Mummies, enjoy the sale and icecream!!! May go for the sale this afternoon as hubby is on half day leave. Also going to check out another infant care center...
Lok, how did you manage to do it (FM to BM)? Do u stimulate by expressing or baby suckle? But if there is little or no milk, would baby still have the patience to suckle?
I realised that my milk supply is decreasing, despite latching all the time. I only express once or twice for the last or last 2 feeds at night. Was thinking if it could be cos baby drink less when I latch, therefore, no demand, no supply? Was only able to express maximum 100ml now (in 30mins!!). Used to be able to get 150ml in 15mins! Should I switch to express instead of latching, to stimulate supply again? Any mummies can advise?

Rachel,
I don't have any secrets to go from PBF to TBF. It helps that Jonas needs 1 less feed nowadays. But it's really just meeting his demand now with no excess EBM for storage. Just make sure I empty the boobs and not be too hung up abt TBF (hence less stress otherwise MS might drop). Whether the baby have patience to suckle or not --- guess this depends on individual bbs. FYI, I don't latch Jonas at all as he often falls asleep and wake up in the middle of the nite cos he's hungry. And my current maid is very pro-breastfeeding too, so unlike my previous one who likes to give FM whenever I'm not around (causing Jonas to reject my EBM subsequently) and kept wasting my EBM by giving too much.
flos,
The Bishan PD provides the same package as the TMC PD. They are all under the Paediatric Centre group.

Mummies! I'm back to work from the sale. So gian to go that i told my manager i got held up at home and will be in late. I reached there at 8.50am and there are already people there. I spent $232 on clothes for my son & neice. Think it's gonna last them a long time. They have a lot going at 3 for $10, so very worth it. Got big sizes too and clothes for mens and women. I almost wanted to buy some polo for my HB, but realised that i don't have enuff cash, so ended up not getting his. 1st time i bought more clothes for my boy than for my niece. Got a lot of Oshkosh romper for my son. very worth it to go. Might be dropping by tomorrow again with HB. Too bad i can't join you mummies for the ice-cream as i need to rush back to work. Not much bottoms as in jeans and pants for kids. But got a lot of rompers and one piece. I got those 1 piece suit at 3 for $10. Good for sleeping in aircon room.

think flos and some other mummies posted about eating watermelon? since K is on TBF ilke J, i think or diet affects the bbs. so try drinking more H2O and eating papaya?
wish i could go for the sale! i even skipped my lunch appt cos J has a blocked nose, is coughing and sneezing. he is also quite cranky..could it be teething?

<font color="119911">Klara's mummy (xianee) and dseptkon (dseptkon) - thanks! Will make sure i take more fluids
I think he is not pooing possibly cos i had food poisoning 2 days back and that affected my diet and the BM. I remembered he didn't want to latch on properly and kept pulling away during BFing just before my food poisoning struck, cos maybe the milk tasted funny already!
Anyway, i checked up on baby centre on constipation and it mentioned - Increase the amount of fluid your baby drinks to help keep her stools soft. If your baby is older than 2 months, start by giving her 1 ounce of prune juice diluted with 1 ounce of water, twice a day.</font>

blackberryB: I reached at 8.50am, then left at around 10.45am. The Q is super long. i counted my loot. Bought around 26 set for my son. Out of the 26, 15 is from Oshkosh. My niece about 15 sets. Still got some blankets and shorts for both of them.
Bigtoes, don't worry so much. Maybe K will poo tonight? My son sometimes poo everyday, sometimes every 2 days. But he is on FM lah, different from K. If you really still worried, then just call PD up.

hi
sigh...so sorry that i hv to back out from the ice cream makan...
when i was at the sales, my maid called and said that jvel kept crying and searching for nipple...gave her bottle (both milk and water) but she rejected. Gave her pacifier (just bot, 1st time giving), she like want to vomit!
so i had to rush home...but the queue for paying was so looooong!
When i reached home, she suckled and suckled and fell asleep...looking so satisfied! Die lah, i thinkn i've officially become her human pacifier!
re the sales...well it's just too messy and crowded for me....couldnt even squeezed into the lanes..let alone choosing and browsing properly..
and some MEN were really very un-gentleman...squeezed with the ladies with their sticky sweaty bodies!

