menses
i aso stl dun hv leh, he is 7wks already.
adeline,
yah your ger very independent, can say hullo first! i was v amazed! glad she is enjoying childcare
kathy
i aso started 2 wks back when bb was 7wks old. i think too late liao, coz i stl same size! but the massage is v gd to release muscle aches. my massuer v gd, she only goes ard north areas n charges $50 for 2hrs. pm me if u wan her contact.
hb prec,
i go to jack focus for my helper. i think it is not the agency but the svc staff tat makes a difference. my hubby and i did our research and went to several agencies in same bldg, u won't be surprised to see the same maid profiles popping up. they get their sources from the same training centres. the only diff is how much does the agency charge you. the shopping ctrs with a lot of maid agencies are katong and bukit timah. if u wish to get a referral for jack focus, PM me. my fren recommended me and i got $100 off agency fee. oh yes, you can aso do some research on the agency track record on MOM website, e.g. maid retention rate. happy searching!
p/s: it was a long and hard journey finding a good helper. i returned my first one after 2wks coz she started giving me attitude problems from day 2 and that was during CNY period. dun wan to clean windows and cook, and asking for HP and clothes all within the first week. i in turn had to cook for her when i was nearly due. in the end we survived w/o a maid during the first 2 wks of my confinement. i am just glad i was not kept captive in fear by the first one. if you nd one now, pls start searching soon. it takes time for them to clear training ctr test and aso the entry test in singapore if you are looking for freshies. for ex- it is much easier, shorter waiting time.
shopping/gatherings
abc, r u planning anymore gatherings? i hope to join at least one more before i start work end of this month!
milk volume
mine aso same as your babypink, around 120-140ml at max at 3.5-4hr interval. i stl thinking of buying the PIS even though i m using the ameda coz feel my breasts not tot emptied. but if the yield is the same then very sayang right? hmm.. dilemna!
how long w/o latching
7hrs, juz happened yest. he finished eating at 8pm. i was quite tired from an outing yest and slept from 10pm-3am instead of having a short 1hr nap.

hope only first flow is this heavy.
jeangal: 2nd flow normal amt?
happyface:ur bb how old now?
my boy can only sustain 2-3hrs w/o latching while outside... daytime
nighttime abt 4-5hrs w/o latching.
i think the older they get, the lesser they drink at nite... my boy only latch max 15mins at nite per interval.

A cool video on twins n triplets n Alternative Delivery... only in US coz in Spore we are too kiasee I'd never dare go through what they did.
Hubby Precious
The agency i go to is pretty reliable. At least the agent is honest. His name is Desmond 81632503. Tailor Maid Agency. They have their own maid training centre in Myanmar.
As for maids, it's always a gamble, regardless of agency.

petrina,
so fast your menses came? if mine's anything like my previous post-partum experience, i should get my menses only after 6 months. i am still totally breastfeeding my bb. btw, if u dont intend to get pregnant again, be extra careful with contraceptions. my 2nd child comes in as accident liao.
adeline k,
my menses came after 6th month last after first delivery. now bb is 9 weeks and still no menses yet.
hubby's precious,
maybe your bb is overstimulated? just carry him and pat him to sleep. sleeping can also help the bb gain weight.
babypink,
i hope u're not worried that u got 125ml after 4 hours. that's b'cos kyzac only takes in 80-90ml per feed. so that figures. as for me, i can express 6oz after 4 hours but then again, my bb takes in 3.5-4oz. sorry lazy to convert, i use Avent bottles, the oz value is bigger and easier to see hehe.
sterlizing tablets,
wish i had read the forum haiz. i got the tablets from kiddy palace, pigeon brand. after sterilizing, my bottles smell like chlorine and the instructions says, once taken out, can be stored and used. is that true? smelly leh.
dreymin,
my girl put her fist in her mouth too. she does that everytime she wants to feed. so that's her hunger cue. after feeding, she goes to sleep. nowadays she hardly cries. maybe b'cos she knows that mommy knows what she wants. hehe.

thanks all for your advices..
anyone use Nation Maid? I was looking through their bio-data and i think i'm interested in one of the philippino maid.. probably will call them up and ask them about the fees etc..
melissa,
i don't know.. maybe he is.. he has no problem sleeping and he is gaining weight.. its just after feeding he'll cry.. not sure if he is not drinking enough..
sometimes he makes noise with his throat during feeding, and i always pull the bottle out cuz i'm afraid he'll get choke, end up he cry also... but i cant force myself to give him the bottle cuz i dont want to risk he choking on his milk. feeding sessions can be quite "quarrelsome" for us sometimes.. haha..

kais,
thanks for sharing the video
btw any website to share for baking? wanna try baking butter cake. agree with you rdg maids, it is a gamble with the agency.
hb prec,
nation is v expensive and not necessarily better. try and call them asap if u found someone u like coz the gd ones r snapped up v fast. if this one is taken, can aso try kais' contact.
melissa,
mine will cry for attention and milk. my helper and me stl carry him most aftns even sleeping

dreymin,
i've checked with Nation. For philippino maid, the agent fee is only about 500+.. the maid salary is $400. quite reasonable i feel..
i'll probably try kais' recommendation as well.. just to give us more choices.. hopefully i'll be able to get a good one..

ladies,
i read from a website that you can start to remove their mittens once they are 6weeks so that they can start moving their fingers and learn to grab hold of things...
but of course you must remember to cut their nails before you remove them as they will scratch themselves...

i have a contact of transfer maid. She has worked for her previous employer for over 10 years and they let her run their household. Her current employer cannot afford her i guess due to financial problems. She's Filipino and very reliable. Highly recommended but i couldnt afford her fees which is $450 a month before levy.
You can sms me at 94770974 if u keen to contact her.
