actually I want my parents to take care of my baby - cos my parents both retired and have maid at home. MIL ngeh ngeh want to take care of baby and she's alone at home lor, FIL working. so naturally i think my parents are a better choice cos more resources mah. in any case, when i was preggy she said she din want to take care of baby. only after baby born then she fight to take care
feifei,
my hb also sick..
stomach virus flu.. cannot help to take care of baby..
wow, u intend to start potty trained already?? My gal will cannot sit properly leh... she'll fall to the side..
As for sterilize, think will still continue till 1 ot 1.5 yrs bah.. to eliminate any unwanted virus..

Morning Feifei and Felicia,
Long time no "see" ya!

Ok, try to talk to u all later.

Tera, you finally surfaced! Everyone has been asking where are you.
Janivy, Feifei and Cactus, about wrist pain, its more of the position we twisted it to carry baby made a stress on our nerves (something like that lar, sorry dunno how to explain properly). During my #1 period, I always carried him and wrist was also very painful. There is even a small bone jerk out of my wrist after all the carrying. So, its not really confinement not done well or anything.

below is my question(copy,paste from prev one)
anybody has opinion/view on this??
btw,would like to ask one question, i just bought avent BPA free for my bb, but when i sterilise the bottles,seems a bit strange,because i saw the avent sterilizer tray still use plastic(the blue color one),so when i sterilise the bottle,the tray will release toxic since it's not BPA free,so what the use we bought this free BPA bottle? or need to go back to old way?boil using hot water?that's the safest way?confused.....

feifei, thanks for the advise to start rice cereal first.
Re: Wrist pain
I kena this before. it's due to the way i carry baby and try to pat him to sleep. damn painful. I quickly apply some chinese ointment on my arm and luckily it went away the next day. then i avoid the "straining position" that day to avoid wrist pain again.
Kye, i can emphatize with u. I stay with my in-laws n my MIL + her helper takes care of bb. After lunar 7th month, i started to bring bb to my parent's place every sunday. Then the 3rd sunday, just reached back home only, she suggests me gg to my mum's place every fortnight instead of every week! told her my parents missed Jayden cos 1st grandchild mah. she said they can come over to visit. i was quite mad then but i try to avoid direct confrontation cos staying together...don wan things to turn out ugly. but ended up me and hubby quarrel over this...

And I also didn't let my parents know what my MIL say. don want to sour any relationships... so end up stressing myself.

hi Kye,
I know what you mean about ILs dropping by without announcing... My ILs come to my parents' home without announcing too.
BabyCupid,
My bb slept very early yesterday cos he was super fussy and my parents and maid didn't know what to do with him. but I think they shld have just let him nap one more time before putting him to sleep for the night. But yes, he wakes up 3 times for milk during the night. I don't latch him on. I've been bottle feeding since birth. Only latch on (but not full feeds) 3 times.

Thanks for sharing, Crystal! When you mean dreamfeed, do you wait till your baby is hungry before you dreamfeed? I used to dreamfeed when little cactus is hungry but not awake yet, but lately, I struggle to feed him because the minute I put the teat into his mouth, he becomes wide awake, then reject the teat! 3 days already.

Kye, ranting will help us to destress. After that, put all negative tots to one side.
Just do what we think is right and good for baby.
initially stay with ur baby at ur parent's place as he is in a new environment, need abit of time to warm up and get used to.... =)

<font color="aa00aa">yayaya... agree must bring bb out , else they become 'suai ku' leh. I remember the during the 2nd mths of delivery, when we bring our lil one out, she'll look at her surrounding and then start crying. Then every week we make the effort to bring her out shopping. After few times, she was fine now. Else just bring her downstair she start to cry , then sit in car oso cry. Now she loves travelling in car and bus. Havent got chance to train MRT yet. Must bring her on MRT one of this day. hehe...</font>
