haha.. your girl so cute!!! mine too will make this face when wanna cry.. *sayang*

re: electric yao lan

I agree with all mummies using them. It's like a miracle. I initially have the manual one but it always takes a long time before my girl goes to sleep. Yao until hand very tired..
My mil then bought for me the electric one. wow! 5 mins she sleep liao. Amazing!

Mangogal, no worries that caroline will be dependent if u don't use it everytime she refuses to sleep. Only when she's tired but making fuss and not sleeping. Must see situation lor. My girl still able to sleep in cot and mattress at night.

Re: gathering
I'm interested to join in too! will we be having lunch if meeting at 12pm?
happy.gif
will try to arrange to go down as bishan is quite near my place. looking forward to meeting all mummies!

missycandy,

aiyo, y she sulking leh. so cute. hehehe. don't worry i also laugh when my boy pouts/sulks, altho at times i also tell him off cos when he does that it's cos he is severely grumpy!
 
Queenie, pepper,
Ya... the other day during our rare rare coffee session out on our own (ok, we substitute a dinner for coffee and cake cos we have absolutely no chance for that now!), hubby and myself were talking about kids vs no kids. Though we wanted really wanted the kids but it is like if we had no kids, we won't have to try to rush back to my mum's place by 7.30pm everyday to pick them up so that there will be time to play with them before they sleep.

alfafa,
Other than no energy, fatigue, lack of passion, we still have a huge light-bulb (aka my #1) sleeping in the same bed as us. No need to talk about anything already :p

missycandy,
Kirsten is so cute! haha... my baby also bi chui before crying. My parents were so amused by it cos my #1 didn't do this last time.
 
Hi ayambunny,

no la. i am not offended la.. diff ppl has diff ways and methods..

for me.. i am very much against anything that has not scientific base which maks me pretty rebellious to my mum and any elderly ppl who tried to tell me how to handle bb without proof.

i told my MIL and her nosey sister off as well. politely of course... if they trigger me or shove whatever they think at my face.. they will sure kena from me.. last time i heck care cos they make stupid remarks at me, but now if its directed at my bb n my parents, i won't let them get away with it.... kekeke...
 
alfafa...talk abt bedroom romps...i now staying w my parents...end up hb n mil come to visit me n boi boi...will resume e weekend going back arrangement when i get back to work...i so look forward, @ least i hav 4 solid nites w him to spend couple time together...
happy.gif
...@ my parents' place, bb comes back on fri nite...

dunno if i sexually deprived...sometimes i even dream of it...hahah lolol...luckily my hb's drive going sunset dirn liao...not siao on but he looks forward too...i so blessed tat he can tahan...sometimes he peeks into those pix w scantily clad ladies...i simply say go on lar...bb caring does take up a lot of our time n energy...no time for passion...i really admire parents w >1 kid...muz really make couple time a priority...

Im on this book called Mom's needs...Dad's needs...by Willard F Harley Jr...talks abt all these stuff...very relevant...can identify a lot of e.g.s in e book...will share a little bit next time...no matter wat...e love w ur hb muz take precedence...not all of our hbs tat understanding...some even jealous of e way u care for his very own son/daughter...

Hi Lenny, thks for ur comment...All momz here qite lite hearted...so really look forward to reading ur entries...very therapeutic too...hav problems, always hav someone out there empathising w u n offering soln...3 cheers for Mar thread....!
happy.gif


Alfafa, u give me e impression of a Proverbs 31 lady hor...so versatile n busy w every min...but hor...make time for urself k...then u hav energy to continue caring for Grace n Hb...
happy.gif


Missy candy...i like ur gal's eyes! She looks really sweet in this pose even though any minute she is gonna cry...
happy.gif


Those moms whose bb hav reflux or regurg problems...itz indeed very challenging to care for them...h'r in a Christian pt of view...we will not b given things beyond wat we can bear...difficulties / sufferings r wat we as humans do best to avoid...hr, every trying moment has a purpose behind...my boi muz try our best to not make him cry @ any pt of e day, then evening, he wont get tummy ache...not easy but this encourages us to put more effort in engaging him...

