What???? Are you sure it's std practice in hospitals? If it is, I'll sue the hosp for malpractice!

Btw I think they don't allow such things to happen anymore. Coz as far as I know, they use pre-mixed formula in hospitals.
 


My gal's feeding now

?am 180ml + breakfast
1230pm half a bowl porridge or udon + 150ml milk
1.30-4.30pm nap
4.30pm 180ml milk
6.30pm dinner: rice/porridge/noodles
8.30pm 180ml milk
9.30pm supper - cheese cubes
10.00pm top up 60ml milk if she finished the 180ml milk earlier in one sitting.
 
mashy,
I m thinking of giving supper. What is your kids' supper time?

jul, the nurse is very senior very experienced. I trust her lah. Let me go back to retrieve the daily feeding record. I'll post it after lunch time.
 
Mashy

Hhaa… she hit bro first ah? Haha..
I think girls learns faster than boys when they are young. So they also kw she will win? Hehe..
My friend girl is a terror last time.
He said she cry until vomit and pls she is only pretending to cry so she can get things she wants or other stuff lor. Alamak..

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

Jul

Me also not so easy. U kw have been beating him on his hands recently since weekend due to that.
I told my mum must beat him cannot smack smack not painful than he will not learn
U kw he is getting bad to worst. I cannot understand why recently keep on like that. Previously he kok not so frequently now a lot liao le..
Like today this mrn he did that again and I smack his palm. He cried but don dare. I told my mum if next time got any problem is her fault than she scared. Haha..
Bad right?

Than at home I keep on telling him. Haiz.. don kw why like to kok his head. Like when carry him, he cried hor, he bang us than I smack again.
But I see him recently keep on crying like so poor thing.

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

Pegsfur

My aunty told me lunch time must give them rice than dinner can give him something light like noodles or something but not rice cos their digestive system still nt so fa da like us.

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

BB

Maybe its just a small cranky part of growth?
It will be better after sometime? I don think its hungry ba.

===============================
 
BB:: oh, since the senior who attended to you 'advise' this.. then.. i don't know. take it as it's ok..since she said it's hospital practice.

anyways, i suggest u do keep a look out for whitish poo..... and since you're only doing it for the night feed... then should be ok?!?


jul:: my hosp oso give pre-mixed formula.. upon discharge, i thick-skin.. request for additional 1-2 bottles oso! bahahahhahaha~
 
fatbobo, what is whitish poo? White in color? Poo poo white??? possible mah? *fainted*

sbb, I also suspect it's just cranky part of growth. But need to eliminate all possibilities. I lack of sleep for 2 weeks liao. Last time she sleeps from 10pm to morning 7am or 8am. If I wake up at 6am, I'll feed her milk. But now I've to drag the time to 5am to 6am then feed her milk. Really very tired.
 
Anyone tried "sleep feeding"? i did that for no.1... so she usually have her last feed at 8-9 before she sleep and hubby/me will feed her again before we sleep (12am-1am?) and that can usually last until 7am...
 
Lizz

still sleep feeding? My gal refused that when
she was younger. But anyway we don't need to now. She sleeps from 1030pm till 830am. Sometimes like today, she woke at 10am! I think maybe coz she
sleeps with me so can sleep better and longer.
 
Mashy: i did that for my eldest girl until 18-20 months... i think its ok since hubby usually sleeps late anyway... hehe

For my #2, there is no need cos she sleeps ALOT. haha... She can sleep at 9pm-6/7am since full month...

her daily timing is like this

wakes up 6am
sleep 8am
wake up 10am
nap 12noon
wake up 2pm
sleep 5pm
wake up 6pm
sleep 9pm

which is why, we call her the sleeping beauty!
 
Liz:: we sometimes "sleep feed"..or i think some ppl call it "dream feed" my girls too. sometimes is because they din finish their milk just before sleep.. so after 1-2hrs, we will "sleep/dream feed" them to finish up the milk.


-sighz- my girls are still waking up for milk.. but these days, don't know izit cos they're sick..too tired or what... they seem to be drinking less in the night, n on one or two nights, din wake up for milk. wah seh.. i hope this will STOP their night feeds totally manz! hoho~


on a side-note, my younger sis lagi power!! she can even eat when she sleep! (i cant rmbr wat's the reason need to eat.....) but she could chew on bread n swallow....n all the while..still sleeping!! bahahahha~
 
BB

Actually u kw my boy have always been cranky during sleeping time. And I can fully understand sleepless night.
That time really fed up.
His sleeping time is 9-8am or 10-8am.
Maybe u try to let yr child eat jin feng shan? Maybe got frighten so cant sleep?
That time I heard ppl saying 1-3 is the most Yin time. Since they are very small they can get disturb easily if their yang is nt so strong.

