aloe.. i bring him to chinese physician..does help.. they give 2 stomach pack to put to reduce wind.. i feel my bb better after tat although still hv wind lah..
Nana: I prefer this current maid so far no "problems" so hope she wrk n take care my bb for me n to change means I hv to retrain I m just too lazy to teach everything again plus we r so tire during this period. I m thinking wat if her mum really can't make it n she stil serving her loan it mean she also can't go home, right? But we r like so bad.
hehe nanabear you so funny [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] sori for the unglam look that was my first attempt in posting lah got to excuse me!!!
Yeah pour EBM into bottle and then the mb for storage. Once milk in bag, squeeze out the excess air, zip and freeze the ebm. Can lie flat for storage so it takes up less space in fridge. Look at this link very useful http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/women/pregnancy/birth/828.html

Hi Mummies,
I have been reading silently, but just too tired to post.
RE: Burping - about 2 times a day I give bb colic drops(Dentinox) . Usually right after drinking milk bb dunt burp.I will keep rubbing his back and then after doing it for 5-10 mins, I lay bb down flat on bed, go and wash his feeding bottle. After laying him down, I lift him up again and try burping him, and usually all the time he burps successfully. He will feel uncomfortable and turn red and cries most times after his burp coz he feels like vomitting out milk. I do continue to burp him untill he either falls aslp or vomits some milk out. All mummies try laying him down for 10-15mins before burping bb again.
RE : Taking care of bb yrself - How do u gals do it?? Ive been bringing bb home since day 17, and its so tiring. My hubby helps to feed and take care of him with me and its still tiring. Im desparately looking for maid to share the load. Its too much, washing bb clothes, feeding, burping and doing housework. Furthermore Im not even Bfing.
RE : Menses - After my csect, Im having my first menses this month. It terribly heavy , and I have to change pad every 3-4 hours else it gets drenched and flows out. I change my clothes 3 times becus of overflowing probs. this has been happening since yesterday, and Im getting worried. Its seriously alot of blood, any mummies experiencing the same thing?

Hi all~
There has been a lot of posts and it sure take some time to read them..
Birth Story :
17 May 2010
@3+pm : was woken up by hubby saying that it is rather late and I m still sleeping. Wait my bb ger hungry how? Got up and went to washroom. Finish doing small biz and found some blood when I wipe. Called gynae's clinic but doc has left. Nurse advise me to observe for more bleeding or contractions.
4+ pm: Decide to go down to TMC as having a bit of contraction.
5+ pm: Reach TMC and sit down near the 24 hr clinic. Hub went to buy Jollibean and both of us sit there and eat. Timed contractions is 15 mins apart.
6+pm : Decided to go home since contractions not that intense. Had dinner at home at ard 9+ and went to bed at ard 12+.
18 May 2010
@3.00am : Waterbag burst at home (felt water flowing out rapidly) and quickly we took a cab down to TMC.
@3.15am : Arrive at TMC and went to the observation ward. Nurse did a VE and also attached to CTG machine. Could not time contractions as clock was blocked by curtain of my bed.
@5+am : Vomitted my dinner out due to contractions pain. Was thinking how come none of the nurses on duty ask whether I want pain relief or not.
@6am : Press the nurse bell and asked for laughing gas as cannot take contraction pain. Nurse was asking y I did not request for it earlier.
@7+ : Gynae come and did a VE for me and he informed me that I was 8cm dilated. He told me that I should be able to deliver naturally in an hour time. Was wheeled into labour ward and the nurse help to prepare me for nautral birth. Was telling me what to do when crowning happens. Was doing around 6-7 pushes and breathing my laughing gas before nurse went to call gynae.
@9am : Contraction hit and gynae asked me to push and my little princess is born at 9.13am.

Taking care of baby
I have been taking care of my gal myself as my mom only cooks, wash my gal's clothes and help do a bit of housework. These few days my hubby was working late so by the time he reaches home, he is very tired.
Diaper
I only change my gal's diaper when she poo or when I feel her diaper is very heavy. Did put rash cream on her butt as it is slightly red.
Pooing n peeing
After I change from BM to FM as my gal got bad jaundice, my gal has been pooing at least once every day.
Burping
My gal did not burp every time after she finishes her milk. Did try to burp her but she too sleepy to even respond to me. Will try Agginess's method later when she drinks finish her milk.
Thanks bx, Sue and Loh who had accepted my friend request in FB. Can add me at [email protected] for other moms.

Mrs Teo, wat my CL did was to use needle to enlarge or can cut a small criss cross on the teat hole to make it slightly bigger.. then easier for the babe to drink FM.. just remember which teats u use for FM which ones u use for BM (can also use the already enlarged holes just that flow will be faster)
Hey mng ladies..
My bb has this mng routine.. he knows for his first feed of the day (at abt 5am) I will always give it to him lying down on my bed then both of us would fall asleep until nez feed. only sometimes i will put him back in his cot.. today he came snuggling to me when i put him in my bed.. then when i put him away from him bec i was scared of accidentially sleeping on him.. awhile ltr i found him sticking to me again.. heheh.. so cute! and only 5 wk old.
Hey agnes! nice to hear from u. U want part time help? my urut lady has some contacts.. she knows some malay aunties who can come to ur place and clean like for half a day and even cook meals if u want.. 91652026.. auntie jumie
chillimum- u on TBF or EBM? if then baby no need to poop everyday.. sometimes can poop once a week only. bec BM is easily digestable and the nutrients are all used up so rarely any waste.. but need to pee everyday.. thats the only way to tell tt ur bb is getting food into her body.

