ANY MALAY MUMS HERE?

[lynzi]

nora r
i have frens teaching in both masjid and playgroup. For masjid its still more of religious studies like doa2 harian but they do set aside a bit of time for english and maths. For playgroup they have english, maths, some playtime and art n craft. Its up to your preferance.

lynn, babylee,
u gerls bringing baby to taka this thurs? I have the option of bringing baby or leaving him wif my mil. If bring him then have to use my babybjorn as its difficult to use my buzz over the stairs at orchard.

 

[babylee]

Lynzi, Lynn

I confirm again ngan u hari Wed if I'm going ke tak. My mom just told me she ade checkup kat NUH so there's no babysitter.

 

[lynzi]

ok sure babylee.

mamaliz,
i went to melaka but got nothing to shop for sey. So disappointed. If go mahkota parade that is like going kotaraya or angsana. If at the new melaka megamall at dataran pahlawan ada lots of shops like mango, roxy, hallmark babies and even giordano but the price is either more ex or same as in spore. Macam wasted gitu kalau beli. If at melaka central then the place like for makcik2...buy kerepek like 3 for 10 ringgit. Sigh...in the end we spent so much on food. Eat like nobody's business sey. U should try the seafood at Alai. Super nice!!!

 

[norarossi]

Hi lynzi..Thanks for ur opinions..Hmm ill be checking out the Talent Plus tommorow n the mosque the next dAY..will try to make comparison by observation though its not easy just by observing in 1 day..

 

[lynzi]

sasha,
i went to so many watson and guardian today but don't have any phytocedrat and phytossoul?!?! Can really tear my hair out. U know of any watson or guardian that has it? Thanks!

 

[mamaliz]

lynzi..
ok lahh...i dah berapa tahun tak jejak melaka...my main point in going there is nak visit my late dadnya kubur...rindu sangat.
shopping...my cuzzin rajin pi sana to shop...so i ikut ajerr mana dia bawak...hehehe, n we oso heading to famosa, if enuf budget nak go cowboy town....yehhh~! oh...n so excited cos we staying at the newly open holiday inn kat sana...mesti spanking new kan?? saw the website n i like the scenery....macam hunneymoon wif all the tiang lampus around...

 

[lynzi]

mamaliz,
i'm sorry to hear about your dad. Btw the holiday inn is super nice. That muz be my word of the week now...LOL. If u like to karaoke there is a newly opened ktv that's very cheap at The Jetty. Its at this long jetty in front of the hotel. Per hour is only 12 ringgit if i'm not wrong and its not compulsory to buy drinks.

Sigh...this mas selamat is really troubling me. Becos of him, my hubby has to work whenever they call him even though like today he just reached home from work. So irritating. All the info given was wrong so far. Hopefully they will get him soon.

 

[highvolt]

halo to all,
I can't remember if I pernah post here tak. I see this thread is pretty happening lah. Can I join in too??

 

[mixedup]

Lynzi, i tink bukan u je sorang. All the wifeys of SAF regulars pun mcm tu.. Kena on-standby mode smp si Mas Selamat kena captured balik. Tapi dia pun lagi kesian. Ntah mana je dia sembunyi.

JustMe,

 

[babylee]

Hai, don't be surprised he's somewhere near any of our estates. Recently, my dad nye office pants kena sapu. Tak pernah pernah jemur baju kat corridor kena hangkut org. My hubby nye baju Adidas pun kena sapu skali. My hubby said, don't be surprised skali ini keje Mas Slamat cos he was last wearing his detention clothes kan. Let's say he kena caught with a black Adidas t-shirt, than u all know lah, it's my hubby's nye....hahahahaha.

 

[lynzi]

zu
kena on standby mode takpe. Ni kena call to work every nite n to think during the day pun he still have to go work as usual.

babylee,
your dad n hubby tak buat report ke? Its a must to report if your clothes go missing now tau.

There is this latest joke. Update: Mas Selamat has entered msia. The malaysians have put up signs all over the country saying "SELAMAT DATANG"...hahaha.

 

[noni1]

babylee
ok will keep a lookout for guys with black adidas t-shirt ..hehheheh funny la.

btw, from the pics of him thats being distributed he looks very non-descript.. ordinary... kind of like sujimi.. dont u think??

