PMed u my email and hp.

Lenny and Miss83
Can understand how u feel. Whenever I bring my boy to visit my in-laws, they will always want to carry him and when I am trying to let him sleep (I know he cries cos he is sleepy), they will all hover around him, touch his head, his hands and talk to him. Wah lau...like that how to make him sleep??. But I don't really blame them lah, they only see him once a week.

My own mum, is the one who has been training my boy well and am glad I have her to help me look after my boy while I work.

Lamaze toys
I love it and am hopping my boy will luv it too. Bought 2 lamaze toys for him, hope he will learn how to grab toys soon so that he can enjoy it better.
 


sportyger ...

can PM me your email and HP number? the supplier has shipped the stuff over and should arrivei n 2-3 weeks time. so wanna those info to facilitate collection =)
 
Agnes
Haha.....ya so cute. Yesterday Anver also doing the same thing. I gave him milk instead but he put his thumb and the teats side by side in his mounth.
 
agnes
although the book says 5-6hours stretch..but as baby grows, he can sleep longer..caleb so far can reach 7 hours stretch. and even when he wakes up after 5 hours, after drink his milk, he goes back to sleep directly
 
morning mummies...
yday hb n I went out alone n leave Joel with my mum for the whole night. When we were out, i called backed 3 times to check on him somemore till my sis complained. N when we went home, find the hse quite empty n nothing to do, really not used to it. Somemore i woke up automatically at 4+ cos usually that's the time for his feed. So farni..even hb felt weird cos he don't have to wake up n feed him. Then this morning, he told me to bring bb home at night keekee..

Cham also...wonder how i can go overseas for a couple of week w/o seeing him?

<font color="ff0000">kome</font> - ya my hb also say his friend's bb suck till thumb swollen too..not advisable for long term sucking

<font color="ff0000">Jo</font> - what books are good? i have no idea on books leh

miss83, am waiting for such timing after his 6mth milestone..meanwhile i just wait n see. My hubby always tell me not to expect too much too soon...So that I will not be disappointed if it doesn't happen soon.
 
Mummies,

My ex-boss is recommending me another book by Gina ford.. i am just starting to read this. i hope to find solution and a chance to retrain Bree.

I am trying to keep my sanity and hang on till i can get a chance to retrain and set things right. i hope i am still in one piece by then.

Thanks mummies...
 
vernice,

For yr own reading or for Joel? Baby whisperer is a good read. What to expect for first year also good.

For joel,
U may want to start with board books like Eric Carle's books or cloth books from Lamaze. Just buy 2 or 3 first.. See his preference first
 
jo
yes I'm look for story book for babies too..with lots of pictures..so eric carle's is good? and what is the story about? where to buy and how much?
 
miss83,

U wan to check out amazon.com? Im consolidating orders so can save on shipping costs. I think one eric carle board book is about $13. There is this series,"brown bear brown bear, what can u see?" Got polar bear and panda bear too.. Very interesting coz' the books got rhyming words.
 
does any of ur bb can recognise people and house. My baby is taken care by my maid at my mum's place over the weekdays. But 1 or 2 days will bring her home or to my mil place. She started to cry after entering the house. Pian chui~~ She just started to recognise envoirnment and people liao.
 
miss83 and jo,

I got this eric carle series on "brown bear, ...", very good books to invest in. I read to marissa and she enjoys it.

miss83,
many shopping malls sell Lamaze, like Robinson, Isetan etc, just go to the toy sections. Those that I bought can be played from 0mths onwards. Some of the Lamaze toys are award winners (they will have a label on the box stating that it is an "Award Winner").

Prosper
Yes,my baby can recognise faces and environment. When my sis-in-law came back from overseas to visit him, he 'bian chui' when she carried him. And when I try to let him sleep in my Mom-in-law's room yesterday, he also 'bian chui' when I try to put him down. Also, he will look around for my mum when I carry him at my mum's plc.
 
srumpee

What FM is your baby taking? My boy was on NAN HA previously and his poo was green too. But when I switch to Friso Gold, it became mustard yellow now.

Re: Flipping
My boy also hasn't been able to flip, the most he can do is turn to his side abt three-quarter when he's lying on his back.

Re: Grabbing
My boy can't grab toys very well, like I tried to let him hold Sophie &amp; chew instead of his fist, he will grab for 3 seconds and fling it away

Re: Drooling
He has been "playing" with his saliva alot, accumulating lots of them &amp; spit out. Had to wash 2-3 hankies a day cause they are wet with his saliva

Re: Sleeping
He has been sleeping through the night from 7.30pm to 6-7am and we give him a dream feed between 10.30 to 11.30pm

Re: Feeding
He has been taking 120-140ml in the day for 5 feeds and we up to 150ml for his dream feed. He will start stuffing his fingers in his mouth with the teat when he don't want to drink anymore.

