Just felt like ranting..no doubt it's been great having my mum tc of bb for me during this one mth confinement period, I can't help but feel frustrated also. Sometimes she tells me how tired she is when she is up to feed bb at night..I can't help but feel guilty. Hubs works long hours and is out for work by 6am and is back sometimes 5 - 7pm. He tries to help out with bb when he is home but he is usually so tired he knocks out by 10pm. My mum thinks he doesn't help and keeps saying that aft one mth I will suffer.. making me feel worse. Haiz. Felt so sad and cried to sleep last night.

I mean no offense to your mum, but I feel it is a bad thing when another family member (even a parent/elder) comes in between a husband and wife relationship and says negative things. It is frankly, none of her business, she is not the one in the marriage, you are ! I myself suffer a great deal from the imaginary competition that my mum sets up with my MIL, so I hate family politics. Please don't let the things an "outsider" outside your marriage say affect your mood. It is already hard enough being a mum to a NB; you don't need to hear negative things about your marriage or hubby that are probably untrue anyway! You know your hubby better than anyone else, including your mum. It is only between you and your hubby (and no one else, not even parents!) to sort things out and come to an agreement on your respective roles and responsibilities. Hugs and I hope you feel better soon; it's not worth it getting upset over this and possibly straining your r/s with your hub.

So doesn't matter which hospital right? Cos we take from hospital that we deliver bb right?
Click to expand...

Sorry for the slow reply. At least that was what TMC told me; I can get the POSB gift from TMC (where I will deliver) although I indicated RH as the hospital when I signed up online.
 
Finally my bb is out safely on 16/01. Thanks all e mummies for e advices.
He is 3.765kg (lucky not as big as e gynea - Dr tho estimated 4kg) and my wife is relieve and touched after e heavy decision for c-section on e same day morning @Mt.E novena.
Now all safe and good.

Last but not least, Thks all mummies here again.

Relieved husband...
 
My Jan BB :)

Just few mins of suction fr baby solve all the blocked ducts :) wonder adult can suck this good. Thinking of asking hubby to try :p at times really difficult to clear the blocked ducts just by massaging and pumping :( hv to keep using hot pack to soften the ducts and still it doesn't clear all.

Thanks babe. I felt the same way.. over the weekend hubs and I took care of bb ourselves. Tired we were definitely..but I could tell that hubs was trying his best. We also discussed getting a helper but I'm half hearted also cos you never know what kinda person she will be like..and of cos having to forgo our privacy. Anyone can recommend any maid agency? How will u all mummies cope when u all go back to work after ML?

my grandma promised to help me look after, but looking at her health, i think its impossible... helper not a way out for us ( space problem) so hubby suggest we bring baby to work (we both work for my dad, but the working place quite dusty coz its industrial area) ...

MIL already looking after my hubby bro's and sis's kids liao, n my mum working also ...

so we somehow have to think of some ways to look after ourselves until 18mths when he is ready to go for CC

sometimes i feel the kids nowadays so ke lian.. so young age have to be put in CC liao... some had to cry solong to adjust... poor thing..

Have you considered infant care?

Bb cannot latch... The lactation consultant at the hospital said it's impossible for my baby to latch cos I have short nipples?? I'm just 100% pumping...

Is the bedding set still available?
Click to expand...

Hi I think I have short nipples too. Okay with latching leh.. just easy to get abrasion on nipples now.

Not available anymore.

Is it too much pumping will lead to 'longer' nipples?
Click to expand...
haha I think so.
My nipple don't look like mine anymore
 
@winnielove I also told hubby after giving birth the below is not mine anymore and breasts also not mine anymore, cannot feel anything now haha... very numb.

I tried latching baby but like very difficult, don't know is it I am doing the wrong way or she can't match properly.
 
krissyun said:
Btw, mummies which brand diaper cream you using? I bought mustela but CL say not good... Need to change
Click to expand...

As my bb has sensitive skin, my CL recommended using "Desitin" (Blue colour) and my mum helped me to get it from Watsons. I heard from my mum that there is a purple one too but when she asked the salesperson there they can't explain what's the difference.

I like that my CL uses water to wash bb buttocks after poo poo instead of using wet wipes, bb skin looks so much better with wash than with using wet wipes (saves $ too!)

Im using the purple one.. Its more stronger i tink cuz higher percentage on the zinc oxide thingy.. My girl got very bad nappy rash last week, used drapolene but no use.. She screamed every time she pee cuz it 'burn' the rashes.. Used the purple desitin n it work magic.. The rashes got better overnight and she dont scream in pain anymore.. Now the rashes is almost healed, i still apply thin layer of the cream as prevention..

Just asked my friend, she say Desitin creamy (blue packaging) is good for prevention... but not so effective as the purple version for actual rashes

Yup... I juz bought one of each at Guardian. Buy one get 2nd at 50% off...

I have the mustela one too... I think if bb no rashes can continue using...

The other one my CL recommended is Earth Mama Angel Baby Bottom Balm... It's non zinc oxide based, good for everyday use but slightly more exp...
 
I got dropolene for milder medication and blue densitin for stronger medication. Purple one is for actual rash, the previous two are for prevention.

I find mustela quite watery too. Recently I started using earth mama angel baby bottom balm daily because my baby poos more than 10 times a day. If she has a rash, i will use gaia natural baby skin soothing lotion. It's my personal favourite multi purpose lotion for the kids. I will save desitin original(purple) as last resort for stubborn rash as the ingredients are quite strong imo. :)

I sweat alot too. N it's very smelly. Maybe coz of what we eat.. or maybe during confinement we are suppose to expel dirty stuff ?

I can't take It so I shower everyday. I try to wash hair every alt days...

Purple one is extra strength... n the texture extra thick also.. usually blue one is enough liao...

Btw with the price at Watson(2oz) .. do u know if u buy online at smh bp or qoo10.. u can buy a 4oz at the same price.

Some mummies got it straight from some us site directly.. even cheaper...