Wind in stomach - my PD gave me ridwind baby drops to put in her milk which i find quite effective (about once a day)and i rub ru yi oil after every bath.. she still has wind and sometimes she doesn't burp either (too sleepy) ...my CL also apply this 'su he wan' some black ball thing on her tummy and holds it there with a cotton pad about once a week.. i ain't too sure if its effective but touch wood... no colic yet...
Poo - baby is 5 weeks today... every since changed to FM she poops about 1x a day.. but i do give water... maybe the total of 20ml - 30ml a day... my CL insists 100ml a day is the max but i ain't gonna give so much...
Looking after babe - my CL leaves tmrw *sob sob*... i dun need to do housework, dun do washing of clothes, dun cook.... and i already find it so tiring looking after the babe!! Hubby doesnt help cos he normally stones in front of the tv after work.... sigh... my SIL just told me the other day... toughen up princess....
Congrats Jobel.. welcome to the lack of sleep club...

Hi lilstarz29,
Same here.. my CL is leaving tom.. the real challenge starts tom.. On one hand, I'm looking forward to it (cos' I'm tired of having a stranger in my home, and messy kitchen).. on the other hand, I'm kinda worried that I cannot handle baby alone.. Just got to keep telling myself to try and take it easy.. everything else can take a backseat first..

Re: poo poo,
I think bb poo poo nw quite stable after full month not like when they just just born 1 day can poo every after feeds n quite siong when come to using diapers. Nw my gal also don poo after every feeds mayb a day abt 3-4 time n not so tiring when come to e night feedings can u imagine they drink n they poo after tt they hungry again very fast n we hv to feed them again.

Agginess, for burping, i always do it in btw her feed n aft it. really recomm this pattern (advice from one mummy here, great!)instead of burping only aft bb finishes the milk. it cuts down the amt of BM being wasted when bb vomit it out. my wify oso has problem burping bb n i think its to do with the position of bb body n the patting strokes. for me i will always stop patting bb aft i hear at least 2 burps.
wify does the EBM. house chores i handle n feeding n burping we share equally. so far still manageable now but i really shack..
abt the menses, wify has really heavy discharge last wk but already subsides now.
A R, no pics of ur bb yet ah on fb?
Mothers, wanna chk do u bring ur bb to pray to both ur hb n ur ancestors b4 bb full mth huh? it has to b b4 or can it b after or mus on actual day??
Another Qn, do u let ur fren/relatives b ur bb godparents?? if so, do they request ur bb to pray to their ancestor??

Re: poo poo
i agree with chubby tiger. poo poo for my baby ger also seem to have stabilize now that she is a month old. About every 3 to 4 times a day, but a lot more each time. But my ger still needs to be fed like every 2 hourly even though she does give me occasional longer breaks by sleeping a little longer (half hour or so).
Next week will be the start of my home alone with baby. Seriously hope I can cope. Else will have to get my MIL to come back to help again. *fingers crossed*
i'm ordering tingkat from House of Catering for lunch also to settle the food problem.

Hi hi mummies!
My #1 has been down with viral fever and I am super exhausted.
KTSC,
I used BM on my bb's heat rash. It's very effective! Will keep at it. Thanks!
Anne,
my bb also has rashes near his eye and nose. Applying BM seems to work. We apply it after his bath and leave it to dry.
It's been a month I'm still having lochia but it's very little and mine should be tapering off soon maybe in another week or two.

Loh, I cant do burping in between feeds, becus my boy is impatient and hates it when we take out the feeding bottle halfway. So we can only try burping him after he has had enuff. And yes, since i dunt BF, i bottle feed him, I make sure he is in a slight sitting position rather then in a more lying down position. I think it helps to reduce the vomitting of milk out.
AR: I dunt really need part time help, coz I have contact for tht. I want a live in maid, coz I intend to go to work soon so I need a maid anyway. Thinking of long term, we still will need a maid, if planning for bb No 2. So why not hire now.
Mummies who do not intend to take maid, I have a queation. Dunt u feel its too tiring and u cannot go back to yr normal lifestyle like gng out wif frens , doing shopping or doing yr own things? I mean I do understand and Im willing to sacrifice abit. But with the bb, its not even possible to have a decent meal with hubby. How do u gals cope all these changes? I think now u gals know why Im so desparate to take maid...keke..Im a bad mummy, I seriously cant take so much changes and I miss gng out on dates wif hubby, gng out dinners wif frens. Im curious how u gals can so fast accept the changes.

