yeah i also like the medela bottles. y not u go kiddy palace n get? got 10%disc if u're a member.

i use scissors to cut. must cut shorter lah. i stopped letting sam wear mittens at 1.5mths. cannot keep wearing else they wun be able to develop their fingers, hands will perpetually be in fists lor.

cookiez

just tried to freeze 300ml in the boots milkbag. looks rather full. aiyoh i shd have put only 250ml or something. will go investigate after it's frozen n let u know if 300ml is possible.

kiki, shelled

haha i sort of had diarrhoea during the xmas season. maybe it's my body's way to detox n to maintain weight? haha

speaking of weight.. i've got 2.7kg to pre-preg weight - measured at gynae's the other day. say 200g accounted for by bm. so left 2.5kg?
 
kiki

sam used to do that, but not just when waking up but thru'out the day. think he's trying to explore the sensation of rubbing his head against things. he stopped liao, so maybe u wanna monitor a while?
 
jul
lucky u! i think i still got half more pregnancy weight to shed. *stress* still can't fit into most of my pre-pregnancy clothes. i don't think i'm ever gonna be the same size again. sob sob...
 
me gonna go out collect my gal's passport later! didn't really managed to take a very nice photo of my gal...she kept giving me the 'blur' look coz of the camera's flash.
 
kiki> ya lo. nails grow so fast. hubby have to cut them every wk. oso cannot keep up with de growth

my boy turns his head violently before he wakes up to. but if i stuff de pacifier into his mouth, he'll go back into sleep. if i din he'll make a noise n i'll wait for him to wake up. once he sees me, he'll smile. wat a cutie =p

jul> haha. i tried putting 200ml into boots bag only. wanted to see if it's flatter or lansinoh is flatter. conclusion is boots is flatter, find it better than lansinoh in fact. not sure wat's de cost though =p

haha. now i give my boy a pillow to sleep with. so before waking up, instead of turning his head left n right, sometimes he'll put both side of de pillow up n cover his ears =p very cute oso =x
 
<font face="tahoma"><font color="ff3399">jul</font>
I've dropped below my pre-preg weight liao, but I think I'd much rather be toned! Flabby tak sexy!! </font>
 
prettymums> so who look after ur bb? i going to put him in infant care in feb. abit worried. cos usually nobody play with him, he will cry non stop. at infant care dunno wat will happen to him oso. hais.
 
mwerkz
My maid is taking care of my boy now. Kind of miss him alot. Wow... u going back work in Feb? So long...

You can't expect full attention in the infant care. But he will eventually get used to it. So don't worry.
 
prettymums> nono. i back to wk in early dec. now my boy is at my parents hm. cos infant care no slot for him. cant expect my parents to look after him long term cos dey oso got their stuffs to do.

so he going to infant care only in feb. but worry he cant get use to life there. so stressed.
 
mwerkz
I can understand. Like when I first send my gal to childcare. She kept crying nonstop. Kept telling us she don't want to go school. Very stress. But dun worry... they will get used to it.
 
prettymums> ur gal at childcare n ur boy at hm with ur maid?

ya lo. i hope he becomes more independent n learns more at infant care. anyway when feb comes, he'll be ard 5mths old liaos. hope it gets better
 
JUL

i oso depress.. over

Why My boy cant sleep thru out the nite

Why my boy cant sit alone by himself for long

No time for myself...

Need to pump in office

Need to sterilize

need to ensure enough BM for my boy feeding...

Why my boy cant sleep long even for nap...

like 100% of our time is jus for Him WHY WHY WHY.......

I really cant do our own stuff....

wan to eat oso difficult, wan to have proper conversation with my hubby oso difficult...

sigh.......abit of reject to have kid..din noe its sooo difficult...

why always quarrel with my hubby due to Him...sigh
 
kiki

i gained 14kg frpm pregnancy. think already lost 7/8kg after giving birth. so it took me 4.5mths to 3.5kg. aiyoh like that will take me more than 3mths to lose the rest - assuming my way of eating doesn't make me gain.

i can be scary.. 4 slices of bread for breakfast.. lunch/dinner need extra rice.. in b/w got tea breaks.. drink 4 cups of milo a day.. scary right?
 
cookiez

seems like 300ml in boots milknag is not a prob. strange.. like din expand much. can't be right?

michelle

flower4
Don't get depressed. It's very common for couple to quarrel over kids. Sometimes my hubby and I also quarrel. He kept complaining that I spent too much time on my kids than him. But when you see them smiling at you, your heart will melt.

