krabi tu kat thailand lah. Usually people go island-hopping to phi phi island. Nearby phuket too. Anw, with my 1 yr old doter in tow, it was not advisable to go for the day trip to the islands. Furthermore, my condition cam ni.During our stay there we just walked along the shopping streets, mkn, swim. True blue Lepaks!
Water not very clean though. At the end of the trip, my doter sakit perut sampai buang air 3x on the last day. But she didn't show any signs of being in pain lah..cuma buang air je.
Next time I'll probably go alone with my hb so we can go for the day trip. Cheap airfare and short getaway. Massages and spa are really cheap too.

Sally
Ur girl is 2yo? Very adorable ah she. I've always been geram with small girls blessed with curly hair..cute!
 
Juz to share. I've been to Krabi recently too. We rented a car and roamed the island, more interesting. As for water, kiasu me bot dozen of bottled water for the toddler.

Makes me wanna try for a girl but sekali boy again how

Hi All,

Just came across this thread.. very interesting discussions you have here..

lemme intro myself,

My name is Marlina.. a mother of a 21 month old daughter..name is Marsya..25 this year..working mum..can't wait to be a sahm..hehe
 
Sharena
Alahai kesianya..doter sakit..hmm bila I dgr air kotor tak berani la nak pergi..maybe kalau dgn hubby jer I think its alright la but not with toddler.

Sally
Your Sally is so adorable..rambut mcm Goldilocks la..Like the rest, how I wish I could have a daughter with those kind of curly too..tapi rambut hubby and me are both wavy..so no chance la..

Bettybad
Lama tak nmpk kat sini..anyway how are you? Tengok anak org girl teringin juga eh nak try..tapi samalah kita..TAKUTTTTTT kalau BOY lagi!! HAHAHAH

Xpu
Welcome aboard! We talked about almost everything the sun,sand and the sea here..so thats y INTERESTING..
Ur daughter has a unique name,Marsya..whats the meaning eh?
So whr do u live?
 
Hi mummies,

I plan to register my 2yr daughter to join playgroup next year. Can anyone recommend any reliable n good playgroup she can join in Bedok North? Any feedback on Apple Tree or Masjid Ghuran or other islamic centre?
 
Shermin
Been busy at work so jarang masuk *but ah, masih ada time untuk browse thru the overseas sprees..hehe*
You have 1 boy kan? I have 2. Buay tahan lah. Kalau the 3rd one boy jugak boleh pengsan.

Sharena
Hope your daughter is okay now. I haven't travelled anywhere since I had my boys (except to my MIL's in Masai). You guys made it sounds so easy. Planning for a family vacation next yr when the boys are bigger. Anyone been to HK Disneyland?

Xpu
Welcome! I think most FTWM cant wait to be SAHM. I'll most probably be one when my eldest masuk P1. That'ld be in about 5 yrs time. For now, berangan dulu.

Iyah,
I've heard some good reviews from friends who have sent their children to Apple Tree. The fees pun quite affordable. Not sure about the rest though coz I'm in the West.

memang evcery year, we will try to go somewhere for holidays. Kalau time kita berdua, we usually visit my Mum in UK then have short trip to other cities. InsyaAllah next Dec we'll be going to melbourne coz my aunt ada time-share apartment kat sana. My mum, aunt and cousins will be going too. Only thing is I dah gi 2x but the rest belum pernah so mcm boring for me...unless we visit another pl besides melb.

By the way,kat west, where is the nearest apple tree to bt batok?
 
Hey Sharena, it's great when you have family members to travel with. My sisters and cousins always go during non holiday periods. Boo boo for us who have to work during school period.

There's one at BB St 25 (not sure exactly where) but the other nearest one would be in CCK, opposite Lot 1 and that civic centre.
 
Helo sume!! Im back!
happy.gif

Tapi still coping with the late nite feed.
Busy la.. Jaga both my kids.
Anyway, thank for all the well wishes.

