also to stop if you feel contractions.... but truth be told i have never felt contraction to stop me from latching my boy on.

Congrats to all mums pregnant!! Heehee so happy for you all! Well done! I am still enjoying my "break".....
RE: Latching on
elijah'smum: I am still latching elliot too! 3x daily.... yes esp at night. Think he enjoys the bond. I am thinking to slowing weaning him off. He still pukes out all the FM I give. Hence only with cereal in the morn or some snacks & dessert then I can add in some FM.
Regarding the bibs, I quite like the one with sleeves. But I am planning to get dura bibs in fact.

JRrain: Hi babe, how have you been? Heehee so long nvr chat. Oh so gd to hear u went on holiday *envy envy* Let u know, Elliot is taking similac IQgain. I hv been buying the 400g one so no rusty smell. Anyway he drinks at most 180ml a day so I bought a small can one. I was told by Abbot's nutritionist that iQgain is thicker so if babies not used to drinking it can dilute the milk.

heheh, already have those bibs but boy out grew them and refuse to use them so looking for others now.
re: latching on
hahah.... the night feed as said by the consultant seems to be the last to wean on leh. in fact most babies wont self wean of it till about 18mths or 2yrs leh. not sure about it.
pls keep me updated on how you guys wean of your babies leh. coz i can imagine the fight that i may have on my hands as my boy is quite possessive of us! even i cant hug hubby in front of him leh, nor hug hubby when he is carrying him vice versa too.

jasmine,
just to share, my friend weaned her gal at 15 months. she rejected bottle and formula. only wanted to latch on. e pd advised my fren to rub vinegar on her boobs. when her gal tried, e gal rejected immediately. so my friend told her milk spoil. now she's drinking formula from bottle. she used to drink from avent bottle. now she only want e pigeon one. my friend tested her if she still wanna latch on but she say spoilt she dun want.
mummies expecting 2nd child, congratulations. dunno when i'll be ready for 2nd but I want baby gal. Hehe.

Hi Mummies,
Yes, my 1st one is super clingy to me... He will cry whenever I walk away and keep saying ma ma ma ma... no one else can carry him except me.
That was when we suspect I might be pregnant. : )
Truly enough, doctor confirmed my pregnancy.
I havent seen my gynae yet, most probably due date is End Dec 09 or Beginning Jan 2010..shall update 2weeks later!

could be allergy reaction to the bacteria.... coz i know that my boy will break out like this each time he has the flu (3-4 days after the flu bug hits this will happen). i brought him to the pd to check and he said was just a body reaction to the bacteria. heheh could not be meds as i did not give any to him.

I think she may be allergic to antibotics.
My boy took the antibotics and the rashes start from the eyes and follow by body and starts to spread downwards. i thought it was fake messles but was wrong he was allergic to antibotics.
Suggest you go back to the same doctor again.let the doctor know.
Hope it not allegic to antibotics like my boy...

any mummies weaning babies off the bottle? feeding milk by cup? most books recommend weaning off bottle at 1, but my girl can't seem to be able to drink so much liquids from cup. she'll take only a few sips from straw for fun, by spoon or from cup at most like 10 mouthfuls..
Lynn : I tried to give Julian milk by cup. He won't drink much. If it's water, he can drink alot from straw. For milk, he drink abit then play already. In fact, till now Julian doesn't wanna hold his own bottle. He wants us to feed him. If he holds his own bottle he will drink 1/2 only. How was Adel's party?
Julian's got fever.
Vomited last night. Don't know if he's teething or the weather. He's drooling heaps! he's extremely sticky to me recently but I know I'm not pregnant la. hahaha.
Julian's got fever.
Hi Cloudme,
Your girl was she on antibotics before? if yes, then maybe its heat ras, if not,maybe you can stop the antibotic first, I also thought it was heat rash but it seems to be getting worst so went to consult doctor and realised that it was antibotic allergy.
My Mother-in law also said that it was heat rash but in the end... haiz!!!
I would suggest that you see a doctor to be assure.

araid22, Adel's party went well, the weather was super hot so was really grateful for the aircon.. the day after the party, we realised we did not take any video of the event!
brought our videocam but was so busy we forgot to designate anyone to take video
now only hope that our photographer has good photos for us to remember the day's event by. took an outdoor shoot at Hort Park itself and it was so warm even at 9 plus in the morning. hopefully those pics turn out well too. can't wait to see the photos! but still can't believe we did not take any video. feel like banging my head on the wall lor..

yaps had slight engorgement that went off after a while. now experiencing more engorgemenys especially at night when its about the time that my boy latchs on.
yaps better bring back to dr to confirm so that you wont worry so much.
calamari
elijah, is no longer on bm... other then latching on... if taking formula is is on full isomil. thankfully he is ok with it.
ariad
heheh... i can imagine. poor boy... normally my boy is super sticky if he is not comfortable. as in sticky to me not hubby... think they know that mummy is their comforter and daddy is for play.
re: drinking from cup
it takes them awhile to understand that drinking milk also can be from cup. what i did was that i would drink milk in a cup together with my boy. also if i were to make fresh soya bean drink then i would share my cup with my boy. he started to learn this and got ok with drinking from a cup after about a month of this. before that was only 3 sips of milk and he would push it away.

sigh... just wanna vent my frustrations here. my mom is up to something behind my n hubby's back again. this time... she added light soya sauce to my son's porridge. cos tat time my boy had throat infection and refuses to eat porridge. i told her that my boy was sick. so to whet his appeitite, she go add soya sauce to his porridge. i was wondering since my boy recovered liao but how come he still don like the porridge i cook. so now i discover that he has develop a preference for savoury food.
i really don understand why she always go against our wishes and do things sneakily behind our back. to her is she has raised 3 children 30 yrs again therefore she knows better than me. always bringing those last time theory. now hubby don wan her to take care of baby anymore... cos god knows how many sneaky things she has done behind our back. though she has good intention, her ignorance can kill lor. i donno how to bring up the topic of asking her not to take care of my boy.

