prosper, where did she buy it from? can exchange for something else of same value? If not then you may try to post it at the WTS section and since it is brand new shd be able to sell. You already have a stroller at home, how come your MIL still go and buy another one.
 
Re: Holding baby to stand
I'm also guilty of holding my baby upright, supporting his neck & head to stand. He seems to like to "see" his surrounding in a different position

Re: Holding his head up on tummy
My boy could hold his head up for quite a long time when he was 1 mth old and now, he's 3mths old and could hold his head up & turn from left to right

Re: Mamypoko
Mummies using mamypoko, do you find that if the diaper is not changed for more than 8hrs(overnight), there's a quite strong ammonia smell (urine)? I've tried with petpet & there seem to be less smelly.
 
Jasmin, yes come to think of it, I do smell the ammonia smell but I choose to ignore it, hahaha. But I find mamypoko good cos normally no leakage even after many hours.
 
Talking abt stroller:
Any mummies has recommendation on strollers which are lightweight yet sturdy (possible??) and comes with leg cover for cold weather.

Am still looking around. peg pergo is one choice but seems heavy. Saw this Inglesina stroller from First Few Years. One hand operation, comes with leg cover but heavy.

I got combis stroller for my elder son at NTUC for $168 and was regretted. It is really very flimsy and my son outgrown it at about 7months coz the seat is very small for him. Now i got the lucky baby big one but of course wquite heavy lor, therefore if i go out alone i will rather use the carrier.

Jasmin
Yes, i do smell it also. Same as sportyger chose to ignore it. Mamypoko really quite good lor really last for long hours without leaking.
 
sportyger/kome
I find mamypoko doesn't get too bulky even when it's very wet but talking abt leaks, my boy's pants was wet last nite when I feed him. (diaper was put on frm 8pm to 4am). Maybe it's because I didn't tape properly or my boy moved alot during his sleep cause it seldom happen.
 
Agnes, another lightweight one is Aprica but I also find it not sturdy leh. Think if you want lightweight, then hard to be very sturdy. I saw my sis with her peg pergo and I think it is really sturdy. I mean her gal is already 3 and she is still using it and she's very comfortable in it.
 
lenny
my boi is on NAN Pro 1... y?

kat
thks for yr info!!! will take note!!!

teddybb
noted... he look like me huh... hee hee
my hb's coll oso mentioned tat he like me... my hb not very 'happy' coz doesn't resemble him hahaha but i told him kid still will chg one, mayb willlook like him when he get older... =p

vernice
my boi is taking 150ml currently... now i store 150ml in freezer, so if my mum gg to increase his intake to 6 oz, either add on another pack frozen EBM else FM...
btw my boi can hold his head up w/o support but not realli steady lor...

irene
yr ss consider gd lor compare to mine which only 150ml...

queenie
i'm currently using ba wang shampoo... i find it not bad...
 
Jasmin
Is it because your boy sleep side way? I realise that if i let my boy sleep side way, my Nepia and GooN will be wet after 1 hour only. Mamypoko have not really try yet as i only let my boy wear mamypoko during night time.
 
sportyger, my mil is like that one.. loves to buy buy buy. She say buy one gd one, mine is pass down from my friend, she said that brand not gd so she bought one for Kayle. all Kayle's stuffs, she bought one, bottles, clothes, pacifier, FM, pampers...everything.
My hubby ask her not to buy for us but she insisted.so everytime, things not finish yet she boought again.
 
sportyger, ya she is lor. I already got one mattress at home. She go and buy one really gd one, somemore got certificate one.
Now my house all stuff with bulky thing. i dun like many things at home.
My hubby just called me said she bought lots of toy for Kayle, those bulky toy... alamak.. going to faint
 
Reverie, how much you pay for the swimming set from Hwa Xia? I went to the outlet but din see the set.

