(2009/06) June 2009 MTBs

I've added all the mummies that contributed their emails to my fb..

Nowadays i ate everything, but in moderation. I even drank some beers n wine during fren's party..but of cos i throw away the ebm.

Pacifier - used avent but kirsten kept spitting it out. so bought nuk ones to try. lagi worse. so stick to avent cos if i press n hold longer at her mouth, at least she will suckle when she realise something is there. n she sucks quite loud.. any mummies experience dat?
 


BlueDream, my boy started to have colic when i gave him the bottle previously cos hubby wanted to help with night feeds so i stopped the bottle. I read that babies will outgrow colic by 3 mths so i thought to play it safe, give bottle with ebm again at 3 mths. I dont want him to get colic again. its a nightmare. BBjun was saying that the Dr Browns bottles dont give colic. Anyone using Dr Brown? any feedback?
 
Dolly, actually even when my boy doesnt fall asleep at my breast, he still has hourly feeds haha. I will feed him until he satisfied, dont want the nipple anymore and sometimes he can empty both breasts but he max can stretch 2 hours only...I find it strange that at nite he can drag up to 3hrs for feeds but when the clock ticks 5am, he is back to hourly feeds. Very strange...
 
bbAug,

I m using Dr Brown's bottles with nuk teats for both my boys, so far so gd. If bb's cranky after feeding and changing diapers, will use some sesame oil with powder and rub them in my palm then apply on bb's stomach. Will help to ease their discomfort. My grandma taught me this.
 
Dolly & BBaug: thanks for your advice. Think i will think abt using sarong. I still can cope as my MIL is helping me to look after bb. Spoken to GP last night, was worried that the bb my get concussion if shake too much in sarong. She says the bb will outgrown in 3 mths time.
 
dolly, ya i think i over fed him..im feeding him 150ml every 3hr but lately he need to be fed every 2hrly in the day time.

Btw any idea why bb suddenly become like super sleepy? Isaac was very sleepy this few days, usually after feeding he will wanna talk but lately he fell asleep during feeding time and also when i put him on the bed and go take something come back he already fall asleep..
 
Hi Mummies,

See that ur have been latching ur babies. But i am giving ebm - bottle feed all day. Cos initially i had sore & painful nipples. So i didnt latched her. Now she is so used to bottles, i didnt try to latch her at all.

Colic: crying, fussing. pacifier, hug, milk all given but nothing makes the baby stop crying?

my girl drinking 100ml... at 4 hours ON THE DOT. -_-" at least I can rest a bit more. Now 2 month plus... getting better.
 
split: Is it heavenly that your boy wanna sleep? Haha... after 2 hourly feeding, my boy has been sleeping from 11 till now

Shirley: Why not try latching again? Initially my nipple also sore, I will squeeze some milk to put on my nipple and air dry, it helps. If it get worse, I'll put the purlan cream. The trick is to tahan the pain and continue latching. Now I dun even need to put cream, my nipples must have toughen up!

qi: your girl very discipline leh!
 
hihi everyone!! wanna go buy lunch but see my neighbour at home thus dash in to borrow computer from him. Bring a pillow and put sermaine on sofa and she fall slp herself.

Thanks annie for posting sermaine pic in forum.

Thanks for mommy that praise sermaine pretty n cute.

So far still total latch on sermaine. During day and noon time she will auto play with herself and fall aslp in bed herself. Evening and night time she will start to want carry and rock but always shake rock for 10-20mins then she will fall aslp. She also a light sleeper, easier wake up. Especially noon time always slp 4 15-30mins but lucky she will play with herself, tire liao slp back again. Now latch on 7-8 times a days unlike newborn 14 time a day!! Now she latch on every 2-4 hourly but night time can drag for 5-7 hours. But i will latch her on if she didnt cry for milk for more then 5 hours. As i scare she hungry. hee. But she bad temper, want means want.

How i wish i have com at home and i can share and seek advise from forum. Take care everyone.

Yipee, finally tmr is fri!! Hope tmr spore is nice weather.
 
Shirley, your GP said baby rock too much in sarong will get concussion? The baby will outgrow what in 3 mths time? The sarong?

Thanks Bbpotato-will try the nuk teat cum Dr Brown bottle combination. I previously used Nuk teat with Nuk bottle and baby developed colic.

Shirley, just like what qi7 said, baby will usually develop colic in the late evening/nite. He will keep on crying and nothing will pacify him. He is very uncomfortable due to wind in tummy.

