(2015/01) Jan 2015 Mummies
- Thread starter lalaa
- Start date
Ya his clinic at mt. A. I'm not sure abt the charges. Can't recall. U might wan to give them a call to find out. Their nurses v friendly. Can tell them ur concern over e phone n they will advise if need to see doc.
One of the mummy recommended him to me here when my #1 had high fever few mths back. Find him patient n v detailed. Then when I learned that he also specialize in low birth weight bb, I decided to op for him to be #2 pd. Gynae was worried that #2 might b low birth weight coz of #1 history so need him to standby.
I do latch once or twice a day. But he is like nv full from latching. Like machiam sucking for fun. After suckling for 20-30min will get angry n cry. So got to give fm. My boy is 3wk+ n drinks 100ml bm,fm will either 60 or 90ml. Depending on how close was e last feed.
Pd advise to feed when he wants but he can refuse to zzz n cry almost every hourly especially at night. And cl will make fm for him. Wish to set a pattern when cl leaves Tmr. Else feed every hourly can die sia

Give him more milk during his feed? As long as he doesn't puke it's okay to let him drink more
Tried to give more but he will take ages to finish. Like he is not that hungry but since its offered, he will take his time to slowly drink. Still can't catch his drinking pattern... Right nw, he is drinking 100ml ebm for 1h still left 50ml! Tink today no mood to drink. Going to waste my ebm le *heartpain*
He is a norm pd but knw how to see pre mature bb ba...

I am using the simple wishes hands free pumping bra as I'm typing this. Its a lifesaver, time goes by ALOT faster when the hands r free to surf the net, check Facebook etc. Last time hold the pumps until the hands damn sng, make me so cranky n depressed.

found this online, it is way too funny not to share:
SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT - A BABY'S PERSPECTIVE!
OK, here's my situation. My mummy has had me for almost 5 months. The first few months were great - I cried, she picked me up and fed me, anytime, day or night. Then something happened.
Over the last few weeks, she has been trying to STTN (sleep through the night). At first, I thought it was just a phase, but it is only getting worse. I've talked to other babies, and it seems like it's pretty common after mummies have had us for around 6 months.
Here's the thing: these mummies don't really need to sleep. It's just a habit. Many of them have had some 30 years to sleep - they just don't need it anymore. So I am implementing a plan. I call it the Crybaby Shuffle.
It goes like this:
Night 1 - cry every 3 hours until you get fed. I know, it's hard. It's hard to see your mummy upset over your crying. Just keep reminding yourself, it's for her own good.
Night 2 - cry every 2 hours until you get fed.
Night 3 - every hour.
Most mummies will start to respond more quickly after about 3 nights. Some mummies are more alert, and may resist the change longer. These mummies may stand in your doorway for hours, shhhh-ing. Don't give in. I cannot stress this enough:
CONSISTENCY IS KEY!!
If you let her STTN (sleep through the night), just once, she will expect it every night. I KNOW IT'S HARD! But she really does not need the sleep, she is just resisting the change.
If you have an especially alert mummy, you can stop crying for about 10 minutes, just long enough for her to go back to bed and start to fall asleep. Then cry again. It WILL eventually work. My mummy once stayed awake for 10 hours straight, so I know she can do it.
Last night, I cried every hour. You just have to decide to stick to it and just go for it.
BE CONSISTENT!
I cried for any reason I could come up with. My sleep sack tickled my foot. I felt a wrinkle under the sheet. My mobile made a shadow on the wall. I burped, and it tasted like pears. I hadn't eaten pears since lunch, what's up with that? The cat said "meow". I should know. My mummy reminds me of this about 20 times a day. LOL. Once I cried just because I liked how it sounded when it echoed on the monitor in the other room. Too hot, too cold, just right - doesn't matter! Keep crying!!
It took a while, but it worked. She fed me at 4am. Tomorrow night, my goal is 3:30am. You need to slowly shorten the interval between feedings in order to reset your mummies' internal clocks.
P.S. Don't let those rubber things fool you, no matter how long you suck on them, no milk will come out. Trust me!

Hi Jan mummies, can I ask -- how frequent are your post-natal massage sessions? is it an everyday thing?
sorry ah, first time mum, i did a search but most threads dont reveal how frequent the sessions should occur

Hello Mummies.
Any idea how often should we replace with our baby's used milk bottles?

My post natal massage was done consecutively for 7 days on my 3rd week after giving birth (didn't want it earlier as I was still recovering from episotmoy wound).
After the 7 days my tummy was back to my pre pregancy size, it's my 1st pregnancy

When my bb full month it was his actual edd day. Nvm the nurse lah, sometimes they do their job till numb then is a bit insensitive. As long as bb healthy next time pre or full term won't matter so much.
