Mommies,
I am better liao, fever gone. I stopped taking the panadol - never liked it in the first place cos i read it stays in your system for donkey years.

For the antibiotics, i ate only one at 1230am ... and supposed to take twice daily .. contemplating if I should stop cos damn sian to continue for 5 days.

Had some rashes here and there, like mosquitoe bite but big ones .... not sure if it's allergy or really got insect bite me. Still monitoring.

Does antibiotic cause allergy?

I should be going back to work tomorrow though MC is until Thu .... cos boss on course.

 

[valnsw]

snow / hisstory/ timminbuzz / celyn / M2B,
I recall that Soup Spoon in City Hall is not that big. If u gona bring strollers, then I suggest u take seats at the tables facing the outside / fountain (I think so, can't remember) area.

Else inside v cramped, sometimes wana walk also quite narrow.

Eh... I may or may not join u all, i will sms snow okie?

 

[timminbuzz]

snow...
i'm fine with soup spoon.
hisstory, m2b, celyn...you gals cool with soup spoon?

mummies...
i'm so happy! my baby started sleeping through the night for 3 nights in a row!

after putting him down around 7pm...he wakes up at about 7am the next day! woohooooooooooo....thank GOD!

 

[mavys_m2bagain]

just had a cup of bubble tea! so refreshing!

Snow,
Yummy yummy, I love The Soup Spoon! =P
Yup, The Soup Spoon outlet at RC not big so we must chop the seats near the outside…if not, can go to the Japanese restaurant which is marche style…

Hisstory,
The funny thing is Mae is not fussing leh except kept biting the teats when feeding..my #1 oso no fussing when teething, dun salivate too leh…hahaha

Valnsw & Celyn,
Hope you gals can join us this Fri! =P

Shint,
Better monitor the rashes coz maybe reaction to the medication...if really unwell, shdnt go work tmr leh.

 

[snow74]

valnsw
no problem.
if can, just come along ya. =)


hisstory, m2b
yup, unless we take the outer seats.
think 2pm not so many ppl liao lah, after official lunch hr liao leh...hee hee...

[mum_on_the_go]

mummies !

Anyone using Bfree plus bottles ? My bottle sometimes leak.. not sure whether it's just my bottle or problem with Bfree bottles.

And btw, there is a mothercare sale at united sq on Thurs... anyone going ?

 

[valnsw]

snow,
u bringing your helper on fri?
Cos if I go to meet u all with bb, most likely hv to bring helper too, unless my mum's at home to jagar her.

 

[balugu]

crossing my fingers though for my gal feeding...a bit confused because based on the teats info it did stated as what celyn did as to change at 2nd month to teat#2 and teat#3 when at 3rd month....then meaning that i will change when i notice my gal getting too long for her feed???

 

[celynlee]

snow74,

happy_mummy,
mothercare got sale? hmmm.... if got time, i will go and see

 

[hisstory]

snow,celyn,M2B,timminbuzz,val
Soup spoon's okie with me too.. Like M2B mentioned, if it's a little too crowded, we've got options nearby too!!

It's going to be an adventure for me and Ashley on Fri! I've walked about 500m with her in the sling, but my mum's ard when I do tt.. This Fri, it wld be just me in action. Hope I dun freak out & turn back!!

[blue_aurora]

Shint,
Poor thing, after busy with tending ZQ, now urself and u hv to start work tml. Take good care yah.

Re: changing teats
I'm using M size teats.... and the most jialat thing is my bb likes the old one that is vvvv soft liao, the new ones he reject and cry till v cham. How huh? The old latex teat getting sticky le.

Re: Calcium intake
BF mummies need a lot of calcium is it? What do u take/ drink? Can we drink the new Anlene Concentrate???

Re: BM supply running low
Some mummies returning to work facing this prob right? I hv not started work oredi noticed a drop. V scared by the time i return to work not enuff bm for bb... Will increasing frequency in pumping at this stage help to up the supply? or too late liao?

timminbuzz,
Congrats! I wonder when my bb will sleep for 12 hrs straight. Hahaaa.. now 4-5 hrs straight i v happy oredi.

Ruixuan,
started work liao ur posting decrease a lot leh! V tiring hor? Take care too!

 

[msapple]

Samantha Lau,
Share with you this what we can do with expiry milk
http://mypreciousangel.blogspot.com/2008/10/chest-of-treasures.html

Snow74,
Good idea having a christmas gathering, so will there be a gift exchange for the little one?? hee!

Nini,
I bring my girl for bottle training when she is 2 months plus, the LC said she is a fussy baby. Once the teat not yet put in the mouth she already cry real laugh. She said i should bring her to her for earlier, now too late to train liao... can only slowly get her to drink from bottle but not to force her and make her develop fierce with it if not forever she will not drink from bottle. Got to be really patient with her lor.

 

[2faerie]

shint,
really take care of urself! like all the mommies said, pump n pump n persevere!
sent u my gal's pic not too long ago. paiseh for delay....
thanks for the link too!

but i can't find any bpa-free avent bottle there.. *sigh*

re: calcium intake
hey, i started drinking anlene as well. cos back ache here n there.. so tot maybe 'bu' a little. morning drink chix essence (trying to finish my stock), eat fish oil capsules (DHA) n drink anlene milk...

re: desitin cream
any mommy has extra tube to let go?