Pasal takde post sejak Xmas? Mane sume ilang?
Long weekend sume pi holiday ke?

1170016.gif
 
Mamaliz, I don't have a schoolgoing kid but been working in a primary sch my whole life (hehe).

I think a dollar would suffice if it's just to buy food and drinks for recess. But remember to start her off with loose change instead of the $1 coin jadi it's easier for her.
 
$1 enuf ke...? hmmmm...pasal dat time i went to the skool for orientation n some mums actually told me they sell soft drinks dat comes in pet bottles n cans...some of the kids actually jus buy the bottle wifout asking the price and ended up paying a dollar for it!! they dun sell those dispenser drinks like last time lehhh...dulu 40cents jerr...sheesh~ belum lagi beli makan~
i think the first wk or so i let her bring packed food from home jerr lahhh...hopefully dia tak rasa janggal see her schoolmates buying food though~
 
Hi mummies!

Been a long, long time since i post something here. To all the new mummies, congrats!!

Wanna ask something, lately I've been experiencing lower back ache prior to my period. Know anything to relieve it?? Thanks
 
Hi mommies!!

Its the first time I chanced upon a thread on malay mummies. Interested to join in your discussion.

Me just gave birth on 2 dec to a boy named muhammad faiq rifqi. I'm a first time mum. Still have lots to learn. I will be ending my confinement very soon. Can't wait to get out sey...hehe
 
Sally, i got help from both my mom and mil for two weeks je. Thereafter me dgn hb take turn bgn pagi kasi baby susu. I rase kalo u tak nak stress yr mom, maybe bila u and hb da penat rabak then ask her to come and help. Its not ez dgn satu toddler and satu baby. Esp baru2. Bole jadi giler. Esp tym dua2 nak attn at the same tym.
happy.gif


Hey lynzi, welcome! I pun baru meletop. Anak gal-7 Dec. Me tak tunggu confinement habis la. Bole giler dok rmh ari2! hehe.. Sometym letak baby pat my mom then kuar kejap ambik angin w my son. Tapi 3jam je mesti kena balik, pump susu. :p
 
Whoa zu...best ah get to go out. Me doing strict confinement ah.

My mum took care of me for the 1st 3 weeks then all the way till end of confinement my MIL took over. They stayed at my house jadi at nite they are the ones who woke up. They said dalam hari i will be easily tired so basically i don't do much except to feed the baby and change his diaper je.

Since they are here all the time, i have no chance to go out. Even my cousin's wedding I was not allowed to attend.
 
Sally,
For my 1st, my mum came daily for 2 weeks.
for my 2nd one, my mum came daily to help for a week only and I was pretty much on my own. My husband sent my older boy daily to the babysitter for almost 2 months of my maternity so it was just me and the baby at home.

Lynzi,
Welcome aboard! I hated my confinement periods too but I didn't really follow strictly. Towards the end, dah curik curik keluar with my husband and kids. Hehe.
 
Yelah...im so bored at home. Been doing lots of online shopping sampai my husband was shocked and he said at home pun i boleh habiskan duit...ehehe
 
Lynzi,
Welcome on board!
happy.gif


Zu,
Heh, I can understand your situation now my dear;)Can you pls share pix of Sara. Her scar how, is it fading?

Ish, this past mth, I been surrounded by newborns...so so tempting gitu!!!
 
Thanks for all the warm welcomes, ladies!

Me so sleepy now. Yesterday my MIL had to stay overnite at her weekend home in jb so for the first time me and hubby had to wake up at nite. Yawnzzz...luckily my boy tak banyak sangat ragam.

Today also the first time i bathe him. Seram sey...

Wonder how u gerls cope wif more than 1. Terror ah..
 
Lynzi
Welcome on board!!

Zu
U are back!! How are you coping? I think quite tough eh?? Thats why la Im so scared to commit to another one while Sharf is still a toddler.. Anyway, I believe children are still a blessing rite..

