jess

no leh, some lucky devils have it made. skin super nice altho just wash with soap! @#%^&&^$%

my mil opposite. pro-bm b/c she has a major distrust of fm. keep mentioning abt the china milk powder scare, how the milk inside is not 'real milk' like last time.. tdy she told me that she even advised sil not to give her daughters too much fm coz dunno what 'chemicals' they put inside. guess mils r weird haha? but gd thing is she doesn't stop me from bf lor.

ironically my mum tells me not to gice sam bm anymore coz she see me pump like so tiring, then the pump so strong.. nipples pain, boobs pain, hands wash pumpset until all kena cuts n blisters from eczema.

 

[jul_04]

i think sam likes his sophie

MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS MUMMIES!!!!

 

[tlisa]

Merry Christmas to All Mummies. May all our BM supply remain sufficient for our babies!

PIL
Actually even my mum keep telling me that BM is very watery, need to supplement with FM. She wanted me to feed my daughter with FM at night so that she can sleep longer and I will be able to rest better. I just say ok but I have never done it.

I can say I am lucky that I am not staying with my PIL and they did not interfer much with me BFing and just pop over to visit occassionaly. They just asked how long I intend to BF. The only funny comment that my FIL made was that I should not eat foods which are too sweet since I am bfing. To him bb should not eat foods which are too sweet. Hahaha I told my husband about it and he just laughed.

melissa and Jul : wow you guys have baptised your babies. I haven't yet! still have not picked a date!oops! my parents have been nagging me to hurry up to send her for baptism.

[jul_04]

bernice

no leh, i din get a choice. everybody hold bb over white bowl n pour water from pitcher hee

 

[cookiezz]

milkyway - i can order anytime as long as we hit usd149 lor. cos my boy likes the teat n i cant find in sg... see if we can get more orders by next wk k? if u want the soffit, tt one standard size wor, unless u want the normal breast shield then i think its according to nipple size?

[rayrachel]

<font color="dc143c">Jul</font>
i think at least 300ml..

i've 4 boxes to let go...coz i dun pump anymore..
and i've another half box left...

u want??

 

[infinity_star]

~Jess~
my “evil thot” why mil like to feed FM so much is so that they can bond with baby.
If we keep latching on…. they can’t really bond with baby unless they play with them. And feed EBM, MILs will most prob say things like “ren nai” bb drink not full.
Usually MIL will treat their own daughters better I guess…

~Rach~
luckily you called me as I didn’t have time to read forum since yday till now.
I bought the stroller at $42.92.. after less 20% and less $5 voucher (for robinson cardmembers).
Yes.. be glad that your MIL dun stay with you. **envious**
Recently I bought quite a lot of black colour clothes as make me look slimmer... she oso got comments why I buy so many black colour clothes!

~Jul~
yup, only saw 1 stroller fan from the brand lucky baby. I oso didn’t see, my hubby saw it.

I bought tiny love, the blue one, $59.90. The blue one got more things than the pink one.. somemore my bb saw the blue one b4 and seemed to like it, so get the blue one.

Lucas is baptized at St Peter &amp; Paul. At the parents &amp; godparents’ briefing, Father asked if we want immerse or pour water… he said immerse is always the first choice and if bb cry is a good thing, shows it’s a sign of life.

Yday’s baptism went fine... Lucas was super sleepy &amp; cranky just b4 immerse in water and cranky… he managed to sleep like 5 mins b4 Father put him in water. He cried like once or twice and the 3rd time he looked blur when out of water... hahaha

~prinzess55~
my mum told me to wear push up/ underwire bras after I stopped BFing, if not boobs will sag…

~cookiez/ Jul~
I dun find the soft shields filmsy leh.. so far like it a lot.
want to order the soft shields… the end of the soft shield funnels turned abit yellow..

 

[jul_04]

rach

u got pm

melissa

hiyah looks like gotta make a trip to kiddy palace to find the stroller fan liao

hmm. i also bot tiny love, altho pink one. i tot $49.90 b/f disc? i saw wrongly? hubs say blue one very dull. colours not bright enough so we got the [ink one.

sam's baptisim was at risen christ.

the softshields rip n go out of shape easily. but they are v comfy, i agree.

 

[cookiezz]

rach - huh??? can put 300ml meh? then freeze it ah? i always put 6oz leh. 300ml wun burst it ah?

 

[mwerkz]

so quiet these few days...

 

[kris13]

cookiezz
More than 300ml also can...i ever tried 320ml before. It won't burst as long as there's some space left to expand. a little space is enough liao

 

[jul_04]

babymallonline

[chellechelle]

<font face="segoe print"><font color="#FF6666">Lansinoh Milk Bags</font>

Mine are all stored at least 360ml in a pack. so far so gd. But please please dun drop ur frozen packs. Cos they'll spilt somehow.. I ever had 2 packs falling off from the freezer while i shifted the earlier ones out. They'll still look fine but once u defrost them... hurhur~ U'll know what I mean liao lo.. I had to throw them away cos contaminated liao...

