Mummies who had used carriers for their older kids, how long did you use the carrier? Am thinking to invest in another carrier but put my 7kg nephew into the carrier today and I find it rather straining. Also, my nephew (6MO) kept leaning forward, thus straining the carrier.
Oh, my gal reached a milestone on Sat
After the CP gathering, I noticed she kept twisting her body machiam wanna flip and true enuf on Sat, she did
Ah, so fast time flies...

Baby Signs-> apparently, at 3 months we can start teaching them signing. Babies will also learn language faster than non-signing babies.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gSZfW4gVhI&feature=related
And in Singapore, the organisation is :
http://www.babysigns.com.sg/index.html
Will any mummies be interested in a workshop from them? should we ask if they are willing to open a workshop for us?

First day at work today and morning was a rush, feed baby, bathe & dress up, breakfast, entertain him while trying to get myself all ready for work.
Luckily, office is shifting by end of this week, nothing much to do yet. Just reporting work for the sake of reporting.

Morning mummies,
It have been a well I didnt log into our march thread as my boy have be admitted to hospital coz of allegy due to fever, he took fever medicine and his body start to have lots and lots! of rashes, and me and hubby start to worried that he got allegy?? PD also cant be sure is it due to medicine, so he ask us to admit him as he got fever and cant take medicine. So we got no choice but to admit him on Wednesday night. Hubby was with him till Thursday. I WAS REALLY ANGRY with what KK nurse do to my Ethan!! they shower him in running tap water and he cry like hell even he got no high fever anymore!! They done it when my hubby went down to pick us up as they restrict 2 visitors to visit as now they have the H1N1 virus. We went up cant find my baby in his bath and went around searching for him and heard him crying non stop in the bath room. I was really upset by it and ask hubby no matter what have to ask for discharge on that day and not on the 2nd day as the doctor in the morning insist that he cant be discharge on that day.

vernice,
I also ganna painful nipple/aerola due to overpumping. How long u pump? TMC parentraft says max 15min each side. I apply Lansinoh nipple cream BEFORE n AFTER pumping when it was very painful. Now that its better, i apply juz b4 pumping and nite b4 sleeping. I like lansinoh cos its 100% pure lanolin, no need to wash. Other brands e.g AVent also no need to wash, but not 100% lanolin leh, so don feel comfy abt it.

bluebell, my gal learned how to flip too last week
but she is only halfway there as she flips from tummy to back. Still cant flip from back to tummy.
Jasmine, hope your boy is getting better, it must have been such a traumatizing experience for him.

mummies here are talking about how much their bbs drink.. i am the same with you cos i am on total latch. Brianne refuses bottle even for EBM so i don't really know how much she drinks..
i just feed her till she has enough and burp her. as long as she is putting on good weight, she should be fine, so dun worry too much

thanks mummies for the suggestions and help!
I did pump out. usually only give when i go work as i only got enough for 3 feeds for one week.. haha.. quite pathetic right? hmmm.she takes 100-120ml per feed. lasts about 2 hours. but when i latch she seems to want to feed all the time, very often. will cry after about 15 - 20 mins after the last feed.
I think she did empty my breasts as she feed for 30-45mins so should be getting the hind milk. My breasts will feel soft when she finishes..
Puzzling.. dunno if it's because my milk not enough nutrients so she's not full enough?

Thanks mummies,
My boy already discharged on Thursday which is the day I saw my boy suffer. I insisted my hubby to get the doctor approval to let him discharge as I can see the doctor there can do nothing for my boy already as they have took his fluid from his mouth and took his blood for test. And result show he gana some kind of virus attack, doctor say his rashes will go away in weeks and nothing was given to him for apply as well so why keep him there!!?? I was pissed with my hubby too for not letting him go to TMC instead as I have told him why not let him go TMC instead, he say the PD last minute change his letter to go KKH instead. My hubby was sick the week before, he went to the doctor too late I guess, as by then he already pass the virus to my 2kids and his mum as well, so the whole family is down with flu virus! Accept me and my maid, I almost fall sick as well on sat, but I quickly took medicine before it hit me as well. So mummies be aware when you or your family feel not well better to see doctor...
Amount of milk baby take:
My boy intake of milk, just to share, he is 3.5 months, he drink 110ml of my EBM every 3hourly.

Jasmine - The viral is call roseola. My ger last week had it. Fever for 4 days till 39 plus degree then subside. Once subside all the rashes come out. Take abt another 2 to 3 days for the rashes to be gone and they will be back to normal. The rashes will not cause itch or discomfort. Don't worry abt it. Your boy will soon be up and running. Me too was worried sick for the whole damn week... ;p

re: bb signing workshop
i'm interested too.
mummies - when u mummies talk abt bb feeding time 10-15 mins, is it both breast or 1? My boy 2+mth finish both in 15 mins and day time last abt 2hr if lucky 3hr. At night 3hr if lucky 4hr for first feed and abt 2 to 3 hr for 2nd feed. SOOO envy u mummies that bb can last so long for the next feed. I'm not sure how much my boy drink as well since i'm also total latch on.
Talking abt poops, he poops and wee wee every feed (straight tunnel). Hoping that when he turn 3 mth will be like u mummies, bb sleep longer hour.

bluebell,
Though I went to Taka on Friday, I only have time to go straight to the bedshop to order the mattress and to go get the Tiger Food Jar and then I am out of Taka. Yesterday went Causeway Point also had time to go Metro for bedsheets only and have to make our way home cos near my boy's nap time. With the kids, there are so limited things we can do. Hubby and myself were looking around and going "we have not gone there to see yet... there got things leh... aiya, no time..."
Even packing for my trip tomorrow, I had to do in between looking after the 2 little imps. Was telling hubby all I need is an uninterrupted 30mins to pack everything for everyone and I don't even have the luxury of 30mins! Anyway, most of the things are packed and hubby is now bathing the baby. (told him whenever he is home on leave or over weekends, he should bond with the baby and bathing is one good way! Ha!

