Urm...if I were in your shoes..I'd stand by grounds. However, i think it's best nickit advise u as she has sort of going thru it.

phythia, y me?

shikuzika, u only have 2 choices:

1. stand by ur grounds n b firm
2. try to maintain harmony relationship i.e. half give way half stand ground

if u're in my situation, i'll try to tok to hb n c how he would respond... if he stands by his mum or getting tired of getting sandwiched, u're on our own... if ur hb is on ur side, get ur hb to tok to ur mum... regardsless if ur mil is displeased, u have ur hb support in the family... u need support or u fight it alone... or u can try taking ur bb somewhere out of sight e.g. ur room when he showed that reaction before she notice it... honestly, relationship between mil n dil is really complicated... we as dil wanna try to please or at least not to make trouble... but it's difficult coz after all we r younger generation... we should listen to elder... so it's ur choice: stand or fight lemme know wat u do next... i oso wanna learn from u... i'm serious...

Hehehe..it's best to ask someone who experienced it. . For me..I wd fight back after a certain extent.

here's some encouragement to shy nursing mummies, i've made my first public nursing in seoul garden i just wrapped my upper body wif shawl then popped the breast for baby i'm doing great rite? oh ya hb was wif me he was the one who's getting all the food while i waited for him to cook all the food... yummy...

Yaay!! Another milestone to add! Congrats!! Hb didn't say anything at all or gave u that look?

phythia, no la... baby was crying n toking aloud signaling he's sleepy... i admit i've made a bad habit to him - nurse to sleep... so he couldn't stand it so he asked if i wanted to nurse... n i hold it until the restaurant is not too crowded - after lunch hr... yippee yay yay~!

Aiya...I think most of us nurse our baby to sleep and use our breast to console them.

phythia, aiya... u know my situation ma... i try not to nurse him immediately when he wakes up from his sleep n c if he would sleep back on his own... sometimes he could sometimes he needs my help... but all this dun seems like a good idea to others

haha i have a mom and hubby who thinks baby still gets hungry every 2 hrs, even though baby is not 16 months!

how do i tackle that...

mom believes baby shd be fed with milk as often as possible.. hahah

qarezma, bf or fm? every 2 hrs sounds like bf mayb she just wants him to b fat n chunky

urrm...every 2 hrs is too often for milk as they should be getting their nutrition from food..milk is now supplementary.

try to google on milk schedule and show them?

sorry to chip in hor, another question.. my baby has been nursing lesser than before.. before she could take 3.5 oz of milk but now reduce to 2 oz.. is this normal? she's 5 weeks now.

also.. normally we try to let her sleep through the night without waking her for milk.. currently she can sleep 5 hours straight with the last feeding of 2 oz.. is this okay ar?

EnPoiNte, i think if she can sleep thru n no fuss or cry then it should b ok... mayb she just past her growth spurt...

how often does she feed? Is she putting on weight?

If she sleep throughout the night..kudos! some babies can sleep without waking up..how lucky!!

FM only leh... mom believes baby should drink drink and drink.. old thinking la..
and hubby oso.. if baby fuss at night due to teething, he says 'baby is growing up so need more milk, even at nite' i wanna laugh at it...

told them about the nutrition stuff.. but donno la.. they like still treat the toddler like a BABY

i pity my baby, sometimes due to hubby or mom he is forever with the bottle.. LOL

qarezma, ur situation is diff than mine... mine is should b food food food n not bottle anymore total opposite...

My girl also got the open mouth movement...
MIL said feed her..I feed formula.. so i said..formula many sugar..
have to watch her intake.. so MIL say one scoop only, can?
So it's a win-win situation.

Now in third week my May already like her night life..staying awake for hours!! Tormenting me

Genie... We can promise u here.. Its just a phase.. Sooner or later May will sleep soundly..

Some milk scoop are huge. Some are very small. U are bf and supplementing right?

What i did was put more water. Now at 5mo, my baby is taking 180ml water with 5 scoops of fm. Thats about 30ml more than recommended water.

sbux, oh ya... have u read in the bf advocate? u can use ebm to bath bb... it can act as moisturizer... u still have extra ebm rite?

Used up all to wash baby's hair d.. Hehe. Cuz her hair very little after we shave during full moon.
