Pigeon food warmer... Argggg....

I had been searching for baby food warmer since CNY. But that time, both Pigeon and Avent were out of stock. Finally, I bought the Pigeon Food warmer from TAKA BB Fair last saturday. When I wanted to use, only then I found out:

Argggg.... How to use this plug!?! we don't even have the socket for this one! Gosh. This is the first time that I saw household electrical part with this plug..
I will bring this back to TAKA, and exchange it to the AVENT food warmer then... >.<

I wonder how he sleep...

Every morning when we are about to feed him, we always wonder, how he end up like this:
(in week 8):

week 11:

Somehow, he just get himself stuck in this position and doesn't turn further... else, he will be turning like a clock (clockwise lagi... -.-")

Taka BB Fair

Buying BB stuff from S'pore is cheaper than in M'sia!!! We were in KL during CNY, where I went to Isetan to look for Avent bottle nipple. The MSRP for one set of bottle nipples (2 in a set) is RM19.90, where as in S'pore, the MSRP is only $6.00 for the same thing. so expensive! Then, I went to check out the price for Pigeon food warmer since I was looking for one in S'pore, and I know the price. I was quite shocked when I look at the price tag. They are selling at RM2xx.00!!! and I can get it at only S$48 in S'pore sales(original price was $6x.00) Too bad, they were out of stock when I wanted to purchase. & for Pigeon Breast Pad, I got it for S$8.00 per box, but in KL, it was listed RM3x.00! @_@!?!

Taka is having BB Fair again, until 23rd March. So, I am stocking up for BB till his weaning stage... since there is a 20% off for most of the brand, including Avent, Pigeon, etc... & here's some of what i got for Pier:

别小看他, 他明白我们的...

BB 近来很爱发脾气, 动不动就大声哭.

昨天, 我喂他喝奶, 忽然间, 他又发脾气,不但不肯喝, 还拼命大哭大闹. 不管我怎样好言好语地安慰他, 他就是闹. 最后, 我生气了, 骂了一句, "喂! 够了啊!" 他吓了一跳, 盯着我... 不到两秒钟, 他闭起眼, 张开嘴巴, "哇!!!!" 一声, 哭得更大声... 而且还哭得很凄凉. "呜哇...呜哇..." 哭得像是被我们抛弃似的, 好可怜哦... 到后来, 没办法停止他, 就把他放在床上,而且很不客气地瞪着他. 他哭了一阵子后, 发现不对劲了... 因为平时我与牛牛肯定是在抱他, 哄他... 怎么今天没人睬他呢? 于是,他张开眼睛看看周围, 发现我那生气的眼神正在瞪着他. 他楚楚可怜"唲... 唲... 唲..."地叫我, 像是叫我疼他, 抱他. 乘这个机会, 我很严厉的对他说, "妈咪不喜欢你这样乱发脾气的. 不喜欢你如此乱乱哭, 乱乱喊. 你这样乱发脾气, 妈咪很不高兴!" 说完, 只见他泪汪汪, "噢.. 噢.." 了几声, 却不敢哭出来... (哈! 这招行得通!)

见他平静了点儿, 我摸摸他的头, "乖, 别哭了. 哭得妈咪好烦. 对妈咪笑笑, 妈咪立刻抱你, sayang你..." 语毕, 我对他笑了一笑... 结果, 他立刻展出他最甜的笑容... 我抱着他, 心都溶了...



BB was throwing tantrum these few days. "enjoy" crying for no reason...

Yesterday, while I was feeding him half way, he again fussed and crying and screaming. I was trying my best to calm him, but it doesn't work. & at the end, it reaches my limit and I scolded him in mandarin, "Hey! Enough!" He stun for a while, and..... CRY even louder! and the crying tone turned up to be very sad, sounds like being abandon by us (so pity....) Worst still, I can't stop him and I myself starting to lost control. So, at the end, I put him back to his cot and stare at him angrily.

He cried for a while and then realized something wasn't right. He stopped and looked around. He then saw me staring at him, and he was trying to catch my attention by calling me ,"uh... uh... uh..." and I replied him in a firm tone, "Mummy doesn't like BB misbehave like this. Mummy is not happy with BB throwing tantrum like this!" Tears rosed in his eye, but he did not cry out, keep saying "hmm... hmm..." (aha! it works! I learned this from the book "secret of baby whisperer")

He quiet for a while, and I soften my voice and continue, "Good boy, don't cry. Give mummy a smile and then, mummy will hug you and sayang you." & I smile at him... Guess what? He then show his sweetest SMILE at me!! Oh my dear Pier...

理发篇(二)

BB 的头发长得好快, 不到一个月, 又需要修剪了... 这回, 由猪妈咪动手...
可是, 剪来剪去, 都好像被狗咬似地... 最后, 还是牛爸爸出手...


这回, 可剪得真短... 没有"兵头洗粉"了.

Back to Normal Life...

Hooray! Finally.... We are both back to normal shift. No more night shift is needed at last!
*******************************************************************************************
After the confinement nanny had left during baby 4th week, I had a record of no sleeping for 36 hours. That was terrible. Then, Lewis wanted to help me for the night feeding and hence, he went into night shift as BB Pier need feeding every 1.5-2 hours. Pier eat extremely slow, one feeding of 2.5Oz can took up to 45 minutes... Lewis's sleeping hours was then changed to 2pm-10pm, and by 10pm, he woke up, took over baby care & I go to sleep till next morning. But this type of shift running wasn't practical because sometime BB can be fussy and need 100% attention. Both of us only had ONE complete meal a day, be it breakfast or lunch. then snack for the rest of the day. With that, I had been losing weight in a fast pace (I got back my pre-pregnancy weight by week 7! ^.^)

We desperately wanted to train Pier to sleep thru the night. I was sourcing information from the internet. & many of them recommended warm bath before sleep. We do notice that Pier sleep for longer interval in the afternoon after his bath. So, we decided to give it a try. At first, we bathe him at 6pm, & each time after bath, he will cry for food. we feed him and he slept. the interval was longer than other normal time (about 3-4 hrs). It works!

Again, I moved his bathing time to late evening, around 8.30pm (before the 9pm feeding). But at this time, the environment is cooler, so, water must be warm (but not HOT!) & Pier seems to enjoy the warm bath... After 9pm feed, he play & coos at himself for a while & slept.... The next feeding was around 1am....

A week later, he slept for longer hour. After 9pm feed, he wakes up at 2am, few days later, 3am..... Slowly, after 4 weeks, he now sleep thru the night... Last feeding at 9-10pm, and the next feeding at 6-7am in the morning.

Finally, we no longer need night shift. & the most important, we are back to our normal life (3 meals a day & with some nice snacks in between), and I managed to stop myself from loosing weight further. I was 48kg before pregnant, 63kg before labor and now, maintained at 46kg... I had lost about 15kg in 10weeks... which is a good news for me! ^.^

Bathing in Homemade Mustard

Pier started to enjoy his bathing time. I bathed him at night, before his last feeding at 9pm.

Last night, right before I put him into his bathtub, he gave me a great smile, & I melted... who knows... he smile & pulled his leg up... and here you go.... BLA!!!!!!! my hand, shirt, short, bathtub water are then filled with his homemade "yellow mustard". Arrrggg..... what a nice gift from Pier. -.-" Ok, what's now? I am in such a mess, Pier was covered by his own production too... Got to carry this nearly 7kg fellow with one hand, another hand to disposed the "mustard" water & washed his bathtub.... and at the end, felt like doing this:



Well, this is not the first time he did this to me, but the 3rd time... aii.... and throughout the whole bathing time, he gave me his most innocent smile....
