Ida,
Any idea if the pupsik nursing cover is as big and long as Obuba?
 
i dun dare to eat so many...actually i dun intend to eat one.. but becos tat time having fever, suddenly my ss drop, so i scared my ms will drop. then i quickly took it for few days
then a few days later, my ss back to normal so i dun know is it due to the pills or just my ss back to normal

Ida, yes i found a silvery dress. very pretty! I would like the anthracite colour for the nursing poncho please.


Anyone else who has not registered for the Sleep Workhop but wants to attend, please PM me before I open it to the Feb and Apri mummies.
 
Can't remember who was saying they had problem with bottles but you may want to try changing the size of your teat. Baby A kept fussing when being bottle fed. Realised eventually that she just wanted a faster flow.
 
candace: jean coming back only on 21June. mummybean gg back work 22 June. hehe me 29june, haiz.

prosper:: yes yes IMM. so you, me, candace, and mummybean okies?

vernice:: maxicosi i think i bought 400plus and combi i bought 300plus. don't remember the correct amt. Can call up the cheong choon store at chinatown to ask them offer you best price. Frankly the maxicosi is a better investment, it's from 4mth old onwards. but it is VERY HEAVY. combi is VERY light and yes nb can sit liao. Both up to 4yr old.
 
<font color="ff0000">cindy</font> - hmm..maxicosi is only from 4mths onwards ah? hmmm...then how ah? my boy now only 2mths
 
It's been very difficult to put my boy to sleep these 2 days. He was pretty alright b4 that and usually takes about 10 - 15 mins of rocking, he will sleep. But these 2 days, it takes 2 hrs to put him to bed! Help!
 
jo - cld be a phase... u might wan to try what ive read some of wad the other mummies do.. that is to let bb cry... dun carry... jus pat... every 5-10mins go in the room... pat him... let him knw u r there.. hmmm... anything happened to trigger this? hw old is ur bb nw ah?
 
cindy - ooo... okie.. my counting haywired.. LOLOL...

other mummies are welcome to join cindy, mummybean, prosper &amp; myself @ IMM on 1st june. =)
 
missycandy,

Thx.. but i tried the cry it out method yesterday and sadly, I "lost" He really cry for near an hour! My hubby says I steel-heart. Anyway failed badly coz' now he will "complain" once I placed him in the cot. He's 2 months exactly today.
 
Pei
Ya, can meet at MRT station. I will be at redhill/city hall at abt 1pm. Where do you stay? We can always meet somewhere more convenient this week cause I'm going back to work 1 June
 
Jo
2 months baby is like that, he's going through a phase now. My boy was also the same from Wk 6-8. Just have to carry &amp; comfort him. My boy only learnt to soothe himself to sleep aft Wk 9.
 
hoho/lenny,

i try bfing n fming since confinement period...this is wat i noticed...

confinement ~ more EBM/less BF/1 - 2 feed of FM
2nd mth ~ More BF/less EBM/1 - 2 feed of FM

Result ~ when i hav e time/mood to do EBM, he refuses @ all costs...scream n yell as if i torture him...

FM ~ given 1-2 times a day before evening, nite its BF all e way...scared his tum tum cant digest cow's milk well n kena wind in his stomach...yeh...actually hav e miracle drug 'gastrogel' to relieve him...he will cry until no voice if ignored...

Conclusion...tink my pumps gonna b on vacation liao...tried twice n he gives me same result...! But like wat meerkat says, mayb they smell u n so, they refuse to drink frm teat lor...nothing beats warm/soft nipples yar...
happy.gif


NURSING ON E GO...yes, itz a liberated feeling but those w solid good ms...u r blessed. For those not, u need to feed a few times or even more frequently...frankly speaking, e switching left/right action is making my hands n joints ache...

Mdm Rokiah...she sounds like a miracle worker...i oso curious over if my ms is maximized...alfafa has a wonderful sense of humour...
happy.gif


Last but not least, on us who r bf n fm hand in hand, i tink as bb grows, he is more sensitive to the taste n sensation of teats/nipples...they noe e difference so don expect them to b like initial new born, blur blur n not selective...so guess we need to make a decision on whether to bf/ebm or fm...otherwise there will b lots of frustration for both caregivers...bbs.

