ica: Haha!! It's really hard to stop yourself from buying since all the girl clothings are so adorable. Luckily I have a boy, so not as much to buy. But when I see nice clothing I will still feel like buying for him. Then I keep telling myself he has alot of clothes le. Not enough toys.. so concentrate on seeking for good toys and books. Haha!!

ica: Concert is nice but then me & hubby were so tired that we left halfway. Was fighting a battle with baby the night before so wasn't in the best form to watch an entire concert. Haha!! The beer sold is so expensive.. $10 per can.. and so yucky that hubby drink a little more than half and he threw it away le. Waste money on the beer.
I think it is a norm for our hair to fall off more.
Pregnant women have a heightened level of progesterone and estrogen. When these levels drop suddenly after delivery, this causes their hair to slip into the resting or telegen stage. Once the child has been born, the “resting” hair follicles begin to fall out. Most commonly, hair loss after pregnancy occurs between three and six months after pregnancy.
That's why we are starting to lose more hairs now.

hershey, do you take fenugreek? i find that helps me. my bb also doesn't like to drink from bottle. we've been trying to get her used to it by giving her the bottle once a day. but must admit, sometimes it's just easier to latch her. quite heart breaking to see her cry when we give her the bottle.
Hershey: What I would do if i felt my BM was going down.. is to increase the pumps and decrease the duration of the pumps. As for teats, I believe they are all interchangeable. Can use pigeon's, medela's and Nuk's... should be all also can as the bottles r quite standard.
babycoco, sory may i noe what is fenugreek?? lol~~ I know you all have been discussing this thing... What form is it in?
Jaclyn, very agree.. so heartpain to see them cry while we force them to drink from bottle..
but now my boy is clever.. he nv struggle, nv cry, nv split out the milk.. he just lay down in our arm and stare blank into the air and use his tongue to play with the teat.. hahahah~~

Kat,
i saw it here. err, not quite tuxedo, but close enough
http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/581296/4542355.html?1285766149
babycoco,
according to Avent, every 3 mths but if you feel/see that the teat has become too soft or texture not quite right to the touch, can change oredi
you know what? i just found out that pacifiers need to be changed every 4 wks. adoi! my baby has been sucking on hers since birth and i happily thot that it could last for 3 mths. so i quickly change and today she's a bit cranky - she misses her old friend
lasery,
you wouldn't want that. just tie up your hair for the time being. thick is nice

babycoco: I using avent teats and now i'm using teat no.2. My girl is 9 weeks. According to avent, teat 2 can use up to 3 months. 
But I plan to change to teat 3 soon as I find my girl sucking very hard at the teat already.
Hersey: Same! I feel that my girl also dun seems to enjoy avent teat!!! I had a Pigeon bottle as a gift and I used it once and she seems to enjoy it more, so now I will use that 1 and only Pigeon bottle most of the time. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I planning to get another Pigeon bottle or should I just get a Pigeon teat? Pigeon teats also got different sizes one right?
Jaclyn: Is it true that most teat can fit with avent? I tried, it sort of can fit but a tiny bit loose loose. I scare milk will leak out when bb feeding.

Pacifier: Really? I never know need to change every 4 weeks lei.. I just happily using it. I thought as long as the teat not spoil and I do sterilise it then no need to change. I was still thinking wait till my boy bigger like 4 to 5 mths then change the pacifer to a bigger one cause now I am using the 0-3mths one.
Sito: My baby is back to normal after my FIL "complain" to me in the morning. I think he heard la and scared mummy at night come and scold him so he afternoon very good boy. Haha!!

valerie: My girl also always rub her eyes, hence i will make sure her names are short!
I dun let her wear mittens for quite some times already. Because I heard at this age (9 weeks old) they will start to learn how to grab things. So if wear mittens, it will delay their learning.

mittens
I stopped letting my boy wear mittens since he was like 3 weeks old.. haha save me some washing too
Now he is learning to grab the dangling toys before his eyes... recently he developed this habit of putting his fist in front of him and chat to it! Haha, hilarious to watch him talk to his fist [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
I'm quite lazy.. not been letting him do more tummy time.. so he still can't lift up his head well.. he's going to be 12wks old this Saturday... Well, guess his head is heavy coz he has a big head.. His gor gor's head even bigger thus he could only lift up his head ard 3mth plus.
I salute mothers who could go out with a toddler and a baby in pram and go onto the MRT trains.. I did it today with the help of my mil.. totally not easy! We had fun but really beat. It was only a 4-hour 'excursion' for us..
Changing of teats
I change every 3 mths.. for latex, I change monthly

