(2008/06) June 2008

oh yah... I forget to add.. I laboured naturally without epidural. so it was really painful and mine was considered induced labour too... cos waterbag was broken. but the strange thing is after delivery, I forgot all the pain. really. I was told last time if we don't take epidural, we will naturally forget the pain better cos that's how nature helps labouring mothers cope with the pain. I don't know if it's true for me or if it's all in the mind.. but one thing is for sure, I'm very keen to have #2 soon. And I'll be trying for natural delivery without epidural again although I know I'll be a VBAC situation.
 


feifei, I know how you feel. there are times I can't pacify my boy also... but try not to take it personally. My boy is ultra fussy. sometimes, our babies just want a change of hands. Hang in there!

BabyCupid, your bb really cute leh!! My bb is about the same proportion as yours! As your bb totally breastfed? My MIL tld me totally breast fed babies tend to be more muscular and have rosy cheeks.
 
<font color="aa00aa">shycloud,
maybe she grew lengthwise in terms of ht? mine when brought for her 5th mth jab last wk, her ht oni increase by slightly over 1cm compared to previous mth, also not much growth but PD said more then enf liao. haiz</font>
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">morning mummies..

cactus.. dun noe that u went through so much.. but u are so brave and now all bad things are over.. it's good that things are getting better..
did you try to give baby some gripe water which helps to break air bubbles thus reduce colic?

do agree that the pain is also a brain game, luv can overtake it... ;p

one way to monitor baby growth is weight at birth x 2 at forth month.. that wat i read and told by my PD..

playmat, mummies, it can be use as a yoga mat.. or use to do sit up..etc.. the material quite good and non-toxic thus safer for babies who also tends to lick when having tummy time..
</font></font>
 
BabyCupid, then my MIL is wrong! But your bb is really cute!!!

Ioio, I gave everything back then!! Gripe water, Ruyi oil, Eculyptus oil, anti-colic drops (western remedy)... from buying a baby swing, infant carrier, I tried EVERYTHING!!! But nothing worked. He just cried and cried and cried. These days he refuses to sleep unless he is in a quiet and dark place with AIRCON. He is very cranky when he doesn't sleep enough. When he doesn't sleep, he doesn't want to drink. then he sucks his fingers as if they will give him milk.. it's not easy to look after him but I'm hanging in there loh. what to do? Luckily I'm going back to work only in November. Thank God for that!

Morning gals.

Cactus, welcome back. Waw, your boy more than 7Kg already and drinking so much (at least 1 litre/day somemore). Good for him. We do have some mummies here who mentioned their babies also more than 7KG already, like Leng2, Priscilla, Janiviy, a few more others. Think your boy can be on par with them.
happy.gif
Glad you find your milk supply back before you almost sell your PIS away.

Is your boy still using cloth diapers during daytime, as what you have mentioned before?

Some babies are not easy to take care. I think some of our mummies here are also facing the same problems you are facing, so dun worry as you are not the odd one out.

You boy so fortunate to be able to go for branded stuff. Unfortunately my kids are ordinary average kids who can use anything from branded, cheap till 2nd hand or 3rd hand items as their parents are no rich folks.

Babycupid, I also ordered Goon S for my gal to use at nanny house. I think she yet to use coz still have a few pcs of current brand. But i find goon comparable to pampers premium.
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">veniz.. hee...my bb oso ordinary average kid but as he is the first thus mostly are new.. think for babies and kids doesnt matter whether it's branded or not.. i think i want my bb to learn to treassure things and those who can take challenges when getting older..etc... </font></font>
 
Hi to all mummies! Been quite a while since I last logged in. Will be starting work next week. Feels kinda sad to leave my baby to maid.

I hv some useful websites that u may find them useful.
For free downloadable flash cards:
http://www.babybumblebee.com/company/freebies.cfm

For nursery rhymes:
http://www.nurseryrhymes4u.com/NURSERY_RHYMES/MUSICANDSONG.html

These websites are tried and tested on my elder son. He loved them when he was younger.

Am wondering if we hv a common place to store and share these useful links so tat more mummies can access.. Advice?
 
Hiya,

I been busy yesterday cos just back from Tue leave thus clearing work, plus need to moo in office so no time to login forum. catching up on postings.

cactus,

Yup i tink u have feedback us on yr labour process n then later didn't see yr postings liao.

