Have been wearing like auntie for the past few months since Reverie's birth because all my old clothes can't fit me (Mainly top part coz that place grown quite abit =X)
Nursing tops are friggin' pricey in Kiddy palace and I only bear to buy 1 piece. $50 bucks leh ._. I rather buy other things.
Was trying to find webbies online that sells cheap and nice nursing dresses & tops but all end up to be around the same price and look so auntie-ey -.-
Only a month or so before, I found a seller in motherhood's forum that sells very chio & pretteh maternity & nursing apparels!
Her items ranged from $19 - $20 plus.
Her's what I've bought! I'm gonna collect them tomorrow! =D
Hahahahaha =X Got alot more chio ones but will buy them in future.
Will breastfeed Reverie as long as possible coz I know what's the best-est for her =D
&
Happy 4th month to my Baby Queencess ; Reverie Glynisebella!
Time past so quickly! She's growing and growing. More of sideways, HAHA!
Always can't stop smiling when I see her hamburger face. Feel like squashing her with a big big hug! LOL!
Anyway, for those interested in the maternity & nursing dresses and tops, can get the webbie from me! (I'm kind & I share, I'm a good girl) LOL!
Shall end my entry here
Toodles!
Callie
P/S >> Ohyah, recently very little people tag leh ._. Tag more to let me know that you guys (& girls) are here alright! =DD
Being a super gao zeh (troublesome) mummy, I wrote a page long of letter to Reverie's infant care teachers to remind them certain issues when dealing with her.
Working in the same line, I dunno why I can still get so gao zeh, LOL! Might be because over-reading of books and knowing too much facts can get you too over also =X
And I have to admit I'm the kind of parent me myself hate as a teacher, friggin' irritating and overprotective. LOL!
Anyway, here goes!
Dear Teachers,
Please kindly take note of the following
1. My mother & I have noticed that the diaper cream has been applied to the extent of her private area. Kindly make sure that it's around them and not inside them. This is to prevent any possible infection from occurring.
2. As mentioned before, reheat her breast milk to warm, not scorching hot and cool them down again. The over reheating temperature will kill all the antibodies in them.
3. As Reverie has issues drinking from bottle, I understand that lots of milk is being wasted. But please take note not to reheat and feed her milk that's over an hour old after being taken out from the fridge.
4. Do not feed Reverie plain water until she's being introduced to solid as it’s known to dilute blood for infants below 6 months of age (or before solid is being introduced) once over-drank.
5. As Reverie couldn't drink much from her bottle, please feed her in shorter intervals whenever she's ready (not sleeping & etc)
6. I believed that Reverie is a girl who needs to take longer time to get used to things (like her bottles & etc). If teachers are willing, teachers can start to introduce to her the rice cereal that's being provided. 1 or 2 teaspoon initially will do. This is also to make up for her low drinking issues.
7. Lotion form powder or pure cornstarch powder are provided because of talc-made powder are known to caused ovarian cancer. Just a reminder for teachers not to use them on her.
Overall, I thank all the teachers for being such a great help for taking care of her as it take a huge load off my mind, appreciate it greatly!
Thanks & Regards
Callie, Reverie's Mummy.
LOL! I think if I recieve one letter like this as a teacher I sure think this Laobu really siao ding dong -.-
But I decided to write like this because there are so many things to say so I think it's better to put them in a list rather than say one by one.
I think say one by one they find me more irritating loh!
Anyway so far Reverie's doing pretty well in her school, I personally like her teachers alot and I find them very patient.
For her bottles issues, not exactly up to normal infant standard because really have to see her mood. But she suckle from it. Just that the quantity is very low.
Highest so far is 140ml. Others would be like 40ml, 30ml, 70ml, 90ml and etc.
Better than she starve herself for 9 hours in 3 days when I started working what! lol.
Shall blog again next time! Just wanna share how gao zeh I am as a parent LOLOL!
So yeah. Here is the Ultimate getting meimei guide in our local Singlish.
Alot of plurks mummies are interested in the simple scientific way of concieving a baby girl so here goes!
1. it's important to understand your own ovulation date.
(If my memory do not fail me, it's normally 2 weeks after the last day of your menses)
2. by understanding the different characteristic of the X and Y sperm (Shall just simply name them girl sperm & boy sperm) we will know that,
- There are generally more boy sperm than girl sperm
- Boy sperm has longer tails therefore they swim faster than girl's.
- Boy sperm is more teh-mia-gui (短命鬼) than girl's sperm. Girl sperm can last up to 3 days.
- Boy sperm can't live in acidic environment.
3. So by using the knowledge above, here's how we try to get a baby girl.
4. Firstly, always get your ovulation date right. Count 3 days (some sources says 4 days) before your ovulation to do the business you have to do to get pregnant. Why?
5. If you do your business 3 days before your ovulation, the sperms will be waiting at the "door" for your eggs to be release. But sadly, Mr. Boy sperm is what we call the teh-mia-gui couldn't wait that long. So TAHHDAAHHH! If it succede, there you go! A baby girl!
6. To further increase your chances of getting a baby girl, it's also important to eat more acidic food as boy sperm couldn't adapt to the environment. You can easily google for a list of acidic/alkaline foods.
So there you go! I typed this as closely as I could remember from my memory. Pages could be found online regarding this. Can try typing things like "natural ways to concieve a girl" and you can see informations about it.
I get to know it when I'm reading my pre-natal book before I tried for my baby girl. Googled it and tried. Works for me and Emily. Not a 100% sure tio method thou. It just increase your chances of getting a girl =D
Good luck trying! LOL
(Use this method nvr tio zhaborkia don't blame me. Try at your own risk!)