Jus bought some soft books for him...gonna try on him soon...btw, ani1 bought flashcards for ur bb for reading...besides e GD...ani1 can recommend cheaper alternatives?
For those who had tried b4 w ur other kids, do u find it useful? OR is it another KS attempt? Personally, i like e interaction but really wonder if obj teaching is more useful than card flashing...
happy.gif
feel free to share ur thots...no offence to those who attest to using Flashcards to teach...i like to hear ur views too!
happy.gif
 
Misscandy,
You gal so cute, and look so poor thing going to cry...

Kris,
Have just email you my transfer details from my yahoo mail. Pls do check.
 
thanks all! hurhur. i think she was sleepy and wanted to sleep le. so show the face. LOL. she usually will cry when she is sleepy. but i guess she has learnt the new expression?

asura - ya.. looks changing le... hair also dropping... hahaha.. im still contemplating if i shld cut some of the hair and keep it... but need to cut at least 1inch or more lo...

tuskywoolie - like what alfafa has mentioned b4, there are those flashcards frm msia.. much cheaper version than GD... i think it works fine as well? i only got the maths dots kit, black & white infant cards & picture cards.. so far ive only been showing black & white cards... she does express interest... she will stare at it... but i will flash one for ard 30secs and keep on telling her the object on the card repeatedly... few times a day for ard 2 days... then i change another card...
 
lenny,

ok not to force bb to take bottle if u are not working but that would also mean that everywhere u go, bb got to go too. Cant have personal time out leh.. Actually did the psychologist explain what is the meaning of force? to stuff the teat into her mouth? COs what i do is introduce the bottle to her by letting her taste the drops dripping from the teat and wait until she happy to take from it, normally she would start licking and then finally suckle when she is hungry. And during the whole feeding, i chat with her telling her that eventually she need to take the bottle, just 2 a day for now so be good. If she dont want, then i try again later when she shows that she want to drink milk.
 
missycandy,

I think my gal also dropping hair. Here dont have infant hair cut, so i would just leave be.. Let's hope she dont be too ugly with her balding head. U want to keep the hair for taimaobi arh? Was tempted but felt it was too expensive so we got our bb a gold coin from singapore mint for the year of ox.. hhaa.. figure that at least the value of that would increase...
 
Lenny there mus be a way to make ur gal drink milk frm e bottle...don despair...somehow e bb will one day wan to feed...now try other means 1st...
happy.gif


Missycandy, i saw e Malaysia version in one of e BP threads...is e content of e flashcards Spore related...? Otherwise not so consistent. Saw another offering in www.flashcards.com. They hav all except Chi...i tink will wait n c 1st, if bb not interested, all these wasted...
happy.gif


alfafa, i oso use e yl in e day, sometimes early evening...u really feel liberated...esp e time freedom w e electric ones...H'r e initial phase my boi a bit resistant...u need to b near him n leave only when sound asleep...i oso use a pacifier to make him sleep...he will spit out when not necessary...

<font color="aa00aa">So our workshop is confirmed going ahead w Speaker, she will bring projector &amp; everything. Mummies, i'm not sure how she is going to demo the practise part, in case we need to put baby on table to practise, perhaps bring along a thick towel to cushion baby? Alternative is leave baby in stroller where baby can see us (hopefully not their sleeping time) :p

All are also welcome to go swimming in the kids pool downstairs or go the playground w #1s :p</font>

<font color="aa00aa">As for food, i figure we can just get a mini buffet which i can confirm the total pax 3 days beforehand (so we can still add if more hubbies are coming). So to make it easy for all, just add $10 per head for lunch will do when u transfer.

