Yes! Stay at home also can spend $$... Online shopping gives me a chance to do something else instead just of staying at home and looking after baby. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
MVH,
Last time my boy also poo poo alot of times and all a bit a bit... It comes out with the fart. LIke what QQ said, its due to alot of wind. Now my boy don't have so much wind, he stopped poo-ing all these bit bit poo.

penguin,
my boy used to poo almost every feed. (bit bit)
after that, now close to 7wks old bah, he poos 4-5 times a day, big one sometimes. quite a lot leh. mayb now tummy bigger liao, the intestines can hold more poos.
ann, congested nose i tot it is normal cause milk tend to flow into their nose de. then become a bit phelgmy and make them congested. some.times vomit milk also got a bit of sticky phelgm.
this problem will go away after 6 months.
my letdown is too fast, my boy also kena everytime and then nose sounds congested.
i use cotton wools to clean a bit, daily, then ok le. dun need to suck out ba, unless the amount is really a lot.

Ann: you have any other websites that u order stuffs from.. omg i've revert to my old self.. love to spend money online..
nose congestion
the pd told me can use cotton bud to dig out from my boy's nose le.. today he commented my boy so dirty.. the nose, cause we don't dare to dig out, so everytime use rolled wet cotton wools and ends up failing to dig out anything..

penguin, 3 times a day ok la. not bad not bad.
4kg also ok, good weight bah. what was the birth weight? as long as gaining about 200g per wk at least can le.
i dun use cotton bud, i use cotton wool, wet it then roll into an elongated shape then roll roll inside. sometimes pi sai will come out, sometimes just push slightly further in. nevermind de, when he sneeze then it will come out and i can easily clean it then.

penguin, oh no... I restrict myself to this forum websites.... either the bulk purchases or sprees... Can't imagine if I open myself to other websites... sure go crazy buying things! 
QQ, i think my boy was sick so his nose kena blocked.. cos he have difficulty drinking cos cannot breathe... he had to unlatch to breathe thru his mouth and then latch again. Now he's better but I can still hear like got mucus inside his nose so I wanted to use the Pigeon cleaner to suck out.

Ann - my boy was the same as urs (nose blocked, can't breathe, hard to latch bcos ve to breathe thru mouth), i thought he was sick too, but pd said its normal. so I guess he just ve too much mucus in his nose. I noticed when he vomit, quite alot of greenish phelgm or mucus came out too, so may be good thing to vomit to help clear the congestion. Now sometimes he's blocked sometimes no.
MVH - how many wks is ur baby? Its normal for breastfed babies to poo many times in a day. My 2 kids poo after every feed in the 1st mth. It will be lesser by the 3rd mth. My 2nd boy also abit abit (but only in the 1st 2wks), now getting more (qty). For the nappy rash now, desitin cream can help to treat the rash too (apart from prevention), so i usually apply more when there's a rash. also, try to use nappy cloth instead of diapers for now, bcos cloth allow for airing for the bum area, so can b less painful for ur baby.. can recover faster also. And r u using wet cottonballs to cleanup baby's bum or wet tissue? cottonballs is more gentle to the skin.
CL - EBM can only stay in room temperature for abt 2-4hrs. if u intent to keep longer, u need to refrigerate them either in freezer or normal fridge. When u want to use them (those in fridge or freezer) to feed ur baby, u can either use the warmer to warm up ur milk or use the traditional method of using hot water in cup and soak ur ebm bottle in it until its warm enuf to feed (but the warmer works superfast as compared to the cup). Also bear in mind, when u warm up the milk, u need to shake the bottle and test again whether is it really warm enuf (sometimes its only the bottle is warm up but not the milk yet). cold milk can cause tummy upset. "Just expressed milk" doesn't need any warming up bcos its of ur body temperature.
Nightfeeds:
if baby doesn't wake up, i think its ok, some babies actually sleep through the night (lucky parents!!). btw, i don't pump my milk at night, i latch on when baby wants,bcos i too lazy to go n get the milk fr fridge and ve to spend a few min to warm up the milk, with the baby crying so loud, makes me very tensed up so i rather just latch on and sleep with him (i bf using lying down position). when he is asleep for abt 20-30min, i put him back in his bed.
SAHM:
I stopped work since my #1 was 4mths old (abt 2yrs+ liao). Loved every moment of it bcos I get to see my boy grow up. every precious moment fr learning how to play with his pillows to taking his first crawl, step, word etc). My #1 is very attached to me, i even bf him for 28mths (bcos i am SAHM, it was easy to bf him for so long). BUt of course, i too miss the days when I can wear pretty clothes, high heels and the CASH! But i think if i go back to work, i will miss my kids even more than miss going back to work. However, i still go out once awhile to meetup with my friends. If hubby can babysit, i go out alone, if nobody helps, i bring baby along.

