Congrats.hi all mums, i'm 1st time newbie mum..
i have abit queries:
1. How frequent should i go for gynae check and ultrasound scan?
2. For chinese, do you all advise to attend wedding dinner during 1st trimester? some online review not to....say will clash the luck
Not too good actually, it means she will throw tantrums every 1 hr because she's sleepy but fights sleep.Haha I guess every baby is different. Interesting to read here how they are!
Tuna actually quite good babies nap frequently? Even half hour makes a lot of difference.
I find my time with her is now so super precious. Mon-Fri leave home by 715am to drop her at IFC. She would have drank by 4-5am. Then back to sleep. So morning I only clean her face and hands and off she goes to school.
Evening only with her for 2-3hrs and then it'll be bedtime liao at about 7-730pm. During these hours,I clean and change and feed and read books to her. Sometimes her 爷爷 will take her for a half hour stroll before I clean her.
So i only have two days a week to spend full day with her over weekend. I find after starting IFC, she naps a little better and longer. The time she fusses is pretty much only when hunger strikes. 老师们did comment this baby when hungry is no pre warning one. Which is same case when home. That's the dilemma I always have. I try to feed at 3hr interval but she may not always take the feed. But if i wait for her to cry, she cries like I didn't feed her for 3days.
As much as I like to stick to a bedtime timing, I find that if I take her out at night and dong her till 8-9pm, she'll sleep in car seat for long. Just like last night we had to attend my nephew's bdae bash. Left at 8ish pm and she slept during the car ride all the way home till next day. We didn't wanna disturb her so we left her in the car seat in our room (didn't even change or wash her up). Or maybe she prefers to sleep in car seat haha.
As she is still not sttn despite dreamfeed at 11pm and despite months of doing it, we decide to improvise tactic by dreamfeed a second dose at 4am which is about the time she always wakes up fussing for milk. Since there's no success in siaming the motn feed, instead of attending to a hungry baby and having to pat her to return to sleep, we will try this tonight. Feed her hopefully before she wakes up ~4am.
Hope this works man.
Hi, I'm guessing you are due in May/June. In addition to what redvel shared, you may want to consider joining the May/June 2017 babies thread. As much as we can answer your questions from our own experience, joining that thread will benefit you a lot more as you will be able to find support from other mummies going through the same stages together with you, eg. Nausea, endless scans, gender revelation etc. I found much comfort from mummies here also going through morning sickness which made the first and second trimester more bearable.hi all mums, i'm 1st time newbie mum..

Go and enjoy your me-time! You deserve some time doing stuff you like. It won't be like that everyday,.Looks like someone is soaked into Tula fever hehe.
I hardly have the chance to use my carrier these days. She has been quite cooperative in the pram lately
Today she came home from IFC and within half hr knocked out already at 7ish. I only had like 1hr of her waking time today!
Never wear. Mine never leak out. I think become 内伤 already.@KWL - aiyoh, got wear breast pad not? Neh ji ba bom will leak leak leak de. How to go for mtgs with two wet patches right? Lol!
Huh really got such saying ar? Last month I bring my baby to wedding leh and this Sunday also going to bring him for another wedding haha@snowfern
My mum nagged at me for bringing BB to wedding. She said next time very hard to 带 BB one, and I'll suffer cause he will be very fussy. Got such saying one meh?
The Dr advised us when we had to supplement, that if bb vomit (not spit up, that's normal, more merlion type) then means overfeeding. Overfeeding is common for bottlefed babies, as they cannot control how much flow into their tummy. Best to reduce volume if feeding by schedule, or might cause more problems like reflux, choking in sleep, gassiness etc.@emk, ah I see. I wanted to try to let her sleep more in the night. But becos I need to pump milk out so I prepare ebm in case she got hungry cues. To my husband is to feed as per schedule so she will continue to sleep then I can get rest. But yesterday she vomit out so I scare feeding her as per schedule is too much for her stomach. Whenever, I change her diaper, I see her small tummy so bloated make me very scare if she is being overfeed. But then, she is drinking as what we give her
Haha! If u gimme I sure take! XD ur hubby v candid :9@snowfern the goodie bag got free cloth diaper, u using cloth diaper right ? Do u want it? Haha
Very funny conversation with my hub when I happily open up the goodie bag.
Me: wow so pretty leh the cloth diaper, wanna try to use ?
Hub: u wanna try to wash?
Me: WASH? No way ... Then how ?
Hub: give it to your friend who use cloth diaper.
Your boobs very disciplined, 很听话, haha!Never wear. Mine never leak out. I think become 内伤 already.
On a serious note, my breasts will leak a little when full. Nowadays no more Liao. At most is some form of stinging pain
Haha ok pm youHaha! If u gimme I sure take! XD ur hubby v candid :9

