baby ja

same same! i live for when hubs comes back from work or on weekends haha

mich

true lah. ftwm is 24h job too. but.. i still feel that the consequences of abandoning work responsibilities is much smaller than sahm!

oh, no wonder he's very happy n amused when we tell him he's too loud n to keep quiet haha

BB

so i'm trying very hard not to bao bao too much lor. when sam gets heavier, my back really will break
sad.gif


sometimes they can suddenly flip one. sam also couldn't flip.. then suddenly 2 weeks ago, he could! before that his neck was v weak. his head wud flop all over when seated in the bumbo.. but also one day, he suddenly can sit liao. but it sounds like ur bb is one of those who may skip flipping

mashy

u're right! i have to wolf down my lunch b4 sam starts screaming

sam can't reach his toes!
sad.gif


ktmum

i guess i'll just try lor. happy bellies seems pretty gd with all the dha b;ah blah.. if reject then try something else

dolcevita

haha so funny the way u describe the tongue thing.

pegsfur

my hubs will do these in the am b4 he goes to work :
1) feed sam
2) wash pumpsets n bottles
3) change diaper (if late, i'll do)
4) put sam back to bed (but nowadays sam doesn't wanna sleep, so i take over)

in the evening, he will :
1) entertain sam if he starts fussing while i'm having dinner / watching the 7pm show
2) take care of sam while i pump
3) feed sam his last feed (after i wipe him, change his clothes)
4) put sam to bed after changing his diapers (he norm sleeps by 10pm)
5) wash bottles n pumpsets

on weekends :
he'll do more feeds n play with sam more. but i aws bathe sam coz hubs has this strange idea that only 1 person shd do the job. think he's secretly scared of bathing sam haha

joia

sam's like that too. start with shouting n complaining, then escalates into crying. but dun think colic starts so late right? i aws hear that it stops ard 6 mths.

Pris, glad to hear you have landed safely. Hope Kai gets well soon. Yes sometimes teething does cause loose stool, the PD mentioned to me before.

cloudme, yes not easy to be a taxi driver as the lifestyle is stressful. My FIL is a taxi driver too and he works from 5pm-2am.
 
pris:yup it does le..esp when they keep puttign their hands into their mouth


glad to hear u guys are safe n sound...hv to start moving liao le....

kai gt fever?so sudden???how come
 
felicia/baby ja,
tink my boy is starting to recognise ppl too...i seldom bring my boy to my ILs place...now my MIL is complaining say bb dun recognise her

re: flipping
ryan flipped from his back to tummy n tummy to back before on different occasions...but since then he has not been flipping...he will cry n fuss when he wants flip...needs help to flip now
i wonder y...previously can do it but not now

pris,
take care...hope kai get well soon

re: bb screaming
my boy can only coo, blabber n scream nowadays...esp when he wants to b carried...he screams alot
im worried bout his throat
 
re: sleeping thru
has most of ur bb sleep thru the nite? ryan still cant...he goes to sleep bout 10-11pm...but zhun zhun wake up at 430am...then ard 6-7am...v tiring...sometimes i fall sleep when latching in the middle of the nite
start to tink its dangerous but i cant keep myself awake
cos one nite i fall asleep while latching...woke up to find ryan's head between my legs...then body arch over my thigh n legs on the bed! tink i could haf easily squashed his head!!
 
jul
Wah ... i'm impressed with your hubby! He really wants to be involved in taking care of bb hor? Lucky u!!
happy.gif
I think i'll be moved to tears if my hubby said 'Is it time for his milk? Let me feed him.'

joeey
Ya lor .. taking care of bb is not easy. Sometimes it's so tiring that i just want to relax a bit during dinner by watching tv or reading the papers at the same time but also cannot. Cos even when hubby looking after bb when i eat, if bb cries he will come & ask me why bb cry .. is it time for his milk etc ... It's like hinting to me to hurry up my meal & take over bb. I'm not asking him to do wat jul's hubby is doing *wink* ... but surely he can be more involved?

BB
I agree with jul. My Ovann also showed no signs of wanting to flip. Den just 1 day out of the blue, he did it on his own.

felicia
I'm actually hope bb will cry when he can't see me .. hahaha .. esp when MIL is carrying him. But sad to say, no lor, he's like anyone also can carry him de.

weishy
I think better drop my order cos i can't confirm if i can make it. Sorry for the trouble.
 
Mich, hope your dad is well.

Weishy, yes, will have to start packing soon, and trying to move small items over to new place 1st and vacant present unit on 23 Jan.

Kai was not able to sleep with all the baby's crying and Ray just covered both ears with his hands.

Lots of sick passengers on the flight so due to lack of sleep, he was unwell.
 