Bettybad
Your confinement was well planned la..Sending the older ones to somewhere is a good idea so you can have enough rest when the baby sleeps eh..tapi mcm kesian jugak for the older ones..makes him think that mummy dont want him to be around any longer eversince there's a new baby at home.

Sasha
Jgn tempting la u!! Tapi kalau sangkut lagi pun apa salahnya kan.. You have always been a supermommy!!
 
lynzi
Bila mandikan your boy tu , I suggest you put him on the support instead of holding him like the old tradional ways..Dulu when I gave birth to my son, I tak tahu that theres such thing tau..pasal yg selalu mandikan my baby then was my mum or the tukang urut. I was so seram that the baby wld slip off my hand esp bila tgh sabun2kan dia thats why bukan I yg mandikan dia..Hhehe.
But recently I saw theres this support we can use, putting it inside the tub. So baby will lie dwn on it while kita mandikan dia..susah I nak explain..
Maybe other mummies yg pernah pakai this thingy,can explain further.
 
shimmers,
thanks for the info. I bought the fisher price bath tub so memang it comes with like a float to support baby when bathing him. With that pun I seram nak bathe him. So licin after sabun. Luckily everything ok!
 
1182161.jpg

Sasha, this is Sarah. Scar dia da hilang after the 3rd day. Neway, my blur hb salah spell nama dia, so now its the same spelling like Lani's Sarah. Men, tak bole trust to do sometg simple.
sad.gif
Ya, i support shimmers. Kalo sangkut pun ape salahnye. The more the merrier!

Shimmers, now da better sikit cos Sarah da ade schedule. At least i know dia will ask for milk every 3.5hrly. Tak yah tunngu dia nangis. Kalo tak bingit lain, kan cheong pun lain. haha.. Adam pun quite helpful. Kadang dia tolong2 ambik kan barang2 adik dia. For me, susah skrg next tym da bole relaks. Kalo nak tunggu Adam besar then ade adik, bile nak relaks. hehehe.. To each his own la.
happy.gif
 
Lynzi,
When my babies were btw newborn till abt 3 mths, I bath them once every 2 days but I will wipe them twice a day on every other day. Dah lepas 3 bulan tu, dah besar & semangat sikit tak lah seram sangat to bath them. Alhamdullilah, time bathing all my kids(when they were babies), I had no accidents! Amin
happy.gif


Shermin,
I actually wanted to ikat after Saarah tapi my gynae tak kasi
sad.gif
If I nak another pun, I was thinking of adopting lah....but not now...insyallah in the future kalau mampu!

Zu,
Ish ish, dah tembam nye si Sarah. Tat time masa kat hospital, so slim & fragile gitu. She look like you I feel. Nama can change kan within a mth? Oh well, I agree lah...men cant do smthg simple & if we make a big deal of it, they say we nag...a lose-lose situation wt them!!

Kalau I tersangkut (which I am trying hard not to at this moment!), you & Shermin support lah...hehe
happy.gif
If I hv 5th child, can declare bankrupt...dah lah no subsidy, no baby bonus...so much for the govt supporting more than 2 but give no support! Crap
sad.gif


I agree wt your views on suffer now, shake legs later
happy.gif
Bila bila you free, we can meet up. Dah lama tk nampak Adam...& want to see Sarah too
happy.gif
 
hehe...I think my first virgin attempt of bathing him was quite successful.

sasha...i think u better not ikat. My nenek urut said its not good to ikat, wil get complications as u get older.
 
Sasha, malas la nak tukar2. Actually. dia sengaja letak nama tu with the 'h' pat blakang. Dia kate more complete. Ntah ape maksud dia pun tak tau! U mintak salah org support da... kite dua org nie SAHM, mane le mampu. Emotional support bole ler!!

Me blom brani venture out sorang2 dgn budak dua nie. U know la si Adam nie tak makan saman. Ade nanti pat luar terkial2, mane nak kejar dia and carry Sarah. Then this lil' gal pun satu, she tak suke letak dlm pram la. Like the brother, nak di-sling aje.
 
