Inya
Welcome..aiyo depression ah? Hope u are better now.

Botak
I am going to cut my boy botak after the Gym class on 24 Jul. That's exactly his 4mths. Actually can't bear to shave him but his hair dropping and quite patchy at the back, so decided to shave him so will grow more evenly.

Lipstar
your blockducts sound really bad. But u are in good hands, Mdm Rokiah will clear for you. Do prepare to have a milkbath and lots of cleaning up though. The milk will splash all over.

All the botak babies so cute. Irene, your boy seems quite big. How heavy is he? My boy is 8.55 at 3mths 3weeks. PD said he big size.

Solid
Asked PD today when can I start puree, he told me for Formula fed baby, can try on the 5th mth. BF baby to start on the 6th mth. He said that when giving puree to baby for the 1st time, start with 1 or 2 tsp to let him taste and monitor if he is allergic to it. Give the same puree for a week before changing. Then after that, can start to replace one milk intake with puree (either breakfast, lunch or dinner).

I already bought a blender, hope to make some nice puree for baby.

teddybb

need to clear as i'll only pump once in office...</font>
 
Hello again! Thanks so much for the warm welcoming. I feel much better already

Queenie
Thanks for the invitation. I'm really interested in joining. just need to check with my moving schedule. we're doing some renovation and got delayed (of course!) and we're hoping we can move by end of this month!!! my depression was not only for the baby but also for the noise work from renovation - was really really really tough with crying baby.

miss83
my baby started talking around 5am for 10 to 15 min. after she sleep back by herself. really surprised !!! she always need my breast to sleep, which I'm now trying to break this habit but really tough.

Today, I've tried to give bottle but failed again. sigh.... she cried and cried and cried and finally I just gave my breast. Tonight, I plan to hide myself and let my helper to give bottle. Hope this works. wish me a good luck!
 
Inya
my baby used to be like that u know..cried everytime we gave him bottle..but i decided to stop latching, day 2 he took the bottle peacefully
happy.gif


me too..me too..my baby never sleeps by himself..always need me to pat his back but yesterday he falls asleep after talking..but this morning he cried so i finally have to pat him again (makes me so sleepy now)..hopefully next time he'll fall asleep on his own again!
 
sun - the cost for the shaving service is $16 at hwa xia...
happy.gif


sportyger - i understand wat u mean by not bearing to...but hor i see kyan's hair like so outta shape i tink its best to jus shave it off so its neater and cleaner...but the problem is those cradle cap still there...hmm...i wonder when the cradle cap will all fall off? *waiting waiting...*

irene/minnie - both your boys have clean shaven heads...not like mine, still got that cradle cap there...

welcome inya
happy.gif

as for yr bb, at least he drinks...now my boy rejects milk totally, breast or bottle both he don't want...v jialat...its a struggle to feed him...

sometimes realli stuck on what to do...sighz
 
pinksorbet
maybe it's time to intro solid?
but..at first my bb also refused both breast n bottle (early stage of nipple confusion) after that he only rejected bottle..
 
reverie, my boy will bang his hands and legs on the matteress also... think this a natural way to let us know in advance that he/she wants milk ba...

Scrumpee, my boy is 7kg at 4months 6days old. He look big size i think, or maybe look big becos of close up shot...

pinksorbet, he got the cradle cap also.. but a bit only.. now clearing up le...
 
miss83- ya jus now my mil fed him the brown paste powder mixed with EBM and water, v diluted though....he took it through spoon...but i think gotta introduce gradually...its still not the main food now...he still gotta thrive on milk...

i think he seriously hates milk or drinking through bottle/breast...last time breast works magically for him while he refuses to drink or sleep...now even breasts don't work...

BIG sigh...

Irene - wonder when the cradle cap will clear...its abit irksome to the eyes...lol
 
pinksorbet: do we need to make appt with hwa xia for the shave??or walk in can le?

my boy also rejecting milk these days...suck a while then became playful...play with the teat...but i always manage to make him finish the milk...he's very playful...sucking his fingers till saliva drips onto my arms..put bib but he hates it..
 
hi mommies,
would you recommend pacifier for yr babies? my mom suggested today to get my boy a pacifier cos' he has been sucking his thumb a lot these days. We tried to pull his thumb out and he'll struggled and cried loudly. So he win lor!! What i'm afraid is hv'g problems of him kicking off tis bad habit in e long run. Also it's so not 'man' of him with a pacificer la!! :p
 
babydreams: think most of us here had started giving bb pacifier since they were 1-2 mths ba...i think wats most impt is to be able to soothe the baby n not let him get cranky or cry his lungs out so i dun think pacifier is tat bad afterall...like wat starflower once said, we also grew up with pacifiers, arent we doing fine as well...but then agn, most of our babies will only take them when cranky n spit them out when asleep...hope this helps..
 
Babydreams, HB and I gave pacificer to our girl coz we don't want her to addicted to sucking her thumbs. Intially we also afraid of giving pacificer to her for the same reason. But we have been told that kicking off the habit of sucking thumb is more difficult than that of the pacifier... For pacifier, you can simply just throw away and the most she cries for a few days. But we can't just throw away her thumbs, can we? So for this reason, we gave her the pacifier. Oh we only give her the pacifier when we want her to sleep. So far so good...
 
