Bethmom,
True , i go for brands especially carters, gymboree, osh kosh, laura ashley , gap, old navy but hor worth the money u spend lor nicer materials & sturdy enough for longer usage ! I use to get those 3 for $10 or less then $ 20 type but material lousy, cant keep for long ! Anyway being getting these lovely items at bargain price from auctions, sprees, budget outlets not at the retail outlet lah !
I have been bringing all my 2 elder kids + bb to see Dr Saw since my eldest son is born 12 yrs back ! He is really good worth my money spent & trouble to go there everytime ! Usually 1 trip to his clinic cure liao !

I realised my boy today coughing away and got phelgm. Can hear him wheezing away. Don't know if it's due to the jab yesterday. Sigh..
cutie188, ya.. Last time my mum kept telling us to study hard lo but she never give pressure. Ended up, my elder bro didn't even finished secondary 3 and younger sis only completed N level. Only me, thinking that I shouldn't be like my bro, I pushed myself to study hard and went through NUS for my degree studies. I think in Singapore must have certification to survive ba. Like now, my bro quite cham, sis doing better than my bro cos she's doing sales. But I think studying, this kind of thing cannot really push too hard one esp if the kid is very stubborn or cannot take pressure.
Good that your hubby now will help abit lo. But seriously, how did you manage to take care of all 3 now? I really cannot imagine leh. Haiz.. 1, I already going crazy liao. Haha..
You staying in Aljunied ar? That's still quite near me. Btw, the Dr Saw, he's a PD? Where exactly is his clinic ar? Don't know shld bring my boy to see doctor or not?
Tracy, my boy also likes to see his Rainforest mobile by Fisher Price. He will keep smiling and talking to the monkey, parrot and toad. When he sees us, also never smile or talk so much lo. Every evening, he will be cranky one, then hubby and I will leave him in the cot and play his mobile then after 15 mins, the song and mobile will stop, then he will shout and we have to turn it on. Haha.. Sometimes when he's too cranky to drink milk, we also put him there and feed him. Haiz.. Really buay tahan him. Don't know why kids nowadays so hard to handle.

felval,
if i never remember it was you who mentioned that you have a MIM pouch right? What you got is the pouch and not the sling right? I like to know if the pouch is good to use and is it easy to use? I got the sling but find it troublesome because of the rings.

Hi,
Any mummies keen to get a nursing shawl with me? Price at $36 for 3 pcs and above with free postage (to 1 location), instead of $38 (+ $2 for postage). I can post out the shawl at cost after receiving it. Good to have a nursing shawl on hand and you can bf almost anywhere. Really convenient. I even tried nursing on a public bus! I got 1 already but would like to get another one to use when the other is in the wash. Do pm me by 14 Jul if you are interested.

icebubbles,
the sling was safe, my baby never drop, just find it troublesome to put on, that why now i considering the pouch.

Peace: I've the nicest parents in law. At first they said no need to pay but we insisted. We only pay them $600 a month. They buy bb's food and diapers for us, and even cook our dinner for us. Wonderful, right.
Sling:
the sling is very good to use once you got the hang of it. I sling my girl everywhere now. She likes to be in the sling and sleeps well in it cos it's so warm and comfy. BB won't drop one lah.
Dewdrops:
I've a friend who is a stay-home mom. She makes nursing bibs to sell. It works as well as a nursing shawl, except that there's no matching pouch. It's like a bb's bib but big enough to cover to whole body. The length of strap is adjustable too. Many of my friends in church and I buy from her and we use it frequently. It cost less than $20 each. Can choose designs as well. Can find out more from me if you're interested.

Hi Bethmom,
The price is really attractive. You mention it's a nursing bib. Does it mean it only covers in front but not the back? Got picture to show? Because I don't wear nursing outfit, hence usually my skin will show from the back when I lift my blouse up. Can it cover all round?

Hi Musizgal,
I also use a baby sarong from babysupplies. I will always carry baby in the sling whenever I go out. Both my elder son who is already 3 year old and this 2nd one also like it. They can sleep very long in the sarong when I walk around with it and my arms are not so tired.

Fion: Yah, I'm always very thankful for them. My MIL is a retired childcare teacher some more, so I'm 100% fang xin when my girl is in her hands.
Dewdrops: The bib only covers half the body so what I do is that if I'm feeding on the right side, I'll shift the bib to the right so it covers the right breast and the back of the right side. Baby's legs can still be seen lah. But at least the breast and skin at the back is covered. I also don't wear nursing clothes. I'll try to take pictures and pm you. Do you accept pms?

Poko,
My boy very complicated. Weekdays at MIL's, he drinks 120ml 3hourly. At night with me or on weekends, he drinks 2hourly via direct latch.
As for sleeping, he's now very awake in the daytime, especially if we go out, he likes to stay awake. Naps only in car. At home, after bath in morning he very alert. I estimate the most he sleep in the day is only about total 4-5hours. But he will KO at night pretty early, about 8plus or 9plus.

