    Difficult MIL, I need therapist

    Thank you girls.. I thought I was unreasonable, I'm so glad I seem normal. Well, what happens is my husband notices my discomfort and steps in to negate it straight away. So there was once we brought dd out to Bugis when she was 6 mths, of course I had no chance to carry her throughout, next...

    Difficult MIL, I need therapist

    I know there are many difficult mother-in-laws out there. In comparison, mine to many may seem like a good deal even as we do not stay with her. The fact is, my husband cannot deal with her as well and he agrees she's difficult. We both agreed that dd will not be taken care of by her and we...

    EDD (September 2009)

    Medela Swing or Mini electric

    I'm using a Evenflo electric double pump, my baby sleeps through the noise next to me.. Its great because I can pump simultaneously, which cuts down a lot of time.. what i'll do to drain the milk or release engorgement is to massage before expressing, which is better done by yourself because you...
