Any 1 one knws wat calcium pills to take while breastfeeding? can advice?
re: baby reject bottle
i mentioned before that my #1 rejected bottle all the way...wasted so much $$ buying all kinds of bottles, etc...in the end, i nursed her direct till she weaned off breast by herself @ 13mths...my problem then was i didn't have good help to help train baby with bottles, etc. Also, my #1 will raise hell if you keep forcing the teat on her.
my then domestic helper was super unreliable in terms of baby care so i couldn't rely on her to help feed/clean baby.my MIL can't cope coz she's not in good health.so in the end, i extended my no pay leave till baby was 9mths.thereafter, I went home to b-feed everyday during lunch hr.
this time round, #2 was also rejecting bottle even tho we intro bottle feeding when she was 5 days old. in the beginning, she'd drink only 50ml after more than one hour of cajoling her to drink.
she can recognise me, and refused to drink anything if i am the one to feed, but keep rooting for the breasts instead.so i stopped being the one to bottle train her.luckily, my current helper is very experienced and somehow we still manage to feed her about 50ml a day using pigeon teats (she rejected avent, NUK, medela).
but after recommendation from lily, i started using Tommee Tippee, and EUREKA! she drank! on good days, she can drink 120ml but 80% of the time she drinks only 80-90ml.Thats good enough for me I guess. She definitely drinks more when I latch her on, so she drinks more @ night. I decided that i really need to bottle train the baby this time round, so that i can have more freedom, esp since I have another kid around to attend to. now that #2 can drink from her tommee tippee bottle, i can take my #1 out for our bonding time together. it really makes a difference to me that #2 is able to drink from bottle, i am so grateful!
subsequently, i am thinking of getting her to drink milk from cups when i am not home (ie when i go back to work) will see if i can train her or not
i'm interested to get these cups:
http://www.doidycups.com/
http://www.debabyshoppe.com/
otherwise, when she starts her solids @ 6mths, i'll try to feed her via the pigeon straw mugs (which is BPA free). my #1 started to drink plain water (but refused to accept BM) from straw mug when she was 6mths old.
so, basically, i am looking for ways to get BM into her tummy other than thru milk bottles, just in case she starts to reject bottles again. furthermore, i think its better for their teeth if they stopped drinking from bottles early.

Cheekz,
Thanks for sharing the info on cups. Are you gonna buy the cup? I would like to buy one too. My baby doesn't like to drink water from the bottle. I was thinking probably this cup can work for her!
And I didn't know that babies have to be weaned off the bottle latest by one year old (from the web) My SIL's baby (15 mths) and I think many babies are still drinking from the bottle.
Thanks very much for sharing!

bean,
there's alot western literature out there about bottle-feeding, etc...but to each their own! its good that u read up more and decided whats best for baby.personally, i prefer to wean off bottle earlier...no need to constantly wash bottles and teats. I notice ang mos will give their babies fresh milk to drink after baby is 1 yr old.
Milk is good lah, but after 1 yr old, its best to get nutrition from other food sources, not just milk alone. currently, my #1 is drinking packet milk when we're out. she drinks formula milk from straw @ home.
lily,
thanks for the lobang!

Hi Yuki, good to know you are better. Well, at least Jayden is close to you. Jonas is not really close to me cos he slept in his cot with my mom...
I hope he will still bond with me as he gets to Month 3...

re: reject bottle
Cheekz,
My ds2 also reject bottle as he was fully BF directly. My BM supply diminished when he was 1 year old so got to supplement FM. He drank straight from the straw. But initially, must be super patient sit with him for 1/2 hour to finish the cup of milk. My helper got to do it because he will reject if it's me. So relieved when he could drink anything out of cup. Finally freedom found! Otherwise, I feel like a walking cow. Do you intend to try the doidy cup? I saw someone organize BP. Quite keen to buy but it's a bit early now. Maybe when baby is almost 6 months.

initially my gal sleeps in playpen(firm mattress on). however after her 1st mth, she reject no matter how hard we try to coax her & in the end we bought a sarong & shes better now. sometimes she sleeps in my arms & i see her so soundly asleep, will put her back to the playpen but definitely the duration is not long than sarong. as i will be gg back to work next wk, hv also bought a sarong to place in my mum hse just in case shes not cooperative.

