hmmn i wouldn't dare travel now coz of worries. might be pananoid but i tink the H1N1 situation in europe is not too stable now so wouldn't want to go esp the time need to spent in the aircraft. guess final decision has to be made jointly by yourself and hubby in consensus so that no one is unhappy. if still hv time, just monitor and decide later. watever, be careful and all the best!

you too, be careful and all the best on your flight!
<font color="ff0000">re. blocked ducts</font>
still getting this, either if i dun pump by 5 hours or for watever other unknown reason
how long i can bf will depends on this situation. imagine how difficult it is to deal with blocked ducts after bk to work n unable to pump on time!
<font color="ff0000">irene,</font>
i'm tking the health supplement "lecithin" to help prevent blocked ducts. almost for 2 wks liao, not really sure if it helps but my situation of getting blocked ducts did decrease in freq fm 2-3 times a wk till once every wk for these past 2 wks. but i hv also been latching on more freq so not sure if it's lecithin helping or not. understand that moomooland is also tking dis. maybe you can try?
<font color="ff0000">re. tbf</font>
mummies on tbf and latch on, how freq do your bbs need to drink after latch? my little boy like hungry very fast, after 30mins to an hour would need to drink again and sometimes not enuff bm for him liao. i can only yield 120-150 ml if pump every 4-5 hrs. is supplementing with fm else he'll be hungry.
<font color="ff0000">re. bb update</font>
hee my little boy has started to recognise ppl from 7 wks and will smile at me every morn. it's such a wonderful feeling to see his smile. guess dis is really wat gives us mummies motivation and power hee. he's quite a quick tempered one and very impatient. haha give him milk too slowly, he'll cry so loud and even after given, can hear him "complaining" while he drinks.
sad thing for mummy is he refused to sit in any of the carriers i bot for him. ergo carrier, the infant insert prob too hot for him, he hates and refused to be swaddled in that. balboa sling, he refused to go in as need him to bend his legs to put him in. he just luvs to keep his legs straight and despite trying and trying, i just can't get him in even with hb's help. sign..was hoping he'll take to one of them so that i can bring him out on my own. no such chance liao...and i hv no idea how i can bring him out now, how to hand carry and bring diaper bag at same time alone??
bb is coming to 8wks (another day's time)! and is almost 6kg or 6kg+ liao. hee i measure his weight by carrying him and weighing on my bathroom scales then weighing just myself to subtract so only a rough guage. am happy he's putting on weight but kinda worried how to carry him for long coz already getting backaches and arm cramps sometimes from cuddling him for long periods. and my little boy just refused to sleep or be left alone. he'll cry really pathetically and loudly until attended to. so has been cuddling him like for up to 8 hrs a day including thru his afternoon nap, that is if i want him to sleep. once put down, he'll wake up for sure and then get really cranky and frustrated from being unable to sleep, it's kind of heartache to watch. you know bb want to sleep, he keeps yawning and rubbing his eyes, but he just can't until cuddled and rocked in someone's arms. hopes all these behaviours will change after he's 3 mths old else my mil will hv difficulty helping look after when i go back to work and poor bb will be very frustrated and cranky at night when we fetch him. noticed that if he doesn't get to sleep in afternoon, he has hard time sleeping at night, needs rocking for more than 3 hrs to sleep. if he's well rested, he sleeps easier, abt 1-1.5 hrs spent to get him to sleep only. dun know if this is colic but i stopped giving him ridwind drops coz dun tink it's really helping anyway.
<font color="ff0000">re. gathering</font>
luv to join you all but i hv no idea how to bring bb out on my own since he wun sit in any of the carrier i got. sigh..prob later when he's 4 mths or older and can try sitting up then i'll try him in the carrier again...
