I bought a mumsfairy supershield (m), but it dooesnt suit me - less supply cos I already used to my PIS funnel and got certain methods to extract more milk. Used twice only.. bought at $29.90 ($34.35 after adding postage)
Reselling @ $27 (absorbing postage)
Anyone interested?

Re: Sleeping
For my gal she will wake up at 9am plus for her feed than start to play n wants to be carry or she will scream loud. her feed is every 3 hrs plus minus 30 mins 110ml. almost every each feed she have short nap.

Night will be sleeping with us.

Bean, your gal is so good! Can sleep through so well. MIne is still having 2 hrs feeding interval during the day and 3 hrs during the nights. Hope he can cut down to 1 feed per night soon and maybe goes to 3 hrs feeding interval during the day.
My mom insisted it's my breastmilk that's causing him to eat so often, every 2 hrs cos it's thinner. sigh.

hi all,
It seems like u all hv v good routines and good at disciplining ur babies.
My boy is now 7 weeks and still v irratic. He sleeps mostly in the day, feed at abt 3-4 hours intervals, sometimes 5 hours. BUt at night he can wake up for feeding every 1 hour plus or 3 hours, depending on his mood.
He's sleeping in my bed now as my hubby is not in singapore most of the time n i'm lazy to keep getting up to his cot.
He also has a habit of sucking on my nipples as a pacifier b4 he can sleep.
He likes to be carried and will scream till his face turn dark red, and sometimes like can't breathe if i try to ignore him for too long. Or when he wants milk, he wants it immediately.
really desperate to discipline him now but dunno how to...

Hi Bean,
We tried pacifier when he wakes up middle of the night, but he fall asleep for awhile then wake up again.. We are slowly stretching the midnight feeding interval. Can I just feed him water when he wake up?
We will off the lights and no more TV or other activities at 9.30 pm to let bb know it is night time. We started this when he is 1 month old.
Re: Pacifiers
Mummies who uses pacifier, when using pacifiers at night time, will yr bb cries / wake up when the pacifier drop??

Pacifiers :
Second time mummies, is it true some pacifiers will make baby teeth formation ugly? my friend strongly recommend NUK pacifier as her #1 have a set of nice teeth as compare with her SIL's who use Brand "A" pacifier. Any advice to share ?

pastries,
Same here. My gal will scream if she dun get immediate attention.(That is when she is very hungry lah.)
Re: Baby's routine
My baby's routine also roughly quite fixed la.
10am: 100ml,a stroll in the neighbourhood followed by go market shopping buy my brunch,she will fall asleep in her stroller at times. This timing I will have my brunch surf net...hee and do some housework,sweep floor etc.
1pm: 100ml,shower then play in her playgym (When she tired of playing,she will cry then I will settle her back to yao lan or FP rocker.)
4pm:100ml,then zzz
7pm:100ml,then fuss a while..Coz she knows we are having dinner,gives us no peace..LOL
10pm:100ml, then zzz.
1am: 100ml,then zzz.
6am: 120ml,then zzz.
Try and plan more activities for baby in the day,tired him/her out then they will sleep better at night.
My baby is quite used to sound ard her,she can be sleeping soundly in the day even my dogs bark. haha..
Re: pacifier
I tried to set the "extended" feeding hours by giving her pacifier instead of milk if she wakes up earlier than her 5am feed. It kind of works! haha... Most of the time she will suck pacifier till she sleeps. Pacifier drops, she cry, u put back she is ok liao.
Roughly every 3 to 4 hours except for the 1am feed stretched up to 5 to 6 hours. If she missed her 1am feed,then she will wake up ard 4am for milk,then next feed will be morning le.

