Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Hi all pretty moms,

Recently it has been so busy, busy, busy…. Anyway, Thanks so much again for all your suggestions of what to buy in term of feeding bb. We managed to buy things in the last minute of sales, so should have save some $$ in bb’s account! :lol:

We bought the followings on the last day of sale from babycenter.com :
Avent 9 oz Bottle Three Pack
Avent 4 oz Bottle Two Pack and Breast Pump Conversion Kit
Baby Magic Wipes
Philips Baby Bottle Food Warmer
Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads
Portable Changing Pad with Terry Cove

And we bought the Graco travel system from Target. It’s Winnie the Pooh and we saved $25!!! We did not buy the Medela electric pump because a friend of my husband may be about to borrow hers to me. If not, I still have the last chance this coming weekend, because it’s still on sale 15% plus a free gift of Avent hand pump.

I am not very sure if I have enough bottles for my bb or not ?-( We have 3X 9oz and 2X 4oz and two (or four?) more bottles from the pump…. Enough for a bf bb????

Pink and whalebb,

We will go to Tak Sing Shop to buy the “Sa Po” and then buy the ginger and vinegar in 99 this weekend. Can u tell me how much ginger and vinegar should I buy?

Little Fat Man,

Thanks for the photo, mini-Matt is really very popular among girls! Count my girl in next time!

Whalebb,

No photo received wor! [email protected] ah!

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Shiba_Inu,

Regarding the ginger and vinegar, it all depends on how much you would like to eat. If you'd like to share the ginger and vinegar, you'd have to prepare more.

Actually, I don't know how much my mother-in-law prepared for me last time. She cooked it in her home and brought some to us. She also prepared some for our friends.

Maybe I can ask my friends and get back to you later.

I haven't seen Winnie-the-Pooh travel system. Must be very cute!! :mrgreen:

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

pink0325,
Nice to meet you!! I have a 13-month-old son. Your son looks very active. Are you a stay-at-home mom?

Little fat man and Natmama,
Congratulations to the success sleeping training. I try to help my son to quit his pacifier. He becomes very cranky when he wakes up at midnight. We both feel tired, but I will insist. Hope to accomplish my mission soon.
Little fat man win win win!!!
My son changes to drink whole milk now. We just buy any brand with vitamin D from supermarket. And I add Enfamil mult-vitamin supplement to his juice.

Shiba,
I am so happy to hear that you have prepared a lot for the baby. 我相信你的心情一定又緊張又興奮,預祝你生個肥肥白白、精靈可愛的bb女。

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Shiba_Inu,

問到朋友了!煲薑醋如下:

用八珍甜醋煲好味d! 薑既數量就因人喜好, 我朋友嗰時買左8斤老薑! 因為佢要派俾親戚朋友!

煲薑醋既方法 :

材料: 老薑、豬腳、雞蛋、甜醋(煲薑醋用瓦煲) 2 個
(新瓦煲浸一會水,注入清水煲一煲滾水,然後放涼將水倒去,將煲切底抹淨吹乾,備用)

老薑 ─ 大肉老薑 ;要重手,多薑汁;洗淨 用毛巾抹乾 括去皮(薑皮吹乾留用-孕婦(坐月)生產後煲水洗頭)

將薑括好皮 拍扁,放入(生鐵鑊)燙一燙,兩邊也燙,有些少蕉濃不要緊,將薑放入(人仔煲)內約六成滿,倒入甜醋 濕過薑面3”為準煲滾後,用中慢火煲 40分鐘,熄火前將煲蓋打開,然後熄火.

製法: 滾用中細火煲40分鐘,開鑊蓋後才熄火(免倒汗水倒溜),放一會待煲身放涼至少少暖,用毛巾(兩摺)蓋住煲蓋放在陰涼地方(不要放在廚房)放四日,隔十日拿走毛巾再煲 滾後20分鐘(可添加醋),再隔十日煲最後一次。孕婦予生產後六日第七天後可吃薑醋。〔可保存6個月,每隔1個月再滾〕

要臨盆前四星期準備.

