Me too, e last 3-4kg is like impossible to shed. Was sick last wk n ate very little, thot i shld hv lost weight but nooooo still e same! Sianz.
Can fit into some of my work dresses but not nice la, cos got buldges. But my shorts cannot! Thighs part cannot pull up. Those can pull up cannot button. Boohoooo how to go back to work when so out of shape???

Finally made an appt for my haircut this fri. At least stop looking like siao lang with messy hair anymore.

The last 3kg really damn hard to lose. I'm still mostly in my leggings n lose tees. Sometimes I look at the mirror really appalled by my own shabby appearance. Face so coarse n oily, hair unruly, tummy flabby. Super unglam

@minidonut! Wishing u a speedy recovery too!
On the siao lang part.. I just came back from my hair color & treatmenr appt and feel oh-so good!!! 2 hrs of me-time and listening to 93.3 radio music uninterrupted. . Haha.. and the "step out of salon" super nice hair (which usually loses its shape quite fast when hair meets wind.. haha)..
Facial appt booked this Sat too.. all the works to be done before I start work 7 Sep!
Came home to a LO who waited for my (.)(.) instead of the bottle.. aiyo.. hope she will guai guai take bottles when I go back work..
I can fit my bottoms but not the tops.. so all my usual work dresses can't be worn till I stop bf-ing.. now still trying to look for easy tops to wear to work so that can pump easily during lunch..

Speedy recovery mama! Hope the test tmr turns out fine! Remember claim travel insurance too...
Still have 4kg, been eating more thou since ny #1 pumping days....now last time can lose the weight, now getting difficult!! Agree with @eatsleepgym , no time to exercise!!
Hi mummies, I have been following this thread since the start of pregnancy.
Have not joined in the chat as for some reasons, unable to do with my mobile. Finally switched on my laptop to say hello.
Hope that I will be able to join for the next gathering. My LO is turning 4 months this week. Time flies.
Hihi mummy, yeah glAd u managed to join here.. Yes time flies, soon bb be sitting, crawling..... By den hope we can manage to squeeze one more gathering!!
@sweetness i aso been wearing loose tops, mt old bottoms all cant zip or button up lor. Sad. Have to use belt n cover the hole if i really need wear jeans. Really trying to eat less to force myself to fit into the old jeans but honestly aint easy!! Dun wanna spend $$ to kip buying clothes aso. Sigh..... The trouble of motherhood!!
@sweetness I also start working on 7 sep! And now ny hair is still messy like siao.. Waiting for this weekend to go salon haha..
Good thing i am back to my original weight with more flabby.. But mostly my working clothes are dresses, not so easy to pump lei. Sigh.. Dunno got time to shop anot. So far only wear my loose shirt and pants to go outside. Super unglam la..
Anyway, i feel my scalp is more oily. I used to wash hair once every 2 days but now i feel my hair very smelly after just a day. Anyone?

I too have problem letting my LO take to bottle as he's too used to DL. He will only drink from bottle when he's super hungry but will only drink like 40 ml to curb his hunger pang and wait till he's hungry again.
Any mummies manage to get their LO to take to bottles more?
Mine.. She drink 80-90ml from bottles. Will only reject bottles when feeding time is not up yet.. unless she is hungry after tummy time or poo..
But i started early to let her drink from various type of bottles since born. Mixed with DL too at times. I guess its just a matter of habit coz sucking from bottles need more energy than DL

Pd has advised that usually if baby cannot finish the heated ebm within a feed. At most u shld keep for one hour then best to discard. Cos bacteria will start breeding in the open. Try nt to reheat too. Altho very wasted and heartpain, best nt to take chances. We were ignorant on this initially and caused my bb to fall sick as we reheat warmed ebm which she cannot finish...

Just got back from my mini vacation at melaka last weekend. Had food poisoning and I din lose weight. Have 7kg stuck with me to reach pre preg weight. Dunno if its because I haven start work. Hai.. Dunno what to wear to office cos i cannot fit into ALL previous clothes without looking like a dumpling. My biggest problem is my breasts and tummy. Really cant exercise cos if i jump a little, it hurts... Feel bad to look forward to the day i can stop bfing, but everytime there is a drop in supply, i feel upset. Guess this is motherhood.

@Anna0214 , dun worry , u r not alone to feel this way..
I oso hiam bfing inconvenience and troublesome. Whenever we go out on wkend, got to fit my pumping timing; go out after I pump and come back within 6 hrs. And I dun feel good taking office hours to pump oso. I go out meet customers oso need to fit my pumping timing. Not to mention dun look good in clothings.
But whenever supply drop, feeling so upset. Try whatever food to boost the supply and hope can feed LO to the fullest. I oso been eating more cos scare supply drop. So I Nvr slim back to pre-preg weight.
Aiya... So contradicting..

