are you still putting sophie on a jian3 fei2 plan? yeah pomfret by 6 weeks was still a skinny little thing. maybe growth spurt.
CS
hahahaha i'm very tempted to tell her that!!!
cloth nappies
pb, even when pomfret was on diapers, she was only napping 30mins max in the afternoons, so the wet nappies didn't make such a difference. and most times she will go back to sleep right after. coz not using bumwear, just the clothies. so i let her wear one cloth nappy, then put another diaper cloth below her. maybe not so wet, but more to wash!

actually any comb also can
but safer to use the bb comb with round edge.
as their 'scalp hole' haven really join. i saw pigeon use comb and brush together. i thin konly 4.90.
phyllis
i finally found bbs same bday as mine.
when is yours born and where?
mine is at kkh at 1816.
dordor
same same.
bb rachel also lick the bedsheet.
intially she will hold her head up one but i think tired liao.
so once she land on the bed her mouth open liao.
CS
oh my.
your bb is so cute.
so young know how to dug nose liao
heehee.
but hor, i agree with the rest of the mummies.
it is better to remove their mittens and let them feel different materials. bb rachel also love to 'explore' her face with her hands.
so to prevent scratching, we mummies must be hardworking loh. i always cut her nail every week.
but hor, it can prevent one other thing bb rachel do.
it is pull her own hair.
there was once, she was crying so loudly.
we don know what happen until i saw her hand grabbing the hairs so tightly. still don wan to let go loh.
i actually laugh at her. so mean hor.

Hey mummies,
I think I shall pop by the gathering for just a little while, maybe about 1h to meet the mummies/babies that are currently there. Cos realised my other gathering is nearby at Tampines. But can't stay for lunch though...

Lbt
My mum too old liao, cant even take care of herself.
Cinbunny
I just pm you.
dor dor
yup I totally agree with u that hb wants mil to be back.
Phyllis
Actually I know mil here to look after bb is the best solution but I really cant stand her leh. She’s so bossy, as if the house and the bb are hers! Everything also must comment and do it her way! And now my r/ship with her not gd, when she’s here, we just dun talk to each other or rather she will ask anything abt bb or whatever to my hb in Cantonese (cos I dun know) then poor hb got to translate. Wah, like leave me out of the conversation!
CS
Woodlands a bit inconvenient for us cos like that we got to travel up to the nanny’s pl then down again. But I will chk with hb tonight, if he’s fine then I’ll get the contact from u. Think agency will be more exp.
Serene
Wah, ur mil not v hygienic ler.. why save on the hanky?! Think that’s why the maid also lazy and anyhow wash the clothes. Aiyo. If I were u I also wont want my bb to live in such a place! My mil is the direct opposite. She’s actually v hygienic and take extra care of the bb, so much so that I think it’s v extreme lor. She will on the tv and mute it, then close the door so that bb can sleep better. Cos she said bb will wake up with a bit of noise. I said nvm lah, must train him to get used to the noise mah. But she just do it her own way, think if she’s here to take care of bb permanently, my boy will be so “well-trained” by her that even a pin drop he will wake up!
(after many hours)
Wow, u have started on sahm? Hmm east too far, I stay in semb leh. Haiyah.. wasted.
Cellow
Wow, u must be super busy… train helper and getting ready for work. Btw did u pay ur aunt for helping u? how much? Cos if mil really comes back, I need to re-think the amt to give her.
Hee.. luckily nothing happens to frank’s scalp after using cookg olive oil. Phew!
Oh I didn’t know got standby bbsitter! Thanks so much for this info. Though exp, I dun mind using my own money to pay, as long as not mil here.
Michelle
Yes, that’s wat I intend to do, come up with a list of pros and cons. Thanks for ur advise. Oh bukit panjang is too far, I stay in sembawang leh.
Crystal
Yes, I can fully emphatise with you. One of my colleagues also has similar case as u, difficult preg so in the end she also got a D grade. So unfair lor. Anyway this mth I m on npl and I m extending it to nov. my P not v happy cos got sch retreat in nov. but I dun care lor, if next year PB I got a D then so be it lor, that’s how “pro-family” our education is lor.
Wai wai
Thanks, don’t think I can go out to buy comb anytime now. Sigh.
missysz
ya lor.. I also don’t know why it never occur to me that cooking olive oil is for cooking nia hehehe..
delphine
my mil is a msian. So if come over here, she will be staying with us 24/7!!!! No other relatives leh. My mum too old cant even look after herself. Sob sob.
Peppermint
Yah hb passed me his olive oil from ginvera. I just used it this morning but without the comb.
Dustee
Ur mil staying with you for long?? That’s what I am afraid lor, once they stay they will NEVER move out! That’s why I am hesitant whether to let her take care of bb frank. And yes, mil will forever put the blame on us. For my case when bb frank was few weeks old, he always v kan jeong when drinking milk, mil said hb not like this when young, so what does that mean?? Frank takes after me lor, kan-jeong spider!
Qing
Thanks for the info on the comb.
Wah biang, think staying at home whole day doesn’t make me free leh. I’ve been replying the posts since morning around 9plus, then break to look after bb, then reply a few posts then break again… now then can finally finish replying to all. And it’s 10pm now, 12 hours!