豬腳 ─ 豬腳切件(肉檔代燒毛)清潔趾位餘毛,用粗鹽擦 沖洗,出水用少少鹽滾20分鐘,過冷河用水沖一會[放入水中(啤)水],抹去水份,乾身會好吃D。取已經煲好薑醋放入另一個闊口大扁煲內;底放薑及醋、中間放豬腳、面放薑及醋,注滿8成滿,煲滾用中細火煲40分鐘後熄火 其間豬腳要翻動會入味點,[豬腳不能浸於醋中超過24小時,會梅、爛、標油 - 所以分開另一個闊口大扁煲存放] 豬腳不要番煲太多次。

雞蛋 ─ 處理豬腳時,同時洽 雞蛋(大隻)洽3-4分鐘,摸殼放入 [雞蛋浸於醋中超過24小時,會變硬;產婦吃有益,胃病人士少吃]

產婦吃老薑才可驅風。

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

i agreed to nat_mama in hiring a nanny who listens to instructions, otherwise, it would be like having a 99. my ex-nanny is exactly like that, she is very experienced in taking care of babies but she always think that i know nothing...she is the smartest nanny in the world. when i told her to do something which she did not agree, she would say all those 'gui lo' stuffs are stupid and non-sense, and she would grab valerie from my arms. i think i can write over a 1000 words of essay about her...i was so happy that my mom came over, so i could finally fire her when my husband asked me my requirements for hiring a new nanny ( he is sicked of hearing me complaining the ex-nanny everyday), i told him...listens instruction, good to valerie, honest, hardworking, quiet and has discipline...i am very happy with my new nanny. so far, she is up to my requirements and she seems to like valerie....even when she sees my friend's baby who is deifinitely prettier than valerie, she and my husband still think valerie is prettier hahaha

sy_mom,

did you fire your nanny?

要找一個適合自己的nanny是很難的, 我姐也有類似的經驗。如果她真的咁諸多要求, then fire her, 費事激親自己。

whalebb,
看了你女女的生日照了。千萬不要說自己沒有化妝醜,看你們一家團聚,幸福快樂的樣子, 已靚到極了。

小肥佬,
mini-matt的衫仔好靚啊!! 是不是你幫他買的?在beach幫他慶祝生日很特別,I guess you guys must have a happy and worderful time.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Dear all moms,
I am back!!!

Shiba_Inu,
for the 9oz bottles, you would use it untill your baby girl 6 months old... so just concern more about the 4-6 oz bottles.. ok? as you breast fed her, so sometime, you don't need the bottle at all.. because if you want to have enough milk supply, the best way is.. to let your girl to suck your nipples and pump out the rest of the milk if some left.. then your milk supply will be huge.... as my first month... when my breast with engorement.. I have 6oz from each breast.. after i pump them out.. it is such a good relief! as I do pump all the milk out after each fed.. so I will have better milk supply for Amanda.

So.. zic, greentree,
I will pick up guys up on next tuesday to Cutiemom's home, ok?
Baby gigi
will you come along..
I will leave Amanda with fat bear bear at home...

meee meeee, muimui 313,
it is not easy to go to work at all especially that so many to worry about at home.... and even I am so tired and sore all over my body, I can't sleep thru the night...
anyone has any good idea.. how to sleep well at night, I really don't want to take any sedative.. or sleeping pills...

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

natmama:
She is okay, at least she can tell the difference between day and night the very 1st day when she came home from the hospital. So far, right after the feeding at 10 something, I will leave her in the crib and she will be asleep on her own very soon or she will be asleep while she is still in my arms enjoying her food so, it is not too bad.
How is Natalie's training so far?

Little Fat man:
That's very good, mini-matt learn the lesson pretty fast and in a very short, you won't hear a sound when you put him to bed and sleep like a pig for the entire night gar la

nillie_mami:
You can bring Amanda with you if you want to, she can play with greentree's son ma
sleeping method- I don't sleep well myself either but ppl said some warm milk before bedtime should make you better or try to have a warm bath before you go to bed, that might help to relieve your stress

zic, greentree,nillie_mami:
My place is still very messy now, don't have the energy and mood to clean up the place very well,
hope you guys don't mind
Do you guys wanna come to have lunch together? I'll call zic to confirm the time and see what kind of food you guys like.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Whalebb,

Hope you'll feel better soon :lol: :lol: :lol: Thank you for sharing those nice photos of your family

Little Fat Man,

Mini-Matt is so smart, already learning the techniques of sleeping in such a short time. When I put Natalie down now, I would kiss her and say it's time to "gau gau"...go sleep with doll. Then she will put her head on her pillow and look at me while I walk out of the room. Then I will hear her babbling or humming thru the monitor :-P :-P :-P Honestly, I should have done this training earlier.

