I also 15hrs. Congrats to u.
I also tried n failed coz no colostrum yet. He just getting familiarize with the two breast friends which nurse said is important. She also told me 7% weight loss for newborn is expected. I decide I am gg be chill. Of coz I will try my best if I can tbf but if can't I won't let him go hungry n will supplement with FM. No point getting so stressed out.Definitely congrats to you. Now I'm trying to breastfeed my boy. With the nurses, it seems so easy. Without them, I totally feel frustrated. Feeling soooo blue.

Congrats! Were u in KKH? Cuz KKH's labour ward always full.Hi all! I gave birth 3 days ago on 21 may.. normal induced with epidural. It was such an amazing journey to visit hell awhile for a battle and came back alive!
haha.. yeah thats how I describe it.. I was admitted 20 may at 11am.. inserted tablet to induced at 12.45pm. Nothing happened until finally 6-7pm the contraction began.. it was sooooo painful and caused my water bag burst. 2-3mins each contraction and I was still waiting for labour ward. Too full on that day.. 12am managed to be in labour ward and my dilation was 5cm. I opted for epidural to release pain, but for some reason the pain was still unbearable. The pinching pain on my pelvic bone was soooooo terrible. Gosh.. I kept asking them to check if epidural was done properly but it took them an hour to come and check.. but by ard 3am I was already 10cm dilated! after 5 cycles of contractions and pushing.. Baby was out safely by 3.49am. She was born 2.99kg and 49cm. I won my battle in hell.. Hehe..

Now I am struggling with my breast milk.. managed to squeeze abit of colostrum on day 2, but not enough to feed my bb.. she was already taking 30-40ml of formula milk on day 1.. and today is 50ml already..
Pumping also produced 5ml only so far.. need to work harder..
Nightmare over. Or is it the beginning? I'm not sure. Just delivered this morning naturally with gas. was like watching too fast too furious. In delivery suite at 3am, baby out at 5+am. I thought I was dying.

I bf my #1 for 2mths. Nvr know this #2 oni for 2 weeks. Haiz...Congrats to mummies who popped! Rest well & enjoy your confinement!
@highness, don't despair. Try again. Either for this kid or your next. I failed at bf for #1 but succeeded for #2 & #3. You can do it!

@furbee, how do u do pumping and playing with baby? I always put my bb aside when pumping. Then my bb keep crying.@Vinka , for me my supply also reduced all of a sudden after day 12. Now i try to pump if i nv latch bb. Night time i too tired so pump 11pm and also 4am. Jus maintain the supply even if it decreases, cos one day it will increase again.
Dont give up... Jus the thought itself will demotivate u. Dont look at ur boobs when u pump.. Try to look n play with bb, listen music watch ipad relax, drink hot water or milo... Eat some chocolate! can make u feel happier. just look on the bright side that no matter how little milk, jus give bb what u have...the best breastmilk!
@isenggirl

Try get a massage lady to help u unlock the ducts. It helps as I have numerous block ducts earlier too. Aft that I just continue to pump on regular basis. It is a diff journey in bf. What ever decision u made, it doesn't make u less of a mother so don't be upset! U r still most important person in your LO eyesOk.. The block ducts got so furious I'm unable to empty breast and I think it got infected and I'm getting a fever. I'm gonna say goodbye to the milking biz. Upset...
Been to doc, and confirm is breast infection. Given antibiotic, anti-inflammation, and pain killer. Tell me to go see lactation nurse again Tmr, to clear the ducts. If 2-3dats no recover, I need to see a breast surgeon. Faint!Congratz @sunstarmoon ..
@MTB-2015 , dun worry, v normal wen cracked n sore nipples come out watermelon juice! Haha i pump out 30ml when watching koream drama den saw got my milk was red! Threw it away den i rested 1 hour after applying nips cream den i pumped again all was well.
@highness , massage n apply compression, take medication if required, or even get a massage lady to urgently go over help u to express out.. Once the blocked ducts clear, ur boobs will auto have milk de... Now even if u stop also will be blocked... U dun stress urself. Even if stop bf, dont feel down... Fm also is gd enuff. Take gd care!
@mylilsheep , i place bb beside me. When cry i stop pumping one side den latch... Sure will sleep back in 3mins den i pump again lor.. If not now i standby pacifier haha.
Apply 1-2 drops on my hands and rub, then put my hands on LO's feet and hold for a while. Then wear socks for LO.Mummies, do you apply ruyi oil for your 2w old LO? Some ppl say it is too "hot" for the infant.
What's the purpose for applying ru yi you on feet ?Apply 1-2 drops on my hands and rub, then put my hands on LO's feet and hold for a while. Then wear socks for LO.
I used ruyi oil for my #1 and current baby ever since they came back from hospital. So far so good. You have to try a little bit and see how your baby react to it. If you are concerned, don't put to much. It's to get rid of wind if apply on tummy. For application on the soles of the feet if I'm not wrong is to keep baby warm. I applied at soles of feet and put on socks for both my kids as well.What's the purpose for applying ru yi you on feet ?
My baby's tummy bloated, so My MIL gave me ru yi you, but my friend told me that it's to strong for newborn baby. I really confused, don't know whom to listen to.
You have done very well already... don't give up.
during my stay in hospital I had to use hand manually pressed out breastmilk for my jaundice baby... 1 hr hand pressing only producing 5 ml... so tiring.

Hmm..Dear all,
Thanks for ur encouragement! I have moved back on saturday and is more or less settled with little babe at our own place. Hubby thinks its for the better that we shift back as everyone is under alot of mental stress and should have a break.
My mum is still calling my relatives to try to convince us to shift back. I just wan a good rest before CL leaves... Thereafter maybe just bring baby to her house in the day as its near hubby's workplace... She went all dramatic yesterday and started carrying baby for the first time since cl came and asked baby to promise her we will shift back...
My cl also seems more relaxed at our own house...
I'm going home tomorrow from hospital. Starting to get nervous as we are going to be handling everything alone without the help of experienced nurse.
Just curious, for baby, do i blow the fan towards them or should I oscillate the fan? Also, can baby sleep in air con room at night?
So you guys wear mittens and socks for the baby at home?
Lastly when do you cut their fingernails? My LO has really long nails on some fingers. Like just now when the mittens came out of his hands, i panicked. Very scared he scratch his face.
