yes, tiring but happy when i carry baby. i believe so for all mummies so i guess we have to jia you and endure. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
very happy its Friday again. Can't wait to spend time with baby tomorrow and Sunday. Precious 2 days. On such days, at times, i carry him all the time and my hubby scold me say bad habit. but weekdays i hardly get to carry him in the day time as we are separated!
Nanny,
I am facing problems fetching bb fr ifc before 7pm. everyday i rush and at times i actually run to the mrt. if i have to work late abit, i will be in trouble. does any body know how much is the market rate for a nanny? i want to see if can afford because no subsidy from government. sigh.
does government give any subsidy to care givers of baby eg grandparent?

pofy: i dun think government give subsidy, the only thing is the tax rebate for care givers for grandparents.
Started working for 2 mths already, yes is very tiring, esp at night, i still wake up to do feeding bt it is worth it cause that is the only time, mi n her time only.

rejoy28,
yes, when i latch him i feel super at peace, very close. nobody, just me and him. at times i get jealous when my mil carry him during the weekend visit. hahaha. terrible of me.
white ricce cereal
i saw the white rice cereal mummies are mentioning, organix brand? its selling at a store in great world city basement. there is a organic food store. they sell many other brands too but prices quite steep. the organix white rice cereal is selling at $8.80 if any mummies are keen. Not sure what is the selling price in cold storage. i happen to poss by while on office errand so pop in for a quick price check so update here for all mummies!
i most likely will buy the nestle one. there is a bundle sale now for 2 tins. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi MnM and pofy, I und ur feelings too. Sometimes weekend my mil will carry my bb and feed her when she's already the main caregiver. But I always try myself not to have this mentality. She's after all bb's grandparent.
Now I don't have time alone with my husband and I can't get myself to sacrifice weekend time with baby. Like so imbalance.
CEREAL
I think the pd wants me to give bb start adding a little cereal first to let them get used and also more nutrients.
I got the Organix whole grain cereal from Agape Babies. Cheaper. Haven't reach me yet. Will try it out and update all of you. If ur bb is more to the heaty side then don't give brown rice first I feel.

Hi mummies. It's been awhile I last logged In. I can totally understand the jealousy. I'm taking care if my baby girl full time n will do so for this entire year. Sometimes my mum just take my daughter from me. I hate it too.
Talking abt latching yes I will super miss it when I hb no more breastmilk next time. It has become a bond between us.
Starting in cereal. Pd says can start at 5 mths. Brochures n other info I read says start only at 6 mths. So very confused.

Hi mummies
I heard there is another cereal brand happybellies which looks pretty good too. Considering that and Organix.
I'm back at work already and my MIL is helping me to look after the baby. She dotes on her alot but sometimes I find our styles of looking after the child can be so different. But no choice...coz we still have to work

There are quite a number of brands actually then in the end I chose Organix as its whole grain. Supposedly to be more nutritious than white rice but yet not heaty as compared to brown rice. And it's gluten free.
But I do not know if it can be easily digested so got to try it out. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Morning mummies!
Just ended my 2nd week bk from work. Very tired as need to wake up to bf but overall still ok.
My milk supply is quite irregular. I can have 80ml in the morning n 300ml during lunch time.Or sometimes night time 80ml.Wonder if its ok to have inconstant supply?
Rash
My bb started with "pimple" on his cheeks.it will come n go.Check with pd,he say it's normal not anything to be worried.but now my bb has rash behind his ears to his neck.This morning saw on his chest n stomach n back has patches of rash too. My mum say it's heat rash cum my bb has got sensitive skin n we always let bb sleep air con so he get hot easily when not in air con. We applied calamine lotion n it subsides a bit but still there?Should I bring bb to see doc?

I bought both happy bellies and healthy times brown rice cereal but will only give my girl after 5 months. Happy bellies is sweet but healthy times is unsweetened - better to be added to milk if necessary.
When are you mummies planning to give purées ? What food would be good to start with?

Hi mummies! Those whose babies are on full bm, when do u plan to start breastfeeding? I will be introducing solids at 6 months and maybe I will wean off completely at 9 months.
Mummies who have already weaned off completely, did you take any medicine to stop milk production? Or, u did it naturally?

Forever 81,
It's best to let PD see your bb. From what you described, by appears or have sensitive skin. My baby was like that too, his head And face will turn red after breast feeding. Rashes develop around face area and neck on and off. My PD says my boy has sensitive skin, so was prescribed with special body wash and body lotion. CB cream may not be the correct lotion.
You can choose to tell you PD at the next visit and seek his advice before you introduce solids.

Librabb,
Thanks. Nanny more expensive than IFC. expected too since its one to one. sigh. my hubby sometimes work shift so its tough for him to carry. and at times i find he perspire alot and very dirty so i worry he carry bb before he baths. he does not work in office environment like me. sigh.
pd told me to start cereal only after 6 months. so i will follow. i ask him white rice or brown rice he say brown rice lah. i was like i tot heaty? then he say that is not westernized woh.... hmmmm. in any case, i already bought the white rice and the brown rice so i will just let him eat the white rice first.

i tried but he cannot.... he will fall flat on his face or fall side ways. neck also like not very strong.
when can they sit up by themselves?
i also just check, no teeth yet. the baby gal at my ifc alrady has 2 at the bottom. very cute actually. hahaha

Hi pofy I think diff pd different but he's the westernized type so he won't believe in heaty, etc
My baby can't sit up too. Need pillow to support.
My pd also adv me not to let bb "stand" as their legs cannot support their body weight yet.
My whole grain cereal is here ill start this sat. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
TEETH
Every baby is unique I guess so the other bb might grow fast while ours slower. But I feel it's fine la. They are still so adorable. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Hi mummies,
Long time no comment in here le. How's everyone doing?
I'm bringing bb for jab this thurs, so I'll see what the doc say abt when to start feeding solid food. But coz i'm going to a polyclinic, I dun think the doc/nurses there will say much. I'm more worried abt bb getting vaccine fever again.
Teething
My bb has 2 lower teeth le and she can sit up well. She can also sit by herself without support for a few sec. V fun to play with her now. She can flip le but til date only my maid n mum saw. She refuse to flip when I'm ard. She much prefer to stand!
