Dolce,

So sorry, would love to join the gathering but i am not clearing my maternity leave next week and my 16 and 23 is occupied as i need to bring aaden for his injection and need to run errands on one of the sat.

My mil just told me that all the clothes are getting smaller. I brought over a few big ones apparently it is still not enough. so i am thinking of heading down to the shop in bugis to get clothes for junior this coming sat.

Lately he has not been sleeping in the afternoon and demands to be carried and cries at times. May i know what could be the cause??

Re:Hair loss
Ever since I hit 4th month my hair has been dropping like mad. It's getting worse. Anyone like me?

kikilala,
if you feel cannot pump out then latch that breast till baby clears it for you. Latching to clear is more efficient than pumping.
 
piggytoh> haha. but de usofa got more functions, but dunno if de leg massage is similar. but than again, i dun need de massage back n backside la. but than, it's like a sofa. so much more space saving =p

donkeymami> haha. i dun mind bringing for u when i pick up de cereal. but de cereal not so fast rite? if u dun mind waiting, than i'm ok wor

april> keke. tml i sms u. now lazy to go dig de pm =x

phy_o> my hair loss started even before i hit 4mths. how to stop ah?
 
<font color="#1cbab4"><font size="+0"> Re : BB diapers
Wow, seems like almost all babies here are already wearing the big L size diapers! Mine still M leh. I think her bum is making her unable to flip over. I need to give her a gentle push and she would be laughing like one mad cow once she is sitting on her belly.


Re : poo after eating
dolliepollie (dolliepollie) >> Mine does that too! Drink halfway can poo. Den poo, suddenly burp and sometimes 'er ney' milk starts flowing from the sides of the mouth due to burping... What a messy meal. lol. Side track abit; I am alittle embarassed to say this but my MIL has introduced this potty thing whenever she has that 'hmmmmmmmmmm' sound. * wanna poo sound. Whenever she wanna poo, I will hurry and grab the red potty and shove it under her bum. Surprisingly, she will just poo and make that 'hmmmmmmmmmmm' sound. According to MIL, she will transit better when she goes potty. toink. back to rashes; mine has like 1cents size rash (circular) around her face. Mum says its milk stains never clean properly. What's yours like? I apply the nappy rash cream and they disappear yay.


Re: Will you want to be a SAHM?
wow, seems like some mummies here are moving on to new jobs! A brand new year in a new job! Given you a choice, and if your hubby can support you all, would you want to be a SAHM?

I am saying this because, I am a SAHM and a WAHM too. If you are both, its really crazy. I look up to SAHM really! My mum used to be an orchid gardener in the Singapore Orchid Gardens and she still can work under the hot sun and take care of us (a whopping 5 naughty kids) I used to think that SAHM is all chilled and relaxed lifestyle till my baby girl pops. I am amazed with some of you! Manage to get preggy when you are still working! My previous job work day in and out.. so can't get preggy until quit job. lol. Seriously, I missed celebrating colleagues birthdays and company's x'mas parties!


Re: What do you do to make your baby sleep?
Mummies, this is odd but I wanna ask. Do you need to pat your little one to sleep before placing him/her on the cot? I 'chant' the daily routine of 'ommmmmmmmmmm' here and there and she will sleep. I am asking cos I was so troubled! Yest. morning, my guy feed her alr, den placed her at the cot. She din sleep and kept tossing around, until i carry her and shove her straight into my boobs and she slept. My guy can't seem to cradle her to sleep, so he just place her at the cot (while i take my rest) and she can sleep on her own at night. Morning cannot, she toss and turn.


Re : C-sect
Any mums here is C-sect? Wanna know if your wound sometimes will tear alittle when you exert too much force? Mine still vulnerable; recently has small amount of blood cos I think she is getting heavier by the day.. 9+kg for 5mth = equates to a bag of rice. I am literally a coolie!