In short...if u believe in breast milk, go BF/EBM all e way...dun intro FM.
If u need someone else to take care of bb, wean gradually n stick to FM...if we wan e best of both worlds...convenience + nutrients frm BF...it wont b so easy...bbs nowadays ultra smart...u jus cant fool them...
happy.gif
 
thks for those who share on FM they try on w their bbs...in e end, i bought similac n fingers crossed, bb does not reject so far...today he has no need to drink e gastrogel yet, so i hope this is a good start to his stomach devt...e gastrogel not cheap leh...got frm pd...1/2 a mini bottle costs $5...runs out like 5-8 feeds...
happy.gif


Jus another thot on weaning...for SAHM...going BF sure helps ur kids to b healthier...we who go back to work hav to work harder on this n wean bb to FM...so invariably we spend more on milk powder...tough choice eh...
happy.gif


Gatherings...enjoy urselves b4 work starts...my galfrien was so affected tat she cried on her 1st day back to work...
 
jo - then like what jasmin says cld be a phase... kirsten was also like that... wld cry and wan to be carried.. so i jus carry n sayang her... i also think its a phase... guess they jus need the security... now im stil at home... i cn still do it.. when back to work, wont have as much time as i wld like to be with her le.. =( so while u can, sayang him ba.. i dun think at this stage will spoil them de... it helps to build their confidence =)
 
hihi! can i have mdm rokiah's number too? my supply seems to be dwindling too.. dunno if it's due to blocked ducts. thanks!

alfafa
you're really humourous in your description. glad you're better.


I was 'tortured' by my girl last night! she woke up at every hour for feeds and couldn't settle for the night. hope she'll be better tonight. "pray"
 
missycandy - actually.. Dunno whether need this fenugreek or not.. But just trying see if can helop.. Actually my freezer running out of space liao since my boy latches as well
kome - thanks
pumpkin .. Isit.. Must post her pics in the dress then… btw the color u wanted is OOS - what is the alternative color u want?
vivien - peony for u ok since anthracite is OOS
sassy - u take what kind of pills? Work or not? Btw thank u again for allowing my kiddos to come over
tuskywollie - happened to me when I had to leave b3 too last year - so sad man
happy.gif
-it will sure happen again this year for b4
 
btw mummies… she will be sending the ponchos to me directly and I will post out for u .. Coz u know what.. She is charging extra $3 for envelope n postage .. I tink most to most should be only $1.50 for postage rite and since I have my company envelopes w me.. the big ones... i will mail them out myself unless i m meeting the mummies during gatherings /etc.. so transfer me just the $20 1st... i go get the poncho weighed and update mummies again.. can... dun want them to earn unecessary frm postage.. will gladly do it myself for cheaper..
happy.gif

hahah so you guys like my description of my milk bath this morning ah? hehe go try it if you haven't. Too bad my hubby was not there, if not his jaw would surely drop. Was describing to him over the phone how I had milk spurting out in about 8 different directions and his only response was ... "siao liao. Mop the floor quickly can?"

Chey. Anti climax.
 
think still feeling a litte woozy, headaches still come on and off but am generally fine.

Ida,

thanks for compiling the order. Her promo says $20 for 5 pieces. Since we are ordering so many, any chance that she can mail us direct but waive the postal cost? Maybe drop her a quick mail to check? Then we can all get it much faster. heeeeeeee Just a thought. If too troublesome then no worries, just go ahead. Many thanks as it is.
 
errr .... don't think she would mind me posting her contact no here in public forum since it is on her business card

Madam Rokiah
92716091

good to have her no handy cos you never know man. She had clients who needed her help even after their little one is 12 months or even 18mths old. Basically as long as one is still nursing. Damn gross man. My ex colleague told me that her mastitis episode was so bad that she ended up going to the breast specialist to have holes drilled into her breasts. SO GROSS!
 
pumpkin,
send me the world of korea price list, pretty pls =)

re: carseat

hubby is always dreaming of ferraris. So he die die wanted to get the ferrari convertible car seat for baby. Suitable for babies right through to about 4 years old. The cushion is super thick and comfortable. Looks really stable too. But baby is not taking too kindly to it so far. :p

But the daddy is damn happy lah. He says "ferrari leh" and everything else is negligible.
 
btw babes
I keep seeing videos of your buds on FB. I want to post up some too, esp the one I took at Sassy's place. How on earth do you guys post up videos on FB?
 
wow alfafa did yr skin get smoother after the milk bath? hehehe...u so funny la....ya guys are anti-climax sometimes...they are more rigid in that sense i feel...oops...ya i tink i will engage mdm rokiah to check if i have any blocked ducts since my breasts sorta hurt when i pressed on them? besides i got a bad 10 hours engorgement this morning...dunno whether that was the one that caused my breast pains now...

ida - hey thanks for compiling and arranging...actually i dun mind collecting from u since we both live in SK, if she can't waive the charges that is...
 
alfafa - hazel. do drink more fluids to keep urself hydrated. all nursing mums shld be drinking at least 2L of fluids a day. =) plus the weather is really HOTtttt! these past few days! do drink more! n take care!

uploading vids to FB - there is an option to upload. =) jus like uploading photos. cn upload vids too.
 
alfafa, my friend has the same thing doen to her too unfortunately. Had to drill a hole and then go back to hospital every 2-3 days to drain out the fluids. She was still nursing throughout as well, ow...The poor thing!
 


hi pinksorbet,