Gerls, I nak tanyalah. My son, faiq, only pooed once a day. Is that normal? Should i be worried?

Aniwei zu...cutelah your gerl. So tembam...geram!!
 
lynzi, i'm not sure. But my gal, i rase sama age mcm yr boy poo after almost every feed. Normal tak? Neway i masih kasi dia BM. Sometyms FM and BM pun make a difference tau.
 
My boy i supplement him with fm as he drinks too much and with bm he gets hungry very fast. If total bm, when he wakes up at nite he can feed for 1 and a half hour. Then one hour later he will be hungry again. Tak boleh tahan sey like that.
 
Hi Mommies!!

Welcome Lynzi!

Welcome back zu!! Your doter is 7 dec and my farah is 7 nov.

I dun remember how many times farah poos a day but if ur doter poos after each feed, is that normal??

Lynzi
Ur boy boleh tahan jugak eh?

Now I'm in my 25th wk. Nanti kalau dah keluar boy ni, mcm mana agaknya!
 
Yalah sharena...my boy really surprised me. Did not expect him to be such a big feeder...hehe.
At first I was worried cos takut overfeeding.

When I asked around, everyone said oh boys are like that. Some elders even suggested to mix his milk with nestum but I don't dare as all the books are against it due to his digestive system haven't fully develop.
 
Sharena, i pun tak tau normal ke tak. Tapi wen i tanye those mum yg BF anak dorang, they say its normal. In fact normally will poo abt 8times daily! Then the poo also still watery and grainy. I pon tak tau la. Nie yg dorang kate. Cos previously tak pernah BF si Adam.

Yr doter 7Nov, same la like my dad!
happy.gif
 
Zu, don't worry. It is normal for them to poo after almost every feed when they're on BM. My 2 boys pon macam gitu. They poo-ed less in the 3rd month or so. And lesser still after FM was introduced.

I never tried adding nestum to their feeds because of the reason mentioned by lynzi. In fact I only introduced solids to the boys when they turn 6 months old, as advised by PD.
 
Sharena, when did u start mixing nestum for your gal?

My BM drying up ah. Tried to pump every 3 hours and latch him on often pun does not seem to work. So no choice...have to supplement him with FM.

Do u gerls know which FM is good? Rite now i'm using enfalac but I'm thinking of trying another brand.
 
lynzi
i tak ingat lah bila i campurbut because my girl drinks Friso, they have their cereal, frisocreme so i added that to her milk. Tak salah 6 mths jugak ah.

To me friso is good... a lot of my friends are also on friso.

With my girl pun my BM dried up after 3 mths. I think i didn't pump constantly. I can't seem to latch her on cos she gets very impatient so i supp with FM. After 4 mths she's fully on FM.
 
Feeding & pooping:
Well as far as I know, breast-fed babies tend to poop more as BM is easily digested. Saarah used to poop after every feed. And its like Zu described, bit grainy like mustard colour. Babies who are fed FM tend to poop once every 2-3days.


Zu,
Alah...I bawak 4 keluar OK...you shd be OK too what
happy.gif
Its the psychological barrier lah...I went thru that too before. After the 1st outing, felt better & then merayap here & there wt the kids by myself.

Your Sarah sama lah like my Saarah...cannot put in the stroller. In fact, I carried her in my arms (I hated using the sling!) for abt 2mths then after, she was OK wt the stroller.

Lynzi,
Congrats on your successful attempt on bathing! And thanks for the advice too...

Oh abt adding cereal to the milk, pls dont do that until your baby is at least 6mths old because your baby's stomach is not developed enough to digest the nestum
happy.gif
Will cause weight probs when he is older tau...

