      yes autumnbronze, your birth story was very gripping and amazing!


      how old is your ds2 now? hope he is much better!

      :thankyou: kabby for your well wishes.

      My DS2 was barely 4 and a half weeks when he was admitted to the hospital. It was a trying time for me as DH was away.

      I was really upset because he was subjected to invasive tests and the doctor was not open to alternatives. More concerned with SOPs more than anything else. This was a first for me as DS1 has never been hospitalized *touch wood*.

      When I have the time, I will blog about it, especially highlighting the alternatives to invasive testing.

        was this hospital the big big one? if so, then ya, I’d experienced their SOPs too, ugh! very inflexible!

        how old is your ds2 now? hope everything’s getting better now!

                yup, she hasn’t even gone home yet. hope she can, this week. my friend has 2 older kids at home, but she has to make daily trips to the hospital to pass all the milk she has expressed to the nurses and also to see her baby. it’s very draining.

                  dear SAHMs,

                  the upcoming Sep hols are round the corner as well. however, due to special circumstances, the kids seem to have 2 weeks hols this time!

                  Election hol, hari raya hol, tr day celeb and then tr day hol before that 1 week break!
                  it seems they only have Wed as a normal school day right?

                  what are the mommies planning to do with the kids? or anyone already planning to take a trip out of the country?

                        Haiz ..... same same lah.

                        But I was fortunate my grandma-in-law, together with her son, could take care of DS1 as I dare not leave him alone with helper for long periods of time. That way, I could stay with DS2 in the hospital.

                        I was forced to supplement breast milk with formula 3x a day ... one of the doc's inflexibilities because she was not happy with the baby's 'magic' figure every morning. I was fuming mad and she made me more stressed. She is not pro-breastfeeding. She even refused to work with the lactation consultants and my pte PD. After having a battle of wills with her for so many days, she subtly hinted that she won't discharge my DS2 if I don't comply. She recommended one formula, in the end gave another, didn't even give me the liberty to research and choose :siao:

                        1 and a half weeks after DS2 was discharged, I made DS2 go cold turkey and stopped the formula.

                        I do not know if your friend will face the same situation. Just tell her to perservere and not give up!!
