<font color="aa00aa">Hi mommies - I am from the Sept 08 thread. Want to check if anyone is keen on a Fisher Price 3-in-1 rocker swing cos I got it for my son and he doesn't quite use it (cannot sit still, too hyperactive!) and it is taking up space in his room. Its hardly used and almost brand new. Original price is >$200, but am okie to let go for $90.

Details at:

Hi mummies,

SO many posts over the wkend... paisey if I missed out any post.

Such a tiring day/night. Last night bb slept at 11.30pm, then woke us up at 3.30am when she only drank 30ml and then I had to coax her to sleep.

She's super cranky even in the daytime, dono if she is teething cos at 3.30am, applied dentinox, had to coax her w some struggling before she slept... THen whole day also like super cranky, dowana sleep til just now. haiz...

mulberry,
borrowed the book u recommended, had a glimpse through to get the important pts but seems that nothing much said abt cutting's bb's habit of being rocked to sleep.

brie,
What a coincidence! So what did u get at the Robinsons sale? My hb win liao, buy berms end up go back too small for him, had to make trip back to get refund. But end up need my Robinsons card. So now I hv to go down and do the refund for him!!!
BTW, my hb said Issac is v cute. Then he was complaining how big our girl is... He thinks I've overfed her :p

hashishan,
U must be v happy! haha Misaki must hv a cute bum bum.

RE: Sean Lau PS
The BP is on, with the $188 rate. The BP organiser, Valerie Hong should have emailed those who paid the deposit. Anyway I've made appointment to do it this Wed, keep my fingers crossed that bb will be gd.
Tmrw gota headache what clothes to bring for her to wear.
 
krex,
i only pump once during work &amp; twice at home (morning &amp; nite) and supplement her with FM at night lor... no choice lei... plus my gal's weight like stagnant for weeks aledi so i thot FM might fatten her up a bit... oophs!!

hashisan,
oh dear... you still going ahead to let michan become the model?

mousse,
you boy look very happy to see daddy hor?
 
Reduced milk intake
Anybody noticed their baby drinking alot lesser milk?

My girl has been drinking lesser, but don't know if it's due to:
1) Taking more solids
2) Teething

Anybody w babies who alrdy has 2 teeth? Mine has 2 bottom teeth but think coming bit by bit leh...

So now I'm confused, if she has teething pain, isit cos the teeth are being slowly pushed out or due to the next one coming out?
 
valnsw
i'm total latch on, so dunno if milk intake lesser. but his solids intake lesser. also dunno y. he has recovered frm flu but still intake down.
sad.gif
 
giraffe,
Just read about your girl. Think u must be damn tired. Do take care.
Any other person/help u can tap on?
I think I read liao, I also can feel v siong for u.

celyn,
Poor Yu Ze, hope he doesn't have to go thru those procedures anymore.

shint,
Alamakz... so your maid tua u. Haiz.

part time job suggestion:

freelance accountant/auditor/designer

piano teacher/ tuition teacher

sales ( some MNC allow this)

Online biz

Telemarketing

Home based job ( now usually fm govt). A frd who work in recruitment firm said usually they hv such jobs.
 
mousse,

your bb so CUTE!

dongle,

jonah also gaining abt 0.1kg each wk...quite slow. giving him more solids next week once he's 8 mths.

hisstory,

ya i was more productive when preggie. didn't have to spend time pumping and cld stay late at work if need be. now find it so hard to manage time.

wendy,

u got lobang for PT work? share leh! FT work also can but must be the the 9-5 kind.
 
val,

reduce milk intake can be due to solid food n also the disgestive system changing to 3 meal system , so they grow slower n intake lesser.

The pain ub teething and coming out will also reduce.

Meredith 2 lower front teeth.
 
Dongle,
Yeah, v happy 2 c his daddy.
happy.gif
And only his daddy can make him smile and snap the pic at the same time. no fanciful photography sessions or famed photographer for him, just his old man. haha!
 
twin star,

Dunno the power puff can wear or nt. Hahaha!!

giraffe,

ur survey on ftwm / sahm

for sahm mummies-
a) how's it staying at home with your kid(s)? is it very tiring compared to only working then?
tiring as it's non stop n no break physically n mentally. Though it can be fun as u see them grow each day or when they do funny thing, etc. At least at work, still can rest for a while n go toilet,etc

b) would you consider going back to the work force?

doing so. can work while taking care of kids. Plus my work is flexible, so when I need to conc, will need help in infant care. other than that, on the move is less mobile nw. so hv to scale down on the area
 
ling

as reading some info. strawberry n grape is worried bb will choke as the size is dangerous.

