Ruru - what about letting it stop gradually? It's better than taking medication to stop it completely. With the frequency reduced, the amount of milk will also drop. As for when it'll stop, I supposed when there's no latching/pumping? No experience yet coz my boy is still latching on at night.

with the naturally stop method after 1 month if u squeese u might sitll see milk - its ok - just resist massaging the breasts as well & dont pump dont latch just leave it - discomfort - chilled cabbage & if u take warm showers try not to activate the front so much

Chlosper: I took a class with Baking Calf last year (the Christmas log cake class). It was not bad. I am looking for bread making classes to join. Interested?
Also for macaroon, I almost signed up with Cookyn Inc but hubby had to go away for work at the last minute so we didn't pay for the course in the end. It's a 5 hour long class! But includes lunch. TOTT also offers macaroon classes I think as well as Shermay's.

Ming - I'm interested in the bread making class too. Figured out that since I'll be free for 2 months, might as well take up something.
Vic ma - one week. Hmm. I stopped for 5 days when the boy slept with helper when we went overseas. Unfortunately, he remembered about his night time routine when we're back. There's milk now, but not a lot I think. Which probably is the reason he's taking longer these days!!!!
We have started a new arrangement this week whereby he sleeps in his own room now with the helper. Unfortunately it's not working well as he woke up too often asking for milk, and my helper didn't get sufficient sleep. So after 3 nights of trying, it's back to my room with me. Weird though. When overseas, he woke up once when he slept with helper. Only difference I feel was that he's informed he has to sleep with helper, whereas at home, err, he's ignorant of that fact.

what we do is - give waterinstead of milk to discourage them from waking to drink milk - to get to sleeping whole night thru.
i dont know if its a parenting idea - some are very sayang to the kids & will wake 2-3 times to feed even up to 3-4 yrs old. I think its insane - i will go mad - dont have to THINK OR even TALK about #2 or #3.
I just give last feed before bed time & hope for the best. usually books say that if they keep waking for milk - they could be under fed during the day.

Vic ma - that sounds like me! Tried water, doesn't work. But I think the reason is I'm soft. I can't stand the crying. Maybe I should let daddy take over. Then things may be better!
Underfed... We have checked his diet before but it seems ok. We were quite worried at one stage as he's smaller than most. Talked to pd, etc but they told us to relax! So I left it. As long as he's happily eating. And he does eat a lot.

Hi Chlosper and Vic Ma,
Thanks for the feedback on how to stop bf-ing. I want to stop ASAP as have been falling sick frequently for the past 3 months and the most worrying thing is I seem to have developed antibiotic resistance to the weaker antibiotic medicine and need stronger and stronger ones to get well. Scary!!! With #1, I have hives outbreak every 2-3 days after bf-ing for 4+mths, but disappeared once I stopped bf-ing!
I think my body is signalling me that she can't cope, so better stop or else ruin my body old liao then I suffer then how?

morning ladies,
ruru: yup, if you slowly wean off, think is easiest. just stretch the time you latch or latch only when engorged. it will slowly dry up. however, i don't think it is the bf that makes you fall sick, but rather the lack of sleep, and exposure to more viruses now that your girl goes to school.
chlosper: i know! whenever todM wakes up crying for milk, i also rather just make the milk and go away cos it is way faster than telling her no milk and watch her bargain. having said that it happens very rarely. but we did dilute it gradually. my hb even put half scoop milk in 120ml water and she drank it up greedily even tho it looked like water. but then after that she somehow stopped waking up. oh, just realised that you r latching at night. i stopped when i got pregnant... idea?? =)

Hi Maddie,
I think so too, health weak, gal brings back viruses etc. Haiz... Will take chlosper, Vic Ma and your advice to slowly stop the bm. Don't want a case where I really have no milk should I decide to have #3 next time (as of now i won't even think about it as 2 is a handful!!!!!!)
Salute to the mommies of the past generation with 6-10 children. Unbelievable!! It takes a village to raise a child, so it take a country to raise 10 children!!! Hah!!!

Thanxs all for your advice. We've decided to confine half day playground. Reasons he has to start immunise to virus now or later. Just that we sometimes c him take so much medicine, heartache also. Bringing him to c PD again tonight. Though nose dripping not so much but still sleep with sound. This is just to make sure his lung is ok. Told my wife that if he is still active, he should b fine as notice he will b inactive if unwell.

Ruru,
Can check out the legoland website. I think there's some promotion now with supermarkets? Thought I saw some ads at Ntuc finest.
You know, just a few months back, they had a very good
Promotion on their annual pass (think 50%) off. My colleague was eyeing it, but decided to give it a pass. Her reasons - safety (in terms of driving to msia - her hubby's Malaysian!), teething issues they might have. She's adopting a wait and see attitude. My hubby has the same issue about driving to Malaysia too.
I hope legoland is fun. Coz I'll be there next week, albeit the one at Windsor.

chips & piglet08,
she is ok. everytime, only throw out a bit so keep going to clean her up, change bedsheet. this morning, wake up super hungry ask for milk which she usually don't drink.
refuse to eat any other things except for milk. when we eat breakfast, she finished a pack of milk but vomitted all shortly after she finished. hubby clean her up, send me to work, then go home change for her then bring her to see doc.

Chips,
Did PD give him Ventolin & Singulair for cough & phlegm? Ventolin is meant for cough & phlegm and with Singulair is gd for the lungs after coughing too much too.
U better take care too ya.
