That time I mentioned I know the person in charge of the SG branch for Sophie, if want I can ask her for bulk discount. I dunno how much, or whether she willing to give not, but I can try lo.
That time I ask nobody responded except Gina, so I didn't take any action.

So once again...
Who's keen on buying Sophie The Giraffe?

gah! dunno y sam decided to wake up at 4am for milk tdy. hubs warmed ebm n fed him, but he looked so tired so i told him to go back to bed. changed sam after he finished pooping n left him kicking ard on the cot. hope he doesn't fuss while i'm still pumping.
 
jen

guess maybe she wants to give water n just used the nurses' words as 'proof' lor? anyway not my business also lah.

no chance to go out tdy. sam was fussing like nobody's business! kept crying, n when he did manage to fall asleep, he'll wake crying after 5min. now that i think abt it, since he woke up hungry at 4am.. wonder if he's gog thru a growth spurt? he'll be 16 weeks on fri

<font color="#6600ff">She scratched her face and it bled</font>

She has been sleeping without her mittens for more than a week. But last night she scratched her face and her cries sounded like she was in extreme pain. It was beside her eye and when her tear touched it, she cried even louder... Same thing when I cleaned her wound and applied cream on it... I had to coax her for half an hour... My heart was bleeding looking at her sniffle and catch her breath whilst suckling on my almost empty after pumping boob. I think she was too exhausted from the crying she skipped her 1-2am feed.

jenifur> omg. luckily i asked. ok so far he only drink at most 20ml a day.

magical nite> hoho. i try not giving him milk last nite after de 1215am dreamfeed. juz fed him at 640am, cos i say yaeh, he tahan thru till 6hrs liaos. anyway when i go wk, i oso need to wake up by this time liaos. so i feed him. but will slowly put back the timing everyday =p he managed to keep quiet after i stuff de pacifier into his mouth. =p

he woke up at 445am, n 55am i think. too tired to keep track of de time. =p both times i stuff pacifier, n n go back sleep liao. will try for a few more nites =p

jul> is de rocker really good? my boy now day times need to be carried to sleep. wondering if i shuld get a rocker n let him sleep in de day instead -_-

shelled> wow. haa. sometimes i oso feel bb know wat we tokin abt. cos same as when i told him 10pm u go cot sleep urself. he look at me with de sad look, n shake his head. but afternoon he was fussing n i told him tonite we go buy cane to beat ur backside. he actually smiled -_-"

if de price is good i dun mind getting de sophie too. but cannot wait too long. i dunno if my boy will be teething soon =p
 
gosh my baby so fussy last nite! no fever but kept waking up dunno for wat. my gal sleeps with me so i cant afford to hv him crying so just stuff the boob into his mouth. i can tell he is nt v hungry from the way he sucked but he refused to unlatch until some 15-20 mins later. aiyo dunno if its becos of jab that he so fussy. i only slept like 1hr-2hr-1hr n i gotta wake up already b4 he wakes my gal up
 
drinking water
my mil keeps telling me to give my baby water too!!! she says if dont give now, bb wont want to drink water next time. and she says if it's not feeding time, should just give water and not milk. But i told her i'm BF so i should feed on demand given that BM is diluted and she might be hungry b4 the next feeding time of 3 hrs interval. And my stoopid hubby also listen to her theory of giving water b4 next feeding time. cos he has seen how she has put that into practical when she babysit children many yrs back. He says it minimised their fussiness and cryings. I told him i rather do it my way!! Anyway shown him a report b4 on water intoxification too but i cant find the link now. So now he diam diam, but my mil will stil nag every wkend i see her on giving water.. haha... but not for long lah, after 6months, we can give some water rite? How much? Heng, my gal wont be under my mil's care when i go back to work.. hehe
 
Jenifur,
I read the report about not to give water to baby <6 months old. Other than the affecting the sodium level, another reason is that young baby has very small stomach, so if he is being fed with too much water, he then can't take as much milk, may lead to lack of nutrients.

But, to me, I think the key take home message is don't give TOO MUCH water to young baby. A little bit of water will be fine. My nanny insisted to give at most 10ml of water to my girl everyday, so that my girl get to like drinking water. She is very strong in this cos her boy (partially BF) didn't drink water before 6 months, and after that refused water in toddler age, making him having serious constipation problem till 12 years of age! I am quite relax in this, as I don't think 10ml of water will do any harm to baby. So I followed her suggestion. My boy (fed on FM though) drank water since he was 1 week old, and he is truly a water lover now. Though, honestly, I think TBF baby doesn't really need water.
 
ling, pamelia
do take care of urselves k, try to rest when bb is slping lor...

i was feeling a little feverish last fri too, then i told panadol and slp wen my gal was slping, then woke up feeling much better. think the weather is not helping much... so mummies, pls take care and rest if possible!
 
