Shugar: Oh dear...poor sam. Had to endure so much. But it's all over liao and everything should be ok.

haiz, not over wor! Results of ultra sound n blood test not 100% good.
Some issues discovered... Got to go back for more review
from further test results next week.
Ultrasound scans found tiny stones in gallbladder
pd is puzzled over this n wants to know how/why they got there.

Min is the Queen of ikan bilis club i believe - 5.81kg & 61.5cm. 25th percentile
but PD said for BF bb is ok leh.
we brought her favourite musical octopus toy in to distract her and she impressed PD cos was gurgling n laughing as he was examining her.
she cried like 2 cries after the 2 jabs and stopped almost immediately. PHEW! so the highly anticipated event became an over-hyped non-event

jrrt,
eh, but RN is younger than Min no? Min turns 4 mths on the 10th. i remember RN is like at least 1 week younger right?
anyways i am quite consoled cos PD said nothing's wrong and she's growing great and healthy so I shall not worry over her weight.
but you know what? i bought 2 really nice polo ralph lauren outfits for her to wear for CNY and its TOO BIG!!! ARGH!!!

awww...so depressing! i went out to dabao dinner and there were just too many CNY goodies i am missing out on because i cannot take dairy! let me cry my lungs out here..."WAAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAAA"..besides bak kwa and love letters...i can't have anything else..ok, add mandarin oranges 
i can't even have an "angpow" u gals going around for CNY? I am trying to escape my family's radar. Usually i'll be overseas so everyone has gotten used to my absence..heh, not much hype abt so i suppose if this is successful, besides the MIL and mummy's place..i should be able to spend my CNY in quiet bliss at home
duracell >> hmm...strategic reason indeed! heh...hope it pans out the way you want it..who knows? maybe angel cld combine both breast and bottle - that would be a real clincher yeah?
elly >> I was in ucl ard the same time u were in ic! i am just a yr younger...
besides, what's yuning's birthdate? is it the 4th of oct?
tien >> no..i am used to bloody diapers. she is fine now...having spent the past two days a tad more lethargic than usual...but as it is with each episode, i get the blame. i have actually tried feeding her the bottle as i walk abt the hse. no success. in public..whoa, that would demand plenty of courage from me! hmmm..should i try?
astro, shugar >> hope both babes are well enough for CNY. let's all stay healthy and happy k? shoo away the glum...no more needles, no more docs and no more meds for all of us!
hippo >> min has a favourite octopus? audrey has discovered that these eight legged creatures are delicious! she has been trying to stuff her 8-legged friend these few days...glad both girls find so much delight in octopuses! nvm..numbers only..audrey joins min at the 25th percentile..or maybe dre is actually at the 20th percentile? SF reported her weight at 4mo is only 5.8kg? not past the 6kg mark yet!

xoxo: yeah.. real clincher.. then i must make sure i don't say anything that sound like i'm gloating over it.. cos i know many mums here either can't get baby to latch at all, or can't get baby to take the bottle at all.. so of course i count my blessings now.. right now, i'm taking it easy on Angel and myself. if i can't be around, then i'll let whoever is looking after her to give her the bottle...

duracell >> don't worry..it isn't gloating. everybody's circumstances are different - just like our babies are all unique! guess we came together on this forum to vent steam, share concerns, add oil for yr chums and to be generally positive and happy mummies (i read there's BPs going on..so shopping, spending money together are all par for the course!)...yep..taking it easy, enjoy yr bb..that's the attitude *thumbs up*
PY,

xoxo,

shugar,

Harlow mummies!
Hippo: Trust me! It's better to be in the ikan bilis club. I grow up as the chairperson of the killer whale club and it was a sad and depressing childhood+teenage-hood and now motherhood...I was only happy for 4 years! That's why I am going to be those super control mummy, controlling what goes into yx's mouth. cos she already have the fat genes. Hopefully the bfg (according to myths) will subdue the stupid fat genes.
xoxo: You are another amazing mummy. For the lil one can control your diet. Jia you dear...I will be abstaining all the CNY goodies this time round too. Although for a different reason, you have me!! Hahah and to make you feel better, I am also TRYING not to take bak kwa. Effectively I am not taking anything.

Tien: i didnt know you can bottle feed such a young baby on the bjorn! U r so innovative! Maybe i shld try too. Me been unsuccessful getting yuning onto the bottle.
PY: congrats on getting your girl onto the bottle! mylvera also recommended me to use nuk teats. i am gg to try that. had been trying to bottle feed my ebm with many different bottles but my girl just refuses to take the fake nipple! sigh...

tien: i cross my fingers and pray that angel can be vversatile.. if she doesnt, then i can only really be glad that i managed to reverse the bottle-loving situation to non-bottle-loving situation. haha..
elly: think the nuk latex teats are good cos the texture is like the breasts.. budden because the teats allow fast flow of milk, baby might not get used to it.. u need to start with the smallest hole size.. remember to check the packaging. it might say for 0 - 6 mths, but there are different hole size, from small to medium to large.

thanks to mummies on your advice. I guess I just have to accept his ever-changing patterns as part of the excitement & fun of bringing him up
these few days have been better as my boy is able to take longer naps during the day. sometimes if he wakes up crying before his next feed, i will pick him up to pat him... and he will fall back to sleep again.
feeding wise...he is now drinking about 150ml per feed. as what some mummies mentioned, as long as they are healthy and gaining weight, shldn't fret too much abt the slight drop in appetite. he will be going for his 4th mth jab tomorrow..we shall see his weight gain then!

Loke: as long as u r tbd on baby demands..think u dun have to worry too much abt baby not having enough. Jia you!!
Janjan: am having the same problem with my boy. I woke up in middle of night to feed him yday n he scared the shit out of me, cos he essentially stuffed his face in the mattress and he wasn't crying either. How to prevent him frm flipping??? Cos after the feed I put him on his back, in the morning when I wake up he is half stuffed against the pillow n mattress

Shugar:You need to appear calm and happy in front of bb.It will affect him if he witness you been so anxious.
The doc also found some stones in me last month. I wonder if a keyhole surgery can be done. My lymp node and thyroid gland is as swollen til about the size of an egg.
My wrist is injured and it makes caring for him harder.Most of the time he refuse to be fed by others even his daddy.So regardless of how MIL or mum likes to rattle about been 'experience'. They cannot handle him during feeding. Scolding me daily that i overfeed and injured my bb coz he drink abt 150m-270ml per feed.He become quite aggressive and wont stop crying when he is hungry. They are also very unhappy that bb will insist in me feeding him most of the time. Ppl around me said that i spoil him. I see nothing wrong in playing music, singing to him during feeding. Because he drink slowly and is use to listening to music which is a must during feeding now.I have been singing til my throat is sore. Did i spoil him? Why are these ppl critising non stop at almost everything? He is quite happy,sociable and active. I cannot fathom how he can smile,laugh and babble at everyone who smile and talk to him? The PD laugh at my concerns and assure me that my bb is very healthy and his weight is ok. He said every bb require different amt of calories.
I felt that i m shortchanging my bb if i go for the surgery coz i wouldnt be able to care for him this much for sometime.
I know that i m complaining alot and is worrying abt almost everything. I want to ensure that i am giving the best to my bb in assuring that he is and will develop well. Alot of frustrations!
