Thanks xiaoyun, bkkgal and happymum. After this episode, realise that erm.. being parents are not easy leh. Esp worse when ur baby is sick... over at genting, my hubby evern resort to using his mouth to suckk out mucus from gwen's nose cause she kept tearing and her mucus keep running and also blocking her airway. I really think my hubby has done a lot of things for baby, he is a bit hard hearted but much more patient compared to me.

i know what u mean, they sometimes so kelian hor
but must be careful, my 18months nephew now q spoilt cos ILs (caregivers) always give in to his cries last time and now he is inbetween crying/throwing tantrums about everything - eating, changing shirt, etc. most days the minute he steps into the house he is already protesting about something. aiyo!
btw just FYI i just got my exploration station today. i think the shipping for it alone probably cost about USD30+? (i shipped other stuff as well, so looking at the size and weight overall lah).
bkk
wow, well done!!!
do u still do dream feed?
but for pram, i think my bb prefers to see me also, altho he only sometimes cries in the maclaren, he seldom cries in the quinny...
h@ppy
your mum so happening!! maybe if it's heavy u can put outside your home and collect petty cash from other neighbours who want to let their bbs sit, hahah..

bkkgal, well done, I must try to do that too but always not sure if she's getting enough in the day to cut out her night feeds. Maybe can try to push her around in the pram at home first, will she tolerate? At least no one to interfere?
Busy busy weekend cos PT cleaner not free to come and today's not much better since I'm still awake at this time. Sigh.

house too small lah...cannot push ard..
Is RaeAnne waking in the night? Normally is hungry or just wanna play? At one time, mine was waking up habitually at 4.30 am. Very jialat. One way to test is to offer water until they find it's not worth getting up to drink water anymore. hee!

hi mummies...
long time never post here....just saw your gathering pics at jass's multiply site... looks like you all have fun !! sooo nicee....all bb gal looks soooo cute, me also want bb gal !! hahaha.. keep telling my hb...next one bb gal yeah
i didn't know about the gathering and even if i do, i still have problem bringing my son out coz he still dun want to drink milk outside... v difficult to feed him outside so usually he will "fast" unless he is extremely hungry, then he will get crankyn due ultimate combo of "hungryness + sleepyness"...till now we have to wait till he's sleepy and give him milk while he's falling asleep...not a good habit i know but rather than not drinking, i resort to this
promise myself if i have 2nd one, will train to bottlefeed from beginning and not feed him in bed anyway, bcoz of this we hardly bring him out for long...and if we do, have to make sure there's a quiet nursing room where i can feed him...
bkkgal,
just read about your pram episode...my cayleb last time also dun like to be in his pram, so what we do is like what kitsune say.... first month we put him in pram and push around the house, at least in a familiar surrounding, then after he "graduated", we "promote" him to bringing him out every morning around the block... and now he will be happy to see his pram coz he associate pram = going out... oh, my house is also small but just try push around living room, kitchen and bedrooms.... might want to clean your pram's wheels first to ensure that your house doesn't become dirty from it...
bx/happy,
re light bb, i think my son can also go into that category... showed my hb the bb's pictures and he commented that all bb seems v chubby compare to my son... he was around 7.5 at 6mth and i think for a bb boy this is considered quite light now worse, think he lost weight coz he's been teething so since sun he didn't drink/eat much... on sunday was baaadddd, i think he only drank 200-300ml at most!
okay...gotta go back to work...

tute - just wondering have u statrted baby on solids? Maybe he prefers food to milk? My baby is also not a milk baby, one day only drink 400 ml, in addition to lunch n dinner tho. I was so worried but pd say as long as she's gaining weight is ok to give solids.

i know what u mean abt not wanting to drink milk outside.. my bb was partial bottle fed from day 1, but he's still so curious and kaypoh when we're out, he'll hardly drink or not drink much. a friend suggested i use those breastfeeding covers if i want to bottle feed, but anyway now on solids he's pretty ok and will eat when everyone is having lunch.
but i guess some of our bbs just don't seem to like milk much, which is a bit reassuring that it's common. some days my bb hardly drinks also, but others he can chug down 600+ (which is considered good liao!) in addition to his 2 solids.

