<font color="119911">shazz (shazzerlyn) - hah, was just reading about u secretly doing things behind your CL's back (like showering, drinking coke).
I am doing the same as well - like hubby sneaking me a wedge of cold orange. Not like 1 slice of orange will cause Kieran to have wind right - Baby center website said "in large quantities". Its like telling a preggy woman not to touch a drop of tea or coffee cos "caffeine will cause miscarriage."
Btw, were can we get the chinese pill "Su He Yuan" that helps to expel wind??
Flos (flos) - yes, my CL applies A LOT of oil on Kieran's tummy after bath and after each time she changes his diapers. It is not ruyi but something she brought from Indonesia, with the same effect. He smells like a bottle of the Chinese oil rather than a baby now!
alabone (alabone) - we have been hinting to the CL that babies do not always need to be fed whenever they cry lah….just that she keeps saying "he pees a lot (and shows me his pee in the brand essence) - so he is hungry again"…or "he is growing, so much eat a lot"… or" breast milk not filling compared to FM - have to drink more"…
l'l CY (lilboymum) - congrats!! Qi'Hui is a pretty name
Kym Teo (pebblez) - yes, I think it is a week 3-6 growth spurt. I am not sure how much Kieran is drinking even - cos I latch on during the day, and my CL gives EBM or FM between 12 midnight -7am. I think on average he drinks like 100ml EBM a night, and maybe 60ml of FM in 3 sessions. He has no problem sleeping for 3+ hours at a stretch when I BF him during the day, but wakes up on average every 2 hours (2+am, 4+am, 6+am) when the CL feeds him. Does the gripe water (fei chai sui) help him to settle down abit?
Rabbit (rebirth) - just hang in there. If the BM is not enough and baby is going thru a growth spurt, then better to top up with FM than to let him go hungry also. Think most CL are from the era where no one breastfed, so they are very pro FM. Like I mentioned, my CL would feed Kieran FM even when I have EBM in the fridge at night, and she always claims that my BM is not "thick enough and not filling".
dmbb (dmbb)- not sure if its colic. I suspect its cos she makes him feed everytime he cries and tummy gets too bloated and uncomfy. I tell her that and she makes up some excuse...
My massage lady is pretty good - if she says she is coming at 9.30am, she smses me before she leaves home and comes right on the dot. I did 5 sessions with her last week, and I think my tummy is abit smaller already…not used to it being quite flat, after 10 months of fatness!
Unfortunately, I did ask if she could take on more customers, and she is fully booked till Jan 2009!
SnowWhite80 (snowwhite80) - Kieran cries before every pee and after every poop. After pooping cos he doesn’t like the sticky feeling I guess, but duno why he does it before he pees (CL's logic "the pee-pee hole has to open for the pee to come out, and it is painful, so babies cry!"….!!)</font>