Burping> if can get your baby burp after milk, don't let your baby led flat cause in case you're away he/she vomit, will choke. Must take note hor.
blue turtle, my baby also can't sleep long hour.
He will wake up, every 1 half or 2 hours to cry for milk. Day and night the same...
edie, Thanks I will try.
Mrs Lee, talking about my CL, she not no good but just I don't like she always carry my baby loh. Now mt baby only used to her so next week she left hor, I sure can't cope.
Yeap already learned everything from her exp bath. This morning I want to bath my baby but he cried so CL said she will bath instead.

Been reading all posts but no time to really post. Now eating my lunch and posting with one hand hahaha [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
CL left on Friday and it was a relief to all of us at home! When she left, she didnt do a good job! I found some rotting food in my kitchen hidden, those chinese mushrooms already soaked in a plastic bag, an oily kitchen, badly scratched counter top and the list goes on.... worse of all, she left my son with sticky ears, sticky eyes, from a mild heat rash to a very severe case of heat rash until it affected the scalp as well. It started out as rashes on his scalp and now its all stuck to his scalp like cradle cap. One day my mil came over and told me my son is smelly! I think that was 2 days before she left. In the end, i took over all duties from CL.
Been so busy caring for my boy. Now his rash is almost all cleared, no more sticky eyes, no more sticky ears, hair cleaned and not oily anymore. I'm waiting for my balm to arrive from Australia to clear his cradle cap.
Besides that, I have to look after my #1 cus she is sick (cough & running nose). And she has been wanting lots of attention from me and hb. When hb is at work, she wants it frm me and keep asking me to put didi on his bed and play with her. Phew... Not easy handling cleaning up the house, laundry & caring for 1 infant & entertaining 1 kid! Yesterday my #1 wants me to do baking with her and I had to make my son take a nap and then do baking with her. *faintz*
Wet nappies:
Usually I change his nappy pretty frequently even if its a little bit of pee. My boy dislike it so I have to change pretty frequently. He can even sleep while I'm changing him so I don't have a problem of him waking up every change.

Agginess,
Yes, I feel that frustration often even with 2nd kid, but I have accepted the fact that life is never going to be as carefree as I did when I had no kids. It will take a while for the acceptance to sink in, sometimes the same frustration comes back here and there but there is no turning back.
A lot of my stress is reduced by ensuring that there is a good support network, like hb, parents, in laws, sisters, maid etc, to help when I need to take a breather.
I will plan to have "me" time and go out on dinners and outings with friends, but it's never spontaneous anymore coz the bb runs my schedule.
Even now that my #1 is not a bb, when I do go out, I will be thinking of going back to my kid very soon and calling up to check how he is doing.
As a working mum, I can spend very little time with them, and they grow up so very fast. When I think of that, I can grit my teeth and cope better.
Luckyone,
I use a baby monitor, so that I can do stuff around the house while bb is sleeping.
When I am alone with bb, I will bathe after he has been fed and I manage to put him to sleep. Just need to make sure he is safe where he is sleeping. He just has to cry a bit until I am done bathing. No choice, a little crying won't hurt.

anne: chalet will be hard to get now anyways, cos school holiday already.
maybe you wanna try borrow/rent some condo function room, country club function room or book buffet @ hotel? depends on what is your budget and how many people you intending to invite also. need to check if you have place to express milk or nurse baby @ the venue too.
i'm doing mine this sat at home, order buffet in.

I will give my baby 6 in 1.

Luckyone,
My hb didnt want to give the ang pao to CL cus she didnt do a gd job and also opened all our new toiletries to use without even asking us first. She even soaked her dentures in my beautiful glass cup in my bathroom for putting toothbrushes (given to me by my sister during house warming) and now I have to throw the cup away cus it simply reminds me of her dentures! Anyway my sis told me to take it easy as she will buy another one for me in Australia. Besides my mum gave her an ang pao during 1st month celebration. Anyway she had the audacity to ask for ang pao frm my hb 2x on the day she leaves. She keep insisting we check her bags before the agent comes to pick her up but we didnt as we want the agent to witness. When we gave her the pay, she even can count wrongly and say we short-change her. Luckily agent was around and counted the money and it was the correct amount. Anyway we did give her an ang pao as my mum told me to give as a token for gd things to come to my son.
bx,
if you opt for 6-in-1 jab, no need to bring for hep b 2nd dosage at 1 month. 6-in-1 jab can be done 2nd month.

Sigh, I cried to my hubby last night that our lives will never be the same again. No more nice, long dinners, movies every weekend or shopping. It's not that I dont love my bb, somehow I got the feeling he became a 'third party'.
I am kinda depressed cos I felt a certain loss... I felt that I 'lost' the growing bump that was with me for 9 months and now, this unfamiliar, wailing baby is in front of me suddenly, the reality havent sink in yet.
I am thankful that you all are here sharing your experiences.. it really helps to relieve some stress.
One baby is already enough to make us wanna claw our faces.. I wonder how our grandmas manage to handle 6 or 8??

Ylc,
thks for the clarification [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
bb bao,
when ur bb grow older, u can always get ur parents to help bb sit, then u can go out for a nice dinner or movie. That was what I did during my #1 days.
Mrs heng,
no monthly checkup. Just check during the visits for vaccinations.
