<font color="ED5931">hisstory</font>
Isaac cried a lot last night, but I dunno how long. Cos after 2am, I drift in and out of sleep and sometimes he was crying sometimes not. Until 5:30 I woke up to pump then fed him. Then after feed he slept with us again. That was our previous routine because that way I can wake up later a bit. He would sleep until about 8:30 and then kick to wake me up, but I can actually leave him playing alone next to me until about 9+. So tired from all the interrupted sleep.

My hb woke up after 5:30 to mop the floor. I feel so bad. He told me in the morning that the PT cleaner last night SMS him let-go-aeroplane. Sigh. Such good 1st impression. Wonders if she'll really come on Mon.

<font color="ED5931">Mrs N</font>
Yeah, I wonder when can have a proper night of sleep again too. For me there is some form of progress lah. Although Isaac slept through for some time, he would sleep late at 11pm at night then wake up at 7. Somehow he's sleeping earlier around 9pm now, but he's also waking up earlier to feed, say around 6. Then the wakings started happening and we moved him over to our bed. I think my 5am pump actually wake him up earlier than if he naturally would for his feed. That's why I think I really must harden myself and insist he sleep for the most part of the night in his room, then I only get him after pump or when he wakes - hopefully after I wash everything. That would be ideal
happy.gif
Such a minor change, but so hard to make it.
 
Mrs N
i think the method that ur HV told you is called controlled crying. a couple of my friends did that in aust. but hor...@ that kind of hour...i just couldn't do it. my mind's blank! and i can't be consistent. so i just let him CIO.

brie
aiyo...ML let-go-aeroplane??? she never does it to me leh.
 
Same here, I don't think I can sit there and talk to him calmly. I think we let him CIO last night was also because we cannot tahan ald. We're both tired from taking turns at going to him. Ended up both never respond to his crying. I really hope it doesn't traumatise him.
 
brie
aiyoooo...i hope she turns up on mon! did she have a gd reason? ur poor hb. but he's very nice leh...my one will not do it one. he wld rather live in filth for a few more days.
 
<font color="#CD3278">Brie</font>
Oh gosh.. Hope little Isaac wld sayang mummy today &amp; be a gd boy
happy.gif


I know what u mean by drift in &amp; out of sleep.. Dun feel rested at all. It's ok to give a bottle at 5+ &amp; let him sleep agn, the author of the bk i'm reading recommends tt, so u're not getting this wrong k?

Hope ur PT cleaner wun let go aeroplane again.. gd thing the wkend's here &amp; ur hb can get a lil more rest

Have not logged in for a few days. Baby has been super cranky. Vomitting milk also so I decided to stop her solids for the next 3days. Ytd night she woke up at 4+am and refuse to sleept till abt 645am...woke up at 730am again...teething is a terrible process for us. Any babies here had 4teeth in a row?? I am dying of sleep deprivation soon.

Mommies who latch and whose baby already have teeth, does your baby bite you? Kitlyn loves to bite now. Even when she don't bite, her little tooth will sort of grind against me and its pain lor!

Regarding pump. I don't know its the pump or me. I can't get any milk out of my avent at all! But when baby drink, i can hear her swallowing. And when she vomits out the milk , its ALOT.
 
<font color="ED5931">timmin, hisstory</font>
Her reason was she had to go temple since it's her birthday. I can understand not wanting to work on ones birthday, but why didn't she think of it when we made the appointment in the first place. Anyways, what's another few days since we've already tong-ed for 7mths. Haha

Now Isaac is napping. It's almost 2hrs. I managed to cook porridge and am steaming carrots to make puree. Woah, he really must be v tired from last night. Haha

<font color="ED5931">strawberry</font>
Could it be your pump need to change spare parts? I'm not sure abt Avent, but if something like this happens to my Ameda pump, I try to change the valve and it usually works.

How you'al can manage to close your capella strollers with 1 hand? Mine is supposed to be able to, but I've never successfully operated it with just 1 hand before, especially when carrying bb in the other.
 
Little Twin Star

GG so poor thing...hugs to her. Cheril also got tummy at nite especially when I give her any sort of greens like broccoli or spinach for dinner.. Ever since I change her evening to veggie like carrot or pumpkin... she doesn't have the problem anymore..


Krex

Cheril, my elder twin, was warded on a 3rd occasion, for poor feeding when she was only 1 month plus... Yes, she's been in and out of hospital during her 2 months of her life.. Very poor thing... Was referred by her Paediatric gastroenterologist to speech therapist n dietician to access her growth performances as she below the 10 percentile category.


Msapple

The way you describe how the ikan bilis are being prepared for grinding reminds me of the way I did my Korean side dish (Spicy Ikan Bilis)..
happy.gif


As you have mentioned about the salt content in the ikan bilis, I also agree with it... I have a different way of preparing the ikan bilis stock for my gals porridge..

Bcos ikan bilis got the tiny fragment of bones which sometimes can cos irritation to bbs throat, so I don't fancy grinding it into powder. Instead, I doing the tea bag method. Although it may not extract so much of the calcium content, I believe over time there will be sufficient amount that they will absorb...

1. Wash the ikan bilis twice to remove dirt n excess salt.
2. Place in disposable teabag and boil it in a pot..
3. Discard teabag n put washed rice n meat into porridge and boil before putting into slower cooker.


This way, not so much salt lor.. These bags can be bought at supermarket like NTUC or Cold Storage

Here's a pic of it

Catherine personally i recommend the Quest (its very light) but since u drive all the time maybe the bigger mclaren that can fully recline is better(only 1 kg heavier than quest).....coz mark's head keeps dropping to the side when sleeping coz Quest only partial recline.
 
Re: Baby Bites
I used to buy these biscuits for my #1 and he loves it. Now he is 2 i still give him cos his fav. i think its good cos its not saltish at all and therefore quite healthy.