Vernice, I only bought the neck float from BP, $15. Pups suggested to use the bath tub at home so I'm gonna try that

Reducing MS - I used 1 month to train my body to only pump 2x a day and another week to reduce to once a day. Since yday I stop expressing liao. Maybe I din need long to stop MS cos din have lots in the first place :p
 
prosper/serene, yeah me too, like pampers and mamypoko, now w the Fitti offer i think its good too

i'm also guilty of letting bb stand on his feet, really should stop myself...oh yeah, he still can't flip leh :S

Gathering on 19Jun, yeah Vivo also can, paragon also can :p better shop now for new clothes, all my previous work clothes can't zip/button up at the boobs part, gesh....

hubby is persuading me to stop work again and be SAHM...*sigh*...
 
pinkdemoness
most mummies asked Pumpkin Seed to get their Sophies for them cos i cannot get too many as i have limited luggage space. and Pumpkin Seed will be back before me, so they will probably get their Sophies by 19 June. for u and a couple more mummies whom i am helping to get ur Sophies, u will have to wait after 21 June
happy.gif
 
starflower, you also using Fitti? i find it quite good too, cos i tried almost all brands and find huggies ultra and fitti are good!!! Mamypoko also good but can leak leh.. Drypers a bit cheapo, maybe due to the sticky tape cos most diapers are velcro type already..

Kayla keeps putting her hands into the mouth, how to stop it? btw any of your bb got sweaty palms and feet? i was wiping Kayla's palms and feet as often as i could due to the sweat, went to see PD and he said it could lead to fungal infection or eczema, so have to wipe as frequent as possible.. sighs.. i was quite a lazy person before preggie, but for the sake of bb, now have to be very on in cleaning, feeding, washing, etc...
 
<font color="119911">no time to go thru archieve yet coz sorting out the orders n payment nw.

irene,
i wanna get avent btls. can help me buy? 1 wan 4 or 6 260ml btls, not the BPA de. thanks.</font>
 
starflower
i'm using petpet for my boi during the day as hb said use goon quite exp so we only use goon for the night...

fitti n petpet fr the same co right?
 
Mummies,
Sorry to interrupt. Anyone keen to purchase Avent IQ Bottle and baby food warmer ? I've a brand new one unused . Willing to sell 30% cheaper off the usual selling price in the market. Pls PM me if interested. Thanks.
 
is pumpkin back before 19jun? if so then will join in the gathering to get the sophies.. heee can share cab with queenie then.. =)

today my boy officially suck his fingers with sound liao.. very zhun, never came out for more than 5mins.. not just tasting but suckle.. so cute..
 
sportyger,
Thanks for e info on aprica. I will be doing passport for my boy as well. The studio near my place know how to handle baby so will be bringing him to take pix.

Gathering on 19th? Am keen. Recently i tried to bring bb alone to jurong point for dessert. Good thing he is very interested in the surrounding n keep looking instead of fussing.
happy.gif
Now has slightly more confidence to bring him out.
 
Sweaty feet: Same here. My boy is also very prone to sweaty feet, especially after he gets agitated/excited and kicks a lot. Wow. Didn't know it will lead to eczema. Better wipe his feet more often then.
Palms not sure, cos he always sucks his fists. They are perpetually wet - dunno due to perspiration or saliva or both.

Diapers - He is using Drypers for day and MamyPoko for night.

Lately also bought Huggies Dry Comfort bcos NTUC was having promotion. Find the cutting too small, like bikini cut, as a mummy here once said.

Hmm.. maybe I'll go and buy Fitti and let him try also.
 
baby standing: Same here. I also hold him by his armpits when he stands on my lap. But I did not purposely want to make him stand. Found out he could stand (with help) inadvertently.

Serene: Tks for the heads up abt the Watsons offer!
 