He got frighten by something his shit is green in colour and after some thinking its because of my mil and my hubby's grandparent. They are watching transformer with all the base sound system on, they put my boy in front of the tv. After that he have being crying. I told them will scare him at least carry him if wanna watch that show not puting him jus infront of the tv. I carry him away to the room and they carry him out again say he wont be scare must train him.. now when i put him down he will cry till no sound. so angry, i told my hubby abt it he is so damn angry. I nv get to sleep last night because of my parent in law..

Actually my IL also don't like my boy to stay in the room the whole day cause they say not good to let baby stay in air con room 24hr a day, must breath some fresh air. But they don't dare to come to my room to just carry baby out. Normally, I am the one to bring baby out if I need to bath, eat or go out. I told my MIL that I can put him outside, but who look after. Especially when I pump, I will lock the room and baby will be with me unless my hubby is around and want to bring the baby out. Anyway, morning he is outside while waiting for his bath.

no respect to me at all right as in like i am nt a human lor.. i told my hubby our room is a park can come and go they happy no admission fee.. worst cannot lock door so i tell him if wanna have sex need to put a note outside the room say 'do nt disturb' or ' sex in operating'
my hubby jus laugh lor.. my hubby didnt saw how they treat me cause when he is back everything change.. my fren say maybe they are afraid if one day we divorce then bb will go to me lor

I also staying at my IL house now. I always lock the door when I am pumping. I think it is their habit. Last time they also used to knock the door and just come into the room after knocking (I think they always do that when my hubby is single, so difficult to change just because he is married now). Later when my BIL has galfriend, then he understand privacy, so he will knock the door before he come into our room. Now, I always locked the room when I pump. Now My FIL and BIL don't come into my room when I am in the room. My MIL still open the door after knocking or sometimes she will knock the door and wait if she thought that I am pumping.

Yuki,
Huh? What if baby is sleeping? Maybe you tell them that you will bring baby out after baby wakes up. They will disturb your baby, your hubby and you if they knock the door early in the morning. If you want to take a nap, maybe you tell them you are sleeping and will lock the door so that they won't disturb you. Initially, if I am going to pump, I will tell my MIL I am pumping, hinting that I will be in the room for a while. If she needs to get anything or tell my anything, then she has to do it now. She will then wait till I come out of the room before she ask me anything, if need be.

Cheyanne, my MIL quite good lah.I think we have to commumicate to them what we want. Because before their son is married, they just walk in and out of the room as and when they like, so it is a habit. I don't think they (at least my MIL) do it intentionally. But I find it funny if they don't allow you to lock the door.
Re: MIL
My in laws have shifted in with me since mid of june. So far she is still ok and she will knock on my door if she wants to come into the room (I am sleeping in #1's room). I think becos of my past experiences with her during #1 days so now she knows my "pattern".
So 1st timer mummies, if ur in laws is having their 1st grandchild is norm that they behaved in this way

Okipoki, at least your MIL respect your privacy now.
Yuki, nap also cannot close the door, like that really no privacy. Anyone pass by also can see you napping. I will normally lock or at least close the door if I want to nap.

Cheyanne,
I think maybe she forgot how to change diapers. Maybe she need some refresher course. I think my mother also forgot how to change diaper liao. That time my auntie is the one who helped me to bottle feed baby and change diaper for baby with me when baby poo. My auntie has a 5 yr old son, so memory still fresh. My MIL also very uncertain about alot of things initially, but after practise, she can do these now.

Re my aunt and mother, I am referring to the day I sacked my CL. They came over to my house to help. My mother helped to cook dinner and my aunt help me with the baby. Luckily they came over, my auntie is the only one who can settle the baby and it is the first time we introduce bottle.
