penguin: thanks for letting me know wat's KOI. i so "Suah-ku", i usually jus buy bubble tea fr any shop (didn't see the shopname)
POwder: I use for my #1 n #2. initially CL didn't want to use on #2 but then he got heat rash, so i told her to use the medicated ones on the rash area (it works!) and then apply normal ones on the folds of his hand and leg to avoid heat rash again. i follow traditional way.. when we were babies, my mum use on us lei. but avoid the face la (esp nose n mouth).
Colic: I thought Colic drop and gripe water is the same (except diff brand)? tat's wat my pd told me. btw, i'll b giving my baby Rotafene which is probiotics (its 5drops a day), supposed to be good for the tummy digestive sys and also gd for preventing colic.
xuan- ur house got nursing area/rm for us?
will need to latch on when baby cry for milk lei. or else ve to use nursing cover. i try to go but will call first b4 i go, also my 3 yr old #1 and maid will tag along too (nobody at home to supervise them).
sleeping position: I let my baby sleep on tummy during the day (only if i'm near him so can check on his breathing), night time he sleep on the side with beanie on his body and 2 bolsters on the 2 side. sometimes if he refuse to sleep in his playpen, i will ve to carry him and let him sleep on my bed with me. if still cannot, i will let him sleep on MY chest or shlder or tummy. i ve electric sarong but still hesitating to take out to use, don't want him to get used to it if possible and also house too many things, no space liao to put lei. But most of the time, sarong will do the trick (it work for my #1 when small)
Baby gals- i also want GAL lei! but dunno can afford #3 or not and also worry wat if again ah-boy??! *faint*.. but my sis told me "luckily u ve boy again this time, or else u will ve to move house liao!!" bcos my house already full of my son toys, clothes etc! if gal, will ve to buy gal toys, clothes, dresses, cutie stuff etc! n gals tend to buy more!!! ;S

2 days ago, i tried to bottle feed baby with fm, he cry for 20min, kept pushin out, till v hungry then he suckle n drank abt 80ml, follow by my bm. but last nite, he cry n cry still don't want to drink and finally drank only abt 50ml then i forgot to burp him and let him latch on bcos he was crying so loudly with so much tears (like WHY-MUMMY-DON'T-GIVE-ME-HER-MILK??!!), then he merlion so MUCH! then next feed after 3hrs, i latchon, he was happily suckling and midway merlion BIG time! so pitiful! think ve to stop trying for awhile, so heartache!
btw, how do u mummies keep ur milk bottles? air-dry first or wipe dry with tissue/cloth after sterilising? if i don't dry them and just keep them in containers (i got a few excess so not all are used everyday), is it ok? and also i notice the NUK latex teat will change color and smell too.. i ve just bought 1 NUK and ve wash n sterilise (but didn't dry it) and kept it, jus now i open the bottle, the teat smelly lei.. haven't even let baby use it.
