girl80,
I love your girls' 2nd pic...They got the "Huh what's up" look...
So cute...
They have very fair skin too...Pretty...
DM,
ws is so pretty too!!! So chubby chubby when she was a baby and look at her cheeks!!!...now big liao, I think just nice, she looks tall for a 3 year old...Pretty Pretty!
Jerlynn is just lucky her double eyelids are visible since birth. My younger bro who also has nice double eyelids now only started to be visible when he started schooling, we used to thought he has single eyelids...so maybe ws's dbl eyelids will show themselves soon...
afcai,
huh? i never bring Jerlynn to barber shop to shave her hair leh...I went to hair salon run by a lady who only cuts children's hair. Shaver not sharp for normal salon? I never heard off, but herad off those who gave excuses cos they don't dare shave Newborns' hair...keke..I have a couple of friends who are stylists at reputable salons, and they also don't shave for babies, as they feel it's not easy and also the parents are very particular and mostly always afriad they will hurt the babies...
Jerlynn loves to play with her tongue, don't know why this bad habit, sticking out, twisting, rolling her tongue very often, sleeping also must stick out tongue. I remember the nurses at SCN will come over to me and tell me "Oh u r the mother of this girl who loves to stick out tongue ah? So cute leh ur baby" Hahaha, dunno is to be proud of this anot...LOlzzzz...
Hmmmmm My MIL says my hubby also same habit when he was a baby, what an inheritance...!
Re: Doze off feeding
My hb helps take one or two feeds a day, but middle of the night feeds usually is me...see her drink milk like hypnotising to sleep de leh, i also dunno why...
Sam,
Congrats in being a Mummy for your triplets now!!! Don't be sad seeing the tubes and monitors on them, we have all seen them on our babies, and aren't they doing well now despites lots ups and downs? Always remember they are fighters and they will fight this through with God's love.
Losing weight:
Don't worry too much about it, all babies lose weight initial days after birth, they are sheding off the water. The nurses at NICU has re-assured me that after they shed the water, they will take on the calories better when they are being fed, then they will put on fast soon...
kath,
welsome and congrats in being Mummy to your twins too! i'm sure they will do well too!
Breastmilk:
Try your best, whatever amount you have is all precious to your girls, even if not enuff, you can supplement with FM but try don't stop giving...
Maykel,
Stay happy, don't keep thinking you are tired and feel miserable...One day, I was so tired and feeling miserable too and Jerlynn was real cranky, wanna me to carry her and walk around the house, and if i stop and sit down, she will cry. This was so unusual and I was really sleepy myself and pek chek, I shouted at her, then she stop crying and gave me a kelian " I'm sorry" face...from then on, she now gets cranky, no matter how tired, I tell myself not to feel tired and started losing it on her...They don;t erally mean to irritated us...Haha
Teats and Bottles:
My preference, Pigeon bottles and teats, cheap and good. Hope the speech therapist can recommend better on this...
Slimming:
I had natural birth, but I not dreaming of slimming down yet, now keep eating and eating to established more milk, I think that's what's important right now...Sleep also no time liao, whr got time exercise also...
But today just went OSIM, and MIL bought massage chair...she is giving me the Utrek, USurf, Isqueeze & Iecologic that comes free with it...so maybe can exercise abit with the first two items... Though these things are free but I find she very good to me leh, she can actually give it to her daughter but she gave it to me...keke like it's my Mother's Day gift...
Really not thinking of slimming down but need to exercise as I feel so unhealthy with all the eating...
hair Salon:
I brought Jerlynn a hair salon at Chai Chee at blk 20+ near my MIL place, this lady boss who runs the place used to work for a Children's Salon at Parkway Parade, next to Kiddy Palace. She is very good at cutting children's hair, and she shaved Jerlynn's hair so swift and gentle that Jerlynn slept throughout the session...
This lady is recommended by My MIL who brings all her grandchildren to this lady for cuts...so Jerlynn cannot be an exception, luckily the lady is good!
I shaved Jerlynn at corrected age 1 month exactly and which is also her actual age 4th month...
Sleep for BM:
More sleep produces more milk, I agree...
Fishes also helps, these 2 days I tried drinking Fatty milk (not Low-Fat ones), it helps also...
afcai,
U saw someone who can pump 400-500ml??? WOW, wonder how hard her breasts must be when engorged!!! Kekekeke
You are so hardworing in pumping, got schedule timing too...me getting lazier, dragging and dragging longer hours...Completed 4 months of BFeeding liao and now going to 5th month...Hope I can pass the 8 month's mark as i aimed for..
Jas,
Super mummy also with so much milk! Kekeke
I also remember the doctor told me they won't start bottle-feeding for Jerlynn yet, then next moment we saw old nurse stuck a "pacifer" teat on her and say she will tell doctor Jerlynn can suck and will let her try next day...True enuff, they really are so experienced and next day, Jerlynn is happily sucking...Thank God for NUrses too!!! After tasting her milk for the first time, Jerlynn never looked back...
Isn't Xavier a darling, he must be real happy tasting the milk. What bright eyes he has!
