Dun think I'm joining you girls on Tues. Causeway pt a bit too far for me.
 
Hi all mummies

Pls share if you had similar experience and what you do to ur baby to overcome it. My bb boy is 4mths old now but he drinks only abt 100ml breast milk each feed.In fact he was ard drinking this amt when is is one mth old and subsequently increase to abt 130ml but now dip to only 100ml. Worst thing is that he will not drink when he is awake and active, he will only drink when he is sleepy and drinks only inside the sarong! He also will only latch at night when he really deep sleep that time. I also tried to prolong his feeding time when we are outside but he dun seems to be hungry as he also will reject milk after abt 4 to 5hrs outside without milk!

He started this pattern abt 3mths old during the time when he had his 3rd vacin. I did nt consult PD cos I thought maybe bb had certain pattern and will change very quickly but since it persisted on for a month now that I am worried. Is it normal? Some ppl comment that maybe he wanted to start solid food that's y reject milk but I prefer to start only when he is 6mths old as he is on breastmilk.

On one hand, I can't continue to let him to be fed in this manner right else it became habit and only drink in sarong and sleeping state. But on the other hand, I can't be letting him go hungry until he wanted to drink by normal way right? I really not sure wat to do.

Anyone can advise pls.....

jolimilk

i'm here so often b/c i only pump, dun latch, so need to occupy myself while being a milk cow haha

looks like $299 is abt the cheapest liao? hmm.. wonder if worth getting, esp if i'm gonna be pumping ard only 1.5mth more. maybe shd just rent?

acneery

sounds like ur bb's on milk strike. my pd mentioned when my bb turned 4mths that some bbs will do this coz they've eaten n gained enough, their milk intake may even drop to half.. but he said it's ok n just temp. only need to start solids if the bb is really not gaining weight at all.

but i've not encountered this myself lah. my bb only gets distracted but he'll still drink eventually.

<font color="0000ff">jolimilk</font>

thanks! i was also wanting to ask how to bold or colour my font..kekek.. now i am learning too.

<font color="119911">Aceenary</font>

i think there is not much to worry about la.. my boy also reduce in his milk intake since 3rd month but as long as he is healthy and active, there is no issue to be worried about. my first gal also like that, gradually lost interest in milk after 3rd month. but my boy is not ready for semi solids yet. he has gained enough weight (and milk) and now slowly taking interest in other things. how's your bb's weight percentile? good range?

<font color="ff6000">mummies,</font>
anyone pump using hands and not milk pump? lol, i am one lazy mummy who does that since my boy who turned 2 months old. realise it does give me a better idea how much milk i still have left in my boobs when i use my hands to squeeze out instead.
 
waiwai> prob is when he is awake, he dunno how to roll. only when he sleeps he roll -_-

period> erms. seems like my period not back yet. before was prob juz spotting. cos i finished this mth's supply of contraceptive pills, but still no sign of period -_-

<font color="ff0000">jul</font>> let me try de color =p
 
<font color="0000ff">Jul</font> - Yah... went back to work on the 5th of Jan...

Still coping and manage to pump twice a day...

Now I can login to SMH only cause got iPhone.. honestly if without this phone, I won't even be able to check mails loh..

Hahaha
 
<font color="aa00aa">Rach</font>>i also will think of you sometime! ha actually thought we will meet up before i start wk, thats why initially didnt opt for postage for my stuff.
<font color="aa00aa">Jul, Milkyway</font>> he definitely can afford to put on some weight :p plus when they start to be more mobile, will till to lose the fat.
 
Aceenary
The pd advise me to start semi solid since my gal not keen on the bm. Think I will insist to start after 6 months. My gal drop from 150ml to 120ml. Sometimes, only 90 ml.