</font>

 

[mwerkz]

ling> oh no. i dropped alot liaos. sian. wonder wat will happen when i defrost them next time. zzz.

 

[eboey]

Hi Michelle, are you the one that I ordered Fenugreek from?

 

[milkyway18]

<font color="ff6000">morning</font>

jul

[mwerkz]

eunice> nope, should be steph. i oso looking to order more fenugreek

[jul_04]

lasinoh milkbags

thanks for the feedback mummies

wow, seems like altho it's stated for 180ml, can go up to double hor? still wondering whether to get. coz not cheap right? ard $18?

 

[chellechelle]

<font face="segoe print"><font color="#FF6666">michelle...</font>

Mine split cos I fill the bags to the brim de. Its like no need to squeeze out air from the bags kind. So my frozen packs cannot afford to fall off the freezer. Impact quite big. Hence, will split lo.

Urs u only store 200ml right? May not be that jialat ba...</font>

 

[flower4]

Jul,
Lanisnoh so far the cheapest. and its can really store upto 360.which have ziploc..

the most is per bag 0.40cents... now i pump in office one only, so i only use one milkbag per day so not so siong.. or else very costly.

am looking at big bottle storage now.. any lobang mummies?

Ling,
have u think of using Bottle Storage ? i got few pigeon bottle that can store upto 300++ML but , its big wide neck one.. so headache to find cover.. do you know where to find pigoen wide neck adapter , so tat the opening can be come the same size as normal bottle?

so currently i only use those hospital glass bottle, each session i need to use 3 bottles.. i got to thaw 2 bottles for one feeding.sigh....


my bb is drinking 180/feed now and its 2.5-3hrly..faintzzz. still dun sleep thru the nite...sigh...

so in24hr he drink around 1.3Litres....

 

[phengpheng]

<font color="0077aa">jul</font>
i got the milk bag from jen at $17.99 exclude postage...

but i still havnt recve my milkbag n fenugreek... i hope it not lost in the mails.... argh.... (T_T)


<font color="0077aa">jenifur</font>
i take things a bit easy lo.. thanks for the advice...
hope my package nt lost! =(

 

[phengpheng]

<font color="0077aa">melissa</font>
i think so too la... but they wan the grandchildren to drink full full n full... till fat fat plump plump...
i dunno if my SIL will want to BF.. if so, then i wait and see how my MIL treats her own daughter whether to "drill in" FM is very good into her mind or nt... i sound so bad... oops... lol


<font color="0077aa">tlisa</font>
ur mom is very concerned abt u as well as her grandkid.. =)

ever since "my MIL ill-treated me during confinement" my mom become more concern abt me as well as bb too.. which usually all pple will be overly concern on the bb rather than the mom of the bb...
our relationship improves as well... thank God..

 

[chase]

Hi Mummies,

Same feeling as some of u gals. My MIL also encourage me to give formula. When i 12 latch she will say not enough for him to eat is it? cos he will cry sometimes. So now mostly i pump, MIL will warm my ebm n feed my son. So seems like most of the time is my MIL playing n feeding my son.

So scared that my son will not bw close to me in future.

 

[rayrachel]

<font color="ff0000">Jul</font>
the blue one u saw is different frm the blue one Melissa is talking about..
I saw the blue one at bugis BHG n also the steph's one..
Then I posted n asked if Robinson still got sale..
But I can't seem to get Raffles city Robinson number cuz it's a wrong number posted on their website!!! It's a house number when I called !! Man!! I click the number frm website de, so cannot be I type or see wrongly..

So I just went to Raffles City Robinson by faith.. N it was still on!! so happy!!

There, I only saw the pink version of the one u bought.. Which is the $49.90 de... Only 1 set left.. I thought dun have the steph's one.. So sad.. Cuz the pink one was placed in front.. I took it out n Lo n behold, steph's one was there!!!
Hehehe... So happy n without 2nd thought just quickly bought the last piece..

the one u have come with music.. The one we bought no music de.. But got a sunny mirror n got something tt can be pulled n the blades will move de.. The arch is also blue in color...

 

[mwerkz]

jul> hehe. i find them not bad. oso got this blue egg n my first years ones from hubby's colleague. oso quite good. dunno how much dey cost though

ling> ya. mine only 200ml+, hope wun split wor. my impact oso quite big. but if drop le will split, den siao liaos. at least 2l of milk wasted

flower4> i mentioned before i use pigeon storage bottles in office? i pump 3times in office. so i bring 3bottles to office. one bottle can store abt 180ml of milk, although de container says 150ml. cost 15bucks+ for 3bottles. but 20% when robinsons have sale

de pigeon bottle i use is not wide neck. is de same cap as de glass bottles we get from hospital.

ur boy drink alot hor? ur supply oso power. dun think i can pump 1.3l a day. i feed him 4X110-120ml in de day, latch once in morning, latch once at night, another dreamfeed of 150ml at nite
