pig pig,
no leh. Where in the profile page do you see a upload video option? I only have the info page, photo page, blog page and boxes page. No where in any of the pages do I see an option for video.

wah biang I must be really blind man. Where is it??! arrrggghhhhh
 
hey Missy n prosper, sigh think shall we postpone the imm outing? Now my hubby also say stay home over wkend. Sian. Ahhhh!

Alfafa, glad u are doing well. Me also no pump after latch ley Haha, Somemore she only latches one side per feed and I just leave the other boob alone Muahahha. Now I am replacing one feed with Fm, so the time each boob gets emptied really become very long man... Haha....
 
Thanks Vernice! Thanks Alfafa!

OK I might get my butt out of the house tmr and try out at Thomson Plaza first since its near my place.
 
cindy,
think as long as you diligently monitor whether or not you have lumps should be fine bah? That's what I am doing now since I am still too lazy to pump after latch. If I feel any lump, I make sure that when I next feed baby I will massage that spot before hand and during the feed. :p heee

What to do? Singapore is such a small country and most places are teeming with people. Better be safe than sorry.
 
koala,
they have free delivery for orders above $120. So you don;t even have to move your butt and can spend $200 plus liao. hehehee
 
Alfafa,
Beats me too..... why are my boobs smaller than before? Or is it becos they were so big when preggy and post that it now looks so tiny hahahaa!??

OK ok, you really tempting me now. If I really do get it now, can bring to Penang next week heehehee... how how? I've also not decided on the design yet. Eyeing on the Paradise with beige straps but not sure if I should get one with black straps instead? Shucks, been super indecisive ever since I stopped working... can't tahan myself also hahahaa.
 
Not sure if I am responding to everyone but I'll try!

Alfafa, are you sure you cn't come
sad.gif
It's a condo after all, not a public place. And if any mum or baby is not feeling, they should know not to turn up. I'm so sorry I can't refund the money as I paid for most of the stuff already. Hope I can get someone to take your place if you really can't come.

pinksorbet, Dunstan baby language is relevant only til 3 months old right? Mine passed 3 months already. but she is quite tall, I had to put aside some pretty hand me downs as she has outgrown even before wearing them. Sigh. They grow so fast!

jtho, good that Oli is doing well there! Bisous a vous deux!

Asura, thanks so much for the tips. Will def have bowl of water in the room. I bought this cute sleepsack from Kate Quinn for the flight.
 
Starflower,
Glad you had a great time with hb in Bali! We stayed at Maya Ubud 4 years ago and its so beautiful and romantic! We had massage everyday - love love it!

About mixing FM and BM in a bottle, I've asked my PD this qn before and he said its possible.

LG playmat
I'm going to order from gmarket tmr

depends on the colours you wear on yourself usually because it really does act like an accessory item. starflower looks really good in her paradise. There is cloud with dark brown straps too. That one gives me a very japanese feel. I like my mocca rouge cos I like strong bold colours but then it does clash with my clothes alot. *lols*

Which is the reason why I might get another carrier ... ^-^

excuses excuses
 
By the way, the book I am reading is Sign, Sing and Play! by Monta Z Briant

I like it because it incorporates playtime. The pictures are a little small for me though (bad eyesight!)
 
pumpkin,
no lah. No intention to ask for refund at all. Don't worry about it. Hubby is worried and he couldn't stop nagging me about it. So to keep him happy I shall not go lor. Sorry about it.

Koala,
interesting. Keep me posted on Gmarket's service. heeee

actually I've forgotten how my breasts and nipples look like before preggy. Used to be perky but now ... aiiiiiii
 
pumpkin - i'm not too sure about that...is it till 3 months? if that is so, it won't apply to mummies here soon enough as our babies are more or less coming to 3 months...

ok mummies...its getting quite late...i'm off to bed...nite to all =)
 
alfafa,
Thanks for the wishes and I certainly hope it will be safe, enjoyable and healthy trip!
Glad to hear you are much better

Actually for me, I pump 2 times a day despite tbf. At night and in the morning. Tiring and a real bother but no choice. Engorged breasts are horrid
sad.gif


tuskywoollie,
My baby was starting to suck her fist at about 10 weeks old and today at 11.5 weeks, she displayed her full-fledge fist-sucking ability. Very cute to watch :p
 
pups,
my worry is always what if baby wants milk right after I pump? Hmmm actually I can circumvent that by just pumping some and not emptying the breasts. But the thought of having to sterilise wash sterilise wash ... zzzzzzzzzzz buay tahan man
 
pinksorbet, I watched the Dunstan Baby language episode on Oprah and I remmber her saying til 3 months. After that they, start to tune in to their parents language.