 

[mamaliz]

lynzi...
wahhh..got karaoke dat cheap ahh?? tapi bleh bawak kids inside ke? kalau bleh bagus jugak eh...lagi2 im going with my hub's cuzzin..ramai2 karaoke syiok jugak..heheheh

abt this mas selamat person...
babylee...u read the report on news paper kan...the police advise to inform if things such as clothes or vehicles missing cos they said it might lead to him...even if false alarm is still being taken seriously...they seem desperate to find him
wahhh....im going malacca next wk...wonder if there will still be jam at the causeway...??hmmmm

 

[lynzi]

mamaliz
that time i even brought my boy in and he's only 2mths at that time. He can sleep all the way while we karaoke...haha.

FYI, causeway confirm jam till they manage to find him cos they only open 1 lane for checking after your passport has been checked. They will check thoroughly. Last fri my hubby went jam for 3 hours. Juz now he went again jam for at least an hour.

 

[mamaliz]

hi mummies..
wanna share sumthing dat i jus read on stomp!! a nurse in sgh made a big mistake by carrying out the wrong procedure on a child..3 mths old baby..
here's the link http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/singaporeseen/viewContent.jsp?id=15749

thing is i tak suka wif the response from the hospital...."the nurse has been counselled wif" ...sheesh~...last time my mum was admitted to the AnE at sgh then this stoopid nurse wanted to insert the needdle for the tube to my mums hand...she was chatting n not concentrating n my mum pon marah lahh...the nurse jus poke the nedle in n even when my mum said its painfull n she cud have insert it wrongly the woman jus ignore my mum!!
sampaikan my mum nangis sehh...n my mum ni dah biasa masuk keluar hospital.biasa lah sakit2...so she can sense dat the needdle is not at the rite place...anyway, a doc came by n told her off but she jus sulked off....
my sis make a complain n guess wat..."the nurse had been counselled"....typical answer from them...

 

[babylee]

Lynzi,
Oh dear. Nak kena buat report? Got to tell my mom nie.

Mamaliz,
Wah! Ni dah berkobar kobar benar nak gi holiday. Jgn lupa take all the pics and post kat sini.

 

[lynzi]

That's why if go govt hosp must go as private patient so those nurses yg baru2 pass or still training like those from ITE will not be able to touch u. Seram sey.

Aniwei mamaliz, anywhere in the govt sector is like that. They will give the same answer when the person is being discipline.

 

[sasha4real]

[norarossi]

Thank you Sha Sha for your warm welcome..From the previous thread i read,,u staying in Toa Payoh kan? Me in Whampoa but always will drop by at Toa Payoh cause here no shopping centre n Mother in Law living there..so boring2 at home sembang2 or window shopping lah there..Aniwae there always have alot of "sales" at the HDB hub atrium rite??

 

[sexymumma]

hey ppl!

WELCOME NEWBIES!

Talking abt sterilising, I didnt know that the bottle would turn yellow. Zu, ur bottles tu what brand? Mine is also avent and I don't see them turning yellow or merekah. Anw it's only 8 mins kan...q fast. I didn't put any tablets, just water.

mamaliz
be prepared for a long jam! Where will u be staying? I stayed at Mahkota but I think Holiday Inn is v nice, just next to ti. Time tu belum bukak lagi. The megamall is big. There is one pet shop with cute cat and exotic animals...beside it ada kedai jual girls' dresses. Very nice and cheap. Bought loads of clips and hairbands there too. I also got a baby rocking chair from the stalls in front of mahkota shopping ctr.

I'd love to join u'all go Taka baby fair but got meet parents session. Wub like to check out the double pram yg depan belakang tu lah..tak bnyk tmpt ada jual and nt sure wat brand. Any suggestions?

Pasal si Selamat tu pun, I jadi paranoid..I wud b looking at ppl and see if they hv a slight limp, or anyone lurking near forested area or any sounds in my home! Sigh...my hb pun hairan..

lynzi
I dah fed up jemur baju so i bought myself a dryer! Ni gara2 suggestion from my colleague cos she bought one. It really helped me alot but then good to use once a week. Kalau tk bnyk electricity!