Re : Hair Loss
phy *o* (phy_o) >> Mine still dropping but after cut short hair, its much better. If never wash for a day, will drop madly x 2times. Do you all wash your hair every single day? I can't. I must wash everyday else scalp oily, hair drop more!


reggkong (reggkong) >> I got your site url! Thanks for the PM, really, but I'm currently looking for headband for my baby girl. I need to make her look more girl!

baby waking up more often at night
My boy has been waking up 6-8 times (including one feed at 4am) at night for the past 3 days. He used to wake up about 3-4 times (including 1 feed at 4am) only.

Think even when he was 1 month old he didn't wake up so many times. When he wakes up, most of the time I got to give him water, only 1 or 2 times i can pat him to sleep.. if no water given he will open his eyes big big and start to cry or scream..

In the past I managed to change his night feeding from 2 times to 1 time buy giving him water when he wakes up for milk, but I didn't expect that he will wake up so frequently for water... haiz any advice what can i do?

morning all

Been really busy these 2 weeks, both boys were down with the weather and finally recovered.

Will be mia for a while as I am also starting to pack as we will be moving house next week.

I also started Ray on solid, organic rice cereals, pumpkin, apple and pear since Tuesday. He is taking like half a bowl of rice cereal mixed with bm. BM he is still drinking quite a big.

The LC here encourages bm as long as possible, told me, the bm is still beneficial up to 6 years old.
 
pris

gd to hear from u. sounds like u'll be really busy. really salute u! i can't imagine moving hse with a boy n baby in tow
 
Jul,
if feedin him solid can stop him from makin noise at nite i dun mind to start 1-2wk earlier lor if not v tiring n v sleepy at work manz..
 
yeah lor, coz every bb is different. if kyler needs to start 2 weeks earlier, why stop him right? it will be worse if he needs the nutrients but u dun let him eat?
 
Pris,

Thanks for the info that bm is beneficial up to 6 yrs. I had the intention to continue bf till 1yr old.
Thats my plan but would be dependable on whether I still have the supply then
happy.gif


Pegsfur,

Same thing, im now looking ard for a flattering piece of swimsuit / tankini....
With stretchmark and spare tyre, no more bikini....
 
finally got chance to respond - the last couple of weeks have been mad mad mad.

hae serious maid issues, thinking to send her back. searching frantically for IFCs, the waiting list is minimum 6mths.
sad.gif


no other alternative caregivers, trying to make alternative work arrangements or else got to quit my job.

having renovation work &amp; starting classes in 2 weeks time and spring cleaning - horror of horrors without a maid - anyone can recommend any part time cleaner that goes by the hour?

trying to train zac to sleep thru the night by reducing his night feed but it kinda back fired as he ended up waking up 4-5 times for water/attention instead of the normal 2 times at 12/1am &amp; 4/5am for milk.

trying to wean zac but he still got phelgm - anyone knows if can continue weaning? or shd stick to milk feed?

also, when you introduce cereal - do you subtitute one of the milk feeds? that is, less 1 milk feed?

ah growth spurts also happen at 6mths also right? i was wondering if the walking up at nights is an indication of growth spurts, that is, he IS hungry and he NEEDs more milk feed.

Zac is feeding 210ml every 4 hrly.

another q: anyone's bb here holding their own milk bottle to drink? my little fellow just refuse to hold his bottle.

one more q: is it normal for them to start screaming instead of using their voice? - zac started screaming and using a squeaky voice to chat nowadays (80% of the time)- i can't figure if it's because he just had a sore throat or he's just having fun at mummy's expense. (mummy is worried he has a mickey mouse voice permanently)

happy.gif

piggytoh,
thanks for informing

claire,
my office near there. haha sometimes lunch there.

phy,
me me... my hair loss looks so serious. still dropping like nobody bz. i going botak soon. haiz.

kiki,
i using power 1 as a start then increase to 3-4 depending on my feel that day. if i turn power 1, i see 'spray', then i will wait till 10min later, turn to power 2-3. 5-6 too powerful for me. but nowadays supply greatly affected. seldom see 'spray' liao. chiam.

gin,
u are not alone. my gal is wearing M size diaper. in fact, she can still fit in S if i want.
 
bbmaking,
wow sound like u r having tons of issue to solve manz... take care ah..
my bb alr can hold the bottle himself so sometime o let him lie down n drink himself.. also he love to scream which is kind of irritating ...
 
