shint,
your 2 boys are so handsome! your #1 dimples are pretty obvious.

 

[shint]

celyn,
I am attempting to start a spree ... let u know if i wanna start. hee.

 

[shint]

wonder if anyone else interested to order Carter clothings from Babycentre?

only do clothing items ok?

 

[shint]

thanks missyz, #1 dimples are more obvious ... for #2, cos he's fatter/chubbier so cannot really see yet. #2 do look like #1 when he was young - so shld be quite handsum too
*trying to promote my little KAI ... before the xmas gathering ... hahaha - sourcing for potential DIL. kekekkee.

 

[whatodo]

hisstory, thanks ...

aurora, my ger dunno how to latch on properly. so doubt she can help me.

ruixian, thanks for the advice. think i too exhausted to wake up for wee hours pumping. already sleeping less than 6hrs everyday. so tiring.

 

[celynlee]

moring mummies.

shint,
ok. let me know.

i see that you dress kai in long sleeves, he don't sweat is it? mine in sleeveless can still sweat a lot leh. if i leave him on my sofa to play, in 5 mins or so, you will see water patches where his feet and head are and his feet and hands will be wet. really see water kind.

 

[whatodo]

shint,

ur boy needs promo meh? he already got stylo milo hairstyle at such a young age. gers will flock to him when he's older. hehe.

 

[krex78]

val, it's huggies swim diaper S size. my bb is 6.1kg so ok for him to wear.

hisstory, i think my SIL's P does not allow lor.

sam, blocked ducts very common one. i get them once or twice a month. usually it goes away within the day and no fever. BF is the best way to remove it but yesterday, my blocked duct went away during my 2nd pump at work. maybe i pumped a bit longer so it decided to unclog

 

[krex78]

shint, so nice u get to style your boy's hair. mine still very botak, haha. waiting patiently for his hair to grow...

[krmeow]

Hi to all

Have been reading this thread but didn't have the time to post...usual reason- busy with baby and work. hehe!

My baby girl arrived 3 weeks early on 29th July instead of 20th August. Have been a huge learning curve the last few months.

Rui Xian, thanks for updating table. Could you please fill in table for me?

Mummy's name: krmeow
Gender: Minnie
DOB: 29th July
Name: Mabel

Btw, are you girls going to introduce your babies to solids this month? Was reading this book and it says we can start giving rice cereal for them to taste- just to let babies get used to solids... What are you all planning? Here's a photo of my girl at 4 months last week.

 

[krex78]

krmeow, me only giving at 6 mts, as recommended by pd.

 

[yuuri]

me also only giving solids at 6 mths...don't care what the old people say

 

[whatodo]

[timminbuzz]

[whatodo]

[hisstory]

aurora
Yah lor, Lokyang is near Boon Lay & Tuas.. My hb says near his workplace, so he's IC of checking out gd deals.. Hopefully can get get gd buys

val

samantha
Oooh, then u can bring ur ger down for ur session, the LC can help u try to latch ur ger on

krex
Oh, gosh.. Can't be help, I guess, some Ps not very flexible

 

[timminbuzz]

samantha...
it's ok one. they charge for their services to help clear any ducts whether u're from tmc or not.

 

[hisstory]

samantha
yupz, quite hard to reach Sister Kang. Read fr somewhere, a mummy who also delivered in Mt A in the end when TMC & got Mrs WongBB to help

M2B
heheh, u going to check out La Senza? I prob will go tmr.. heheh, going to be in Suntec area

 

[ruixuan]

Samantha

[whatodo]

hi ladies,

i think sister kang v popular. hehe. anyway, leave my no liao. hope to get her soon. if cant reach her by end of tdy, then i go tmc. thanks for all ur advice.

hope to clear it soon cos my supply dropped. see liao so demoralised.

 

[whatodo]

Freshly up, for mommies with minnies ...

http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/1940559.html?1228185799

 

[krex78]

sam, i always call joyful parenting coz' the call gets diverted to a hp. no need to pay to get LC to clear your ducts. just BF and pump more often and longer. take a hot shower. use warm compress. shld go away in one day.

 

[krex78]

yuuri, when is considered 6 mths? start of 6 mths, which is in end jan or early feb? your bb born ard same time as mine rite?

 

[shint]

me now pumping ... going to Fox sale soon .. gonna be a little late! hehe. Those who going can just go in and cheong first. WE'll regather about 2pm to go for tea.

I dun have YLN's hp, who can sms me? *those who have my hp.

 

[krex78]

any mommies here using the pumpin pal hands free strap? effective or not? will the milk leak out? i'm tired of having to hold my 2 pumps since i pump so often. and in the mornings, i tend to accidentally release the pump sometimes when i'm too tired. think it's time to get the hands free thingy, heehee. where to buy?

