you can get those infant black, white and red flashcards from places like ELC, mothercare, or even popular bookshop.
I am using the "baby sees book" now. Got from bp last time.
http://www.picthallandgunzi.com/boxed.php?id=2
Every few days flip to different pages and put it upright for bb to explore.
I will be using flashcards only when bb is ard 3 mths, strong enough to sit in the bumbo seat.

keicerash: different bb react to the FM differently. The doc said bb might poo 2-3days depending on the FM. u might want to change? Me currently using Mamil Gold and my bb doesnt poo everyday too.. used to everyday but now seem very hard for him to push out.
Or u might want to give ur bb some water in between the feed?

Angel : My gal's pattern now is more predictable, unless she tries to be "funny" on certain days la. Once she sleeps, i will faster start doing chores or pump. Sometimes, i am lazy or to tired I will sleep with her lor. Haaa....
Freesia : Ya Maybe I shld one day find time go talk talk to babysitter and see how she handles babies.
Bryest : I dun knw the babysitter personally. Staying within my block. Reccommended by my neighbour who is longtime frds with her. My hb and MIL went with me to see her. We thinks she's a nice lady. Very gentle. She use to take care of her grandchildren till now her grandchildren go childcare le, so she is quite free. So my neighbour ask her if she wans take care of my bb. She says ok. Initially wanted to ask my neighbour to take care of my bb. But who knws her DIL pregnant also....
Keicerash : My gal also has constipation. She is on BM full day only 1-2 bottles of FM at nite. Then suddenly one day she just decide she did not want to poo. And did not poo for 5 days. So I brought her to PD. PD pump med into her butt to flush out the waste. Then 4 days pass still no poo, so bring bk PD again and flush out waste again. PD says she could be absorbing most of the nutrients and thus not much "waste". But nevertheless, babies should pass waste at least once every 2-3 days. But PD also mention that some babies at certain stage of their babyhood, they do have a period where they just hv difficulty shtting. U might wan to bring yr bb to the PD and understand better.

i am not getting enough sleep from latchin bb at nite.
think i will switch back to bottlefeed at nite. At least he can sleep for longer hours. Everytime i latch, he will suckle for 5 mins, then fall aslp, only to wake up 1 hr later, and the cycle continues....
At least if i warm up the ebm, feed him, then pump out, the whole procedure will take less than 30min, but he can sleep longer. Ard 4 hrs.
any mummies doing the same thing now?

Constance,
Yeap. I'm doing th same thing. I bottle feed my bb EBM just before 12 midnite. Then he can sleep thru till ard 5 or 6am most of the time.
I try to latch before, still hv to pump out, more tired. I only latch once ard 6 or 6am if he got a bottle feed at ard 3am. Then he will sleep around again till I wake him to bath.

i am out of confinement, but also haven settle cda...
Sigh..my BM supply dropped not sure is it because I have been a bit lazy in pumping whilst I was sick..
And also busy with the full month celebration preparation and learning to pick things up.
I stopped taking Fenugreek too cos I kena urine infection not sure if its because of Fenugreek too..
In dilemma as to whether I should continue BF or switch to FM totally. In any case I haven had a chance to buy my new pump. And the medela single electric pump is not really serving well..

Blue,
I experienced the same problem, my baby is being fed much more than recommended, all because of my confinement nanny, she keeps feeding her whenever she wakes up, to the point that my baby drinks 150ml ebm in less than 2 hrs when she is only 1 week old. My nanny keep telling me baby is hungry and my bm is too dilated and watery as compared to fm so baby is not full.
Until a point in time i cannot take it anymore, i insist on latching on full, but initial stage very difficult coz i started late, i started on her 2-3 week of birth, by then, baby have already gotten used to bottle and always fall asleep aft 5-10mins of latching on, end up she is not full from the latch on, and she would fuss and cry. Somemore when i pump out, my ss is only approx 40-50ml both breasts (aft 45mins-1hr single pump). i'm still persisting on latching on now, think if you latch on and baby is used to it, her time spent on ur breast will increase and she will be fuller. Also, your body will stimulate more milk production each time she latches on. NOw i can pump out approx 80-90ml aft about 1 week of latching on.
I feed her fm in the night when my nanny looks aft her, then i will wake up and pump, store for the next day. If the next day she fuss and refuse latch on, i will feed her the ebm frm last night (if she keep on crying). Else, i will try to latch on if she doesnt reject and doesnt cry too hard...
Hope this info is useful to you

Any mummies who are latching on baby? Do we need to burp baby aft latching on? coz my baby likes to fall asleep after latching on, but when i burp her she will wake up and refuse to sleep aft tat.
However, if i just put her down without burping her, she will vomit out milk (lots of milk) sometimes. Then she will cry very loudly, and seemed to want somemore milk, then when i feed her again and try to burp her this time, she vomit out lots of milk again, then she cry very loudly again... think its because the milk didnt go to her stomach so she is not full even though she has sucked a lot alr...
Not sure if i must burp her everytime she finishes feeding from latch on...
Any mummies can advise?

Mummy,
From what i learn from Antenatal Class, it's not necessary to burp baby after BM. But if u wanna burp her, why not? Try to burp her for 10mins and lift her up for a while after each burp instead of putting her down straight after hearing her burp as the milk will still go back! Hope it helps..

Woofy, what size huggies did you buy? I checked the promo only got size m. Don't think my bb can fit that yet leh.
Bbin, how come my bb poos up to 3 times per day? Is it normal?
Is anyone using the tollyjoy baby detergent to clean bottles? Do you find the bubblegum smell very strong and still present when you open the steriliser to remove the bottles? I'm wondering if my helper is using too much detergent or too little water to wash off the soap.
Anyway, I tried to put my baby on nuk teats. The one I bought was for 0-6mths. Medium flow for milk. But it's too fast for him leh, he keeps choking and spilling out the milk.. Anyone has experience w nuk teats?

Mummy : I still burp my gal after I latch her. Although from Lactation Consultant, she say no need cos BM straight from Breast should not hv "air", cos its "vacuum". But cos my gal is always very "windy", so i still burp her after she latch on each breast.
Yikai : I'm using the tollyjoy detergent. The bubblegum smell is strong, but after wash off should not have anymore smell le. Faint smell sure hv.
Lovie : u wan to stop breastfeeding ar? Sometimes i also very sian also feel like stopping. Imagine pump until want to die only manage 60-80 ml. If my gal latches, pump out only 20-30ml. Sianz lor...