Oh man, what a auntie I am, first Suze Orman, then Oprah.
 
alfafa,
If the baby wants right after you pump, just give whatever you pumped out fresh! Haha. I tell baby that is fresh milk, still nice and warm
happy.gif
 
alfafa, don't be sorry, I just feel it's a pity that's all! I'm wondering how you will cope with staying home though. Don't picture you as that type he he
 
he is worried because there are other babies there :p paranoid daddy. Lols

Nope, as it is my friend is fine with changing our lunch date to HV instead of Tiong Bahru plaza.
happy.gif


pups,
oh yah hor. forgot. hahahah When I exclusively pumped during the 2nd month I always feed that day's milk for max nutrients, then freeze about 2 bags extra. Oh I rem now, that was the reason why I tend to either go exclusive BF or exclusive pump, and not a combination of both. Because if I give bb my freshly pumped milk in the event that she wants milk right after I just pumped, then I will get engorgement due to the long lapse till the subsequent feed. Don't know how you can take it.

irene,
yah I'm curious too. I'm interested in Mei Tai baby which is supposedly highly rated but the principles are the same, you need to tie the straps. No buckles.
 
I have to go out at least once on my own every week if not I will really die of boredom. hmmm ... will talk to him again. I myself am also a bit worried but didn't think of dropping out until he kept insisting that I get my mom to help baby sit. :p

Alfafa, jia you, u'll get around all this milk problems soon...
 
thanks alfafa.. mummies here didnt know abt this promo... quite some time liao.. april thread mumies order till 12 packs lehh hehe
 
alfafa,

Yup. I am still in US. Monday went to outlet and saw a gp of mexicans, got my hubby to bring bb back to car while i shop far away from them... lol.

We went yellowstone national park over the weekend. think not so humid there, when we got back, my gsl's condition became worse n i had dry (almost feeling sore) throat in the morn even though i drank a litre of water during the nite. keep spraying saline into her nose n used 2 humidifiers in the room. she looked better today, at least she is not crying the whole day.
 
pumpkinsed,

No prob. remember to monitor bb's breathing sound for signs of dryness. add more bowls of water if dry n just drop some saline drops or spray into her nose. me suffer terribly for not taking prevention measures.
 
Pink, i'm letting Keenan wear size M now, in fact he's been on huggies size M for about 1-2 weeks already and this few days started on the Fitti M. I think it's a really good deal but hurry, coz i'm not sure if its 1st or 30th that the promo ends.

Ida, why a sad icon? Not spending on pricier carriers is not a sad thing, neither does it mean u're a lesser mummy to Akmal. In fact, it means u're a smarter mummy if u know how to spend wisely only on the things u need. Some of us think carriers are important, so we spend on carriers. Some of us spend on branded bottles like our avent/nuk ones instead of neighbourhood shop ones. Some of us choose to purchase nursing covers instead of making them ourselves. We let our babies wear diapers instead of washing those cloth ones. Worse still, we even splurge on Sophies when we know there are other cheaper teethers out there.

I remember when i was young, i didn't have all these and in fact my stroller was those light weight ones that one day, when my mum brought me marketing, the groceries was so heavy on the handles, it flipped over and i bumped my head crying! But does that make my mum a lesser mum to me? Hahahaa of course not. It's not what we can or cannot provide materially to our kids. It'll be the lessons in life that we teach them and the love/support we give them always, that will make them remember us. That will make a difference to the kind of adults they will become one day, and to be someone we will be proud of.

