Click to expand...
I am drinking green papaya fish soup everyday and also eat papaya fruits at night or as snacks. Also eating alot of sesame oil chicken and ginger chicken soup...

Pumping wise I pump for 5min and then rest to massage the breast before pumping again for 5min. I am doing 15min per 3 hourly using this method and at least can get 100ml now...if pump for 20min can get a little more maybe 110 to 130ml

Wow.. You doing a great job by pumping so much milk. Think really hv to drink green papaya soup for supply. These days only eat confinement foods chicken with ginger, black fungus veg, chicken essence soup.. etc. i did massage everyday before pumping too but supply still so little... Feeling stress!

Hi mummies. .I started to have milk supply only at day 5. Avg of 30 ml every 3 hrs. After drinking the longan red date drinks everyday and green papaya fish soup once. Now I have avg of 140 ml every 3 hrs.

Thus dun worry, your milk supply will increase slowly.

Now I feel very tired having to pump milk every 3 hrs. Means can't even sleep well. How does other mummies with insufficient sleep manage?

Anyone delivered in Glen recently? How was the service ?

I'm at gleneagles now.

I have to warn you that level 7 is currently under reno. Maternity and delivery rooms are at levels 5 and 6. They drill, knock every hour and break for 1/2 an hour. From 10am to 5pm. Interesting thing is, baby can sleep through the entire noise. But we can't. The reno works are expected to complete in September I believe.

Oh yes I also drink longan red date drink everyday. I am drinking it like water during confinement now. Other than taking medicine I have not drink any water since delivery.

Ya very tiring to pump 3 hourly but actually can stretch to pump after 6 hours...just that the breast become super rock hard after 6 hours but dont think it is advisable to do so although there is more milk compare to 2 x 3 hours pumping (2 x 110ml). Yesterday I tried pumping after 6 hours for 20min and got about 290ml. Sometimes I missed my 3am or 6am pumping when I am too tired lol...

My plan is to check myself in hospital first. MIL rush down to my house to take care of #1&2 then my hubby rush over.

However.. Hehe I got a gut feel my hubby will miss the delivery!!! Then I'll be doing it alone! But I'm more worried abt settling the 2 kids first so I'm ok w this arrangement.

I prefer not to bring the kids to hospital coz I wouldn't know what situation I will be in. Eg pain, emergency etc. hubby also need to settle admin etc and make decision should something happen to me.

Frankly speaking, I was trying so hard to recall what I did for my #2 but I totally can't rem!!! I went for a check up and was sent straight to delivery. Hubby went to fetch #1 and I can't rem the rest! He managed to make it like 15min bef I pop! Hahahhahaha

I feel safety of bb more impt. No matter what muz go hospital first! I hope I rem this when it happens...hehe
 
I delivered today at around 4 pm. Baby boy was very good.. came out within 5 pushes.
Epidural was a lifesaver cos it allowed me to relax and rest during the whole induction n contraction. The side effect of epidural is the shivering but it will go away.

Congrats Joie!!!
 
Heard that weekends usually more crowded! Hope there's no drilling over the weekend!

My hubs was very fed up he couldn't rest even when we had no visitors.

But now that we're home, also can't rest with all his visitors! -.-

My gal also like that..latch 1 side not even 15mins fallen asleep tried all ways to let her latch the other side but ahe refused to open her mouth and sleep so soundly that you wouldnt bear to make her wakie. So what I did is pump out and can see how much she drinks and can monitor..at times if she suddenly v.hungry I will let her latch while awaiting for milk to heat up. Communicate with your baby..you've bond with ur baby during your pregnancy and baby will understand.

My sis - mom of 2 told me..talk to ur baby and she will understand. I didnt know that it works until that time my right breast clogged and I did what my sis advice.. miracle really happened n im surprised that my baby understood me and only help me latch right breast..left she dont haha

Hi my baby also has jaundice still due to our blood group difference. I also have direct latch problem but clearing his jaundice is more important so I changed to bottle feed my expressed milk now. I don't think I will attempt direct latch again since he is alright with bottle feed and my milk supply also increasing steadily with pumping. These few days no sunlight in the morning and evening so my baby jaundice still at moderately high. But I have increased the feeding volume as per PD advice (90 to 100ml every 3 hours but I am feeding 70ml every 2 hours due to baby stomach still small) and hopefully baby will get better by next appointment. Luckily my baby only take 5 to 10 min to finish his milk and he usually fall asleep right after so i still got time to rest abit. Yes when you are breastfeeding you have signed up for the lack of sleep club so bear with it and jia you!! =) Rest whenever you can.