Smiggle,
My helper came in last evening, quite ok (but only first evening, still need to monitor). New to SG, so easier to train. I sms you the maid agency I went to when I wake up in the morning... the boss quite farnie one, can tell stories, 'educate' you abt family situation and how to choose maids etc. For example I went w my aunt (bcz helper gonna be at aunt's place mah)... then the boss asked eh is this your MIL, mdm? I said no, this is my aunt and bb will be at her place during weekdays. He said AH then u have a choice, if MIL is here w u, it is her choice first, u got no say Mdm. Spot on!
Summert,
ya lor, now super bz. Good thing is that HB says my new colour and haircut looks good! at least he took his eyes off precious bb for a while to look at me. Do i sound jealous yet? heh.
I pay my aunt $200 currently bcz I smtimes go there for dinner during wkdays as well. Need to inc when I park helper + bb there.
Michelle,
Onz! one day playdate for Ethan and Cedric. and sama sama u can leave Ethan w me/helper if u need to go smwhere to jalan jalan okie.
Mummies of the world unite!
re: helper treatment
I allowed my helper one 5-min phone call home on her 1st evening. Rationale being that I want her to have peace of mind working for me, and let her family know she is safe in SG. She quite zi dong, hang up after 3min. ... Oh before that, when I told her that she can make the phone call, she touched until she cry. Real tears, bcz she turn to the wall when I told her, and I was like eh, wat happened, did i say smthing wrong. Then she told me, no Mdm, i m very touched in a choked up voice. The employment agency of cz din allow her any call or contact w home for the week she has been here in SG. Hmmz.
Anyway, but for the grace of God, the one going away to work in foreign country while HB takes care of Cedric could have been me. So one phone call is ok bah. Now I tinkg whether I have been too kind.....
CS,
Bwahahaha... ST JAMES kindy la, not ST JAMES power station the clubbing place.... and no, I havent registered Cedric in kindy anywhere yet. Stick him in PCF kindy, I say (for now la)

Hi everyone
Not been posting for loooong time. This thread really moves so fast and I'm lost liao! But will try to catch up!
Back to work
Was back to work on Mon but boss quite kind, didn't pile me with work. So transition was rather easy. But tired thou and miss both my boys.
do1nk
*sayang* don't worry, it'll get better once you get used to the routine. I remembered I cried when I left my #1 with my PILs on my first day back to work. This time round didn't cry but was teary last week whenever I thought about not being with #2 24/7.
CS
I'm using a Maclaren Techno. This model can be reclined so that bb can lie flat in it. I like it and find it easy to maneuver... even when my #1 sits in it (he's abt 16kg), the wheels still move smoothly. For Peg Perego, if I'm not wrong, they are usually very stable but could be heavy.

Hi ladies, hope this post doesn't offend anyone. I've currently an oversupply of breast milk and I think it's a waste to throw it away. I have about 25 bags of 180ml milk expressed in July 2008 to give away. The milk has been well stored in my deep freezer and can last for another 3 months in a deep freezer or can be used immediately when stored in a normal freezer compartment of a fridge. The reason that I'm giving away my milk is that my deep freezer is running out of space and my baby is not drinking as fast as I can pump and store. I used to pump 2 litres per day (now I'm pumping 1.7 to 1.8 litres per day) but my baby is drinking between 1.1 to 1.3 litres per day. I already have close to 300 bags frozen and stored in my deep freezer and I have no choice but to give away or throw the earliest milk. Milk stored in deep freezer can last 6 months so the milk I'm giving away can last till January if you have a deep freezer or else, it should be used soon. Please sms me at 97475251 if you are interested or if you have any queries.

Happy 15 weeks to sophie bunny and rianne!!!

