sbux, mayb u can test try ur freezer wif some water... c if there's some particular place which is not cold it's my bright idea... hit me

syd, did u go to war for this subforum?

well, this is a bit odd... i dunno if it's growth spurt or teething... he's napping only for 30mins to 1hr... stay awake for abt an hr then feed for abt 30 mins n nap... repeat over n over even during the nite... if mil, she'll force him back to sleep... any ideas? it's been 3 days now...

oh syd, u need oxygen tank? ya... just a mth younger than urs :)how long did urs last? btw "auntie" come n visit liao?

sigh... my mil ask me to throw away my ebm... again... will clear them up before she complains again... i only leave 6oz in the freezer... the weather's so hot n to everyone, remember to drink LOTSSSS of water~!!!! it's killing me~!

phythia, ya lo... will finish it off by this weekend lo... i dunno wat to expect next ... 4th mth coming soon...

ijnek, thanks ya... be the force be wif me (since i'm able to joke, i'm still sane rite?)

so here's few questions for the weekend:

mil just told me if i continue bf, my breast will shrink to flat chest... anyone? hit me wif all ur might coz i wanna laugh at this one...

phythia, since ur boy is elder than mine, do u give him solid food first then ebm or the other way round?

i dunno how to cook so how to cook porridge for his first solid food ya? n how to puree food?

my boy can have 2-3 times of hiccup a day... since it's still within 6 mths, do u exclusively bf or give him water to cure his hiccup?

another question for phythia (), when ur boy was teething, how u go thru it? did he bite? did u give him something?

n feel free to ask more questions coz i oso wanna know

qarezma, of coz u can chipped in... i welcome any kind of post

as for the breast i know la... but shrink? as for hiccup, u just let ur baby to hiccup until it goes away?

ijnek, dunno le... ask ur wife c if she face the same prob y mils r obsessed? then how abt u? still luv ur wife's breasts? do u think of it as babies' food?

phythia, sbux, ur hb dun enjoy ur breast(s) anymore ar? i dun feel a change in cup size le unless terribly engorged...

another question is anyone tried bringing baby on board? i may need to bring baby on a plane somewhere in june... he'll b abt 8 mo... should b ok rite? i read that to release the pressure in his ear, bf or give him something to drink so he swallow...

eXPeri3nc3, yo bro, long time no c le... how did u manage to find me here? time really flies eh... it still seems like yesterday that i was giving birth the other CC thread pun sudah 4 yrs i think

phythia, oh all hb feel the same issit? my hb still touch them but i think not like last time coz we engorged, making the breast hard to touch bf on the plane is one thing coz hb dun wanna buy the seat... if so i should buy poncho lo?

ijnek, yerr... so lucky u (n ur wife ) sometimes it's not us that the breast is off limits... it's the hb sometimes thinks its for babies... i remember someone said his hb will need to call his wife mummy for some reason associated wif the breast...

phythia, no la... wat i meant was two seat together side by side... me n hb... but mana tau he bought the seat lol... but baby registered wif him... he totally forgot to check the baby should registered wif me... by that time my boy should b under solid food training... so dunno wat will happen... still bring bottle i think coz need to drink water ma... unless that time he can take sippy

qarezma, it's always the case rite... even in the dramas... mil vs dil war... mil did bf (she said) but i doubt for long... that no one help her take care of kid n baby... so she had to do everything on her own including housework... so when they can eat no bf liao... she even said she just put up wif the engorgement n let it leaked... c me pumping like eeeewwwww...

anyway last week i was saying my boy was waking up after 1-2 hrs of sleep, awake for 1 hr then feed for 30 mins... the cycle remains even until nite... if it's growth spurt will it last after 1 week?

phythia, qarezma, ok... then still 2 more mths to go before he's 6mo... so let's c how things go... another thing is he drools a lot... teething? or just his stage of development? i just feel worried la that he's not getting enuf sleep that's all...

phythia, i'm not very sure coz i was tired at nite... i sleep before he does... so sometimes i wake up the 2nd time coz he was playing wif himself n his hand hit me... then i baru tau he haven't sleep... morning time i try to give him at least 1.5hrs of nap... i dunno if he sleeps too much in the morning or compensating his sleep... at his age, he should b stay awake as long as he could no?

