Teacher mummies, my appeal is unsuccessful despite the fact that I've long informed the school about my plans. since months ago? Default is default. Period. Kyrie, your principal is REALLY nice!
I'm so disappointed with the answers I get for that. Well, life has to move on, but I'm seriously thinking of quitting soon.
Qiuling: if you still want to know more about the circular, I can PM the changes.
Anyway, heard of these lobangs recently:
Cheong Choon Baby Store
- Sell prams, car seats, toys etc (Mike bought her Combi pram (Same model as mine) less than $300.)
- @Chinatown
- 65323855
A Chinese Medical Hall which I never notice their name
- Cheap diapers, wet wipes and milk powder
- @Blk 735 Pasir Ris St 72 #01-306
- 65829049
Merry Christmas!

rach,
u can try this link for the leg warmers. Not sure if you can access as it is a multiply a/c
http://11042008.multiply.com/
Question,
If your bb is able to sit quietly on the rocker/swing...do you "disturb" him by singing/talking or u leave him/her alone for the few moments of peace n quiet?
Bigtoes/Cloud,
I also bought Kaiden Xmas rompers last Sunday. There is this cart at Raffles City selling bb's clothes...
Only $10 per romper.

Sarahmay,
Did you share to feed/nurse bb 30 mins before flight takes off? why? Can we nurse while the plane is taking off/landing?
Changing diaper on empty seat..do they allow you to do that? or u use your own seat to change?
Do they allow you to bring stroller onboard?
Can we use mineral/distilled water to boil and make a feed?
Sorry..alot of questions cos i am preparing for a trip with Kaiden..

Finally had time to go thru the archives!
yan: I propped the cushion behind him but it didn't reach his head cos the Bumbo chair is rather thick, and his head is slightly forward, so there's still some distance from the cushion to his head. My boy's neck is pretty strong and he likes to be carried in the upright position, and he can support his head pretty well.
sunrays: yeah, he looks so big hor.
Mei: devon looks so happy kicking Big Bird! hehe, he must be attracted by his bright yellow coat! wow, swimming competiton, a Michael Phelps in the making!
Flos: the insert I'CY is talking about is for the Ergo baby carrier that we got. The Ergo carrier is meant for bigger babies whose necks are strong enough. The insert is used to support the neck of the infants, so that they can still be Ergo-ed.
I'CY: yeah, I agree that the Ergo is fantastic! No backache for me unlike when I use the MIM sling for the whole day. Love love the thick cushioning.
Jaline: yeah, that's what I do with my boy too, when he wakes up at 430am, I fed him with grip water + water and he just went back to sleep till the morning. We only had to do that once and he slept right through on his own.
Dolly: vivienne is so chubby and pretty! well done! are you still breastfeeding her?
Breastfeeding: Hmmn, I may be the 1st mummy to stop breastfeeding here. During the last few days, my left breast (the one that is producing more milk) is calling it a day cos I think I over abused it! the skin on my areola tore badly, so bad that some parts are bleeding and the flesh is exposed. I had to air the left breast the entire night and day as the plasma from the open wound would get stuck to any clothing I'm wearing. I cried when I peeled off the breast pad cos the torn skin and blood got stuck to it! MEGA OUCH! I tried applying Lasinoh cream, breast milk and all but didnt really help. Best is to air dry it and let it heal by itself.
My GP prescribed pills for me to suppress milk production but I'm hesistant to take it. Despite the pain, I'm still trying to breastfeed as long as I can, I tried to latch my boy on, cos I can't pump. He only latched on once when he was in a good mood, the rest of the time, he just cried and cried!
My breasts are engorged now, and I'm using cold cabbage leaves to sooth them, warm shower and also eating maltose which I read will lower supply.
By the way, I've tried hand pumping, but only a few drops came out! I can only relieve the engorgement by latching my boy using the nipple shield.
Hope my ordeal will be over soon, either let the skin heal asap or let my milk supply dry up!

