you can buy psyllium husk to add to your juice or food, or just increase your veg n fruit intake. Prune juice helps. sounds like you may have hemorrhoids. adding fibre to your diet so that you will have DAILY bowel movement can help soften your stool and stop the bleeding.
 
Finally bought the open top swing fr kiddy palace today, hopefully my boy will like it...

bur,
i bought my stroller from kaki bukit, but mine was old model so on special...

winnie,
capella not bad but minus pt is bulky & heavy
 
Zach took the 2nd jab for 6-in-1 todae..meant to bring him to see the rashes on his face and for his rotarix as well. Got a free tin of Similac follow-on..hehehe

He's 5.4kg (average) and 61cm in length (75th percentile) which is not bad..PD commented that he's faster than other babies of his age, so talkative to the PD and keep smiling at her..haha, cheeky boy!
 
Hello mummies!

How is everyone doing?

Wonder if any breast feeding mummies encounter this problem: whenever baby is finishing her feed soon (latch on) she will start to wail and shove her head from side to side, throw her arms and legs about and start to get really fustrated, after which she will fall asleep after i pat her.

Does any mummy know what is my baby prob?
 
tamms

hi chantelle,

my kid has the same frustration behaviour. i guess maybe he does not want to drink anymore. when i pulled him away, he seemed happy and does not show hungry. so i just let him be. if u know the answer, let me know

,
Jus wanna check.. Did all of u bring ur bb back to the PD for the 1st mth assessment? My insurance agent & cordlife ppl ask for the 1 st mth review.. then i realised I did not bring my bb to her PD for tat
sad.gif
Super blur mummy here.. By the time i noe abt this, my bb is oreadi 6 wks old, so I din bother liao..

Vaccinations
The Vaccination for 2 mths, can only be done when bb is fully 2 mths old?? anyone did it slightly earlier?? Thinking of doing it on the same day tat I'm going for my pap smear so tat daddy dun haf to take so much leave.. anyone can advise me pls?

Baby-friendly Shopping Malls
Any ideas which malls are more bb friendly?? I'm so bored at home.. thinking of going shopping w my bb.. but dunno where to go..
 
xuelyn,
i did bring my boy to PD for 1st mth assessment, but the cordlife never ask me to provide this thing ler...

for 1st jab, it was supposed to be done when my boy 2 mths old but i brought him to PD 1 wk plus earlier coz need to consult PD for other thing too, on the other hand i can save the consultation fee too... hehe!

baby friedly shopping mall? think all the major shopping malls bah... i've brought my boy out many many times already coz i also bored at home... like yesterday i brought him out alone from morning until late afternoon, we went to AMK hub then compass pt then tampines mall then to my fren's house... haha! coz nowadays weather so hot so i rather to bring my son to shopping mall to enjoy the air-con, and he sleeps well when going out... 一举两得
 
Hi Jess,
wow u bery steady lei!!
I brought my bb out to TM b4.. but she keep fussing, n refuse to slp in the stroller.. but I recently bought the Bjorn carrier. hopefully it'll b better
happy.gif
 
fabbie
I had the same prob as you with the bleeding. It was quite a lot so very scary. Take lotsa water, veg, eat banana and other fibrous fruit. Make sure u go toilet everyday.

xuelyn
I like taka, there's a great baby room at the kid's dept, the best I've seen so far. Raffles City is good too, baby room is at the kids floor.
Not so good for vivo, their nursing rooms are very small, only 1 at a time so if its occupied have to go to another floor. There was also a small cockroach on their changing mat... and the lid of the bin is heavy has to be lifted... yucks

chantalle
I'm facing the same issue with bb fussing at the breast... prob cos she's full I guess
 
xuelyn,
try to make ur bb get use to stroller lor... initially my boy also will eh eh eh when i put him on stroller, but i dun wan to carry him using carrier coz i scared if he too used to be carrier then he will reject stroller later, wat if bb getting heavier later then will hav backache problem ler... nowaday he ok liao, & he can sleep throughout in the stroller whenver we go shopping... hehe
 
xuelyn, I like to go paragon, taka, suntec and vivo when bring bb out for shopping cos there are nursing rooms in these malls. Only vivo dun have the hot water supply.
 
