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 (tongue.gif), 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 tongue.gif coz i oso wanna know smile.gif
*
i know i am not phythia, but i tot i'd chip in with some of my own experiences

where u BF or not, your breat is going to fall (laws of gravity & age)

u can give your baby solids 1 hours after ebm.. just dont keep your baby too hungry before giving solids otherwise they'll be stressed with hunger and might not enjoy solid

cook porridge is so simple mah... u can search online.. i oso hv some baby recipes on my blog (i dont restrict baby to just porridge). Puree is just blending it.. and when your baby is older, u just mash it to train him/her eat chunky food

my baby now 13 months, so far i never gave water to cure hiccup... it is normal for baby and it will go away on its own

nicKit - maybe growth spurt.. maybe teething.. in any case, it should last a few days.. but depends on the baby oso la..
whole of last week my baby made it hell for us, woke up every 3 hrs and cry cry cry... but friday onwards he is back to normal... i suspect teething oso

agree with phythia, get a sippy handy so that he can learn using it once u give solids.. at least he will know sippy=water...
he might not accept it right away, so dont give up and try to give every week.. i did the same.. every week try to give sippy and see if he can drink... he accepted sippy abt 9 months.. and somewhere around 11 months i notice he is sucking thru the sippy without tilting the bottle up side down... so i gave straw cup and jadi!

salute you nickit.. for BF part, and living with ILs part.

For me i am not so good in closing one or half eye. I dont like means i will show it and say it. That is why i prefer to stay on our own, although it means struggling alone with our baby and house works

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.

AGREE! hubby never takes initiative, so i need to plan and remind him of his chores, only then it will be done. But it is still better than nothing rite

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.
*
haha normal la.. hubby says i nag, so i always try to change my tone & mood when i remind (nag) him about his chores... so he takes it better... and not think that i am nagginggggggggg

on another note, i am not complaining that my hubby is not domesticated.. it loses the essence of being a man, IMO

qarezma, phythia, u guys... both of ur sons r abt the same age i think so u two can click well tongue.gif u're lucky ur hb willing to help... since i'm married to a traditional family house chores r for women dry.gif

qarezma, i'm at skudai while ijnek is at permas smile.gif

phythia, u r one lucky woman... ur mum's just downstairs... biggrin.gif

ijnek, the closest one now which is my hb is not supporting n the next closest ones r either across the border or south china sea cry.gif then the next is u guys notworthy.gif i feel like i have no life >.<"

i used to live in skudai before smile.gif my kampong is still there

actually my hubby and my dad are both from typical traditional indian family where the women will do all the chores (MIL & mom are housewives). If hubby is in his hse, he is damn pampered. SO it is good to stay away from there. At our hse, hubby learnt to help with chores cos he knows we have no other help. We have talked abt this and he understands, and is willing to help.

i stay in permas, permas ville apt.

i helped out a lot with the house chores, of course, i wasn't like this...even now i still grumble sometimes...
except the cookin, not tat i can't in fact i like cooking,most of the other stuffs i would hv a part in doing too biggrin.gif

i guess if u r alone here, the internet really helps to bridge the distance between ppl.

nic:
thought of using video chat with ur parents etc?

haiz my hubby likes to cook too but i try not to let him, cos i will hv to deal with the mess and he will usually use up ALL the ingredients for just one dish
but he cooks pretty well

So I did an experiment to see how will she poop if she is on formula. Tis is her milk schedule.
7am: ebm
10am: ebm
1pm: fm
4pm: fm
7pm: ebm
9pm: fm
3am fm

She is taking 4oz each feed except the 9pm one cuz I feed her earlier so that she can sleep.

The good news is,she poo alternate day after following this schedule.
The bad news? Hubby ask me to keep to this schedule and store my ebm.

Plz advise.

What is the concern on the poop in relation with EBM?

sigh... mothers regret for not being able to BF their baby, this is totally opposite.

U can check with the regular paed that BF-ed babies poo once in 5-6 days, even with FM it is normal, as long as poo is within the acceptable consistency & no discomfort while baby is passing the motion

Sigh... It's not me who want to bring her to see the pediatric surgeon. It's my hubby cuz he listens to his sis and BiL(which are GPs) which says babies should poop everyday.

The 2 doctors are afraid that her intestines are block or something. I refuse to bring her to the pediatric surgeon cuz I don't want them to run all sorts of test on my baby thats why i give her more formula to make her poop.

We have 6 newborns this year in the family and only my baby is on BM. They said BM is "water". I even get comments that my baby is not having enough despite putting on weight every month.  shakehead.gif

How la......???  sad.gif

Today I put baby on ebm again and stop formula. Hope she will be good and poo more often.

Syd G,

How often ur baby poop?  blush.gif
*
forget abt the GPs, get your hubby to sit and do some research on BM on the internet. Let him see the facts himself. BM contains a lot of water, but BM has antibodies that FM will nvr have... so sad people still dont want to believe this. I guess u need to be strong, and follow your beliefs.

DO one thing, bring your baby to paed, with yr hubby, and get the BM and poo concerns sorted out once and for all

Hubby is on BM till he is 3 years old and he is super huge. He is very supportive in breastfeeding but on another hand also worried about the baby's poop problem.  Funny thing is the GPs told me that Nowadays FM is comparable with BM. I told her FM is chemical and she said her 3 kids grow up with FM and have no problem.

-$/)sad.gif,$,@/@-$!;$$.........

i myself partly BF my baby during first 2 months, after that due to supply issue had to turn to FM

truth is, FM is processed, no matter how comparable to BM, it is not pure
BM is pure, and naturally made to cater baby's needs

of course gazillion kids grow up on FM, that doesnt mean FM is better than BM.
given the choice, any mother would want to give BM.
