angel - Maybe you should bring your baby to see the PD. Don't worry lah...all PDs are very nice (so far for me)...they are very patience and will listen to us complain and complain...ha!ha!
 


angel,

seems like ur girl might have colic.... do u find her tummy bloated?? anyway maybeu should bring her to PD for a check n see why she feel so uncomfortable n always cries. My 1st boy also cries a lot n a lot for e 1st few months until I dont dare to bring him out shopping, everybody was so so scared of him during e 1st few months cos he is really a crying baby. I brought a electric yaolan for him but he also dont want, in e end i everyday got to carry, swing, rock etc etc to make him stop crying until i injured my wrist..... come to think of it tat was really a suffering 1st few month until i give up e thought of being a SAHM n get a maid n i went back to work on e 5th month.

I apply 'ma you' on bb bellybutton b4 bath. Heard this prevent wind. Similarly, will wait an hour aft feed then bath as my bb will poopoo 1/2hrs aft feed. I will lower her leg 1st then butt. Last time i use to wash her hair 1st, clean up then take off clothes &amp; bath.
U might want to slowly go thru ur bb joint to see if any part is hurting... Or maybe she prefer aircon as hot she will be fussy?
All trial &amp; error, if bo pian then see PD lor..
 
samsoon - Good luck! Hope you ace the interview, girl!!!

hi angel,

same as me, my MIL n mum also very scared of my elder boy last time. My hubby n I always got to take turn to rock n carry him in e middle of e nite, my hse is facing e expressway so when we carry him to e living room at nite he can fall asleep faster but once we carry him back to our room he will wake up a scream again..... in e end i got a maid but by e time e maid come my boy is already 4months+ old n my MIL is at home supervisoring e maid. I agree tat better not to leave maid with baby alone at home, maybe u can leave them at ur PIL or ur parents' hse during e day n bring them back at nite if not worst case u should install a camera to supervisor wat's going on at home.
 
angel,
yes.. i jus press press here press press there.. he loves the touch lor.. den tummy rub..

samsoon,
i will start wif cleaning of his mouth.. den follow by his face.. den hair.. den unwrapped him and dip in water.. pat pat his chest.. den start the bathing.. kekeke..
 
samsoon: what is ma you? you buy from medicial hall? diff from ru yi oil is it?

hey.. good tip.. wash hair 1st, take off clothes and bath.. will try next time..

ya.. all the best for your interview!

elaine: oh... all my parents n in-laws are working so no one can look after the maid leh... if onli there is someone at home, i will hire a maid immediately..

i feel stuck at home.. can't wait to go to work asap.. this is the longest 3 months ever in my whole life..
 
angel - Another way is to bring baby to tui na (chinese massage). I have a friend who brings her girl there as she has colic and western medicine cannot help either. So far, the tui na helped lor.
 
babycupid: ok.. i will try press press her.. maybe with her clothes on 1st.. in case she screams her head off again..

for bathing: i will clean her mouth, eyes, ears, face then hair.. pat pat her chest with water then slowly put her into the water.. once inside water bath very fast le..

she usu start crying in the middle of the bathing.. all the way until i finish wearing all her clothes.. sigh..
 
Sometimes when my kids drive me up the walls, I wish I can go back to the workforce and be a FTWM. However, have discussed this with HB liao and the cons are more than the pros leh...haiz!!!
 
JP: oh ok.. where to go for tui na? any TCM is it? can ask your fren for the place? thanks..

but i'm not even sure whether if she reali got colic..
 
JP: i reali 'pei fu' you for being a SAHM.. its actually very noble and self-sacrificing.. if its me, i can't stand being at home loh..
 
angel
ma you is sesame oil...but i think olive oil also can lar cos the purpose is oil prevent water. i bath bb between 8-10pm. After tat she sleep like pig. Elderly say will kana 'fong si' but i off all fan/aircon &amp; close all window. I increase my bb tummy time on my bloster &amp; its help to get off some wind, she love it too.

babycupid
U want try squeezing water on bb hair..hehe. My bb open her mouth &amp; start to drink. Aiyo.. got soap inside. Since she like it, i prepare lukewarm water &amp; splash on her head.. she love it!
 
JP,
Yes, my 1st child, BB gal. I stay in Sembawang.

Angel,

"Ma you", is the sesame oil used for cooking when we are on confinement.
If your bb dislike being touch at her stomach, maybe that is the part that cause her to cry for everything. You shd bring your BB to see a PD, just in case there is something wrong with her stomach. So that problem can be found earlier, then can cure faster.

iamsnow, your gal got so much hair
happy.gif
My gal looks so botak.

Fennie, I still can't get BB to latch on directly correctly. She bites my nipple and her suction is too strong for me. She caused me to have sore nipple and serious engorgement for the 1st 2 weeks, almost give up on bf because of it.

Hi ladies, seems like I am late to check this forum you all started exicited about the gatherings I was thinking of, so fast. Let me attention this post to some dear ladies first then I get down to the work of gatherings in CWP and Buffet Gathering thingy.

Cynthia, got gathering I sure ask you one, coz rem you told me you also looking forward to 'check it out' with us, hee, dun worry lar.

Crystal, my mgr not easy lar, he is waiting for me to go back office to stand by for him while he planning to go Taiwan. He won't allow me to go UK one even though others over there want me to so I leave to god. Hee, anyway, I just want to go for the cool autumn weather and get away from work niah.

samsoon, I see how lar, even down there 'sinz' feeling if hb wants also give lar, painful for 1st or 2nd time only, most important, our relationship still going strong. Yesterday told him, I kept doing all things for him, he didnt even offer go my mum's house pick me up, wat if I die one day who is going to wake him up every morning, get him dinner and look after his needs? He told me easy lar, so many women out there to do all his biddings, haiz, big talk.

Mor, your Ashton very handsome leh, a bit like angmoh. Iamsnow, I like your gals face and eyes, so sweet.

nss, thanks. Jaret also handsome boy with boyish look, he very guai leh, not like Vivienne, aiyo, go out always look around, get impatient if does not the surrounding. She slept througout the late afternoon till this morning except for feeds, then hor, woke up very early, I couldnt express out my morning milk so have to latch her on. Hv to bath and eat breakfast in between her quiet time. Then just now brought her go PD for her phglemy throat and 6in1 jab. Finally sucessfully used my sarong but she sling in when sleeping and want to come out look around when she awake, haiz, this gal more difficult than her bro.
 
baby cupid: my mum told me tat too.. that my baby will be better after 3 mths.. this fri is her 12 week.. i'm relai hoping n praying that she will be better from next week onwards.. but i'm not having high hopes..

samsoon: ok.. thanks for the tip.. dun know my mum will let me apply ma you on her not.. haahahaha..
 
angelz, where did you disappear to? I was telling my mum I couldnt find you, she said maybe I too kaypo liao so you disappear because of me. Glad to see you active here again. Heard about your mum helping you with Sheryl, I am sure she will grow out of this difficult phrase very soon.

JP, me FTWM going back work on 1st Sep. TIA for the update.
