<font color="119911">Hey Mei - saw your note at Kieran's blog - yes - please link our blog to Devon's "baby popcorn" site. I see you guys have tested out your stroller with Devon! Btw, why "popcorn"?
isabelle (isa_belle) - wow, so how did your 'ugly' cupcakes taste? Very "on" to bake cupcakes for 1st month.
Hehe, the only thing we are making is bear-shaped jelly to match the bear theme in our invite cards.
SarahMay (sarahmay) - how come you are almost at your pre-preggie weight (congrats!) and your belly button is still an outtie? Mine is a deep innie now - deeper than it was initially!!
bacon&egg (baconegg) - yes, you need to wake up to BF or express or else the milk supply might drop. My CL is still doing EBM feeds at night, but I usually wake up at least 2X to express during the night when I feel the letdown or leakage. Luckily my milk flow is pretty fast - so I take just 5 minutes to express, and am back in bed within 10-15 minutes after washing up the bottles.
storeberry (storeberry)- think the problem with Pet Pet for Kieran is that there are gaps at the leg area, so pee/poo can leak out. The elastic doesn’t hold very well for him at the thigh area.
Ava (avalyn) - 3.4 and 3.5kgs are good weight lah. Girls better not be too "ba bak". I would rather have petite daughters!
l'l CY^^l'l CH (lilboymum) - thanks for your diaper assessment. Am trying out Nepia now, and so far, so good. Let us know if Goo.N is any better! We have some Drypers from some hamper, but think most probably will stick to Pampers (night and outside) and Nepia during the day. Think Mamypoko is the most expensive of the lot?
chantelle sun (chantellesun) - jia you! I am sure with BFing, you will lose the weight pretty fast. Anyway, you are tall, so the weight gain is less obvious.
On 1st month - its pretty much up to you. We are having a buffet, and giving cake sets to people attending (1 per individual, or a larger set for families). Quite troublesome though, cos we need to order the right quantities of cake sets, and a lot of wastage cos of last minute drop outs.
alabone (alabone) - am subscribing to Mother & Baby as well. A lot of useful articles ya... Have to be careful of how much alcohol can be taken directly though - cannot consume before BFing as it would go into the milk and might intoxicate the baby. Meanwhile, I had only 1 meal of pork trotters and it was so fatty, I had just like one bite and my CL ate up the whole pot!
xuanting (xuanting)- on feeding EBM with a spoon, we tried that for 2 days before the CL came, but used a bottle when she came cos it would be too troublesome to ask her to spoon feed.
Kieran is now 1 month old, and he doesn’t have a teat/nipple confusion (he treats the teat like a nipple and suckles very hard, with a big portion of the teat inside his mouth). If you are worried, maybe get the wide-neck bottles where the teats replicate the nipple (I know Farlin has it at Kiddy Palace).
Rachel Lim (rac_lim) - the sensation is the "let down reflex". Feels kinda sore and tingly, then the milk starts to leak. I get that during the night when the boobs are full, or sometimes even in the shower or when Kieran cries!!
Flos (flos) - the metabolic report from TMC doesn’t state anything. Its just a 2-pager with nil, nil, nil to indicate that all is fine.</font>