Jul,
I bought the 2nd hand chest freezer at $120. Still under warrantly. I checked the mkt price around 300. Used for half year so think still worth it. You can start a thread to test response.
 
wai wai,
Is your no 1 v active? Mine kanna another wound today. Hit against rusty bar. Not sure will have any problem or not. So heart pain.
His er lang sheng mark just started to fade.
 
steph> i oso wan an iphone. but my office cannot take camera phones to wk..

rach> now still got baby cubes or not ah? -_-

connie> aiyoh. my boy so interested in food leh. now wat i eat he wans a share. sian la. afternoon we eat dessert at mof he stare non stop, but really nothing to let him eat. den teabreak i eat bread, he oso wan. i let him lick de bread he so happy -_-" den dinner again. wah lau, but i was eating sashimi at sakuraya la. den all raw food, cant think of wat to let him eat, he cry non stop. spoilt my dinner. zzz
 
<font color="0000ff">Jul</font>- I paid just $108 for it that's why can afford it loh.

<font color="0000ff">mwerkz</font>- u work in gov office?
 
<font color="0000ff">jul,</font>
actually it's quite simple lei... eh, even if you anyhow squeeze also got milk squirting out. just use one hand to hold a container or a bottle, the other hand squeeze from ribcage towards the nipples. rotate to ensure that the milk ducts all over are cleared!try it and see if it works. i find that hand express has a higher yield. or is it just me being very rough with my boobs? lolx!
 
Wow... it's been such a long time since I last logged in man. Sounds like everyone's doing well. That's great!

Marc was on Enfa, but we've switched him to Friso as of late. He was a staggerring 8.6kg as of 4 mths.

I think the brand of milk is secondary as long as your kid is not fussy and will drink it. They all have slight differences with regards to formulation but I believe they all do just bout the same thing. PDs and Hospitals will just push whichever brand that's willing to give the freebies, so it's really down to choice.

Have a great day!
 
<font color="119911">mwerkz</font>
haha, my boy also like your boy... When I eat, his mouth drooling and moving non-stop, but lucky din cry (yet).

<font color="ff0000">jas_soh</font>
wah! u so good...lazy? i think hand-express is more hardworking than pumping cos pumping jus sit there only and let the pump do the work. I tried to hand-express before when I was going to engorge and din have my pump with me. My hands all aching after that. Pumping is much much easier for me. I never dared leave home without my pump after that, ha ha

<font color="119911">gerald</font>
wow, your boy chubby chubby hor? Mine only 7kg at 4 months. But ok la, so long as he's healthy and thriving, he's fine...

<font color="ff0000">jul_04</font>
ya lor...that's why I've also been thinking and thinking about it. Sekali, buy already, then supply dip, wasted my money. But if really need to get, sometimes Carrefour have 10% discount for POSB everyday card members, so I'll wait and see la...

Any <font color="ff6000">mummies</font> have problems with the Farfalla freezer manual defrosting?
 
Jassie
Wouldn't your fingers ache?? esp the thumb?? mine hurts real bad until no strength to press whenever i hand express for too long

Jolimilk
I have the farfalla chest freezer. quite bad leh. everyday have to scrap ice off and still there's alot of ice inside. Can't defrost coz no place to put the milk while defrosting
 
prinzess

oic haha, i'm trying not to make mine put on weight too fast

cookiez

yeah i figured also
happy.gif
it's ok. i managed to find a bp seller

connie

$120 quite worth. think rental is $50/mth right? use 3mths worth liao.

what brand is your freezer?

steph

so cheap???
 
Kris,
Thanks for info.

I wonder if the Farfalla drawer one will be the same, as in if the drawers will actually stop the "growing" ice.
 
jassie

wah.. sound complicated leh. plus i very lazy.. just wanna sit n let the pump do the work hehe

jolimilk

if can get for $150 or less, i think i'l buy 2nd hand. coz i pump another 1 or 2mths can still use? besides my freezer compartment is exploding with fbm - not coz i have a lot but coz the freezer's soooo small!
 
