linsaw, violet,
ya, a bit MIA, cos bz at work. 50% turnover in my branch! actually only 4 of us then 2 leaving mah... linsaw, ur eyes better?
xeno,
hooray for u! bb aden is home!!! ur milk supply is good! try to go on TBF... jia you!
JP, welcome! if ur boy has big appetite, just keep him latched on. mayb BF more frequently at shorter intervals?if he overdrinks also not good, i feel.
HAIR LOSS
me still losing loads of hair. everytime bathe will see loads of hair, and also whenever i comb my hair. so sad.... thought it will stop after confinement then waited till 4 mths, but now still dropping like nobody's business!!!!! argh... normal???
MTDT,
are there bubbles in the poo? then most likely it's wat foreverfriends honey said, too much foremilk. foremilk high in lactose, causing gas and greenish poo. need to feed fully on 1 side then offer the other side. if he doesnt take the other side, and it's uncomfy, pump out.
i also had this problem, then i started checking my milk after he feeds. i squeeze out a bit of the BM at the areola and am satisfied when the BM is thick and not so translucent. usually foremilk at the start is more translucent.
SWIMMING
me brought my boy swimming yest! wore the huggies disposable swimpants. ya, as wendy (cpj) said, it's not cheap wor. i made him wear a pair of swimming trunks on the outside also. went during noon so weather was warm, for about 25 mins nia. he loved it so much! kept screaming and screaming (in joy of course, haha!).

Joleena,
Can go punggol marina but see my earlier post to wendy :
"To enter Punggol Marina is foc but charge for use of the pool. I know they charge but can't remember exactly how much? Not sure if it's $2.50 or $3 each. I wanted to bring my gal go swimming oso but find the charges too ex 'cos the pool is bery small nia. "

Beluga,
u so poor thing, swamped with work now.
btw, the hair loss is normal.... so scary hor? But dun worry la, will grow back one, esle u will see a lot of balding women rite?
Try not to go swimming in the noon sun, too strong for bbies. Go late afternoon or b/w noon is better and remember the sun block.

VB & Jen - Thanks!
beluga - Thanks!
I wish I could. However, when my DS finally sleeps, he will sleep for a min. of 3 hours. So, I will just monitor and change accordingly lor. Hopefully things will get better. So sorry to hear about your hair loss. Heard from lots of new mommies that its normal and expected.
***
I am so worried coz my BB don't know how to stop eating when he is full. He will suckle and suckle. After 15-20 mins on each breast, I will normally burp him. However, he doesn't want to burp at all. He will struggle like no tomorrow. If all else fail, I will try to sit him up for at least 20 mins and he will still struggle. Hence, he will turn into a merlion and vomit at least 1/2 of the content out. I am so worried...what should I do?
Thanks!

You can go there take a look la. If dun like dun enter the pool lor, anyway free entry to the club mah.
JP,
Welcome, but hor I prefer if you address me as violet la. can? tks ar.
BB vomit?
Dun worry oso.... my gal oso difficult to burp last time, then will regurgitate after that. 1 day dunno hv to change her clothes how many times. I so worry esp at nite scared she choke on the vomits.
Put yr palm at his back and rub in circular motion. Not sure if you get wat i mean, this can burp bb too.
Actually my gal's 1st PD told us it is better that bb regurgitate but I forgot the reason liao, 'cos my boy now has no problem burping.

Joleena, usually we will bring our son to safra club to swim.. can try there but i cannot remember how much to pay for the usage.....
not all supermarkets sell the disposable swim diapers.. think only certain cold storage outlets and carrefour sells them....
JP, my younger son also like that... though he is already coming to 5 months, he still dun know when he is full.. once i latch him he will keep on drinking.. but usually i will only latch him 1 side for maybe 30 minutes or so.... he also will regurgitate when we burp him at about 1.5 months old...
was quite worried cos he will puke out quite a lot of milk.. unlike his elder brother.. so when i asked the PD, she says its a passing phrase.. and now he is better liao....