Jes,
my stroller bery heavy lei.. 8kg wor.. I rather carry my 4kg+ bb in the carrier now.. than lurge the heavy stroller w me.. hee

Tamms,
Taka sounds great..! Thinking taking mrt today.. ha ha.. see bb mood how then decide whether wanna go out. Thanks!
 
xuelyn,
my boy 6kg+ already, almost the same weight as my stroller... i rather to let THE stroller does the job... hehe!

ya go out & take a walk laa... not bad to go out during weekdays... less crowded too!
 
Jes..
Shopping sounds v gd jus sian cos gotta carry 1 big bag of bb stuff along.. u stay where? next time can go shopping together.. hee
 
xuelyn,
i'm BF-ing so less thing to bring lor... if bag too heavy i can juz hang it on the stroller... so why use baby carrier? got to carry bb & bag in the same time ler... hehe! unless there is someone helping u to carry the bag laa, like wat i did last time when i used carrier, i always ask hubby to carry my diaper bag...

oh i stay in sengkang, u ler...
 
tamms
yeah.. my whole toliet bowl is full of blood =( and i recently alot of poo. -___-

xuelyn
today im going to vivo. hope my gal wont fuss!!! *cross finger* im using a bjorn.. and MAYBE hope to get a sling too. hehe
 
fabbie,

Ya u have piles .. see a doc .. to ask him for medicine .. it's the kind of pill u have to insert up your, errr .. Pharmacy has it .. "Anusol" .. but dunno if ok to take while breastfeeding. That's why must ask doc. My hubby gets piles off and on that how I know .. lol.
 
Anyone know if cradle cap smells? Think my gal has cradle cap and her head smells sour even right after bathing her.

Having sore throat now. Wonder if taking lozenges will affect my breast milk.
sad.gif
 
i juz got back from Plaza SG..not too bad but onie one nursing room at 3rd floor.. so i changed Zach's diaper beside the lift instead..hahaha.

I like paragon as well. Never brought baby to taka before. This weekend may go..hehe

Jes, mabe one day i can meet u at compass point for lunch!

I bought Bjorn Air and tried it at home,gosh, so heavy! I cant help but to bend forward carrying Zach in the end daddy say he will use when we go out instead, i sweat so much..haha. But when i was using stroller, not all taxi driver will help, some so terrible..
sad.gif
 
fabbie
go see a doc if increasing fibre intake doesn't help. my whole toilet bowl was red too but i stopped bleeding after a few days
 
emeraldbride,

ya!!! I am against ALL taxi drivers. When I used to take public transport .. I'd rather push my girl (that time only 1 child .. lol) all the way to the MRT station from my condo rather than take a cab where u have to close the stroller and put it in the boot cos most of the time, the blardy taxi driver won't freaking help lor. Why should I help him earn money if he's not going to help me with my stroller?? I'd rather take a train.

huh.
 
n their reason: Ur stroller so heavy (its a peg perego) and i scared i will spoil it..n when give change, ask if he can keep my 80cents change..wtf!!
 
Dolphin and tamms, thks for sharing! i have concluded that Baby is full and refuse to suckle anymore, thus shake her head from side to side and cry!

Great info on baby friendly malls! So far i only bring baby to Farjar shopping mall
sad.gif
Just in case she start to cry i can speed all the way home!

Emeraldbride, haha.. always hear you complaining abt taxi drivers since ur pregnancy, now give birth liao still complaining abt them..Lol.

Mummies who are bringing ur baby out alone with stroller, if you really need to take a taxi, how do you manage to carry ur baby and close the stroller and put into the boot at the same time?? Like Sam mention, i guess most drivers dun help?? Wanted badly to go shopping, but afraid that i cannot handle with shopping bags etc.
 
When I had to take a cab once or twice when I was carless and maidless (I had only 2 kids then) ... the MacLaren folds quite easily with one hand .. sort of .. then I carry my girl with one hand, open the boot with the other and then bend down and lift the stroller into the boot. My elder girl was around 5 at the time so I would get her to hold my handbag etc.

wa damn angry with the taxi driver.

when we got to my place, same thing .. he refused to get out to help me. My mom told me next time to scream at the taxi driver .. but how can?? I'm with 2 kids .. I also dare not in case he goes beserk.

sigh

Now I drive and I purposely BULLY (eg tailgate, flash etc) taxi drivers on the roads and refuse to give way to them ..

