on your oversea trip, think u can let yur mgr knows abt yur interest still tat wif bb or not, u r still keen to participate in the grand opening. i m sure yur mgr will be more than pleased to know tat u r still very tuned in to the co's stuff...</font>
 


Glad for all the sharing, it's good to know i'm not the only one facing latching issues...

My boy likes to latch to sleep, he naps between 30mins to 2.5hrs, night can last 4hrs. Last nite latch 1 over hr. Latching becomes his pacifier, tried giving him pacifier also no use cos he spits it out after awhile. Now he fusses a lot wen wan to sleep, will cry to latch on…

When alert, attention span less than 30mins (maybe even lesser) then cry of boredom, wans to be carried.

He also cries once put into cot but not always, it happens wen he is not in deep sleep, so manja.

Any of ur bb coughs to clear throat?

Seen my bb laugh in sleep few times, like being told some jokes, he goes hur hur hur

Fennie, added you to msn liao.

CWP nursing rooms: I just went there last week. There is a big nursing/changing room with 2 nursing cubicle inside. There are 3 big armchairs in the room as well (for mommy who can feed with baby in the bb sling/nursing shawl. )However, when I was there last week in the morning, there was a daddy in the room changing his bb. Luckily the nursing cubicle is free. However, the nursing cubicles gets very busy during lunch hour (around 1 plus) - babies also need lunch mah.

Veniz, Vivienne very sweet baby

Hi ladies,

Super long never log in to chat with all of you le..

My baby is giving me a hard time such that i'm scared to be alone with her sometimes.

She has very bad temper. She will cry when bath, when changing diaper, even when drinking milk. Have to talk to her n coax her if not she would not do any of the above.. I'm so exhausted everyday.. Its like doing battle with her..

And i feel like crying almost everyday too.. Cos she will cry until very very chiam. She will cry until whole face red, with tears n mucus, someitmes cry until cough n choke.. I will cry with her too..

And the scary thing is that i feel quite detahced from her from all these battles..

Anyone got advice?
 
I missed the last gathering at merchant court cos i was the 1at to give birth.. I would love to go for this gathering to meet all of you.. esp veniz..

But i scare to be alone with baby, dun even say go out le.. sigh...
 
samsoon,
mine is a boy.. kekeke..

haiz.. i tink all bbs are the same.. mine sometimes oso kept crying when goin to slp.. or while drinking milk.. seems like his colic is back.. but dun seems like it.. cos he dun arch n suqeeze himself till red red as the last time.. so i tink its jus passing phrase issit? but he smile,luff and 'tok' alot now.. bery cute.. kekeke..
 
babycupid: your baby oso cry when dirnking milk? or when going to sleep? then how you handle him?

anyone help you?

sometimes i feel like a lousy mum.. such simple things like putting baby to sleep and feeding milk oso face such difficulty... sigh..
 
i'm always at a loss when baby cries when drinking milk and when going to sleep.. but my mood not impt.. what i'm more concerned is how you get the baby to drink n sleep?

Cos when my baby dun drink she will get hungry and tired if dun sleep.. and that will make her even more upset.. and i reali dun know how to handle..
 
<font color="ff6000">angel

relax.. guess its a matter of getting used to her temper and her cries as to wat they define? isit her diapers? she got rashes? colic? teats salar? there a million reasons lor.. haiz.. its indeed trial and error i can say..

iamsnow

erm i forgot how ur hubby looks like leh wahahhaha</font>
 
ah morr

but she reali cry until very chiam.. reali like somethin is wrong.. but she cries like this everyday..

how to know whats wrong with the diaper? she is wearing S size mamy poko.. Its not too small for her.. its ok.. no rashes too..

my baby has never got colic before.. possible to have colic now? she is reaching week 12 le..

i jus changed all her teats to M size.. all ok..

she will cry whenever drink milk, bath and going to sleep.. she is only quiet when sleeping.. i reali dun know whats wrong with her..
 
angel,
hmm.. i dun care.. i will scold him.. hahaha.. hmm.. when drinking milk he cry at times.. these few days more often.. den i will trial n error.. cos i using NUK teat.. so i will turn the teat to slower flow.. if cry again.. i will turn again to faster flow.. if still cry.. i will stop and burp him.. normally after burping he drinks better.. den when slp.. i make sure he slp till bery deep den i put him in his cot.. den ok liao.. if not i let him slp beside me.. realise he slp better when beside me..
 
angel,
every bb is diff.. mus koe their pattern.. now my bb dun cry while bathing provided u mus feed him b4 tat..(10-20mins ltr den bathe after feed) changing diaper oso.. when he is quiet enjoying (normally is after feed 10-20mins if not slping) den he will jus let u change him.. dress him.. haha..
 
