Oh dear me...

nickit..there's nothing much you can do..except close one eye...or..stand up for your rights. It really depends on you.

If i were in your situation..i would first close one eye..but then again..we have certain limitations.

Try reasoning with your hb..on his good day..and tell him what you are facing right now. Of coz..these must be done in a very nice way..or else it may end up in an argument or cold war.

I know how it feels when ppl commend you that you are still bf Even that day when I brought Xander to his new paed..the paed said well done that i'm still bf him..

Staying on your own is much better! We stay on our own though...my parents live 2 floors below us..kekeek..but..they don't come up to interfere..unless..we invite them over for dinner. Most of the time..it's me who goes to their house..and spent most of my time there as my mom takes care of my son when we are at work (good planning, right? Just drop son off before going to work and pick him up after).

You'll learn how to do house chores and stuff..for me, my mom is a housewife..so she did most of the housework..and we would help occasionally over the weekends and holidays; but she does most of it.

Nowadays, I do things myself and i'll delegate to my hubby. Of coz i can't expect him to do it at his own initiative but if I delegate, he'll do it. On the other hand, he cooks so it's not so bad.

It will take awhile to adjust, but you'll make it.

Hahahhah! A guy friend told me this "You can never domesticate a man" LOL! so true! Domesticated men are rare species.

My hb commented that I always give him instructions..kekee.how not to? Work won't be done and can't expect me to be the one doing everything as I work 5 and 1/2 days..my only rest day is Sunday..and that also is for housework.

hahahahha...true true..

I can go on and on..but i try to remind myself about the good things he did without me asking .

My dad is a traditional chinaman. When he married my mom, he told her that his wife must stay at home and take care of the house and kids. He was also brought up that sons don't do anything at home. Even till now..he doesn't even make his own cup of Milo...it's either made by my mom or by us daughters. So...it's really the upbringing.

I have a gf whose husband is just like my dad...and she does complains to me but I told her there's nothing much she can expect as it was the upbringing. However, if u may just give him small instructions to help (while we are doing something)...he may help out.

Yes...am lucky that my mom is just downstairs.

Hahahha! don't remind me of the mess...but since he enjoys cooking and we have an agreement that if he cooks, i clean.

urmm..could it be the stretch marks? I know i have some on my breast.

Nickit..where you from lar..till timing is different?

I've never experienced that before...maybe because he's working hard at suckling hence the sweat?

hehehe..nickit..it's ok..just be watchful if he just gets choke because drinking from the bottle - the milk comes out faster than direct from our nipple.

yups..that's true...most importantly is the colour and consistency of the poo. Fully bf baby'es poo is usually mustard colour with seedy consistency.

a guide on baby's poop. If you aren't sure..it's always good to go back to your doctor.

I think don't need to see a pediatric surgeon...just a normal pediatric should be fine first.

If she's behaving normal and not feeling uncomfortable..it should be ok. My son's poo schedule do change once a while. Since she's also on fm..have tried giving water?

How old is your baby?

hmmm..i've never encounter. Maybe you can just check is temperature if it's low? You can also bring it up with your doctor about this.

Another thing..if possible...before going to the paed with your hubby..check if your paed is also pro-BF..you may be surprised if the paed is not really into BF or doesn't know much about BF.

Sigh..know what you mean..well..probably you can tell your GPs nicely, it was her choice to give FM and it's your choice to BF...either way it will not cause any problem to the children.

I just hate it when ppl judge us coz we choose to BF...we ourselves try not to judge them when they choose FM.
