aiyoh... if ur baby not enough. mine worse.. 5.9kg only leh.. 60.5cm &amp; she's 12 weeks 2 days old..
y my baby getting slimmer?? :S
 
I also have loopsided breasts. Right side yield less than left by about 20 - 30ml. been like that since day 1

Wanna check with the mummies here if anyone experience pump becoming less and less effective in clearing the breast. Last time after pump at most i can only hand express out 5 - 10ml, but now, the breast still feels abit hard, and i can easily express out 30ml. Can be more if not for the fact my hand tired and i gave up
Why like that har??

My gal has some minor urine reflux to her kidney, and scarring at the kidney as well, but doc says not the serious type. have to monitor and go for yearly scanning. must watch very carefully for fever coz if she kanna uti again, she will have to be on antibiotics for 3 years!!!! *faintz* and during this time, if she kanna a 3rd time, then possible will have to operate
*cross fingers no more uti sia*
 
hi mummies! this is my first time posting.

got a query, hopefully someone can advise.

i need to be away from my baby for about 5 days in jan next year. thinking of pumping and freezing bm in advance so that my baby can have my fbm while i'm away.
are milk storage bags good? how do you thaw fbm and once thawed, how long can they last? i'm worried about milk wastage.

thks!

Milk storage bags are good but not for me because I'm an environmental freak. You could try out the milk trays some mommies here are using. Some thaw FBM by taking out the FBM and transferring down to the fridge the night before. Some sit the milk in water and in the fridge. Trial and error for each individual. FBM once out of the freezer lasts 24hrs in the fridge.

Hope you've got your answers. =)

jenifur

i only fill up to 120ml leh.

oh what's that container thing u use to separate the milkbags? looks useful. anywhere i can get?

right now i only put the bag on top of my lock n lock box, then after frozen, i'll transfer into the box with the frozen ones.
 
<font color="0000ff">Kam, prettymums</font> Ooopss, sorry! my mistake, I thought I saw someone posting about meeting at CCK...maybe it was JP :p

<font color="0000ff">Jul</font> yeah, it is dangerous...so I place her conforter over the lowered end of the cot, but nowadays she no longer do the 90deg stunt.

<font color="0000ff">milk storage</font> I have decided to be more environmetally friendly, so hence I think I should go and guy more storage bottles and reuse them instead of milkbags since someone mentioned that I can use and reuse bottle until they go kaput!
 
Just got back fm nearby clinic. Took my #2 for her pneumococcal jab besides seeing the GP for my cough and rhinitis.

Rach,
Think it depends on individual baby, some can latch immediately after a jab while others can't. My #1 got to latch first before jab.

Jul,
No problem for the link.

Mama to 6Js,
Yes.. difficult to train 2 at a time. My previous one has taken quite good care of my kids so far and maintained the house in rather spick and span condition. 2 Filipinas this time. Gave them a timetable and told them to take turns to complete the chores. Hope my kids can adjust to them by Jan before I start work. Anyway, tried to supervise too much till I'm sick now.

Maybe, I should just let them try slowly on their own...
 
Jenifur
How do u seal up the playtex milk liners &amp; can make them lie flat. Teach me leh. I use rubberbands to tie them &amp; they can't lie flat as it will leak if I do so. I can only fill them up to 150ml &amp; they are so fat liao.
 
Paige

hee.. i thk the JP person is either me or Girly..

where do u stay? CCK side? We can organise a West side gathering soon? =) They had a SK gathering le.. wanted to go but too far leh. Dun thk i'll be going for the ION one as well.

Whyyyy?!?! I super love Super Shields lor! What has yours done to incur your great dislike wor.


<font color="ff3399">Rach</font>
You mean you didn't read the forum huh?? Jenifur already offered to do Ah Goo Plush Pad, then after that you said you try and see can get better price or not. Well, if you got time to check prices here and there when someone else alrdy doing it, and conduct the <strike>Bulk Purchase</strike> good deals to share, then of course we will save our time and let you do lor.


<font color="ff3399">Re: Sophie</font>
Person-in-charge has got back to me already. Can definitely sell to you guys at price much lower than SRP. She only has one condition that my lower price will not affect her other retailers' business. MOQ: 24pcs. Price to confirm tmr cos just now we spoke on phone, so have to wait for her to forward pricelist to me tonight.

nice meeting up at Zhou's kitchen. the waitresses must be thinking these hungry mummies again hahaha.

yest missed my afternoon nap and Josh still wakes up twice in e middle of the nite for milk and i always have to leave him on e rocker for 40mins before letting him lay flat to sleep, so was quite tired till i have my power nap just now... i think when im back to work i will yawn big time in the afternoon.

angel, Michelle> sometime he sleeps in his rocker in the afternoon... actually can sleep much longer than in his cot. ha also dont understand why he prefers his rocker bec when i carry him, his back is always very warm and sweaty.
i will leave him on the rocker and on the swing mode if he doesnt want to be carry and pat to sleep. i will off the music and swing mode after he fall asleep bec dont want him to depend too much on e swing mode. http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2002&amp;e=demo&amp;pid=38840 take note the prod code as batches with k were recalled in yr 07. i prefer this rocker as its swing type, some are vibration type.

pam>you have the calendula cream? i used that before on his scratch and heal v fast. still let him wears mittens when he is sleeping cos he has a habit of rubbing his eyes when he sleeps... scare he pokes his own eyes :p

paiseh la :p i was the one who asked Rach to check if theres any lobang for ahgoo pad ...and then when jenifur said she got 1 im the one who asked jenifur where she got hers when she mentioned that she got it at quite a good price. agreed with Steph its to benefit mummies here and the coordination part actually v taxing wan le... i definitely not keen to take up such role.
 