Can't help with jujube. Never owned a diaper bag before, always use my usual totes, sling bags or Anello backpack sometimes.
Happy shopping!
Hahah seems like many people find that archer too plain ok archer out!!! I join the jujube fb, seem like they got new launch and many people Q... Wondering why cartoon cartoon design so popular ? Paisei I'm noob on all theseHaha I also go kaypoh and see see. For me I will choose 1. Equilateral, 2. Agate and last Archer (too plain).
For Jujube, i am getting their Be Quick or Be Set using Amazon.com (free shipping to singapore if the cart value is >USD125).. Don't know if there will be any discount on Black Friday so I haven't checkout my cart. The price is cheaper than getting it locally which cost S$50 for Be Quick.

How much are u feeding baby per day?
In the day time, schedule 3hrly or if BB cry earlier, can feed early. At nite, let the baby self-wake for milk. If dun wake then soon will sttn!
In the first 4 weeks, baby should not go without feed for more than 4hr. Must wake to feed...
But after 4 weeks different ball game, a 5 weeks old baby has the ability to sleep 5hrs stretch at nite, 10 weeks old 10hrs... so on and so forth... dun have to wake...
@Evafantasy i think for the night feeding, if baby Erin is sleeping you might not want to wake her up (or even dream feed her). Cause like adults, night sleep is very important for growth. So unless she's crying, if not I think she's really going to STTN soon
Just make sure she drank enough for the daytime is fine
Making loud noise when drinking milk and sleep ? Might be due to the throat thin lining, my baby used to make this type of noise and I suspect is phlegm and seek PD advice, he explain baby throat lining still very thin so when they breath in very hard the throat will close up that's why making such noise. He use the coffee shop straw and mcd straw to explain a clearer picture for me, he said coffee shop straw very soft and thin, suck too hard it will stick together, mcd straw very hard, suck very hard also won't stick together. I don't know is your baby situation same as mine or not, if u worry can seek for PD.Oh, btw, do you all bring your baby to PD clinic or polyclinic to see dr if baby is sick or need some dr advice? Erin is not sick but can always hear like she got a lot of phlegm stuck inside her.
@redvel @candymoshi thanks for sharing about your babies' ifc . seems like both of your babies are in private ifc ! I might check out moral childcare too... abit worried about placing my baby in MFS as i find the centre quite small when I peek from outside and the principal only wants to meet me on 28th and my bb would be starting ifc on 1 Dec . Like abit too late for me to reject if i don't like the place. Are both of you still breastfeeding ? How much milk do u supply to the ifc? Abit lost as I'm direct latching at home now...

I registered for a few MFS. Those within walking distance are all full and the one that offered me is actually 2 bus stop away. Are you going to let your baby continue playgroup and kindergarten at the same centre or will you be looking for other school when the time comes?You are lucky to get a space in MFS. I have a MFS 2 blks from my place and I was on waitlist for my number 1. Number 2 also waitlist.
The Moral Childcare is 5 bus stops away and I was number 1 on waitlist. One mom withdrew and I got the space for no1. When I conceive no2, immediately go and chope space in IFC.
I am still bf-ing, I give fbm to IFC for no1 cos I didn't know better. No2 I smart Liao, give ebm in bottles. The bottles are packed per feed so they just warm + screw on the teat! I gave 5 feeds (cos the principal asked for 5 powdered feeds) but 12hrs wun take 5 feeds one. Now I'm packing 4 bottles x 120ml... tried increasing but he was unable to finish.
I've heard good reviews about skool4kids in the north area. maybe u can give it a try MFS is charging me $750+ after $600 working mother subsidyMFS fee quite expensive right ? I not sure is it same price for all center, but the one under my block cost $2300 before subsidy.
@candy moshi When baby start solid food, will ifc give baby porridge?
Last month searching high n low for ifc and finally got a place at school4kid to start in Jan 17,can't view the place because it's still under construction.i yet to cfm with ifc as I don't know my mum can cope or not.. Let her have a trial period next week when I officially start work.
