Jane & dolly, my boi always choose good time to ask me to carry him, during pumping!!! Now I outsmart him, before I start pump I will bring him n place him beside me. When he cries, I will place him on my lap n shake a bit....

Hi Val,

You can view some of the compiled pictures of the buffet which I posted in my facebook for your reference.

Water retention:-
I also didn't take water thru out my confinement till now except for 1 glass taken at hospital when taking medi..
Its said will cause water retention.. Till now without water in-take, my urine very yellowish.. But its good to noe that lesser water inside body..
I got swollen foot lyk pig leg during 1week after discharge due to excess walking.. Older folks says its caused by the water 'flowing' down to the leg when u didn't have enuff bed rest.. Just lyk during pregnancy, we lift our legs up to prevent swelling..
After I knew it, I was fully bed rest & didn't walk here & there in the house and my foot swelling got better 2days later..

Then comes morning see an angelic face then I feel guilty abt feeling frustrated the night before...hai....
bubble: Ya side sleeping helps...wa bb can turn himself? Haa...cool! I am too worried that he might turn to face down then that is dangerous. But side sleeping really reduces the 'shock'....he lie on his back always get shock easily even with the 'chao chao' on his chest.

Jane,
My preemie also gets startled while sleeping sometimes. Swaddling really helps her sleep soundly. I also put the beanie bag on her legs so the weight will hold her legs down, otherwise legs in the air and startled again!
The crying for no apparent reason could be due to gas. When you hold her, maybe the position is more comfy to get rid of the gas that's why she wants to be carried when crying. Try burping her more and keeping her upright for 10 min after each feed. Seems to work for my baby.

Split, he cannot talk like this..this call biased employment , can kena legal action...so how now? Can hold aws so long? Hmm..can talk to ur hr? Cos if I not wrong, portion of ur was goes into cpf n if they nvr contribute to cpf , then it is an offence... U know what I mean? Can use this as an reason to 'wake' up their idea..I did the same to my previous company as they hold back my pay for 1 mth...till I report them to cpf

Re:- baby crying
I don't think is premmie den gt tis prob ba.. All babies cry, nv cry = nt call baby liao..
To me, I always kip telling myself these - all babies cry & they still 'bu dong shi', in order to cool myself down & not getting frustrated when my boy cry for no reason..
Nowadays babies very smart, u put them down they noe de.. My boy don't like to lie inside playpen & also loves cuddle..
I hug, my grandma hug, my dad hug.. All hug till arms sore liao.. My arms gonna break soon when my boy only 4kg++ now..and its only gg full mth..
So imma considering getting a baby carrier.. Once he turns 1mth old I can use it on him when he's more stable on neck..
Carrying almost everytime he cry is really tiring..
I have tried methods lyk leTting him cry his hearts out inside playpen.. End up kanna scold by my grandma.. Scold me- ask me carry him up & pat !!
Initially they tell me - cannot let him use to carrying, if not in future very 'sticky', no carry cannot den 'cham' lo.. Den I abide & tried not carry & wanna train him to 'fall aslp' by himself awake..
But now they say 'carry him la! How could u let him cry & let him 'eat air' into his stomach?!!
CONTRADICTING LAH!!
So I made up my mind: carry!
Cos baby still 'du dong shi', but for now best is do all my very best to stop him from crying cos baby 'eat air'/kip cry no good for them.. Train can slowly train.. They still infants, aren't they??
Every decision have to take time to establish.. Just lyk milk supply.. We start off with a few drops to more ml(s).. Slowly loh..

Wow, glad to know that I m not alone.. My girl needs to be carried all the time too; I literally hold/carry her for 24h n she has to slp on top of me if both of us need a gd slp.
She'll cry once I put her down, n mil is unhappy that I keep on carrying bb as she said the bb will b "spoilt" n v used to my smell, making it tough for her to take over after my ML, I wonder how true is this?

Hello mummies!
Actually, when they are below 3 months, bbs will cry for a reason. And if you meet their needs when they cry, they are more secure because they know that you are predictable and reliable. So, dun bother with those pple who tell you not to carry coz you'll "spoil" the bb. There's no such thing ok?

Auroa: ur baby so good, sleep so long! My Bb 1 month liao, still wakes up quite frequently.
Kay: ok, u made many mummies eyes green! No tummy so more! I have the love handlers, and cupcake! Everywhere is meat!
Split: Wah! U are still in the 20+ inch range! Not bad le! I dare nit buy much pants too, hips swaying~
Angie: u're so hardworking! U do sit ups? How many? I should start doing. But dun like to sweat when I'm doing it..
I din opt for massage too. No time when my 3 kids around.. I din do for my #1 & #2 too. Sigh. I hope I made the right decision.. In fact, I was BFing during my #2, but din lose Mich weight, in fact, it's after I breastfeed, I diet, no dinner than lose about further 7-9kg.. Sigh..
Yay! Gathering sounds fun. Let the babies gather! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Angie: I have both the pupsik pouch n the ring slings and I find that pupsik is better for older babies cuz you can't adjust the length of the sling, ESP if u wanna bf in a sling. For the moment I m using the ring sling for my 4 wk old, but will use pupsik to carry my 17 mo cuz it's more secure n the fabric wouldn't loosen by the weight of the bb like a ring sling..
Re: crying
My bb is considerably easier to manage than my #1 who was a high need cum colic, but I still feel v frustrated when she keeps on crying after being fed changed burped carried.. Last night she literally woke up every hr to b fed n I lost my temper at her cuz I was soooo tired (and she woke me up frm my cosmetics shopping dream).. I feel like a bad mum but I can't point to the cause of the outburst [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
Re: breastfeeding
I have been exclusively bf-ing my bb by mainly latching, but recently intro bottles cuz to transition her to my post-ML stage.. Dunno is it cuz of bottles that she's impatient to suck at my breasts when e flow is slow.. Breast compressions dun really help either, and advice kind mummies?
Sometimes I feel like giving up cuz bf-ing is so time consuming n I dun have time for my #1 but I have gotten this far n I dun wish to stop juz like that..
