(2008/12) December 2008 MTBs

Snowger/bubble,
Friday tink i shd be able to go..wat time? MSN then we decided k..then at the same time can go n kai kai too..

The following monday,I will start to put my darling with her nanny le..am praying hard the nanny will sayang her..tink im going to miss her alot..hw come time past so fast de n Im returning to work liao?? haiz..sian..
 


merydith,
i oso want to know if it's ok to dye hair or not for breastfeeding mum coz i got lot of white hair... so ugly!
still thinking how to go & dye without letting my hubby know coz he sure disagree one, but he has to know coz he has to look after our boy if i'm going...

slimming down
feel so 自卑 when seeing most of the mummies (in the gathering) so slim after giving birth... although i almost went back to pre-preg weight but it's 2nd pre-preg weight lor, if wan to go back to 1st pre-preg weight still long long way to go... wat to do, i put on weight very easily & in the same time, i juz luv food!!!
 
snowger,
thkx. hope the milk is ok.

I JUST ACCIDENTALLY KNOCK DOWN 70ML OF BM!!!!!!
my hard work for an hour.. sob sob... ss already very low liao, 6 hour after las pump, jus got 125ml, and i spilled more than half....
 
gals
how many hrs does our baby need to sleep now.. how come my ger always so sleepy n fussing to sleep always... she sleeping on n off for the whole day already
 
good question Jo, Zach sleeps like 15minutes each time onie.. he is really playful nowadays but in the morning he wakes up at 9.30am for his feed then sleep till 11am for his bath and then play till 1plus for his next feed then his 15minutes nap began!!

Arrggh..I oso wanna go on Friday, less crowd but hb say wait for him wor to go n Saturday. sian!

Jes, of course i can go compass point for lunch, me oso is a shopaholic mummy. Juz got back from Vivo not too long ago, brought Zach to Toys'R'us and he is so excited looking at those toys cos it is colorful.. daddy promise him that when he is old enuf, any toy he want he will buy! Faintz..my house realy can become part time nursery leh..

that playgym that fabbie refers to was bought from isetan durng their baby fair. $99
 
jo,
same like ur gal lor, always sleep on & off, nowadays very hard to get him sleep thru half an hr coz he normally nap for 10-15mins only, he sleeps lesser also mean i got lesser time to do housework lor, bought the swing for him also not much help, wasting my money nia... now regret!

kath,
ask ur hubby to buy the whole toysRus for Zach laa... hehe! mine is the other way round, my hubby wont buy toys for his sons one, normally i'm the one who 'auto' buy for them...

can i ask... u all wont feel xian ah when talking to ur baby coz talking to them is only one way communication, talk for a while only then i start to feel boring already... haha! i'm not a good mother...

btw, i realised that i really need a sling/carrier for standby if going out with both my sons coz my elder one sometimes will 'snatch' his didi's stroller... if he feels sleepy we hav to let him sleep (coz none of us wan to carry 17kg boy), i rather to carry Daniell but can't carry with bare hand for too long coz will tired... i've ordered the balboa sling hope Daniell will like it, thanks Xiah Pooh for letting me to try hers yesterday!
 
Snowger/Iemiko,
ya.. it is soooo embarassing to have to change sizes, especially uniform
sad.gif
am so envious of those who are able to get into their pre-preg clothes already.

hey, anyone going for slimming?? my preg fren proposed that we sign up together cos there's some buddy-buddy offer..? not sure what the deal is though...
 
gill,
no la, my elder one is coming to 4YO already, he is supposed to walk on his own, but sometimes if he's too sleepy or tired then he will ask us to take didi out from stroller & let him sleep... double stroller is bulky ler so not a good idea unless necessary for those who has very young children...
 
jo, my boy zz quite a fair bit leh.. sometimes 2-3hrs btw feeds.. thk takes after daddy mummy, coz we also like 2 koonz alot! muahaha

anyone has any cradle cap shampoo to recommend? olive oil method takes ages n nt v effective for my boy leh.. dunno itchy or wat, he keeps scratching till got scratch blood marks, n also pull hair till top part botak liao =(
 
hi cindy , kath & jes
my ger recently keeps on zzzzz .. on n off.. wake up, play awhile.. get tired n fuss.. stuff her pacifer.. she doze off.. faint!! I try not to give her sleep so much.. play with her.. she will fuss n cry all the way... rubbing her eyes, rubbing against my chest etc.. All these signs shows that she is sleepy...

If i DUN carry her in my arms, she can sleep for less than 10mins..once put down, cay.. imagine how she can fuss on n off

If i carry her in my arms, she can sleep for an hour

Today.. she slept from 3pm on and off till 9pm+..then wake up to play till almost 11:30pm..she doze back to sleep till now still zzzz...