<font color="119911">Ade (littlepea) - yah, thanks
I am hoping that he finally poos tonite! Worrying about poo...how our priorities change as mommies! Meanwhile, i just weighed him, and he is up 400gm this week to 7.4kg! Think the weight gain is higher this week cos he is so full of poo now! haha..
TRaz (traz) - argh..if that is the case, i can confirm that hubby won't want to go to the sale! He is the type who would rather pay full price than dig thru the discount section (his clothes have to be all hung up at the rack, cannot be the discount items messed up by everyone digging). Me, on the other hand, saviour rummaging thru the sale bins for excellent bargains!</font>

Bigtoes: Wow, K is heavy! He is only a few days older than my son. Bought him for the 2nd jab ytd, and he is 6.8kg, 62cm long. My neice on the other hand is 2mth older than him weigh only 7kg, 62cm long. Initially have been calling my neice 'fei mei', now my sis called my son 'fei zai'. Looks like K have been absorbing well all the nutrients from you!
Yes, it is usually from this kind of sales that we got excellent bargains! think it's a guy thing, my hubby don't like to go for sales too, especially when he got to squeeze with people.

<font color="119911">Ade (littlepea) - yes, i am also calling K "fat boy".
He was 7kg, about 62cm last week, so i am surprised that he gained 400gm in a week. Will have to weigh him again after he poos..!
I also used to think that my SIL's daughter was big (about 11kg at 1 year old), but K is fast catching up! Yesterday, we were comparing his fat thighs with my sister's 4 year old (she's quite skinny), and K's thighs' girth are about the same size as hers! haiyoh...
Btw, came across this weight/height chart that u mommies might want to check out -
http://pediatrics.about.com/library/growth_charts/nboysbirth.htm
Based on that, K is not THAT fat...about 75th percentile for weight, and 50th percentile for height. The site has another chart for girls as well

Bigtoes, I was also concerned that my boy is putting too much weight. But PD said he is fine as boys tends to be heavier, plus their weight will slow down when they grow older, so it's not an issue if he puts on weight now.
The thread is very quiet today! looks like most of the mummies not back from their ice-cream retreat. Update us on your loot tonight!

xuanting: u overslept? did u go in the end?
stefseanshar: u vanished and resurfaced!!! How come didn't see you at the warehouse sale just now? saw the rest of the mommies...
My damages: $36 for 9 pieces of items
I'm very happy with my selection!! Went home to put them agst Isaac and he looks very handsome in them!! *AHEM*
Nice meeting Jeraldin & Yan for the first time, sorry ladies I gotta rush off to Orchard right after the "digging", so that we could get a seat at the restaurants before the office lunch crowd pops up! Went to MNG sale a second time and grabbed more items
so happy today!
Mei: didn't see u there.
sunrays: I checked out the Sephora PRIVATE EVENT from outside, yes, ONLY from outside...saw Benefits and Becca which are available elsewhere in Singapore. The other established brands are similar to SASA's. They carry mainly their own housebrand products...hhaa

Didn"t even glance at the girls' stuffs but am sure they are very pretty...
Maybe they will take them out tomorrow and on Sunday?!

Char didnt poo for 8 days and i wasn't worried at all..didnt bring her to the PD too. Cos she didnt seem to be in distress so i patiently waited for the massive bomb. But things got better ever since i fed her Heinz juices...there's a prune & apple, it states 6mths but i still feed her tat. Now she is trying the Pear juice which states 4mths.. it states on the jar 'diluted, ready to drink', i tasted it-not sweet at all. I mix 1oz water with 1 oz juice, sometimes i add in 1 teaspoon of gripe water too. Now she poos almost everyday, maximum wait is 2days.
FELLOW CHIONGSTERS
Had fun today...especially with our chatuchak lookalike stash on the floor!! It's definitely fun chope-ing for fellow mummies...grab,grab and grab!! Too bad i had to rush off for an assignment juz now, otherwise can shop arnd TM too!!
