Aww Meltie.. Hope Charlotte will be a good girl todae (better still from now on!).. I can't go over to help u cos im too far away at sengkang! Haha.. I can give u moral support though.. Jia you!
Todae I brought my little girl to babyspa at NEX! Before I was preggie I used to stand outside Harbourfront and PS branch watching bb swim.. Todae's my turn (or rather my girl's turn)! I suppose she enjoyed it cos though she din smile at all throughout the session, she din scream and fuss either! She screamed abit wen they put the neck float on but was ok once she's in e pool.. A bit stiff initially, then slowly kicking her legs and soon waving her hands in the water too! Such a joy watching her swim and kicking her chubby legs! And after the swim, she's fast asleep! Haha.. Now trying to convince hubby to let me sign up the package as it is a better deal.. But the stingy man say ex and say y not jus swim in our bath tub (i say nt deep enuff) or downstairs at the pool (i say water's too cold! Smemore got chlorine lor)..
Meltie, maybe u can try bringing Charlotte to the babyspa.. She will concuss after the swim! Haha..

I also put my bb down sleeping in her tummy sometimes when she fell asleep while latching lying on my tummy, tummy to tummy... But she wakes up will cry... Usually on her back she wakes up she won't cry... I think she feels v helpless in the tummy down position...

Yes dear neck strong.. She keeps trying to sit up which makes it difficult to carry her cause she ends up hunch backing. Hahaha!

if bb's head below the edge then u need insert cos bb might suffocate.. Yea the other leg straight it wont bend unless you change position.
Meltie maybe u can try lansinoh lanolin ointment on ur nipples? I had sore nipples when I nursed my elder boy last time and used it. Helps with healing. Also when I was not feeding I would use breast shells so that my nipples get to air instead of being pressed against the bra / breast pads. Aids healing too.
Lingz: do be careful when using the bumbo , if you do get it! there is a recall issue with it, cos some parents leave their babies in it unattended, and their babies fell out of the seat and knocked their heads... so never leave baby in it alone. but if you're next to it, watching tv or surfing the internet, I find it really useful!
meltie i have some sample pack of avent nipple cream do you wan it?? i can bring along on 19 see who else want...i have some left over...i may bring whatever i have and see if anyone wants it...
do anyone wanna buy a 2nd hand breast pump manual phillips brand...can sell it at $30 if anyone wan let me knw i bring it on 19....

Aww meltie. You've got it rough. But at least you're hanging in there!! Good job.
I have officially waved my white flag.
Please excuse my rant. I don't know who else to talk to.
Monster in law went on a holiday for four days and I had peace. She came back a few hours ago and it's like the Spartans at war in the house.
The minute she stepped through the door she picked on me I DON'T NNOW WHY.
She said "aiyo, I go few days only and Sophie looks terrible. What did you do to her?"
I still smiled and kept quiet. After that she scolded me for father in law's matters, scolded me for hubby's matters. Not even my problem! I still smile.
Until the point where she said "you can't even take care of her properly. You keep frightening her. And make her cough so badly" and she went on and on.
I literally snapped.
I told her the only thing that looks terrible is her own face. And that I'd there was anything my daughter is frightened of, then it must be her.
Then she went on saying nasty things to me. Hubby came home, stand there act blur. I flared up at him too. His mother scold him, he scold me, I scold his mother, blah blah.
My little precious has been such an angel. But when monster in law came home she started screaming. I already know she's very attached to me and not even her daddy can soothe her. Monster in law insisted my own baby is frightened of me.
So I let her cry. And I feel bad. But I didn't know what to do anymore. Whatever I did was wrong.
Hubby tried to make her stop crying for half an hour. No use.
I told her she so clever she so professional please go ahead and make her stop.
She carried baby for LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES return to us.
Then she dragged hubby into her room for tribal meeting. And she called up all his six aunties to complain about me.
I managed to calm my girl down. She's sleeping against my chest now. And I've decided that I really can't handle such high tension in the house everyday. I want to look for a full time nanny, I will go back to work as well as go back to renting a room outside.
I wanted to spend at least the first year with my girl. But I don't have the determination anymore. It's like swimming against a strong current everyday and I've lost my strength.
