I think you yourself know best what method to use to sleep train bb, because every bb is different - some methods work better than others, sometimes the methods need a bit of modification to fit your own bb, and some bbs younger than 3 or 6 mths do respond excellently to crying it out - mine for eg. Whatever the method, it will require a tremendous amount of patience because you dunno how long it is going to take - any time from a day to a week or maybe more, and u definitely need support from other family members too to see through the training. Remember to start as early as possible because the older bb is the more difficult it is going to be. Good luck!
Queenie - cindy still tryin to psycho her hubby to let her go on friday... Cindy.. if all else fails... try body language.. LOL =x
btw, swim diapers... the minimart downstairs doesnt sell S size.. only M & L which is too big for our lil ones... i do however have 10pcs... my frn sold to me.. becos her bb hardly uses it.. so i will bring it to the gathering... see who wans ? i think maybe we all use 1 pc each? so dont have to buy new pack? what say ya'l ? i knw alfafa wans, starflower, myself and daphne... so 6 more pcs...

RE: Baby Carrier
I bought a cheap cheap carrier, Brand: Infantino , Model: Easy Rider http://www.infantino.com/Carriers/Easy_Rider_Carrier.php
It is a 2-in-1 face-in and face-out carrier found at CompassPoint Kiddy Palace. UP $59, bought at offer price $39
My review is, it is not good enough when baby's neck is not strong enough; I shall try using it more when baby neck more stable. I bought it because I'm having wrist pain problem since confinement period till now
So, buy a cheap carrier to release hand from weight pressure whenever need to carry baby to "walk" around at home (whileas when outside prefer use stroller).
<font color="ff0000">OG now got 20% storewide* SALE!!!</font>
I think OG selling BABYBJORN carrier. I think shall be going down to have a look on baby stuffs...
Queenie
Haha.....ya....understand lar, the things that we had brought might be useful might not be useful also. Somemore some of it are quite exp. I lied to my mum that the dreambag is actually a gift from hubby's colleague, if not i think my mum can nag me for almost a week esp if she know the price. Actually the dreambag is quite worth it. My mum always bring it along when we go to NTUC shopping and Anver feel quite warm inside also. Youu want me to bring it to the gathering and let you see?
Kome
haha. ya lor. but i don wan lie to hb or mom or my family abt the purchases i bought. coz i feel guilty. kekes.. will it be heavy for u to lug there? i tink is good for him coz i always slp in a/c room.. TIA
kekes. muz find reasons to justify all my needs n wants list. LOLS
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MUMMIES.....in advance.
for most of us its the 1st..others like cindy. pups and idaarshah...2nd and 4th.....
may we all have healthy and cute babies....
This Mothers' Day is very meaningful for me.. cos we are going for lunch together.. me, my bb, my mother and my grandmother.. so fun! I must remember to take photo this sun!
Irene
Yup, it is quite comfy. Heehee.....i use it when in shopping centre. What my mum do is inside wearing romper (material not very thick one) than when in shopping centre than we put him in the dreambag and place him on the stroller.
Just went to the sin seh to "tui na" my left wrist...he says new mums not enough sleep, (ya, max i had since delivery 3March was 5 hours...) so blood circulation no good and when he goes to the wrist and we exert to carry our babies, easily get sprained. Not sure true or not, but my bandaged wrist sure makes it hard to bath him...ouch
Oh i have a question, the picture of the carrier is like an X shape. this means baby's butt has nothing to support? the cloth clings to his thighs only?
Hi, I guess Ida ll be in soon meanwhile anyone keen just email me at [email protected]
Will be closing this weekend most probably on Sunday. Btw, there is a support at the buttock area eventhough its cross like style. Tks
Hi starflower,
My EYS doc also said my wrist pain is due to poor blood circulation and get worst when carry baby. Now, taking chinese medicine but still pain leh... I used to bath baby myself but since wrist pain started last mth, have to let my mum help to bath my baby.
mu left wrist also painful. think one of the reason is cos the drip needle is inserted at my wrist. the anaesthetist told me my veins are too fine so no choice..
and to make situation worse. i am carrying Brianne a lot.. so my wrist hurts a lot. I just bought a wrist support. hope it helps
Hi Lenny,
Instead of wrist support, I used to wear my RollerBlade wrist guard so that it prevent me bend my wrist. But after awhile found wearing it troublesome esp when need to carry baby or do housework.
RE: Sling
I have a MIM sling and so far only used it at home as a walking sarong to soothe baby to sleep. Hee...
RE: Maclaren Stroller Guardrail
I'm using Maclaren Techno XT to bring my baby out (since birth) and even at home (to push her around for "joy ride" as well as afternoon nap).
FYI, if you like to have <font color="0000ff">Guardrail</font> for your Maclaren stroller, you can purchase the Removable Guardrail from Mothercare. I've bought one at $39.90 as it doesn't come with stroller purchase. And my mum kept asking me why I didn't get a stroller with a guard rail infront so that baby can "rest" legs on the rail as well as can hold on to the rail when in the stroller.
Hey Idlecat & Lenny, think i recall another mummy suffering from sprained wrist so that makes 4 of us :s the wrist support is a good idea, think i'll head out to guardian tmr to get one...totally bandaged up now and washing bottles, etc keep wetting the bandage...think not so good... the sin seh say at least 1 week...oh dear....so painful...
Oh a more cheerful note, i wanna wish everybody Happy Mother's Day
It's my first one, hehee rather strange feeling...somehow i haven't really associated myself with the occasion yet Asura, i'm sure yours will be very fun w mum & grandma
think i should have emailed everyone who asked for the cards except
pinkdemoness, queenie,
yo babes i need your email addys. pm me.
my left wrist has been hurting since my last trimester. started when i used my hands to support my heavy weight while shifting/gettin in/out of bed. After delivery it got even worse due to the drip needle and subsequently all that carrying of bb from all kinds of positions and heights. Been thinking of going to my cousin who is a chinese chiropracter.
Lenny,
what is a wrist support? does it help so far? I think I need one.
Queenie,
alamak I just paid for 8 sets already with 10% discount and a free huggalugs arm and leg warmer (she's selling $24 each) for every carrier. The latter is their mother's day promotion but is typically not available with discounted items. But then ... we bought 8 sets at one go leh. And it's a windfall for her because there was zero salesmanship needed. Poor hy, the original bp organiser. Feel so bad for her. All her time and effort spent answering my queries.
I collected 4 sets, the 4 sets the rest of them are self-collecting. Wow paradise is also nice man. Good choice
