(2009/10) October 2009 MTBs

gal: i dun trust GPs.. so i'll go pd.. haha.. i have something against doctors.. :p

roxie: titus is manly eh.. bring him to the little gym next time.. then he can become macho macho and not sumo sumo.. hehe...

i think i'm getting a little possessive.. dun feel safe to leave baby with anybody... except maybe the CL.. cos she knows baby's "pattern".. i shall try to take it easy while having her with me before i go back to work..
 


yes loke, fully understand how u feel.. had the same feeling when i was hunting for a suitable nanny for titus after i return to work.. am trying to take it easy too.. meanwhile treasure the last two mths i have with him before i head back to work... its really not easy to rest our minds leaving our precious in the hands of others.. when we are their best caretaker..
 
Loke: it's the maternal instincts kicking in. I sometimes feel this way too so can understand what you're feeling. :p We spend so much time with our babies now so naturally very attached to them.

Roxie: hope Titus gets well soon!

hello all, haven't been logging on for a long time.
count me in for xmas party if on 20 dec.

i simply can't have extra ebm. going on a 4 day course that is whole day whole night. don't know how to pump and bring milk back.

tien, famela, any of you taking NPL or 3/4 or 1/2 workload? I want to take NPL but my P trying to convince me to take 1/2 workload coz of massive shortage of staff. I have problems finding help to look after my son. might have to hire maid.
 
i have always been possessive over my babies. especially when they're still this young. that's why i took NPL when i had #1. only went back when he was almost 7 months. when they're bigger, then i let go a lot more

glass, and to answer your qn, yes i'm taking NPL. already told them but haven't signed the documents yet. they better not try anything farnie like trying to dissuade me now. i'm going down for the paperwork next week. my P is not for taking part-time workload lar. and i'd rather be on NPL.
 
actually i want to bring baby to work leh... but i think my fil and mil will be unhappy.. and dunno if i can be effective with baby around or not.. i'll see how it goes.....
 
py / ong: ameda pump

sometimes i really wonder how u gals hold the pumps at same time.. the bellow seems cant contract properly when i am do dual pump. does it affect our supply?

i have becoming more and more lazy.. nowadays only steriise 2 times per day. and the only part i keep dry is the bellows. the rest all still have water inside but i bo chap..hee.. the parts and btle can nvr be dry de..

ong: ya, i also dunno how much my boy drinking. when btle feed him, he can range from 60 - 100ml. depending on how much i offer him. and even after btle feed him, he will ask for milk after 1+hr..

aiyo.. unless he slping, else i will be offering my breast almost every hr.

wow, long time no come in, many posts!!

thks for informing abt the 10% sale at taka! shopping time!

ong/limmil: I am also total BF, i also have no idea how much my girl is drinking. even bottle feed, think she takes abt 100ml thereabouts.

siangjiao, thks for sharing dat! time to go down to the library!

I think i am also possessive of my girl. I even thought of quitting to take care of her myself! Think I've grown very attached to her, I dun wish to let others take care of her when I go back to work after CNY. But no choice, gotta learn to let go...
 
xoxo,
your case sounds bad - the total opposite of mine. I remember how Jo scream her head off the moment I lift up my blouse to offer her the breast
sad.gif
(before that was only wailing). Cos I have not been able to catch up with the fast moving thread, just want to ask if you have tried different brands and types of teats? Maybe you want to try dipping the teat in colic water before offering the bottle to her? Heard from my CL that all babies love sweet stuff. Might work?
 
Quiet here tonight..

My hubby trying to pat pat Andre to sleep. Playing baby lullaby in the background. Baby's eyes big big staring at daddy nodding off. Looks like my CD is effective on the wrong guy. Dunno why but this scenario tickles me so much..

Alritey, going to catch "The Four" on channel 55 now.. Nitez gals

that's funny... hahaha... now 11+ liao and my bb's eyes also big leh. Think going to be long night for me again >.<
 
famela: i'm really at a loss. Have to decide within today or tomorrow.

hey people, I think I read somewhere about how much the baby's weight gain should be, but I can't remember much. How much should it be?

