Grace, Kris, jtho,
yah man, totally agree with you. AIG is tons better. ANyone except for NTUC motor. Jtho, it's just the motor arm that plays bastard on a regular basis
Yah have to give him support now. He is actually the youngest in the family. His elder bro is the only independent soul in the family but unfortunately he's not brought up to speed on this latest case because my FIL didn't dare to look for him when this thing got messy. He quietly came to my husband instead. Wah lao. My husband another one, thought he can try get a resolution first without disturbing his sibings. I quarrelled with him last week over that (OPPs!) cos I didn't think that was the smart way to handle a messy family issue.
Anyway, later have to go help him tidy up his docs plus help him re-draft his letters and reports lor.
It's just one of those things that reminds me of this - when we get married, we don't just marry the love of our life, we marry their entire family too!

jtho, yeah that's why I wanted to cap it at 20 pieces.
Grace,
wow that's realy tip top service. Worth paying more for.
Jasmin,
yah I know how to fix it, very easy. for the waist buckle straps
(1) remove the plastic catches/devices from the straps. So the straps are "naked" now
(2) Insert the "naked" straps, into the respective sides (left/right) of the cushioned belt through the thick seam. The cushioned belt should be in place by now, just use your hands to smooth out the belt area
(3) lastly, put the plastic catches/devices back onto the waist straps.
Basically, without the cushioned belt, the current pikkolo is to be worn apron style, buckled at natural waist. Support is at both shoulders mainly. Fine for small babies. Rem to cinch the bottom tight tight before hand. This is one of th ebest features of a pikkolo in fact, the cinching. So small babies don;t have to open their legs so wide.
With the cushioned belt, the carrier now has to be worn at the hips, and no long apron style. If you were at the gathering, you might have noticed how beco was worn? Yup, follow the same once you have the cushioned belt attached. The carrier body instantly becomes longer too, so it gives better (i.e. higher) back support to a young toddler who is of course, taller than bbs. Support is now distributed between shoulders AND hips.
Will road test it sometime this week.

i was just thinking what about we buy Sophie and post it back instead of bring them in our luggage? dunno how much will the postage be... maybe i'll check out when i'm there. if postage is not too ex, then maybe can buy 10 or 20 pieces and send to one person's addres, and split the postage. i understand that buying Sophie from Cora is only about 8 or 10 euros.

Teddy,
(not doing that now) but usually I have my laptop on my dining table, my brest friend pillow around my waist, and my bb latched on while her body is nicely settled on the pillow. I would support with one hand and type with the other.
Re: sleep position
I don't like it because BB has the tendancy to merlion. Increases the chance of backflow which can cause ear infections easily.
It's just not a natural eating position to me. I mean, I cannot drink lying down so I don't see how bbs can without eventually choking.

jasmin,
just take note that because it is no longer worn apron style, when you put the plastic devices back it should be facing a diff way. Ahhhh very hard to explain this. But you will know what I mean when you put it on beco style. heheheh I made the mistake myself at first.

I'm not too keen on posting the Sophies back to SG as French postal system is quite inefficient. Not sure what experiences you have had with them, but mine haven't been favourable at all.(I am ok with this company though as they will send to me by courier, signed for). Plus we will almost def incur GST that way.
I am not sure how much airmail will cost as well. It may add up to same amount as where I am getting it from.
But if you want to organise getting from Cora and mailing it back, you're welcome to. I can't though as I will be there for few days only - it's too troublesome for me.

hmmm hopefully when my bb wakes up in a while I can try to swing her back to the correct sequence of EASY.
Will try it again until it works! Hopefully I can make her take a full feed plus be hard hearted enough to refuse letting her snack/comfort suck. Oooooohhh bet it's going to be crazy day for me.

Alfalfa,
I understand what you mean cos my ILs are the same.. they are very dependent on each other.
even a simple dinner out of home will require major logistics to ensure that all are fetched to go to one destination even if it takes driving across the island to and fro. my ILs will not take public transport to meet halfway.
I also damn sian..

alfafa, I managed to balance her using only the Breast Friend... did it wrongly initially that's why she was not latching on properly. But now, I found a comfortable position for both of us such that she latches on comfortably and I have 2 hands free. Hmm, maybe I need to take a picture!

Sleeping habits:
My bb is also like urs. ESA type. But I heck care lah.. so far he can sleep for 6 hrs straight although praying hard hard for him to sleep from 9 - 7 am. Haha..
pumpkin, jtho,
My bb loves the swing and rocker too.. I hope it wont be a habit that is too difficult to break later on.

ya, having lots of milk can also be problematic, but I guess its a nice problem to have
Now everywk, I pass many packs of frozen EBM to my nephew
Alfafa: Thanks for sharing. Oh I din know sleeping position increases tendancy to merlion. He used to be ok with this position until last 1-2 wks
Pumpkin,

teddy,
for nursing on sleeping position, maybe wait for a few weeks before trying again. my #1 and #2 also merlion when nursed lidat. but once #1 is older, she's ok on the sleeping position. in fact, that's the best position when they get heavier n it becomes difficult to carry them to nurse.

Today is an awful day for me. Dunno wat I ate yesterday. Kept having the runs since yesterday night. Vomitted twice and now running a slight temp. Hubby is not in town somemore. Im so scared to carry my bb, just in case.. Aiyahhh got to go toilet again..
tusk,
No, i did not take any fenugreek. In fact, I still took alot of dang gui during my confinement, which many ppl says not gd for MS.
Pumpkin,
Oh wow, if u don mind, can take a pic of how u BF her on nursing pillow with 2 hands free and email me? I pm u my email. Thanks!
st,
I TBF BB during hospital stay. I think he got some of my colostrum cos can see white stuff from his mouth after his feed. Anyway, they have reserves when they are born and their stomach is very very tiny

teddybaby hahah ok but will have to wait til someone can take a pic for me.
By the way, to all those who are b-feeding, be careful not to eat too much of any one item. Like what happened to alfafa and Grace... I had a similar problem, except mine was lemon juice, orange juice and grapefruit juice. Too much citrus. Caused my poor girl to have diarrhoea. She was crying at every poo

st,
your BB shld be 2 mths now, can't be catch the cold in hospital then then now like that. Maybe check with PD.
Actually, I can't remember how long he latch at hospital liao cos like things happen in a daze as I was c-sec. Like u, I din have any LC coming in to help until like on the 3rd day cos weekend they not ard. I was struggling on my own esp at nite as hubby not ard too and once nurses help u to latch on, they will go off. When BB unlatched accidentally, & I cant latch hin back gotta press for nurse to come help. But right now, I only latch him on one breast at a time so he get the hindmilk

i know wat u mean about the inefficiency of the French postal system. and yes, like wat u said it will probably end up more ex if we send back by airmail... well, i guess mummies who want Sophie but not in time this round, will have to wait for Pumpkin's next trip. or if i am able to squeeze in somemore into my luggage when i come back, i will come online to see who still want...

lenny, if the workshop is next week, are you still coming?
Whoever is coming to the sleep workshop can pass me payment for the Sophies then.
jtho, my 'best' experience with the French postal system was when I went to Vietnam. Sent a postcard to our friend from there. She received it only after she came back to Singapore for a visit and saw all our vacation pics already. I think that was 1.5 months after we sent it. Really couldn't believe it. I think we will tear our hair out living there, especially as we are pampered with how efficiently most things in S'pore work.
