So good! 10pm -4am.. that's 6hrs of sleep for you. Hopefully Ian can 'catch up' soon. I'll put Ian to bed at 11pm daily but on avg, he'll only fall asleep at abt 12:30am and wakes at 5am! Sigh.. Do u have difficulty getting your gal to fall asleep in her cot? It's a struggle for me every nite.

I change diaper more than 8-9 times a day! Really going broke! How to save on diaper? Dun change even when bb has pooed? But he'll fuss and fuss till his diaper gets changed.

I managed to upload the video last night

<font color="119911">bbq98</font>
I'll change bb's diaper once in the middle of nite when he wakes for feed. Have to else diaper might leak in the morning. Using Drypers Wee Wee Dry M size. I just use wipe and skip the cream. He'll be awake, I fast fast change and feed him.. then hope and pray he'll fall back to sleep.
 


<font color="119911">Desitin</font>
I've 1 new tube of Desitin Creamy, anyone wants to buy over from me?

<font color="119911">Diaper Size</font>
Paige I agree! I like to let Ian use granny panty PAMPERS for night time too but very ex.
 
To all who responded, thanks. I usually will change once around 3-4am (which is about 6 hrs from last change) and my babies will always kick very vigorously (be it awake or sleeping). It will be like fighting a battle, got to do it real fast, just in case I wake them or they pee. For the past few nights, my younger one, without fail, will pee on himself.

Hmm, I guess, I will leave it unchanged then since most of you are not doing it.

Itsy, have to change if poo. I would, just in case I feed the baby and the poo leaks on me. There is no need to change everytime the baby pees if you want to cut down on the number of diaper used. I use only 5 a day per baby.

Jul, it's up to your comfort level. The max I will feel comfortable about leaving BM in warmer is 2hrs but will usually feed them within an hour. I always wonder why Avent needs only a few mins while Pigeon needs about 15 mins for a 110ml bottle. However, Rach said hers only a few mins and she is using Pigeon too.

Paige, 4 tubes is a lot. I hate applying the cream because I always make a mess.
 
kiki> huh? if got poo will get uti? faint. my boy poos very often. a little at a time one leh. if like tat, den siao liao. will be bz changing his diapers whole day long

jul> lol. y buy 2 same warmer?

waiwai> gees. but i lazy to check his diapers. but i apply desitin at every diaper change, so his butt is olways coated with one layer of protection

paige> oo. keke. i was oso there when deir grandma passed away. his grandma not ur grandma ah? so confused

my boy is still using S fitti =p he is 5.5kg yesterday at 11wks. he still cant fit S pampers

i use desitin at every diaper change leh. keke. i oso ordered 2 more tubes from jenn
 
<font color="0000ff">bbq98</font> initially was using dropolene and i had to use its after every change, finished 1 tube in a week! so when i changed to desitin, I thought must use after everychange too (not knowing its rather good at doing its job, hence am only applying twice a day now)!!
Do you know how long we need to use Desitin for? up till 1 yr old?

<font color="0000ff">mwerkz</font> no,no, its more complicated than that! We are distant cousins lah, his grandpa is my grandma's brother
happy.gif
Wow, my daughter will be 12 weeks in 2 days' time and today she weighs in at 6.7kgs!!! :p
 
kam,
hmm..but larger size diaper won't leak? coz it doesn't fit properly, if loose it will still leak, no? i've got nepia S which i've not used yet, coz i find it big for my gal now. maybe i'd try that for nite time then. currently i'm using pampers S during day time.

paige,
4 tubes would probably last for a yr for me. you should be able to use finish lah..no worries.
happy.gif


waiwai,
if my gal poo while i bathe her, i think i will scream and cry. can't imagine! coz i'm all alone at home taking care of her during the day..and i have to bathe her alone too! everytime i bathe her, my knees ache and my back hurts. wanted to get the bath stand but my hb disapproves, coz he said its dangerous, might topple over with the baby inside.

