Thawed milk will turn yellow if leave it outside for some time..usually around 30mins will become 'smelly' already..then he'll stop drinking! Already tried many days, and now dun dare to try cos he'll 'boycott' milk for a few hours after tasting the yucky milk
Yup..sometimes if he poo a lot i'll put some on the wet wipes to clean his butt too..somehow it's cleaner leh
Peg

yup i want both lansinoh & blue egg. oh! thawed milk will turn yellow ah. i thought it already taste metallic once it is thawed. wah! he boycott milk!! then bad idea to let him try.
yeah, when i use wet wipe, no yellow color. use physiObebe and the cotton ball turn yellow! oh yah about using it sparingly... sometimes i cheapo lol before bath, clean his face with it then use it to clean armpit, back of knee then add a few more drops and clean his butt hahaha... my hubby was like "OMG!! throw it away and use new one!!" when he saw it. lol
try not to so long dont pump and becareful of plugged ducts. i think the only reason why now it takes longer to pump the same amount is because some milk are turning plug ducts and slow down the flow (what happened to me during 1st few days after giving birth).
maybe u can pump before work, around lunch time, reach home and before sleep? 6 hrs interval in the day & 8 hr interval at night cos sleeping.
anyway, from what i read. the fuller ur breasts are, the slower ur breasts produce milk. good to reduce supply. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/supply/milkproduction.html

worse is my working hours is long...
Sharon:
My baby rejects the bottle too - but mostly in my presence. When I m not around and she is really hungry, she will still take the bottle. I find that getting someone else other than myself to bottle feed her usually works.
Peg:
I am beginning to store EBM but not much. Thawed EMB smells horrible ( did not dare to taste it) and am apprehensive about feeding my baby that. Will probably aim to give her "fresh" EBM and resort to thawed one when desperate.

hi mummies..
ylang, read about the 'white tongue' issue ur baby has.. my dauhgter also., very thick coating. and this is despite me cleaning twice a day..
recently, i wipe more often and a bit harder.. eh works leh... her tongue not as white liao.
guess must continue a few more times b4 u see results.. it took me a few days of 'harder' wiping b4 i notice the coating getting lesser.. but too hard or too far in hor..
how do i prevent blocked ducts ah? its the 2nd time in 2 weeks that i got blocked ducts(on same side) and i hate it cos it hurts!!

will just have to keep in the fridge instead of the freezer! Can keep for 3 days max in the fridge mah..normally i'll just store them in the medela bottles in the fridge, at night will sterilise all my 7 feeding bottles, pour the ebm in then keep them in the fridge lor
Actually now starting to leave him at my SIL's in the afternoons already, so he'll get used to her place otherwise when i go work he'll have to stay there for 12 hrs a day lor! So when i go over, will bring 2-3 bottles of milk let her feed him
I felt so bad giving him the yucky milk also! he'll also vomit a lot after that..so now dun think will ever give him that again!
Also dunno can handle work a not..sian..somehow will be working at a new place! dunno anyone there and have to get used to the place and people..double stress!!

is this abnormal or what???
8-10 am : nap after feed at 8am
10-12pm : awake, after waking up for feed at 10am & bath at 11am
12-2pm : awake, after feed at 12pm
2-4pm : nap after feed at 2pm
4-9.45pm : awake all the way. catnapped at most total of 15min in between 2-hourly feeds, crying after feeding, giving pacifier etc
9.45pm : fell asleep after pacifier (pro too tired) only to wake screaming suddenly 5min later, with red face, arms n legs waving madly in the air
10pm-12am : extra feed of 60ml FM in between 10am n 12am feed; inconsolable crying even with carrying n pacifier
12-2am : still crying until feed at 2am, then fell asleep with pacifier
2-4am : slept till feed at 4am
4-7am : slept till feed at 7am, surprisingly 3h interval; now he's awake when norm he is napping now!
Why the long waking hours??? In the meantime, he yawns all the time as tho he's tired. But he doesn't sleep! Or is he oxyden-deprived, so he's yawning?
Why the crying??? Colic? Hunger?

My boy doesn't sleep much nowadays also! Yesterday broke record..was awake from 8am to 7pm! Only slept for maybe 1-2 hrs in between!!
My boy's 'screaming time' is from 7pm..lol..i must carry him upright with his head on my shoulder and walk around for 1 hr at least then he'll sleep!

Jul,
my boy also stays awake for hours during the day and no matter what time he sleeps, he'll definitely wake up for his 2hr feeds. What I did was rented a bouncer/take-along swing and let him sleep in it during the day. The vibration/rocking effect does help to put him to sleep. You may want to rent/buy one to try.
It may be a bad habit to cultivate as your baby might not be willing to sleep by himself at night but luckily for me my boy seems to know the difference between day and night and can fall asleep by himself at night without the need of the bouncer/swing.

Any recommendations for helper in Sembawang area or Ang Mo Kio area? Need the person to help in washing clothes for the family (abt 4 adults + baby), ironing and mopping the house. Thanks!

kyrie, think as they grow older they actually drink less. So think your ss would definitely be enough. You plan to bf for 1 year?
Peg, i mix frozen EBM with my older girl's FM, just to sweeten a little since frozen milk has funny smell. But she likes it anyway cos as a baby she is used to drinking it. She even asked my maid where did u buy my milk huh?

when I went to the pd for checkup. he told me that when bb reach 3 mth, their brain will be more developed and can sleep longer at night. My boy now will skip his 12mn feed, but will still wake up at 3am.
Somehow 3 mths is like the magic month... colic / reflux issues also improve around this time, so you should be able to feed more.
your bb is relatively younger than most of us here, so just hang on for a few weeks more.

Hi,
I need help.
Will be travelling to bangkok this coming weekend. I am still feeding my baby with BM,and will be expressing it during my trip but my baby will not be with me. So would I be able to use those storage bags to store the milk and bring them back with me using ice packs in the plane ?
Or would using bottles be better ?
I need to get hold of milk bags or bottles and ice pack within these few days.
I would also need to get a box or bag to contain 4 days supply of EBM with ice packs.
Does anyone know where to all these ? Or have recommendation on better ways to transport EBM back....
THanks so much

my boy doesn't mind thawed milk currently phew! my heart goes out to you, kyrie...
as for sleep habits, he currently takes his naps in the sarong (yaolan), and usually need pacifier as well to get him to sleep. at night, when we take him to the cot, we'll switch off all the lights and he can go to sleep by himself. usually feed at 10 pm then he wakes up around 3 am for next feed.

Just back from review with the pd.
seems like sam's reflux problem is the main culprit, n not really phlegm which my mil keeps insisting he has! he does have some lah, but it's mostly the milk reflux causing 'blockage'
in his throat, thus the rattling phlegmy noise.
did the suction thing again to clear away the mucus caused by his milk reflux. he seems to be able to drink more comfortably now, n there's no more funny grunting noise from his throat. of course it'll come back, but at least he's feeling better for now.
worse.. pd said sam has colic. apparently the wake up n scream suddenly with arms n legs jerking madly is colic! super sian
i just gotta 'tong' n feed him ridwind n babylife n pray that the 'colic curse' lifts by the magic 3rd month. arghh.. 3 wks 3 days more to 12 weeks!
thanks, tzen, kikilala Really hope this period will pass soon.

Sharon,
Thanks so much for the link.
It really does seems like a big project. Lucky im only going to Bangkok and does not need to express in the plane but the details on how they store the milk back really helps.
Thanks so much !
Now I need to get those stuff ready for the short trip. Though troublesome but I think its all worth while
One more qn, are we able to store EBM, chilled for around 5 days ?
