Thats pretty normal. It is the cycle of breastfeed. You need to be persistent about it and only do breastfeed. Else you will get the baby confused. It's not easy but if the mother can do it then do it. After a while, the breast will create more milk and it will slowly ease of both baby and mother. Keep it up.

She's not really into jewellery

Either a watch or handbag, but i need another idea if you guys can share it. Whatever you bought as a surprise and your wife loves it.


No la, even for that 5k still need to save few months, can't really afford to spend 5k just like that.

She made it easy for me, birthday and anniversary on the same date

Already planned to go to Trengganu, but maybe need to cancel cause of the raining season

Normally what you get for your wife?

we dont really buy each other gifts cause we spend money on travel hahah.

sometimes i will ask "what you want?" she reply "dunno" then days passed and everyone get over it. LOL. so money masuk tabung. but this year she already mintak new iphone 8+ or X since she using ipon 5 now. haha.

Perhaps I'm grateful with my wife because we both share the same thoughts.

Why splurge so much on this special anniversary when everyday IS anniversary of a step forward. Every little steps count. Imagine spending 3k / 5k on big occasion and that excitement last for that period.

But if you spread out that 3k / 5k into investments into daily life with surprises (chocolates (sinful candies) / flowers / clothes / sinful weight adding foods / beauty accessories) it'll last for a long time.

I bought bouquet of flowers once in a while to surprise my wife. Chocolates on random occasion, even in night markets. Or maybe during window shopping, just walk into shop and put her on a hairband / earring that you think it looks nice on her. Then pay for it.

Because I appreciate those small moments that brings big happiness to her. The attentive and thoughts I had for her, is all she even wants from her husband.

Since I don't have the luxury to buy her expensive branded bags, I do it in small scales and random timing.

While I admit it's nice to get her desired bags, I have to be realistic in my financial as well. That's how relationship goes far......together.

Just my 20 cents.

Oh ya. My most recent gift is rm30 felt material which she poke poke poke and suddenly become cute fuzzy animal.... Weird. But she seems to like it since she enjoys diy.

me n wife same goal... save money for family trip

hi all, thinking to transition from normal child carseat to booster seat type. have any of you used the Joie brand?

my budget is <RM500.

any other recommendations? thanks.

Currently using Joie Every Stage.

For below Rm500, look at Joie Elevate..
Group 1/2/3

thanks. that looks pretty good!

can also use isofix belt addon to make it extra secure i guess since hard to find decent isofix booster. all need to put the belt on even no baby to prevent it falling down.

guys, my baby is around 4.5 months old.
starting around 3.5 months till now, my baby has started to drink bit by bit.

usually he would take 3 to 4 oz per feeding.

now its like, 0.5 to 1oz per feeding, and always squirming around when we feed him.

he will cry like normal when hungry, then when we feed him, he will drink for a few seconds before crying and squirming again for a few seconds, then back to drinking normally.

i dont think its the formula, or the bottle, because he reacts more or less the same with breastfeeding.
but breastfeeding more success, less crying and squirming.

tried to put breast milk in bottle, same effect of crying and squirming.

what could be the problem?
issit just a phase he is going thru?

maybe got lots of angin? do you put any oils or give massage? minyak telon is quite effective. put on body and feet. to release angin.

we always put minyak kayu putih.
sometimes give him Gripe Water.


if sakit perut/bloated, should be everyday for the past 1 month?

oh if use all those then dunno leh. yeah. if kid is prone to angin, sure will last long time. maybe try urut perut first before feeding to see if it helps? can youtube massage technique.

oh yeah, massage also we did.
everyday also.

When my son has windy tummy, I tend to use bicycle method to move his legs gently in a circular cycling motion.

He'll fart sometimes during the short exercise.

Usually we will pat his back after drinking milk. Around 5 minutes until we can hear or feel the burp from his mouth.

this is not the problem.
anyway, for bloated and wind, we will use woodwards gripe water, bicycle legs, massage etc. so i dont think thats the problem.

my problem is this :

Ah, that struggle. For my experience before, my son had a lil discomfort on his tummy. Hence he couldn't drink milk comfortably.

So we went to Chinese Medical shop and bought this. After using this on his tummy, an hour later back to normal drinking mood.
