Re: pacifiers
i think i will still use it for #2. Good mute button. Heheh. But will wean early like my boy. some of the children my boy's age are still using pacifiers! I even saw one who's slightly older than him, sucking it on his way to the market. gosh.

Tas: sorry, but I think better pacifier than thumb. My niece suck both thumbs until both sides got corns. Yucks... Then my SIL dare ask me when I gave pacifier to Matt, why dun suck thumb instead? I was like, hmmm, not after seeing ur gal like that and then, she touched everything and then put thumb into mouth...

no prob since you're shifting today anyway.
tinkabel
I also feel same way, that's why let my boy have pacifier. But must wean early too. Cannot till schooling still using pacifier.

i think tas mentioned they intended to keep it from them till they move house. Else more headache. I think if they told them any earlier, they might have to stay in a hotel till they get their hse.

Mashy: IC. So many posts. Must hv missed tas saying this. Not very reasonable leh. Think sometimes they need to come to reality that kids grow up and marry and have their own family lo. Haiz, but my MIL also damn funny one. both sons got married and moved out. She hor, buy a double bed for each of the son and put in guestroom. Say it's spare bed. I told my mum she "ba4 wei4" lor. Scared next time no space for her in our new homes. I rented out my place when I came over to SH, locked my master bedroom. So tenant sleep on that "spare" bed. I think i go back hor, sure throw away. I very bad hor...

yah, there's a lot of weird MILs who 'ba wei' first. And some even have their house keys! I think that's most unacceptable. Luckily my parents are staying with us, so my ILs can't do anything like this.

yah it's not easy to wean off. But if u throw away the bottles, then u also no choice. U will then insist that he drinks from the cup. Sometimes it's coz the parents cannot tahan the crying and give in.

Celine, my boy dislike milk bottle too haahaa, he went to cup even though we bought milk bottles, instead use straw to suck from bottle sometimes when he was young.
He was chatting with my cousin's 8 yr old son and that boy was still drinking from milk bottle, my ds was very naughty, teasing the older boy.

Mashy: Aiyo. Mine typical case loh. My ILs have my house keys also last time before I moved to SH in 2006. Aiyo, then I tell u, I super sianz lor, my ILs would expect us to go back at least once a week for dinner. Then my FIL calls every Sat morning at 9AM. Goodness, only day we can sleep late lor, cos Sun morning need to wake up early go church. So I was so glad when we moved to SH. Out of their reach totally. But alas, they still call us at 9AM on Sat and then 1st question, ask us what we are doing. Wa lou, tell u for the umpteenth time we are sleeping lor. Luckily now, cos my bb wakes up early, we are usually up by 9AM also. Now I still trying to come to terms that I have to stay at their place again during confinement. Had bad experience last round, stressed by MIL instead of the bb. then FIL so naggy, whole day nag at this and that... Then I shift out that time to come back to SH, I leave a bottle of shampoo at his place, he ask me to bring back to SH lor, I was like I still stay at ur place whenever we come back to Spore for visit. Refused to let me store too many stuff at this place. So now, I packing very carefully what to bring back to Singapore, cos all that I bring back, I must remove from his place. Irritating...

they know we don't have a choice in this either. Coz my previous flat was under my dad & my name. When we sold our flat, he would have to return me my CPF and he won't have a place to stay.
When we were getting married, my MIL said rather we buy our own place and my parents stay with us, than have my hb stay with us in a flat under my dad and my name. So that's exactly what we did.
Remember when u wanna try again, throw away the bottles or at least the teats. Then u can't bear his crying also have to bear with it.

tinkabel, haahaa, I was so stressed up by my mil too haahaa. same thing, mil will call early on Sat to ask dh what he is doing, when we shift to new place, no phone in bedroom, we dun bother to pick up phone at 9am. If my mum, she will ask my bro to leave us a msg or call at like 11 or later.
So whenever I am back I stay at my mum, dh also stay at my mum, only place that can sleep late haahaa....even last time, before we got married but engaged liow, dh used to stay over and sleep in the same room as my bro, so can sleep late on weekend haahaa.

Re spliting out pacifier,
Think most infant will split it out initially coz they dunno how to hold it probably.
I intro pacifier to my boi since he was 2 weeks+, I got to help him hold on his pacifier. When he master the skill, it does really pacify him. But we only let him have the 'snack' during nap time.
He wean off the pacifier at 15mths old.
My friend rejected pacifier, sarong, etc for her first born. She strictly followed all the rules from books and proffessionals. She was v v regretted coz the baby super fuss and cranky. Only can nap at home. So the parents and baby can only go out and rush back home for baby's feeding/sleeping time.
Now she has her #2, she said she will say yes to sarong, yes to pacifier, yes to everything!

guai already.
You've done a great job in raising him!

haha, my MIL used to expect us to be at her place like 3-4 times a week. Then we slowly wean her off. (haha, same as with our kids). We started going twice a week, then became once a week. Now with our boy, we;ll go back once a week. For us it's ok lah, after all they're still his grandparents. So when we're there, i'll just close one eye and bo chap what they do with my son. At least it keeps the peace in the family.
Next time just tell them to throw away the shampoo lor. They prob won't. Why don't u hang up the phone? Then they can't get u so early in the morn? I guess u just have to become 'deaf' and 'mute' when you're there for your confinement...

Re: In laws
Haha, I hardly think if we are back in Singapore, now with kids, can continue go once a week. When I was back in Singapore for maternity last time, my BIL, wife and niece come every day for dinner. Then dun come, hv to call and then, my MIL will ask whr u all going, how come dun come back. My goodness.... Damn sianz right...
And ya, now in Shanghai, I plug off the phone in my master bedroom. So can't hear it ringing. Last time, I go back 1 mth earlier and stay at mum's place. Then give birth already, move to her place. Haiz, my MIL volunteer do confinement for me. And my mum's place too squeezy la, so not as if I hv too much a choice. So I guess this time, I just make the same arrangement as well. But will prob go back to SH earlier this time, since my son needs to see his dad.