Javier is on move everyday...he need to travel 3 places .
every morning he wake up at 7.30am, I will bring him to my mom place, after playing awhile he will continue his sleeping untill 11am plus..he will wake up for his shower and lunch and play until his daddy come and fetch him at 12.30pm.
My hubby will let him play and watch DVD until about 2.30pm and let him nap until 4.00-4.30pm. Then they will proceed to my MIL house for dinner and wait for mummy come back...
When mummy reach home at 7.30pm will play with him until 8.15pm... he will ask for milk milk and sometime want a nap if he insist a nap (he will definitely wake up after an hour) and he will be energetic until at least 1am...
I ever try not to let him nap in the evening but end up..I surrender, cannot tahan his frustration...

hi hoon
u may hv to adjust whole day's schedule so that he sleeps at a reasonable time at night.
i think he sleeps too much during the day.
try to limit nap to max 2-3 hours for entire day.
e.g. ideal nap times
9 - 10.30am
2.30 - 3.30pm
working towards the targetted nap time takes slow adjustment. slowly shorten naps, cut 15min every few days. when it's time to wake him up, turn on lights, make noise, read book loudly, play with the toys etc. make sounds of things that he likes to do, so that he will wake up "happily" & ready to play.
if u find that he is settling into nap times different fm the above, that's fine, follow his bio-clock, most impt is not too have too many hrs of daytime nap.
by 8+pm or even 7+ he should be tired, give milk n zzz n hopefully he will sleep through...
but i wonder what is milk schedule like after 8+? any night feeds? cos when u fiddle with day schedule, sometimes night schedule will inevitably change too!

Hi Hoon,
agree with Joelle. you might wanna do slight adjustment to his routine? As in drag his nap time later ?
This is Xavier's one. Hope this helps:
7.30am - Breakfast, bath, VCD, playtime
10.30 am - He starts to roll himself to sleep
11am - 12.15pm - First nap
12.30pm - lunch, playtime
3.30pm - Rolls himself to sleep
4pm - 5.15 pm - Second nap
5.30 pm - Dinner, bath, play
8.45pm - Drinks last feed
9.30pm - 10pm latest - He KO
He naps about 3 hrs in the day. Then he sleeps through to the next day.
But I hope he can sleep earlier though !

hi joelle
I am a FTWM, so I had to rely on my mum...my mums concept: let him sleep as much as he want...and I also have more time to do housework....now that he is a active baby, my mum will really be tire if she had to follow him around the house..I will also respect my mum decision over my son, i will not interfere her cos I know she is good to our son and not many elder nowasday look after their grandchild...my MIL will not want, she always said she old liao..cannot handle.
As for Afternoon, of cos my hubby who come back from work need to rest so sleep together lah...as for me I will like to spent some time play with him after my work...but by then he want nap again.
Thanks for your useful advises and I will seriously studymy son's sleeping patterns, hopefully I can get my hubby slowly change his...I may ask my MIL look after him in the afternoon so my hubby can rest well too.

Hi Prawnie and Amy
I believe we let Javier nap too long at day time..i have no control cos me at work. My friend actually suggest i bring him out for evening walk so by the time we went back he is tire and so he can sleep through night...so far I never try cos I am too tire/lazy to bring him for walk, cos at night I will be alone taking care of him and my house..sometime I really pray that he will sleep through the night but most of time he will wake up...sigh...

with ur mom's mindset, i think it's difficult to shorten nap time there. your family has quite a tricky schedule , guess baby is just adapting to your schedules too... looking on the bright side, as baby gets older and requires less attention, then he can play independently while the adults are busy or resting, then his sleep time can regulate itself as well.

hi Prawnie
if he turn in at early night he will wake up once at 4-5am for 1 feed, if he sleep late his last feed will be around 11pm-12am.

hoon, I think you can try just letting sleep through at 7+ 8. julian used to wake up at 3 plus for milk as his last feed is at 730. wat I do is give him a dream feed before I sleep about 11 plus 12. then he can sleep through till 630 7. maybe u can try. I think he's taking longer naps because his night sleep is insufficient. if u extend his sleep he should take shorter naps. actually it's good for kids to sleep.
mushloom : I think most elders are like tat. as long as not too salty ok la. give baby abit of taste in their food. my hubby n I used to be very strict with ju's food. a chinese physician told me this might lead to kid being picky eater in future. she would rather I feed everything in moderation. after tat, I've decided to be more relax with his food. but not salty like fish steam with soy sauce la. I allow little soy sauce in porridge and food.
now, he's enjoying his food more.