itsy,
yes, i've got difficulty putting my gal to sleep if i just dump her in the cot and stand there patting her. she will just keep looking up at me with her pretty big eyes and coo. firstly, i got to stand there damn long, my arms will ache and i'd feel restless standing. so normally daytime, i let her sleep on my bed, i take the opportunity to rest too, lying there while patting her. once she is soundly asleep, i'd carry her and put her in her cot. night time also the same. she will sleep with her daddy on the bed and then i'd carry her to the cot.

i'm using pampers S throughout the day now...thats why i say i feel like can go broke on diapers! when i ran out of mamypoko, i ask her daddy to buy diapers, he came home with 2 largest pack of Pampers! i nearly fainted. i think its too expensive to use Pampers throughout the day at the rate she demands her diapers to be changed. i scolded her daddy of coz, but obviously, he doesn't feel the pinch like i do. grrrrrr....

bbq98,
now u say your babies kick very vigourously ah? keke.. wait till they can turn over, changing diapers will be even more challanging!
 
michelle,
Not to worry. When your baby gets hold of his bowel movement, he won't poo a little bit a little very often liao.


Kiki,
worth trying. S and M size don't differ that much anyway. My #1 has to wear XXL (a bit loose on him) at night, if not sure leak the next morning, while he can still (just) fit in XL.


Paige,
Even now I have stopped applying Desitin dilligently. Only apply if we see her but turns reddish. My hubby doesn't like to apply anything on her little princess.
 
<font color="0000ff">JUMPEROO</font>
Anyone has this?? any good? what's the min and max age you've used for your kids so far???
 
Paige,
I was very tempted to buy 1 for my #1 a couple of years back. But at the end didn't get one cos it's too costly for a few months use, got an exersaucer instead.
 
<font color="119911">Kiki</font>
I place the bath tub on foldable table. You can get it from Toyogo at TPY, they're not very big, just nice for bb bath tub and have metal legs so it's really stable.
 
Anyone needs NAN HA1? I hav 6 bottles fr TMC to be given away. Expire on 9/12/09. Collection at CCK or Bishan MRT only. PM me.

<font color="#6600ff">Angel</font>

Kairi feeds on 2-4hrly intervals in the day. Not fixed... I gauge 6 feeds a day... After 1am she would sleep till 6-7am. And she's taking 120ml per feed... Only 8weeks 3days and she's taking the amount <font color="#6600ff">Kams'</font> baby of 3months is taking! Hope my supply will go up with her demand. >.<

<font color="#6600ff">Paige</font>

Mushroom hair needs layering to save the day.

<font color="#6600ff">Bbq</font>

I change diapers for her when I know she's going to wake up for feed. When she makes noise for more than 5 mins. I know she's gonna wake up. So before she starts wailing... I/HB pick her up to change her diapers. I apply cream 4 times a day... When she was not yet 1 month I applied diaper cream at every change. And miraculously I still am using the same tube that came out of the hospital. XD

<font color="#6600ff">Bernice</font>

All along I thought Avent has the biggest sized bottles... Pigeons are bigger?

I'm using Lucky baby warmer... Even the Via Cups from Avent fit into them... I'm not sure on the size of the Pigeon bottle.. But I have a feeling it'll fit into Avent. XD

<font color="cd6889"><font size="+1">bernice</font></font>
yesh.. the warmer are made such that can fit any bottles..
happy.gif
 
thanks for all your replies. marc's still waking up at 3 hourly intervals in the night. i'm just wondering if he needs to up his feeds, because i read in The Baby Whisperer by Tracey Hoggs that if he gets enough in the day, he won't wake up in the night so frequently. He's taking 130mls 3 hourly, unless I latch (and thus have no idea how much he drinks).

Compass Point : jul, what did you say you were doing on 24th? we haven't seen you in ages. can you make it for tea do you think?
 
rach : lol, of course not lah. come come!

prinzess : i have. how do i get it to you?

weighed marc today. At 8 weeks and 5 days, he's 6.6kg wor!!!
 