<font color="119911">jolimilk &amp; jul,</font>

eh, i say i lazy cuz i find it very 'lek chie' to fit all the different parts of the pump together and wait for the let down to collect the milk! plus my medela electric kinda leak and milk is wasted when i don't fit the funnel at the right angle. Too lazy to pull the parts apart and wash and sterilise too..hahah..hence whenever i feel like pumping, i just just a sterilised bottle and SQUEEZE! no more bringing pumps out nor worry about leaving behind a part of the pump when i go out! lighter bags! keke..

<font color="0000ff">kris,</font>

fingers aching ah? eh, i take it as an exercise lor..hahah.. as for thumbs aching, i think mine hurt due to carrying my very very heavy boy more than from the pumping. when it comes to hand pumping, i use all my ten fingers to work for me.. lol.. you will get the hang of it if you try more often.
 
<font color="ff6000">myfavchoco,</font>
very nice!!! wow, you can catch his wide smile! if only I can do just as well..hee. my boy has a dimple on his right, but i have NEVER managed to capture it. sigh. :~)
 
jassie,
hahaa.. must be fast fast. or u ask ur hubby or who play wif him while u snap snap snap.
my boy like to smile alot so quite easy to snap. maybe he wan haolian to me he got 2 dimple. hahaa
 
<font color="119911">myfavchoco</font>
So cute! What makes him so happy?

<font color="119911">Jassie</font>
Me too! I've been trying to video my bb laughing but once I take my camera/phone out, he'll stop laughing and just stare at the camera/phone :/
 
<font color="119911">Jassie</font>
happy.gif
we all learn together la... I'm sure we have so much more to learn from everyone here.

Hand express - but I find it very difficult leh... I can only do it when breast is getting hard and can never quite clear it. How nice if my hands are as effective as my pumps. ;P

<font color="ff6000">myfavchoco</font>
aiyo....your boy SOOOoooo cute!!! How do you piece the photos together?

I have resent the e-mail again to whoever have PMed me. Some said cannot see the attachment maybe because I sent via iphone. Please check if you can see it.

Gerald,
I don't have your e-mail leh. You gonna PM me, k!

Or someone in this thread is kind enough to compile a e-mail list of all mummies (and daddy) so that we can just mass e-mail all when there is something to share. Is this list exists?
 
<font color="0000ff">itsy</font>
ha ha, my boy same like yours. He'll be laughing laughing, talking, etc. But the moment he sees the cam, he'll stop and stare at it... very conscious...
 
kam
got the email with attachment. thanks so much..so gian to get the bouncer for my gal.. it's pink too!! but hub sure not keen lor.. sigh... he says use awhile only not worth, blah blah...

itsy
my gal too... she can turn from happily smiling to sudden frowning upon seeing the cam/hp lor... need to b hands-legs fast to capture her smile! or do it discreetly if someone else is playing with her.. hehe
 
Hey hey...

Can anyone recommend walkers/push carts? I know it's way too early, but given my busy schedule, just thinking of buying one and getting it off my 'to-do list'.

Thanks Kam and Milkyway for the help. Much appreciated.
 
<font color="0000ff">Jul</font> - Yah... $108 for the phone... I'm with Starhub and my plan is $90+ a month one... Maybe that's why its $108...

<font color="0000ff">Gerald</font> - Just want to share that when I get walkers, I will get one which has the option of standing on the "mat" thing... that means if I dun wan baby to walk on the floor, I can put that and baby can jump jump on it...

Cause its not exactly good to let baby on walker for too long... baby tends to push with their toes instead of walking...

<font color="0000ff">Kam</font> - Kidsloft promo ah... can send me the mailer? Its stephie1735 at gmail dot com

Thanks!
 
Gerald,
Eh? What did I help you with? Or you mean milkway already sent you the attachment?

For the walker/push cart, this is what we got for our boy, who started walking at 10months.

http://babyhaore.blogspot.com/2008/09/walk-walking-walked.html

I would say this kind of walker/push cart DOES really help my #1 to stand/walk. Think only a few models in the market. The one I have is from Playskool (chose by hubby) and I have seen one from Fisher Price.