<font color="0000ff">mummies
anyone using goon diaper? wanna combine orders? i'm staying in amk...
</font>
 
Prosper,
My mil is e same like urs...
happy.gif
tink both their love language is gifts so they express their love to their grandchildren using gifts...i like u, like e place simple n clean...dislike cluttered envt...oso i believe bb's stuff easily outlive...soi tink e salespple very happy to see her...i not sure abt urs but price to her is not an issue...my love lang is words of affirmation so we cant seem to connect well...everytime she passes something to me for him, i keep hinting to her tat no need to buy...in e end...jus tell myself to accept but for some items i don find it useful, jus keep it wrapped...in future can secretly recycle as gifts for my preggie galfrienz ahhh...bad ha...

knj
my boi oso has sweaty palms n feet, tink itz due to e weather...how come ur gal can get eczema? i thot eczema usually affects areas like e arms/elbows/knees? Perhaps keeping her in an air con rm helps?

My bb finally could sleep thru e nite e 1st time yesterday frm 1-6am...cldn't believe...thot im dreaming...it sure makes a big diff; he is 2mths 14 days old when this happened...
happy.gif


Nowadays i try him on e electric yaolan...he seems to crave sleep more than b4...but when he wakes up e appetite is qite good, unless he sleepy...e highest amt of milk he drank is 160 ml...ideally by 3rd mth, e bb shld drink bet 150-180 ml as found on e fm tin...e interval for feeding varies for bbs, i tink...itz his 4th day n he can finally get used to sleeping in e yl in e day...now itz e other way round, we hav to let him wake up...
happy.gif


My boi cant stand/sit upright yet...my hb advises against letting them do so as it can affect their spinal devt...oso e upper body wt is proportionally heavier than e bottom, so a few sec is ok lar, not for long...after doing a short while for a few days, my boi likes to b carried in e sitting position liao n yeh his legs r strong n likes to stand but i always support his neck with one arm n hold his waist/backside using e other arm...tink of it their feet so small, so better let them progress @ their own pace...

On diapers...mamypoko is good for nite use...ya, got e ammonia smell but not so strong...i actually take e risk to change his diaper before midnite or give a warm towel rub b4 he sleeps deeply...i don like him to sleep w a sticky body...luckily he qite cooperative, can sleep within 30 min or less..:? 6 hrs interval e max for me...

Hello mummies,
I'm back from Penang!! My little one is so so so spoilt by my in-laws back there that all my prior efforts "training" her on her feeding times, etc all haywire liao. Worst, she cries so often now and wants attention or to be carried all the time!

Swimming
Brought Chloe for a swim and she didnt like the swimming float cos its round her neck which she hates. Even when changing her clothes everyday, she will cry if I dont pull away the blouse quickly from her neck. Sigh... so envious to see other babies swimming happily in some of your FB photos.

Passport
Its very convenient to do it online. And I heard they're more lenient with babies' photos too.

Sweaty feet &amp; hands
My girl also has! In fact, I find them cold &amp; sweaty at times.

5-in-1 Vaccinations
May I know if most of you gone to PD or just normal GP?

Work
I'm starting my new job 1 july. Very reluctant to leave baby with infant care but bo bian, everyone told me better to do it now or she'll grow even more attached to me later.

Missycandy,
I still owe you payment for the swim pants. Pls give me your account no. &amp; amount ok. Thanks thanks!!!
 
on diapers,
i'm using mamypoko and huggies ultra dry for baby now. have tried huggies dry comfort too. quite good but sizing for huggies seems small compared to pampers and mamypoko due to bikini cutting therefore let him wear M already.

drypers is not as absorbent and cause rashes on my baby.

koala,
i bring my boy to PD for his vaccination. it's better cos can consult him regarding baby's development and growth etc.

sweaty feet and palms,
my baby has them as well. seems serious and at first i thot he is inheriting his daddy's. but seems like a lot of babies have this problem. my friend's baby has them as well.

gathering,
i am keen but can't confirm yet as i need to know the timing first. gonna bring my boy for his vaccination.
 
sunshinebb,
u can actually order goon fm gmarket, free delivery, no min. amt.

irene,
so after our pumping at home, dun wash, put in the tupperware n bring to ofc then to the freezer?
so even after 1st pump in ofc, oso dun wash, put in freezer?

