calamari n pauline,
wow really envy u all, got such gd ss.

I tried pumping after latching, but usu the next feed my bb will fuss like complaining no milk.
Im now taking the nursing tea, hoepfully can increase ss.
Initally I was on total latching, but recently I realised that at nite bb always doesn't seem full after latching n ss also low at nite so tot of pumping to increase ss. Im feeling quite lousy this week as kept worrying that ss nt enough for bb

hi miumiu, ya, got cd to guide but i stil dun dare to try on my NB yet... nvr mind la, jus leave it til he bigger then see how.. if no chance to use then sell lor.. wahha..

erm, i maybe also int in the freezer, let me the % price...


erm, btw, i also tried to pump my milk and let bb drink at night, but duno isit thaw nt warm enuff, he spill out almost half or even all after feedin him lei... normally hw long u all warm the ebm arh? me jus warm ard 5 mins, pour a bit on my palm to try but nt warm lei(me use hotpot water, not boiling water) in a glass and turn and turn lei... but stil nt warm, then i give bb drink liao... if its too cold, wil affect the milk or bb nt arh?

i duno if i shd get a bottle warmer... me only gt a NUK steraliser..
 
btw, my pumpin now, only managed to get 50ml.. hw do we knw hw much shd we give bb to drink arh? cos my bb is 1 week old nia.. and i latch everytime on demand...

somemore , may i ask, if i leave the milk and pump there, and then 10mins later, i try pumpin again , can mixed together inside right? since can last 4 hrs at room temp?
 
shokel if i feed ebm, i would test the temperature at the back of my hand, making sure it is warm wor.
u try expressing ard 3h interval... don overpump.

mstan ya wash only. so cl will wring dry first.

wahh joanna not bad leh ur cl can mop alternate days. mine only mop kitchen after cooking nia. alt day using magic mop.
 
sandy, im not gg to dr fong. if i need the pills, i'll ask my hubby to go. cuz that time the nurse say if next time i need it, just ask hubby to go can liao. btw, on mon you went for hep jab, did the nurse do assessment or take weight only?
 
i feel so bad.. having tots of giving up breastfeeding again. I think i'll be happier not breastfeeding.. but then, i will always feel bad towards my bb coz I'm not giving him the gift of breastmilk even though i cld.

sigh, feeling selfish and lousy as a mommy again.

today while planning to pump, bb wakes up for feed. so i latch him instead. think my ss really cant meet his demand!! last week, i latch successfully(one time only), with only one side. today, gotta give both sides. after that can pump 20ml.
sad.gif
 
cayenne, why u wanna give up? tired of pumping or ss low? haiz.. actually i also share thoughts as you. plus my mum say i nv eat nutritiously(i eat instant noodles or tabao cuz no time to cook), how can my bm be nutritious and good for bb? moreover she see bb feeding on frozen or chilled bm like not very fresh as compared to freshly done FM. -.-"
 
my ss is more than bb's dd (for now).. it's just myself feeling physically tiring to breastfeed. i really hate the feeling of sore and bruised breasts and nipples.. the inconveniences of breastfeeding.. etc..

the only reason for me to hold on to breastfeeding is to not feel bad tt i'm not giving my bb the benefits of breastmilk..

i'm constantly secretly hoping tt i cant breastfeed coz of legitimate reasons like insufficient ss, medical reasons, etc.. i'm a selfish mommy.

Ainsley,
since you said baby cry after feeds then i don't think she wana suckle for comfort or wan milk lei. I suspect it could be colic lei?
 
cayenne - or u dun pump so often so as not to have sore nipples??

shokel - ebm must be like ur body temp.. juz when u latch bb.. the milk from ur body is a bit warm.. like 37 degree.. u can try holding the bottle or pour a bit on ur palm when u express ur bm from ur breasts the next time.. then u will have a guage on wat is the temp..
 
jeanie - mi oso dun reali eat healthy.. eat tabao.. drink bbt.. coke.. etc.. ha!! but still gib bm to bb... opps..
 
Just came back from Kiddy Palace! Mummy using pigeon wipes can check out the 6 pax (82pcs) @ $19.50 only, find it quite a good buy

hi mummies, sorry been busy thus haven logged in for a while. Need some time to catch up!
Thanks, Shaine for helping to organise the 3rd month bash - im looking forward to it! Let me know if there is anything else i can help/ contribute.

By the way, i need some advice.
After my confinement (non-vegetarian), we will b going over to my in-law place to stay. They are vegetarian. Thus means i will be having vegetarian diet.(until i go back to work - coz means lunch i can eat fish/meat)
So during this time, i am afraid of affecting my breastmilk for baby.