Babydreams
I gave pacifier to my boy in the 1st week he was born. But he was never addicted to it, take it only when he wants to sleep and will spit out once he ko. But for the past few weeks, he started to reject pacifier and finds comfort by sucking his fingers. I just let him suck cos I read somewhere that this is a way they self-soothe, we should let them be. I am sure they will kick the habit when they grow older
 
waaa!! so many mommies having the same problem ar.. hopefully itz just a phase nia n it will go away fast lor... i really feels like just gave birth n on thru the first two month of ordeal le.. T.T

welcome inya.. goodie! do join us for the gatehring.. itz really fun.. =)
 
Alfafa

prosper - congrats la babe! so happie for u! hahaha! enjoy the time with Kayle! i miss her so much nwadays! initially when i went back to work, i was okie. but now feel upset everyday.
sad.gif
btw wads nanabom?
 
alfafa, perhaps indecisive but what to do, they are all so nice :p Wow, no need twitter, I have updates here on my movements lol
Agree about the organic stuff. I prefer it but I won't go all out just to have it either. Moderation is the key!

Collected the Bebepod Plus today, So happy! Quennie, wink wink
 
Prosper what is na na bom???

Continuing to what alfafa said. It's so exciting to start solids BUT.... only do it when baby is ready. Ours are one of the earliest in this March thread so don't feel pressurized or anything. I met a mum whose baby is 6 months and still refuses solids. She looks great and PD gave her thumbs up. So there is really no hard and fast rule as to when. Guidelines do say 6 months.
 
Pumpkin,
opps sorry. Was typing out my thoughts this afternoon. Heeeee

Teddybaby,
ok then you probably feel more attached to the new building than me. I really hated that "bird cage" statue in front. Yikes.

Annt,
NO WAY. You were???!!! Why is it that I don't remember seeing you? If you are one year my senior that made you my "Sec 2" when I first got in. My goodness, I will always remember my Sec 2s cos you guys were bloody fierce man. And my batch was so playful that we always kenna *Drop 20 NOW!* from the sec 2s. I was really fit back in those days. Could do 75 woman's pushup in one shot. hehehe
 
princess in dreamland, thanks for your feedback. Rem to send me pics and testimonial ok. So glad your boy likes it so much that he hugs it to sleep. I hope this will become his "chow chow".

misscandy,
pls put my hubby down for the 6mth bash too.

seabreeze,
heheh glad that he approves. Thanks for the feedback. What made me most happy is the fact that some adults are ordering for themselves and I have a couple of orders which originated from the hubbies! Wow.

Tusky,

oh you have done your photoshoot? Oh wish I saw your messages earlier as I am doing mine at 10am today and would love to have a quick peek at the photos in order to prepare our outfits. Am at a loss right now. Think I'll prepare a dark and light coloured suit for both me and hubby. Baby will have one classic dress romper and one babyish, yellow pinafore romper. And lotsa headbands since she has no hair now. :p

I really should be sleeping actually. I feel like I have aged in the last two weeks.

Misscandy,
thanks babe. I support handmade, so no complaints from me for sure. Go for it! You know how to find me if you need any help. Buy singer. Brother is not bad too. I have a portable one that cost about 140sgd. The essential part is metalic while everywhere else is made of plastic. It's important to have the key parts made of metal. Buy singer if you can.

Lipstar,
how are you? Trust she did a miracle job for you. Must pump diligently liao. *hugs* Get well soon.

Minnie, Irene,
how come your sons look a bit alike one. Hahaha both like Xiao He Shang. Baby Monk. Oooh isn't that a cute brandname. Really cute pics that should go into their wedding video montage next time. :p

Inya,
welcome babe. You will find March mommies a very very interesting lot. technically I ended up a Feb mommie as she came out via elective c sec at 38.5 weeks on 23 Feb. Catch you soon.

Anyone wants to take over?

You will each get

(1) a quarter yard fabric (half is japanese 100% cotton for the front, half is non-stretchable velvet or fleece. All baby friendly materials). Will provide a myriad of prints for you to choose in advance. I only buy good quality fabrics. You can check with the sewing mommies who came.
(2) pattern in paper / fabric markers / sewing pins / threads / sewing needles
(3) Polyfill stuffing

Join only if you are comfortable hor. Obviously I am going to make a profit out of this. :)
But it is 4.5 hrs session and trust me it will be fun. Will refund you half if you don't finish in time. :p plus you can bring back the materials to do.

5 mommies max. At Queenstown. 5 mins walk from the train station. Cosy aircon environment. Can bring baby if you have to but preferably not lah. Errr... the refund policy for unfinished work doesn't count if you bring baby hor.

Sewing workshop SGD30

By the way guys, after thinking through, I would prefer that payment be made in advance as I need to buy supplies and what nots for you. Hope you don't mind. Will message you on FB. For drops out, I would try to get someone to take over your position. If it is successful I will refund you in full, if not, then we can probably arrange for you to join another session.

babydreams,
re pacifiers.

I didn't introduce it to baby until 4mthish. Even then I caved in only because I was desperate to wean her off her walking talking pacifier - me. Didnt work. She spat it out twice and cried angrily at me. :p

Actually I have mixed feelings about pacifiers so I am not really upset that she didn't want it.
