YLN,
*hugs* i know how it is with MIL because even though I am not very close to mine, everytime my hubby's phone ring, my heart like skip a beat. Just dun want them near my son...
The way I look at it, your MIL loves your girl so much that she doesn't understand the limit. Same with my parents lah. When Adel was in infant care, they would want to come see him at night, even when we want to bring him out for dinner. They will say, no, keep him at home, we look after for you. But I want to spend time with Adel also mah... but in the end, I still relented, let them come and i went out with hubby. I just take it as have alone time for the two of us lor.
Maybe you dun talk to her direct lah, just make it very OBVIOUS ! Just insist on carrying your baby, even take over directly from her, she will get the hint if you do it often enough. The most she will sulk, but better than now, when you are so angry.
Hashisan / ling / mousse
Congrats to your bby coming out of the toothless club ! Did your babies give problems ? Adel front teeth coming out. At night wake up crying almost every hour. I just cannot get a good night's sleep leh...
Cat,
Was reading that your HB not happy your maid teach Bernice tagalog ? Why ? Actually babies at this age learn fast, so no big deal rite? However, I do think that certain things she do is to spite you, like carry Bernice in front of you and maybe teaching her the language to show how close she is with Bernice. I say the intention of teaching the lang is wrong, but if bernice can pick up, will win all other babies leh !
Briebaby,
Issac looks like he is growing well and cute ! You dun get so frustrated about him not eating much, he is definitely growing well ! How heavy is he now?

Does ur MIL's grandchild got lots of hair? If yes, tell her soon it will be gone. If no, tell her that's the result of too much salt..
Sam

Hmm.. Then i think Yumin's not constipated.. So long as she can poo w/o much diff then shdn't be a prob
But must persevere in giving her water..
I try to give Ashley water before milk, coz she doesn't really take water fr bottle, she prefers spoon-fed. Which is very troublesome.. So before milk wld 'bluff' her tt it is milk.. *oops*

hi mommies,
i went to the photoshoot by Kym this morning.
haiz...my Jasmine never smile thruout leh. she's not used to the strange environment. also the air-con was spoiled, so it's hot and thus Jasmine became very cranky after abt half an hour.
But Kym is very nice and patient. she managed to capture a few nice shots.
wah i really peifu those of u all that went for those 1-3hrs photoshot. it's really very tiring trying to make bb smile.
my bb's photoshot was only abt 45mins coz she was too cranky liao, thus have to stop. anyways i was also tired...kekeke..
don't think i will go for a full photoshot session coz lazy mommy here no energy to last for 1-2hours
<font color="0000ff">eve</font>
ahh i understand y u still haven't bring Kieren out by yourself. You are using stroller. if i'm using stroller, i also dun wanna bring jasmine out by myself.
why don't u buy a good baby carrier? i'm using an Ergo carrier. i'm so thankful of it coz only with it i can go to so many places by myself with jasmine
.
<font color="0000ff">Mrs Teng</font>
ur food pics always makes me hungry
while i was reading, i was abt to ask what's purnip. haha..then scroll abit down and saw the pic. You are great leh, always so helpful to post detail explanations and pics
<font color="0000ff">YLN</font>
*hugz* i know working mommies have very little time with their precious. but don't send Kaer to infantcare. no matter what, they won't take care of ur gal as good as ur MIL.
i think dongle's method is good. just carry kaer away while saying "mommy misses kaer very much, i carry kaer ok". i think can 'use' kaer to tell ur MIL. eg: talk to kaer very loudly when ur MIL is in same room. "mommy haven't see kaer for 1 whole day liao, mommy misses kaer so much. mommy keep thinking of kaer today until cannot work properly. mommy is so happy finally can see kaer, etc....."
i think ur MIL will get it bah.
if she still don't get it, then just tell her direct.
i'm not taking sides but there maybe chance ur MIL just love kaer so much that she doesn't know she's 'stealing' time away from u.
like last time when my niece was bb, and my SIL was working. my parents would always wanna carry my niece, play with her, etc. they forgot my SIL misses her gal also. luckily my brother would help my SIL. my brother would just carry my niece away from my parents and pass to my SIL.
my parents don't mean to always 'hog' my niece but they just got carried away when playing with her. So maybe ur MIL also same case...? Then you just need to tell her.