Joeey
my parents are working and i dun want to trouble them, my in laws only want to help but got to follow their way, so means got to give baby sarong and pacifier even, i seriously dun want to ask them for help liao, when i need them they keep quiet end up i get a maid, so hopefully can just let my hubby quit, he cant help much but at least can supervise the maid..

Pris
Poor Kai, take good care of him and also yourself there..

Sharon
Ryan is not the only one, Renzo is the same, sleeps around 830-1030, wake up at 330-430 to drink milk, then sleep again but this time he will wake up around 530 for water, then sleep till 6-7am only, very tiring also but no choice.. i also carry him to sleep in the past for about 1 hours plus around 5am, now seldom do that, he always end up in good position when i wake up but still a bit worried so try not to carry him to sleep now..


pegsfur
haha you are so cute, but nvm lah most impt thing is baby is happy, my niece last time also happy with everyone but only not my sis, then one time she was having high fever and my sis look after her the whole night, after that she's very clingy to my sis liao.. they will change along the way de so dun worry..
 
Pegsfur, Ray is okay with everyone in the day but his eyes will be following me and once sky is dark, he will cling to me like koala.
 
bumper playmat
anyone bought 12mm thickness? i am still thinking if should get 12mm or 15mm.

Pris
hope Kai get well soon. the couple with baby is really inconsiderate. baby cry they can bo chap! not paiseh or feel bad about it that baby cry disturb other passengers.

sharon
whoa! scary leh!! everytime i fell asleep, Zachary will still be besides me. at most 1 of my arm over his body.

Previously Zachary can sleep through the night. but recently cant wor. like 2 or 4 will wake up. yesterday from 8pm - 6am he zzz and i dont remember feeding him (but left side like got feed him cos not that engorge whereas right side engorge).

Jul
your hubby really nice lor!! most of ours will just watch TV or computer read stupid stuffs. when i asked mine carry, he will just carry and continue reading.

flipping
a few days ago i finally took a video of Zachary flipping haha. he have been flipping but he always did that when i was doing something else and only saw the end result. but can tell he very lazy.
 
Reira, think they are very exhausted coz the bb girl at 12midnite till very active though her eyes super red.

I was glad that Ray managed to sleep through even in the noisy environment but Kai woke up a couple of times so ended up catching the flu bug in the plane.

Thought parents should be mindful that if their children can't sleep through on flight should tak day flight instead of nite flight.
 
aiyoh tdy sam very jialat..

woke up crying at 5.50pm.. then kept crying if i try to put him down. feed him, drink a bit, cry..

carry him upright then switch to cradle position, cry..

feed him again, cry..

scold him, cry..

then when hubs came home, he stopped!

hubs went out to buy me breakfast n run errand just now, cry again.. finally fell asleep with his pacifier, even tho he hasn't had his last feed.

thank goodness hubs is back n is feeding him while i pump now. back ache, shoulder ache, wrist ache n headache now
sad.gif
 
pris

glad that u've all arrived safely. hope kai recovers from his flu soon.

sharon, pegsfur, reira

yeah, if not for hub's help, i wud have given up pumping long ago. maybe i'd even sink into depression.

mentioned that i kena some postnatal blues, esp stressed over bf. then after that, sam had day n nite reverse issue n din sleep until 3/4am. he really helped a lot, until he fell sick from tiredness lor.

sharon

sam sleeps thru from 10pm - 6am.

wah quite dangerous leh. still rem those days when i woke up every hr to latch sam at nite coz i din have enough bm n he was jungry all the time! i kept nodding off, then got so angry when i found sam sleeping too! n he refused to burp, sooo frustrating. i kept wanting to smack him
sad.gif
 
Sharon
My boy still wakes up at least twice in the night. I just latch him while lying down.

pegsfur
My hb is not even in SG, want to arrow him do anything also cannot!
Whenever he is back, he watch TV or online shopping lor. He will try to help but as he is unfamiliar with things, he will ask a million questions before doing it!
 
Pris,
poor Kai.. u take care too
happy.gif


Pegsfur,
maybe jus tell ur HB straight tt not enough .. i kind of miss my HB now cos when he is ard he did mostof the thing.. bath the bb, feed,rock n play with him feel so relax with him ard since ur HB ard make gd use of him
happy.gif
 
1st day back to work after 5 mths break
sian... really no mood to work manz!

when I reached home, witnessed my boy flipped from tummy to back for the 1st time. so glad that I didnt missed it.
happy.gif
 
sharon
I will bring my boy to visit my ILs 1-2 times a week and he will start to cry at 8pm without fail. my mil say he recognised the place lor, hint that I didnt bring him there enough...
 
Weishy

That is the organic one right? If so, count me in.
I only go to internet at night. Sometimes go in sometimes no wor.. So, u can contact me via Mobile ya

Beside that what type of cereal they have?