My boy these 2 days wakes up every half an hour. Today 1st day @ work... *zombie*

mwerkz
Ya. Gal at childcare. Boy at home.

Feeding
Today my boy first time at home with my maid. Seems like he did not drink much. The last feed I had for him was 6.30am. He only drank 12oz of EBM till 5.30pm. Is it normal?
 
prettymums> seems ok. my boy last latch with me is like 630am, subsequently while i'm at wk, he'll drink 110-120ml at 930am, 1230pm, 330pm n 630pm.

But yours seems to drink more than mine. I hope tomorrow he will drink more. Today he doesn't look happy. don't know if it's because I'm not around. He refuse to smile at me when i play with him.

EBM
i just realise one of my EBM milk bag is slightly torn. Does anyone have any idea if i can thaw the milk? heartpain to throw away.
 
working mummies
wat do u gals use to store the sterilised breastpumps n bottles to bring to office? do u was the pumps after each use or just leave the milk stains for next use? although i'm not looking forward to work, think i need to start getting ready... sigh
 
<font face="tahoma"><font color="ff3399">Michelle</font>
Aiyah, paiseh! I haven't mail out yet. Everyone took turns to fall sick, then myself also sick until now also haven't recover. I didn't have time to wrap then mail. Sorry.
sad.gif


Just today alone, Josh alrdy puke 8 times and lao sai 12 times.
sad.gif

Just changing diapers and cleaning up puke alone alrdy dizzy liao.

</font>
 
prettymums> keke. my boy is still ok considering now i leave him with my parents, he's on very good terms with them =p

when i go my parents hm to pick him, he will very happily kick n smile at me. heart melts =p

erms. dunno leh, de bag torn, how u collect the milk while it thaw? wun it leak out?

mini_cupcake> think as long as they are more den double their birthweight, it shuld be ok

milkyway> i use lock n lock containers to store de sterilised pumps to bring to wk. after every use wash n put back in same container n store in fridge, nxt round wan use juz take out use again.

shelled> wah. heng u haven mailed it out. at least its not lost somewhere =p take ur time k. anyway xmas over liaos. keke. let me know when u've sent them can liaos. thanx
happy.gif


how r u getting now? better take care n rest more k.
 
rach

can't just see weight gain, coz ur gal was born big leh. if u take sam's birth weight, he more than doubled at 8 weeks, then tripled at 4 mths. as long as ur pd says ok right?

michelle

aiyah i think playtex liners size better. at least can store at 1 pumping. no enough to store at 2 pumps *sian*

mini cupcake

seems ok to me, but maybe u just ask the pd when u bring ur bb for jab?
 
shelled

wah.. stomach flu ah? sounds bad. is k also sick? better take care. noawadays i'm terrified of falling sick, coz i'm main caregiver leh. hubs calls me MCG hiaz..
 
jul> lol. cos i pump in office. go hm den store all de excess milk. so store 1pump or 2pump one oso no diff. anyway i store 200ml nia la. 300ml too big pack. very waste freezer space. so i rather waste de milkbags den de freezer space. =x
 
milkyway>
u need to wash aft each pump.u can get those sterilizing pills and get a container to soak ur pump after u wash. leave the pump in the container till ur next use.
 
jul - wah u very gungho leh, use 300ml to try the milkbag. i had wanted to use tap water to try but since u try liao i dun need to! :p but 300ml a lot wor... i wun hv so much spare leh. then when hubs go back to work next wk i will pump less. think i dread him gg back to work more than him!!

michelle - boots better? but this one no double zip hor?

messy milkybag - seems like when i store, will always spill some milk on the ziplock area. should i clean up? n always cant seem to get rid of all air bubbles...

kris - thx for the recommendation for healthyway! brought jacob for jabs ytd. really much cheaper. but the gp at my area seem/look/sound very young...

kris/sandwich/kam - we shall hv lunch tgt after the hols okie?

shelled - aiyo so jialat? better take care and stop the cycle!!
 
~michelle~
wat size of lock and lock container u buy? are u using freestyle? need to buy lock &amp; lock container to store my pump when go back to work.
Did u use any sterilizing tablets?

~Shanice~
what brand of sterilizing tablets u use?

~kiki~
where u bringing your gal to? Have fun!!