Jenifur,
Are the playtex milk liners better than Lansinoh? But, why it looks so full with 180ml of milk?? I'm storing 300ml to 360ml in each Lansinoh and it doesn't look as full when I lie the bags flat neatly in the freezer... If freezer isn't running out of space, guess I'll be using lots of bottles.

shelled,
Don't be so upset. Rach is only being helpful from what I see. My first time buying something from a mummy (referring to you) in SMH leh... Don't want to end up getting nothing.
happy.gif
I'm usually too lazy or impatient. If I happen to shop around and see, I'll just buy without thinking much. Just like the milkbags.
Thought it'll be good to get Sophie for my bb and since you are staying near my parents, I'm hoping to get from you when I go over to visit my parents once the orders are consolidated and placed... So, please don't break my 'hope' bubble.
 
prinzess55

hey where did u get the FP Rocker frm? It looks relli useful.. i got the vibration one.. if i knew abt tis one earlier i wud've gotten tis one instead.. =(
 
jenifur
oh...i didn't read abt that news regarding giving water. but usually i give abt 10ml only. she does not like it! can see her face all scrunched up when she realise its not milk. lol.

melissa
yep, for my gal also a few gulps only. max abt 10ml or so. but i don't give everyday also. maybe just twice in a wk. especially when she has hiccups.

jul
i dunno why sam's poo went up to 3/4x. but seems like i'm having some problem with my gals poo. ytd she did not poo and today yet to poo.

pam
oh no.. poor thing. do u cut her nails? my hb cuts bb's nails but still long, unable to cut very short. the last time he tried to cut shorter, he accidently clipped her flesh and she bled a bit. needless to say, cried like mad. :/ now daytime i let her be without mittens, u should see the scratches on her face! but usually after a few hrs or very most the next day it will disappear. then she scratch her face with new scratches again! *faint*

Taime &amp; Infantino Sale
when is this until ah? anything good or not? maybe tomorrow i go down n see coz hb is on leave!

itsy
could it be the flow of the teat that he's not happy abt? which size u're using? maybe time to change to faster flow.

pacifers
mummies, how often shd we change pacifiers ah? or can suck forever one? pls advise blur mummy here.

paige
i took my gal's temp every half hr after then jab. i'm a kiasi mummy... :p

rach &amp; shelled

pam

sheryn> got it at mothercare.. bought it ard 3weeks plus ago. dont know still have discount anot... bec it was cheaper at mothercare than at kiddypalace.
 
<font color="0000ff">sheryn</font> ermm, am not really a proper western westerner lah, staying at hillview...that's why wondering whether CCK ppl meeting up :p Where are you girls planning to meet up? When?
 
RE: West Side Gathering
Hey, I'm staying in Bt Panjang... Considered West side? I can try to meet once I'm well. Quite tired staying at home most of the time taking care of my 4 kids and supervising the 2 new maids. Still have a few more errands to complete this December before I start work. Hope to find some time to relax too but got to be somewhere near since I usually can only take 1 or 2 kids out each time.
happy.gif

Don't feel secure leaving the 2 new maids alone with my kids for too long as yet.
 
my talkative bb
my gal recently loves to talk a lot. and its giving me a headache n problem with feeding. everytime i feed her, she wants to talk! feed halfway, she decides she doesn't want to suckle anymore and instead goes gooo-ahh-waa... feeding jusst 1 bottle of 120ml now takes like forever n must have breaks inbetween for talking. anyones bb also like that?! i keep telling her...finish milk milk 1st ok...then we can talk all u want. but of coz she can't understand me. lol.
 
<font face="tahoma"><font color="ff3399">flower4</font>
Don't worry, I also steam sterilise before. You can ask Jul. I also scream when it come out milky color and not see-thru anymore.
After a while the blurriness will clear up and go back to the see-thru way it was before.

kiki,
Mine also likes to smile or go "er er" and let the milk leak out in between drinking. So, I told my maid to burp her and not talk to her while she's drinking. She doesn't even want to drink from bottle when I carry her and prefers me to latch her. Sometimes also like that when I latch her... can suddenly stop halfway and smile or gurgle at me. Sigh.
 
my girl nowadays dun like her pacifier that much, always pui it out and suck her fist instead.. any mummies experiencing this also??
why ah??
 
prinzess,
haha..my gal also does that! and she seems to like the red frog better.. notice she's always smiling and cooing at the frog!

sonningt3 &amp; mamto6js,
tiring hor? sometimes i feel quite upset...coz arms and shoulders aching already, she is growing fast and heavy! then she still look up at me and smile n go errrr-ehh-oooo...
 
rach,
my gal also prefers her fist to pacifier anyday. but bad mummy here always push her hand away n stuff the pacifier in :p
 
<font color="dc143c">mama6</font>
huh... more yummy ah.. then just let her be ah???
suck till wet... lips outside wet... clothes wet... faint...

<font color="dc143c">kiki</font>
hahahhaa..same!!! i see i tell her.. "no no.. no hands..."then i take out hand stuff the pacifier in.. hahha.. :p
