oic...i onli explore ocean...
10 yr +++ ago ming ming but now the become a ghost town dun knwo wat happen.....
so cheong choon is at same building rite?
oic this one i supporting for past few yr for cosmetcs supply
so crowded everytime but glad they manage to pull through as 10yr +++ ago the shop was ghost town
ive been bottle-feeding my girl with EBM for past 5 wks and sometimes im tempted to give up too. it's so tiring to pump & wash the pump accessories every 3 hours. i feel like a robot. im also considering mixing FM into breast milk for her night feed to last her longer thru the night. but i will feel "guilty" if i do that though technically there's nothing wrong with feeding her FM. i guess when the going gets tough, think of your baby and what is good for her. at least that is what kept me going till now.
for a period of time, my baby spits-up after every single feed till the point i got so fed-up i shouted at her. then my baby stared back at me with her eyes wide and i felt so guilty after that. =( then i realise it's cos she's overfed. when i see her dozing off at 3 oz, i kept waking her up to finish the 4th oz. she finishes them but spits-up after that. when i stopped at the point she fell aslp, maybe 3 to 3.5 oz, she seems full enough and doesnt spit-up. another thing is not to change her nappies or let her lie flat right after her feeding.
i wasnt able to burp her too until i tried another method which is like in the attachment. she usually burps with this method. be careful to hold the chin and not throat.
when my baby hiccups, i give her some warm water, maybe about 0.5 to 1 oz. the hiccups will stop after that.

you are right, we have so many errands to accomplish and before you know it, baby is up again. it's not easy but these tiring periods will soon be history before we know it.so like what you say, try enjoying the experience. hee!
as for advise given by relatives and friends, just listen with an open mind and decide for ourselves. i know what you mean. sometimes i feel that they make us more confuse and less confident as a parent. sigh...
Yes exactly, mrs_eg and LittleLady! I feel as if I am answerable to all these people who are trying to tell us how things should be done. Worse is when one person says one thing and another person says the opposite - who do you please?? In the end, hubby and I decide that the best way to handle all this is with a smile, thank them for their suggestions, and WE decide what we want to do. Afterall, we are the ones who are bringing up the child - for better or for worse, we have to be responsible for our actions and bear whatever consequences too. Let's keep our cool! Trying to remember that everyone just wants what they think is best for the baby~
Thanks for the info - yeah I will probably bring her to the ped next week for a review and then will ask about the jab also. Just concerned about bringing baby out to public places before she gets her immunisation and risk her catching some virus. But so excited about wanting to bring her out! hehe~
I think it's normal for men to feel quite helpless,my hubby also said he feels that way - even we mummies do sometimes, especially when my girl cries for no apparent reason, really don't know how to pacify her - important thing is not to discourage him, let him try and both learn the ropes and work together as a team. See the humorous side of things - so what if she poops on your pants because the diaper was not worn properly? Just have a good laugh and learn how to do things differently the next time. Have fun experimenting!

So! Now all the September mummies have been mummies for a while~ let me ask you all this: what is the most useful thing you have purchased for your baby?
For me, the most useful item is the cheapo $29 netted bouncer - my baby's favourite place for naps! And it is so practical in this hot weather and easy to wash, compared to all the other expensive rockers and bouncers that we have tried - I have Baby Bjorn, Chicco and McClaren hand-me-down ones but all cannot compare to this cheap bouncer! I find this so amusing!

I wanted to mention my 3 days old yaolan/sarong (ya i gave in n decided to try it out...), but i think it is too early to comment... Baby does sleep a tiny bit longer but if compared to carrying the baby, my gal still sleep longest if im carrying her... Tiring!
I think my most frequently used item have got to be the olden days cloth diapers... So useful... Use it as blanket, swaddler, bath towel, .... No time to bath? Put it over ur shoulder b4 carrying my baby... I line it on the stroller too b4 laying her down... It is also easy to wash n quick to dry too...

Haha hey I bought a yaolan 3 days ago too! Seems to work quite well but am trying not to depend too much on it so we still let baby sleep on the bed or cot in the day. Doesn't seem to make a big difference to length of nap - just that it is cooler to sleep in the yaolan.
Your girl sleeps when you carry her.. You mean she wld wake when you put her down?

especially one the cot...
if yaolan... sometimes she will sometimes wont.... still monitoring...

mrs_eg,
you stay around sengkang too? me too!!
i am not sure if it works for you, but my girl sleeps better when she is placed face down.
nightingale,
same here, i think the cloth nappy is cool...can be use for anything..like what you mentioned...over the shoulder, as a cool blanket...
come to think of it...i think the most useful item will be OUR BREAST PUMPs...we use it every 3-4 hours interval each day. haha.

hmm... agree with the nappy cloth... use them for loads of things... even use it for daily change of crib overlay. I think the sterilizer is the pure winner for me! and of cos my carrier is my life saver when my boss refuse to sleep... i will jus slip her in and zzz-land for her and free hands for me!

once we went out on the stroller around hougang mall. after feed, she slept from 3pm all the way till the moment we got home which was 9pm!!! hahaha... we were all joking abt how much she enjoy going out tat she would miss her feed!

Very interesting - mine too! At first we were quite worried about lying her on her front, but she really does sleep better and longer! She doesnt startle as frequently in this position. We also lie her on her side to pat her bumbum when we wanna put her to sleep sometimes.
How are your babies' sleeping patterns at night now? Sometimes my girl is able to take her last feed at 1am and wake for the next feed at 6am for 2 nights - then sometimes she wakes every 2 hours to feed, fuss, or change diaper. @.@ Any tips or tricks to make her sleep longer throughout the night?
Mecole, which carrier are you using? I am using the Ergo sport but my girl seems to get very warm inside and would tend to fuss a bit, even in an air-conditioned shopping mall. Or maybe I didn't adjust her snugly enough against my body?
