Lukemommy, I also going to let my baby take the vaccine for Rotavirus cos that time 2 of my nephews kena and they lost quite a bit of weight and buttock always red and pain.. When BIL tried to wash their buttocks, they kept crying cos pain. See already heartache.
Winnedy, I always get mine from Giant leh. Didn't really see how much is it cos anyway, still need to get one. But we save quite a bit cos in the day, my baby is at my mum's place and she uses cloth diapers unless baby going out then use mamypoko.
felval, I think pigeon milk bottles shld be able to fit in the Avent bottle warmer.
My hubby will auto wake up when baby cries. Sometimes I didn't hear him cos my left ear cannot hear at all and when I sleep on my right ear, I can't hear a single thing. Haha.. I will wake up when I hear my hubby talking to baby or baby cries but usually when that happens, hubby is already feeding him. Sometimes when I can hear him, I will wake up and make his milk lo cos try to help as I know hubby has to work and is tired too. But he never needs me to ask him to do this or that one. He will auto wash the stuff at night and sterilise them. But those milk bottles that my mum used in her home while my baby is there, we will come home, soak in warm soapy water for a while and asked the maid to wash then hubby will sterilise.
My vaginal entrance there sometimes will still feel sore when I walked too much(too much pressure on it). I thinking maybe cos of the forceps delivery + I didn't rest alot during confinement cos I took care of my boy alone. My friend told me takes 2 months to heal. I also not sure but see how it goes cos anyway, seeing John Tee on 10th July for pap smear.
I understand some guys don't feed/change baby at all lo. So I guess you prob shld feel glad when your hubby tries to do some things. I'm sure if he's not so tired, he'll try to help ba. For me, I think I'm one of the lucky ones that have a hubby that does alot. So sometimes, when I mood swing and scold him, I feel really bad.
Haha.. Ya.. We got so many similarities.. Since you stay near your mum, why don't bring your boy to her house and stay at her house? At least let the baby and your mum get used to the day routine first before you go back work then when it's time for you to pump, just go home and pump lo. I'm doing that now so I'll come home to pump my milk when it's time and sometimes rest alittle while and surf the net. Hehe.. But my maid and my 14 month-old nephew are at my mum's place somemore. It's definitely not easy taking care of baby alone, I have experienced that totally during confinement and almost went crazy and I guess that's why I still feel sore cos didn't lie down much probably about 7 hours a day only.
For me, my mum resigned last year when my nephew was born so now she is quite fresh from taking care of baby so not so bad for her. Hehe.. I think we're both lucky to have mummy to take care of our babies. At least we know they are in good hands.
You told your hubby you want 2nd one, I was telling my hubby I don't want anymore cos my boy everytime at the last feed of the day after 10pm one, he doesn't want to be bottlefed, he will cry and cry. Then I will latch him on, if he good mood, 15 min on each breast, he will sleep liao. If bad mood, will drink then when unlatch will cry then can go on for like 2 hours at least. Wow.. Can die. My hubby can't help so will just watch and see what I need then sometimes dozed off. Just waiting for him to outgrow this.
6-in-1 is $325 for 1 shot only? We going KKH also cos got PD mah, then can prepare tons of questions to ask him. LOL... For us, think already spent so much on baby, this little one won't be alot more I guess. But not sure how much more it will cost as compared to polyclinic.
Are you driving? If you are, then far or near also doesn't matter lo. Time is not an issue ba, can always take leave when working lo.
Btw, you stay in Yishun right? Then how come that time you are at Tampines Giant? Haha.. So far for you. I thgt you staying nearby.
I think the baby swimming that ant1712 mentioned is only for baby ba. Cos I saw one in Harbourfront Centre next to Mothercare. My hubby wants baby to go there also. But think cheaper than what ant1712 mentioned leh, not very sure though. But I got the free trial voucher. Maybe can go for a try. Hehe..
cutie188, pray that your girl will be doing well! As for the milk rash, my boy also had that last week and now alright liao. We bought hazeline and apply on his face. Maybe you can try and see if it works. His skin also became dry, tight and scaly after a few days when the milk rash didn't clear up. After hazeline, now it's smooth.
As for the medela binder, I got it from eBay and helped Dolly and panpan to get theirs too. Nursing bra, I got it from Amazon.com but this one got to use parcel forwarding company like Comgateway. The medela bra is a sleepbra and it's like racerback kind but think medela got other kind of bra also.
As for milkbags, I haven't use any yet but planning to use it when I go work. Heard Lansinoh ones are not bad, I'm going to organise a spree to get them soon. If you want, can let me know.
Haven't try tommy tippee milk bottles before but read some forums in US and seems like Dr. Browns one is good for colicky babies.
Haven't taken fenugreek before cos now milk supply increased and is more than enough for my boy(supply building up in freezer).
Yanling, I believe if you didn't use a pump that suits you, you will probably get little milk from it. I didn't pump regularly la. Sometimes 4 hours, sometimes 5, sometimes 6 and this morning about 12 hours. Haha.. But on the average, I get at least 40ml per hour. My nipple on my left is different from my right cos it's a normal nipple ba. Think it's either flat or inverted so when pump, the nipple will become hard and abit pinkish. Did you try using Avent Manual pump before?
As for care for baby after ML, my mum will be doing it. In fact, she's doing it now. Hehe.. She is staying just a storey above me. So every morning, I'll bring my baby up and then sent my hubby to work. Come home and pump, then go up for lunch. Sometimes linger upstairs for a while. then afternoon come down and pump again. 6pm pick up hubby then go my mum's place for dinner then about 8-9pm bring my baby home. How come you don't have a 4th option to bring baby to your parents' place in the morning and bring baby back home after work?
Kelcqi, that time when my supply not enough for baby then I tried 3-4hourly pumping to help increase la. Now stabilise liao, not so regular liao but still pump at least 4 times a day. Haha.. Try to take DOM right after your last pump before you sleep lo. So that if you wake up at night to pump/feed baby, the alcohol already gone.
Sometimes, feel like just walk into the salon to lose weight la. But sometimes, feel like waste of money since hubby n I got lots of debt.. Sigh.. Dilemma leh..
I used to check my hubby's phone and msn messages last time cos his ex gf always sms him and his ex colleague(super bitchy) always msn him, then I will flare up at him when I see funny messages exchange. But I understand my hubby is trying to be friendly la. But now I didn't liao cos don't have such time and effort and I also know my hubby don't have time liao la. Haha.. And since we're already married and have a baby, don't think he will do anything funny lo cos he will break my heart and also his parents' heart cos I will take away baby from them. Haha..
I also realised that my milk abit oily leh cos sometimes can see the oil on top of the milk and milk bottle especially the teats very oily after use so I will soak them in warm soapy water and use brush to wash them.
Kelcqi, ignore your MIL la. If you get angry and pissed off with her, you got into her trap lo. No point.. Baby will keep changing so you won't know who she looks like until she grows up so doesn't matter now. Just enjoy your motherhood. Hehe..
Re: Sticky eye
My boy's right eye got sticky eye problem since birth. Always got green stuff there. Use the prescribed eye drop for a month, it was better but never got well. Anyone got any idea what's wrong? Didn't use the eye drop liao cos can only use for 4 weeks and have to discard. Now it became worse. Sigh..
Re: Gathering
Should we have a gathering? Think it's fun to have all the babies together. Hehe..
