Jesline - no pacifier mark - I bought one that is lightweight - not bulky and the shape fits the mouth - NUK brand. Since the pacifier is used only when baby sleeps, it was easier to wean off. I remember when my gal was about a year plus - I simply told her that the pacifier had fallen off when we went out. She was able to grasp a few ideas then - she bought my story- the next few days - nightmare cos she refused to sleep but i gave her a bolster and had to coax her for some time before she slept. And VIOLA after 2-3 days she got used to the idea. Same for my son. Now my third one - gal I am planning to do the same.

Calla and Siva, I like to check with you also, does ur bb want to suck the pacifier at other times besides sleeping and napping? Cos my bb kept wanting to suck his thumb when he's bored or playing. Already tried to distract him but he will still unknowingly put his thumb into his mouth.

Siva, thanks for sharing. I have tried using NUK previously but my bb sucks really hard and after awhile, there's a red mark around the mouth. And he gets more active by sucking the pacifier and doesn't want to go to sleep.
Jmi: same for me, i keep wondering what is she thinking now..like is she thinking of me..will she forget me..and silly stuff. but when you head straight to see her again, the smile she gives just melts you away..haiz
Jesline, mine will also give a mark, but sometimes dun have.
btw: i saw tommiee tippie has a pacificer that is not nipple type, but for gums (u-shaped). wondering any mommies has try that?

Jesline,
my boy fuss only durig the long weekend and wants daddy to carry him when daddy is sick. He's fine from Monday. He'll latch on and fall asleep. I tried letting him suck his hands to sleep cos I refuse to give pacifier but he didn't want.
Howeve, he will cry very badly when my mum try to carry him to sleep. He cried till there are rashes on his face and no voice. My mum says it's cos he doesn't has anything to suckle. So I tried not to let him latch on and carry him to sleep when he cried very badly. After my mum pass to me, he fell asleep within 10mins in my arms. I just wanted to ensure he can sleep without suckling so that I can wean him off latching soon.
Jmi,
I'm also thinking whether I should put my boy in infant care. But he's very fussy when he wanna sleep. He'll cry till no voice and rashes. Just wonderig how will the teachers there handle him? Will they just leave him alone and cry?
Jared is such a good boy. He can fall asleep so fast himself. You should be happy that he can adapt so fast and you don't have to worry so much about him.
But we mummies are very contradicting. We want baby to adapt easily so that we don't have to worry about them. If they adapt too easily, we are worried how come they don't miss mummies and am fine with other people. We are constantly worried. Sigh

Mini, yah whenever he smiles all my worries go away.
Bryest, if you really wanna put Estovan in the IFC, go and look around the place first. See if the kiddos are happy, see how the teachers handle the kids. We toured the IFC before deciding which one to put Jared in.
Actually the teachers there all know what to do, they may have little teething problem initially but it will all be fine. I was talking to both Jared's teachers, they shared how some kids take a long time to settle in, how some of them don't take the bottle etc but now they are all fine. The teachers all know each babies' behaviour, character and patterns. They definitely won't leave him alone and cry.

jesline:
i m also using nuk brand. find that my gal can suck better using that than the avent. think they r at the stage when they want to suck their fingers and fists. Since they need to suckle at something, might as well suck the pacifier. More hygienic than fingers and also easier to wean off. My friends & SIL juz tell their kids that the pacifier is lost/they throw away the pacifier in front of the kids. After 2-3 days, the kids naturally forget abt the pacifier[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]. i will be using the same mtd in time to come.i only restrict the pacifier to nap times. The rest of the time when they want to put fingers into the mouth, i just let her lick for a really short while & then take them out and tell her cannot suck fingers cuz very dirty & then distract her with other activities. so far so gd. The pacifier does leave a mark sometimes & but it will go away so doesnt bother me[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

apple: My PD actually advised me to give bb 1 dose of infant panadol when i reach home. Thereafter, no need to give if bb doesn't have fever. My bb had his 2nd jab yesterday, so far so good... he didn't fuss much after that 1 dose of infant panadol.
Yesterday, while waiting at the PD clinic, i listened to a mommy chatting with the clinic assistant. This mommy has a 6 year old daughter. She told the clinic assistant how her daughter started from suckling her hands, to suckling her fingernails. Even now, she still has the habit. And worst of all, at night, she will try to suckle her toes! *faint*

For mummies who express milk, do you wash your pump parts every time after use with cleanser like pigeon and then sterilize it?
I read before that once baby starts putting hands to their mouth, which usually happens when around 3 months, they have built a better immune system, so don't need to be excessively clean.
I have just started to sterilize pump once in the morning, then after expressing just store the pump parts into airtight container like tupperware and put into fridge. Will use it again when it is time to pump again in 3 hours time. After 2-3x usage, will wash it again with pigeon cleanser and sterilize the pump.
Or anyone have other ways?