<font color="aa00aa">angel,
*hugs hugs* u r not alone...mine is also like tat now n then...not as bad as mucus n tears but more like throwing silly tratrums with continous crying. when i reai desperate, i jus swing her ard in my arms / dance n play clown lor, normally she would be quiet by then. if not, worst scenario, i 'throw' her to hb to take care b4 i scream at her.

all these are jus phases of their growing up. take heart. i try to psyco myself wif tis...our bbs ve oni come to our wld for the past 1-3mths whereas we ve been living on tis earth for 20-30yrs, so it is oni reasonable tat they r finding it hard to "climatelize" to our envt n they cant verbalise, so they can oni cry. whenever i look at my bb from tis angle, i dun feel so "pek chek" anymore...

hope tis helps...</font>
 
babycupid:

icic.. okok.. thanks.. i oso did something similar to what you did.. i will stop to burp her if still cry.. will stop to talk/scold her if still cry.. sometimes she will jus fall asleep when i talked to her.. but within 10min, she will awake screaming cos hungry ma..

for sleeping, she loves yao lan the most.. so i will put her inside but she will still cry.. then i will talk/scold her or take her out again to rock her in my arms..

your baby so good still wan to sleep in cot and lying beside you.. when i put her beside me, she will oso cry.. she doesn't like sleeping facing up..

however, after all these i'm exhausted.. and i have to go thru all these several times a day..
 
hi everyone
have been real busy today as well. great to hear another gathering on. i am ok to join anytime. let me know.
 
babycupid: ok.. thanks for the 10-20min tip.. will try it.. but usu if if lie her down after her feed, she will have hiccups.. with her temper, if she has hiccups, she will get angry too.. sigh.. so i try my best not to make her angry..

crystal: thanks for the 'hug'.. i oso tried swinging her ard and walking her ard the house le.. she will quiet down onli for awhile.. but like 5-10mins later, she will start crying again..

hmm.. the more i type, the more i think something is wrong with her.. maybe i should bring her to go see PD..

<font color="ff6000">angel

angel,
try to feed her b4 her bath.. after feed 10-20mins can try bathe her.. my son ok this way and he enjoys his bath.. but i tried to bathe him when he awake b4 feed.. he will cry frm start till end till dress him up still crying.. so nw i nvr try tat again.. cannot tahan his crying..
 
jenny: no problem.. wil transfer the amount to you.. hey.. accessories oso can? i thot onli spare parts.. then can i order the simulator as well?

Do you know how it works? Do i insert it while pumping? and is it reali effective?
 
Cynthia - Wow..so nice, going back to the workforce. I also became a SAHM when #1 was born and before I could really start work, I was PG with #2. BTW, how old is your #1? Mine just turned two - terrible 2. Are you taking care of both by yourself? Me too. Yup, with the high cost of living here, 2 is just perfect...can keep each other company and not that siong for our pockets too.

Linda - How to make them sleep? I think each of our babies have their "fussy period" and no matter how we try (I used so many methods and still fail), my #2 will not sleep. But once her fussy period is over, its dreamland all the way. I know how you feel coz when the fussy period comes, my heart breaks when my #1 whines and cries in hoping that I will carry him and sayang him but instead, I will reason with him and lastly shout at him. Aiyoh, I wonder how my grandma coped with 14 kids?

Huggy - You are a SAHM too? Great...at least I have some kakis. Is this your #1?

Gathering at Woodlands - Aiyoh...another gathering that I cannot go... *cry* *cry*....so far from my place leh.

I hope you guys don't mind posting if you are a SAHM or a FTWM so that it will be easier for us to organize gatherings and such. Thanks!

ah morr: ok.. will ask the PD.. i scare PD tell me nothing is wrong.. its jus her temper.. sigh..

babycupid: cos i dun have a fixed timing for bathing.. sometimes it isn't time for her feed yet.. but she still cry when bathing.. sigh.. maybe i should always time her bath 10-20 mins after her feed..
 
Angel - Talking about bathing, I will hug her and talk to her while bringing her to the bathtub. Then I will dip her bum into the water first. Once she is OK, only then I slowly slowly dip her in further lor. Then I fast fast bathe her.
 

JP: I talker to her alot too.. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't work.. i def fast fast bathe her man.. i can't stand her crying n screaming..

Crystal: I oso try to psycho myself that my baby is premature and she is trying very hard to survive.. but i dun understand her crying.. i always tell her: cry softly, mummy will carry, hug n sayang you, dun need to cry so chiam.. mummy see aledi will heart pain..

but it doesnt work leh..