HAHAHAHAH .. yes, I am evil.

I totally agree with emeraldbride's complaints about taxi drivers man ...

HORRIBLE USELESS MEN THEY ARE.
 
Hi mummies

Nursing rooms
Chanced upon this, thought it might be useful.

Baby refusing the bottle
I am currently tbf my girl, however, in preparation for infantcare, have also been giving her EBM once a day. She has been taking the bottle quite happily, until last week, when she just refuses to drink from it. She'd scream and wail as if I am offering her poison in the bottle. At first, I thought it was due to the frozen milk, that perhaps she may not like the smell etc. Then when I offered her refrigerated EBM, it yield the same response from her as well.
Has any mummy experienced this before? What did you do to get your baby to drink from the bottle again?
 
Hi Sam
Infact i do met up with many helpful taxi drivers which helped me to carry strollers and even open n close the strollers for me..

They are also earning a living ma...Not ALL taxi drivers are like tat la..
happy.gif
 
jowinbaby ..

lol. ya la .. i know
happy.gif
just making generalizations .. I've encountered quite a number of unhelpful ones ... must be my bad luck .. sigh.

I know they are earning a living and I don't begrudge them that .. but they can try to be better human beings and help a mother with her stroller right? Do you need a degree or an MBA to have that kind of common sense and some decency??
 
Ya la.. for those who dun help mothers or even old women with heavy things.. deserve to be condemn ....

Sometimes people with MBA are worst and do not even have basic courtesy...
 
sam
simply hate cab drivers when im out wif bb. don lift a finger to help at all.

now i hav d car wif mi most of d time so i juz place bb in car seat while i kip d stroller. hehe.

laval
my boi used to drink happily from avent bottles. afta he got admitted to hosp for uti, he refused to drink from it. tried for a wk so end up no choice, i buy nuk prenium bottle n he drank. mayb coz nuk teat like his tutu so he prefers it more. so more money spent on buying him a new set of bottles. haiz. babies!!
 
mummies,
any of your bb's bcg jab is protruding and looks like it has pus? wonder if i shd bring bb to see doc...

also, anyone's bb still suffering from rash? my bb's face rash was really bad that time, cleared up and now it's showing again...

laval
i'm tbf these few days and my bb oso showing signs of refusing the bottle. he will scream and struggle and i have to keep trying. it's very frustrating esp in the middle of the nite...in the end, what i do is i bf him for a little while, then stop him and stuff the bottle to him again. he will struggle a bit then finally give in. not sure if it'll work for you though...
 
laval, my baby is like urs as well.. is because he is used to latching liao. What i did was let him cry..haha. When he is truly hungry he has no choice but to drink. One day he will fuss twice, first bottled feed and first FM feed ...haha
 
baby refusing bottle
From what i've read, babies who are on total latch may refuse being bottle-fed by you because they want to latch on. The solution to this could be for someone else to try bottle feeding your baby, to see if they'll accept the bottle.
 
chantalle, i guess i seldom meet nice taxi drivers..when i was preggy n was in a taxi, he suddenly jam braked and i nearly fell down..haha and soemtimes they are super tired yet still wanna drive, then keep nodding off..
 
dbaby,
in 'normal' cases, the bcg spot is supposed to protrude out. supposed to happen when baby is around 6wo if i'm not mistaken. no need to worry about it, just keep clean as per normal. try not to press on it though, just in case it is painful for baby
 


heh, managed to do a bit of shopping todae at vivo. aiyo, used to splurge on myself, now find myself so niao.. rather spend e $ buying thgs for my boy rather than for myself.. becoming so auntie! =@

& oh, my boy enjoyed e swimming at hwa xia so much I took e 5sessions package too! but he's so tired now, keep wanting to be carried even while zzz..

dbaby, e hospital nurses told me it's normal for the jab to be red with pus. dun apply any cream. just keep dry. it will 'burst' n go off by itself de... I didnt monitor my boy's butt much, only just realised last week when massaging him that the jab is now a flat red mark
