Thanks mummies for sharing.. so for a start I can give cereals after milk?
Will baby be too full to eat?
And after 4 days of cereals, I can move on to a new food rite?
How do i know when to increase frequency so bb has solids more than 1 feeding a day?
Off-topic, so angry with my mum!
U know babies have this tiny white bumps on their face rite, which usually comes & goes on their own.
My gal only had about 2-3 tiny bumps on her face and my mum went to poke them with a needle!
She said the same pimple had been there for very long.
I told her off & she dun understand why am I making a big fuss. But really lor! If she accidentally poke the face how?
If got scar how?! *angry*

Sweetkiss: Those little tiny pearls are called melia.. not supposed to poke them cos bb skin sensitve. My boy's ones also there very long liao, got abt 4mths le... recently one just drop only. So please ask your mum not to poke with needle. It will go. Plus don't know needle got sterilised or not.. so dirty.
SK: sorry to say this, but didnt ur mum knows that it's common for bb to have these tiny white pimples look alike on their face which goes off very soon and new ones comes out again?
my bb oso have it and all i did was to clean her face with moist cotton pad before shower and apply lotion on her face after shower.

SK: Girl, read this.. all the info u need abt baby weaning: http://www.homemade-baby-food-recipes.com/babys-first-foods.html
basically when u introduce solids, it is only meant to supplement their milk. Milk is still their #1 staple of food. So dont really have to increase until you can see your baby keeps feeling hungry even after his/her milk and solids. Then perhaps you can increase it little by little. But we should trust our babies to give signals to us as to whether they want or not. Like if they turn their heads away, or push the food out with their tongues.. then that means they dont want the solid. Then don't force it in.. wait till another time n try again. If u force, it can turn them off solids which is no good~

Jaclyn: yaya my bb turn head away, push teats out her mouth with her tongue whenever she is full up. sometimes leaving 1oz of milk, so wasteful.
As I only feed bb milk + brown rice (nestle) at home, lately my bb have been refusing to finish her milk at infant care. could it be bb wants the brown rice + milk at infant care too ?

ya lar! i v angry! she said she used the flame from the stove to burn the needle first. i dun care what she did but recently her pattern more than badminton.
u know my bb starts to stick out her tongue once in a while. my mum tell me is becos of the cloth teether book i bought for her. got link meh?

SK: I think theres always a problem with our MILs. Bcos our thinking r just too different! My MIL also thinks that sometimes bb don finish his milk is because of the milk stain on his tongue. Insist that I go and ask the PD about it. I told her its normal lah but cos im scared she will try and self-remedy.. so i went to ask the doc.
PD says my boy's tongue already very clean compare to other babies he saw lor!! I went home and tell her.. donno if shes convinced anot.
Also my son's neck got fats so at the back of his neck can see his folded fats.. my MIL says its bcos I put him in pram and the way he sit .. caused his neck to fold like that.
Wa lao eh.

xbeanniex: Ya lo. I think got to do with modern/old-fashion/educated/non educated.
My mom i wont consider her super modern, but she is educated. So she won't tell me all this crap bcos she knows I probably will know better since nowadays theres so much info to be found on internet etc. At the very least she'll tell me her concern and 9 out of 10 times I will listen to her.
But things that come out of my MIL ... unbelievable.

Jaclyn, yah! Since newborn my mum bought the mouth cleaning syrup for bb. She even told me need to “press” on the gums when cleaning the mouth so the teeth grow out nicely.
Then when bb no mood to finish milk, she also said cos the tongue v dirty, milk become tasteless to them.
Beannie: Initially she already got a place in infant care. Somemore que from Feb 2010 lor.
My hubby can fetch her at 7pm if put IFC.. I cant cos I tend to OT often. So it was all planned de.
Then my MIL came along and said she will pick my baby up at 6pm daily, bring her around till we reach. I dun want lor.
I dun see any diff in leaving bb for another hr in IFC. But MIL keep insisting until I pek cek say let my mum take care.
I will put bb back in IFC after I change a job nearer to home, with lesser OT.

Jaclyn: true... I wondered things that come out of my MIL ... ridiculious, hilarious, unbelievable at times too.
MY HB still tell me what... at least my parents got experience bringing up 4 kids (my HB got 3 other older siblings) and i keep telling my HB, my mum got minimum experience of bringing up 2 of her own kids + 13 other kids not hers for the past 21 yrs with the youngest one 4yrs old now.
my HB says i talk cock ... i wondered who is talking cock... u mommies see lar... my HB can quarrel with me over this stupid issue which is damn obvious who is more experience with bb liao right ?

My mum doesn’t believe in internet. When I tell her the facts and said I read them off the net, she will always tell me dun always believe all these crap, “internet people anyhow write”.
I am sick of arguing with her so whenever I tell her anything, I will say “the doctor say one”..