Just as I was about to ask mummies for advice regarding resuming breastfeeding, and I saw ur post that u might be the first mummy here to stop breastfeeding. I have stopped breastfeeding since baby is 2 months old, and is on total formula milk now. I have not been pumping milk for at least 4 weeks now, and I don't have any engorgement already for a long time. All along, I only thought that I had low MS, and so I resigned to that fate. But then only recently, that I talked to a colleague who told me her story, I couldn't believe it. I was the one who actually caused the low MS.
She told me that the main reason that I had low MS was because I went on PBF from Day 1 since Rachael is born. I had this perception at that time, thinking that she might be hungry if I can't BF her on the first day. So, I stupidly told the nurse I was going on partial BF, and they supplemented with FM.
Even during my confinement period, my CL told me:" You don't have enuff MS, must supplement with FM." I was so silly, didn't realise from day one that DEMAND=SUPPLY. Until I realise it, it was already too late. If Rachael has problems latching, then at least I won't feel so bad not being able to BF her. The thing is, every time I tried to latch Rachael on, she looks so happy and "enthusiastic" for my milk. I love the bond, and I am so upset that I had to see her disappointed face everytime she can't get enuff milk off my breast. I dunno how to describe the feeling, just feel angry with myself that I had made the WRONG choice to supplement with FM from day one.
Then I thought that if I latch her on, milk will come in for sure. But the longer I try to latch her on, the hungrier she gets, and she will be crying non-stop cos the milk simply comes too slow. That's how my MS went so low, I had to put her on total FM.
My colleague's story. She did ZERO BF for her #1, cos she has simply "no milk". She supplemented from Day one because of that, thinking that she belongs to the "low MS" category of mummies, so she gave up totally. When #2 comes along, she put him on Total BF, and guess what? She TBF #2 for 24 months! Her #1 is sickly, while #2 grows up strong and fit.
Mummies, do you think it's still possible to resume BFing my gal again? Sorry for writing and ranting so much, just felt the need to let it out of me. I have been quite emotional these days thinking of this problem. Didn't even tell hubby about it..But dunno if my MS will come back. Her story really inspires me to resume BF and hang on for Rachael's sake. But my MS is zero now..I really want to go back to BF her..how??

Jas (mobilesuitegal): don't be so hard on yourself. your girl is growing well too yah? there are also many stories of how TBF babies are also falling sick too.
On resuming breastfeeding, perhaps you can check out this website, may have the answer you're looking for. Because I've heard of adoptive mothers who started breastfeeding!

<font color="0077aa">Lok: Why did you decide on the transfer maid? I didn't take up transfer maid cos we are afraid that might not be good so got a new maid now waiting for so long for her passport..

Jasmine Yeo: I was going to say your bb's hair grows so fast! Then realise the pix are not in order..

Sasa: Can see the growth of Max from your pix, he is becoming a handsome boy! I must do it for Zane, maybe a collage of his growth..

my bb gives me that stunned look alot when i try taking photos plus she's curious about the shutter sound from the camera.

Shazz, i have always been pumping like 12hrs apart since i started looking after Janelle all by myself. Then when Janelle was 1 mth old, my menses came and milk supply immediately dropped by 1/2 and it just got lesser and lesser.. then i started to get lazy 2 weeks ago, didn't even bother to pump until 24hrs later.. 2 days later, i simply didn't bother anymore.. cos i never really got the engorged issue even when i had lots of milk.
Jas, I was like you. I supplement her with FM from day 1 in the night so that she wont have to go hungry. Then she was so forceful whenever i latched her on. I got scare off also.. so I was expressing most of the time.. only when the volume started to drop then i latch her to stimulate it.. I felt bad to give up so early too but my HB conforted me.. so I don't feel so bad abt it.. towards the end of my bf-ing days, when i latched Janelle, she was not even interested.. she took it as a "toy" i think.. she pushed it out, smiled at me and latch it again.. so funny..
Talking abt sick vs strong.. I rem Flos's story - bf baby sick mostly wheras FM baby is stronger.. i guess not all bf baby will be strong, it depends very much on what the mummy takes...

shazz,
like i said to you..u r a wonderful mom..
maybe u wanna pray abt the decision to continue or to stop..
jas,
why not seek lactation consultant's advice? or start to resume pumping/latch-on? see if it works? Dont be too hard on yourself abt bf..my colleagues' kids also bf exclusively but fall sick quite often, whereas my boss's kids on total FM since day one are v healthy...it all depends...bb will get their nutrients from different sources when they grow older..