 

[msapple]

timminbuzz,
My girl sleep 8 to 9 hrs througout i already very happy, urs 12hrs lagi best. hehe

aurora,
Re: Calcium,
For me i take the calcium tablet from my gynea + breastfeeding milk

Re: BM supply running low,
With frequent pumping + ensure empty the breast well everytime, you will be able to yield good supply after 1 or 2 weeks.

 

[diorsnow]

Not sure if anybody's interested, i got 2 tins of Japan milk powder (0-9mths) to let go... My sis who works in japan bought it for me. Currently my boy is on direct latching, n i have a whole tin of Dumex Gold not yet finished...

 

[2faerie]

snow,
i might be able to join u gals on Fri.

i sms u again on tat day itself can? cos i need to run errands in suntec area at almost the same timing.

btw, our loot arrive oredi?

 

[ruixuan]

aurora
yup, decrease alot of posting. if u see alot of posting on that day that means it is my off day. haha... very tiring.. i just reach home at 10.30pm and now pumping the last round and going to sleep soon

Msapple.
nice blog. very detailed.

 

[blue_aurora]

faeriekim,
wow, u still on fish oil? Is it the natalcare brand? Hahaa.. my chix essence finished le, and im buying more. I never took chix essence until now. Really tired with the nite feedings.

msapple,
Thanks for the advice. Will perserve and pump more frequent. Heheee.. im always bringing baby out, and when we r outside, bb dun drink much, prob tt's why supply dropped. Must guai guai stay at home pump liao. BTW, which brand of breastfeeding milk r u taking?

Nini,
just to check, how long hv u opened ur tin of dumex gold? I think after 1 month from opening cannot use for bb le.


Re: bottle feeding
For my case, my bb will reject bottle unless it's the soft soft latex teat. I think sometimes hv to trial and error with different teats. I bought so many tt my hubby complained tt i waste money.

 

[msapple]

aurora,
Oh i am drinking enfamama. I take DHA supplement too

 

[celynlee]

morning mummies

this morning is so drama leh. yu ze had his poo all over him from tummy down. poo leak out of the diaper on the front cos he sleeps on his tummy. he didn't even cry very loud to tell us that he is wet until i carry him and want to bring him to babysitter's place. then i realise he is super smelly, put him down, on the light then see the shocking scene. all bed also have his poo, end up quickly remove his top and bathe him. he had bathe at 6.30am, hopefully he won't catch a cold. hubby bathe him while i remove his bedsheet and mattress protector and get myself change again as his poo is on my clothes too when i carry him. now i don't have to wake up for his night feed, does it means that i have to wake up to check if he poo?

faeriekim,
i got 3 tubes of desitin creamy on hand now, can spare you 1 if you want.

calcium intake:
i stop taking calcium pill but still drink a lot of milk everyday. i drink almost 1 litre of fresh milk everyday.

Good Morning Mommies!

Snow,
What exhibitions at RC you talking abt? Me thinking to go look see at Odaibi (spelling) for the gals’ clothings…heehee

I’m fine with any cafes so long as can accommodate us and our strollers…heehee

Tim,
Congrats on your bb sleeping thru…I always wonder how come their little tummies can tahan no makan (i.e. milk) for 12hrs hah..my gal oso can sleep 9pm+ to 9am+ if I dun wake her up for milk at 6am+ on weekdays…but weekends, I let her sleep until she happy coz I wana sleep too…heehee

Hisstory,
Why dun you bring sling and stroller? Coz push push liao, Ash can sleep and you not so tired.

I really hope Mae will be like #1 lor, fuss free when teething and even when unwell…my #1 when sick not cranky 1 leh and also dun wake up in the middle of the night type…she is actually a very easy child to take care lor…

Amabel,
Your idea of gift exchange for the little ones is great! But maybe those with #1 must prepare for #1 too? If not, wait jealous man…hehe

Celyn,
Mae oso pooed and can still sleep type leh! These few days, when she woke up at 9am to 10am then my mom realized that she pooed…we said she is really a dirty gal man…pooed liao still can sleep so soundly leh…

But I think Mae pooed in the morning rather than in the middle of the night coz on weekdays, when I feed her at 6.30am, no poo smell...heehee

 

[celynlee]

m2b,
hahah... yu ze is also a dirty boy. i always say he is a little pig. sleep is important to him. he rather sleep than drink milk.

mommies,
I am back at work today!
Pumped at 630am. Today milk is better .... last few days after fever, it went down >50%. For once, my left breast has more milk than right. Now waiting for right side to recover - seems it's recovering. Managed to get 120ml from right this morning. Left side in fact yielded more than normal ... the milk switched over to left breast? so clever rite, hehe.

Added the new ones already but will post up tonite. Still have a few slots if any other mommies interested.

Those who oredi sent me the pic, if you are not happy with that pic, i am ok if you want to send me a new version. Please send soon or post on forum ok?

Extension until this WEEKEND then I'll send out the final collage to everybody via email so u can print, put as wallpaper, etc.

Hee .... me thinking of doing one for the newborn picture so we can compare .. i can put them in the same sequence .... u all want that?Then every 3 months we can do one collage.
