Nursing room:

Tangling mall- basic, decent deco has 2 seperate rooms w door for private bfeeding. Has hot water, regular sink and basic changing table. Spaciuos enough for 4-5 strollers in it.

think my medela is a bit noisier than usual. If there's something wrong with it, is there a telephone number to call and check? or send in for servicing or something? Man, i wouldn't know what to do if it konks out in bali? and with no baby around....unimaginable...
 
hi all.. been busy the past few days. wow. my left boob oso hard rock juz now. finally feel relieved after pumping it all out.

alfafa

Queenie, hope u feel better liao. Quickly get some sleep.

Alfafa, hugs. Hope all will be settled soon. So much for our most trusted home brand. Ntuc. Haha! Jia you on training bb grace! Hope she fares better today! Trishelle also likes to comfort suck, me now trying to latch her on punctually at 3hrly, at least 2hrly! But each time she latch, its pretty fast, I wonder if she has taken the full feed. Usually it is Like 1 side for 5to 10min, then done. and she's very stubborn. Don't want means don't want, stuff nipple in she will scream. So Hai. Oh ya, a little far for u, u wanna join us at jurong pt today? Hoho.

Jean, Lenny, Daphne, prosper, and etc, see u all later!

Missycandy, u better set alarm so u can come Haha. Hugs to u. Must really find a way to comfort kirsten! U got hang the sleep pants like I told u to ma? Hahahaha. Really, must try. My friend the other time hung 2 pairs for double power. Worked for her wo.. Hang until she turned 4mths. Jia you... Got put ru yi oil? Burp her in between feeds when she cry?

Mommies, miracle! Haha, last night bb Trishelle slept from 11pm to 6am!! Woo hoo! No feeds in between. Happiness. The last time she did this was last wk. Hope she can repeat this. But might be because she didn't sleep the whole day from 2pm to 11pm Haha. At most a 15min nap. the last time she could zzz through, also didn't zzz at all for the day time. Woo. Sometimes she zzz a lot, sometimes can go without sleep.. Haha. Hope she settles in soon!
Moms whose bb on Fm, how much and many hrly do u give bb? Thinking of intro Fm to her next wk liao Hoho. She's coming 3mths.
 
Alfafa,

for the EASY method, how long is the A suppose to be? My gal is always sleeping now.. day and nite... sometimes she refuses to sleep at nite.. so I am not getting enough sleep. Trying to train her back again but this time i wanna make is flexible so that when i come back to Singapore, it is easier to retrain her. My previous method was based on daylight and darkness.. something I wanna avoid cos daylight here is getting later and later. Plus when I get back to work, I wouldnt want her to sleep at 7 pm, prefer 9 pm so that i can interact with her a bit before she sleeps.. Else sound as if everyday I just bring bb home to sleep nia.
 
Pumpkinseed,

Do help me ask abt bb sleeping for time difference... Really tough.. I wish i could attend the sleep workshop. Startingwork a week after I return to Singapore, hopefully that's sufficient time for me to retrain bb!
 
Heh... I have finally got over my jet lag... Was so tired since i came here until i lost my appetite.. Lost 2 kg already within a week.. No mood to eat even when I am hungry.. sometimes i dream of getting food to eat but so tired that i am stuck in bed. Finally got over it yesterday and gain a bit of appetite.. and got down to unpacking my luggage stuff... plus planning for long weekend trip this week.. kekeke..

Unfortunately, bb is still not used to sleeping at nite, though she seems more settled now.. not so cranky liao.. I think me very unfortunate, my bb had growthspurt same time as my flight... her head seem to become bigger overnite when i arrive.. no wonder she was a milk monster in the flight!
 
pinkdemoness,

I bought my NAN 1 but haven;t opened it yet. i bought it to standby just in case i fall sick and cannot feed.

i will pass on this time, thanks!
 
Morning Mummies...

excited about later gathering... even Favian too..this morning woke up real early and seems so excited..ha..blabbering away...wondering subconsciously is he realising I am bringing him out to play...

Finally manage to take a smiley photo of him.. fortunately we have digicam in this era..cos I think I took like 20 shots to get one clear one..cannot imagine the previous era that use negatives..no wonder I don't have much baby pics...ha...

Those going to JP later, take a pic!!
And post on FB.

Anyone up for HV or Relish tomorrow?

Wheelock changing room is very basic (sink and change table)but it's clean and has 2 chairs for breastfeeding with small table in between. In future, if just 2 mummies going out, you can buy a drink and sit inside for a while.
 
Mummies, anyone has recommendation for a stroller that's easy to fold/unfold, lightweight etc.? I'm looking at Maclaren, Quinny. Thinking of using it when travelling and easy to handle singlehandedly.
 
Jazmin, MacClaren would be best as it's light and folds like an umbrella stroller. Quinny Zapp fold into this little rectangular thing and has only one recline. The other models are too bulky.
Personal opinion

PM me by the way, you don't receive PMs
 
Hi Jasmin,
I'm using Maclaren Techno XT Stroller. Personally I think 2008 model is heavy for me to "carry". It is good in term of got suspension and wheels smooth & easy to push around. Note default it doesn't come with guardrail.

You might want to look at Combi as they are usually small & light. I like the model which comes with "bicycle stand" to help park the pram.

My opinion only...

Oh haha. Cos I was lucky that my sis-in-law passed me her Avent manual and Medela mini Electric. Both did not work well for me. And then I tried PIS in TMC parentcraft. And I bought Medela swing.