Jul, haahaa...take a thing at a time, everything will be fine for me. Now I am busy with packing, coaching Kai with homeschooling work, cooking and playing and teaching Ray. The 1st week here was bad, Kai caught flu bug from the flight and Ray was having diarrhoea and here the paed just told me, they will be fine and just let the virus run its course without any mediations for both boys.

Now both are well and I am busy with packing, moving and then will need to go register Kai at the new school about 500m from my new house in Oz.

Thank God, Ray has became more independent, he is able to sleep on his own, play on his own and happy. Just spending some time with him in the afternoon reading, singing, playing and flashing cards.


bbmaking, you might want to check whether Zac is teething as well?
 
Hi Gin,
So funny..was laughing when I read u described ur girl as one mad cow when lying on belly.

Poo
Yeah,my boy drank half way then can see his sheepish or stare blank face then poo poo sound effect followed by aroma.

Hair loss
sob sob, I also noticed tat I have been losing more hair than usual.

C Sec
Hi Gin,if ur wound is bleeding,u better see gyane to check.My boy is 7plus kg and I can already feel the strain.Wound itch but no blood.
Share w u abt this..not to scare u..my aunt's fren had a C sec n then used her legs to shift some books on floor and her wound picha n has to restitch agn. So be careful ok?
 
Felicia,
Ever tried just patting him to sleep when he wakes up even when he screams?Maybe try this for a week,he will get it tat he is NOT getting any water and will give up n sleep.

Pris,
Welcome back!

Bbmaking &amp; Piggytoh,
Abt acreaming bbies,my boy also started screaming lately,think they are discovering this high pitch sound they can make.
As for holding bottle,when he managed to hold forr 4secs,DH and I already happy like mad! Haha..cos it is glass bottle so we said it is like weight training for him.
 
PJPJ,
whenever my son scream i will scold him den he will keep quiet for a while n start again i tink they find it fun bth.. my HB go n record his cryin n when he cried my HB play it let him hear he will quiet down wor thing he scare of his own cryin haha.. i been trainin my son to hold bott since 2mth hold so now he can hold v well even 200ml milk hahah but sometime he will move the bott will fall otu of his hand n he will start cryin again keke...
 
babymaking,

I think you shouldn't rush him into missing night feeds. If he needs milk then give it to him. If you give water and he continues to wake up, means he is hungry. Water doesn't have the nutrients like milk, not full = fussy baby. Better to give him milk then like him fuss and cry, exp at night.

I too had serious maid problems. Not easy to find a maid who knows how to look after kids. That's why I change and change. Haha ... those on my FB will know. Want to try nanny instead of IFC? Nanny more ex, but if no choice no harm trying. My neighbour leaves her 2 kids with her nanny. more convenient too.

RE: Hair loss
I've also tried putting hair tonic since the problem worsen. My hair is already quite short. If cut then CNY look like xiao woman, cannot la. But it's really getting worse and worse man! Sob sob! My hb keeps showing me my photo 10 yrs ago to show me the amt of hair loss, what should I do man! (Short of going to yun nan)
 
babymaking, i also left my boy with nanny. she is charging me @ $600 for weekdays (7am-7pm) same price as the IFC.. more devoted also la cos its 1-to-1

pris.. welcome back!!!!
 
phy_o,

My hair has also been dropping like no body biz fo a few months....
But now it seems like condition is improving...seems to be dropping slightly lesser and I can see alot of baby hair growing, obvious above forehead...hahahhha...
Heard it will stop when bb is ard 6 mths.
Nat is turning 6mth end of this month, so i foresee my hair loss problem to end ard that timing too

Do you notice new hair growing ?
If so, then dun worry so much ya
