i need some hugs mummies.....

Friday night I was rushed to hospital for acute back sprain (which I found out later). I was not able to walk at all, scare die me. All becoz I carried baby in wrong position and also he was too heavy
Just discharge this afternoon. Was doing half past six pump and dump in hospital coz of the pain meds and cant really sit straight.

I was able to almost tbf my boy before this episode. Now I pump out, supply almost half of what I previously pump out. Sibei sad. I hope my supply can go back up.

And seriously the pump and dump is SIBEI SIBEI SAD. Only you all can understand

Take care babe! Supplement with fm first and dont stress!

Today try fm again, follow the tin instructions. My LO still vomit. Dun noe is it nt suitable to enfa or my process is wrong.

8+am - latch
11+am - latch
2+pm - 3oz of enfa
6+pm - latch
Vomit alot after 10--15mins

My mum say LO nt use to fm. She say everyday feed her once she will get used to it soon. She refuse to change other brand. Sigh

I think you should just buy a new tin and hide /throw the old tin away. Then your mum boh bian will have to use the new tin.
Think lo not used to formula also won't vomit one..

 

[ding2505]

Not sure. Kkh took both me and bb blood to check. Will let me know by next week.

Anyway it's been there for 3 weeks. Went to pd 3 weeks back but still hasn't recover. So was referred to skin specialist

Oh no.. Hope he gets well soon. In the meantime rem not to eat seafood!

 

[linlin11]

Brought bb to kkh today to see the skin specialist. Some fungal infection on his neck area since cny.

The nurse poke bb three times to get his blood test done. See liao super heat pain):

Oh my son also. red red patches also arnd neck. Went to see pd last wk apply lotion but seem to be even worse. Hw u determine is fungal?

Based on the sequence she only vomit after latch not fm

And next question is she cry for milk then you latch or you just follow your timing and latch accordingly

 

[ciakes]

After so many months of no menses, I'm so sad it's back today. Hello cramps and pads. Hubs said if I don't want my period he can help me and we can have another sg50 baby. Thanks but no thanks really..

Agree..I don't think ur bb vomited cos he's nt used to the formula..

[GetawayJunkie]

Anyone know if it's ok to eat scallop?

Yes, I ate during confinement too... My mum said not considered as shellfish... I dunno how they define what can or cannot eat...

 

[GetawayJunkie]

Anyone having the feeling of not wanting to go back to work? Lol.

Me... I'm starting on 1 April on a 3-day work week. What r ur return to work arrangements like?

u all buy strollers le?
if yes, which brand n model?

Bought a Babyzen Yoyo...

Any of u continue seeing pd that is arranged for us during delivery? Aft discharge did anyone of u go to polyclinic for follow-up n jabs? Touch wood if bb need to c pd will u bring back to that pd or search for nearby pd or asking recommendation for experience pd?

I go polyclinic for follow up and jabs and chose a pd nearer to home.... Where do u live? You need a pd recommendation? Actually my initial pd at TMC is quite good... If not for the distance I would have stayed with him...

Cheer up babe! Dont stress yourself up.. most impt thing is to take care of your body now.. bb can always supplement with fm, but if your back didnt recover fully or 烙下病根 wouldnt do good for you and baby in the future ma.. Jiayou jiayou!

Actually i am not too sure. pd told me its fungal infection. But the skin specialist says they can't confirm so got to do blood test to check.

She cry for milk then I latch her

Mayb overfed? Cause bb don't know how to agar.

 

[momobb]

Any recommended milk warmer? I need to get one now as the ones my sis gave cannot warm the milk lor... using hot water sometimes tend to be too hot...

If u r looking at Philip avent, I have 1 to let go. Brand new.

 

[momobb]

[cooperlim]

When it's full, your breast will be v hard and lumpy...

Can walk slowly ard. Hospital gave me 4 types of pain meds, of which 3 are breastfeeding safe. I only took the first 2 types, dun wan too much pain meds in breastmilk. Pain still bearable after the meds. Not carrying baby at all, which I very much want to. Haiz

This amt at 1 week post partum very good le. But you should try to aim pump every 3 hours. Jiayou

Oh thanks
Was thinking not hard so inside empty?
To increase supply I think water/liquid is very important
I been drinking a lot of red date / soup/ even the sauce in the steam fish.
Just keep feeling thirsty

Hey @gateway junkie long time no see!

I took 16 weeks straight. That's my organization culture ba, if not go back overwhelmed by work, 3 day workweek also become 7 day workweek lol.

For those breast feeding mummies whose period have came alr, I I found this in a Chinese TCM maternity book I borrowed, just sharing.
Disclaimer- I hv not tried myself so I dunno whether these work! Let us know if it helps.

No need op right? On pain killer can solve e prob? Did doc say prob might come back again?

Really cannot carry bb when u hurt ur back! Don't take it lightly. I hurt my back during #1, although not as serious as ur case, I seek TCM treatment for nearly 1yr b4 feeling better.

 

[ding2505]

Have anybody tried the fisher price infant to toddler bouncer? Is it good? Thot of getting it so that can use for longer time..

I have been having spotting since delivery... Stop a couple of days in 2/3wk, follow by a few days of black blood then back to spotting again. Haven't stop using liner at all. U all stop as in totally clean?

No need op. Took xray everything seems ok according to doc. Its just the muscle sprain. Can only wait for it to heal by itself. Hopefully no need to rely on pain meds too long.

Not sure if anyone shares the same sentiments as me but it seems taking care of a NB is more stressful than being in the office ! give me a taX computation to complete with a tight deadline is better than taking care of bb cos at least there is some element of control on my part !!

Mine look like that. My mil say maybe is milk powder too heaty. Shall monitor now.

Ya agreed. I rather go work too. Me take care 2 ...more stressful too. Till nw still.not enough slp. Haizz

I miss the adult interaction about sth else other than my Bb....

 

[GetawayJunkie]

Have anybody tried the fisher price infant to toddler bouncer? Is it good? Thot of getting it so that can use for longer time..

I have the bouncer in the link below... It's quite wide so def can last till toddler but it doesn't really bounce or rock, the recline/rocking motion is quite gentle, which is not a bad thing...

Same here. And for tax professionals, the big thing is the Singapore budget.. And I am going to miss a fair bit of the workshops / discussions on it

 

[GetawayJunkie]

hows ur babyzen yoyo?
good?

The ride/steering is very smooth and it's really easy to maneuver around. Setting up and folding it is also pretty easy but you need to bend down to fold it, compared with the one-hand operation in the Japanese strollers...

 

[cooperlim]

Another question.. When not pumping, there this slight pain at nipple area.. Dunno how to describe.. 隐隐作痛..is it infection?

I don't think so, when I don't pump I also feel nipple pain. Apply nipple cream and air them...

Is the fabric hot? Currently I let lo sleep in a little travel cot thing when in living room but the fabric of the mattress is a bit towel/ furry kind and he gets darn hot n sweaty when sleeping in it.

 

[gammahedging]

Lol looks like I am the only one thinking abt not gg back to work!

now I am also thinking of furthering my studies and advancing in my career...

Mine comfort latch sometimes. I always let him unlatch himself. Sometimes I fall asleep too as he comfort latch. Sometimes I will just look at him, enjoying the moment. But since my mil is sometimes the care giver at night, she has manage to use her own way to make him slp.