My girl also very sleepy, but sometime she sleepy at the wrong timing, like 6pm she refuse to wake up we even put her near her gor gor who is noisily playing his toy, increase the TV volume try to wake her up she just sleep. Then she awake at 6am to poo... *_*" Really afraid she sleep too much in the day time and nite time refuse to sleep.
Choc, your boy very guai lei.
Tracy, your boy very good already, as compared to my girl (7 weeks old). She only takes cat naps during the day, ranging from 10 - 30 mins. Only 1 long nap a day, about 1.5 - 2 hours. At night only KO at 11 plus. Very tired during the day. When she's awake she's mostly fussy. Wants to be carried and walked around. Any moms got any suggestions to make my girl sleep better and longer during the day?
Feeding is 2 - 2.5 hourly.

Poko,
my boy only have a few short naps in the afternoon, like 30min - 45mins ... usually after his feeds. And if we go out shopping, he can sleep throughout. And at night, if i fetch him early from my MIL place, he will sleep around 9pm - 10pm, and will only wake up during midnight for feed.
My boy is @ 10 weeks and drinking around 150ml every 3hrs - 3.5hrs.

Hihi ladies,
Haven logged in for a few days already, kinda lost track of where I stopped. I almost die liao, cos since last thurs nite, my gal dunno why, her sleeping pattern changed. Everynite only slept at 5 plus. Can die man! Tried everything we could liao, useless. She juz cried and wanna be carried.
Haiz, so frustrating. Although I appreciate the nites my hubby took over e nite feeds n i can sleep till 10am, sometimes I also get pissed wif him cos he thinks I'm bias towards his mum. Seriously loh, I just don't trust them not only with the unhappiness things tt happened, but the way they handle bb. He said even my mum dun help out, his mum can. But I can bet on it tt if she helps out, we also dun get to rest loh. For every small matter, she gan kiong like wat, sometimes I really wondered how she brought up her 2 kids?!?
Ask U all hor, do you all feel happier when u are juz alone wif ur hubby n bb only? and pressence of your own parents or in laws? I felt tt way u know? Mayb I feel less pressured when I'm alone, that's why. My in laws ard, they only know how to talk senseless stuff, comment on how i handle things when it should be easy? Say baby cry, juz treat it like music lah, wat bbs very easy one, they only eat n sleep n poo only... Basket! Easy den handle themselves lah, only talk nia... Then my mum will pressured me on my BM. She everything abt e bb will blame it on e BM. I super pek chek loh.
Anyone of your bb have rashes on their face? Mine have 2 patch of rash on each side of face. Sigh, I dunno issit ppl kiss my gal or my gal wipe her face wif her mittens. Today I used nappy cream on her face, dunno can or not...

Hey kelcqi
I apply some zaricort for my girl rash, very very thin layer. Doc say only can apply for a wk but this kind of rash will gone when they are 3 to 4mth old. Don't worry...
I also prefer the moment with my hb and my 2 kids alone, my mil don't say out thing directly I feel very xinku to guess what she is implying... She also keep reminding me I am lousy without saying it directly. I think I might go crazy due to that. Today she told me why not my boy sleep with me... As recently he keep waking up to cry middle of the nite, but my boy will look for me half of the nite and look for his dad the other half depend on his mood, so I told my hb go sleep with his mom. She got thousand of suggestion that interrupting my life style. BTW my boy is sick and my girl need to be nurse middle of the nite. She only think of her son. So I suggested why not I sleep with mine and she sleep with hers.
Kelcqi your bb still very young should sleep more leh maybe you got to keep him awake after 6pm until 8 plus... My girl when sleep and refuse to wake up at 6 plus I very worry one as afraid she might disturb me middle of the nite.
Dolly your boy is drinking alot 8) My girl sometime 60-90ml can last her for 4hrs. Now she wake up once during middle of the nite but she wake up rather early.
Bethmom
I let my girl sleep on tummy, sometime if she refuse to sleep I will sling her and walk around to make her into deep sleep then put her on tummy. I think is okie to carry to make BB sleep as my girl don't know how to sleep by herself.

hi all,
going to pick up the maid today, veyr sian. cos frankly i dun really want to have a stranger in the house, but in order for my mum to get some help after i go back to work, we've decided to get a maid to help my mum alhtough i dunno whether she will be more of a help or nuisance.
so mummies who have maids, do you have a sample timetable of wat you ask the maid to do everyday? as first time employer, i am quite clueless leh. sigh...

hi Yanling,
I siggest u draft out your family routine as a guide first. U work out what u wanna yr maid to do with reference to your routine. Some maids wake up very early (eg 5am)in family with schooling kids. Just a brief one from my household...(we take care of DD-31mths and DS-2mths by ourselves. Maid is mainly responsible for housework)
Morning chores:
Sweep and mop whole house
Laundry (hand wash items)
Prepare breakfast
Prepare things to bring to childcare
Prepare food for cooking in lunch
Sterlize bottles
Afternoon chores :
Prepare lunch
Cleaning up
Own initiatives / Free time
Prepare food for cooking dinner
Night chores :
Shower my DD (31mths)
Prepare dinner
Cleaning up
Feed my DD
Play with DD if we are busy
Sterlize bottles
Basically u hv to identify the daily/weekly/monthly chores. I drafted out everyday's routine for my maid when she first came. Don't assume they will have plenty of common sense especially the newcomers else you are likely to vomit blood
Have "fun"