==============

Piggytoh

That is what im afraid. Later his first word is jiu jiu leh. Haha..

=============

zen

yr boy start teething liao ah?
Actually when is the time bb start teething?

My friend said about 7-8mths than her boy starts teething

=============

Pegsfur

My boy also starts to reach out for some stuff liao le.. like now when I put him on his feeding chair, he kws it is for milk time liao le..
And he will open his mouth big big when he see the btl near him. Haha..

He used to pull the bumper.. now seldom see him doing that. Now he likes to flip. Haha..

Funny to kw our bb ways of developing.

=============

sharon / Felicia

same same... my boy also cant sleep thru at night la..
there was one time I wake up every single hr.

normally he will sleep thru 1st 2-3 hrs than will start fussing around.. I can hear him moving non stop.

I these 3 days put him at bed sleep instead of sarong and seems better. So now day time I gave him sarong or bed. I guess he don want to sleep at sarong already at night.

Only at night when he fuss around so I will shift him to put him sleep on one side. Than he will quiet down. Envy those bb can sleep all throughout leh. Haha..

I thinking monitor him for few days, after that I will shift back to my room liao le and monitor him using the bb monitor..
 
jul
unlike my hubby! think i am very free and ask me to do everything for him. even for stuffs like opening letter, filing them, hang towel. i helped him to open and he say why never help him to file them also.

now you still pump ah? not direct latch? these few days i kenna engorge and just let it leak *lazy* now squeezing and let breastpad absorb.

piggytoh
your hubby is so good!! if ask him to help and i am resting myself, he will make noise or give excuse to pass back to me. must be i have something to do like hang clothes ect then he will help by hugging but will sit infront of his pc to read forum.
 
Pegsfur

FTWM

my hubby will clean him up if i need to shower and latch him later.. normally we will see who is free then warm up milk and feed him. or just tag team.. he change diaper then i go warm up the milk.. most of the time he will put him to slp unless i latch him... at night if baby makes noise and looks for his pacifier then he will comfort him..if cannot then i will latch him to slp for a while sideways...
ya my hubby plays with him more than i do loh... hahha.. cos we need to express milk, wash clothes etc.. then he washes the bottles and pumps
 
Reira

Same here.. i am aso deciding between 12 mm and 15mm.. heheh... =] but 15 mm seems more cushiony to prevent them from falls...

weishy> okie. u get for me 1brown rice can? than c how we meet to get the jshopper stuffs. where u stay btw? actually i work near vivo. hais, but no time to go vivo for lunch, cos i olways need to meet users, so timing is so unpredictable

reira> actually i think 12mm or 15mm not much diff, but i bought the 15mm one =x
 
felicia,
so wat u do if he wakes up at nite? if dun carry him to sleep?

reira,
im scared of latching at nite now...i tink sometimes i also subconsciously latch him at nite...but i dun rem but hb say he saw me waking up

kikilala,
i tried lying down...u 100% fall asleep
do u co-sleep wif bb on ur bed?
so ur MIL also hinting u to go often?
but 1-2times a week is quite frequent already...

sbb,
then u not tired at work? how u manage?

jul,
dats good...waiting for the day for ryan to sleep slightly longer...juz an hr more, i would b v grateful
 
Pegsfur-no probs la ;)

Michelle-oki. They carry earth best too but 10% loo inlet me know la. Me staying at telok blangah

jshopper - no time yet to browse le..... Asap k

Sharon- very dangerous le sleep n feed
 
sbb,
ya, my boy teething alreadi. he's now 5months old. i read tat babies usually start teething between 6months to 9mths but it can start as early as 3months+. my mum & my in-laws said last time is 7mth sit, 8 mth crawl, 9mth teething.

sharon,
my boy also not sleeping thru yet. he'll usually sleeps between 8.30-10.30pm, then wakes up bet 11pm-12am, another time bet 3-4am, then 5.30-6am. by 7.30am, he'll be fully awake, wanting to play. around 8.45-9am, he'll take a short nap then wake up around 9.30am for his shower.
 
