Can I still give BM to bb if I got flu and/or eat flu medicine?

When shld we bring bb to see PD? My 3mo bb is showing sign of coughing. Initially we thot he got choke on saliva. But nw the cough is more frequently heard.

Bdmummy: Oic... Thanks for the good advice. So remove the teat frm the bottle and stuff cotton ball? What we usually do is put some milk for him to suckle.

My yield varies throughout the day, ranging frm 60-100ml each session. Plus eating those tt food/drink tt heard can help increase supply e.g. oats, fenugreek, milk. Anw my supply is not alot to begin with. Stime demand more then supply.

Jerlyn: Usually I'll pump for 30min. So whole process might take up 45min (incl washing of parts etc). Yes, I'm looking at pump during lunch time. Will hv to pack lunch and eat alone. Haha anti-social liao

Jerlyn: Recently it is taking a long while to coax bb to slp aft his night feed. Longest time is 2hrs. Hb and I took turn to carry him. By the time bb finally fell aslp is the timing for hb to prep for wrk. Our fault bcos we nv teach him to slp on his own. Since birth he was carried to slp

Jerlyn: My bb doesnt like to lie down to play. He likes to be carried. Hence I can only pump while he's slping. I'm gg back to wrk end of the mth too. Am still thinking on the timing to pump as unsure hw my boss/colls/wrk will be like if I pump during office hour. U nv knw they may say OK in...

I bought longer pacifier but bb still reject and prefer bottle teat. How?

Chevy: yes!! The funny feeling when hb leaving for wrk. There were few times he left when I'm slping. Cldnt find him when I woke up and felt lost. Told him must let me knw when leaving.

Jerlyn: my bb is 3mo. Mil helped to look aft so tt I can pump every 3hrly and rest bcos I'm doing night feeds. My bb hasnt learn to slp thru.

Most of the time I'm at hm with bb & mil. Will go out on wkn when hb is ard. And I feel like a released prisoner. Everything is so new/fresh to me. Haha...

All these while got 2 ppl to look aft bb (either hb or mil and I). Last Fri mil was sick and havent recover ytd so she's unable to come over. Hb doesnt hv much leave also. Hence it was my first time looking aft bb myself ytd. Physically and mentally draining as he likes to b carried even for...

Mummyval: Nuk pacifier got silicon and latex. Which is better?

Envious mummies with babies tt are chubby like "michelin". My bb is 3mo but only 6kg. He drinks v little (+/-100ml) haiz. My bb dislike Avent pacifier (mayb too short?). We noticed he treating the teat as pacifier. With it then he can slp. Which brand of pacifier is longer?

Aspialle: my bb is 3mo but weigh 6kg only (25% percentile). This morning he woke up at 3+am for milk then refuse to slp until 6am. I'm very tired. My bb will nap aft feed too else he'll b pekchek by crying. But his feeds and quantity are very irregular.