jamie, bean, ibite & porky,
haa! i totally understand the feeling.
last time when my elder boy just borned, i was the only one who took care of him after confinement, not staying wi my parents and in-laws, so really one-man show! v happy and look forward hubby back home from work every evening! haa
there were days that i cried together wi bb when he cried so loud and difficult to pacify... but but but, i couldnt bear to part wi him when my maternity leave almost end, so upon discussion wi hubby, i decided to take no pay leave and continue to take care of bb.. very tiring, coz besides taking care of bb, i still do abit of housechores and also tried my best to cook meals.. but it was very rewarding
i really enjoy every moments wi him, witness his every milestone and little achievements.. so i decided to quit my job after my no pay leave end...
gals, actually the hardship now are really peanuts, more to come as they grow older! i believe 2nd/ 3rd time mummies will agree wi me..
however, im a lazy mummy coz i never wake up for bb's midnight feeds (after bb's 1st month), hubby feeds bb by warming EBM.. i only woke up once to express milk.. hee

prawnmee - i'm oso looking after bb on my own now. can understand how you feel. my #1 was colicky when she was a bb, i was so tired out by her crying and fussing dat i really felt like throwing her out of the window! even summoned hb to come home from his nite meeting to take over. but trust me, things will get better. some bbs juz take a longer time to settle into a routine but they will eventually do so. hang in there!
re bb sleeping - i dun deliberately switch off the lights or draw the curtains in the evening. i will let the natural lighting fr outside do the job. to get bb to sleep, try to tone down all activities come evening time so dat they will not be over-stimulated. if bb wakes up at nite, i will not engage her. will quickly give her milk, once she finishes, put her back into the cot. if she makes noises in her cot, i will give her the pacifier and then walk off. no carrying, rocking etc. i believe in conditioning. once bb is used to these, she will demand for it.

pastries, u/ur hubby has serious personality? my hubby joked that our bb like him -- blur blur/ gon gon one *haha* she like to look at us with bright shiny eyes and mouth open... as for fussy, sometimes when her sleep is disrupted... yah, she is making all kinds of sounds!

yup, look forward to my hubbby coming from work -- then he takes over bb while i re-charged
nowadays zzz @ 9.30pm coz need to wake up to pump milk ard 1-2am. hubby will do the last feed at 12midnite and i will take over the next feed at 4am...
re: going back to work

Re: Routine
How do u mummies establish routine for bbs? My bb's routine is also quite erratic, only more established at night, when she takes FM, then she can sleep for 3 hrs. in the day, i latch her on, sometimes can only last her 1-2hrs.
TinklesMum: My mum blames the breastmilk also. if we give her 100ml FM, she can sleep for 3hrs but if 100ml EBM, she can only last 2hrs. Latch on worse, cos dunno how much she drinks.. >.<
Re: Smile & play
My baby also dun really smile much, though she dun cry when she wakes up, only when she's really hungry.. so far, she can only establish eye contact with ppl. when we play with her using rattle or playgym, she also dun concentrate much, only like to look around and kaypoh..
Re: Pacifier
I only introduced pacifier to bb yesterday! and FAILED! she sucked sucked for abt 15mins, fall asleep then wailed! she still prefers to be carried around before she sleeps. luckily, my mum helps me take care of bb so we take turns to carry. but if she grows bigger dunno what to do..
I really salute those who are looking after bb yourself.. i sure cannot make it de..
Re: Selling bb

RE: hbs who cannot wake at nite
Actually all along i do the nite feeding for bb until once during confinement, being very frustrated w my mom n her strict confinement rules i broke down. told my hb hw f**ked up he was to get irritated and frustrated when bb cried. haha i think he felt real bad then he really did try to wake bt now still back to me lor. So i force him to do all the work when back frm work. Also got him to do the first diaper change b4 he leave house. at least i wont nd to get up jus to change her.

I have seen Hailey a total of maybe 30mins since 2pm. I AN DAMN DU LAN WITH HIM ALREADY.he insists on carrying, playing, petting, feeding her. But when it's diaper change time he pass back to us. when she cries, he assume she's hungry, if she's been fed and still cries, he assumes she wants to b carried. He refuses to pass bb to anyone. Hb says he obsessed. I am DAMN SUPER PISSED OFF even my mom also bth him. jus nw heard her say him "u make until everyone cant b bothered to help u when she cry." so heartpain to hear her cry non stop bt everytime i tried to bring her into my room today, my uncle appears at my door within 5 mins. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
adv sport: my bb also abit hard to squeeze out a smile bt i jus kp talking and laughing and singing in a super high pitched and excited manner. haha dunno she smile cuz she think i weird or she really like it..=p