ijnek, can meh? if the passenger bought the seat then it's a 50-50 chance... but anyway hb bought the seats liao... just got one more seat near window... if got ppl then how to bf? hb won't allow too... but if i bf oso no one knows... like yesterday... i bf covered wif shawl he oso dunno oh ya i wanna complain jusco tebrau... the place sooo big only got one i repeat one baby room which is at 3rd floor in the toy section... disappointed... unlike jusco bukit indah... every level on each end got a baby room... i dunno abt jusco permas n tmn u... ijnek's wife been there?

ijnek, jusco tebrau i know... only one in the whole building... i still prefer jusco bukit indah where they have a baby room at each end of each level

ok so how do i tell i'm not producing enuf? my boy is bouncy n happy... but catnapping abt 2-4 times a day... each last abt 30 mins to 1 hr... sometimes if i caught him open his eyes i'll try to hoax him back to sleep... then he'll get another 30 mins to 1 hr sleep... he dun cry a lot except wanna sleep n hungry... now i nurse him when i c him rubbing his eyes... will he b too relying on the feeding to sleep then? or my supply is not enuf for him? sometimes i play the ipod for him n sometimes he can sleep 2 hrs straight... now i bf direct for abt 2-3 hrs interval... am i the only SAHM here? any WAHM?

guys, lemme take out some steam

to my horror, my in laws (yes fil n mil) just fed the baby durian~!! yes u heard me rite DURIAN... down goes my effort... mil added in jokingly said baby will like durian then ur milk next time... i dun find it funny tho... i really feel like i'm not the mum of the baby... everything is set by them n hb... y no one wanna listen to my opinion?? u want me to wake up early n i did... u want me to handwash baby clothes n lampin n i did... u said wanna put on lampin n i did... u want me to stop work n i did... wat else u guys want? seriously i now secretly wish i could move out asap... but it's not going to happen since i've hinted once... i really feel like breaking down~! serious~!

syd, thanks... ya just wanna let the steam out... my purpose is not to bash hb or the in laws coz every family has a different method n house rules... i was n still labelled as the princess... therefore i feel like i'm being treated like a 3 yo... coz after all, i'm the princess ma but can't u c that i'm scarifying for bb sake? or at least give me a space for raise my kids... u have ur own opinions n i have mine... wat's wrong wif mine? mum always gets the blame for not raising the kids well... so unfair... sigh... i've married to the one i luv n luv me too... so i should change rite? then shouldn't get a chance to grow up too?

ijnek, i think they're playing wif baby... i already not smiling n be sarcastic then ... anyway it was lucky it's just few 'bites' n no allergy... thank god... this isn't the first time... ah well... u know wat i wanna say...

i felt better coz hb brought me n baby out to (window) shopping yesterday... so i feel calmer... i din mention abt this coz i know it'll make hb feel sandwich again then led to another war... i just want baby to b under my nose whenever possible... his stomach already got so many weird stuff... i really wonder... sometimes i say this then they go noooooo... then when i say noooo they go nvm la is my instinct wrong?

qarezma, that was partially my decision coz i've always wanted to work at home... currently there's no work at home except for housework i stop work oso coz no one is going to care for the baby... so u know the rest of the story... the 'u' some r referring to hb... still... i'm still stress out...

qarezma, well the reason y i change to lampin is coz i'm not working anymore... scared we'll dive into financial prob... when i was working i can say it's my money abt in laws, they're the one who said to raise the kid on our own although i have the same idea but totally diff concept...

ijnek, i think the diff is u're the household head... of coz u can say like that... i'm married into the family coz i'm the bride not the groom... since we've chosen to b wif each other then we kenot regret our decision no? i assume ur kids r old enuf to understand punishment n rewards but for a 4mo? how to teach him to teach the elders?

ijnek, if someone in the house supports me n willing to stand up for me then my life would b so much easier rite?

today went to KK for baby's check up... he gain 0.8kg... quite small gain no? his last check up gained 1.2kg... he's 7.5kg now the nurse was praising for bf baby... i feel so proud