storeberry: i wasn't making faces at Eamon, all I had to do was point the camera in his direction and he'll have that inquisitive look on his face!
jaymickey: I see! I hope my engorgement will go off soon.
My friend TBF her baby till she was 13mths old, but the poor girl fell sick every mth cos she's in infant care. My niece was TBF till 23mths, and she hardly fall sick. Think it differs from babies ... but research did show that TBF will help babies to develop stronger immunity system.
Aloysius: I managed to capture some shots of my boy smiling though. Here's one of my favourites.

like u, i find it difficult to find time to pump when i took care of Kaiden since week two after birth (CL saga!) Very often i find myself pumping halfway and bb is crying away in his cot wanting to be carried or soothed..v stressful whenever i pump...had to wait till hubby comes home before i can pump peacefully...these days, i can only pump 100ml or less the whole day...i am thinking of stopping too but the cost of buying PIS kinda stopped me...think i will continue to pump as long the breasts are "working"!! sigh......

Hi Yan - I know! Even when Shauna is decked in pink, I also get ppl asking if boy or gal!! Then on sat at the swimming place my MIL asked this mummy if her baby is boy or gal and the baby was in pink lor! I felt pai seh... so I've bought quite a number of bows and clippies
Angeline - double eye lid very strange one.. most of the time the left one is so embedded it is like single! So one eye big one eye small..

<font color="0077aa">Angeline: My boy only drink 90ml EBM now, give him 100ml & he will leave 10ml..
So PD says its ok? When do we need to up the amount?
Sunrays: Char's cheeks also biteable!!
Bacon&egg: If Zane can sit quietly at his bouncer then I will leave him there for a while cos in fact they are learning while sitting there. Looking at how the lights shine on the windows, the sounds of horn, or the hanging toys above. (From What to expect in the 1st yr)
Jas
on't be so hard on yourself ok? I think you might be able to resume BF-ing! Jia you!</font>

But as long as Eamon is growin, and he is, it is good... oh and about dressing nicely at home? er.. she doesn't la, usually it is the cheap $1-$2 rompers I bought from HK.. that night we went out and came home slightly past midnight.. she was yelling already only managed to take out her pants!
Storeberry - not sure lei.. it is just normal lighting at home.. but my hb bought an SLR so can take multiple shots to capture all those fleeting moments.. also bought this lens for portraits. Bad thing is cannot zoom.. just go very near her face!!!

Your xmas tree is gorgeous! Really puts me in a xmas mood!

Eamon is getting more handsome. Your picture reminds me of my Bumbo seat, will take it out for Devon to sit on.

I got the Babysafe rectangle flat pillow for Devon. He started sleeping on it since he turned 2 months old. You can see the pillow in the picture I posted previously of him kicking & playing with his gym.
Here's a picture of Devon laughing away.

jas: agree with what the rest hv said...dun be upset. like jaymickey said, my sis was on TBF for both her sons, but they are admitted to hospital all the time for flus and colds...tsk tsk...maybe that fren of urs didn't take tonics and was not well-rested for her #1 pregnancy?
Why not grind some cordyceps and blend into his porridge now? It's not too late to 'bu' when the bb is developing, right?
i might hv to stop expressing this week cos i've no more milk ss. I hv not expressed for more than 24 hrs already and my boy is drinking his FM very well...PLus Fenugreek pills and hv started taking a cuppa coffee every morning, and I'm left with 3 pairs of breast pads as of today.
rachel: here's my bb in bblegs @ Ikea on Sun, if u want to look-see...
xuanting: I figured u bought the Rainforest Take Along Swing is it? It's not avail in SG yet, did u get it from overseas or internet? Im thinking of buying the Rainforest Bouncer but it cannot be found here...
Zane: hhaha..uncanny resemblance

springz,
i have 2 version of leg warmers - one $9.90 and the other $18 per pair. They both looks equally thick and warm to me. Have to wash n wear them before i know which is the better quality. So far, i have washed $18 version..still quite good..

