Cherrios, i'm near LAX. aiyah... end of the month, i'll still be back in Sg, o/w can arrange to meet u... it'll be nice to meet a Singaporean here.
I didn't buy any bumper mats yet. baby plays on my bed but i think she's not having that much fun.
Pris, I was wondering the same thing as u abt Ylang Ylang's case. in California, it is illegal to ask a woman to stop breastfeeding in public. not sure about pumping and office though...
I think can try to give MOM a call. afterall, the country wants more babies right? i think working mums, esp those who choose to breastfeed, could really do with more support.

oh one more question,many ppl say start bb on solid after six mths is better,my gal count by weeks is already 24 weeks which mean 6 mths,but if by mths,another two weeks more then consider 6 mths ,so count by weeks is more accurate or by mths?

ya i nag at hb liao haha ask him go and say,he say okok will go and correct her.. i find i go work better rather then stay at home with mil only,so boring,bt at work will miss my gal.
ylang, i also stay with MIL, fully understd how u feel. It's no use telling hubby to convey the msg to MIL. MIL will misinterpret and think we 'da-xiao-bao-gao' to their beloved son.
Everythg abt the baby, MIL will tell me even though it is done by her son. Eg 1, my husb carry the baby, the baby's top roll up, revealing baby's navel button, then my MIL will tell me to adjust the baby's clothing, "pull down abit, if not, wind will enter baby's stomach"
Eg 2: Husb placed baby in the jumperoo then go to the kitchen to take water and drink, while I am in bedroom. MIL will come all the way to bedroom to tell me to carry baby out of jumperoo, cannot let the baby jump too long, just eaten , wait he vomit milk etc.
Everythg done by his son, she will come n feedback to me, as if I am the one who did this..did that. Buay tahan.
This is why i rather work than stay home face MIL whole day.

ylang,
My HB always tell me that I hv to manage his parents like stake holders... must make them happy but yet have to be firm.
Say easy lah... do not so easy lor
I felt that no matter how, the ils sure more concern about their own son and grandchild more that us, the DIL lor.

ylang,
i dont stay with my mil but we almost every weekend went over to mil house. I will let mu hub to handle baby so whenever she sees not right, she will tell my hub, i just browse website, pretend never hear hehehehehe. If i hear not right, I will tell my hub when we reach our own home, hub will convey message to her in the next visit. But if she insists her rights, my hub will handle her. Think is her son, at least the conflict not that great.

ylang,
it's a pity for you to force to stop. i oso plan to stop. so now i try to drag longer period. last month was 4 sessions a day.
from 2 days ago, i try to drag and drop the afternoon pump in the office cos i feel bad when colleague want to take refreshment but i was inside. now i pump 6.30am, 7.30pm & 11.30pm. hopefully when bb officially 6mos, i can drop another pump.

ylang : we sama-sama....the part abt ur MIL dun allow u to hire confinement auntie wow...me as a outsider, listen this also find it ridiculous and unfair to u !~
she not the one forking out the $, should heck care her.
u help them deliver a baby, go thru labour pain then ur husb and MIL shd help to wash plates. And that is soemthing so minor.
I think if i am you, i will get depression during confinement period, u are really strong.