So, since quite a number of us are SAHM, we should continue to share our lobangs here coz aren't we a bunch of smart mummies

hehee So, back to the shopping, anyone going to Motherhood Fair? Heheee
 
hazel, pumpkinseed, the mei tai is good as in it's really portable, it's just a pc of cloth with long straps. So can just fold up n put inside your bag.
Why i feel difficult to use, cos on one hand u need to support your bb, the other gotta pull the strap tight, then still need to tie at the back. Maybe it will be easier with bigger baby with better neck support. Cos Zac's neck is still not so strong, i find it hard to handle the mei tai.
Oh ya, it doesn't come with any head support also.

What the lady there told me is that the meitai is good cos you are not restricted by the buckles, and if wanna change over hand to another person to carry the baby using the carrier, you dun need to readjust.
The above is just my views, it's better to go down n try with your baby n feel how it is before purchasing ba. Hope this help.
Back to sleep le. Nite all.
 
tuskywoolie,

My gal dont have a cough yet.. just sounding uncomfortable with the phlegm. Here, i am told that 2.5 mths is too young for medication. So we would monitor the situation and see how. Not sure where to look for PD leh... and whether PD cost is covered by travel insurance. I know GP is.. heh..
 
starflower,

Which hotel/resort did u stay at Bali? Wah... i miss the massages... hope that can go with hb nxt yr. Last time i go bali was for sightseeing, massage and waterrafting. Am thinking next time would go there just to laze at the beach and eat yummy seafood... hee hee..
 
jtho,

*wave* Good to know the Oli is good on the flight. He managed to sleep? I worry now abt my return journey even though it is a good 2 months away. Hope that my gal can catch some sleep in the plane.. heh. enjoy yourself. Would catch up with u when i am back in SG..

Re: Pumping BM
Daytime, I usually can't wait too long for bb's next feed as my breast gets hard. Luckily she doesn't sleep long hours during daytime (45mins-2hrs) so I do not need to pump. Some bbs sleep 3-4 hrs stretch consistently during daytime so not pumping after latching may not work in that case.

Night time, as she sleeps 3-5hrs, I will take that opportunity to pump once after she latches.

asura,
actually the pd prescribed cough medicine for my bb when he was 1.5 months old. It was the last resort because he's been coughing for 2 weeks and not getting better. PD said that it's no good for bb to b sick for so long. i guess different doctors will have different opinions abt this. The only other thing you can do is to pat bb's back when she's coughing (cup your hand and pat hard lik for burping), PD said that this will expel the phlegm and bb will swallow into tummy.
 
Alfafa,

Me too have problem with blk ducts initially so was very disciplined in pumping. Now dont have liao... took me a month to finally not need to pump. Pumping plus latching very tiring hor??? I only pump if engorged. Sometimes, if still got blk ducts, i would squeeze and massage while latching. It does help.. before i came to US, i was pumping once a day, me also latch on one breast at each time. Only started pumping again day before cos i wanted to introduce bottle to my gal.. if not, later i go back to SG and back to work, she refuses bottles.

Really weird, in SG, my mom and my MIL help me feed with bottle, she very unhappy abt it... here in US, when my hb tried feeding her bottle first time, she finish every single drop of it!
 
emmum,

Yah.. i guess if illness persists for too long need medication. My gal no cough at the moment, just lots of phlegm, sometimes i hear her trying to guage and shallow something. Since she doesnt cough, would it still work if i pat her hard?
 
starflower,
the fitti diaper is cheap.
is the securing tape velcro type or those sticker type (like drypers)?
What size is Keenan wearing now? Is the cutting small?
 
<font color="119911">asura,
when my bb got phlegm, she will keep wanting to drink milk n make herself puke, she will puke out lots of sticky phlegm, hw clever can bb be. i find patting dun help coz when we heard she got phlegm n tried to pat, it doesnt help.

irene,
fitti cutting is small like drypers. got to get at least M size for our bb liaoz.</font>
 
My boy is having cough &amp; phelgm and doc did prescribe medicine for him...but these few days, he drinks his milk very slowly...sigh =(
 
morning mummies!

vivien,
