hi piggy mummy: dun get too stress
the most impt ingredient in growing a healthy baby is loving family.
Others are just elective.
As we all know, the most impt thing one has to learn is to be happy and confidence.
Not the kid with most toys will be the most successful person.
How i wish i can be a sahm, i want to teach my gal the way of life. Beside growing her academically, appreciation of the simple things and morals etc.
Wanted to get flashcards, i also scare i dun have time. I want to spend time with my gal playing, not just flashing cards.
currently, my plans are 1) latch on my gal and 2) massage for her every evening b/f she go to bed 3)set a routine for her to read everyday 4) play with her at least 1/2hr a day.
With these 4 activities, already taken up all of my time with her.

piggy_mummy: Don't stress k? We are all learning too. Some of us are just too anxious (me included!). Because I am not a SAHM, I feel that I don't have enough time to spend with my baby, so tend to want to make it up to her on weekends, and in ways like playschools and flashcards. With all these ECA/CCA for the baby, must also make sure you can cope. I am perhaps lucky as my mom will probably do the ferrying of my baby when she goes to playgroups if in the weekdays, and she does the flashcards with my baby. OOtherwise, you have already given your baby the best by being a SAHM!

hi all...
I was recommended by a friend to read this book.
Einstein Never Used Flashcards: How Our Children Really Learn--and Why They Need to Play More and Memorize Less [BARGAIN PRICE] (Paperback)
http://www.amazon.com/Einstein-Never-Used-Flashcards-Learn/dp/B00196UBTO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1214752870&sr=1-7
Authors and child psychologists Hirsh-Pasek, Golinkoff and Eyer join together to prove that training preschoolers with flash cards and attempting to hurry intellectual development doesn't pay off. In fact, the authors claim, kids who are pressured early on to join the academic rat race don't fair any better than children who are allowed to take their time. Alarmed by the current trend toward creating baby Einsteins, Hirsh-Pasek and Golinkoff urge parents to step back and practice the "Three R's: Reflect, Resist, and Recenter." ....

Re: SAHM n FTWM
I also wish i can stay at home n be a SAHM but no choice, no work no $$$. I console myself that at this point of time i can still afford to work abit more. When she is older n needs more attention i will maybe opt for part time or quit to stay at home oh well, take a step at a time dun think so far think too far too stressful...
Now i m only concern that my milk supply dun dip when i go back to work and hopefully can come back on time each day and spend quality time with my baby before she goes to bed.
Thanks

wow... can't catch up with the thread...
SAHM
piggy_mummy - congras! U are among those who are willing to scarifice career for bb. Don't be stress! I am also a 1st time mum, jus surf web to get info and keep harassing friends who r more exp.
For the YBCR and flash cards, I guess it is my way to compensate bb for not being able to teach/play with him for most of the weekdays. By the time I am home, bb only ask for feed and then sleep. How to play with him or flash a card?
There are pros and cons of being SAHM and FTWM, we jus have to make the best of our time

kea,
Rotavirus jab is esp gd if ur bb is in a infant care environment. It helps bb to reduce the chance of getting infected, eg; flu,cough & etc bug
i got my gal jab Rotavirus last time when she's a baby coz i used to put her at an Infant Care or 5mths. if i'm not wrong 2jabs for this.
SAHM,
Yes... i agreed w wat Veronica said. Treasure every moment w ur bb whenever u can if u work.
Staying hm w ur kid is gd coz u DEFINITELY hv a strong bonding w ur bb. I chose to stay hm w my gal and till now even when she's cheeky and i scold her, after a while she will still snuggle up to me and always asking for mummy...
But, never feel bad if u r a working mum. It's tough to hv to work and ur heart is thinking of ur bb. I've been thru that for 5mths till i called it a quit when my gal was 9 mths old. Esp for bfg mum... got to go extra mile to exp BM, store and tpt it hm.
All mummies are GREAT... regardless u r a SAHM or FTWM

I wish I could be a SAHM, with the help of a housekeeper
Reality is, I'm a FTWM who is supposed to work full day today, and my MIL (baby's weekday caregiver) has just asked me to bring the baby to the PD later for a checkup, worried that he is increasingly fussing during feeds and his "hands and feet cold" ... ah well, looks like another busy day of running around.
Sherin, I O$P$ you for gymboree books in batch 2, please give me a day or two to make the IB transfer. Thanks v much.

this sounds gross but as long as your office toilet is decently clean, you can try to pump in the toilet. many mums have done it in toilet cubicles, it is very unappealing, but that's reality for you. i think it is a waste to give up BF if you still have supply. hope things work out for you!

hi stretch
welcome to april babies thread
funnily enough, starting about 2 weeks back, my boy also has been fussing at the bottle. he'd drink a little, cry a little, then drink... repeat about 3-4 times. sometimes he stops at half bottle and refuses to drink anymore. luckily, other times he does finish his feed. i'm bringing him to the PD later to ask for an opinion, MIL suspects wind. as he grows older he refuses to sit still to be burped, thus wind is a possibility.

brought my girl for her 6-in-1 jab. the doc advised to take rotavirus vaccine 2 weeks later, but i tot can take together with the jab? anyway she was crying her lungs out after the jab it prob won't do any good to try to force the oral vaccine down her throat heehee..
finally my girl passed the 5kg mark. she's now 5.1kg, 2 months old and her birth weight was 2.8kg. seems to be on track for the weight gain.. but dunno how to increase her milk intake, now she's drinking 90-100ml, still every 2 hours or so in the daytime. nightime she takes the same amount but can stretch longer, maybe abt 4 hours.
anyway the doc said try to give ebm that's as fresh as possible, cos the antibodies will die very quickly. made me so sad leh, think i'll practise last in first out even for chilled ebm..

sherin, i cannot do internet transfer thru OCBC website. Am going PD later will find an ATM to transfer to u ya.
Feed: Byron's intake is also very erratic. In the day he can be full with ard 80 - 90ml, but at night i give him 150ml he also can finish! Better ask PD. He is also very distracted like Kea...... keep wanting to talk back to us when drinking his milk.
FTWM: I am going back to work tomorrow, gosh its so fast that our ML is over. I think its going to be hard to continue BF but i will preserve!!!!!

Re : Amt of feed
I gave my boy 150ml of feed, and if he stops, that's his required intake. I won't force him to drink. Now at 11 weeks, he's drinking 120ml. I use this method only if he keep crying after the feed.
Alternative, can try to increase the feed 10ml at a time, and c if bb is satisfied with the feed.
Hope it helps