Shelisa, think you got the ideal baby. auto play by herself and fall asleep by herself. Somoremore can sleep 5-7 hours at nite. My baby is total opp of yours haha. Always need attention and need to spend lotsa time coaxing him to sleep. At nite, usually 2 hourly feed.
 
hi ladies

can share how you make baby sleep or take naps?? he'll only sleep after suckling at the breast, or if my mother pat him on her shoulder.. very siong..

anyone tried the settling techniques from baby whisperer?
 
hi hi all mummies,

been mia too. haha... but also haf been reading on and off lah... jus dat there's nth for me to contribute, so i din post.

so how's everyone coping wif babies?
 
really can outgrow carrying in 3 months? my boy 2 months 1 week.. everyday wanting more attention hahah..

anyway, i'm buying the sarong later.

but another question, what if he sleeps more in the day, then end up at night sleep little? this is what i am concerned wor.. any mummies can share?
 
skylermum: Thats wat the Dr says. I still considering to get the sarong anot. U let me know if sarong works for your bb.
 
Hi Mummies,

Re: Latching:

1) Do ur express out ur bm after latching?
2) when your feed ur bb the ebm?
3) Did your ever came across bb feeding time and the time our breasts are full is different? How do ur feed?
4)Every hr latch..do ur have enough milk for ur bb to latch on every hr?

Split- Nesher also starting wearing 3-6mths ..

Qi7- hehehehe I gave Nesher pacifier he split out...
 
dolly: only applies to drinking. She still want carry before she sleep. If noises wake her, she also cry for carry. so not really disipline in a way.

Annie: good, no pacifier, no need headache to kick the habit later

just nursed my baby to sleep.Nowadays its a struggle getting him to sleep day and nite. He is always so alert. Then at nite, he gets cranky and have to let him latch on till he falls asleep.
 
My boy woke up at 11pm! Just nurse him to sleep again... hope he sleep longer

Shirley: My boy born on 16 Jun, but I extended my CL by another month
 
well, latched him for 45min till 10pm, slept for 1 hour

Going to sleep now... hopefully dun need to wake up too soon!

hi, back online finally! while both babies are sleeping. Just moved house successfully, and its so tiring to take care of 2 babies alone. My no.1 recovering from fever, maybe from teething.. and super cranky.. cannot leave alone. she's starting childcare next week so looking forward to more time.

I've added those with FB. U can add mine: [email protected]

Hayoki,
i'm planning to go n let my baby have the optional jabs coz she's going infantcare. the prices are quite standard i think..won't vary much except for the consultation fees depending if u go GP or PD.

anyone using those babycarrier that are like backpacks eg. baby bjorn? How long can ur baby last in the carrier before starts to fidget or what? if baby is facing u, then baby's head will be resting on ur chest nearer to ur breast or nearer to ur neck?
 
qi7, FM is formula milk as I only feed baby once per day end up the cannot finish the tin within a month. Will dispose today and keep track on which day I open for the next tin.

bbaugustine, to prevent wind, I give grip water to my baby fr wk 3 onward. Start by giving him half a teaspoon added with some water. It is good as my baby fart everyday. :p
 
styliciously, I carry my boy ard from wk3 onward using baby bjorn. When he cranky, I just pat him, sometime he will fall asleep. As he like to be carry, I will use it when he is cranky in the stroller.

styliciously, can help to add me in FB with other mothers. Thanks. :p
 
I know lower can store 2 day, freeze 3 mth, but I saw blurmom talking about adult fm=bm right?

And she said: Bluedream, adult Fm must consume within 2weeks.. I would advise u to dispose unless the Fm did state the duration period.

Which is why I become blur.

Bluedream: why not buy a smaller tin?

Re: volume
My girl drinking 100ml/4hrly. which is 600ml per day.

createjoy: I wait for baby cry loud then feed. Because if she is hungry, can hear her tummy growling noise when she start sucking the bottle, she keeps drinking as fast as she could so the milk can fill her tummy. If we adults cannot stand the hunger, imagine a little baby?

There is no harsh and fast rule when it comes to feeding. I asked a doctor once and he said: so long as baby does not vomit after feeding=he can take the volume.

I remember my first boy drinking 120ml after 4 weeks of birth, every 3 hourly. thats more than 800ml and he seems fine. I pressume some babies need more, some need less.