On the topic of epidural, my labour is 19hrs and i was on epidural for 14hrs (tolerate without epidural for 5hrs). After labour, i also forget abt the pain actually but can remember the after-labour pain as i have assisted labour with forceps and my wound is all the way to anus so it took me 1.5mths to full recovery.
The main thing is i nearly went into coma after delivery cos my BP drop low to 50 and it freak all the nurses and my gynae and they all went to rescue me while leaving my bb alone at the weighing area. I didn't manage to latch my bb on delivery and the night, only manage to latch on the day after, thus my BM kick in quite late around 2 weeks later then came in, after the engorgement problem. In order to resolve my engorgement i pump after latching everytime thus resulting in more supply afterwhich. But supply has dropped after a few sick, once while i was having heavy flu for 1 week and now when i didn't pump at night also. I am still on full BF currently hoping to carry on for as long as possible.

so are u on full breastfeeding or partial?
 
veinz,
ohh.. goon is gd.. personally quite like.. and the size cutting is bigger than the other brands too.. but their M onwards is quite ex.. so changing to Nepia which is comparable to goon as well.. Nepia size M is 31cts per pc.. Goon is 36cts.. so tot change to nepia..
 
Oh ya,

on mon nite my bb dun want to sleep from 1am to 4am. My hb has to carry him throughout and we have poor sleep. result in our anniversary on tue, both of us so sleepy with a sleepy bb too. later we discover is bec' our bb is teething. and he has already teeth on his upper gum. now night we will apply the teething gel so he will feel better.

didn't know tat he is teething and we still somemore scold him. then my bb glare at me lor, dun want to smile to me.. after i scold him
sad.gif
then the waitress smile to him, he smile back. so qi gek.

Btw, i love the united square baby room so much. The breastfeeding cubicle is big and i can push the stroller in, feed bb then put him back to stroller, dress etc. I bot a bf bib recently too, intend to use in car if cannot find nursing room.

his skin eczema i am currently trying mustela brand, see whether got improvement or not.

also tue we went to toy'rus again and let bb try on the fisher price jumpoyee, he is so excited and love it a lot. Then we tot to buy at kiddy palace since have discount card so go to kiddy palace. then let bb try on different similar things, also try walker etc. bb like walker too, and it is not ex, only $60++. But the sales person say better buy when bb is much older and back is more steady cos if not steady then may cause the back not straight so dun let bb sit too early. so in the end didn't buy, but we tink will buy in 2-3 mths time.

i tink if i get walker i must clear my living room space so tat he has more room to play around.. too many furniture.
 
BabyCupid, isit? I only compare the S size price and not M size. Thanks for informing me. When will you be using Nepia? Coz also considering this brand but not yet try. Maybe should buy one pack to try. I heard Mag's feedback is that it is good. and if cheaper, I will get nepia instead of Goon when my gal reaches M size.

Ioio, ya lor. My gal now has a few 2nd hand stuff waiting for her to use. Even one 4th hand push type walker. Have to teach them how to value their things and not abuse them lor. I am trying very hard in this area with my boy, coz he also been spoilt till thinking money is easy to come by (thanks to my in laws).
 
Ellysia, if you do come by Great World City, go to their b1 nursing room. The main changing diaper very nice (english style with wallpaper), two nursing rooms. The nursing rooms are not very big but still can push stroller in while you bf baby. They also provide hot water at main area.
 
Veniz,

wow another place to consider for weekend!

The nursing room at united square also have hot water and 4 large cushions for changing diapers, 4 cubicles for nursing, also large enuff to push stroller in.

maybe i go GWC and try heee.
 
Veniz,
Hehehe I am using all pass down. Only buy a few whenever there is discount ma. Maybe for me I felt bb still young, most important to wear comfy and do not let them have the thinking that Money is easy come. Must be hard earn. There is alot Below average around us too just that we didnt realise hehehe.

You want to try nepia? Not bad, I been using for both my gals
happy.gif
 
Ellysia, you can go on weekend lor, coz now they just have Mark and Spencer opened, and more baby clothing shops. I like to dine at the Ichiban at B1 coz their menu is different from other outlets. Not to mention, kenny rogers, country mania, Cedele and foodcourt has lots of good stalls. Its quite children &amp; babies friendly mall.
 