hey Jas - sorry also missed out on your post.. pl dun be so hard on yourself.. actually I read somewhere before that women don't have to be pregnant, or to have given birth, to be able to produce breast milk.. It is really on demand, body will produce.. Not sure if this is an appropriate suggestion, but why not let her latch just to stimulate breast? Can continue to give her FM in the meantime till MS comes.. may take a while but i think the body will react to the need and start producing again.. just don't be discouraged esp by her look of disappointment.. keep letting her try?

thanks to all mummies for the encouragement on my BF situation. Spent one hour manual expressing my troubled breast and released 1 oz of precious milk! My hand is gonna break anytime soon! the price of motherhood ... the reward ... their super contagious smile and laughter which takes all the pain away ... priceless!
Aloysius, Mei: thanks for the compliments!
mei: how did you manage to capture him laughing and smiling all the time?

Storeberry - likewise, mine consumes dependant on mood, sometimes 100 ml sometimes 90ml (if fed by my parents then 10ml goes into the sink..sigh)
Shazz - Jia You. My lactating consultant says even if mummy has little milk, its still milk for baby. Ouch..must be painful. You take good care.
Aloysius - my hubby saved all in high res jpg. So here is the low res version of my boy after a bath but still very big lea

wow, so many lovely pix here! is anyone entering their baby for any contest?
flos, i got it at mothercare (centrepoint). $159 i think. i really like it for its colours too! it has 5 swing speeds and a few songs (cannot select; loop). my baby seems quite fascinated with the toucan hanging from the fake branch; always staring v hard at it and have seen her trying to swipe at it a few times. and btw, the pillows, all given by friends/relatives. how come your utility bill is so high? $400 is v scary! do you turn on 2 aircons at night?
bacon&egg, where do you park moo moo when you go on a trip?
shazz, i also kena the bleeding at the areola. sigh. tomorrow don't know can pump or not. maybe will have to hand express. can't imagine having to hover over a bowl again...

Hi Breadmum - congrats on successful loading of pic!
Your boy is really cute! I know what you mean when it is others feeding and 10-20 ml goes down the sink.. very heartpain rite? think one of the mummies intro this link last time to resize pics.. www.picnik.com
oh found another way that stopped Shauna from crying! Holding a piece of tissue in front of her and letting the fan blow it in all directions.. found this game in this book I have on baby play.. will let you all have a look at the book when at my place
cheap ways for devt skills.. tissue one is for tracking purposes..

correction!! - Rach and Bacon&egg - it is $10 for 2 pairs.. though BP is 'closed' i think still got stock for some plain coloured ones.. so based on B&E's description should be pretty thick too... Rach can check it out!

Hi Jas, weeks ago I was equally stressed over BF. I'm alternating FM and BM for his feeds still. Wanted so much to do total BF but I always can't seem to fill his stomach enough. Perhaps you can call a lactation consultant? They can visit you at home to teach for a slightly higher price.
My supply is much more now, I normally get 75mL every 4 hours when expressed. Supply comes with demand; you have to persevere BUT do NOT be too hard on yourself. It's tough getting out of it but you can!
Just to share what my LC told me. If possible feed on one breast because hind milk comes 15 - 20 min after feed starts and that is the best milk. However, my baby used to twist and turn a lot after 15 min and she said that my milk flow is probably too low. For such a situation, I need to alternate between breasts, 15 min on each side. It seems to work, and baby is feeding much better now.
Anyway, he is drinking 140 mL now, for BM, he drinks about every three hourly.
Hope this helps.

Hi Mummies,
Need some advise on hind milk. Hind milk only come in 15-20 mins after each feed start? Possible to come in earlier?
When pumping BM out, Hind milk only comes after 15-20 mins later?
I only let my darling latch on during night time, daytime i will express BM out and bottle feed her.
Normally, my pumping time will be for about 20 mins. Does it mean that there isn't any hind milk? Kind of worry that my girl din get enough nutrition?
After each pump, I can see there are 2 layers of milk which are different in colour.
Is it that -
1st layer = Fore milk (translucent / light milky in colour.)
2nd layer = Hind milk (creamy in colour)
Sorry ar, I 'mountain turtle' though I am not a first time mummy. My 2 kids latched on directly previously.
Thank you so much!