Mummies just coming for our gathering &amp; not the workshop, just come look for us at the function room fm 12.30pm onwards
happy.gif
I have informed the guardhouse we're having a baby party. So how, anymore vendors to invite for our shopping pleasure :p kekeee </font>
 
Hi Starflower, just a thot, mummies can consider using yoga mat for the baby signs practise session

This week I started work and somehow bb like estranged from me liao. I wasn't able to settle her to sleep...sigh...
 
i shld be home all night... lol... tmr also cn... forgot my cleaner coming tmr morning ard 11.. she'l be here til 3... usually when she is here, we wil leave her to clean up then we go out for lunch and walk a bit...
 
re: bedroom activity
Ya, I must agree tt it has gone down down down. I dont even have the mood.. We woman really r at the losing end. Was reading the newspaper and it says tt we tend to b more ignorant on financial matters and sacrifice 11 years on average to look after our children. Im also worried abt "outside temptations" especially now no figure, no looks, no boobs. Haha..
 
Plus no time for any couple time. It's a test for our relationship. My hubby was suggesting we should get away at least once a week but I also cant bear to leave my darling boy w my mother. I super envy my frens who are still swinging single. Motherhood is indeed a great Transformation!
 
hmmm... we still have bedroom activity... though im nt really keen but i dont also dread it la... jus that find it a bit what with Kirsten lying in her playpen nxt to us... hahaha! anyway, i went for premarital course at church... luckily HB went with me... becos it really taught us a lot!!! and yes, hubbies/wives shld be put b4 parents &amp; kids... so glad we went for it... so HB can be a better hubby.. kekeke
 
Asura,

thx for the post on bottle feed. we did try to let the milk droplets into her mouth before putting teat in.. also tried to stroke the area between her nose n lips to get her to open her mouth like we use our nipple to stroke..

she will cry with milk in her mouth and choke and vomit then vigorously shake her head sometimes with mouth closed to avoid teat.. if not she will use tongue to push out the teat the close her mouth.

all these acions with screaming and crying then sometimes, milk will spit out from nostrils..
sad.gif


by means of continuing after all these reactions is like forcing her to take it.. haiz..

i also know i lost my freedom totally..
 
jo: the last time i saw u at sassy's place, u look great leh...where got no figure, no looks...think i'm the one..used to fit in 'm' n now 'L' also gt problem...so difficult to shed...no clothes to wear...wana go find job also scared get rejected due to figure...xianz...called up my slimming centre n they say 6mths after then can start..now like stranded...only on strict dieting then can...exercise also no time...ppl say looking after bb can lose weight but haiz i think i'm e odd one out...plus i look after all by myself...
 
its like she is going thru a bad experience..

after that, no one can calm her down until i took over. i had to latch her on.. at this time, she will stare at me and scream as she suckle vigorously.. n sessions like this.. she will sucle for 1 hr then calm down n fall asleep.

even after she woke up after such session... she will refuse to be carried by anyone except for me. she will be very sticky..

normally, she will allow other family members to attend to her for an average of 30 mins to max 1 hr before she cries for me.

i really lost my freedom.
 
re:bedroom activity

we did managed to catch up while Bree is asleep, of course not as often as prior being parents though.

re: hubby cheating..
sian man.. preggers liao still cheat on wife.. i just believe the world is round.. what goes around comes around..Retribution may be direct or indirect..
 
asura,

forgot to mention... normally when Bree is latched on, on and off she will look at me n smile then continue she suckle, then her hand will hold on to my clothes or the centre part of my bra or my thumb with her legs kicking playfully..

haiz.. when i see her like this.. my heart melts.
 
Missycandy
Huhhh....got sms me before....oh dear.....me so forgetful. Thanks for sending to me again

re:bedroom activity
Actually i abit sian to do it lar. Very tired lor + hb also tired but sstill want it, so fast fast finish only. No romantic lor
sad.gif


Jo
You look more beautiful and got big breast somemore, really much more better than me lor. Now my tummy still big big and flabby flabby, breast getting smaller almost don't have like that. Think i more worried than anyone of you that hubby cannot resist outside temptation.

We only did maybe once or twice a month only lor.

Jo, what your hubby said is correct, do try to take time for both of you only without baby. This will help to maintain or even improve couple relationship. I do understand that you do not bear to leave baby to others but hubby must be in 1st place follow by baby lor. Especially ypu now has only 1 child, more easier to spare some time out. For me already 2 very difficult lor, don't think my mum has the capability to look after 2 naughty little fellow.
 
lenny,
I love to see my bb latched on too! Same as yrs.. really can melt my heart when he smiles and suckles

kome,
*blush blush* Thanks..hehee... Im flying to the moon now! Haha.. U where got tummy? U r so skinny!