Do you take supplements like Fenugreek to help boost your supply?
 
hi cn i join??

juz saw tis thread....

im a 1st time mummy, had a cute baby boy on 20-oct-07. i had a very eased delivery--bud mestilah i rase sakit2 bud bearable lah.
no epi normal assisted wif vacuum.

stayin in north area. n im sahm.
tapi tk selalu dok uma. merayap je wif bb, hehe

its been a VERY wonderful experience to b a mummy!! im so blessed n thankful!

despite those sleepless nites,black round eyebags dat i had i love taking care of my bb! n yeah im taking care of him alone--oni hubby does help!

bud yeah, i admit dat, taking care of baby not an easy task ya. bud i stil njoy it.

btw wana ask mummies here, ade tk sape disini gv birth normal wif vacuum?

aldo its been 2mths plus, my bb's head is like pointed still--on the left side..

NOT obvious though bud wen i touch n feel it, thers like a bump..

anyone has the same prob?

is tis goin to b permanent?
 
WELCOME MUMMYCITA! CONGRATS to you too!

From what i know it takes time for the baby's head to go back to normal but dun worry lah it will! InsyaAllah.How did you feel bathing the baby the first time? Dah ada experience ke?

Anyway first few mths memang senang nk jaga, i feel. I love to carry them and let them sleep in my arms...

Sasha
I was thinking of buying fenugreek but then in the end i didn't..time tu mcm dah tak larat and also takut it didn;t work.
 
Sasha, the fenugreek thing really work ke?
Org ade cakap tapi takut bli supplement nie tak makan, buang duit aje. Neway, sblom i pump tu, i togok air byk2. So far i pump ade la dlm 7-8oz. Kalo makan fenugreek lagi boost milk supply ape salahnye.
happy.gif


Welcome mummycita!! For my first chld, i had normal delivery w vacuum. Neway org tua2 kate nanti pointed so ape i buat is i gosok2 kepala dia in a circular motion. Macam u cupped the palm then gosok kepala dia. Now alhamdulilah kepala dia v round!
happy.gif
 
hi Sharena (sexymumma)

thanks! 1st time bathing baby how eh?
fun lah!! hehe dulu i jaga my sis lah dats y i noe how to. lagipon nwdays tk susah, nw hosp provide classes for new parents.(bud i neva go hehe)

hmmm... tk susah n tk senang juga jaga baby ni.. i wld say sederhana. cos my baby ni kn tkle jauh dgn i... nk dukong jek.. yelah nama pon mummy dia sorang je yg jaga kn.

kadang nk terkucil kene tahan seh...

hehe
 
Mummycita,
Welcome on board! Glad you are enjoying your motherhood experience so far
happy.gif


I dont think its gonna be permanent. You try massage his head in circular motion once or twice a day. Lagipun, at this stage their heads are still quite soft & fragile so dont worry lah.

Zu,
Personally fo rme fenugreek helps...but biasalah, kalau makan-makan ni sometimes I lupa. But I also togok lots of fluids...& before I pump or latch baby on, I make myself big cup of Milo.

I believe in demand=supply...so the more you express & latch baby, the more supply you shd get.

Part reason for low supply cld be stress over the whole BF issue. Also mayb baby is not latched on properly either. Those are my opinion aje lah
happy.gif
 
Sasha, okie. Will try to buy that kalo pass by GNC. Actually i nak aje stop BF cos Sarah dun latch. Even dia latch, sakit. Cos i rasa dia abit 'nipple confusion'. Da kasi puting, kasi bottle. End up bile latch sakit seh! I asyik pump aje every 3hrly. Penat jgk. Sampai sore tau nipples!!
sad.gif
tapi milk supply ade nk stop sayang pulak.
happy.gif


mummycita, in my opinion kan, jgn asyik dukong aje baby u. Nanti da naik 'shiok' bukan nak terkucil je susah. Nak buat apepun tak bole.
happy.gif
 


Zu,
i pon tk tahu n i dun biasakn.
selalu nye lah org dtg or jmp mum dad n mil dorang for sure mesti dukong nye! even my bb is assleep!