re jab
yesterday poppy took her second jab. She screamed so loud! She was so angry with me I think. I think she thought I was betraying her, bringing her to the doc and being so nice to her. Sheesh. But gave her milk almost immediately after and she friend back me liao hehe
bluey
wah your girl is a good photographer in the making sia!!!!
Re mothers milk tea
I bought yesterday from vitakids, $9.90 for 16 tea bags. Let’s see if it works! Hannah I also saw a tablet that has fenugreek, blessed thistle, fennel and nettle. The brand is called motherslove, about $40+ I think. If you are interested
re my helper
hub said it’s up to me because ultimately I will spend the most time with her, giving her directions, so I must feel comfortable with her. Although I think that being natural with a baby cannot be learnt, we have decided to be fair and let her try it out for another 2-3 more weeks before deciding. I told him she asked to make 2 calls in 10 days on top of the one we let her make to bao ping an to her family.
He said I’m being a typical Singaporean employer who make the maid carry the bags and stand at hawker centre while the family eats. I so insulted. So that’s why even though I know I want her to go like 90%, because motherly instinct/6th sense/gut feel tells me I cannot trust her, but I also don’t want my hubby to think I’m being unreasonable. I think that she got quite good life, wake up later than me (cos poppy wakes me up about 615am) and sleep earlier than me (about 9pm).
Thanks michelle for the tips, I will do that next time! Wow good idea on the deodorant thing!!
Labbit I cannot do the marketing thing cos I don’t allow her to go market by herself! Oh speaking of which, the things she say make me get the feeling that she very gian to go out. Like ‘marm we go market today?’ (even before checking if we have food in fridge). Or ‘marm, I bring recycling down later?’ when it is usually my hubby’s job to do so
Summer
Sayang … that’s why I chose to stay home la. Cannot trust anyone. Can trust my parents helper but that’s out of the question. Sigh. Re nanny – look around in your neighbourhood?
SY and cellow
Good luck in getting your (SY:2nd) maids!!
CS
I got a combi. Also in a brain dead moment. Bought at taka fair
then mum said ‘got any freebies?’
I was like ‘no…’.
‘got any discount?’
‘err… no…’.
‘THEN BUY FROM FAIR FOR WHAT?’ kua kua kua
Michelle
Wow you managed to hand squeeze 150ml? Pei fu leh!!!! I know, very xin tong, but better to be safe than sorry. You never drink it like me? LOL. But yes, hubbies can be very blunt and stupid when they just say ‘throw la!’ without a second thought. The other day I squeezed my hubby’s nnp to show him how uncomfortable it can be.
Hey maybe you put baby on his tummy slowly? Don’t rush him la. Like some babies walk without crawling. Don’t worry, poppy also haven’t flip like prata yet. But she’s using her head as a pivot point and digging her heels in the bed so she can move like an inverted worm LOL. Not bad leh can move 2 feet in less than 5 min!!
Dustee
Why don’t you tell your MIL “maybe her rash is cos she’s allergic to YOU”?!!! LOL. Hey why not try calendula cream? It’s like miracle cream right? Works for everything?
Re swimming
I think I will bring poppy this weekend harbourfront. Must make appointment one ah?
Missy
I was also thinking about the stickers at the gathering! High five!!!
Bonnygal
Good on you to start exercise prog! But don’t forget to eat ok? You still need your energy to take care of your baby!
Serene
Poppy also went through that sleepalot phase. PD says it’s normal. They are regulating their bodies
kacey sleep, you also sleep la! Hehe
Wow Cheryl
Cayden looks so alert! So nice his eyes!
Re drooling
Poppy is now drooling like a waterfall leh. Every day go through 2 bibs and many little towelettes!
Re latching on
These days I’m at home right? So when poppy fusses at my nnp I will lie down with her and feed and she usually likes it. So I’m thinking… when need to go out how ah? I must lie down on the floor in shopping centre to feed her??
Re mittens
Girls, maybe you remove the mittens 1 day after you cut nails. So that the nails are short but not sharp then decrease risk of them scratching themselves. I don’t put on mittens for her in the day liao, only at night cos cold.

Just share a bit on pram ...
I been using this Peg Perego (i think model P3) since 4 years ago. Very durable but a bit more bulky.
Since my #1 birth till now, she is still sleeping in it when #2 doesn't want to sleep.
A bit expensive but very sturdy. We very "rough" one but still the pram is going strong.
Hope that it will last another 3-4 years

strollers
i use a peg perego too and it's perfect for me. we were deciding between a lightwt model like aprica or peg and we decided we wanted something sturdy. the main reason we bought the peg is because i work so when we use the peg, it would be with the husband around, so the weight is not going to be an issue. but i think for sahms, a light wt model which can be closed with one hand would be more suitable.
there was once the lift door closed whilst we were pushing the pram out and thank goodness because the stroller is so sturdy it didn't collapse into a heap. and now that #1 is 22 months old and 12 kg. she can still sit and sleep comfortably in it!

where is this vitakids? I think i need to up my supply too! haizzz!

cellow,
I personally feel that your treatment to your helper is good.
I wonder if I "pamper" my maid. When she first came, I laid down all the house rules.
But I do pass her a mobile phone and got her the first prepaid card. Condition is the phone is only for her to communicate with hr family and for me to call her in case she is out to fetch my gal.
She never cry like yours, but she did told me that her former employer in Dubai will not let her contact her family even by letters.
She is with me about 5 months already ... she will top up $20/- every month by herself now.
I just hope that I be good to her, she be good to my kids. So far so good except she does "suan" / talk back to me occasionally.
PB,
Wa lau ... tell your hubby that you are protecting his baby.
But having a helper, I felt is like flying a kite. Human relationship ... haiz ... complicated.
But woman's instinct is very important when it comes to judging ppl. Man are like "log" when it comes to this, no feeling one.