Ya, I know.. SO next week will find a day for couple dating
 
pinkdemoness,

Huh? Dun go slimming centre lah.. I always feel tt they are not effective, just want to cheat money. My sister taught me not to eat any rice or noodles and I really lose some weight. Maybe u want to try it? It's very tiring to look after bb on yr own hor? Im in the same boat as u..
 
jo: ya lor..oh my slimming is existing package since last time...so might as well utilise it...sure, will try e carb-free diet...very tiring esp when u tot bb slp le n u gg to fall aslp, he wakes up n get cranky...hopefully e nightmares for us will turn to beautiful dreams soon...
 
erm i remember some of u all mentioning the fitti diaper promo.. is it still on? i wan to order M for Kirsten... is there a web?
 
missycandy, u'll need to fill out their form to order: send your email to [email protected] and the promo ends 30August so still can stock up (M44s or L38s, all same $10/pack. Order 6 packs for free delivery)

=) mine finishing, gonna order more too. Works well for me, can tahan from 12am to 6am, thumbs up.
 
missycandy: have u tried? cos i find tat the rubber always cause very deep marking on elixir's thigh as compared to Mamy poko, pampers n nepia...dunno if its too tight...but absorbency wise, good...i only let him use during evening before i change him to mamy poko for the night...starflower, how abt keenan? gt the markings anot?
 
Jo,

You look fine leh... me going back work soon n can't fit into my previous clothes.... wonder when I can lose my extra 5-6kgs and the swimming float on my tummy.

Any mummies on for gathering at tampines this Tuesday for lunch n shopping??
 
pinkdemoness,
i have the same problem with Fitti M size too.
Got markings n the waist band sometime make my boy uncomfortable.

my mom prefer nepia n goon, she say softer.

i have not tried mamy poko, now watsons got sale, tempted to buy.

but i still got nepia, 2s n 2m... :p
 
Dear Mummies,

Saw the discussion on the YL. Just want to share my experience. I am also a March 09 Mummy. My son is coming to 3mths old.

Initially, I didn't want to let him sleep in YL but I gave in when he was about 3 weeks old. As he started to get real cranky in the evening. Furthermore, he always perspired when we let him sleep in bb cot at night. Of coz, without aircon as we were afraid that he will catch a cold. Haha!

I bought the motorised gadget for the YL but it conked out within a mth of use. Didn't get a replacement. So have been manually yao-ing my son to sleep. Now he even sleeps in YL at night.

He has gotten so used to it that when we don't yao, he will show frustration. When he is tired, he will make noise to make us bring him to YL to yao instead of falling asleep himself. But luckily, he will be able to sleep in my arms when we are outside.

Really a headache as he is starting infantcare on tues. Infantcare only has bb cots. I am kinda worried that he won't be able to sleep. Guess he will need to get used to it. The teachers there should know how to handle him bah.

Actually, I have another headache. My son sleeps very early, around 6 plus or 7 plus in the evening. Wakes up for milk at 12 or 1 plus in the morning and 4 plus. Then he will wake up at 5 plus and refuse to sleep! He will want to play. So I also have to wake up super early! Really duno wat to do.... Anyone can help?
 
Caitou,
May I ask which infant care your baby going to, is this your first child? I will be sending my girl to infant care next week and am worried... so many qns in my mind about how they will take care of her. Will ask them those qns when I pay tomorrow.

Any other mummies sending their bb to infant care?
 


mummies
may i know how much ur bb drinks now? my bb is 2.5months..now drinking 120ml..at night he usually can sleep 5 hours stretch..but this whole wk can only last for 4 hours then ask for milk..i wonder if i should top up his milk to 135ml..during the day sometimes he cries after finishing his milk..dunno maybe not full yet..but afraid too soon to top up.

and some bad news also..i just have flu..got to wear mask to prevent my bb kena also..really pray he's strong enough and wont catch my virus
