Re: breastfeed, for me i told the nurse in hospital to let bb drink FM if they think bb is hungry cos i know my milk are not in yet during tat few days. even when i discharge i will still supplement with FM. Dun give urself too much pressure as to how much to breastfeed. i told myself some is better then not at all. for both kids my pump is my best freind, cos both dun like my nipple, one side too short and they are impatient boys! With my first bb, there was times i try to force him to suck (i try like 30mins), but still failed! so i juz pump and pump lor....everyone told me latch on is good and etc....but i juz tell them so long as have breastmilk can already.. so for my 2nd bb, for my 1st 3 mths (maternity leave) i can pump for 1 hour every 3-4 hourly, initial qty can be like 100-120ml but i juz continue cos i know i need to pump else my supply will be damn low. slowly my supply was established!! so then after i return to work, i had to reduce the duration from 1hour - 30 or 45mins and the supply dun drop. sometimes my supply for a 6 hours interval (11pm - 5am) can reach up to 500-700ml...m really proud of myself...kekeke..i feel my 1 hours of hardwork is put off. so what if i supplement with FM, I still can breastfeed my bb for as long as i want! PDD I have my share too, there was a time when i want to juz drop my younger boy from my arms to the floor! luckily i managed to control myself.

Buffy:
Sorry I'll give the signing DVDs a miss for now.
Vanilla:
E reminds me of how KJ throws a tantrum in class whenever he is asked to return the toys. He cried so loud that the teachers say nvm let him hold the toy. I know it's the right way to teach but I don't want his cries to disturb the class. How is E's feeding now? He eating more in the day now that you cut his intake at night?

Indonesian domestic helper admitted to drugging soup, court told

SINGAPORE: Her Indonesian domestic helper confessed to putting tablets into her soup which made her drowsy, 79—year—old Madam Mah Ah Choo told a court on Thursday.
Madam Mah said her helper, Windri Hartatik, 26, admitted to doing this in December last year after Madam Mah confronted when she felt drowsy and weak after taking the soup.
Madam Mah said Hartatik, who is charged with pitting 10 tablets of a stupefying drug into her employer’s food, told her she got the pills from a neighbour and was instigated to stir them into Madam Mah’s food.
In her statement read out in court on Thursday, Hartatik said she brought the tablets from Indonesia and she would add about three to five tablets into her employer’s soup about twice a week whenever she felt angry with her.
She did it so that Madam Mah would sleep and "she would not inspect my work so I could sleep earlier".
Hartatik had said "I have no intention to kill her" and she herself would take the pills whenever she needed help in sleeping.
Earlier, Hartatik had claimed that she had admitted to her offence only after being threatened by the investigating officer that she would face a higher charge if she did not do so.
This was however denied by both the deputy public prosecutor and the investigating officer.
Madam Mah told the court that Hartatik had been in her employ for close to two years and while she had reprimanded her Indonesian helper from time to time, the pair shared a cordial relationship.
The trial continues Friday.

BF:
Dylan and I are 'victims' to the 'Breastmilk is the Best' campaign as well. I declared TBF in the hospital and sticked to it. Never even realize that Dylan's cries during the 1st 5-6 days was due to constant hunger till months later when a friend asked when did my milk flow kicked in. It's only on Day 5/6 that it kicked in. Was real excited though nipples were real sore with Dylan's strong suction during the 1st few days. Dylan got re-admitted to TMC for jaundice on Day 8 and was intro-ed to bottle-feeding while I had to visit the lactation consultant due to extremely engorged breasts. On Day 10, Dylan got back home and he despised my nipples as he got used to the bottle. Both he and I cried from anguish and impatient of being unable to bf properly. Doesn't help with mum constantly nagging/chanting that Dylan's hungry and I should not be stubborn with bf and should just intro the FM and bottle. Every bf session is filled with tears. Both mine and Dylan. Remember I was carrying him and clenching my fist each time I feed him due to my sore nipples. I want to proof my mum wrong that I got not enough milk so I persevered on. Rough journey to BF successfully but journey to direct latching was cut short when Dylan decided to bite/chew my nipples till it bled and had pus that refused to recover after 2 weeks of excessive bm and cream application. Thus, it's pumping till supply dies off when he's 14mths old...I was too hard on myself and agonized everyone around me during the 1st few weeks. Don't think I'll be as stubborn the next time round...
R&R,
Ask your friend to rebel! Just bathe and heck care the mil! For the 1st week my mum refused to let me bath too and I had rashes on my breasts and tummy area which made me feel really depressed as it adds on to the agony of bf-ing difficulties!

Hey Cheerbear, I really have an issue with the whole you have to OT to show you are working hard attitude. In my opinion, she is not efficient enough to get things done during working hours!
diapers
Mummies, I'm using cloth diapers during the day. At night I'm using NTUC brand disposables. I used to use Pampers but switched to NTUC to save costs. Cheapo me. It has since leaked twice on me. When Jo poo in the night, urine will leak. Hubby wants to change brands. So what's a good and cheap brand alternative? Pampers is too ex.
Buffy
Next Tuesday can't ah. Ditto Wed & Fri. Thu?

Dylan caught the virus from my bro because my bro can't keep himself in his room away from Dylan! Angry! But good thing is, Dylan's still dancing, running and being cheeky so still not too bad...just that his appetite's not too good...had given him barley water, fever med and Sambucol...
Karen,
Agree that Huggies Dry Comfort is cheap and good!
little doggie,
You got good perseverance to 'stay dirty'! Hehe!
Cheer Bear,
I understand how you are feeling now at work as I had a rough patch at work in my previous job which I thought was a dream job that I'll stay on till I retire! Good environment, good pay, good job scope, great colleagues and boss but alas...an axxhole for a direct supervisor! Worked there for 3 mths but I was really miserable for the last 1-2 mths I was there...so my advise to you will be....time to look around and move on while you are still hanging on there...it's really hard to work with a direct supervisor's against you....it'll not only affect your mood during work but also your mood at home too...

no need to "ren". office politics is juz a game. i have been working here for 10 years. i have learned how to play along & making use of ppl. well... mite sound very "jian" but this is how a game should play.
i only know from 8.30am - 6.00pm, i have to be mean to certain group of ppl or kind to a certain group of ppl. and after 6.00pm i m back to myself.
in this world the most difficult thing to deal with is human relationship.</font>