Other than that, if u mash it, it shld be ok. but grape might coz cough.
 
Hi everyone
bought SL for Walk In Easter Photo shot in studio loft. SL cries all the way.. dunno why.. maybe the place is too hot or too crowd OR the ladies are abit too rush.. I had put SL to sleep for quite long before putting him for the shot... dunn why, he just cries..

but make me easily choose his pic cos i only choose those he is not crying

Mousse
ur baby K very cute and handsome

Taka baby fair
went there and bought some biscuit and some nuby stuff...

Scratching Ear
SL had been scratching his ears and sometime found him digging into his ear... bought him to PD, NO infection.. nothing wrong.. just scrtch marks

2277498.jpg
 
ruixian,

aiyo... is SL ok nw? Maybe teething or sleepy? Or maybe the place is not suitable for him?

think bb like to scratch ears. Mine too. scratcth till red n like urs. I use cotton bud n put some baby lotin n use it to moisture.

Did u see the pigeon brand soup?
they wrote from 3 months onwards...I was thinking to add in the cereal later. dunno correct or nt.
 
<font color="0000ff">krex</font>,
ooh tks! then i better dont give banana yet.. don wan to take more risks.

are you planning to work PT? i'm seriously thinking about it as i dont really enjoy my work and it's really tiring to juggle 2 kids and work. somehow, someone or something gotta be sacrificed. to make sure both my gals get to bed early, i don get to check ashley's homework or play with anna at all.
it was easier with 1 kid. i was sahm for 1.5 years before i went back to work. with 2 kids, how to when both demand equal attention. besides, i really don wan to pass this responsibility to others. i also don mind downgrading myself.

<font color="0000ff">celyn</font>,
wow.. your bbsitter is fantastic. it's not easy to find such a good one.

i also think like you.. rather both gals have enough sleep first then play on wkends but it's so little time.

with this economic situation now, how to get a 9-5 job?

<font color="0000ff">mrs n</font>,
10Q so much! ya, i hope both of us recover fully soon..
happy.gif


<font color="0000ff">wendy</font>,
doing some PT work while bb gets some social development is really a good idea. keeps us sane and provides some keep too.
doing admin work for your fren is a good idea.

<font color="0000ff">snow</font>,
i still drop quite abit of hair but i noticed baby hair (about 3cm long) growing at my temple. i look quite funny at times. haha..

sigh.. i do have some financial concerns but to sacrifice bbs for $$ like no good lei.. i don want to look back and ask myself why i did not give more time to my gals. $$ can be earned.

<font color="0000ff">hisstory</font>,
time flies hor.. now you are gg back to work. who'll look after your ashley?

<font color="0000ff">hashisan</font>,
haha.. your misaki will be a star too.
happy.gif


<font color="0000ff">mrs teng</font>,
hmm, think i'll try barley this week. you only boil the barley, no sugar added right?

<font color="0000ff">sylvia</font>,
me me! having mon blues.. at work..
sad.gif


your suggestion - home based job from govt? what kind?

i also want to try apple mash..

<font color="0000ff">val</font>,
ya, quite tired. eye bags getting bigger.. but what to do? we the mummies the best.
happy.gif
my mom can help but she works too so i don want to tax her too much. i just hope everything goes back to normal soon. tks alot!
 
Ceyln

Just got to hang in there... know how it feels when baby is low weight n still loosing.. that's what Cheril is going thru now.. she lost about 200g over the last 2 weeks... haizzz.
 
<font color="#CD3278">Ashley is weaned!!!</font>

hiphiphurray! We successfully got the lil one to take to the bottle on our 1st try.. Thank God for that!