Any mummies here have been to spa for massage??? I went for my massage today and was told that they can't do for me since I breastfeeding. I can only do the Swedish massage as that doesn't involve essential oils. The consultant told me that the essential oil will travel into the blood stream and therefore into the milk.
Anyone doing massage already?? Hear before?
 
rach
err..ya..i use tissue to dry the 3 parts individually before assembling
but i think tissue dry better than air dry loh. and i'm not that comfortable leaving it wet since manual says otherwise. there must be a reason why manual say must be totally dry.
hrm..maybe we should email medela and ask
 
<font color="cd6889"><font size="+1">Angel</font></font>
haha.. okay... since i'm not staying there.. i leave to u all to settle on date and time.. if i can make it, i'll join..
happy.gif



<font color="cd6889"><font size="+1">Kris</font></font>
Mmmm.... i think the reason to be completely dry is so that the water will not go into the pump motor...
i do notice water droplets inside the tube at times.. i just ignore..thinking it'll just go away... the day u see me scream my motor spoil.. u'll know why... hahahaha.. i'm not comfortable with using tissue (knowing how unclean it actually is, with the small tiny fibres flying all over) to dry the parts though... hehehe....
 
paige,
the jumperoo can use when they can hold their head firm on their own. i think should be abt 3-4 mths up till abt...if i'm not wrong 11kg. so usage length, if say your baby is big size and grow very fast, then it will last only a short while like a few months only. 2 of my gf's babies are using it, apparently the review is good. but when i see them playing with it, it does not hold their attention for long... max 15mins and they get bored and will wanna come out else start to cry!

kam,
exersaucer also expensive leh. it is cheaper then jumperoo by a lot meh? if i'm not wrong almost about the same price rite?

pam,
better see a doc soon.

rach,
actually if u do frequent diaper change, there's no need to put diaper cream at every change unless your baby got diaper rash or very prone to getting rash. so it really depends. but for me, its more like bo pian, coz my baby very fussy. sometimes i feel the diapers with my fingers, they don't even feel wet to me. but after i change, she happy liao, will start to smile and coo at me. else she give me frowny face or teary eyes!
 
<font color="9264ff00"> Prinzess</font> - yah.. love the star
happy.gif

Hahaha full bottle... I hope too but its not happening any time soon... lol

High 5... when outing, we will bring the same Manduca... I was joking with the Owner's parents that once some of us buy it, more will fl

<font color="9264ff00"> itsy</font> - I think the China woman is the helper... the shop owner is a pretty long hair lady..

<font color="9264ff00"> Gina</font> - Sorry by the time u post here, I already went out already..

Went to subscribe the Magazine.. a bit disappointing cause not much offers.. more like companies trying to get sales..

But I signed 3 yrs subscription so got quite a lot of free gifts...

diaper cream

hmm.. i use avent healing bottom balm. love the smell, n i slather on rather a lot! ks mah.

i notice the area under the testicles get red, rather than the butt itself. any other mummies with bb boys have this prob?

bbq

guess i'm rather sceptical that milk can be warmed to 40deg from fridge in 5min???

my boy pees on me at every diaper change! faint

mich

one at ils', one at my place lor.

kiki

i put the bathtub on the floor n squat to bathe him. i used to stupidly bend over the bathtub on the toilet bowl n nearly broke my back for 2.5 mths! dumbo!

angel

Angel> where you stay
happy.gif

Rach> :p then i better call and reserve. thanks for e info!
 
Okie Finally put baby down liao can type..

<font color="9264ff00"> Motherhood Fair</font> - Participating Companies (dun have details cause nothing interests me, hahaha):
1) Pampers
2) The Video Baby Monitor company... oops.. can't rem what the name is but someone posted the link in SMH threads before one.. the one that has night vision one...
3) Some Post Natal Massage company
4) Some super expensive story book set company (price ranging from $1000 to $8000, insane isn't it? lol)
5) Some baby wash/lotion company.. can't remember if the brand is Bugs.. but something like that... looks expensive one lah.. lol
6) Some Hair growth company
7) Glenn Doman

These are what I can remember but there may be a couple of booths that I have missed out... but that also means that it didn't catch my eye.. hahahha

Dun have the regular milk powder or diapers discount like Expo. Disappointing..

