oh that's great to hear! glad for you!

I've a friend's dd who is in the NICU now and i am feeling for her also. She was just born last week.

:hugs: kabby

I too feel for your friend, newborn baby somemore :sad:

[Kabby]

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!!

Does anyone visit Sci and art musium?

autumnbronze,


I’m so sorry to hear your little one had to be hospitalised! Mine was hospitalized twice in his first month too. I was in pieces. Fortunately, the hospital didn’t fight me about the breastfeeding, otherwise I would’ve just sunk into depression. At that point, it seemed to be the only thing I could do for my child…

Glad to know your baby is doing better! Mine was a scrawny looking thing. He was not very plump at birth and lost more weight at the beginning. But now he’s got thunder thighs and more spare tyres than a fleet of transport trucks would ever need.

Hi MummyThreeStreams,

Thanks :hugs:

Gosh! twice :yikes:

It must have been so so tough on you!!

Both my sons were born under 3 kg. When DS2 returned home after delivery, he was a mere 2.5kg.

But I was/am not worried unlike the elders cuz their vital signs and development of their gross motor skills were/are good