Babylee
Betul ke Selamat yg curi or is there someone else taking advantage of this situation? Susah nk ckp jugak eh..

 

[lynzi]

Hey mummies, there is some sun today, yea!!! Hopefully it wil stay sunny like dis the whole day.

sharena,
i did think of buying a dryer when i moved house last year but thinking of the electric consumption i got scared. Tambah dengan my comp always on hibernation mode mesti meletup bill i. Ni aje my hubby dah make noise.

Lucky u ada things for gerls. Down there at malacca very hard to find things for boys except at parkson and world of cartoons at mahkota shopping ctr.

Sasha,

3)

Anyone else joining??

Lynzi,
So much for sun huh? Now dah hujan balik. Baru ingat nak bring kids to playground after nap. And I agree abt baju. When it rains like this, my kain baju to wash just pile up while witing for the rest to dry - boring seh!

Anyways, you hv my number so SMS me ok

Abt 11AM is good for me...I will most prob bring my youngest one, yg lain in sch.

Sharena,
Phil &amp; Ted's - abt 1K??

If you want I can look out for you at the baby fair for your double stroller. But to be honest, the side by side is easier to manage actually.

Babylee,
Ya, the Peg Perego is quite good(I hv one) but I think for tods younger than 2yrs, they cant stand for too long.

Nora.R,
Ya, me at Toa Payoh Lor 2. Very near Central, always shop there

My sons also 3yrs so if you ever want to come over or meet up, let me know. I take them to SAFRA sometimes

 

[lynzi]

So fed up with the weather now. So much clothes piling up and my hubby kept changing clothes now that he has to work day AND nite. Heard from him that he was looking for the runaway at Mandai forest. Ni balik mesti lots of dirty, wet clothes again...sigh.

sasha,
will sms u on the timing. Your youngest one is how old?

 

[norarossi]

Sha Sha..Tats good My son can have fun with his new fren n we can chit chat..Safra the playhouse kan..Ok set when we r free we can meet..Aniwae duduk kat umah pun boring..

 

[lynzi]

nora r
u not joining us tomorrow?

 

[norarossi]

I do want to go but i cant think of anything to buy there..Baby fair is it mostly for baby items or do they have clothes for my son who is 3..And tmrw i got classes in the evening..preety rush to send my son to MIL then sch..some other times perhaps do let me noe of anymore sales k..Aniwae anyone went for last week Watsons n Popular Sale at the Expo?..Fuyoh so many ppl..i find tat they have huge bargain even up to 80%..They r going to hold another one in Orchard..

 

[sasha4real]

Lynzi,
My youngest 18mths - I plan to tie her out &amp; go brekkie first then by time I meet you, she shd be napping in the stroller so can shop in peace

Nora.R,
Come join us lah. I am pretty sure that there's stuff for older kids too. You PM me your number lah, so I can ctc you when we plan to go next

Zu,
Where are you?? Menghilang - there goes the plan to go back to Jacob Ballas, thanks to the rain.

Join us at Baby Fair tmr??

 

[norarossi]

I would love to..but i think its a bit rushing since i have classes later..Tak shiok nak sembang2 kena balik cepat2..hehe ok i have PM u my number..Aniwae "enjoy ur shopping tommorrow all the sexy mamas.."

 

[mixedup]

sasha, was surfing till i rcv the sms. Kalo i read earlier mite hv asked my MIL to extend her stay them i bole la gi shopping sorang. hehe.. Neway, kalo i cn arrange smth will join u gerls tmr.

Double stroller- Tot of buying too tapi very diff to move ard the escalator. Wats more hb not always ard. Phil and Ted now cost abt $800 plus only tak salah. Tapi can be quite heavy.

Dryer- I pun ade satu. Helps me a lot kalo cuaca tak tentu. Tu pun hb bot for me pasal dat tym i pregnant, kain galah i jatuh dr tgkt 8. Nasib baik tak terkena org pat bawah. Kalo tak bole kena saman. Abt electric consumption, i rase it doesnt make so much diff to my bill as compared to previous dryer. Watsmore, i use my dryer abt 4x a week. Cos baju kids and us wash separately.