Mamyvelle - the nissen waist nipper, there's a similar one from Maidenform. they ve 2 designs, one is with brief (blush! also ve but very exp). I bought the one with brief b4.
MVH,
Tried pressing my nipple whilw nursing and it does helps. Thanks.
cyn,
I'm using brestfriend pillow while nuring so cannot collect the leakage using bottle. Thought of pumping out be4 feed but her timing are just so irregular. Afraid there's not enough milk for her after pump.
Re: nails
Just bought a Pigeon nail cutter from NTUC. Will try to cut them next week. But my hb's colleague commented that it's too early to trim their nails now. Have to wait till they are 1 mth old.
I was so happy that I'm left with 1 wk for my confinement but just got to know that my mil wants me to continue to take comfinement food for 40 days. Sian half. And now I have craving for Filet-O-Fish. Can I have MAC during confinement? I miss the fries too....

xuan - i ate fillet o fish n fries during confinement! Actually both my mum n CL say as long as wat u eat isn't "tu" like prawn, crab etc, or "liang" like cold drinks, coconut etc, its ok.
Mamyvelle - d one fr maidenform also has those without brief, there's 2 design. My one has brief but it has hooks at the bottom also for ease of going to toilet, no need to unhook on d waist area. I prefer with brief bcos i find those without tend to slip up, doesn't stay put (mayb my tummy too big! Ha ha!) n i think its cheaper than wacoal, i bought online, sometimes got 40% off.

Jascmy: i don look at weight le.. Now everyday i measure my waist and hips[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] i don measure my thighs and weight cuz they increase until i super demoralized decided not to measure anymore[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] however, everyday i take out my pre pregnancy jeans and pants to try.. So far only managed to fit in one jeans one pants but super tight type.. A few shorts which used to be very loose last time got stuck at my thighs.. Quite sad at how to lose e flabs..
Cyn, my gal already 5weeks+ leh.. Still every day poo a bit.. Most frustrating thing is she cries out loud whenever I try to clean her bottom.. Then change a new diaper, poo a bit again.. Wanna be quick Liao still poo a bit n need to reclean again.. I really dread cleaning her poo.. I did apply cream, I use destin n sometimes smith n nephew.. Improving but slow lor.. I guess her little poo poo irritates her skin..
I had filet-o-fish, apple pie and cinnamon melts for lunch. So satisfying.
Re: Bb's weight and intake
I didnt monitor her weight as I don't have a weighing scale at home. Will ask hb to get one soon.
I latch her on so not sure what's the amt that she take. I thought of deducting the amt of ebm after feed from the full breast but I never had the chance to express my fully engorge breast. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
MVH,
My ger also cry whenever we change her diaper. I'm using avent bottom balm to prevent nappy rash. I remembered during the antenatal class, mrs wong said that nappy rash cream is to treat. If you use it right in the beginning, it won't be effective when the rash appear. Sort of like, there's a resistance to the rash cream le.

Had a baby shower for my boy yesterday night at ECP chalet. so many things to bring to bring bb out. esp the EBM part is troublesome. I got catering for 40 pax from Four seasons. the food are not bad.
Huffpuff, Jiayou jiayou. I am getting better too. Have to keep talking to baby in a calm tone to calm him down as he cries... plus all techniques pick up from mummies here too.
Sunflower, u mean to get from Tan Leng Leng if urgent?
Vaccination : I think going to PD for vaccination may be better since PD can check on baby but is more ex than going poly and GP.
Ann, I will definitely miss the extra cash if i decide to be a SAHM. Maybe I will wait till baby is 18 mths and place him with childcare before finding a job. How old is ur #1? no plans to place with childcare?
CYN. wow 28mths of BF, envy envy. would love to see every milestones of bb's development.