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

Liz

We never tried night feeding. Only when he is bb when he cried than give. Later on I guess abt 3 mths already stop everything.
I think better don get it a habit. Later next time wo milk cant sleep how.. than u all have to wake up.

Wa.. yr gal can really sleep hehe.. good hor.. than u all gt time.
My son around 1030hrs sleep abt 2hrs. than at 3pm sleep again about 2hrs.

===========================
 
sbb, my MIL told me could be my new pregnancy that cause it. I try not to think about it. Now maybe should also think think. I'll check out jin feng shan and pearl powder. Thanks.
 
kiki,
Last time it also took very long for ovann to finish even 3 spoonfuls of rice. But recently he seem to be able to chew better and faster so my feeding time has cut down alot, and he eats more too. Not sure if it's becos i start to give him soup so its easier to chew?

jul/ sbb
Haha ... ya, i vaguely remembered reading that meals later in the day shld be light, but i guess it's our chinese habit of eating rice bah. He seems ok, cos i give him rice at 5+, den 7pm 100ml milk and 10pm his last milk feed at 240ml.

re: dream feeding
I thot it was not encouraged for our tods now since it promotes tooth decay? I so scared of this that i'll make ovann drink some plain water after drinking his last milk of the day, hoping to sort of wash away the milk on his teeth.
 
Pegsfur

u are right. After they have teeth not advisable to dream feed or worse, sleep with a bottle.

My gal hasn't been eating very much now. Just chew a few spoonful dun wan already. Sigh. She is a social eater. If there are pp eating with her, she eats more.
 
sbb, I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Still not stable. Just hoping the best.

sharon, my girl so far teething no problem. She has never behave like this. Half wake up flip this side uncomfortable, flip that side also, flip to the opposite side also cannot, keep flipping n flipping but after 6am (a/f drinking milk) she will sleep better.

My girl yesterday meal schedule:-
6am: 150ml
8am: banana cereal 12 teaspoons
9am: 150ml
11.30am: sweet corn cod fish/pork porridge (half bowl - minus 2 teaspoons cant finish)
1pm: 180ml
4pm: strawberry yogurt + half slice bread
6pm: chicken porridge (half bowl)
8pm: 90ml
10pm: 210ml
 
suddenly came to remember... my girls are 17 mths old today! time flies huh~

2yrs ago this time.. we wld hv just found out that we were pregnant! WOW~
 
BB (baby waking)
mine has been waking up 2-3hrly every since 3m til now 16m lor, after i started to latch n nurse during night time...just stopped bf in nov, but land up i think baby still habit.til now still waking up 2.5-3hrly leh...talk abt shiong...he sleep like 8-9pm, wake up 12am, 3am, 6am, 730am.

i tried give 150ml at 12am (prev 120ml), but by 2.3am/3am, he will wake up n demand milk, so give again 90ml..then by 530/6am will wake up n cry for milk again n i give 120ml. then will sleep til 730am....
i really duno what to do liao lor...any advice??
i heard say let baby cry dun give lor or give water, but he like dun wan leh.. also duno how long will he cry...?? i wanted to let him cry last night, n hubby scolded me say if hungry then jsut give milk lor...why must let him cry...

the advisor said slowly give less each time...but he seem to wake up even at shorter stretch instead...but give more, also wake up same timing.. so duno whether really hungry or not.

i m super tired liao, cos i m the type that take very long to go back to sleep like 30min plus..by then another hr the baby stirs again...faint....so every night get few hrs sleep for the past 16M...

any one else havings same problems or any solutions?? (sorry for the long complain...)
 
jeni:: haha.. i mean.. sigh.. sorry.
actually i hv same problem like u.. but i too, no solutions!

n like u.. im the light sleeper sort.. wake up niah..so jeng xin le.. will need at least 30mins to 1hr then can sleep back agan! if i wake up for the 3-4am feed..gone case, no need to sleep! then the more i try to make myself sleep...the more difficult it will be..n the more pek chek i will be.......... grrrrrrrrrrrr~
 
babys,
maybe yours is those "unriped" pimple? since it hurt? monitor closely ok...

jacqueline,
quite popular for mummies to prepare present from the #2 to give #1 so mentally #1 will not have hard feelings towards their younger sibling.

