Finish pumping n now waiting for Bb next feed around 3am.
Split: good to know your new maid is so hardworking. Hope she stays that way. If she makes effort to saying n care for ur kids they will grow to accept her over time....
Dolly: same here. Her work is ok but I have to close one eye at times or until I buey than then tell her off. Mine is ex sgp so quite smart n bold so I hv to be firm to prevent her climb over my head. I ignored her when she gives me black face. Hire help also need to put up with their mood swings. Haiz.
Apple: take your pick now u are swamped w choices [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Jenny: patz patz. My Bb was quite irritable past few days due to sore from his mouth ulcer. Eventually I succumbed to having an yaolan even I am not in favor. It helped to ease his crying. Before that he cries no matter what we tried. My hb faced bb after work for that few hours also can't take it so he went ahead to fix up the yaolan. Maybe u can try it too. We got the automatic rocker so no need manual.

Angie: good to know your Bb is well n back at home. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Yes my Bb seemed to recognise place n people. Yours also kept looking at the ceiling n surrounding too?
Arisz: my hb also travels alot n have to take evening calls at home. He will help out whenever he could. U got 3 kids so all the more squeezed for time. My dd1 is the cannot sit still type. I never get to enjoy my meal with him around. Normally either wolf down my meal or eat cold food.
Bbpooh: hope u strike '4d' with ur maid hunt.
Time for Bb feed but he's still sleeping. I will go back to sleep too..

Ello everyone!
Here is so active! But i got no time to sit in front of PC to type comments in the day... Haiz...
Re: Maid
Sometimes find clever one, you got headache, find not too clever one, also headache... Worse than striking toto or 4d.
Re: Care of 2 kids
My hb will help care for #1 when he's back. The good thing is that my #1 is quite ok with mealtimes. Only thing is having to drag her to bathe. I will bring my maid out with me if i need to go out with the 2 kids and as long as it's a place with food, she's fine.

Littlefly - Same here, no choice use the yao lan as my bb just keep crying. I did not rock her initally but now have to.. Sometimes you just give in so that she will stop crying as it is not good for bb. Adding on the fact that we are tired already.
Yesterday my girl cried for nearly an hour non-stop. WHole face become red and screaming loudly. THought she got fever as she went for her 6 in 1 jab. Rub ru yi on her tummy, put her in yao lan also no use.
Sometimes really cannot manage my bb on my own ! Will feel so demoralised like I am a bad mummy because I cannot pacify her.

@deon: same.. feel so useless whenever i try all sorts of way and bb still crying.
Little Fly: I also got him a yao lan. Actually I'm super duper against the idea of it but he fussed a lot at night and my husband have to entertain him and go to work the next day without sleeping. So I let him use it but not always. Dun wan him to get used to it. He's the kind who likes to try new stuff. First mth I gave him rocking bed and pacifier. Second mth he doesn't want them both. He wants to be carried. Now going into third mth he doesn't even want to be carried.
Deon: Anyone else to help u? Sometimes maybe just put her down for a few min then u go and wash ur face and carry her. Maybe will feel better. I felt that yao lan got no use for pacifying baby. Only if they abit drowsy then u put baby in there and shake until they sleep. I also felt that I cun manage on my own. Wanted to find a part time nanny but my mum says nobody is willing to take care of my baby coz he's forever crying.

Sunflower & Jenny - We need to make ourselves feel better.
Jenny - My mum said the exact same thing to me, will have difficulty getting someone else to look after bb. So far yao lan can still works on her even if she is not throwing tantrums. Can leave her in yao lan and rock her. But if she is angry, nothing will work. She will keep crying till she is tired then stop lor.
Now she wants to sleep in yao lan and not her cot. I am at my wit ends trying to get her to sleep in her cot.
I am trying to get a maid but so far nothing yet.
Spilt - Can recommend your agency to me seem like your maid quite good leh.

Deon, Jenny: You are not alone. I’m a 2nd time mummy but I still feel I suck at handling babies. It’s been a week and the ulcer still has not healed and refuses to latch on. Morning again cried 1hr non-stop. Finished feeding, no poo, diaper clean, no wind in stomach. Cries and cries even when carried and in yaolan. I carry him until my both arms very ‘suan’.
Precious: you indeed super mummy! Are you SAHM?
Cloud: Look around for other jobs with better hours/pay then jump ship?
Dolly: I think the longer the maid been with the household, the bolder they get. Then the requests and patterns will show up. I also regret being too easy-going initially, now hard to change.