Janbebe...e cool weather helps lar...i finished feeding him ard 3+am so busy reading e entries...some bbs a bit timid...they still not so sure wat they can do w their hands...u can model how to grab or bring e toy nearer to their hands...after a while when they feel itz safe they will try...now my boi seems to like looking down @ his little toes n ahem...his little 'friend'...bbs r very curious...give them some time to venture out...

BB whisperer most commonly found in Kino Taka...oso hav BB whisperer for toddlers...I find Gina Ford a bit technical...Tracy Hoggs more palatable to me...

Lenny...we hear ur tiredness...Brianne is how old now? Shld b able to sleep @ least 3hrs straight ya...? Even if i bf my boi, he can sleep 3-4hrs...so mayb she is a light sleeper...? Do u install air con in bedrm cos tat can cut down e noise level...ya guys qite chor lor...i get qite mad when my hb wanz his hp ring w a loud ringtone...esp when u try so hard to put bb to sleep...mayb u may wan to remind e guys in ur household to b gentler a bit @ nite...otherwise all will suffer...esp if bb wakes up easily...

As for in-laws...i hav learnt tat everyone has their own ways of taking care of e bb...im not sure if ur in laws r open minded enuf to take in new ideas frm bks tat we read...watever it is, one galfrien told me tat we shld learn to let go n not worry if bb is used to their care...wait they blame us for hindering e bonding to take place...see it as giving urself e needed break; oso bb less clingy on u...onli step in when bb is crying inconsolably...

Prosper...yes bbs r learning to recog e envt n their caregivers...my boi 'behaves' in front of strangers but shows his bawling true colours when back to his caregivers...he shuttles bet my mil/mom's place...he likes to look @ pictures with little children or items tat give off light...or toys...itz better to alternate e caregivers on my side so tat itz not so taxing; besides got to make him get used to them...or else i cant work w ease of mind...

<font color="0000ff">Hmm...jus got a Q...anyone here starts a BB education/endowment insurance for ur child now? Which one *Insurance Co. r worth considering...?</font>
 
prosper
Oli's been taking NAN HA since birth, and his poo is dark green bcos of the veg in the FM. so dun have to worry
happy.gif
 
Jasmin, does ur boi take naps in e morn or afternoon...? If he can sleep 7pm-6+am straight, tat is such a blessing for u...! Mayb can share w sleep deprived momz how ur bb achieves it.

Greenish Poo despite FM...hhmm could it b due to e high lactose content in tat brand...? MY boi oso a bit greenish poo...hr i do mixed feed (bm/fm) so i suspect itz due to e higher proportion of foremilk content...
 
hi mummies,

after reading how much your babies drink, i start to worry about mine. he is only taking 90ml, every 3hrs (sometimes 4hrs), anything more he will reflux. also noticed he is losing his fats, arms and legs not so firm to touch already
sad.gif
he is now 15weeks old is that too soon to lose his baby fats?
 
prosper
No worries, we all learn together

tusky
My boy seldom nap in the day, prob abt 2-3 times of 30mins but sometimes, he can nap for 1-1.5hrs. That's why he tend to want to sleep at 7+8pm. He started off with waking at 3-4am for a feed but after a week, he does wake up at that time (due to habit, I think) but if we ignore him, he will soothe himself back to sleep till morning.

We bought a saving/education endowment plan from Great Eastern.
 
about books, I read to him "the hungry caterpillar" by Eric Carle in the day and "good night moon" by Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd before his bedtime. Baby loves to look at the pictures :D
 
heehee back from lunch.. heehee everyone back again!! hahah =]

jasmin: yup yup same same =] heehee so at least i'm not too worried abt him not able to flip yet...

prosper: yup the fm will change poo poo color but heard it is ok..

Tusky: Heard of Manulife?? Canadian insurance company...There is a plan that is very very good for babies... premuim saving is limited for only 10 yrs, and the amt that u saving can be taken out for her child's edu (uni) and after that every year there is a yearly cash coupon for the rest of ur child's life... and the protection is for ur child's whole life instead of endowment which the coverage will ends when policy mature....
 
scrumpee,

My bb also dont like to grab anything but my fingers, hair or my specs.. give her toys, she not interested and if she does grab anything else, she puts it into her mouth.. super troublesome. Worse now, she likes to fidget a lot when i carry her... super difficult ot handle her nowadays.
 
miss83,

120 ml at max? Cannot be lah.. my bb was taking 120ml since she was 7 weeks old. Now she is taking between 130ml to 160ml per feed, depending on how soon she feels hungry and her mood for bottle feeding that day. she drinks on 3 hrly in the day with an 8 hr blk, i.e. 6 to 7 feeds per day.
 


mangogal,

Cant weigh bb here.. would let u know my bb C's weight when i am back in SG. Hee... but she is very heavy for me.. wrist want to break liao..