I worry she sleep too much.. why so easy tired.. normally the interval of wake up time are so short

Hi jes
haha.. no worry.. u are not a bad mummy.. as its a one way communication only.. tats why it seem boring.. Me too.. but i still try to talk to her alot.. recently, she responded me always by smiling, cooing etc... so more n more not so bored liao..
 
wake up & pump again... but it's a good sign coz showing tat my boy is sleeping longer hrs at nite tat why i need to wake up & pump... last nite his last feed was 8.30pm & he slept until 4.45am then wake up for milk... first time stretching so long (8hrs) but i know it wont last one laa coz previously it happened before (sleep thru 7hrs) but then only last for 2 nites then back to 3-4 hourly liao...
 
hi jes
i think soon your boy will sleep thru..
happy.gif
My ger for 2 nights stretch longer hours instead of 8hrs..Now around 10hours. Her last feed at 10pm can last her till 8am. Usually i must feed her at 11pm, 12am or 1am.. then she can last thru till 8am. But actually is it good that they can stretch so long without milk? N i did not increase her milk intake at last feed. Normal at 110ml only.
 
wah, ur babies can zz such long stretches! my boy so far abt 5-6hrs nia.. still must feed in middle of nite. zzzz...
 
sighz.. anyone knows how to clear lumps at the nipple area?! mine so painful! i duno how sia.. i give my girl suck she like dun wan. she cry cus i long time didnt latch her and maybe that time my breast is empty liao. Its so pain that it makes me so mad so MAD!
 
finally log on.

emeraldbride - thanks for hosting.

jowinbaby - thanks for putting names into photo.

gill - don't worry, u r not only 1. i'm giving away 3 bags of my clothes & need to get more new clothes.
 
I really agree that babies cannot be praised juz like wat old ppl always say! Just last nite my hb was saying Zach is such a good boy, had his milk at 8.30pm and can sleep till 1.30am, keep it up. He woke up at 3.30am crying for milk then again at 5.30am for milk again! Faints.. hb so fed up wif his crying talked to him sternly to sleep, Zach turn to me n cry instead..haha. But i din feed him at 5.30am..let him sleep in his yao lan instead till juz now 8am. Hehe

Sad, i hv to cut away my nails..can onie start going for nail grooming after mid-March when I go back to work.. sigh!
 
jes,
Think maybe cannot tahan liao hhehe go highlight later..aiya me too ..love food..n now can eat more stuff liao haha..those food that was deprived earlier during preggy.

pacifier,
so envy ur baby can take pacifier..mine cries when I take out his fingers from the mouth..n most of the time he put his fingers in the mouth...so bz whole day putting his hand away..feel like putting his mittens back on
sad.gif


fabbie,
that time for me at the KKH there the nurse simply squeeze from the breast area towards the aerola and towards the nipple tip BUT very very pain...n then she roll roll the aerola/nipple area. Perhaps u wanna call the TMC ask-a nurse hotline?
 
kath,
true, babies cannot be praised one, if not they will 'chuk' pattern later...

merydith,
think i will go & dye only when i go back m'sia, cheaper bah & somemore my mum can help me look after my boy while i'm doing, & hubby wont know too... hehee
 
fabbie, the last time I had blocked ducts at the nipple area, the midwife at parentcraft also make baby latch on and suck until the blockage is cleared.
 
bb fair
so who's confirm gg on fri? can arrange a time den mit there. hehe.

jowin, mi oso not bringing bb. veri crowded. den if wan buy tings, hard to handle. =p

gill

Fabbie, really no other ways leh..

merydith

Jess
so you manage to get in the batch 1 for the balboa sling?
 
Oh dear...hmm latching on really unblocks faster wor. I guess must massage and roll like jowin and merydith say? Or go parentcraft, bring baby and ask the midwives for help?
 
Spadhetti
i shall give it till my time line till 28 feb! since 28 feb im going to TMC for jab. so maybe go parentcraft. haiz. will see how ba. but TMC sat dun open leh. wah sianz.. i hopefully hope these feel days of hard massage can really go off. damn sianz never had a nipple lump before! =(

my lump seems smaller at the nipple area. but then still not gone yet.. arghz
 
fabbie,
i emailed tat BP organiser & she said still ok to place so i placed order with her but since yesterday until now no response from her ler, ask her when can i get it also no reply, so i oso dunno if i manage to get batch 1 or not...

i'm going to bb fair coming fri, wanna stock up some GAIA stuff if there is really a good deal...
 
fabbie,

the BP organiser replied me liao, she said batch 1 stock should be arriving in 10days time...
i decided to get from the other BP instead but slightly ex coz the organiser has faster response... but was told the earliest i can get is early-mid Mar ler... sian ler coz i'm planning to go Cameron Highland in early Mar so i really need the sling coz worry tat tat place might be not so stroller-friendly... but if cannot get it on time then dunno how liao... or u mind to swop with me? hehee juz my thought only laa coz i know u also need the sling early....

Sleeping:
My baby drinks and stays awake for abt 1hr or so (from time she wakes for feed). After that if u continue to stimulate her, she will be pretty fustrated. So I put her to sleep and she will wake up only in time for next feed. Sometimes I gotta wake her up cos exceed by 1hr!