Yesterday my husband got into his kancheong spider mode, felt baby's face eczema was very bad, decided to bring him to see pd even when I was tired and wanted a nap, plus he brought his parents along. My mother offered to drive them back coz my husband had to go off for his own med appt, but I felt it looked pretty exaggerated to have 3 grandparents fussing over a simple case of eczema, so I went instead. Anyway, couldn't find the branch in Bishan, another clinic was closed, and the rest of the 15-20 clinics we saw were all GPs instead.

Finally I told my hubby to try to pd near my house, so brought baby there. PD said his weight gain is not enough. birth weight 3.7, now at 7-8 weeks only 5.25. Is it too little? How much should baby gain each week? THen he suggested that I give a bit more of FM (had been on 95-98% BM), but the previous PD told me to go on TBM to reduce allergy. My son has eczema on face. This PD said it's a tricky situation becoz to reduce allergy, should go TBM, but becoz weight is low, should supplement with FM. So now I don't know what to do.

Then I also realised the health booklet states vaccinations at 1st month, but the PD at thomson booklet says 2nd month, which I had asked the replacement PD. Argh!! I'm so confused. So far my son had gone to see doctor 3 times, and every time different one.
 
good morning all!

siangjiao: that's funny! LOL! a very familiar scenario at my house too.

sharing good news: i *think* baby Ana is finally sleeping longer tru the night. for past couple of days only woke up once after sleeping at 8ish/8.30. yest she slept at 7ish (abt 7.15), woke up at 3.10am and the next one at 7.45am. yeahhhooo!

BUT, unfortunately, my #1 is down with fever. so he woke up several times yest.

glass: just think thru it and decide whichever is best for you and family yah?
happy.gif
don't stress, don't stress *hugs*

can't rem abt the weight gain either. i think it was astro who posted it..? hmm.. abt weight gain, i thought as long as poo/pee ok, baby healthy.. is ok? this has always been my assumption lar. i think best if u stick to one PD otherwise you'll get different instructions and feel even more insecure with all that you're hearing.

i bring my kids for vaccinations at poly so i follow their schedule which is stated in the health booklet. so ana had her 2nd hep b at 1 month old. next jab we're taking the 6in1/5in1( haven't decided but most likely the former) also at polyclinic. that one has been scheduled for her 3rd month so her appt's in January. only when sick then i bring to a PD at woodlands - Baby Bear Clinic. Always crowded but i like the doc. always explaining things to me.

Siangjiao: thanks for telling us abt the pre-birth kit at the library! I went to get it just now! Btw, if u registered baby as a member of nlb, u can borrow 4 bks n they'll give a free cotton bag... Get ur kids to start reading from young! Haha...
 
glass - our PD at AMK baby clinic said that weight gain or baby shud be roughly arnd 1 kg per month.
Riona gained 1 kg during her 1st month and 800 gms in the 2nd month. Dr said its healthy weight gain.
i too sked if i need to supplement with FM as she keeps on sucking her hand. Dr said as long as she is not crying for milk and her weight gain is healthy, just do TBF.

For eczema, did u try calendula cream? heard that it works well for eczema
 
hippo,

may have missed some posts in b/w..so just checking again - when is the drugstore spree arriving?
i can't seem to find the name of the mommy who organised the spree - so checking with you...pls don't mind.
 
limmil,
i got no hands free so just hold with the hands lor that's y it is so tiring plus the neck oso aching fm constantly lookg downwards to check on the milk. My bellows was wet cos i steralise them together. Sometimes the bellow do not contract properly could be becos the adaptor cap have clip on part of the bellow as this happen to mine before.

PY,
sometimes i oso realise the pump siao siao one like can suck sometime and can't suck sometime. Usually when breast not slightly engored, it is hard to pump cos nothing comes out.

Siaojiao/loke,
thks for the info on the free stuffs.
 
glass,
I think the birth weight thing is ok leh. Mine is born at 2.94, at 6 weeks, she is 4.26 and PD say she is healthy. Like what Famela said, don't worry too much about weight unless you can see signs of unhealthiness in your bb.