 

[ruixuan]

krex

4 mths maternity leave
====================
sorry ah, this is an old topic, but for you mummies who deliver & EDD is also before 17 Aug 08, did you write in to appeal? My colleagues has been asking me to do so but I'm hesitating as not sure whether appeal will be successful as both my delivery date and EDD are about 10 days earlier than 17 Aug.

 

[hisstory]

M2B
hahah, u're on leave again huh? Gdgd, can go chiong sales..
No leh, he's not going Fox, but to the Mattel one.. I am thinking of going later for the Fox sale though. Coz I'm now at my mum's and Fox sale is 5min drive away

 

[valnsw]

Gemini,

I think if your EDD is not 17 Aug or later, it will be tough to appeal successfully. Mb u wana ask your gynae if can certify your EDD to be on 17 Aug? *hehe*, dun say I teach u ah...

M2B,
gd that u can go to e sales, I think not likely for me... gona miss out the sales liao

this whole wkend burn cos of work plus nxt wk gota bring Chevelle for jab.

hisstory,
Go for the sale! Since at your mum's place, shd be ok right? At most if need be, u can still rush back to latch Ashley on.

 

[valnsw]

BTW, any mummy noticed your baby suddenly v cranky, wana play w things, won't sit still, mus grab smthg or play w something?
Or else start putting things into their mouth?

Mine is like hyper active, must hv smthg to amuse her or she also wun sit still.

Somemore, she keeps biting her lower lip.

Are these symptoms of teething??

 

[missysz]

hi mommies,

i am selling the 'The First Years Breastmilk Thaw & Warm Cup' for $15. i got it from the spree organised by snow74. It's brand NEW. Please PM me if you are interested.

hisstory,
you should go for the sale since it is just a stone throw away from your mom's place. do update your shopping loots ya.

 

[huichin]

Hey Mummies

so many posts to catch up! Hahaha...anyone went to the Fox sale liao? Was it gd and worth to go?

From Shint's post, iZzit u all going now? Lemme know k! Hehehe...

 

[gemini]

hi valnsw,

haha... i also got thought before, asking my gynae to "certify" my EDD to be 17 Aug, but dont think he will do it one lah..

keep biting her lower lip and putting things in the mouth, plus drooling are typical symptoms of teething. as for wanna to play/grab things, i believe now they are at the stage where they are recognising things and is more conscious of what's going around them.

 

[reirei]

Hi Gemini,
My edd & delivery dates are both before 17 aug.
i sent in my appeal wif gynae's letter and tonnes of justifications y i need the extra bonus..haha..but they still rejected me.

re: Fox sale & taka sale

[hisstory]

val & missysz
Decided to postpone the chionging to Thur.. heheh, my mum's keen to go too, but if after 5pm cannot, my mum needs to prep dinner..

See the review of Shint & the rest of the mummies makes it worth going..

 

[mrs_n]

aurora Dominic's fine. Started taking him to a babies group once a week. He seems to enjoy it. Such that when we go home he has his milk and then sleeps for an hour. If only everyday like this ... best then I can get on with my work in peace.

Saw your pics on fb your little Reagan seems to enjoy swimming. Too bad over here is too cold. Weather forecast expecting snow.

Krmeow my health visitor said that we should try as much as possible not to introduce solids before 20 weeks. He gave me a booklet to read about weaning when we were discussing this topic at baby clinic a few weeks ago. And the booklet said that around 6 months is the best age. Before 6 months baby's digestive system is still developing and weaning too soon may increase the risk of infections and allergies. Also if you do wean before 6 months there are certain foods that should be avoided or else it might make the baby ill or cause an allergic reaction.

 

[balugu]

ms apple,
maybe you want to tempt her a bit by using her toy to let her flip play cheat a bit??? kekeke

 

[krex78]

shint, how much u sell yr hands free strap? gd or not?

gemini, my edd on 18 aug; gave birth on 27 jul. appeal successful. ask yr gynae to help u lah.

rei, i'm using goon. still using nb size. s very big. can get sample b4 u buy.

 

[valnsw]

gemini / shirley / msapple,

thks for sharing. At least I knw my gal is not the only one!
Real headache. Now she's playing w her toes after bathing. Hope she keeps at it this way.

hisstory,
ya, wait for the other mummies to update us. I think other mths' mummies are also cheonging the sale.

Re: weaning
I knw all the PDs will recommend weaning at 6mths but I was thinking mb intro some brown rice cereal at 4mths wor...

 

[krex78]

mrs n, 6 mths = 20 or 24 wks? i plan to start solids at 6 mths also but can't figure out when 6 mths really starts. did yr health visitor advise how to plan the feeding schedule? i hope to start with iron fortified cereal 1st. which brand is gd? do i prepare it as a drink or feed 1 or 2 teaspoons of the cereal?
