starflower, very stressful to pump during work right. I am also like you, hope to reach the 6 months mark but its a real challenge man.

hoho, I am pumping twice at work now, cant afford to pump more often.
 


Kris, since Dots in Flamingo OOS, i cant think of other design.

can any of mummies, tell me wat designs to get. I lost the design thread.
 
pumpkin seed

sending this msg on behalf of KOME(kanna blocked by her office so she can't post here).
she doesn't have your contact can you PM her.
 
prosper: How is your attempt to reduce your ms?

hoho: I pump once at work.

starflower,sportyger: Same same. Also trying to persevere til the 6th month mark then shall stop pumping liao.
 
lipstar, irene
mum did warn me abot bb head flat..but hubby didn't want to put pillow..now he reject
sad.gif
 
lipstar, me too, think can go 6th month is good enough liao. Think I will also stop pumping then.

pumpkin, oooh the bag and purse looks so nice, me tempted to get also.

sportyger: Every day also feel like giving up, especially after the particularly bad blocked ducts I kena. I actually kena blocked ducts several times liao, but usually one or 2 pea sized lumps. 2 days ago, that blockage was the entire left side of the left breast. Painful until sit down do nothing also painful. Last night hubby helped me apply hot towel and massage. Every touch is followed by ooooooooowwwwwwwww and tears...
 
lipstar, I know what you mean, I also kena blocked ducts before but I think not as bad as yours. Did you get mdm rokiah to come? Besides that there is also the time and effort to pump during work and lugging all the stuff to work every day. I also feel like giving up! Lets jiayou together!
 
pumpkin, ok, sms or call me.
You paid me already. In fact, you transfer $2.60 more than needed. I've sms you about it. I'll pay you back when we meet.
 
ST, any remedy to solve the flat head? he dun sleep in yao lan, if not i think sleep yao lan, the head will be rounder.

I hope i can preserve 6 mths also.. keep telling myself 2.5 mths to go, after that, when he start solid, then dun need to pump so much le.
I din go see if my ss has drop anot, cos i feel stress if i go measure nowadays. so i just pump and store. Still enough for him to drink total bm. told myself if really drop and not enough then supplement with FM.
In fact, sometimes i'm feel so sick and tired of pumping.
 
Pinksorbet, hopes your boy is back to ur comfort breasts to latch on, hope it is just a phase and he will be back to bm, dun be too stress

Hi bluebell,
To prevent yr bb from pulling her shirt, why not let her wear romper? cannot pull already loh... kekeke...

My BB Elva had her 5-in-1, Pneumococcal and Rotavirus vaccine together and she also got fever on the 2nd day and her thighs where she had the injections warm warm. Then 3 days later, she got rashes on her thighs.

Hi Daphne,
I do craddle baby to sleep then place in cot; she can be cranky when she can't fall sleep by herself.
 
Idlecat, eh I think the jab u given to ur baby is abit too much for her little body, you shld spread out the vaccine...it is better in this way
 
mangogal: if got enough kakis, i dun mind..hehe...majiam the rajah inn..go 2 rounds...

btw rotavirus vaccine is how much on e average? seems like most mummies giving..me due to budget, only can give elixir the free ones tat is given at polyclinic..haiz, i'm a lousy mummy...

feeling so vexed cos just rcv news tat hb gotta be posted overseas for a yr...i'll be all alone in spore le..dun think i wana go along due to e current swine flu...been so distant ever since elixir is born..sad yet nothing can be done...think i'll just do my part to be a gd mummy to elixir..n hope hb dun stray cos caught him before with china woman..xianz...think my marriage haywire le..dunno can survive anot...plus i nt working now, everything so tough yet always wana gather with all mummies cos so much fun chatting n catching up...else stay hm 24/7, i will go crazy..sorry, dun mind my ranting hor cos no listening ear...think due to my frequent crying during preg, now elixir quite cranky at times...so envy all of u with gd hubbies...paoseh, dun mean to wash dirty linen here but no outlet to vent my frustrations out...helllpppp....
 
*hugs* pinkdemoness..
just remember we are here for you. got unhappiness, it's better to say out rather than carrying the whole burden on your own
 
Pinkdemoness
*HUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS* Dun think so much ok....

Hoho,
I pump 2x @ work BUT will have to depend on schedule...if it clashes with meetings then have to either delay to go home then pump....=(

Milk Supply
Have started taking 4 fenugreek pills instead of 2 previously & it helps......
 
st, my boy used to be like tat too, so wat i do is to go over to the other side where he is lying down n he will turn to see me then remain in that posn le...ooops my boy sleeping with me on e bed n sometimes yaolan..if cot then i dunno le..hth..
 
pinkdemoness, dont feel bad about ranting here, we are all here to give each other support and be your listening ear. Actually why dont you consider going along with your hubby cause it might not be a good idea to be separated for such a long period of time. btw where is he going to be outstation?
Try to communicate more with your hubby. I mean with a baby now, I also feel there is tension between me and hubby sometimes because of different views and perspective regarding baby. We are also learning and adjusting our lifestyle because of baby marissa. Hope things will get better for you and your hubby. Take care gal.

pinkdemoness
a big hug from me n tristan! i know is tough on you.. we can always go for cashless meetups
happy.gif
we are all here to listen to ur woes. Actually , i feel that ever since tristan is with me n hb we do have conflicts now and then. to me is just a phase lor. slowly when our babies grows older our r/s will improve. this is what i see from my sil n bro. u are really a good wife n a good mommy ! it takes alot of courage to forgive when one is caught straying outside. i agree with sportyger, u should consider go along with ur hb. at least u wont be so bored in sg..

grace
im starting to take fenugreek pills since ytd. hope it helps me. im lazy to make the mother's milk tea.. haha

re: dim sum
im tempted but the promo ends this month .. hehe this month exceed my budget liaos. u all go ahead ya..

pinkdemoness
oh ya i cant rem how much is rotavirus. but is really up to u. i believe rotavirus is more needed for babies who have other siblings who goes to sch, child care etc.
im considering rotavirus for the next appt on july as my niece goes to infant care and we are staying tgt.
u can check out clinics that have CDA Nets Payment Service. at least 50% of it is paid by govt. FYI, Tampines PD baby n child now have this service.
 
st, mine sometimes will move to his left but he prefer his right. wonder why like that.

pinkdemoness, i also agree with sportyger that you should go oversea with him. try to draw closer the relationship. Now with a baby, and as a mommy, we tend to set our priority to the baby rather than the hubby.
so we should try not to neglect them too much also.
(although i myself is gulity of it)
 
pinkdemoness, read about ur rants..hugs to u. dun say u r a lousy mum k..all mummies are the best in their babies' eyes. we must not judge or compare with others in terms of what additional 'wants' we can give. as long as we meet their 'needs', babies will be satisfied.

FYI, 1 oral dose of rotarix is $100 at SBCC.
 
OMG I just busted like 100+ dollars buying fabric, ribbons, lace and all kinds of hair embellishments for my BB hair accessories and taggies projects. I better make sure I make it happen! Heng heng found a fellow hobbyist to share the loot if not I'll be spending close to 200 for sure.

Now logging off ebay and etsy liao. Damn addictive sia.


:-(

Pinkdemoness,
I can feel your pain
*big big hugs*

rotavirus is $90 per dosage at my nearby gp. she is v gentle w gracie so we're v happy to have come to this gp. her 5-in-1 is also the cheapest around.
