Almost fainted from hunger .... My baby has been fussing this morning. Cry for milk every 1 to 1.5 hrs. She is tired kept rubbing eyes but dun sleep. Wants to be carried once put on bed cry. Pee on my bed coZ diaper leaks. No time to eat or go toilet . Now is a time I really wish there is helper helping me out. 1 adult : 1 baby ratio doesn't work at times!

Baby,
Think I will get $4k cash from baby bonus. But so far, only received $1k. Yes, different from CDA account. CDA account must be opened with OCBC/SCB only.
Gan,
I agree with you. 1 adult : 1 baby ratio doesn't work! Sometimes, don't even have time to pee and poo, not to mention to sit down for lunch.

Call mcys regarding baby bonus. The form for cda account also include the cash bonus portion. Did u submit yr bank statement with the account number? Tats the acct the money will be deposited in.
Gan,
Liz is right. My #1 was super fussy, I carry her in sling/carrier almost whole day. Can go toilet and also eat with her tied to me.

panda,
oh dear, yr parents also not understanding huh. errmmm, why not for now tell them when yr 2nd maid comes , u'll handle the bbs yrself with the maids. they can go home also.
then slowly slowly start enlisting their help here and there again. i'm sure they won't say no to u once things hv cooled down over some time.
my mum also once in awhile will say things like y i dun ask my mil to help since she's not working. but i tell her directly it's cos i prefer her to help me cos she's my own mother mah. at the end of the day, she will still help me

Pandwife, breath in breath out. My parents also like that when aunt make trouble, my parents didn't help but add more problem. You need to relax. I know not easy but we have to relax

So angry with myself just split my bm..
my mum is waiting for mil to say she wanna go back.. coz mil has been complaining to everybody abt me n my parents... if we ask her to go back, she will go bad mouth to the whole world tht i chase her out of her son's house. mil is not leaving coz she is waiting for us to ask her to go...so she can openly leave her responsibilities. :S
blissful, i agree w singapoh.. stress = slim! hahaha.. auto slimming svc..
singapoh, i hope can get good help too.. i realised the current one is v gd w housework..but too young n lacking exp with handling bbs.. dunno if its i m paranoid or wht..i dun dare let her handle bb yet. i only let her play with them when they r in the cot or rocker..

Poor panda... The nickname fits u perfectly mann!
Really hope second name can help u so that u dont need to rely on the two mothers... Else long run u will go crazy!
If not send yr bbs to infant centre when they are older..
U can try by letting yr maid feed the bb... Carry the bb to yr maid with her sitting... Then pass her the milk bottle.. Guide her along with u beside her... This way she can learn and u wont scare she will drop the bb cos she is sitting down and u are beside her.. This is how i train my maid...
Then slowly let her carry the bb standing up.. Of cos with u standing beside her.. When she is confident enough u can slowly let her carry the bb while the bb is lying down... She will be a very good help when yr hands are full...

Panda,
I agree with Baby. First u must learn to relax a bit. Let her handle yr babies.
Both my maids are young and single. The older one is really good with my twins. She can soothe them when they cry
My new one looks pretty comfortable with babies too.
Btw how old is yr maid?

Panda: a great pity we could not meet up but anyhow i hope things will get better.
How about asking HB to "gently and subtly" retire ur MIL? Ask him to say sthg like getting her "to go bk home and rest after tiring out for two months...since maid is here she shd rest" kinda thing... then she would not feel chased out?
Give her an appreciation ang bao for her effort and say will call her to consult her if need be (make her feel she has values and still respected?)
I think with her going, things will be at peace more...
Pls dun brood over this ok... do take care of ur health and mental well being!

singapoh,
there are 2 branches right...apparently there is one at katong... i assume Madeline is from Hougang?
BB Jo: gd idea... im gonna pop soon and Im still contemplating coz its a huge decision to make... so probably after confinement nanny leaves, I will see how I can cope alone at home with the baby...
BTW mommies,
what are the general scope of Confinement nannies?
Do they cook for hubby and wash clothes or just take care of baby solely?