Only good thing is that I signed for 3 years Motherhood Mag and got the following freebies:
1) Many Drypers M size samples (about 7 packs)
2) Rusk small box
3) Baby juice and fruit puree (1bottle each)
4) Nestle Rice Samples (About 5 assorted packs)
5) Choice of Mothercare milk bottles / Avent Massage Cream / something else cannot remember (I chose the Milk bottle set)
6) Choice of a car or bouncer which was all redeemed/ 2 tins of Mamil MaMa/ Potty/ something else can't remember (I chose the 2 tins of Mamil MaMa)

Heheheh sorry ah.. my ginko nut brain can only remember this much..
 
Steph> ha ya lo, more will follow. im the next.. maybe after borrowing from Angel the card and getting e 10% i can tell the owner more mummies from sept forum will come and buy so just give the rest 10% without needing to show e card! just show baby's birth cert?!?!?!?

i need the carrier as my shoulder aching from e long usage of the pupsik pouch.. :p actually not really long usage only 45 mins ha.

hmmm you gals think is it fine to just walk into the PD's clinic to just borrow e weighting machine to find whats the weight of my boy? v curious ha.
 
Hey!

Alamak! I know that silly baby video camera company! They also sell the prenatel education device (which if you take time to scrutinize their product claims is essentially flawed). Wah lau... was super put off by their sales attitude.

In any case, for those wondering about video cams, they have simpler ones at Moms and Babes AMK Hub. Am sure most stores will also carry. Those are cheaper and do pretty much the same job.
 
one mom here mentioned she is using the balboa sling? who is it ah? i wanna get the sling too but itsybitsy told me she runs out of stock. anyone else knows where to get it from? *thanks* !!
 
Jul
u using avent bottom balm? wah i used that my baby's bottom rashes lagi worst! the whole thing flare up! i think my tube only used a lil, u want i pass mine to u? im using desitin now. the minute i put it on, the next hour his horrible nappy rash cleared immediately
 
<font color="9264ff00"> Prinzess</font> - Yah.. I told them already... We were even joking say maybe they can tell us what prints have how many stocks then we can broadcast here for them.. lol

Weigh baby - I think if the PD Clinic's assistance knows you then should be fine ba.. but if they never see u before will they allow? think have to see heng suay ba...

Yes!!! the book set is $1K to $8K... crazy right?

<font color="9264ff00"> Gerald</font> - U PaPa Gerald right? lol... didn't know u also got account.. that day u mentioned u don't read often I thought u use Angela's account to read nia.. hehehe

<font color="9264ff00"> MaMato6Js</font> - You still need Desitin? I have spare to sell... hahaha
I bought the tube and tub then realise I'm never going to be near finishing the tub... hahahha
 
Steph> o sorry didnt mention im thinking of trying the PD that i go to which is near my place... but not due to see her yet :p

you rest well... weather pretty cold now.
 
Yah loh.. yesterday I took a shower then baby cry for milk.. so I quickly finish shower, wipe myself dry, haven't got chance to wear clothes then carry baby over to latch... that's why catch cold.. sigh
 
prinzess : live near serangoon central. will PM you my addy if you wanna swing by for the card

Jul : no leh, marc's bum redness is around the anus, not under his testicles.

Pam : eh, get your eye checked out girl. It's been some time already and it's still not better.

bbq98> 2 enugh meh? actually i buy so many not becos use finish. is cos one tube put at one place. one at my hm, one at my parents n one for him to put at infant care.

gerald> u got bad experience with de bb video camera company? de guy who promote to me at taka fair was quite nice leh. din push me to buy anything. in fact he tell me to consider n can buy online too. he even told me it was cheaper if i buy online cos i wanted to add on additional camera. but in de end decided tat it was too costly. in de end juz bought philips one =x