aiyo...so poor thing! i know what it's like. my E also has nappy rash very easily. maybe u can try washing her bum instead of wiping. might be less abrasive. and i always slap on a LOT of desitin after.
hisstory
ashley has associated her bottle to milk huh? i always give E water in his nuby cup. recently, i tried letting him get used to straw cup and hopefully, he'll learn how to suck from straw soon. but of cos he can't get anything out of the straw cup and gets a lil' disappointed. heh... when i take out his nuby cup, he'll get all excited! haha...cos finally he gets a drink. so i guess he also associated water to his nuby cup too.

hi mummies
thanks so much for all ur advice...now that im reading these objective views..i think i am able to be more calm and react better...i think some MILS are jsut too thick in the head lor..cuz they love the grandchild so much..so i think i should learn to forgive lor..sigh..ok..i will try all the methods ur suggest...esp keep carrying kaer and talking to her very loudly..heehee..

Oh Mulberry! U went liao ah! haha...share wif us leh...when will u get the shots? Tmr will be Falisha's turn with Kym...i hope she wont be cranky man, cos she oso scared of hot one like me. Hmm. Then i shld prepare myself to only have the PS to less than an hour oso. Haha...
Vone, *hugz* hope u boy recover soon k! Yea maybe u shld let ur fil know the seriousness of his 'insistence' to give ur boy choco loh.
YLN, i oso agree with dongle/mulberry abt the 'make it obvious'. Last time when i saw my mil gave RITZ then super GIAM biscuits to my girl i oso say, aiyo, so oily n yet dry, later you choke then u know ah! THen when the crumbs drop to her cot bed, i said, aiyo y so many crumbs here? Later ants come and bite u ah! haha...
Like Happy mummy, i sometimes will drop my girl to my mum's place, cos she can only see her once a wk, so i will go out with HB once in a while. Normally i will bring my girl to my mum's place on Sat while my hb is working. Hehe...

YLN,
maybe u can tell it in a way
carry ur bb and then say loudly " I'm ur mummy, only mummy can feed u!"
I know is frustrating. Esp sometimes the person who can tell them is their own son.
Or... u can comment " maybe put u in infantcare, so mummy gets to see u n carry u more often?" in front of MIL?
That's what I do when hb dunna tell his mum.
+++++++++++++++++
Just like Sat nite, he went to correct new keys as their hdb just upgraded. When we reached her workplace, Merediyh already sleeping and I keep telling hb " tell UR MUM dun speak TOO loudly. "
He did, but she shouted at her coll while opening the door.......... " faintz"
then see Meredith ... she commented why sleeping
When we reached her place, she pat Meredith's diaper hard and can hear the sound THAM THAM and said loudly....... " why r u sleeping?"
Lucky thing is............. Meredith din wake up till she is gone. Then she sat up n play. If nt, sure hv to stay at her hse till Meredith cranky n cry and then she will tell me that I ill treat my girl..
+++++++++++++++
As for putting infantcare, as u said it's ok as the staff r trained too. Baby learned differently as MIL usually treat them like toys due to their concern. Dun think they r strict in teaching n spoil them......

That reminds me..my MIL said similar things about my BM before. When my boy had to take some FM to supplement and hb asked her how my boy was taking to it, she said "OH He LOVES it...he's so happy drinking it unlike BM, he drink already always look so unhappy!" Felt like killing her there and then.
hisstory
Haha I am very the buey pai sey one...and yes, he still goes to infantcare.