Latex teat (NUK) : How do you all steriize? I tried using Avent steam sterilize, tried using sterilizing tablets both caused the teat to change colour after few days, so gave up now i dun sterilize, just was with warm soapy water but i realise the colour also change! Is it normal??
Ann : got to know from a dentist friend that bb usually show sign of teething btw 4 to 7 mths .. Perhaps ur bb is an early bloomer .. To distinguish " white spot" due to teething or other conditions ( mainly oral candidiasis - very common with bb ) there r 2 main factors to consider :
1. Location - first teething seen in lower front teeth
2. The ability to remove white spot with gauze- can't do so if teething

NUK TEAT
Latex teats are softer, more resemblance to our nipple texture. Silicon is slighter firmer. Latex teats CANNOT be in the steriliser (dry heat), will spoil with rubber burning smell...can sterilise in boiling water for a few mins.
Depends on your BB, my BB prefer silicon than to latex...

Hershey: I am using the NUK teat for wide neck bottle with Avent bottle. I think you should try NUK teats since you have been latching all these while as NUK teat is specially shaped such that baby will suck similar to the way he latch. Fenugreek is a kinda herb which is used as health supplement. It helps to increase milk supply. Commonly sold in places like GNC & Nature’s Farm but it would be cheaper to get it through BP. I get my supplies from http://lovegreeneumma.blogspot.com/ You can also go to Sheng Siong to buy fenugreek seed and boil with water to drink. I heard it’s only 60cents for 1 packet of fenugreek seed and can boil a few times.
Kat: this website has some tuxedo romper for bb but more for 12-18months. I remember seeing tuxedo rompers from other websites but also for bb when they are at least 1 yr old so I nvr buy.

Valerie: oh redhill is a familiar area to me. I stayed there when I was a kid and now I work in the area and my PIL stay there too. Maybe can meet up in future =)
Phy: thanks for sharing that rubbing eyes is a sign that bb is tired. Felt so enlightened. =) But my boy sometime even tired also don’t want to sleep, just wanna play.
Kepsis: I don’t think there is any that is compatiable with freestyle. Even medela’s pump & save is compatiable with all medela’s pump except freestyle.

Hershey: Domperidone is also another alternative to boost milk supply. Can either get from gynae or GP.

Teats:
I tried Pigeon wide neck teat with avent bottle and it fit and doesn't leak!
So if i were to get a NUK teat, and I want to sterilize in my avent sterilizer, I will need to get the latex one?

Kepsis,
Baby can't read yet but you can read to your baby. i bought books coz i wanted to start a bedtime routine for my baby. it's very rewarding every time your baby looks at you and treat you like you're her best friend in the world and you have all her attention. try it and you'll know what i mean. it's a very nice feeling [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Sito,
initially i was also like you, no confidence and only watch when my mom bathed her. dun be afraid - just remember to keep calm. the 1st time i did it, i was so afraid she'd slip thru. now your baby should be easier to handle, so try lah. can ask your hubby to help you support her for your 1st time? very fun to watch, and you'll also get to know what your baby will like or dislike [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] like my baby, when we shampoo her hair, she'll move her head left and right coz she wants to make sure that we dun miss out any part! oh, we wear an apron when bathing my baby - dun want our clothes to get wet. hahaha!

Sito: I agreed with ica. You should try bathing your baby. It is a joy that you would not want to miss. When I start bathing my baby, he was screaming like hell. Not that I am hurting him but he just dun like to be bath.. but his scream didn't put me off. I just continue to try and try.. till now I know what he like when he bathe. Now bathing to him is an enjoyment, everytime you see him smile when bathing, it feels like a big achievement.
Irene: My baby when tired also keep rubbing his eyes one and ears too. I think most babies are like that when they tired.

Ica, seems ok, didn't hear any complaints from my sil. Can request for free samples from huggies. What books do you buy for your bb? I think it's a great idea to read to our bb.
Eliss, we called our pd when our bb kept sneezing, coughing. She said if no fever, bb still feeding & sleeping as per normal, no need to bring her in. Luckily after 2 days her sneezing, coughing stopped.
