    Potty training

    lol so funny. $80 for a potty thats really expensive! I think they will play with the potty as long as its new and interesting to them, what's more with music! my mom bought my son those simple less than $20 potty, just a pail-type, he also play till very happy, it ended up as his bath toy...

    How to wean off toddler

    Thanks for comforting :). Ya he knows how to drink from straw and sippy. However, like what you did, I've tried before putting him at my parents' home for the weekend the whole day (daddy, mommy not around) but he still refuses to drink his milk when my mom feed him... Does your son need to try...

    How to wean off toddler

    I have this same issue, but the worse thing is even during the day I offer milk to him in the bottle or cup he still wants to latch on. He totally refuses anything except my breasts...I wanted to wean him off the day latching but really no idea how to wean him like that :embarrassed:

    Feeding breastmilk in bottle

    breastfed baby seldom colicky one. my boy doesn't have colic, just windy if not burp properly. i'm sure your baby is going through his 'evening fussiness' coz if its colic the baby won't be comforted in anyway and will seems to be like in pain. he's still new to his bodily functions, maybe he...

    Feeding breastmilk in bottle

    30mins is also fine. you can try sitting him up to burp or pat his back if he falls asleep. if he doesn't wake up after that, just feed him again when he's up. so now you can try 30mins or till he sleeps :D, when he has his next feed just continue with the side that hasn't fed for 30mins. as he...

    Feeding breastmilk in bottle

    i see, always burp your baby after milk and like wat Amulet says carry him upright on your shoulders. if you want can try dentinox colic drops, thats what my pd prescribe (but i still think 2 weeks a bit young to eat colic drops), or ru yi oil. baby won't suck air when he latches on, and there...

    Feeding breastmilk in bottle

    ya true for the reverse. how come your in laws will think that way? there's no air in your breasts but there's in the bottle. from the way you describe his bottle feed maybe the milk flow is too fast for him. get a smaller hole teat or you take out the bottle if you see he can't swallow fast...

    How to wean bb off the breast?

    I've let my hubby and mum tried before, and I hid in the room, but he still refuses. I think maybe he's big enough to know that I'm somewhere around in the house. Never try going out though, my hubby gives up quite quickly and he actually said to wean him off milk altogether since he doesn't...

    Tips on expressing milk at work, especially from teachers

    no problem. :) my friends are teachers too but they are able to take a full year of maternity leave, although its no pay after the initial paid 4 months. Your school doesn't allow you to do that?

    Tips on expressing milk at work, especially from teachers

    I didn't use a sterilizer when I pump @ work but I use hot water to soak the parts before my pump. I think most pantry have hot water or water boiler, you just need to bring a tupperware that's big enough to contain all your pump accessories for sterilizing. But if you have the budget and your...

    How to wean bb off the breast?

    I'm trying to wean my boy off the breast during the day. But so far every time I tried it failed. He refuses the bottle and cry like we tortured him if we don't latch him on, nothing distract him or soothes him. I also doubt I have much milk, usually when I pump when he's in infant care its only...

    Fish Oil

    not a must, but good to if cost is not a concern. 14 weeks is too early to take fish oil, you can start after 20weeks. I took neurogain when I was pregnant and still taking them now for lactation.

    Seeking some opinions from fellow forummers...

    Hi daddy70, about the slippers in the hall thingy, my husband is exactly the same as your wife. I think she really doesn't like the dirt on her feet feeling, which is the same reason my husband gave. My reasoning with him against that is that since baby is crawling around on the floor it...

    If born with weight 2.5kg, @37 weeks - need to stay in ICU?

    As long as baby is above 2.1kg and well, he/she does not need to stay in the NICU. When I was doing my 36week scan bb is only 1.9+kg, but I had to induce him out in my 37week as my amniotic fluid is low. Turns out he is 2.95kg when he's born. So not to worry, baby grows fast in the last few...

    What formula for sensitive baby?

    I see, its good baby can outgrow their lactose intolerance. So you kept 3 different kinds of formula when you are trying them, must take you quite sometime to finish all 3 tins. I heard my friend says formula after opening cannot keep more than 1, 2 months... so i gave away my almost full tin of...