Krex I don't supplement with FM but I sometimes use FM instead of water for cooking when making D's meals. In fact now I seem to have an oversupply of EBM that I'm considering freezing them as I'm running out of containers. D's milk intake has dropped drastically since he started 3 solid meals. He's on 3 milk feeds now. I've started added EBM to his solid meals as well just to try and use it up so that it will not go to waste. I still take roughly about 1 hour in the morning and night to pump but afternoon about 45 mins 'cos have to play with D at the same time!
Don't feel too bad about Jonah rejecting your breasts. You can't force him if he doesn't want to. Our babies are growing up now and seem to have a mind of their own. It is sad to think that they are growing up so fast but that's the way life is.
Nowadays I'll just sit D on a chair, give him his bottle and let him drink it up himself. I've stopped latching him a while ago and now my bottlefeeding days are almost over as well.

shirley,
your boss and my boss make a perfect pair. they shld just disappear from the surface of this earth!
yuuri,
so gd! what can i do to make my boy crazy abt me???
giraffe,
when i do pt, my job will be different liao. they are transferring me to another section. so really dunno if workload will be fair. different bosses also.
mrs n,
how much does dom drink each day? dunno if i'm giving jonah too much. he's been fussy with his milk lately but still manages to drink up most of the time. just taking very long.
i try to give him 600ml a day but i produce abt 500ml on average. PD's standard is 400ml but all the literature i read recommend abt 500-600ml. so dunno whether to reduce or not. he's taking solids very well, but i thought milk is still impt so decided not to cut down on his milk intake so much.

Yuuri,
Kes is a good boy... love mummy so much
mummy_giraffe,

YLN,
glad you cool down aledi... what mulberry say is very good... cos there was once when i randomly "talk" to cayla in front of my mum that "mummy got not much time to see cayla & only get to see her for a while before she sleep, so sianz... mummy quit work & stay at home so can see cayla the whole day ok?"... suddenly my mum just sprung up & say she want to go upstairs to watch TV liao... hahaha... i think the elderly is quite scared we got no income one... hahaha... in your MIL case, she should get worried if her son will be very "xinku" to become the sole bread winner... keke...

aiyoh... my hubby keeps chasing me away frm the PC! I can only post part by part only! argh!
YLN
My mom is also like ur MIL! I also get irritated wz her sometimes n will also tell her off (oops). But come to think of it, actually its bcos she loves her grandson lah. When she insist in feeding Kieren even though she dunno his pattern, I'll just insist on feeding him myself n tell her straight. I think maybe u can just tell ur MIL straight in the face that u'll like some bonding time wz ur son whenever u are not working n u dun need her help? hope everything will work out fine for u. I think its better for ur MIL to take care of Kaer instead of IFC cos its family afterall. cheer up
vone
oh no... hope ur boy will recover soon! Is ur FIL trying to prove to the maid that he's also the "boss" when ur maid tried to stop him? u shd voice out ur concerns to ur FIL cos I suppose he wont want his grandson to fall sick again.
Mrs Teng
wah, u make me hungry leh. I didnt take my lunch... I love seeing photos of the porridge u cook for ur girls, gives me inspiration on wat to cook for Kieren. btw, what's "yao rou" in english huh? I'm giving Kieren loin meat but he nvr takes the meat cos he'll gag. I put just for the taste nia.
JT
My boy is 7.5mths n also cant sit/crawl yet. Every baby develops at their own pace. I tell myself that constantly whenever I see/hear abt other babies reaching that milestone.
Argh!!! Hubby's chasing me away again. sigh...

oh..YLN, Yuuri, dongle, shirley..I'm oso a strong supporter to the club..haha..reading thru all ur ILs problem is really like reading my PILs problem at 1 go...I cldn't stop agreeing from start till end of the posts here...worst thing is that I often have to stay over at my PILs place when my hubby is overseas (which is very often). Although we supposedly shifted very near to my PIL place but my FIL is not happy that I have to sent yuxin to them early in the morning at 6plus(bcos he have to give up his morning routine to take care of my bb) and i fetch her straight from after work before he comes home (he will hav no time to play with my bb)...then wat abt us MOTHER? Actually who can really spare a thought for us? I feel so sad and down staying at their place bcos I have no time for my bb at all, they will play with her until she's sleepy (near her bedtime) then pass back to me to give her last feed and put her to sleep...I really feel like a maid then a mother..feel like crying and so sad that I dun feel like going back straight after work whenever I stay over at their place bcos I dun get to play with my precious anyway....not to mention that they will still turn up impromptu at our doorstep during weekends to play with bb...
but at the end of it I tell myself to ren until end of this year when Yuxin is near 18mths then enrol her in CC bcos I have no reason to do that now and things will be very ugly if i do that..only ME against the whole family including my hubby...plus I'm hoping that when Yuxin is older her immunity will be better...i guess before doing anything..the interest of our bb still have to come in first..sigh