Does any one of you have any advice, what kind of supplement I should eat? Ive read a bit and Im thinking of taking DHA or Omega-3 pills.
Any to recommend?
Thanks!!
 
sharon, i got the pigeon wipes from OG at $19.50 too.

btw mummies who are bf-ing, are u taking any supplements like fish oil, calcium?
 
Hi Siri,
I am breastfeeding, I still take my left over pre natal pills like calcium, DHA and multi-vit. On top of that I also take Fenugreek to boost my bm ss.
 
oh, the nurse frm my gynae's clinic say can continue to take fish oil cos it's gd for bb's brain. so i'm thinking if i should get another btl frm gnc.
 
Hi 1xMummy, yeap, will definitely "bomb" your phone if i need help, keke... Hmmm yaya heard need supplement, maybe you can call and ask Dr. Heng or ESH lactation nurse??

miumiu/siri- haha okok, nv go there and see :p Good buy hor!

I have leftover fish oil and calcium but too lazy to take :p but heard it help...
 
shokel i use warm water. how long depends leh... but i will do it until it is warm

should we still bf while not eating nutriously?
actually the other time i went to one of the baby fair. there was a booth promoting bfing. so according to the speaker, no matter how "unhealthily" we eat, our bm is still beneficial to bb. of coz if u can eat well that would be the best.
 
Bluegal, nt colic. She cries r nt those in pain kind. She jus cry for something every 1.5 hrs. V punctual.. Last time 2 hrs v punctual. if I feed her, she will drink.. N ther will b peace. I oso duno wat she wants liao. Shd I give in to her?? She will outgrow this?? Sigh..
 
hey Ainsley, you can actually bring your gal to parentcraft so tat they will access why your gal cry at a certain time etc...they will access from 10am to 4pm tat time i enquire b4 as I feel if i can't cope with my boy alone (now still have my confinement nanny's help) they said tat they will find a way to tackle the baby's problem etc..maybe if you want can call up parentcraft n ask more =)
 
Genesis, my girl doesn't cry at certain time only. It's every 1.5 hrs after feed.. Hmm.. I try to call n ask. Gt any operating time? I can find the number in Tmc website?
 
call liao.. they said dun offer he but try other methods to soothe herr. she mayb taking it as pacifier. will she wean it off soon if i dun offer her?
 
btw, does anyone bb have jaundice when bb born? cos mine is on mild jaundice, these days no sun, duno hw to tann him? any here using white lamp to tann bb? will jaundice fade away itself?
 
hi siri,
what kind of fish oil r u getting from GNC?
Is it recommended for breastfeeding mummies?
Alternatively i am also tinking of getting the supplements which i took during pregnancy from my gynae.
btw, does any1 knows when we can start to feed plain water to our babies?
We were told tat bf babies do not need water until older, but i m nt sure when.
I haf given plain water twice to baby when she had hiccups. What abt rest of mummies?
Thanks!
 
1xmummy, babies only need water when they take solid.. so 6 mths dun need water. my PD told me dun give water when hiccup cos may choke..
 
1xmummy - ya.. wat ainsley say is correct. Y u wanna gib water to bb?? cuz bm is oso liquid.. PD advise if u reali wanna give, just give a little each day.. not every feed..
hiccup dun give water.. bb will choke..
 
Hmmm I ever ask my PD whether should give water when baby having hiccups, she said can but a few spoonfuls. So if baby got hiccups I normally give 2 spoonsful, but I not tbf. I giving her formulae at nite so that she can sleep longer n when out for shopping etc. so abit of water will not be too heaty too. Personally feel 1-2 spoonful is fine esp when baby's lip seem dry or even stucking out her tongue and not feeding time yet
 
i give water once a day, mix with gripewater.

I did take my leftover supplements during my confinement period. Now lazy liao..

Just now i pump, only yield 100ml. Ss drop by half. Wanna cry liao..
 


GG Lee (gg_lee), dunno the medication got help or not leh... i think if keep let baby latch on, will be better than any medication. But i did took lah.

Cayenne, take it easy, if sore nipples, dun pump, just latch. I only pump when my baby fall asleep and din seems to finish the full breast esp at nite. Or noon time when i dun feel so tired. Dun push urself too hard and be depress, when we depress thats when we think of stop Bfing. Me also sometimes think tat way, but i keep telling myself, she going infant care so better give BM.

I finally cook myself lunch one day, of cos the pasta is made the nite before haha.
Cold pasta, 80gm of Fusilli, 1 small can of tuna in olive oil, 1 tomato chopped into small cubes, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Very simple, cook the fusilli and pour extra virgin oil to coat, leave in fridge. Next day before eating, take out pasta, pull in tuna (use fork to mash into smaller bits), put in tomatoes, salt and pepper and mix well. wah lah, cold pasta for lunch. (Fast fast do finish and eat before baby cry)

next time i shall try fusilli with egg, smoke salmon and see if nice or not.