 

[misha]

Good morning, mummies!

Aiyah, hujan lagi 2day. Susahnya nak be cheerful in this kind of weather. Macam depressing gitu. I pun kena pakai dryer more often. Kalau tak, my hubby and kids tak cukup uniform. Definitely electric bill naik.

lynzi, kesiannya your hubby, kena kerja teruk-teruk. Selamat my hubby escape, sebab baru operate mata. For everyone's sake, hopefully they'll catch him soon.

Jealousnya I dengar you all nak pegi shopping. Too bad I kena kerja. Can let me know later if there's anything for older kids? Ke semua barang utk baby-baby aje?

 

[anneffendi]

Salams mummies,

[sexymumma]

sasha, zu
stroller yg side by side tu memang nampak bulky. Was looking for the back and front one..tu brape eh? Taknak lah yg mahal sgt. Preg prego tu yg front and back? Lagipun i think I won;t be going out alone with the kids.

Wah! today raining again. May get my hb to go with me to TAKA this evening kalau tak malas...

 

[mamaliz]

nora effendi...
kesian nya ur kid dah kena cp....mine dua dua belum lagik but my mum siang siang dah ajar me on things to note n do...hehehehe, super kiasu pasal last time masa my brother kecik kecik he kena paling teruk....
my aruah datuk kena bawak dia pergi indian temple n the sami tolong ubatkan! seriously~..they sapu sapukan the whole badan ngan daun maple....my mak cakap it helps...itu case teruk lahhh...
anyway, i dengar jauhkan kicap, n seafood...mandi lap lap ajerr...avoid touching the spots..
oh, n one more pesan i dengar is dat avoid cooking at home, itu petua org tua...donnoe if its tru..but my mum ikut jerr...itu jer i ingat lahh, maybe some mummies yg dah experience bleh share tips eh...

 

[mamaliz]

oh yeah....
jus wanna say my piece on the rain too! i tak bleh tahan lah wif the rain~...my kain jemur tak kering kering and my hub dah came up wif the idea to keringkan baju uniform dia in our bedroom where he will blast the aircond! fuyoh...now our bedroom smells of laundries! hoping for the sun to come out soon~~
kaki i sampai kena cramp pasal sejuk sangat....haiz..

 

[Lynn02]

Heloo Mummies...!!

i nak tanya sikit lah, any mummies here yg tahu is there any supplement which i can take to keep my breastmilk flowing?

my baby only 6mth and i think my breastmilk is going to dry out soon.

need advise

Thks

 

[babylee]

Nora,
Dulu I pernah kena CP. Like what mamaliz says takleh makan seafood and kicap. Takut gatal asyik nak garuk je. So put alot of calamine lotion. This will help the itchiness. Pasal jgn masak kat rumah tu, I tak pasti lah. Hee...hee...kebulur nanti semua eh.

Lynn,
Actually breastmilk is depend on how ur baby demands it tau. I breastfeed Darling until she's almost 14 months. I takde timing. Dia nak je I give. When I found out that I'm pregnant, my breastmilk jadi sikit. So lucky by then, Darling is on solid food so tak brape ask for breastmilk u see. Tapi what I know, if you have a warm drink or soup before u breastfeed, it will helps the milk flow. For me I took Anmum milk je on top of my daily food. U must eat healthily and drink alot too.

 

[misha]

Lynn,
there are many breastfeeding supplements, like fenugreek capsules, nursing teas, Mother's Milk Plus &amp; green papaya soup. Semua I dah try. Tapi for me, most effective is to pump after every feed, then lepas 3 to 4 days, there'll be more milk. But also must drink lots of water, Milo and eat oats.
I pun masih breastfeed my 1-yr-old girl. Everytime dapat menses, terpaksa start taking supplements, kalau tak, tak cukup susu.

 

[maswan02]

Lynn
wat i know my 1st son pon breastfeed till he is 14mths old then i preggy the 2nd....eat more green vege like bayam, drink warm soup...my 1st son macam tak cukup breakfeed bila i know i expecting i slowly kasi dia formula...since tak dapat nyoyot dia buat main2...gentel2 my puting hehehehe....the 2nd son only 3mths breastfeed lepas tu tak mo lagi sampai lah kekeringan...