Sharon
If I am lucky enough, Renzo will sleep for straight 5-6 hours after his last feed, then wake up around 3-4am so i got to feed him milk, because he is so awake that giving him water or patting him also won't help him to sleep back, but if in between this 5-6 hours of sleep he wakes up once or twice, i will just give him a bit of water and he will go back to sleep.

but after the 3am or 4am feed, he sleeps for 1 hour then wake up around 5+, i got to give him water, then he wake up again around 6+, sometimes he can sleep after drinking water, but recently he will just wake up and play till 730am then have a short nap and drink his milk around 8am+..

so quite sad right, i meant looks like i just feed him 1 time during midnight, but in fact i got to wake up 3-5 times lor.. and the situation is not improving much, in the past when i feed him 150ml per feed during daytime, i got to feed him milk around 2am and 5am de, but in total also wake up 3-5 times so seems that i managed to cut down 1 feed but not much diff in terms of his sleeping pattern..
 
reira

I have no choice but to pump. Coz I dun have enough milk to feed sam at each feeding. For eg, Sam drinks 140ml/3h now, but I only produce abt 100ml after 3h. So I have to pump thru'out the day, and use the nite time's supply to supplement the day time n bottle feed lor.
 
weishy,

u r rite, mine 3 cans, 2 qty brown rice, 1 qty oatmeal. thks a lot, i can meet @ vivo/harboufront during thurs/fri to collect. thks a lot!
happy.gif
 
MOrning ladies..

Reira,
ya i am quite thankful tt my HB is willing to help out.. the only thing he will push to me is cleanin baby poo...hahah u know hor the 1st day he is back i ask him when i go workin how he goin to handle to baby bring to his mum house or he wanna take care of him alone? he told me he wanna take care of him alone n he gave up after 1 day haha so he understd how tough for me... i tink it impt to communicate with HB tt even SAHM need a break too...
happy.gif
 
Piggytoh

i feel that hubbies need to be trained to look after babies. cos wat if we are ill etc? we aso need to go out to meet frens, do our hair, shop etc.. doesnt mean we will be slaves to the children all the time. guys dun need to express milk mah.. just change diapers, feed and play, and coax baby to slp. they survived NS which is so physically & mentally demanding.. taking care of babies should not be a prob too!

everytime i see those ang moh daddies.. they are the ones changing the baby's diapers, feed them etc.. they are so involved in taking care of their children.. i dun understand why chinese men are not as proactive as them.
 
Kitty,
ya i agree tt y i force him to clean bb poo poo also so funnie to see him carefully clean bb poo poo n my boi luffin keke.. i alway told my HB bb belong to ours not mine alone so he wan a child he mus contibute:p heng my Hb quite proactive he even took the initiative to vacuum n mop the floor when he is ard so i can have my deserve break..
 
hehe, my hb also does diaper changing, washing up of bb. during weekends, he'll bathe the 2 kids. now that h starts to take solids, he also feed her.
 
weishy> think help me order 1 brown rice n 1 oatmeal ba. duno wat's the diff. wat's the diff in terms of health benefits?

piggytoh> hah. same my hubby can do anything, but juz refuse to clean bb's poo. everytime he try to clean, bb will poo at him. so he juz refuse to.
 
Michelle,
haha sumtime i will trick him say diaper full ask him change i go bath n i can hear him screamin while i bath lol~
 
Sharon
My BB cot is just next to my bed. When he wakes up for the 1st time in the night, I will roll him over to my bed and then feed him. But mine is a single bed so very squeeze.

My PIL always hint that i should bring bb to let them take care, especially now when I started work. heng now my sil preggie already, so their attention will be diverted.
 
piggytoh
My hb also like that... polish his son's butt like some precious vase. every time must use more than 10 pc of the wipes!
 
my HB help out in household chores too...he is the one who tell me not to get maid. eversince move into our own hse for last 6 yrs, he do the sweep & mop floor, clean windows, clean aircon. bath, clean poo, play with them. the oni thing he cannot do is marketing on sunday morng, he duuno wat to buy & I hv to list down, type of vegetables, meat, fish etc to buy...i do for him for a mth, after a while i told him i run of idea leh, i do the marketing instead he take care of bb and my older kid at hme, he even lagi happi. when we hv oni one tat time, we go together, he will bring my no#1 walk walk lah,,, now hv a BB, is a challenge to bring 2 out.
 
Kiki,
hahah my HB not precious his son butt but scare kena the sai so do it carefully keke..
i tink all IL r like tt.. even now i bring my son everyday durin wkeday for them to look after.. if i dun go over durin wkend they will miss him n ask y i din go over...
 
felicia,
tink renzo's pattern also similar to ryan and ethan

kikilala,
ryan's cot also beside me...juz gotta carry him over to my bed to feed
my MIL already told my mum dat 2nd one she wan take care...i din even say i wan 2nd one...she already dreaming about it!

piggytoh/kikilala,
yes...hb n my sisters change poo v funny one
machiam big project!
 
Weishy
I wan one brown rice one. Will meet for lunch at vivo/hf. Thanks.

Mich
I think u wanted to order initially right? I can buy n collect for u first then pass to u later..let me know yah
 
Wah seh...there's so many proactive hb around. I am so envious! My hb will help when I ask him to. But he mostly help with the elder one. My girl rejects him so now I cannot go anywhere without her. I wanna go cut hair also cannot!