I was hiding in the kitchen &amp; hb had to try all sorts of stunts to get her to accept the bottle.. *phew* After some amt of protesting, she guzzled down the milk.. woohoo
 
hisstory
CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ur success story is giving me courage to try again! hahaha...

giraffe
i working 1hr a week now. might increase my hours as E grows a lil older. i'm SO lazy but the extra $ will go a long way for us. boohooo...
sad.gif


happie, celyn
i tink E's havin itchy gums. i read somewhere that giving them chilled food might help increase appetite cos it relieves their gum itchiness. so i just tried today. cos he had some leftover jar food from yest in the fridge. he took it ALL. don't even need to coax to eat. just kept opening his mouth to eat!!! i was totally surprised! and very happy!
happy.gif
 
giraffe,

sayang!! gng home soon for work?

the home based job.. i think is data entry pah. not sure, so they outsource home based work to agency. So hv to ask them what is available.

the apple mash... I use a blender to blender till puree ( but will turn brown) or sometimes just small pieces ( hv to be fast so that wont oxidise), so drinking the juice, while I mash some.
 
ruixian,

I also saw the porridge.

happy.gif


but think I bought too much cereal. so better finish them 1st. hahahaa! but very tempted to buy the ready made porridge.
 
Valnsw
remeber to post ur bb's studio pic.. i keen to see

my SL also got 2 lower teeth. looklike the top is coming out soon...

today i bring SL to my gynae's clinic. my SL very funny, first he grin then he lift his hand and say HI. everyone waiting for their queue laugh..
 
Reirei
thank for the taka info

just now i at the pigeon's side, the sale rep remember SL cos he was the model for their baby massage in Marriot Hotel talk.. this sale rep gave us some free baby biscuit.

i give SL the whole biscuit after reaching home and he bite off a big pieces.. i did not take out from his mouth and i observe. he is keeping it in his mouth and chewing it (i thingk the biscuit dissolve by itself) and SL after than just swallow
 


Snow: thank u..not a star lah ..
happy.gif
just for fun
stardiva: i wanna see gg video, must be really cute !..
Mousse: actually ah ,this cheapo mum ask the lady if I can use the voucher and join the $188 bulk photo ( minus $100 voucher so I get to pay $98 only). then quickly she said: no no can not, the Bp close already.. hehehhehe
so I only can use it for a normal price which is $238 ? (not sure how much).

Timmin: thank u
happy.gif
. btw I also used to be a big fan of Andy lau leh, especially during the : sin tiaw hiap lu movie time (I dunno how to spell.. very old movie, I think in english the return of condor hero or something like that). he was sooo young n handsome. but now a bit ojiisan (uncle) already uh?

Timmin, valnsw, happie
oh ya, dun worry about Ethan'/ chevelle's / chiemi's appetite. It will come back.I think its normal that sometimes they milk/solid intake drop due to illness, teething, etc.
Misaki milk intake is also drop. altho I latch her on most of the time, I'll give EBM once a day and today she could only take 100ml.

Hisstory: thanks babe. she inherits my big butt hahahaha. (getting bigger after 2 kids.. sigh)

Dongle: what kind of medicine is cayla taking? the dr didnt tell me got such medicine to prevent leh...they only told me ryo will grow out of it , when he's 5 yo. (which is still looong way to go).
so everytime he is sick I am super stress..scared he'll get fits again.
Cayla fits. is it called febrile fits?

Wendy: it's normal bb gets sticky around this age. they are having separation anxiety. more obvious on SAHM because u are the only care giver.
my #1 was like your bb. because that time I didnt have helper at home. so he was super duper sticky to me.
now Misaki is also sticku but not as bad. she doesnt mind being carried by other people, but when she's sleepy/ hungry she'll look for me.

giraffe: glad anna is ok now. must be really tiring for u yeah.
is it painful when a child put on nebulizer? and how come dr prescribe antibiotic for her? usually if cough only less than 1 wk dr won't give?
btw Michan is also toothless..hehe
happy.gif


for sahm mummies-
a) how's it staying at home with your kid(s)? is it very tiring compared to only working then?

yes tiring. physiccaly and mentally. the reward is not $$, but the closeness and bonding u have with them.

b) would you consider going back to the work force?
yes.. part time only. when they are bigger and if got people interested in hiring me hehe. working full time is impossible for me.