Cutie_Mommy,

It's good that you're training your daughter to sleep on her own already, it is so much easier when they are little

Junw, Greentree,

Did your babies noticed a difference when you fed them whole cow's milk Natalie didn't stshow any signs when I switched her to enfamil next step, I will probably continue to give her that since I still have coupon :-P :-P :-P ...then I will switch her to whole milk :lol: :lol: :lol:

Valbee,

Seems like we both have the some requirements for nannies. It's just hard when you have to deal with another person's opinionate all day long. I think bottomline, nanny should at least follow instructions. We have our ways of raising kids now...it's so different from them.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Nillie,

Sorry to hear about your sleeping problems. If possible, try not to drink any tea, sodas, or coffee (even decaf) during the day. For me, even if I drink a little in the morning, I won't sleep as well in the evening. If you must drink some, try to drink it before lunch time so you can dilute the effect with water the rest of the day Also, they have a lavender/mint bathsalt from "Bath and Body Works". Try to take a bath in it...it really helps loosen your senses

Cuttimom & Natmama,
你哋真係非常幸運, bb可以咁快瞓過夜. 我都好想阿仔夜晚唔晒起身食奶. 佢個醫生話仲會有一兩個月日子捱!!:lol:


cuttimom,
講到屋企亂, 你冇得同我鬥啦. 啲嘢多到...唉, 就嚟冇頂行, 啲鞋要排出街啦.
can't wait to meet your princess on tue!!!!!!


小肥佬,
恭喜晒, mini-matt自己可以瞓覺豬
尋晚食飯, 阿仔唔肯自己坐swing, 係要人抱... 我同ryan講唔好理佢, 佢喺到扭計之麻, 繼續食飯... 阿仔就喊, 喊得好淒厲, 面又紅, 聲又失. ryan話: 佢喊到咁, 我冇晒胃口! 跟住就走咗去抱阿仔. 點知阿仔3秒內收晒聲. 你話幾神奇. 我笑ryan, 你中咗阿仔計啦. 之後佢有啲唔 "份" 氣,不停話:衰仔!衰仔! 我話係時候調教調教阿仔啦.
佢之前唔信我講啫. 宜家, 我講咩就信咩. 佢仲話you know better than I do!!!!!! 下星期一特訓開始.

Whalebb,
我收唔到相噃, 可唔可以send去[email protected] THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for picking me up!! Do I need to bring my son's carseat with us?

I am so sorry to hear about your sleeping problem too. Don't think too much! 明天自有明天的憂慮, 一天的難處一天當便夠了。Try to listen some sleeping music and drink a warm milk. My sister has sleeping problem too. She said drink a small cup of red wine could really help her to release.

Cutie -mom,
我奶奶常說有小朋友的家中實是亂的, 很難避免的,何況你有兩個! 不用介意見!! Looking forward to seeing you on Tue.

Zic,
我支持你的training, don't beat down by your son's tears.

carinamommy:
My girl didn't receive any shot in the hospital and so far she only had one check up when she was 2 weeks old. She will have 2 shots when she returned for her 2 mos well check.
Don't cry la, just get prepared, there will be more and more conflicts coming up between you, your hubby and your 99 when bring up a baby, I know it is hard in a way, you want to respect your 99 but you don't want your girl to be spoiled by her right?! So try to let go if is not too serious but if it come to the point you can't take it, try to tell your 99 in a nice way or ask your hubby to talk to her instead.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

i haven't fired the new live-in nanny yet. she also wanted to go home Wed. night, coz she said/implied that she didn't get used to the weather, water in san jose and the food we eat, and not feeling well after coming back from the park with us because of the heat-wave. (she've lived in san francisco for almost 20 yrs). she also said that her sons don't want her to work if her boss is not nice to her. then, firmly i told her that i won't be mean to the nanny if she's doing her jobs and not going too far. also, she heard i told sean that i would send him to school if he doesn't behave. since then, she seems to be getting a little better.

so, i decide to give each other a chance and try her for another week. but i hv a feeling that she would look for another job before quitting this one.

she kept saying that sean will get along better with her if i'm not at home. coz sean kept saying "don't want mrs. li, i want mommy". sometimes he even beat her and don't let her get into the car if we come back from the park. i think he knows that mommy will go to work if he's ok with the nanny.
so, he tried to give the nannies a hard time (this is the 3rd one in these 2 months).
once, i was curious why there were 5 feeding bottles in the steamer, coz usually there're 2 to 3 each day. he immediately told mrs li "mommy said: how come there're so many feeding bottles, 'yau mo gau chall' (what's wrong with u)". once, he took out a very small piece of chicken bone from his dinner and said "luckily i was not choked by the bone". etc ...

i think it's harder for the kids to accept new nannies as they grow older. maybe i always told sean that i would go back to work if he doesn't listen to me, and that nobody takes care of him if i go to work and he makes the nanny go away.