Hi Everyone.. wau so many posts after 1 day liao...
I rem when my son was 5mths old, he also puke a lot and don like me to burp him. But as Wendy (cpi) mention, its only a passing phase la... Now he knows how to sit, after i feed him his milk, i put him on sitting position and he can burp on his own after a while.
BTW, I'm going Hong Kong with my husband in mid Aug. So excited! Have not go out for a tour for such a long time.
Wkend is still so long ahead.
Hope its here soon.

MTDT, ya, i also agree w Honey. It's not the time, it's how much your breast is emptied. My boy was not efficient in emptying so i had to keep massaging. i even resorted to hand expressing some BM out then latching him on. but as he grew, he became better at emptying.
HAIR LOSS
sigh, tks for the consolation. i just hope it stops cos the amt of hair lost is scary.
joleena
i saw toys r us selling the disposable swimpants.
violet,
i brought him during noon cos he wore only trunks leh. not whole body suit. so i KS, scared he catch a cold. i dun have sun screen. which brand is good?
wen2gal,
i love HK food! yum yum! but a bit more ex than s'pore food though. aug is humid and warm leh. i went last aug when preggie in 2nd trimester. wah piang, the heat was unbearable, prob cos i was preggie. be careful of the air-con water dripping from above when u walk in the streets. enjoy your trip!!!!

I agree its not the timing too. My girl had green watery stools too. Then i realised that i was producing more foremilk than hindmilk. I latched her on for 2 feeds on the same breast to make sure she empties it.
Wendy
You're so lucky! I haven't been on a holiday since 3yrs ago. Recently i wanted to bring the kids to HK but my hubby says waste of money cos they are still too young to enjoy disneyland.
Enjoy your trip!

BTW, what does POTLUCK stand for? Do I have to bring any food? I should be be to make it with hubby and Titus if happen crops up..
Another thing, do you know if we need to sign up as member with Punggol Marina if we want to use the pool? Or just pay like entrance fee to the pool?

How do I forward my details to Jen?

Where is your daughter studying? My son is presently in nursery in St Ann Church.

MTDT,
bb on TBM should be producing mustard-colour poo. it's watery and my boy was pooing like after every feed. and it tends to leak out from the waistband and the leg area.
we all produce foremilk and hindmilk. i feel that if you have let-down, bb gets more hindmilk. so must relax when feeding. i used to not experience let-down but now i feel it's a tickling sensation at the nipple and bb will draw in long sucks when there's a let-down.
also, if u feed more frequently with shorter intervals, ur BM will be richer in fat.
Furlover,
tks for offering your place. will help to clean up...
violet,
i am using california bb calendula cream. i find it good cos my boy used to have scaly, dry skin but after using, it's much better. mayb i'll try their sunscreen. i ordered other products in one of the BPs but it seems the essential oils are flammable so kena stuck at US customs.
welcome Jackiejon!
joleena,
then where did u bring Javier for swim on sun?
koalarie,
i also agree w violet. should not feed bb cereal b4 4 mths. i read from a mag that it's not good to mix cereal in FM or BM and give to bb in a bottle as it MAY present a choking hazard. dunno how true. i think give cereal only when XT is ready. if at 4 mths she still not rejecting FM, then continue giving FM. milk is the main food for bb till 1yo.
bb on TBM should be producing mustard-colour poo. it's watery and my boy was pooing like after every feed. and it tends to leak out from the waistband and the leg area.
we all produce foremilk and hindmilk. i feel that if you have let-down, bb gets more hindmilk. so must relax when feeding. i used to not experience let-down but now i feel it's a tickling sensation at the nipple and bb will draw in long sucks when there's a let-down.
also, if u feed more frequently with shorter intervals, ur BM will be richer in fat.

xl,
How is Aden? I hope you are coping well.
Can undetstand yr frustration, I would too if cannot bathe.
I started bathing on the day I discharge at the hospital.... After that I bathe everyday with the 'herb water'. Cannot tahan leh, so hot and dirty. I dun wan to use the herbs la but no choice leh, to stop my mum fm nagging...
Then after that use hot water daily. Wash hair every other day I think.
I know some hb dun like to join in la, mine oso wat. But I will convince him to go unless he has some other arrangements.
No choice about the ge tai la, got to tolerate lor. I hate it when all the ashes starts flying around and into my house oso
