alfalfa,

Thanks for the link on the comparison, i am very tempted to get another bb carrier.

it seems that beco and pikkolo are better for petite mums. I belong to those big frames one..

will be good if i get to go Picotin fair and see the demo next week with hubby then decide
 


hahha lenny, mummybean:: HV is holland Village!

lenny, mummybean, bluebell, irene:: Trishelle thanks you for your compliments haha! Standing hair, hai, i don't know why her hair stands this way. Her brother didn't have this problem of hair standing up! hahha.

mummybean:: wahh! i didn't know it's highly sought after! the one at JP i mean. hehe. but it's right of you. A lot of mommies i know are also queuing up places. My cousin Queued up even when she was PREGNANT! for St James. but then ahaha when it's time for her boy to go, he didn't want to go to that school, so forfeited chance and deposit. Naughty. SO we like doesn't mean they like too. Hai. Hope my #1 don't create trouble for me and school!
 
Cindy:

ha...oh so Ic...haha... HV is a good coffee place... yaya I agree... I queued for their infant care too when I was preggie..in the end I gave up the place and I realise their childcare is very hot... ha...but being KS is better than when u need it there isn't a place for u... since u pointed out...ha..I think i should go queue a few more places to give him choices... :p how old is ur #1 ? ya going childcare for some parents can be a nightmare if their child don't like the sch...
 
mummybean:: haha, he just turned 18mths. a terror at home. needs to get some discipline man. haha. yea, should go Q really. haha..
 
Cindy
Understand your situation. My also a terror even went to childcare his teacher also complaining to us.

Seeing all the cute babies, make me wanted to post up Anver's photo too :p. Just take awhile ago only.

IS the HV outing confirmed? What time?
 
Mummies,

any of you tried bring out bb alone in prams? If you have and while you need to go answer nature's call.. what do you do?

push the pram in the ladies? then bb lei? carry into cubicle ? cos i know most cubicles are so small.. don't think can push pram in.

i mean even the ladies are small, pushing the pram in will totally block the walkway for ppl coming in and out of the ladies.

any suggestions?
 
Lenny,

I tried b4 but was scared stiff at the escalators. i nearly toppled the stroller. Horrible and frightening experience. For me, i went Paragon so left the stroller near the sinks while I took bb into cubicle. Very funny to take off pants and try carrying bb and hushing him and peeing quickly. haha.. quite challenging
 
jo..

That's what i was wondering. got to worry if pppl will steal stroller..then we got our diaper bag to carry plus our bb then we have to pee or poo.. Stress...
 
lenny,
why not use the handicapped toilet? shld b big enough, but sometime very dirty n smelly lor.

otherwise like what Jo say, leave it outside.

vernice80,

Yah, he was 3.8kg and a big drinker.. about 140 ml every 3 hrs..

irene,
Mine comes once per week

re:bringing bb out alone
It's nt easy and can be tramautising. For me, it took twice and Eddric was screaming all the way home as I drove. Nightmare for me. Had to stop at bus stops to calm him. But it gets easier as it goes. Now I can bring him shopping in a CARRIER, not stroller. N he likes it! He will smile when I show him the carrier.
 
<font color="ff0000">kome</font> - too bad i didn't get to do it last fri. heehee..he sleep so soundly..can't bear to do it.

<font color="ff0000">ida</font> - u r welcome! sassy got to bring her gal to school today..i am 'onz' for pizza/kfc heehee
 
Cindy
Not so like his bro. Yup, i got take photo for both of them together. You got FB? I had posted it up in my FB. If not i post here.

Jo
Eddric is a big drinker. Anver only drink 90ml every 2 to 3 hourly.

Vernice
Sure there will be other chances, but not too sure if by than he will still be so chubby or not. :p
 
<font color="ff0000">Jo</font> - Joel also born at 3.7kg but he doesn't drink that much yet. now week 8 and starting to drink 130-140ml at 4-5hrs interval

Both Favian and Trishelle have beautiful eyes and I love Trishelle's static standing hair, so cute.

Kome, your boy very chubby wor..how many weeks and is he fully BF or mix with FM? Which brand do u use?

Cranky baby
My boy was also very cranky last evening, cry murder even if it is not his feeding time. I so pek chek that I did a terrible thing...threw a cushion at him. I was so mad that I totally lost patience, angry at him and myself. HB has to take over to soothe him. So guilty after that and I promise never to do that to him again. This is my 2nd time liao, how I wish I can be more patient with him. Hopefully I can build up the 'immunity' as time goes by
 
<font color="ff0000">cindy</font> - ya...i can't live w/o it now..but at night will let him sleep in cot..luckily it runs on electric motor
happy.gif
 
<font color="ff0000">ida</font> - heehee that day nvr see sms..then when i read the msg already very late so didnt bother to reply. its ok lah..
 
my boy is drinking the max 120ml too...every 3 hours interval....
and he's still pretty lightweight actually...4.8kg currently at 8 weeks.
 
Scrumpee, hugs, we all have our bad days here n there. I also got so mad at #1, I threw him on the bed. For Trishelle Haha, I just left her outside, shut the door and pretend to hear nothing Haha.

Asura79,

EASY aims for a 3 hrly cycle in the day so that at night BB can go longer in between feeds - ie in the daytime feed (E) every 3 hrs, and try not to let bb nap (S) more than 1.5-2hrs at each stretch, except for the pre-evening nap which shd be kept to no more than 45 mins cos it's near bedtime. So really the A depends on whether u have reached that 3 hrly cycle and how long ur bb can nap at a stretch in the day. The most importnat thing, as Alfafa has mentioned earlier is that you have to watch your bb's sleepy cues and put her to sleep as soon as u see them, otherwise u miss the sleep window and bb can become overtired and cranky therefore more difficult to put to sleep.

Basically EASY in the daytime is more or less flexible with each BB lah - no set times, you set the timings - just follow that pattern as much as u can, with the idea that if bb has taken a full feed, and if they fuss too soon before the next feed is due, they cannot be hungry again so must be another reason, in which case it's either discomfort/tiredness usually. Hence the importance of being able to read ur bb's signs of tiredness.

EASY in the night time is another matter - just E and S but TRacy Hogg's method is to cluster feed before and at bedtime, and then dream feed 3hrs after the last feed, so baby ultimately sleeps all the way through the night. Dream feed = feed while bb is sleeping ie don't wake them up just trigger their sucking reflex and they will suck and swallow.

I'm quite lucky BB and I actually led each other into more or less EASY before I learned about Baby Whisperer method, so just trying to keep to the routine as much as possible. Like what was said here, there is some difficulty with EA/AE at times but that's cos my boy is feisty and fights sleep so sometimes KO's after a feed. Still trying to retrain him to go to sleep! I also don't cluster feed and dream feed, preferring to give a bigger feed at bedtime - it lasts him at least 5-6 hrs straight till the next feed so only need to wake up once in the night to feed him anyway. I don't dream feed myself cos i don't think it's realisitically possible with a refluxy baby, but it's been known to work with other ppl