Started work and pumping at work... My pumping bag looks very bulky as I put everything in tupperware.. Even my colleague comments my bag looks bulky compare to others... How about you all?
I have the same feeling, looking forward to stop bfing at the same time scare supply dropping now..

@evelyntan83 , I use the SG50 skip hop bag for all my office pumping barang and also bring a pigeon fridge-to-go bag, on top of my usual handbag. So I bring 3 bags to work everyday. lll

My lo also reject bottle, at most drinks 50ml each time 4hourly, and only naps 30mins max when i at work. Now 1week already, got improvement to 80-100ml, but also takes a long time to finish up. I try to DL when i reach home to make up for his milk loss.. Haha. Takes some time for lo to get used to bottle feeding, so maybe can give lesser amount, den see his cues, like start fussing den make warm the bm. If not will put to waste.
I put my pump parts into ziplock bags, den use recycle bag to keep everything, even the fridge to go also put into the recycle bag. At most 2 bags to work each time. If not sure forget this n that, den look like santa claus..hahaha with so many barangs

I put my pump parts in tupperware so that I can rinse with hotwater after wash... I also bring a small brush and soap to wash the parts... Then I put everything (incl cooler bag) in 1 big bag (currently using the free Nestlé pink bag).. Don't think the SG50 bag can fit all my thing. I actually got a spare pump to put in office so that I don't need to bring to and fro everyday..
I oso using a Tupperware for my pump. To use hot water to sterilize. I got a ex-coli bring the whole sterilizer to work everyday! But she driving la..

Haha.. Bringing sterilizer is too much, I think.. I'm lucky that my dept has a mini fridge to store the BM so I only use the ice pack for transport back home..
Lol.. started work these 2 days.. still figuring what to bring to work and back home. Yesterday first day of work... it was horror! My avent double pump was sooooooo super duper loud like my whole table is shaking! Lol... today change to unimom, it was a breeze! The avent small but horror! Lol.
Same leh. I can't wait to stop pumping. But everytime supply drops I feel moody. Hahaha... now lo is 4.5 mths old. I'm still limping along. So not motivated this time round. Sigh..
Wah.. U pump at ur desk ar. Ur colis can hear u pumping lo..

Dreamfeed is to feed bb when he is sleeping without waking him up. so he will not feel hungry and make noise and wake himself up. I think for breast fed babies or easier just latch on.. then both can just lie on bed without getting up. Hehe

I might be popping by later to see see look. I just changed to similac n my bb initially didn't like the taste as I suspect not as sweet coz previously he was drinking enfamil. I just changed to similac intelli pro recently. Heard Nan is closer to breast milk.

Currently I'm pumping twice at work (10am &.4pm). So in a day I pump 4x in total. My company has lactation room for us to book but only 3 in total. Lucky I got my colleague help me book before going back to work.
I pumping 4x a day, once or twice during work. Pumping in a meeting room which converted to storeroom. Jiayou! Not easy and very tired.. I tend to missed the 5pm pump in office cos too engage in work. Maybe need to set alarm clock, haha..Will bb suck if we force them to suck? I nv really tried.

Hi mummies! I'm heading to the baby fair today! Let me know what u all keen to find out and I can spy for u and post here!
I'm going to buy pacifiers, teats and look see if there's anything else to get.. probably some PJs cos she's growing out of it.. pacifiers are standby for when I start work in 1 week's time and my mum can't soothe her... haiz. . Think abt work then stress.. saw u all post abt pumping at work etc.. I intend to pump 1x at work during lunch only.. and for nights where there are cust's dinner then add 1 more pump abt 6pm. Hope all can work out well..
I'm packing my stuff in a old ugly looking cloth bag now.. thanks @highness for the idea! Time to dig out that sg50 bag!
The past few days bm supply drop.. so stressful.. then quickly eat all the boosters, oats, milo, blah blah.. and dare not lax in my pump frequency & time.. then lucky yield normalise yesterday.. bf-ing journey is really full of ups & downs.. let's jiayou tgt mummies!
On babies sttn, my LO has been sttn mostly since 2+ months. (She cannot see me typing away right.. so hopefully won't pantang.. lol).. nite time she will make noises.. but as long as she never cry.. we won't go to her.. and she usually can fall back to sleep by herself.. she eh eh I also don't offer her milk.. so her pattern now is last feed & sleep at abt 11am then wake up abt 7-8am for milk. Now trying to bring fwd her sleeping time to 9+ 10pm. Hope can be successful. . But also means I've got to lights out earlier too.. so no TV for the mummy as well. . Zzz..
Last but not least, TGIF all! Enjoy your weekend!

my boy is the opposite compare to yours.. He sleeps very early like 8pm or as early as 7.30pm so we got time to watch tv and enjoy a bit BUT he will wake up a few times in the night.. Same as you we try not to feed him as we feel that he woke up not for feed but to play or want to get someone coax him back to sleep.. So the last feed is about 10.30pm and next feed around 6am.