Oh.. forget to mention.. last night, I went to in law house then I wanna put bb to sleep le cos can see he is tired le. So I ask the maid to heat up the milk so that i can feed him and put him to bed. While waiting for the milk to heat up, the maid tried to play with Kayden on the left side.. kayden look at her and then turn away to bury his face into my breats.. then the maid tried again from the right side, Kayden turn to look at her and then turn to bury his face into my breasts again.. the maid was abit upset and say "mummy here and you don't want me liao".. I told the maid "He wanna sleep.. so ignore pple".. but in my heart, i so happy cause he wan me and not the maid. Haha!!

me too wanna get carseat... not an expert but read reviews from the net that Britax is the best... in terms of comfort. Other pro is that it is very safe.
I went to Kaki Bukit (2 baby showrooms)... indeed Britax is the most comfy. But quite ex. Other con is whole seat cannot remove to wash unlike maxi cosi / ingeslina brand...
You should go there check it out and see what you like..
Anyways, i'm getting the convertible ones... as baby should be put rear facing as long as possible..
fyi.. other good reviews are: evenflo truimph advantage, graco nautilus and safety 1st convertible. (Note my research all on convertible car seats only)

Hi Mummies!
How to clean bb's tongue thoroughly? Normally I just use washcloth and wipe using cooled boiled water and wipe the gums, tongue. But hard to reach more inside of the tongue cos sometimes bb will bite on my finger, if not, he will give me the sour gagging face.
Hi Claudia!
I find that it is easier to burp bb now as he grows older cos he will try to bring up the burp himself. But when he falls asleep, v v hard to burp him. So i seldom burp, esp at nite
Or you can wait till bb wakes up from the nap and burp bb. Sometimes I put ridwind in his milk and he will fart quite alot. I think it helps to get rid of wind too.
My usual burping style is bb's head over my shoulder, or the sitting down style, supporting his neck.

sito, claudia,
just bought inglesina marco polo carseat. i checked out britax but i don't really like the fabric. my baby is quite "chinchai" (er, not fussy in canto). as long as she gets to go out, she's v happy oredi. btw, all the brands you mentioned are american, no?
my baby's bedtime is 8.30pm. by 8pm she goes to the room, i'll read to her a bit, carry her, then put her down in her cot, she'll suck her pacifier for a while, then sleep. when she's ready to sleep, she won't kick her legs or kick her blanket off. if not, she'll kick her legs vigorously
she also doesn't burp after every feed. but she farts a lot

Claudia: My bb doesn't really only wan me.. but when he wanna sleeps, he quite choosy at times on who to put him to sleep... since he chose me over the maid last night.. means he prefer me to put him to sleep and the maid & MIL is lower on the preference list. So when I am ard, he will wan me.. when i am not ard... the maid or MIL also ok.
When my bb wanna sleep, he will yawn and/or rub his eyes.. then he will be stone and start to ignore pple. Most imptly, no matter who is carrying him, he sees me, he will put his hands out willingly.
If bb is satisfied from his sleep, he will wake up smiling but if he is not satisifed.. he will wake up crying. So that is how I know whether he is ready to be awake or not. Even if he wake up without crying but keep yawning non stop.. also a sign that he is not ready to be awake.
Many tell tale signs one.
My bb when sleeping.. never burp one.. sleep like pig. But I will still carry him upright for at least 10mins before putting him in the cot.
Sito: Ya lo.. maid who loves kids also a headache for us. But think in another way.. having a maid who love kids is better than to have one who doesn't.

wah, introducing and feeding food to bb is also a skill I need to master. But when can we start to intro bb cup feeding? Around the same time? Think some mummies already bought the Magmag cup for training.
It is really a looong journey.

hey mummies,
can i check when your BBs were abt 3.5mths old, how much milk is he/she drinking?
my BB now drinks 120ml (4oz)...thought of increasing it to 150ml (5oz).
these 2 nights, after his 2-3am feed, he seems so awake, eyes big big look at me...so after feeding him his usual 120ml, i went to make another 30ml...and he drank finished and went to sleep le.
But during the day, he can only drinks 120ml...but manages to finish them, just that he takes a little longer than his nite time feed.

About car seat, weekend going to view the ferrari and the other is call nadia or narnia (Euro brand).
As my HB's elder bro is paying for the seat, and his bro like the ferrari one! Cost a bomb lor ! RSP $359 ! but I want to put my bb in the seat to try try see which one she like before buying.
Burping ah, nite feeding i dont burp bb, as my bb is light sleeper, bring her up cfm eyes big big stare at me. day feed will burp her most of the time.
sleeping habit, my bb pattern is wake up max 2hrs, she cfm KO, but usually 1hr +/- bb will stone stone and yawn yawn and rub her face with her hands or if i carrying her, she rub her face over my chest, shoulder, etc.

junie: my bb is taking 4oz presently (milk + brown rice) still having 1 nite feed, colder days most likely 2 feeds for sure.
I tried increasing to 5oz with n without brown rice, my bb cant finish at all.
extra feeding - not for the past 2 mths, but before that (maybe i didnt know) i got to feed extra almost all nite feeding. else bb dont want to slp too

car seat,
weighs about 8kg. to me is ok coz i've always been my mom's coolie when we go grocery shopping. hehehe. so i'm used to carrying heavy stuff. easy to adjust, instructions are clear.

pacifier: Do you all change the pacifier according to the age? My boy is using the Avent one.. he is now coming to 5mths liao but then he is still using the pacifier for 0-3mths.. he doesn't like the 3-6mths one.. is it ok to continue letting him use the smaller teat pacifier?
