shannonbaby, aiyo..i was tinking of signing my girl nex jan when she turned 2, tht ur girl n mine can be kakis..
 
aqua, no choice. we sold off our house already so will need to squeeze with my ILs for the timebeing until the property market downturn. plus my baby boy needs someone to take care. My hb bu fan xin to let my maid take care alone. So best is to stay together and my ILs will take care of my kids while the maid does the hsework.

else our gals can be classmates..

shannonbaby, ic. but u sure u reali dunmind stayin with inlaws? why dun u buy a place nearer them? at least u can bring the maid n ur boy for them tolook after in the day?
 
Aqua, ya really must thank you lor. hehe, take so much cos the new Friso is more exp by $7 per 900g tin leh. Last time, I also stock up a lot, some at my MIL's place, some at my own place. My hubby thought I too kiasu but now only left with 1 big tin and 3 small tins. If don't stock up now, wasted lor. Actually sometimes RaeAnne has bad habit of not finishing her bottle of FM sometimes, Eg. this morning I made 220ml of milk, she only drink 100ml. The rest I have to throw. That's why I always beow promotion cos exp to keep throwing away FM. But I kiasi mum lor, rather make more and throw if she can't finish then let her go hungry cos I didn't make enough FM for her.
 
aqua, as of nw, I dont really mind staying with them esp since they even give up their master bedroom to me. Anyway, my ILs know that I am a very pampered gal and I am very busy with my work so when i reached home after work, I only have time for my kids, no time to quarrel with them. Plus, I dont watch TV (so no fighting over TV), and I love her cooking and she always make special soup for me.
Anyway, my hb refuses to buy a house nw given the crazy property price. he will only buy when the price is low.
 
Pauline, the soup my mum made is not bitter leh. maybe your CL put more pao sim or other herbs?? I remembered my mum put red dates, gou qi and dangshen or dong gui?
 
Kitsune, aqua,

NTUC supposed to have same promotion period mah...Teban outlet said promo ended on 31st Aug while Bedok branch is TODAY! I must tell my mum to ask NTUC WHY??
angry.gif
 
steph, the promo is till 2 sep or while stocks last? is the teban ntuc a small outlet? the bedok ntuc is huge, prob tht y they have many stocks till today? dun be angry...

kitsune, my girl can drink 260ml per feed, everymth, she drinks 5 or 6tins coz she duneat solids, so i need to stockup. but storeroom limited space liao, otherwise, i would buy even more!! haha
 
shannonbaby, ur huby v practical. he is right, nw prices v high. unless u make a gd profit from ur old house then u buy new one. otherwise, stay with inlaws better, saves $ if u dun mind the lose of privacy.
 
Thanks, mummies. For the warming milk advise. So for the next time, I have to let my boy wait a while when I am trying to warm up the EBM. But the thing is that sometimes my mum can be discouraging. She sees the baby crying so bad and will soft-hearted and ask me to give FM instead. I hope that this time my BF will be successful like Kam.

Kitsune,
New Friso 3 is packed in M'sia? Sorry to say but I also don't trust their standards. So sad, my girl is adapting well to Friso... I really don't want to change unless necessary....
 
Aqua,
Your girl is not taking solids at this stage? Amazing... Can still only rely on milk? My MIL said my girl will ask for food sometimes even though she has 2x of 240ml milk + 2x 180ml milk daily (total 4 feeds).
 
krystle, jia you! just turn deaf ears to what other pple say. imagine when i first started to bf my gal, my hb tells me to give FM cos his colleagues says if give FM, the baby will sleep longer at nite. I proof them all wrong when my gal sleep through when she is 6 weeks old with fully BM only. Nw, my hb is so pro bfing that he will go around telling his colleagues that BM is better than FM.
 
krystle, yes, she is like a baby! i need giv her milk feed every2 to 2/5hrs coz milk nt filling.
she is too fussy and dun eat any rice or porrdige, dun eat meat or vegie or fruit! v headache..but lucky her weight is good.
 
aqua,
yah Teban small outlet. Even Jurong point outlet so big oso don't have any promo at all.

krystle, aqua,

Wow both your gals can drink so much milk! Z only drink 4 x 180ml max daily + 2x solid food niah.
 
pauline, when i was giving shaun FM last time, my dad will finish the remaining. now i finish the remaining of his oatmilk
 
kitsune / blessedbaby,
If this is my #1, I will definitely do whatever I can to BF as long as possible. But now I have #1 to take care also, I don't want to leave him out, I wanna to spend some good time with him. I'm the one who do all the work, pumping and night duty etc, hubby does help out too, but definitely not night duty :). I have to respect my hubby's opinion also, and his intention is so that I won't be tired out (we don't have any help once my parents go back).

Regret? No, definitely no regret, cos I have and I will try my best :) As I wrote in my blog, if you read it, afterall, my dear Hao Re grows up beautifully on formula :) (though i never doubt BF is still the best)
 
Jess,
Congrates that you have finally sorted out the childcare center. When will Javier start schooling?

Aqua,
Wah, your gal is really a milk baby :) Big hole in your pocket ya.

krsytle,
My boy is drinking Enfa, all purchased from Malaysia from Day 1 onwards. Malaysia standard not that bad lah. But then, of course, it's your personal choice.
 
Shannonbaby, wow! Your bb slept thru at 6 wks old. Mine only slept thru at 9/10 months

Aqua, wah your bb not on solid even till now? Can ah?? enuff nutrients or not? Eat little or doesnt eat at all??
 