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

Carinamom,
我同你一樣, 都係覺得99寵壞個孫, 日日夜夜都攬住佢. 99係鬼婆, 所以揍仔方式同我哋中國人好唔同. 佢一句話:bb喊唔會冇原因! 就係咁, 阿仔就成日被佢抱住. 大佬, 佢嘅揍仔方式係: every minutes stays with the baby. 所以以前99成日用揹帶揹住老公做嘢.冇一分鐘離開過老公 佢都係用佢嘅揹帶揍仔方法嚟灌輸俾我 (我當然不太同意, 因自己會好唔得閒, 分唔到身) 西方揍仔方式: 以bb為中心! 但中國家庭揍仔模式係: 以家長為中心. 媽媽決定幾時抱bb. 唔係bb喊, 媽咪要抱.(呢個都係我阿媽, 身邊所有朋友認同).

其實兩者都有好處&壞處: 抱bb多, bb會增加安全感, 大個會有多啲自信. but 非常黏身, 亦又可能做成demanding baby (因bb喊, 你抱佢, 每次bb用喊, 就可得到想要嘅嘢) + 腰酸背痛!!

我心中同你一樣, 常有conflicts: (1) 因唔想阿仔被寵壞, 但又唔想佢冇安全感而令到佢冇自信. (2) 以前讀過child psychology. 明白到bb係需要人攬.先會得到滿足. 但現實生活, 唔係成日可做到. 你會攰, 你會唔得閒. 而且亦冇諗過bb係會貪得無厭! 所以我成日都會掙扎, 成日反問自己有冇做錯.

記住, 抱/攬 只係其中兩種comforting方法. 仲有其他, 如: 唱歌, 傾計, 其他部位身體接觸, 不過呢啲方法要bb大啲才會學懂.

你有冇用毛巾包bb (好似醫院方法) when she is fussy??

我都係嗰句"Every baby is different". 你會最清楚bb需要, 所以要自己adjust. 有啲咩唔滿意, 就出聲. (99都係咁話), ok??

Re: Any Mom lives in USA Part III

zic & carina_mommy,

i prefer 抱bb多 d but my mom always told me not to 抱太多 coz she thinks when valerie is used to it then 唔抱唔得.....however, when valerie started to cry, she will be the first one to hold her lor

i think 抱bb多 d or 唔抱太多 are both okay, depending which one you think is more suitable to your way of parenting.

valerie is used to be held moat of the time and honestly, the most difficult time was when she was 3-7months old. during that period of time, she's so addicted to being hold and it is really tiring ka. however, when she learned to crawl by 7+months old, she prefered crawling here and there than being hold lor :evil: now, when i am holding her, she will move around and want me to let her go and crawl :-( :-( :-( looking back, i did miss the time when she's very attached to me and was so sweet lying her head in my arms i believe that you cannot spoil a baby before 1 just by 抱bb多 d...it is their need to be held and based on this rationale, i did and do hold valerie a lot

my 99 came to see valerie when she was 4 months old. she's a very active person, typical hk ppl, and she told us that it's too boring to stay with us so she stayed with her sister and would come to see us for an hour and half at most, 2-3 times a week. even with so little contact, i know how annoying it could be when your 99 keep saying or doing something that you do not agree with and she wants you to follow her way ?-( ?-( ?-( my 99 insisted to shave the hair of valerie which me and my hubby didnt want to....but she's soooo 'fan' that we gave in and shaved it when valerie was 7 months old.... :-( :-( :-( *sigh*

carina_mommy, if you are not happy with your 99's way of raising carina, maybe you can talk to your husband and let him talk to your 99 or you can tell your 99 ...better to tell now than later coz as conflicts are building up, it will be hard to deal with.
