I compromise.. Do something that she likes, even if it means iPad / YouTube on laptop, but limit her time. After that we do something else, ranging from story books to watching her play scooter or just simply roll on bed play tickle and chit chat..

Mine also goes to full day child care and the schedule is similar to yours. Also not keen on gadgets... if we do let her on ipad, it is always accompanied and we do it together... I never let her use ipad on her own.
regarding bfing, I used to hav really bad engorgement till I cry everyday. this time I massage ard the breast when I pump n when latching. so far so gd. make sure the breast is empty at each session. I find there are still clogs if I latch cuz more difficult to massage... will hand express to clear the lumps.. hope this is useful
oh i have lump in the middle of my armpits... not sure wat is it.. tried to massage the lump there while pumping but still cannot clear...anyone experienced this?

The lumps are milk/ fat deposits... The milk ducts actually are connected all the way to your armpits... So if u get lumps can jus use warm towels and massage them.

I don't know method to hand express although I have colleague who is very good at it, just 10mins and her yield is so much! She say it is better than the pump.regarding bfing, I used to hav really bad engorgement till I cry everyday. this time I massage ard the breast when I pump n when latching. so far so gd. make sure the breast is empty at each session.

Gosh y cant god make BFing simpler abit huh..
Hi disneybabe, thanks for your sharing.
is it scary to be awake during the csect?
so you will know when gynae cut open the tummy and bring bb out? the sewing and everything....
im afraid that my imagination will run wild and start panicking...
the good thing is mommy get to see bb once bb is out.
i heard that backaches are quite common for those who has had epi before?
I had GA few times and do not have bad experience with it, so im ok with GA.
But seems that most gynea and nurses are pro-epi, not really pro-GA coz epi does not affect bb but GA makes bb more drowsy after birth.
hi clumsybabe, thanks.
Ok, i go look for single pump. otherwise i will be chained to bb for at least 1yr.....
my #1 was a milk monster, don't if #2 will b the same
Gosh y cant god make BFing simpler abit huh..
I question that too!!!
Hi ruimom, me too!!!

I hv been drinking a lot of water too....so far swelling only in the evening.

TBH, I've never been a huge advocate of BF-ing. In the sense that I never quite enjoyed my BF-ing journey with my #1. The so-called bonding sessions didn't quite work for me. It was more of a chore than anything. Although yes, there were benefits of BF-ing that I did enjoy which was the immunity for the baby and also the convenience of latching when baby is hungry. By the 3rd month, my ss really dropped and I already started to supplement a bottle of FM at the end of first month.
My whole BF-ing journey only lasted 9 or 10 months? And weaning was really easy coz' #1 just wasn't into breasts anymore and preferred FM and solids. That being said, with #2, I will still try BF-ing. I've already supplemented with FM when there were situations where he had to be hospitalized for jaundice and my EBM wasn't enough or there were times when after latching and expressing, my BM still didn't fill him and I didn't wanna latch again because I felt I needed more rest. But I've been consistently latching and expressing after each feed and bottle feeding him with the EBM to help him gain weight. I'm glad I see some results.
I think BF-ing more often than not is about perseverance. I strongly believe that every mom has milk for the baby, just a matter of whether they picked up the right signs of the baby to feed, whether they can bear the pain of engorgement initially and hand expressing and gradually keeping up with building SS. It's a very difficult journey on top of having to cope with the pressures of being a first time mom or having to care for another kid in the household so no one will judge you should you opt out and go for FM instead. I mean, my #1 had a hybrid of BM and FM and grew up fine. She's been on 50th percentile all the way and I've been very happy with that. In fact, I'll try to let her go on FM for as old as she can because I do see the benefits of it.
That being said, I support the idea of a BF-ing support group here. It definitely helps to share our fears, our queries and support and advice for each other to push each other to move on.

*sigh* I am having issues with that now too coz' #1 goes afternoon session and morning i cannot let her be overtired. So cannot go skate scootering or cycling otherwise her energy level will be low for class. So end up? Watch tv. But I try to limit her time on TV also and once in while, she'll come in to wanna play with her didi. Or she'll do colouring or she'll play with her toys. Hopefully I can establish a routine for #2 soon then I can spend more time with #1.

No it wasn't scary. The OT staff were entertaining me. I kept asking questions - What is this equipment for? Why do you need to maintain such a cold temperature in the OT?... blah blah blah... After all, it's not often you get to stay awake in an OT.
No I didn't know I was already cut up until the anaesthetist said he was gonna help to push. It was over in like 30min or less? I was more fascinated with the speed than anything else. I even commented to my gynae, Wah you very good leh... so fast everything done and over with.
I'm not sure about GA. Just my own preference not to go for GA cos of the side effects I tend to experience when I wake up.

My girl also having persistent cough. She's on western meds now. Once the quick fix is done then we'll start to adjust with TCM. Maybe you wanna check her nose as well? Cos for my girl I'm beginning to suspect the persistent cough stems from thick, stubborn mucus in the nose.