Hi Kam,
thanks
happy.gif
i think i will let him start maybe next month or maybe earlier? so tat he can celebrate children's day is school? hahaha...

Kam, jia you wor. i have been reading ur blog. keep up the good work. i think u are doing a great job
happy.gif
 
kam, yes, she is on FM since 1 mth, milk reali v costly, but lucky now onli 1 child, not so bad lah!

tongtong, she totally refuse solids. if we feed her, she will 'spit'it out.
sometimes, i add some fruit n veggie supplements into her milk. from her weight n height, shld be healthy ba. even the doc says eating rice is not as good as drinkin milk.
happy.gif
 
kam, jia you! I am also in the similar situation as u. will be the one handling the baby day n night esp since my hb works long hours. done it for my #1, so dont think will have any prob with #2. anyway, I hope to BF as long as possible for my #2 too.

tongtong, yup, my gal sleep through at 6 weeks old. I was lucky cos I am back at work when she is 8 weeks old.
 
Aqua, wah first time I heard doc say that eating rice is not as good as drinking milk. Dunno what is his basis? I find that FM is still processed food wor. Yea your gal really fussy hor, feed everything also spit out.. strange leh.

Krstyle, msia FM low standard? I tot the source is the same just packing at different place? Anyway I grow up drinking msia FM also wor..

Shannonbaby, you are really lucky to have an easy bb! I had interrupted nights since day 1 mine is born, even till now.. so tiring..
 
tongtong, white rice is onli carbo and sugar, also consider processed. onli the brown rice is good, coz it has more nutrients. yes. sometme we go restaurant, eat sharkfin or fish, she also dunwan, so silly

anyway, so milk formula sold in msia are same in sg.for eg, last time friso sold in msia and sg is all made n packed in holland. but onli made in holland , packed in msia. so when u buy milk, remember to check the place of origin and the distributor and packer country .

tongtong, r u planning no.2?
 
kam,
actually once yr supply is enough u dun need to pump already, just latch directly lor. Only when u go back to work then u need to find time during the day to pump. When u reach home just latch also, dun pump.

Aqua,
wow...which dr is that? My dr always say eat solids better than drink milk.
 
Grumpus: good or bad is very subjective, depends on individual child growth, health , weight n height.
as long as ur child is healthy and falls in the acceptable weight/height range, no need to put to obessed if they take solids or milk more :p
 
tongtong, I am not very lucky la. cos eversince i got No. 2, my gal has been waking up at night to look for me, insist of sleeping on top of me, etc. as tiring as when she 1st mth like that.
 
Kam, ya just do whatever you want. Everyone's priority is different when it comes to raising our own kids. Happy mummy is most importannt.

Tongtong, I'm like you. Never had a good night's sleep since RaeAnne is born. Last time it's because I'm BF. Only after I weaned her off and occasionally she stays over at ILs place, I can sleep from 12 to 7am uninterrupted. ;)
 
shannonbaby i oso like you wait for property downturn to sell/buy. dont want to buy expensive place and next time if sell off again, sure loss.
so for the time being cannot be near my son *sob*

aqua
your gal still dont wanna take solids?
my boy started to take fm again, slowly but steady. now at most in a day he takes 90ml x 3. not with bottle. in a bowl of cornflakes and such
my boy no more take bottles liao. i am thinking to wean off his pacifier. should do that long ago lar
 
kitsune
usually i charge $20 per box of 50pcs but for jan08 mummies i waive off postage for any quantity (no. of boxes) purchased.
 
I see, okie, thanks. See whether I need first, if supply low like no. 1 (hope not), not much extra to store since I'll be at home to feed her most of the time. Not like last time need to pump at work. ;P
 
mei, are you still around? Do you know if Sentosa Luge rides got height limit? Hoping to bring my gal for a ride next Fri when I'm at Sentosa.

Hi mummies,

Back in action. Was down for the whole of last week...Sick and think down with H1N1. Fever reaching 40 degrees and when fever subsided, then came the cough and flu.

Mummies,
Do u know what is nice at Sentosa to check out with our toddler? Been Donkey years since i went there. Going there this weekend.

Kam,
How is baby doing??
 
mandy
yay im going sentosa this mth too but dunno when
you go liao then tell me what is good so that i can follow yours heehee
 
Mandy, I asked the same question about Sentosa but no answers yet. ;P Thought of bringing her to the Luge but don't know whether got height limit or not. :p
 
kitsune
what's "the luge"?

used to go sentosa every sunday but that was before i got married. sentosa has changed so much from then till now so i dunno the new attractions.
but those old old attractions, i would suggest the underwater world, and butterfly park.
dont go dolphin lagoon pls coz really the dolphins are kept in captivity and its NG for them. if no demand = dolphns could be freed. do a part for mother earth pls? hurhur
 
Hi Mummies,
Just now went out with my boy for lunch. After we crossed the road and walking towards bus-stop, this old auntie sort of "reprimanded" me. She told me in hokkien "it's so hot, you should carry him!"...I just smile and walk away. Wah lau! I feel like telling her 5 mins of sunshine is good for him ok! She sounded like I'm such a bad mummy for letting my son walk under the sun...aiyo, cannot stand these kaypoh aunties.
 
chaye,
now spelling for K2 very chem hor...next time my turn xiong cos 1 year after another since Z & R only 1 year apart!

kitsune, Mandy,
