Not sure if I can make it or not. Will let everyone know by tue
AmeliaXu:
hee ... I was still using NewBorn diapers until recently when upgrade to the next stage diapers. My bb's legs are quite skinny too. Maybe thats why the poo leaks
my gal also sucking on my hand, finger, arm (if I'm carrying her and her face is facing me). Her mittens always wet too. yucky. I have to keep changing it. Tried introduce pacifier to her but she kept spliting it out. Still cracking my head on wat to make her kick this habit. Maybe apply chilli on her mitten? But as LiLi said, my bb tend to suck on her hands if she's hungary too.
On introducing FM, I agree with olively and LiLi. I would prefer the alternate method of giving - BM, then FM, then BM again. Best to intro as early as possible before bb is too used to BM and moreover u are going back to work soon. I would try let bb get used to bottle first before FM becos otherwise I wont be able to tell which bb is rejecting - the FM or bottle. My bb had nipple confusion when i first intro bottle to her.
I usually give a little more water than the stated amt, like 5ml more becos my Avent bottle always leaks leh. hehehe
if too watery, not enough nutrients. If too thick, bb's stomach will find it hard to digest. After giving FM, need to observe if bb is ok to it. My bb got upset stomach when she took Friso (Soy). When switch to this organic milk brand, she is ok with it.
iceblue:
so far I hasnt seen any adults with scratches on their face. So shld be ok for bb to scratch face? Of course we have to cut their nails frequently lah.
How's ur bb homecoming tonite?
Enjoy your weekend with bb!
Gamze:
U shld file a complain to the polyclinic regarding this doctor. As a doctor, his responsibility is to heal ppl, not to make it worse or even endanger the patient's or bb's life. If the ppl at pharmacy had not warn you, the damage to your bb may even endanger her life! Moroever, he is an OLD doctor! Not a young Medicial Officer whom had just graduated! The mistakes he made were even worse!
ginn:
Doc advised to give bb gripe water. That will help to cool her down. Sponge bath will help too. Keep room airy.
My bb also like tat when she had her 1st 6 in 1 jab. But I din give her gripe water in time then. She got fever eventually. Her next jab next month I'm going to force gripe water down her throat this time.
blueb/catmomo:
I also missed my bb terribly if I go anywhere without her. Even a short 2hr trip to supermarket also will reduce me to tears although she is at my MIL's place for bb sitting. Next month when I go back to work, I really need to prepare tons of tissue boxes. I sure cry like mad one! The good thing is that I'll be bringing her back home at nite, but still, haiz. Can we extend our maternity leave to 1yr instead?
graciegal:
looks like many mummies are giving up or already gave up giving BM liao. Pumping is really tiring. I also wondered how long more I can last. These few days i tried resting and drinking lots more. Supply increased marginally only. haiz. No choice lor. I'll continue to give my gal BM for as long as I can or until my breast really dun wan to produce milk anymore.
mummyo/sheepish:
I was abt to post the same reply as sheepish
hehehehehe ... ya lor better not put ur hb's surname before yours, otherwise it will read as "Loh-Soh" (long winded) hahahahahaa....!
The good thing abt this is that you dun need to decide now ... you still got slightly less than a year to decide!
DJMama:
maybe ur girl's sleep pattern and milk intake will change as she grows. my bb already changed her sleep routine twice to date. milk intake can range from 40ml to 120ml. so dun worry abt that too much now. maybe your girl will sleep after u reach home soon? you never know