Veniz,

i usu sit outside at restaurant cos bb will cry v loud if sit inside then need to walk around one. Ichiban will be out for me lor
sad.gif
but country mania n kenny rogers are nice...

u know any other mall got nursing room besides united sq and amk. taka one nice or not?
 
babycupid,
the older our bb gets, the more ex MP becomes cos the bigger e size, the lesser quantity they hv lor..so kinda of not so worth it...Wondering if any ladies here getting nepia, cos wan to buy afew pcs frm u all to let me ger try out lor..Cos MP getting more ex liao, need to source for other diapers lor..

Danryan,
Once a day onli and its alt day cos now beginning scare she cannot adapt..Last wk she had fever aft taking the heniz cereal..so now we dun let her eat at nite liao..

ioi,
wat size u ordered?

Ellyisa,
Ur boy has teeth on his upper gums liao?

veniz,
I also tinking of changign to nepia leh, but duno how big is the cutting cos my ger now wearing L size for MP and pureen wor...
 
Ellysia, GWC has lots of outside main area seats for pple to sit on one, so dun worry hor.

Coz I stay in West, so can only state a few lar, paiseh.

Anchorpoint, lvl 1 adjoin with ladies toilet, 1 big nursing room. Mag saw it and say its nice. But only 1 lor.

OG Albert and Chinatown their children section have nursing rooms also.

Causewaypoint level 3, two nursing room and a few diaper changing counter.

Tangs, two private nursing room, very nicely decorated. At level 4 near the children swimwear, gals pj and undies section. Hot water provided.

Taka, children section, there are two. One near Thyme Maternity wear, the other near disney children section.

Raffles City Shp Centre - Level3 near lift, for nursing, i forget 1 or two rooms. But I like this baby nursing and changing diaper place.

Vivo, most diaper changing rooms have a sit for nursing, but lots of pple queuing to use these rooms for changing. Bon JOvi told me outside burgerking (near the outside play area at level 2) there are some nursing rooms. Yet to check it out coz no chance to go yet.

So far only these I know of and can rem now. In fact if you go google nursing rooms under Singapore, you can find out more.
 
Hi ladies,
Finally can log on to SMH forum, was having internet problem for many days.
just wanted to check does anyone uses M1's broadband and have had problems with browsing, even when the vodafone shows connected?

feifei,
i also bought a Brandnew Braun IRT 4250 from a mother on SMH at $85,her hubby works in Braun Singapore, thats why he imported from US himself, the only thing is it doesnt have local warranty

anyone on total breastfeeding started baby on semi solid?when did you start?what kind of food did you start with?my baby just turned 4 months today
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">feifei.. i bought 3 pack "M" and a pack of "L".. $60 in total with free delivery..

veniz.. yes, esp for the younger generation.. a lot have become branded kids and only know how to spend, must teach from young, this ethical value is important.. else in future will be very pampered and hard to correct</font></font>
 
<font color="ff0000">feifei
i gave my gal, morning n at abt 6pm...3scoops of rice cereal n 2 scoops of FM

Causeway Pt have 3 diaper changing counter</font>
 
Fennie,
hi there..no wonder so long din see u here...

Ya lor, cheap hor =)...Kiddy palace selling the thermometer for $130+..

ioio,
Tks for the infor..How many pieces are there in the L size pack? How much each pack?
 
ioio, my boy is not so branded lar, only that he think if he wants to buy anything (esp toys) we sure have a lot money to get for him. If this person dun buy, he will get another to buy, and usually the pple he target are my inlaws lor. hee, very noti boy.

feifei, so fast your gal use L size liao huh?
 
Hi Fennie, my gal also turning 4 mth today. I had a meal 'opening ceremony' with her just now.

Let her tasted the plain porriage soup cooked in scallops ('Arm' in hokkien) and a chicken drumstick. Symbolise abundance of food for her when she grows up.

As for solids, I intend to start with rice cereal when she is abt 5 mths old.
 
<font color="03b6ea"><font face="Comic Sans MS">feifei.. per pack $15 cant rem how many pcs, go home chk.. when u all mention abt dollar and cents, it's like throwing away $0.30++ into dustbin each time.. ha ha..

danryan, i also tried frisocrem and bought organic rice cereal but yet to give bb.. my advise now is try not to give anything sweet right now else they became sweet tooth then next time they wont take anything plain..</font></font>