Kam,

not very true wor...
my sis #1 when bb time oso drink water cos he is on FM... but he dun like water when he is in toddler age keke.
and my #1 never had water till like 6months old (only given little water when i feed her medicine) but now she likes plain water.. can even say nice to drink. faintz
think its up to individual child... some children just simply hates plain water keke just like we adults.

i've been sponging her from the jab...with a wet washcloth many times ...just in case..

crystalz,
Of course it's not guarentee that if feed baby water earlier, they would grow up to be liking water. There are a lot of other contributing factors for sure. Like many other things, it's up to each individual to decide whether or not to give water <6 months.


My girl increased 1 more feed before bedtime. Aiyoh, not enough EBM for her. So from today onwards, have to pump 4x at work to meet her demand. All blame to my lopsided breast....... how I wish BOTH boobs produce the same amount :-( Now that siao boob only can pump out like 20-30ml per session, sigh!
 
hahaha i cant post the pix of the changing mat so milkyway and princess if u want can pm me? i will email u. btw only got the pigeon one cos the other one with my mum. this one is preloved i think. someone gave it to me but it looks new lar. very big also... its fabric material
 
There we go! good morning ladies.
I've take Jul's route... giving marc EBM mostly because he won't finish a meal on the breast. Sigh. Screams like I'm trying to poison him after 3-5 mins. Tried to nurse lying or leaning back because my LC suggested it, but it doesn't work lei. woke up this morning at 5:30am, latched him with a full breast. He stopped on his own, played a bit with my Mum, then decided at 6:30am that he was hungry again. by which time, I had started pumping, so I just gave up and gave him the 100mls. sigh. Any suggestions?

uh, i forgot, who wanted the paracetamol dose? 3ml of the 120mg/5ml solution is about right for a 7.6kg baby.

who wants Sophie?

aiyo ur gal so good la! sleep so long. mine woke up like 3-4x last nite aiyo now i so zombified so much things to do and no mood/energy to do! and my hse like market. #3 playing piano, twins chattering like a bird and my gal as usual whining abt the smallest lil thing. and my baby? blabbering in his rocker. oh gawd my ears gonna burst!

i cant rem when is my next jab. later i go check my appt card ok. dr belinda is v motherly la she doesnt wanna jab too close an interval. if she say ok then i also ok lor. yest spent so long time in her room chatting abt our kids schools haha...

Kam
wah ur lopsided boobs really serious hor. mine is abt 30-40ml leesser than my right so at least not too bad la. looks like maybe ur gal on growth spurt?
 
anyway, thanks gals for ur inputs on the paracetemol dosage. so far no need give him yet. but he so grumpy today i gave in to latch him more instead. usually he is on ebm in the daytime so i can run my errands.
 
mama_to_6Js,
Ya lor, my lopisided boobs are really serious lor. Even my gal refused (started this week) to latch on the siao boob, so made it worse :-( She could be on growth spurt, but day time still drinking the same amount, I only have 3x180ml of EBM in my freezer......
 
my girl just discovered that she can scream, happy also scream not happy also scream ... wah lao~

mivhelle

aiyoh i praised the rocker for so long liao then u nvr notice??? haha

it's gd lor. throw him down after feeding to rest, esp when he doesn't burp, to reduce merlion-ing. can also put him there a while to entertain himself so i can go toilet, grab a drink.. n sometimes he'll nap there

milkyway

my pd said no need to give water now, but can start when we give solids. but i din ask how much lah.
 
kam

yeah, i also let mil feed sam a spoon of water here n there. pd also said not needed, but no harm, as long as not too much.
 
<font color="dc143c">angel</font>
my girl was given 1.5ml.... i read the bottle it says 250mg/5ml
so i think she's taking 75mg??
now she's 38.1-38.2. i was sponging her...but felt safer to give paracetamol..since i gave her once last nite.. in fact, she felt warmer last nite than she is now..
i wonder what temp she was having last nite! *gasp*

haha dr B is on leave from 11 to 21dec. u see her next yr la!
 
rach

huess ur gal is fast. i aws say sam is too fat to move / flip haha

angel

is this a phase marc's gog thru? but feeding ebm has pros n cons lah. u control the amt, know exactly how much they're drinking, n it's easier to establish feeding routine. i rem the lc telling me that as bbs grow, shd switch from demand feeding to parent-directed feeding. but it's personal choice lah.

cons being aws need to pump n store - all the washing n sterilising can kill! n need to worry abt storage when gog out, can't go out too long else boobs might explode, etc

kam

my boobs also lopsided. leftie only produces 1/3 amt of rightie's
 


Lunch at VivoCity Marche 130pm