For me, I'm my boy's playmate...and I never ever raise my voice at him. My hb bathes him and does his morning feed so he's deadly jealous that my boy's v close to me. He will say "You better have a talk with your son. He doesn't seem to like me very much" haha! I'm sure Jonah loves you the mostest also, just different ways of showing?
Hisstory
Full day ifc But since he's already started, even if pil want to take him back I also don't want them already!

Kieren's poo is dark green in colour n looks abit pasty. Dun think ur baby's constipated cos when Kieren is constipated, his poo is very hard. btw, Kieren is also like ur Yumin, he wont poo when he's outside!
mummygiraffe

mulberry

YLN,

sylvia,
*faint*.. how your mil can go around talking loudly when it's obvious meredith is sleeping? sorry.. i just feel that they should assess the situation. but well, for me, i'll show a blackie face. hehe..
yuuri,
ai yo... i'll show the blackest on earth if my mil does that to me about my bm!!! haha...
krex,
think along this line.. as long as jonah is still taking your bm and reaping the benefits from it..
hmm, can find out more about the other section work before you decide?
celyn,

dongle,

JT,
every child develops differently.. every milestone will happen when you least expect it.
Sam,

Sam, got california bb cream? To me, that's a wonder cream if Desitin doesn't serve well enuff..and also if possible dun wear diaper for the time being..wear cloth diapers with nappy liners to air her butt but will be more troublesome lah..
Celyn, don't think u got impression of me during the DP photoshoot but I saw Yuze, wah he very pro in crawling hor...even my mum was commenting that he's fast man...
Yuuri, actually wanted to tell u..keston really look like his daddy leh..photocopy version...but anyway since it's always better to have a mummy boy cos mum is always the BEST..hahahah
Shint, although u keep mentioning Kai is heavy but he really doesn't look so leh..he's just heavy bones lah...he look so tough and fit
Eve, I think BBjorn Air max wt is until 10kg rite? so fast kieren cldn't use liao?...isn't the length etc adjustable?
Snow, I saw ur previous post regarding CC. I think i'm also looking around for the same area. Is the one u mentioned at Safra TB good? I haven't been there to check it out. So far I have only been to Little SkoolHse(SGH branch), Cherie Hearts (HarbourFront)and The Odyssey. Sigh, still sourcing ard the area...

yah. there are too many mummies that day. some i'm more familiar cos always meet at gathering. yu ze climbing? crawling and standing is it? he is most uncooperative one, other all sit down in the pot except him, keep standing up. heheh....
mummygiraffe,
yu ze got hydrocele (his testicle are big, fill with water). some baby boy will have it. in general, it will go away by 2 years old. if not, then need a small op to take out the water.
sam,
sayang yumin. poor girl.
sylvia,
i really don't know what else i can ask him to do liao leh. cos beside housework, he will pour water for me when i'm thirsty. i just need to say and he will wash the cup after that. all i do at home is laze around and pump milk. hahahah..... of course, play with yu ze also.
yuuri,
yah but i cancel it on thurs or fri, can't remember. cos hubby is not free then i have to work long hours on fri and sat, so don't think i got energy to bring him myself.

you mean on the group ps day is it? hubby loh. say yu ze is tired liao, want to bring him home. cos that day i got to work, if not i will not ask him to bring yu ze. he spoilt all the fun. sigh.....
anyway, my yu ze is the smallest in size there yet a big bully. he actually make shirley's girl cry by snatching her pacifier from her and wanting to put her pacifier in his mouth. lucky i stop him in time but not in time for the snatch. also when taking flower pot shots, he is screaming or talking so loudly that the baby next to him started crying. i also don't know who's baby is that.
