regardg yaolan
b4 i got yaolan -
initially, i was very much against getting a yaolan. my boy needed to be carried to sleep in the day and whenever I thot he was in deep sleep ald and put him down in his cot/mattress, he wld be awaken. His nap time was thus very short. In order to let him sleep longer in the day, I got to carry him thruout his sleep. Very time consuming and i cld nt do my hsehold chores efficiently.
Then my mum suggested getting a yaolan and she said without a yaolan she will nt help me look aft bb (jokingly). imagine how can she cook and do hsewrk carrying him thruout the day.
i finally gave in and purchase a movable manual yaolan
after i got the yaolan - put it at my mum's plc to try and indeed, like miracle, my boy sleeps longer in the day. he only needs to be rock for a while till he falls asleep. now i have the yaolan at home first and will return it to my mum's plc once i start work in two weeks' time.
my boy does not rely on it. he still sleeps through in his cot at night. now that he is older, he can also sleep on the mattress or bouncer by himself in the day but of cos the duration is shorter than in yaolan.

hi lenny, frm wat u described, brianne needs more patience frm u during this period...hope u don b affected by my description of not using a spoon to feed milk...i once toyed e idea of using a spoon to feed my boi w my ebm, but my mom's idea was tat once milk is exposed to e air, not so good...of course, we use spoons for feeding but i guess wat she says has a pt too...in e end he gets used to feeding ebm using milk bottle...so using e spoon is out...but i guess if u hav exhausted all alternatives...u can consider wat e parent craft suggests...

Hi momz, lez put this issue into perspective...pls don tink putting bb in e yl will make him/her dependent...imagine u hav a cranky bb, he/she in need of sleep, yet he/ she prefers to b rocked/ cradled to sleep...u can use a sling, but how long? U can use a stroller, but how long can u push? E concerns of refusing yl is tat some say may affect their brain/spine etc...but well, how many of us grow up using yl?...We all turn out fine, rite? My broz n i did...see this as ur bb's need...some bbs sleep effortlessly, some like to man ja long long...to me, itz not worth fighting over this issue...
Share w u another trivia, my mil does not like e idea of bb sleeping in e yl for e above reasons...i struggle to let her noe as my boi under my momz care for e time being...i really hope she understands...
YL is invented to help, not as a crutch for parents...oso we don 'yao' non stop, once bb sound asleep, we stop...moreover, e wrapping effect of e cloth gives security to e bb...personally im very practical...as long as this tool helps bb sleep well n e caregiver does not feel overwhelmed by e crankiness, im all for it...
Last but not least, i bought e electric YL to ease my mom's workload...hopefully i will make time to communicate to my mil n move e manual YL back to her place...
btw, my boi sleeps in his cot @ nite...he is oredi used to it frm 1st mth onwards...
Jus my 2 cents thots...

Was at Plaza Sing nursing room yday, wah, its terrible! cramp and old :S
someone was asking me how long i take to pump, erm, depends actually: if right after latch and i pump out the excess, its about 5mins (i guess coz breast muscles already worked out by baby). If i dont latch on and just pump directly, takes about 15mins w massaging. Without massaging, i can take 30mins, so i always massage while pumping to save time. After about 2-3 let-downs, i'm usually empty liao. i think it's due to this constant pumping my left wrist is "broken" and right fingers are all numb "pins & needles" since i can remember liao :S
oh the LX i bought about 4 months ago. at that time was i think $699 w a bundle of goodies. Shud be cheaper now coz technology always moves fast...

try sewing a simple toy for baby?
Say a baby cube? basically 6 pieces of square cloth sewn together. Put polyfilling inside. Take 6 different textured cloth e.g. denim, cotton, felt, wool, fleece ... or same textured is fine too but try to get different prints. no polyfilling? then put some old socks inside to fill up the space. Just for short term use anyway. Or you can fill it up with uncooked green bean?
me still coming in every now and then, just less often now. Itching for new distractions.
researching on my new doll design now. thinking of making a giraffe seeing all this talk in sophia the giraffe. already have a rough idea.

aiiiiiiiii speaking of hb
bedroom activity is pretty much non existent liao
guess we both just lost the energy ... or worse, passion. No one initiate so nothing happened for the longest of time.
am a bit concerned about that
an ex-ex colleague came to visit just now with her hubby, and told me about what happened ewith our other good buddy. She gave birth 7 mths before me; her 2nd. Her hubby started cheating on her during this pregnancy ... don't know how is she now.

he's on ranitidine and has finish up the medication since i dun see any disgusted vomiting expression which i suspect due to the stomach acid so din ask for more.. now he will just easily regurgitate if didnt handle him properly after his feed like carrying him around or put him in my carrier even after an hr of feeding.. hmmm.. as for domperidone, the pd never give him.. maybe will ask him on tat on my next visit which is his second 6 in 1 jab.. i see him like tat i also heartache.. haiz.. seem like if i give him 110ml, 20-30ml or even more will come out one, not even thickener helps lor.. then gotta feed him again shortly.. so tiring for him and me as well.. haiz..

re: electronic yaolan/rocker/swing
I'm also tempted to get one. Mommies using rockers or swings ... just checking, can baby use it for at least up to a year? Saw a couple 2nd hand ones for sale without much details. Are rocks and swings the auto type by default? One last question, from some of the pics the main body looks very small and short, am just wondering if a growing baby can lie down and fall asleep comfortably? My main goal is for her to fall asleep in it during the day time. My girl has long legs so the seat part has to be long.
many many thanks

p3pp3r,
sian right? reflux is one of those things that can go on and on until one day they just outgrow it. i keep mine on both ranitidine and domperidone even when he dun seem to be in pain or regurg that much cos the moment the effect wears off the symptoms start creeping back. if he regurging so much sure got some acid come up and then it's just a matter of time before the pain comes back again. sigh. he also regurg quite a bit - everytime burp will got milk come back up. some more he the kancheong type, so the moment he feels the heartburn he will be even more tense which makes the reflux worse, that's why the ranitidine needs to be continued also.
hubby and i are cool about adjusting his doses as he grows bigger as well - one time we completely forgot about it and wondered how come he became worse. Now we monitor his weight regularly - when he put on more than half kilo then we recalculate his dose liao. If u are happy to do that it is very useful. Cannot all day coop up at home cos of poor bb - have to get out as well otherwise it will be very bad for ur head. Trust me I know

oh dear,
fireangel, yours as well? Feel so bad for both you and pepper. It's always much worse for the mommies than the babies.
Pepper, fireangel,
Must take care of yourself first, both physical and mental health. Too easy to go mad taking care of unwell babies on your own. My heart goes out to you two.
