sort of understands and stopped crying...
aiyoh...after the fever, he 'dong shi" a lot liao leh...yesterday he tried to wrap the pacifier with the hanky himself and give me the whole package. damn funny

wow your boy quite agile.. is the cot lowered all the way?
grumpus
ever what?
I went Ocean Park Dec 08, we spent whole day @ the higher part.. didn't bother to take cable car down to the lower part (sorry forgot the correct terms). Coz we joined a local day tour, reached 10am, depart 4pm.
We enjoyed the long walks coz weather was great. Breezy, hot sun.
My friend who lives in HK prefers Ocean Park to Disneyland.. she has frequent visitors' pass & can go during weekdays at discounted rate. Her 4yo girl loves it.

my baby calls everyone "mama". My dad, my husband and me... actually he can say "baba" calling my husband, but sometimes he points to him and say "mama". He even calls neighbours in the lift as "mama". my dad says so embarassing.
re: potty
i place tobey in a corner so that he can't move. And give him a book/ toy/ whatever to distract him while i make the "ng ng" sound for him to poo.

i came across the brand when i'm doing some surfing and checked out their site. i'm currently using pampers (purple packaging) at nite time and drypers or pureen dry5 in morning.
found pampers smelly in the morning when baby wakes up...is this the same effect in your babies too?