~bb sleeping thru the nite~
my boy sleep thru the nite mostly, once in a while may wake up middle of the nite, but he sleep v late like 11pm plus and wake up ard 7am plus. We can't get any rest or do our own things until he sleeps!
 
shelled:
take care... poor Josh, hope he get well soon

milyway:
i used to rinse the pump parts with hot water, then keep everything in zip lock bag until the next use

Mummies giving BM to elder kids:
do your kids' bowel movement change? my girl's poo poo changes from "banana" to "mud" after drinking BM, is it normal??
 
Cookiezz,
Sure, why not? Anytime for me :)


RE: BFing
My supply is dropping and dropping. Cos I am a little bit depressed on BFing these few days. My girl has converted me as her "human pacifier". She refuses her pacifier and only wants to (active and comfort) suck on my breast to sleep. Wanted to wean her off my breast so I don't have to become a human pacifier. But with our parenting style/philosophy, "crying-it-out" method doesn't work for us, cos we can't hear baby cry. So for now, I am still the human pacifier. Probably would have to change my mindset if I can't do the CIO to wean her off my breast. Not having a positive thinking definitely affects my supply than anything else. Sigh......
 
<font size="+1"><font color="ff0000">ZHOU KITCHEN TODAY</font></font>
wondering anyone keen to meet up today?? Before the vouchers expire...
happy.gif
 
<font face="tahoma">
Thanks everyone! Josh is all better today. Just whiny from lack of sleep cos he keep waking up due to puke or lao sai.
Hubs' office all on "free" leave from today until Monday, so he is taking over everything in the house for me to rest and recover.
Hopefully by the time 2010 starts, all the viruses will be gone.
Heng K has not been affected by any of this. Only had a bit of drippy nose for about 1 day last week.


<font color="ff3399">Jul</font>
I think we are all terrified of being sick, regardless MCG or not. Pumping when having bodyache is not funny!! I was almost tempted to not pump at all when I was having it. Sibei tong ku, feels like nipples getting ripped off.


<font color="ff3399">Waiwai</font>
Josh's poo also turn more soft and squishy since starting on BM. Like you described, like mud lor. So i think should be normal bah.


<font color="Ff3399">cookiezz</font>
Ya lah, sibei jialat. This is called "extended family sickness" sia. 1 by 1 take turns, then come back and start with Josh again.
I'll try to pop by your place soon with your stuff hor! I still owe you $3.24. :p

</font>
 
Jul> haven been to PD since 2nd dec for 1st jab.. N that time not usual PD so never do developmental check also..
Next jab shld be after CNY if I follow Dr Belinda's timing..
But Rayanne does seem taller these days...

Pumping>
I've officially washed n kept my freestyle n parts.. Haven been pumping for 3 weeks n very lazy to pump n wash..
It has been inside my sterilizer getting sterilized every now n then when I steam the pacifier.. So decided to keep it till I officially go back work.. The motor is collecting dust on my table too.. Lol!!
 
shelled - aiyo dun be crazy lar!! dun need to pop by my place! think i can go over these few days bah, since hubs on leave. but jacobby's running a low grade fever now so prob tmr or sat? let u know
happy.gif
 
<font face="Tahoma"><font color="Ff3399">cookiezz</font>
We need to take car anyway. So if we do I was thinking pop by your place lo. Your hubs also on leave arh, so shiok! We can have family outing if not for the fact that everyone seems to be down with something.
sad.gif


Hope Jacob's fever passes soon.
</font>
 
hey Michelle, u oso worried abt putting ur baby in infant care? my baby oso starting infant care next mon...kinda worried for him too...cos he wans to be carried all the time and his feeding habits are still veri erratic. dunno if the teachers thr knw wen he is hungry wen he is not hungry...haiz...but bo bian, cldnt find a realiable nanny to look aft him...

let's keep our fingers crossed!
 
shelled - haha okie so we see who can go over lor. i am thinking of maybe tonight. jabob's fever seems better now liao. haha he likes the fever medicine more than rotavirus!! still making ling yang for him also. just now measured 37.8 deg! kaoz scared me! but i think my thermometer a bit sot sot...
 
<font face="tahoma"><font color="ff3399">cookiezz</font>
37.8 is very very acceptable by my standards, cos josh commonly hits over 38.5!

So are you coming over? If you are then I'll scrap my plans to go out for dinner. Intending to go ION. Unless you wanna meet me there.