Me too. Feel so lousy that I cant even take care of a baby what can I do [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] My baby is around 7 weeks plus & kept crying till his face broke out in red patches of rash. He got reflux, colic & sensitive nose.
Sometimes when I see other mummies happily taking care of their babies make me feel so lousy and sad. Its like I dont love my baby enough cause I keep having the feeling of running away from my baby [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] whenever my husband goes to work I will feel fear creeping up as I have no confident taking care of a fussy crying baby. haizzz...

it is not all laughters and joy.. There r many times we hv to shout n cane e elder kids aso.. Esp my hb, he doesn't hv much patience actually...Hehhe

Lil' fly & ash, though we are nice to her but i'm still firm with my principle. once she's make any mistake, i'll still tell her off. heard from my aunt that she ever mentioned she's still quite afraid of my mum & myself coz we are quite fierce to her. so far so good, she has yet really climb up to our head.. we also hope that she'll remain this way after she come back from her home leave, keep finger crossed!

Dear Jenny, Little Fly, Deon and Nicole, my heart goes out to all of you as I went through that before. I remember feeling so frustrated with my colicky firstborn that I screamed at her to stop crying. Fussy babies take up so much of our energies yet we have to face criticisms frm others as if we can't parent our babies well. It's not as if we chose difficult babies. I remember sniggering at the term "joy of being a parent" as there was minimal joy juggling with e crying baby and facing a black-faced mil the whole day. But I tell myself - every day that passes brings me closer to the day my fussy baby will stop being fussy, and it happened arnd 4-5mths.
Now I am handling my refuse-to-slp, refuse-to-drink bottles #2 and I feel very exhausted too. Let's hope that this tough phase will zoom past soon!! Jiayou!!

mommies who worry abt babies dun poop. i juz saw this on Dumex website and rem'ber a colig ever told me b4 too.
"understand that when a new baby dun poop for few days, parents get worry.
this is what i do, treat by a family doctor.
add half a teaspoon of sugar to his milk in the morning feed. within few hrs, my baby poops.
it has work many times"

sylvia: exactly lik wat u said. I really envy those with babies who are so easy to take care and sleep through most of the time. There was once I complained on my FB and one stupid person whom I dunno and added for the sake of playing games called me a bitch and told me to put my baby up for adoption and send him away. This person definitely has nv faced a fussy baby at all and I'm actually praying that this person will get the fussiest baby on earth so that he will regret making that statement. And of course I del him away since I dun even no him at all.
I know its not good to complain about my baby but I just wanted some place to vend and voice out instead of keeping everything to myself... But you are extremely brave to have #2. Even if I intended to have more than one, this one will scare and tell me not to.
Anyway I went to Dr Chan this noon and baby was dignosed with flu and reflux prob. Was given some sprays and also asked to add AR to his powder. H opefully after this, my baby will be much easier to take care of.

Jenny wat is AR?
U may wanna give gripe water too it really helps colic n reflux bbs. I am giving 1ml twice a day now. Good tat u found out wat wasthe problem. He will be much better after thd medication. Suspect it was the discomfort tat caused him to be so fussy n cry non stop.

starfruit: AR is anti reflux. The doc told us to substitute one scoop of normal powder to this. The cold sprays seemed to work. Now baby playing with himself. Haven't seen this for days already. Really hope after this he can always play with himself and stop crying, then our lifes will be better. But now also scare, so late liao his eyes still so widely opened, means later when put him on his bed he will cry and refuse to sleep.
Deon: Yup, hope our babies will be alright really soon. Hopefully our next posts will be that our baby is really good!

Mudppie: ya thanks.. I saw e event n marked as attending.. Hopefully I wont b late.. Any idea which level is it? Hehe.. Not so familiar wif vivo
Ash, mudpie- I read in the babies guide by pigeon that to mm bb poo - dab some bb oil to a cotton bud and put it to their ass... It will help them poo. But if bb dun poo for 2days, it's ok.
Deon-- u are not alone. I too hv a fussy bb from 5plus afternn onwards. I just fuss with him and get scolded by him till now then hv some time to come into this thread. He has no colic or reflux. Just plain fussy. I guess. Everyday I keep praying for this to stop.
And everyday his feeds will take 1hr each time. He has7-8 feeds a day, means outa 24 hrs, I spend 8 hrsvfeeding him. That's 1/3 of my day!!!!
Hannah- thanks for today's gathering. Also showing me how to pouch!! After today, I feel abit more confident going out with bb alone in my pupsik. But it's actually quite hot pouching in a hot weather like today. Haha