BB,
Has Lindy's molars came out? My frend's boy slept thru all the way till bout 18mths, then starting waking at nite, she says it's due to teething molars, so told me that Ryan might experience the same
But Ryan has never sleep thru! Teething, hungry, thirsty? I have also been wondering why...
sad.gif


Re: drypers drypantz
Anyone using? BP got promo 4 packets for $50
Cheap but need $200 to get free delivery
Anyone interested to share?
Promo price I buy at giant, still paid $29.90 for 2 packets
 
Pegsfur

Your timing very good to feed him at 5pm++. Cos rice during night time for kids takes about 4hrs for digestion. So by the time yr bb sleep, already digested. Good good!!!
happy.gif

U kw my mother when take care of him during mon-fri always give him timing eat around 7. Haiz..
When sat/sun I take care I feed him always early one. Hmmm...

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

Dream feeding

I don encourage too. Cos it will cause tooth decay its correct.
We also don wake up for food ma. Hhee.e.

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

BB

Oh 6 weeks. It could be. I heard old ppl got say before leh.
But if someone else could sleep with her is better since nw u pregnant early stage u requires more rest.

=======================
 
Jeni / Fatbobo

I have no problem getting back to sleep if wake up n gg back to sleep
Same here problem, my son will sob sob or cry every 3hrs like that.
I remember the first time when he didn make too much noise for me the whole night.
We were like finally saw some results.
I have been trying not to sleep with my boy when he was about 10mths (I think so).
I guess after that when he cry, I let him sob a bit till he goes quiet (but fast one) or until he big cry than I go attend to him.
I think that works.
But one thing is that my boy sleep sarong, and after that I will put him to bed.
 
Sharon,
Lindy's bottom left and right each side one molar has already out. I've to check the top. Didnt check for a month liao. Her bottom molars out no symptoms at all.

sbb,
My MIL told me but the message just went into one ear and out from the other. Maybe tonight I let my mil sleep with her n see if Lindy flips flips again.

I only suffer 2 weeks niah already so zombie. Salute those mommies dont sleep for months!
 
BB

Actually since he was born, I didn really have a good sleep.
Only when I guess he sleeps alone than better. Sometimes was thinking how nice it is when haven have kid haha.. can do whatever I like la..
Go here and there. Now go here there must bring the xiao gua.

But I guess you have to let your MIL sleep with her for few days and see how?
1 day no effect one ba?? 
 
BB
congratulations n take good care. can ask your husband to look after your your gal for these few nights while you rest more.

Re: sleep
my gal used to sleep about an hour in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon but as she grows bigger, now 17 months, she only sleeps in the afternoon. just wants to play & play. She can sleep at 10pm and wake up at 6am. My nanny say she's too 花心 。。。
 
mashy

Ur gal drinks a lot of milk hor?

BB

Hmm.. ok. I was taught by WBB never to play ard with the proportions of milk powder, & I tend to treat her words like Bible,.. hehe

sbb

Hiaz.. very worrisome when their temper is so bad hor? Also dunno how to teach
sad.gif


Aiyah my MIL contradictory one. At nite cannot give carrot coz hard to digest. But shd give rice & potato so that he's more full. Er.. cannot digest yet need to eat full full? Really no logic one lor.

bobo

I din ask abt FM. That time, I still thought FM = poison!

Sleep & eat??? How to???

pegsfur

Hiaz,.. I still can't make Sam brush teeth. he takes the toothbrush & tries to brush OUR teeth. I really give up on this boy lor!

I think he's having major tooth decay liao. No brushing, no wiping with cloth, no bristle brush.. no water after milk
sad.gif



jeni

Can you up the feed at 12am? Maybe 150ml is not enough? Sam drinks 200+ml 3 feeds a day.

joeey

Sam also very 花心. So hard to make him sleep!
 
joeey, thanks. I cross my finger first. Next Monday hopefully can see the heartbeats. Last Monday doc saw 2 sacs but one of them could be a blood clot or one of them could be bleeding n cannot make it. Too early to conclude anything. I really try not to think or hope too much. My husband cant hear/feel Lindy movements in the night. He sleeps like a dead log. Lindy ends up on the floor he may not know too ah.

sbb, guess I m too old to stay up in the night leh. 2 weeks only, I really cant tahan. Now cannot drink coffee I feel worst! My 3pm coffee time becomes eyelids dropping time. Tonight I'll talk to my MIL n try one or two night first. Most likely she will come to my room to sleep and I go over to her room cos my room has all the milk powder and water and bottles.
 
Oh must share something funny my MIL did last night. I was passing by the kitchen on my way to the living room. My MIL suddenly called me into the kitchen where she & FIL were having their dinner. So hush-hush & urgent.. I thought something terrible had happened.

Turned out she told me to hold off being preggie till Jul or Aug, then my baby will be a Dragon baby. I told her I don't want a Dragon baby - squeeze for hospital, CC, schools, O level, A levels, uni places.. She said won't lah, Hubs also Dragon. Dragon very good. I'm a Horse, Hubs is a Dragon, Sam is an Ox, we shd have another BIG animal in the family.