Jia you kate's daddy and mummy.

my mom uses chicken stock to make the rice porridge... and started giving him farley biscuit mixed with milk as well... but now he refused to eat prob due to teething
iso/jass,
haha...we are on the same boat !! very stressful when you are outside right... hey jass, what kind of biscuit are you giving matthew ?
cheryl,

i plan to use a thermos type cooker, like the thermos shuttle chef or tiger type ones. i bought a small one, i think it says 2L but it sure dun look like it could hold 2L of water to me, hee.

i salute u leh re training kate to sleep thru the nite. there was once i tried not to feed shawn when he wakes up at nite. carried him for half an hour trying to soothe him (or maybe i shouldn't have carried him?) but he kept crying non stop. finally i bu ren xin and latched him on. thereafter he wakes up another 2 times on that nite. worse than before. probably he was frightened. feel like trying ur method. my only concern is that he'll cry till vomit. can only try the cold turkey method when i'm on leave, else i'll become a zombie at work.
tongtong
u don't like ur current job/company?
tute
glad to hear from you again. shawn also didn't want bottle initially. after i went back to work, guess he knows either drink from milk bottle or go hungry. so he chose the former
bkkgal
maybe u can consider getting a small slow cooker. there's those that's really small and is perfect to prepare porridge for baby.

cooking porridge:
i use those small slow cooker also. just nice for cooking baby portion.
bkkgal: my gal was waking 4.30am for a period of time, then i feel maybe temperature cold (was actually 25 degrees), so i increase to 26 degrees, subsequently she sleep till 7plus..heng.

iso,
yeah i also dun mind the not drinking part...but the crankyness that comes afterwards is what's tiring me but then again, i think it depends on his mood...
stephie,
hehe...yeah, somehow today feel a bit free... usually i'm running around like a mad woman in office. somemore now pumping takes at least half an hour so overall oredi 1 hour gone with 2x pumping in office...and can't do ot coz bb waiting at home so gotta maximise time in office...
cayleb's drinking from bottle now just that he only wants to drink on our bed lying sideways and can only drink a lot when he's falling asleep
bkkgal,
you can do it !! hopefully kate can get used to her pram soon... keep trying ok
tongtong,
re waking up at night...recently y son been waking up twice during night time instead of once...maybe due to teething i try to sleep earlier now around 10-11pm to make up for the lack of sleep
btw, any mummies giving homecook porridge + breast milk purely? wondering if i need to give iron supplement because my son still on tbf and he does eat cereal now mainly because i worry if give home made porridge then he won't have enough iron intake?

don't lose confidence in yourself. just try your best.
i haven't let my boy take porridge yet. will do so after i let him try more types of vegies 1st. so far, he tried avocado, cereal, sweet potato and potato.
you can use beet root to cook with the porridge but don't let him eat 1st. 'cos beet root quite difficult to cook till nua nua one.
you can cook brown rice porridge instead of white rice. 'cos brown rice more nutritious. last time, for my gal, i add in millet, and lentils as well.
then, when he's slightly older, you can let him take egg yolk, mushroom, green vegies, tofu, carrot, seaweed. then, can add in a bit flaxseed powder (either blend it yourself or buy from those organic shop).
what's quinoe?

Tongtong..my boy wakes up at 4.30am sometimes. Somtimes he doesn't. But I think now I so used to it..in my dreamland I can't even really remember whether he woke up..heheheh
But I dun mind him waking up leh..at least can clear my breat and keep supply. Wonder whther its good for him to wake up to feed at night as this age.

i plan to gv my boy porridge when he's 7 mth old. will add millet and the vegies he has been taking during this mth loh. and slowly add new food and try if he's allergic to any new food. that's my plan lah.
sweetpea
i think replacemenet meaning instead of feeding milk for that meal, you gv solid.
my boy is still taking 6 feeds and only 1 time solid before the milk.

when u say slightly older, meaning like 10 months? so many things to feed but sometimes no clue what to do, haha
what exactly is millet?
sweetpea
if my bb hasn't had enough milk during the day he will also wake bet/w 4-5am, otherwise on other days he'll sleep from midnight to 730... i think they are still hungry and need the milk.

hi mummies,
just brought erlene for her 3rd jab & back home..
sigh, her weight gain is v minimal.. only increased by 300g since 1.5 mth ago..
her weight at 6mth 3 week is 7.2 kg
her height is 68cm (5 cm up from last height taken 1.5mth ago)
doc said she is growing well looking at her height despite she din gained alot of weight and she may grow up being a tall & slim gal..
*will my erlene be a supermodel in future? =P*
re: milk/solid intake
sigh, erlene was drinking lesser these few days, sometime drink only half of her usual 150ml..
we also tried feeding her with kor kor's porridge but she does not seems to like it..
her small appetite is the main "culprit" for her light weight ! haizzz..
so does my erlene won the throne for being the lightest baby ? lol...
