Serene, i started using the binder on the 3rd after my csec till now (day 14). i wore it 24/7..
Iselle, u managed to see ur PD liao? Ur baby is only 4 days old and if it's really plegm, the hosp would have advised u on how to suck the plegm on ur discharge... NOt that i doubt ur CL, but sometimes CL buay zhun and better get the PD to chk..
Cyn, dun worry too much abt your CL not being there.. I can sure u and ur hubby can do it. Basically, u need to know how to bath, change diapers and feed and bb cries at this time mostly due to hunger. If u suspect ur bb has colic/ wind, feel if her/his tummy feels bloated or is round round... if so, wind him/her sufficiently after feedings or add windrid into the milk during feedings or spoon feed ... Must tell yrself u can do it, afterall its ur bb =)) But get help from ur MI/ MUM for the cooking though... =))
Eng Bee, welcome and congrats!!
Kiam Kiam, i oso got inverted nipple on one side.. but my bb was still able to latch on ... but the problem is she always latch on for a such a long time and still hungry after that, that i decided to pump out so that i know how much she is drinking... Coincidently, this is also the side producing 50% compared to my right side... On milk flow.. Today is my 14 day, my flow is not fantastic but steadily increasing by the day ... used to be around 60-75 per pump session, now its 85-100 per pump session.. I pump regularly every 3-4 hrs, even thru the night =) And i suuplement w FM... All the best...