Lois & Sivagami:
Thought international guidelines say to start weaning at 6mths so as to reduce allergies? Anyway, i intend to start my gal on Bellamy organic rice cereal when the time comes. The Heiz series is not bad too.
Jes T:
I wash my pump parts with cleanser after every pump but only sterilize once in the morning. Wash pump parts & bottles until got phobia already. Dunno how much longer i can 'dong'.
Lovie & Cloh:
I think it varies from people to people when the 1st period will come after delivery & after u have stop bfg. I have friends whose periods only return 6mths after they have stopped bfg. On the other hand, i also have friends whose periods return even when they are still bfg...
apple_gal:
Need to monitor for at least 48hrs[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi Mummies,
After I start work its hard to log on. Back from work will be busy with Cherish...Cherish "found" her feet a few days back...hahah so now she keep bending herself like acrobat so she can hold her feet... if she is lucky she somemore can put a toe into her mouth...eeewww....
She has flu these few days n is very cranky... so I am super tired dealing with her...
Tiny Bites Scissors :
Mummies, I did not update for awhile. i am so sorry. I have place all your orders to my frd and have received an sms frm her that the scissors will arrive from the supplier maybe on 10 June.... once I have firm up info i will update again... For mummies who have yet to transfer payment to me, kindly do so. Thank you.
Jmi : I understand how u feel. Jared will be fine at IFC. Dun worry. To see him play with his mate should be a consolation for u. At least u knw he is in good hands [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] When Cherish just went to nanny i was also crying on and off for a few days... but seeing her adapting so well at nanny's plc n seeing nanny n family doting on her actually calms me dwn. Now every morning when i send her to nanny she will squeal with delight when she see her nanny... she dun squeal when she see me wor... so jealous....
Jes T : I dun sterilised the pump parts everytime i pump. I wash with baby bottle cleanser (Tollijoy) n water. Then at nite after last pump i soak in hot soapy water...
Minime : Cherish has tommee tippee pacifier too. But she dun like it lei... think bcos of the shape?! I'm not sure... but she prefers her avent pacifier...
Kath : I pump twice at work... usually can pump abt 150 to 160ml per pump... but recently LKK always show me black face when i go pump... so i pump not so regularly now... realise my supply now drop to like 120-130ml per pump...jiat lat... think i shld be stopping bf-ing soon...
Angel : ho seh bo??? how's life after going back to work???

Kath: I envy you le... I can only pump out 300 ml a day! So no choice but to supplement with FM.
Tried pumping at my office building's mummy room today... quite ok. Got baby's photos on the walls to induce let down. Only problem is there is only 1 sofa, so will really feel pressurised when another mummy comes into the room to wait for her turn. Luckily, the mummy that came in today is my friend... so she was very patient to wait for me for 30 mins to finish pumping my pathetic 110ml (did not pump for 8 hours) while we chit chat. She said she only needs 10 mins to pump 130ml! Think my milk ducts must be too tiny, that's why take so long!

Hi mummies
Today's my 1st day back at work. Oh...miss my gal so much [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] She didn't sleep much today, only on and off for less than 30 mins. Maybe she's not used to not having me around for the whole day?
Getting ready to shift office today, so whole office is occupied by carton boxes. When I went into the storeroom to pump, the whole rm was stacked with carton boxes. I didn't get to pump in office.
By lunchtime, i felt engorged so I rushed home fr AMK to SK to latch my gal & then pump after that before rushing back to office. Next 3 days on training @ new office building. All rooms locked except the training rm. Siao le...how to pump??? Now cannot rush home liao as new office is at CCK.

Angel Lim:
Initially when she had her 1st episode of milk fussiness, i also thot it was cuz i fed her frozen EBM, then i switch to fresh EBM after feeding her 60ml of frozen EBM also no change. I dun usu leave EBM at rm temp to thaw, it's straight fr fridge to warmer. She usu has no problem finishing 150ml of EBM in 15 to 20mins but now, some feeds she can take a whole hr to finish! she will juz take half, then the other half she either struggles and fights with me to even take 30ml. So, after struggling with her for 30mins, i will put the remainder EBM back to the warmer, play with her for 5 to 10 mins before attempting to feed her again. Then yest, she decided to be gd and finish all her feeds with no problem.
I dun latch her anymore since she was 8 wks old. She was juz taking too long to feed via latching so i gave up. Since then, just pump and feed her EBM.
She has always been having a nice routine since 6 wks old (she fitted herself into the G Ford routine). Right now, she's bottle fed every 4 hourly. I have resigned to her milk fussiness...just let her be. As long as she's wetting her diapers regularly, active and meeting her minimum requirement of 100ml/kg/day, i wont bother too much. if not, i will die of frustration!
Anyway, i think she's most prob teething...she's showing all the pre-teething signs...milk fussiness, occ night wakenings, drooling, sucking fingers and slightly looser stools..
i think working and bfg mothers are extra "wei da". Also so busy and stressed at work + tired fr being mummy still need to pump at work! Well, just have to hang in there and try your best to bf as long as possible. It's ok to supplement or feed FM. Some days when i m stressed and ss can barely meet demand, i also supplement[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