Standing/flipping/laughing w sounds,
my boy has not achieve any of the above..

diapers,
so far, goon n nepia works well for me.
 
so fed up today when my boss n colleague called n ask me to do some work from home just cos they busy!! N ask if i can return to work earlier *roll eye*

Another colleague then told me tt not v busy mar dunno y they wan to bother me. Can imagine the amt of shit when i go back on 22 june.

Starflower ... Envy ler at least ur hb ask u to be sahm. I cant ...
 
alfafa - hehhehehehehe after posting i actually had to rush to bathe, change kirsten's clothes.. feed her... and go out... hehehehe... yups im thinking of ordering.. already prepared list of items i wana get.. LOL...!

keron&amp;jeris - i read in the baby whisperer to let bb suck their fingers/hands/fist leh... its a way of self soothing... and also exploring... so try not to stop them... =)

agree that mamypoko has this strong smell... very smelly! i cnt ignore! lol!

welcome home koala! hope penang was fun for u!!! especially the food! lol! i miss the food! argHx!!! my dad keeps on saying he wans to bring bb ovr.. but he cnt cope.. and i also wun allow =P hahahaha!

gathering at vivo - to be honest? its a bit out of the way. becos if i take the train. wld have to get off at dhoby. walk to the NEL and take to harbourfront... quite a lot of walking to do... and by the time i rch wil probably be 5pm! LOLOL! if u all wana go vivo do go ahead without me. heh heh heh... another day possible wld be the 17th of June... but its a wednesday... nt sure if everyone cn make it on wednesday... im off that day.. so i dun mind goin to vivo =P nt so much time constraint...

combi stroller - not good ah? my stroller is Latido. ulu cheap brand. lol. but heavy n sturdy. thats one of the reasons we got it. hmmm. wun topple easily but heavy lo. almost 10kg. =( was thinking of getting a combi leh. easier to handle. but also worried very flimsy and wont be able to handle pushing on the roads. this current one can handle bumps and humps quite well... it has suspension. but hb also nag when i said wan to buy lighter one. boooo.
 
hoho - dun worrie. everyone has their own development de. dont stress yrself.. i see the jan thread mummies... some of their babies havent even flipped! so dont worrie.... one of them was saying that their PD says must go step by step... frm flip to sit to crawl to stand to walk... cannot short cut.. becos its a form of coordination as well... wait later on will be confused on coordination and stuff... =P

hahaha. talk abt laugh out loud. kirsten does it... will come suddenly and only once... quite funny.. its not like hahahaha. its like HAH! then smile smile smile...
 
seabreeze, my boss smsed me to go back on 18 May though i delivered on 7 Mar... my hubby insisted that i must take at least 12 weeks before gng back to work, so i told my boss my MIL not feeling well and cant help me to take care of bb yet (she is indeed not feeling well, but not very serious kind). In the end i went back on 1 June, the rest of the maternity leave of 3 weeks will be split in 2 months, meaning i only work on Mon - Wed whereas thurs and fri will be considered maternity leave. Tot that there will be a hill of documents waiting for me, but to my surprise, i managed to clear them in just 1 day's time and not that bad as what described by my boss leh..

hoho03, i also put pump in fridge after pumping in office. bought 2 sets of accessories for the pump, so 1 set is to be used before gng to work, the other set will be packed and go wif me to office. Normally what i did is i will pump and put the used funnels, valves, bellows in a tupperware or ziplock bag, then place in the fridge. I didnt wash at all becos the logic is there, EBM can be stored in fridge for 48 hours.
 
<font color="ff0000">jasminenbc</font> - The 2 doses of rotarvirus got to take within 6 mths or else useless. I nve ask doc how long they last wor
