lipstar thanks!
jtho, I e-mailed her
Sleep workshop:
- would you girls mind having the workshop at my condo function room? We could also do it at someone else's condo function room or home. I think we can organise the talk with lunch for around $25 per person.
- PM me what sort of focus you'd like the talk to have. I'm thinking that setting sleep routines, how to re-adjust from vacation sleep patterns and then Q&A would be good for our age group babies.

Alfafa- I have 2 books by tracy hoggs.1st- Secrets of the baby whisperer and 2nd- The baby whisperer solves all your problems. The 2nd bk is better as it is more structured and more organised. With her routine, she recommends a 3/4hr gap in feeding and 2hr gaps in the evenings.Last feed around 10/11pm. Tried the method on my son this wk and so far he only wakes up once in the wee hrs. I can swop the first bk with you if you want to have an idea of what she advocates before if deciding if you want to buy the 2nd bk.
I'm still struggling to get him to take naps and sleep early at night.Dunno why he has so much energy and refuse to sleep despite all my efforts in humouring him.

Grace, sure! But not sure what time I will be home from the gathering. Shall I call you when I arrive at home? What time were you thinking of? Also, is it fine that I top up your purchase to get the legwarmers for myself?

Oh no, I patted A to sleep just now. Really gotta find out how to get baby to soothe themselves to sleep unassisted. I can't imagine carrying and patting her to sleep when she gets heavier.
Pumpkin Seed
ya, it's horrible to have to carry n pat baby to sleep everyday... especially when Oli is heavier than a sag of rice... last night he was crying no stop, then hubby got so frustrated and instructed me not to touch him, let him carry on crying in his cot... and after about 3 mins, he fell asleep himself and slept till this morning 7 plus.

alfafa, starflower and missycandy, do you mind if I do a bank transfer for the respective payments? (CB cream, bottle rack and lunch) I haven't had time to pop by the ATM to draw out extra cash. Have to pay for the Beco and legwarmers for someone who is not coming. If there is one near Sassybaby's place, I will run out and get cash.

here's a thread about sleep training and how successful SMH mums have been with the various methods:
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/2052338/2316865.html?1241686014
Please post your preferred date for the sleep training workshop and topics you would like covered.
Tentively next Wed lunch time? Cost would be $25-30 including lunch (9 types of food plus drinks catered and cleared up, maybe can even dabao some home he he) and Tammy's fee. Need min 20 mums to make it work though so maybe we can open it to Feb-April mums?

Re pain using Medela PIS
I went to LC at TMC and LC said my nipple crack and aerola pain due to pumping for too long at a stretch. She said for medela PIS, pump max 15min. I've been pumping abt 30-40mins each time, partly becos of high MS and also becos one side is much slower than the other side. And that is the side that ganna crack. She said to the crack due to pumping too long using 24mm and the aerola red & soreness due to pumping too long using 30mm breastshield. Advised me to apply nipple cream b4 & after pumping. Also to massage breast b4 pumping, esp the side that is slower
alfafa, prosper,
The tube bras u all buy from tom & stephanie padded? Can provide sufficient support for C cup?
Pups,
like wise for the spag tube bras..padded and can have gd support for c-cup?
St,
I'm using wide neck teats. Not sure if its better than norm. But I do know that Avent teats supposedly more like our nipples, so BB won't get confusion easily.
Anyone using pigeon wide neck bottles and also latching on? Will BB get nipple confusion? I have pigeon ones that came free with the sterilizer. The bottles are bigger and I maybe needing them soon as BB likely to drink 5 oz very soon.
How to make BB sleep longer
Mummies may wanna try letting your BB sleep on stomach. I tried that for over a wk and my BB can sleep more than 3hrs in a stretch during day time. He can sleep so well that we usually have to be the ones waking him up for feeds! Prior, he at most sleep 1 hr (consider very gd liao) and then drink on 2 hrly basis. Becos they are lying on the stomach, they don get startled so easily. Checked with PD, said its ok for my boy to sleep in this position liao cos his neck is strong. He was 6 wks old then. But to be on the safe side, I still go can check on him whenever I'm free to make sure his nose not blocked. Nite time I let him sleep on back.
Mummies at the gathering, enjoy! Sounds so fun, wish I'm more confident to bring BB out alone

Sleep Training Workshop
- Pumpkinseed, i'm keen
But wondering if daddies can attend too? As for the topics, i don't really have anything particular in mind cos my boy has been quite easy in this aspect (fingers crossed!), maybe just how and when can we start to train baby to sleep through the night.
- Pumpkinseed, i'm keen
Hi all,
Am in US now with bb.. The flight was really terrible, my bb cant sleep without space to stretch (bassinet was too narrow for her liking, seat was too curved for her liking, haiz) so she cant sleep = 1 cant sleep as well... so imagine for 24 hrs, my bb only slept in my arms for at most 4 hrs in total. I reached home here, put bb in my hb's arms, told him to wake me up for feed and KO for quite a while. Haiz.. terrible terrible
ANd my bb was terribly cranky from the lack of sleep. Now struggling very badly cos bb got jet lag.. the time difference + new environment is really causing her a lot of stress.. so back to sleepless nites for me again... haiz again..
Oh yah.. bb was amilk monster in the flight, cos she got nothing to do and cant sleep, keep crying for milk.. super duper jia lat.

Tot it's his colic but dun seem to be coz feed him gripe water and apply ruyi oil still like dat... This applies to day n night feed. So lost trying to feed him. Anyone encounter the same thing as me?

Asura,
oh dear! hopefully your husband is on leave and can take care of the baby while you recover from jetlag. For thr return flight perhaps you can explore getting some drowsy medicine for the baby from a pd there? cos when my baby was acting up immediately after the CL left, the pd issued me with some medicine which he said will make the baby sleepy but he did say to give only during duress (i.e. the parents!); we didn't succumb to it in the end but it was comforting to have it on hand for standby cos we were really zombied from the lack of sleep.
