Dont feed too much.. if bb tummy is feeling better liao .. dont feed le..

http://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/ask-heidi/is-gripe-water-safe-for-my-baby.aspx

Avoid brands that contain sodium bicarbonate. This can upset the pH levels in your tiny one’s tummy. Also look out for vegetable carbon (charcoal), as it may cause constipation or blackened stool. Gripe waters that are made from herbal oils are the safest and most natural options.

** i bought the Woodward's one.. and it contain sodium bicarbonate. I feed bb two days straight once per day and he got very cranky on the third day..(i stopped feeding him gripe water) the whole day he kept pooping and alot of poop.. i got to feed him 11 small meals the most ever since he's born.. i almost died of exhaustion >_< That was ytd.. today he is feeling better alrdy.. falls asleep right after all the feedings, burp very little, poop is back to 2-3times a day and normal amt, and no tummy rumbling sound.

this morning at 6am i managed to pump out 150ml, feeling mighty pleased with myself, n decided to offer it all to my boy cos at 3am he drank 140ml. n past couple of days when i only pumped 80-90ml, he will usually finish the supplement FM of 45-60ml. then guess what, he stopped drinking at 100ml, n no matter what i do - change diapers, walk around the house, he will give me that ke lian gagging face when i try to coax him for the next hr. So in the end i had to throw the balance 50ml away. wah, pouring that much BM down the sink is like somebody slicing a piece of flesh from me, sooo heart pain! kicking myself for being stupid, i learnt my lesson, next time i will give only 120ml, which was my previous avg n what he drinks, chill the balance, n if he fuss before the next feed, then give him the 30ml.

i tried so many "boosters" that i don't even know what works n what doesn't. my supply did increase from the 30-40ml in the initial wks to avg 120ml now, but its been stagnant for the past 2 wks. Some of the so-called boosters i have tried r fish soup, lactation cookies, red bean soup, coconut oil, flaxseed, rolled oats, milo.

bbcripps said:
yes my gynae told me if never FULLY dl, meaning u pump, or supplement with FM, AF will return much earlier, as early as 4 wks after your deliver. i think mine came back 6 wks after i delivered. i say "i think" cos up till now, i'm not entirely sure its my AF, cos its somewhat different from my previous AF. firstly, my lochia didn't fully clear before i had fresh red bleeding, the lochia was slowly clearing to a watery light brown discharge, then suddenly, on V-day, i had fresh red bleeding. This bleeding didn't smell, unlike lochia which has a stale smell, so i didn't think it was lochia. Anyway, the bleeding suddenly got even heavier 4 days later, n i had AF cramps 6 days later. i bled fresh red blood for 12 days, n up till now, i still have bloody discharge. its been 2 whole weeks! i'm so confused. but i figured since we just gave birth, it is normal for our AF to be abnormal when it first return.

Seem like AF but normal AF shld be more leh...mine just not much...so abit confuse AF shld be more ba...blur blur

Gwen Lin said:
Vomit maybe cuz ur mom thin it? Actually i believe nowadays fm has improved and powder:water mixture is providing enough hydration, therefore wouldnt be "heaty" like what our parents say..by thining the fm, it's the same as u feed baby water.. And by thining fm, meaning ur baby is drinkin more water and less milk.. less nutrient for bb and bb may feel hungry faster? day time ok maybr cuz bb is active? at night maybe too much water cuz indigestion? Im not so sure is these are happening to ur bb.. but instead of thinking whether it is suitable, maybe try to feed the correct mixture and see whether bb still vomit or not first ba..


**im not sure whats the difference bet nan ha nd nan pro.. but shld be the one with the hypoallergenic that has the protein that is easier to digest.

Im currently using similac.. and i heard from my mummy friends, sayin that similac is very sweet and sweet cuz constipation.. so during my visit to the gynae.. i asked dr and he also said the same thing about similac and specifically ask me to get friso or nan ha cuz of the hypoallergenic thing.
Click to expand...

Haiz I using similac too cos that is the only brand that has the small tin at the ntuc near my place. Then whenever lo gets constipation I will feed him a lot of breast milk he will suddenly give a few explosive loads of shit. I asked my PD whether similac causing his constipation my PD say all formula actually the same, 惜字如金。 is NAN avail in small tins?

bbcripps what is the diff between DL and pumping ? milk is also produced and I'd expect prolactin levels to be high in both cases
Click to expand...

i think the crux here is not DL, but DL on demand, so apparently as n when bb cry n u DL, the body reacts accordingly n produce more prolactin than say we pump out based on a schedule... same theory as why DL on demand will increase supply more than pumping. i tried DL but i really cannot keep it up, cos my boy will latch 30-45 mins one side, then i will need another 30 mins to coax him to take the other side, if he does, that's another 30 mins, if he doesn't, i still have to pump that side. end of day i don't know how much he actually drank, i got abit of phobia after the whole dehydration episode, so if after a while if he cry, i'm not sure if its cos he didn't get enough, no confidence la, so i feel compelled to supplement with FM. n i can't do anything else cos i'm constantly feeding or coaxing him to feed. super duper exhausting. so in the end i decided to fully pump, at least i pump 20-30 mins, feed him + burp him + change him another 30-45 mins, i still have 1+ hr to do other stuff or rest till the next pump. plus i know exactly how much he drank, so if he cries, i can rule out hunger as one of the possible reasons.

Ya.. my similac just finish.. now using nan ha 1 too.. dont worry.. the explosives poop is coming.. xD
Click to expand...

talking abt explosive poop, this morning, my boy was making that poopy face, so i know he's trying to poop, so i stood there n wait, n he pooped out quite a fair bit, n then i still gave him another 10 mins, nothing, so i thought the coast is clear, started cleaning him up, then suddenly, omg, one shot of poop so explosive it shot all the way to the end of the changing table, if not for the pack of cotton ball at the end of the table that's in the way, the poop would have ended up on the guest bed next to the changing table. faint! is it normal that the poop got a lot of tiny air bubbles in it? its not watery, there's bits of stuff in it, so i don't think its diarrhea but its also filled with tiny air bubbles, so strange.

Oh ya, u may be right. My mum thin the fm = LO drinking more water instead. I dare not try the fm after the last vomiting coz it really scare me when the milk flow out from mouth and nose very fast and alot. Will try again. If LO vomit again, then I should chng brand right?

Does Nestlé provide sample for nan ha?

Body massage with binding i think if within 3mths pp still effective cuz the womb also take that amt of time to shrink back in place...

Breast massage is different... Its not enjoyable at all... Its super duper painful bit it clear blocked ducts n made the milk flow better... It is something i def NOT looking forward to have one!!! But I had 3 in the first month!!!

Ya.. cuz baby is ok with the milk.. poop maintained at 2-3times a day.. so i continue to use similac.. but i alrdy intent to change liao..

Idk whether will this happen when u use ur mamil gold.. but my similac cant dissolve well on water.. will have tiny bits left.. so have to like shake quite abit.. then i scared by shaking liddat will have gas.. so i just let it be and dont let baby drink till the end. Just now evening try the nan.. ok leii.. dont even need to shake..

So did she poop before she sleeps?