THEN she called Hubs into the kitchen & proceeded to tell him to have a Dragon baby.

Shake head.. So a Dragon & a Horse mated & gave birth to an Ox. And now to balance things in the family, we shd mate again & have another Dragon. Quite silly (& amusing)
happy.gif
 
izit supposed to be "hong xim" (in hokkien)? then.. errh.. shld be.. "风心"? bahaha~

aiya.. for my girls.. they can be like so stick to their schedules mon-fri.. but when it's weekends, or say p/h.... pattern come out liao!!

or simply put it.. they juz cant resist to bully me!!!
 
Jul,

Dragon and Goat mate will also give birth to ox..
AHAHHAHAHAha...
and I think we will also have another dragon in the family istead of rabbit...
 
i heard some old folks mentioned.. if 3 generation hv the same zodiac is good.. as like grandparent -> parent -> child....

so hor.. when your child is 23.. faster ask him/her to 'mate' to produce another dragon grandchild for u... HUAT ARH~
 
bobo

haha I use "mate" coz she treat us like animals mah. Animals mate right? *wink*

Wah! 24 how to make it? Just graduate only leh.

dolcevita

So u're gog to wait till your hse is ok?
 
ha..so if husband n wife are dragon, ok to have dragon baby???
though i don't think i m going to have another baby la....already super duper zonked for 16M of almost no sleep....can't imagine to go through tat again n the pains of pregnancy n delivery and breastfeeding, plus handle a toddler....n still go to work...

wah u mummies amazing to have 2nd one so fast....congrats! rabbit or dragon both nice la...but after that the year...not that good liao bah...
 
jeni

I dunno much & dun believe in zodiacs coz of my faith..

But I think not every Dragon yr is good. Think the really cheem pple need to match 8 characters of the immediate family.. and each Dragon yr is different.. got gd dragon & bad dragon.. blah blah
 
Jul,

Ya will only start to try in my new house...hahaha
Im getting keys on 17th Jan !!! So happy !
But that also mean my pocket is going to kena big hole.
Not going to reno so soon cos nearing CNY..so by the time I move in settle down and start to try, definitely a dragon baby...
 
Jul

Actually I was actually thinking no body teaches the bb right?
So from young their temper is already so bad than grow up how? Alamak.
My friend bb temper also quite bad. Haiyo.. its not like never really teach them wor..

Food, hmmm... I tried to feed my bb 80% full at night. So he won get so full. But if my mum feed him so late how to avoid getting full when want to drink milk later

Jul, must brush teeth for him. I realize if they didn brush hor.. later salvia got smell one. Not like bb smell liao le lor cos they eating solid food.
====================

My bb TIMING if I take care of him

745am wake up, drink water first.
845am drink milk 200ml
10am eat cereal
1030am sleep
1230pm wake up and lunchie
330pm drink milk 180ml and nap
530pm wake up and makan dinner
930-10pm drink milk 180ml and kunning

====================
 
BB

You got 2 sac ah? Can be twins. If got twins hor.. than can close factory liao le. Haha...
Cos that means u got 3 children liao le.
Actually I think the government should implement longer ML for people who have twins. Right?
Like maybe 4mths becomes 6mths. Haha...

I think 1 day 1 coffee is alright right?
U ask your MIL to try for 1 week see how is it? I think its better for you to sleep more as you are pregnant.

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

Fatbobo

Sure bo? 3 generation same zodiac is good ma?
Never heard of that man. I was thinking whether to get pregnant this year and get a saggi kid. But than my mother ask me get a dragon one better. She ask me try end of this year. Jia lat. Haha.. maybe I would want a Gemini one.

My hubby is dragon and im rooster. Hehe..

===================================
 
sbb

Sam's saliva stinks since he started solids. And he refuses to brush. I also dunno how.

sharon

Haha the finding out of how to do is difficult lor. I wish I could do it online rather than having to go there & queue
sad.gif
 
dolce,
Congrats! We r gonna be neighbours when u move in
happy.gif


jul
Hahaa .. right!!! MIL is bad dragon, while i'm the good dragon!!!

Regarding 'mating' ... haha .. had double lines on my opk 2 days ago. Not that i'm ttc again, just that i keep having this egg white mucus and i counted the days it seems early for me to be ovulating, so took out my opk to test. Turns out really had 2 lines. A part of me wanted to tell hubby to do 'OT' dat nite, but a part of me chickened out. In the end i leave it to fate .. if hubby initiate it, den will work 'OT'. If not, will let it pass. Turns out we didn't
