Jeelo and Ankh,
I saw Ergo at Metro at $189, there was a 10% discount then.. Oh, heard today and tomorrow Metro is having 20% discount.. don't know if it is true..
Steffi,
400 milk bags!!! WOW, if you can see me now, you'll see my jaw touching the ground!!! Haha, no wonder you can afford to wash your girl with the milk
Tub,
Your infant care seems good.. I wonder if all infant care are like that? Your hubby is in the same line? My hubby is... He comes back late and got to work till 11plus before going to sleep and then wake up at 6a.m.
I fear my life is gonna be like that too when I return to work. My boss keeps calling me to tell me that he needs me to go back and assist him.. scary right? haha
Constance,
Haha, you're the supplier yet the feeds are so different.. so you're right lor, different babies different feeding style
Yvone,
You not intending to take childcare? I'm going back to discuss with my VP next week to see if I can work part time or not
Dunno leh, can't bear to let my boy be taken care by others... See how it goes..
No.of feeds per day
So I gather most of us are giving our babies about 5 feeds per day...
My boy is getting cheeky. Sometimes when I latch him on, he won't be really drinking. He will look at me then smile while holding on to my nipple
Then he will look towards my breast, suckle a few times and look at me again and smile.. sometimes even laugh and drop the nipple out.. then he will quickly search for it again
Haha, I really really find the scene very amusing

phy, not sure if most infant care ctrs are like tat... we did some research tho... some have nannies that r too young, while others are very "haolian". hehheh
my hubby is in teaching. both of us switched to teaching from other jobs at about the same time so we could go travelg. hehheh. but now cannot already la..
about working late... i guess that's the price we all have to pay by choosing to stay in the rat race. for people wif kids like us, think it's impt to seek a balanced life. btw, ur husband is a teacher? he works till 11 at night? wow! mine works till 5-6pm everyday and i already compren. (i mean... considering we start work at 730am) wat does he do???

12pm - feed
3pm - feed
5+pm - feed
7+pm - feed
9+ - 10pm - feed
10.30pm - sleeping time

Tub,
work till 11plus = after baby sleeps he will have to mark/plan/write report etc... Well, he comes back late on Mondays..Last Monday came back around 830p.m. Other days if no meetings then he will come back around 5 or 6 plus..
Balanced life.. Hmm, ya, I'm trying to see how to balance baby and work.. So I gather both of you sleep very little daily...

Jasmine,
are you a SAHM? I've tried warming up milk before going out and then fed baby once arrived at destination.. Think my baby couldn't really stomach that coz his poo was like clear phelgm... so I don't do that anymore.. I look for nursing rooms when I go out. However, have not brought baby out alone before..

jasmine,
can latch on instead when go out with baby alone? then no trouble with regards to warming milk. Just make sure got good nursing cover over you. That's what i just did today, ended up at starbucks breastfeeding. But to sit in there so ex - spent $6(!!!) for hot chocolate. But got nice armchairs

Phy,
To me, if my hubby can come back at 830pm.. its considered very early liao but too bad, it has never happened
the earliest so far is 12am+
Last night, he returned at 4am!! So my hubby hardly has anytime for our baby during weekdays, only briefly in the morning before we go to work. Bcos of his long working hrs, all hsechores falls onto me.. so after my boy sleep, i will clean up the hse then bath, usually sleeps ard 2am. tired for both of us

claire, no la.. we dun always talk about teaching cos i guess both of us were from other industries previously. so we did remind ourselves not to be consumed by the system.
phy, wow! your hubby is very hardworking. i dun bring work back home. usually tries to finish them in college. once i hit home, it's family time
i forced my hubby to do that as well. heehee...
we typically sleep at about 12 MN ba... hubby will sleep earlier... i will zzz later cos have to have last pump around tat time. but i'll try to nap a little beetween 930 to 11/12.
cocoangle, wow! wow! kudos to u manz... how do you manage?

Claire,
Ya, I enjoy the interaction with kids but not so about the admin stuff..But we can't run away from all these..
Coco,
Wow, your hubby only came back at 4am? What time does he leave the house? Mine leaves around 615a.m. Yesterday he told me next Wed he has a meeting which might end around 8plus or even later.. Sian har.. I don't like being at home alone with Baby at times.. kinda lonely.
Jeelo,
Your boy also does that? Haha, very cute right? When my boy look up from that angle, he looks so endearing!!! Really cute
ankh,
I know what you mean by intelligent conversation.. I also miss those stuff.. Now I set new parameters for my hubby. Told him he can't watch too much TV programme. He MUST talk to me and baby
Jasmine,
So fast planning for no. 2? WOW!!! I'm still struggling to be a mum leh...

Tub,
Haha, how I wish my hubby can have more time for us.. Hmm, recently he did try. I collapsed at home one day.. after which I told him I need him to be home as early as possible. So now he tries to finish his work in school. But he still has meetings to attend on Monday. Other days it all depends if his boss calls for meetings or not.
These few days he has been good. Didn't lug back much work. But he will watch TV programme lor.. says he needs to unwind also... Haha, so guess who I talk to? Come in here lor..
I also regret agreeing to let him coach volleyball on Saturday afternoons...*haiz* This afternoon he came back like 4 plus and I was so happy!!

Crystalz,
Me? I want to be SAHM but reality is, I can't cope being one
So everyone decided for me that I should return to work force. I'm still pretty torn. Hubby doesn't mind me staying home or go to work but he says it seems that I will be happier working...
So crystalz, do you have extra help or just you and baby during the day?
Lynzi,
That's why I dread going back to work... Furthermore I have other portfolios awaiting me.. I shudder at the thought of leaving house at 615a.m. and only reach home 12 hours later...
Then got to continue to work (marking, planning etc) after dinner...
Which level are you teaching?