Kat: Oh ya Medela mini electric is a bit noisy if noise level might be a concern for eg, if u need to pump with baby in the same room.

koala: Haha. Chloe looks so cute. same same. Sometimes my baby also sleeps with the mouth open big big.

Poo: My baby also poos green or yellow poo several times a day.

Irene: Wow. Envy. Your boy can sleep on his own in the cot.
2471580.gif


Wish a boy: Tks for the heads up abt the motherhood fair!

alfafa: Wah! Your hubby doesn't mind wearing your pretty flowery carrier?

missycandy: Lately my boy is also super cranky. Feed and change finish, still scream-cry with tears very often. Worse is he seems to cry more when hubby or I carry him. Seldom cry when maid carries him... *wipes a tear*
2471581.gif
 
mummybean, Favian is soooo cute!! i will miss him today cause i can't make it today. have to go make downpayment for #1's CC. childcare is so highly sought after today hahaa have to go make payment to secure a place for him. i am so sorry. Trishelle is upset too. sighs.

She says: Meet you all next time!
2471583.jpg


mummies in west, let's organise another JP meet next time when jean is back ok?

jasmin:: my thoughts same as idlecat's. I got a maclaren XT. no doubt i love it but it's too heavy for me i feel. heavy but very durable and easy to push around.

pumpkin, smsed you. hehe.

btw, who is gg to HV tmr? i might be able to go, i need to ask hubby again and if #1's schedule permits. Who should i call if i wanna turn up last min? muaahahaha.

Misscandy
re: Fussing with bottle teat
You might want to check if the teat hole is too small, cause my boy also fusses previously and we realised that it's because the teat hole is too small & he can't suck much milk out. Changed all his teats to stage 2 since week 5
 
mummies envy u gals that u all started to wear bra so early..i knew that need to wear so breast not sag but really feel more troublesome wearing bra to feed bb and my ma was telling me dun need to wear since i at home.

HV gathering:
20May Wed
anyone?
 
Alamak! My maid is ambidextrous. She can carry baby on either her left or right arm. Hubby and I are more comfortable with baby's head on our left arms. Now we have to follow maid's pattern.
2471687.gif


Yesterday hubby carried him on his right arm til he sprained his back.

I carry him on my right arm til my left thumb numb...
 
starflower and sunshine, you can add me at fb at [email protected]

starflower, ya marissa doesnt wakes up for feed at nite but her timing is still not stablize. Sometimes will wake up at 5 plus - 7 plus but she will drink and then fall right back to sleep and wake up 3 hrs later. Babywise method suggests that you should keep to a routine of feeding like every 3hrs. Tten use the Eat, activity(play), sleep method during the day. Means after feed in the day, you shd keep baby awake at least for a while to play and then allow her to sleep. For the last feed, you just feed and then let her sleep. The routine will probably takes some time to set in.

Scrumpee, just slowly increase baby's intake. My baby is now 13th week and at 8th week she was also just drinking 100ml. I also realise that as baby drinks more, i can stretch her drinking interval to 4hrs.

Tom will be bringing baby for her 5-in-1 jab, praying that she will not have fever.
 
alfafa, i'll go thru the website. the mei tai baby carrier looks nice.
you wanna get another carrier again? kekeke

Missycandy, how's your connecta, which design you bought? I still can't decide a connecta or Pikkolo or now the Mei Tai Baby.

MummyBean, Favian's smile is so sweet. till date, i have not capture Zac's smile on camera yet.
sad.gif


Cindy, Trishelle is so adorable.

st, ok. thanks a lot!
 
Wahaha, now I got a title here in Mar mummies forum :p

St,
don wear underwire bra. Not comfy & can cause blk ducts. I never wear underwire since mid part of pregnancy.

Re manual vs electric pump:
My cousin who used both Avent manual & Medela PIS feels that Avent drains milk better, but of course PIS easier on the hand. I also use both b4 and I think its probably true as well. But me having so much milk to use manual is really really tiring. If using dual, can still use one hand to hold both bottles and the other hand to massage boobs while pumping.
 
Cindy:

Trishelle is so cute ! I love her standing hair... ya...I agree with u childcare is highly sought nowadays... I already put Favian on waiting list my Jurong Point's my first skool..ha...very kiasu... But I think its necessary..cos they told me their waiting list queue til next year ! Ya we shall organise another outing when u r free...
happy.gif


sunshinebaby, prosper, lipstar:

thanks...
happy.gif
had a hard time capturing his smiley look... and recently he is quite cranky...so this is one of rare occasion that he is good mood... ha...

Irene:
I also spent quite sometime capturing his smile...be patient...I believe Zac will smile and pose for his mummy soon...
happy.gif
 
Underwire Bra
Agreed that it can cause blocked ducts cos it happened to me! Even tight tube bras also cannot...

Carrier
Today tried out the china brand carrier my mum got for me. Gal gal loves it, even slept in it. But got a question, for mummies who bring bb out alone, can you eat with your bb sleeping in the carrier?

Misscandy
I think our bbs ard same age right? Joyce just turned 8 wks old and since last sun she has been super cranky, will scream when she wanna sleep and just won't settle despite all the singing, rocking etc. This morning she was cranky again so we brought her out for her walk and she is really gai-gai queen, step out of the hse only she stopped wailing.
 

Lenny:

ya I am praying too... Favian is sleeping now.. I praying for him to drink his feeds near going out time so he won't be cranky later and I need not bring so much things... :p