)Kat,
I had similar problem to u when I was latching a couple of months ago. He used to latch for like an hour - effectively only sucking for the first first 5 mins and then after that sucking on and off, and altho my breasts became soft after each feed, after like 2 hrs hungry again. Ended up not only creating a snacking habit, but also being treated like a pacifier that he needed before going to sleep!!! On hindsight the problems were probably due to:
a) my milk flow was (and still is) quite pathetic
b) baby not latching as well as he should
so above two combined, bb not feeding as well as i imagined. I'm now expressing, and he is much happier - in fact now reject breast and only want bottle *_* Not sure if the same problems apply to u, but if u express and only have enough for 3 feeds in one week, u may have the same issue with milk flow. Might also be worth double checking bb's latch just in case.

hi all..
OMG I've been missing for almost a month haha...kinda miss this thread!
anyway..how are your babies mummies? growing cuter and cuter?
just share with u...last month I mentioned that my bb suddenly was really fussy over his milk..he refused drinking from bottle and latching as well..on the 2nd wk i tried to latch again and to my surprise he didnt refuse, but he still refused the bottle. by the 3rd wk I got so frustrated because it was like wrestling with him before each feed. he used his hands to push away the bottle and spit it out. I consulted with mrs wong..she said could not be nipple confusion coz confusion wont be that long..so it must be wind. But after observing a few weeks, I am sure it's not due to wind. on the 3rd wk I decided to stop latching and pumping as well..just give formula with bottle...he was still fussy..until the 3rd day he suddenly back to normal and take his milk from bottle peacefully. so my conclusion is..he did get confused at first..but by the 2nd wk, he knew the difference between nipple n bottle and of course he prefer nipple! that's why he got mad when i put bottle teat on his mouth. I'm so relieved that he now drinks well..although I'm abit sad too I've to stop breastfeed him when i just started to enjoy the bonding time I get when I latch him..
anyway mummies...my bb now is almost 10 wk old and drinking 120ml..how long we continue giving 120ml? when do we need to buy bigger bottles? I'm using 125ml avent bottle now..

re: latching hour
I used to latch my bb for 45-60mins. so i guess it's normal.
re:bb sleep thru the night
sometimes he can sleep for 6 hour stretch...but the next day back to 4-5hour...how to maintain it at 6 hour? and anyway 6 hour is from 7pm to 1am..i want to train him sleep 6 hour from 11pm to 5am..anyone knows how to do that?

Jaszho, me too!!! started work today... one of my friends said her colleague cried when she came back to work, i tot that happens to me too, but i guess maybe i was confined at home for too long, gng back to office feels more like a relief... but i do miss my gal whole day, so the 1st thing i did upon reaching office is to put her pictures all over my work desk... only diff now is to get up earlier as need to pump and pack all the pumping stuffs.
Tusky, my bb also 12 weeks and drink approx. 90ml - 110ml per feed 2.5 - 3 hourly. there was a period of time she can drink up to 125ml every 2.5 hourly, which i believe is growth spurt, now only max 110ml and she will stop drinking.
Kat, initially i dunno how to express and store as bb needs to latch as i worried the MS will go down. what i do is make sure day time i pump every 3 hours DILIGENTLY and night time shall latch her. my MIL will feed her using bottle in the daytime and as days goes by, you will realise the storage is getting more in ur freezer. It is tiring to pump cos need to sterilise and wash, but i tink carrying bb 30mins every 2 hours is even more tiring. drink more soup and fluids as it helps in the letdown.

Goodness gracious me! My bb seems to drink a lot compared to many bb here.. He has moved on to the bigger bottles.. 170 ml every 4 hrs. Maybe he should be put on a diet? haha...
Kome,
I guess every bb has different drinking habits. As long as they r growing well, i think its fine.

MEDICINE TO BE TAKEN PRIOR JAB
proven and tested that if baby drink BAI BAO SHENG before their jabs....it'll help and will not alleviate much....it's to help to calm the system. i have administered to ugin twice (once last mth and once 5 days ago)...his fever never reach higher then 37.7degrees.
all you have to do is buy from any chinese medical hall and then cut half for (2 days dosage. 30ml per day)...give baby after milk or after bath.
works on ugin although this time round the jab i also did give ugin 01 time of panadol adviced by PD.
do try so baby won;t suffer...it hurts us more.

Vernice,
Think u overpump liao, like me last time. I also pump abt 30-40mins due to one breast being much slower than the other. Was taught by TMC parentcraft to massage before pumping so milk can be expressed faster. But I massage while pumping la, works for me too. Cos if massage b4 pumping, milk will fly all over the place, very messy! I now keep to max 20mins only and with massaging, can still pump abt same amt of milk as last time. Using Lansinoh cream, i don't remove it. Its also recommended by the Breastfeeding Mothers support grp cos its not so sticky

The vaccine (DPT/DT and Oral Sabin) for 3rd month is it 5-in-1 jab? does it cause fever?

I normally BF my baby... Only when my MIL or mom is around then they will bottle feed her... If she zzzz, means she full already i think so... then will throw away the milk then make new one for her the next feed...
