Morning mummies!
3rd night of CIO and I gave up! haha.
YPG,
I took yr advice and am trying baby whisperer style instead. I gave him his milk, let him play for 20 min and patted him on his back while holding him upright when he got really fussy and sleepy. It did work, and he didnt fall asleep at the bottle or by rocking, so I consider that a small success already.
The reason being, I am very sure CIO will work. But on the second night, when I peeked into his room, I saw this expression on his face which kinda scared me. It was very un-baby like. He was sitting there angry and looked like he was thinking that he was abandoned, and very sad at the same time.
So while CIO will work, I don't feel right doing it, as I always go on my instinct and this method is going against my maternal instinct big time. Like YPG says, he might just withdraw and not trust us as much. And i saw a hint of withdrawal that night.
Sorry for the long post. Just my thoughts. Thanksfor all the advice mummies.

Penny,
It will take a few weeks to get the maid, after taking the employer test, applying for permit etc, even if you get a transfer maid. You don't need a maid agency if you're getting a transfer maid that's already in Singapore.
If you're a FTWM, you only pay $170 levy. I personally pay my Indo maid $350/mth. And you also need to fork out a bit of money for her insurance.

<font color="0077aa">bigflamingo: good that you found something which works for you and Julian. I am also one who did not bother with the CIO approach. While I know it works, like YPG, I actually find it a good time to bond with Cate 'cos the whole day, my helper is the one putting her to sleep during the other 2 naps.
And just to share, previously when Cate was in the same room as my helper, when she wakes up and cannot find anyone, she'd cry. Since we have transferred her back to our room where we are co-bedding at night, she does not cry when she wakes up in her cot (we put her in the cot for her naps) and there is no one there. She just sits there and play with her toes, pull the sling, etc. until she wants someone she'd go "AHHH". Then if we are outside, we will come in and carry her out. Somehow, she seems more confident and more assured.</font>

jjmom,
she's been like that even before her ear piercing le.
bbgoh,
i think sometimes she's still full so i don't force her to eat. but this morning when she just woke up she keeps on signing that she wants to eat le. and she hasn't eaten all night so i know she's hungry. then when she takes a look at her cereal will cry and refuse to eat. i think she is partly following my brother's baby. she is like that too. last night when we went out for dinner, she kept on fussing cause she wants to eat the same thing as my bro's baby (who is almost 2yo). even fuss for the same spoon.

Joanne,
Same lah. Marcus also wants adult food now.
The trick is feed them before we eat. Or use out bowls, big spoons to feed them.
Then when we eating, feed them watever we eat, but in small quantity or the plain stuff.

jelly,
i really hope so. they really spoil her tastesbuds. i'm really praying when we go back SG she will go back to normal too. last night told my hubby that i wish i didn't stay so long. now rianne is so hard to feed.
scold my parents last night too and my sis. but my dad no choice le. rianne doesn't want to go to him unless he has food. then my mum kept saying have to be flexible. then my sis say have to let baby try otherwise she won't understand why everybody is eating this and she cannot. aiyo... almost told her to look at her kid.. he doesn't eat much too.

wan chuen,
Yah, hubby and myself are tinking of alternatives for caretaker.
busybee, ypg, jelly,
Thanks for ur advice. I m looking at Indonesia maid. Hopefully they are "country side mindset", down to earth, simple. I have frns who hav filipino maids and got lots of prob. I very scare. I will put d maid at my that MIL's place.
If she knows that, she will be v happy coz having a maid with her means high class.
Transfer maid: wat does this mean? meaning they come to their employer here and the employer dun like them and are left at agency? does transfer maid = no good?
icylemon,
yah lor. so angry with her. i had also prepared a big ang bao for my aunt for CNY for taking care after claudia. Now, i can save d $$$$ up for my japan trip.
mousebb,
*hugz* hope WX will have a speedy recovery. When our little ones are ill, we mothers are d one who suffers the most. Claudia has fever yesterday and I rushed to my aunt's place to fetch her up. Lucky claudia dint fuss a lot and went to bed at 9plus after med and heng she is better today le.
Rebecca,
Is Nick better already? weather been bad. Do get him and urself to DRINK LOTS OF WATER yeah.

Cheer bear,
I dun trust those nannies i dunno esp when claudia is a girl. Haiz.. I got a neighbour who is a nanny, she looks after a 3 yr old girl. Was tinking to get her help but she is a strict vegetarian. Very scare if Claudia not able to adapt.
mousebb,

little doggie,
ur maid from indo or phil? wat is transfer maid?
EY, vanilla
Thanks for ur advice. At times, when Claudia got new teeth coming out, she would want comfort. She wants pple to carry her. But if put her at childcare, they wouldnt bother with her.