 

[Lynn02]

babylee,
i selalu breastfeed petang &amp; mlm je, morning when i'm working and my bb on S26. Kat keje i tak pump, mcm malas gitu kan. My is manual pump so got no time lah. Tink need to buy the electric pump already. sign. And now i realise my breastmilk semakin kurang gitu. bb selalu tak cukup. Btw I dont really like milk, i drink HL only for my breakfast.

Misha
Is it true, kita kena pump after every feed? i tak pernah pump, will give a try. btw kat mana eh i boleh beli the supplements, like fenugreek capsules, nursing teas, Mother's Milk Plus &amp; green papaya soup? And which is more effective? Thks

 

[Lynn02]

Danryan
How u noe eh ur son dah tak nak breastfeed lagi? my bb walaupun feed from bottle in the morning, but at nite dia tak drink from bottle, dia nak breastfeed jugak. especially when putting him to bed. mesti nak kena breastfeed. if not very hard to put him to sleep. Dat why i'm worry ni, my breastmilk mcm nak kering je..

 

[maswan02]

lynn02
my 2nd son langsung tak nak nyonyot...he just play wif his tougue and toleh kiri kanan....when i kasi formula bukan main laju je dia minum...now dia dah 2yrs plus lagi kuat minum bila time mlm...abt 3 to 4 bottles one nite...

 

[maswan02]

anyway, i pon working mom....i tak suka pump....bila balik je i terus kasi my son breastfeed....kat opis tahan je lah bila dah penuh n bengkak....when i start werk fr my maternity leave, my 1st son macam tau je dah kul 5 je dia nangis tak mo berenti....waiting for me balik werk kasi dia breasyfeed.....pernah jugak pump but dia tak suka tak mau minum langsung

 

[babylee]

Lynn,
Normally working mom ade sikit leceh nak express the milk in the office. Understand. Lynn, u try buy the supplement lah like what Misha suggested. Maybe it really does help.

Danryan,
Normally ppl say kan, if pregnant u cannot breastfeed ur current child. I still breastfeed Darling skarang although I'm at 32 weeks. Like what u said kan, she just nak pegang je and play with it in her mouth. She only ask for Mama's milk time nak tidor je. I tot of weaning her but tak sampai hati. She is less than 2 yrs dah expecting a sister. I takut je nanti I dah gave birth, sibling rivalry. She will ask for breastfeeding all over again.

 

[maswan02]

babylee
now my both son dah tak breastfeed lagi.
Yg 1st son Oct dia 5yrs old n the 2nd son on Aug dia 3yrs...going to dapat adik gerl on June sooooon...same lah dulu yg 1st one lum cukup breastfeed dah nak dapat adik....

 

[misha]

Lynn,
To have more milk, you'll have to breastfeed or pump more, since demand=supply. Kalau tak, makin sikitlah susunya. Macam ne you tahan tak pump at work? Tak bengkak and uncomfortable ke? Ideal case, should bfeed or pump every 3 hrs. Memang leceh pump at work. I bawak my pump to and fro everyday. Usually pump once at work, cos I balik rumah for lunch &amp; bfeed baby.

For the supplements, fenugreek capsules at Guardian pharmacy, must take 3 capsules, 3 times a day, but I warn you, lepas tu, bau macam org Mama! Nursing teas &amp; mother's milk plus from Vitakids at United Square or Forum. Cheapest is to buy green unripe papaya from wet mkt and cook for 2 or more hours and take the soup 3-4 times a day. Different ppl serasi wif different supplements. Probably for you, kalau you pump or feed more, mesti after 3-4 days, dah increase.

 

[Lynn02]

Thks for u all punya advise, really appreciate dat.

Misha
when i baru start work, i did pump during lunch time, coz overflow klu tak pump. As time pass by, my breastmilk makin kurang so i tak pump lah. i tot it ok wont kering lah coz i still breastfeed him when i'm home. But now semakin kurang pulak and bb selalu tak cukup.
Tink i will try fenugreek first. Btw how much it cost eh? any guardian ada jual? buy over the counter ke?
