Hi Mummies,

Have you heard of "No Rinse Waterless Shampoo"? First time hear it so want to ask if anyone has any comments on it to be used during confinement since we can't wash our hair?

Thanks!

Hi joypoh, my due date is same as you and I am also using the same CL as you but she identified herself as Yu Lan with the same hp number 91096523. She was recommended by a friend and I contacted her in Jul. She mentioned that she is only available in early Oct and recommended that her friend to do the confinement for me for the 1st two weeks and she will take over from her if she's no good. I was told to contact her friend and mentoined that it's Ah Mun who referred me to her. (I suspect Yu Lan and Ah Mun is actually the same person) Also, Yu Lan mentioned that she will not be available in 10 October as she needs to attend for her daughter's graduation (instead of wedding as mentioned by you). Luckily, I happen to chance upon this thread and share about your experience. I am seriously reconsidering about confirming her friend as my CL.

To keep it short, her cooking is terrible!! My mum, mum in law n my hubby all say her cooking is super terrible! My hubby even say he can cook better than her.. She even had a cooking recipe book which I found she hide it in my kitchen cabinet.. She dun even cook longan red date water everyday n keep leftover longan red date water for me to drink in fridge.. She complain n gossip abt everything.. Say my house kitchen small, kaya not nice, bath tub not good, massage lady fat, baby clothing not gd, my relative fat, etc etc.. N she keep some half cook meat in the fridge n recook tomoro for mi to eat..when I tell her off she even threaten mi to pay her salary n she will leave.. N she love to go shopping.. Ask my mum in law go shopping with her few times but mum in law reject her.. I bring her go buy groceries at giant end up she go shopping buy clothes herself..

The worst thing mi n my hubby feel abt her is that she I not appreciative! She even tell mi aunty guihua is not gd etc etc.. She should have some ethics n be appreciative since it's aunty guihua who recommend her the job but yet she turn around n gossip abt her..

Aunty Meimei Hp is 0102319077
Aunty guihua Hp is 91305526, 60122878467

Hi mummies,
My bb's BCG has yellowish pus, she is now 8 weeks old.
Is it normal?
What should I do?

 

[clarewoo]

Hi mei80,

I'm interested in the Mamy Poko diapers but you do not accept PM.

 

[alohajosun]

Hi royce88,

Same here....my ill son has it too. He is now 9 was old. Was thinking if I should bring him to see PD...

 

[royce88]

Hi alohajosun,
Planning to bring bb to see pd too.
Recently, she cries a lot during the night till abt 3am.
Maybe due to colic... Got hb to get gripe water. Hopefully it helps to reduce the night colic.

Anyone try 'sacred tea' to boost milk supply? does it really work?

 

[royce88]

Hi alohajosun,
Didn't visit pd as bb's BCG no more yellow pus... The swell also subsided. Thank goodness.
Hope your bb too.

 

[royce88]

Hi sushi1465,
I have not tried it before.
To boost up BM, you can try to drink more soup especially fish bone papaya (green ones) soup... Add lemon grass for fishy smell. It really helps for BM..
Good luck!

 

[Hangry]

Hi royce, thks. my cl doesn't cook fish papaya soup for me n she keep saying im those with no milk supply de :-\

btw, do u wake ur bb up to have milk when its feeding time if bb still sleeping? if bb can't finish the milk, must we feed until bb finish it even if it takes more than half an hour?

 

[royce88]

Hi sushi1465,
Oh... Ok. I am just like case. No milk supply.
Many told me that I should pump or let bb latch on every 2-3 hours. This will definitely help in increasing BM.
But me felt very tired and lethargic after delivery and slept most of the time during my confinement. So BM supply very low.
Well, important thing is that, never never get stressed up which I tell myself... Else post natal depression will slip in easily... There is formula milk so no worries.

About bb... Some might say have to feed bb every 3hrs (approx) and must not skip even during in the night time (our sleeping time) but I don't wake bb up during the night time for feeding if bb doesn't wakes up. Let bb and yourself sleep during the night, have good night sleep. Don't stress yourself and bb. (bb may be in the sleepy mode and may not suckle for long and on the other hand you are trying to feed)

If bb can't finish her milk (formula) at the usual timing.
- I will definitely would like my bb to have a good habit of finishing the milk (don't waste milk)
Things you may want to ask yourself:
- is the amount of milk too much?
Reduce the amount, Bb may drink less (perhaps bb has small stomach) but more frequent feeds needed.
- is the flow rate flow too slow (bigger teat size needed)?
Bb may be sucking too hard and too tired to go on.

The above are just a guide.
Hope these might help you.

Cheers

 

[Hangry]

Hi royce, thanks so much for the reply. my milk supply is really getting lesser. sigh.
My girl drink very slow during day time unless she is very very hungry. but she can finish the milk very fast during night time.
Btw, do u give ur bb pacifier? i find that my girl sometimes will look for pacifier bcos she will open her mouth even after she is full. wonder should i give her pacifier (currently no giving her afraid it will affect her jaw). do u advise to give or not to give? if yes, which brand is good?
thank u

 

[cherryc21]

Hi sushi1465,
I read the posts and you mentioned your milk supply is getting lesser. I have extra supplies of bm which are all stored in the freeze, which I would like to donate if not they will go to waste. They were expressed in Sep-Oct. My baby is now 10wks old. If you are interested, please let me know or email me [email protected]

 

[royce88]

Hi sushi1465,
If bb opens his/her mouth especially with tongue sticking in and out even after milk.
1) no cries
- monitor bb, observe if no abnormal behaviour, perhaps you can ignore.
2) accompanied by cries
- insufficient milk intake, need to increase feed gradually, perhaps by 10-20ml.
- if after every feed, still mouth still open and crying is very persistent then suggest pacifier. It may or may not help.

Pacifier
- giving pacifier is up to individual, the mother or the bb.
Some mummies would like to pacify bb by giving pacifier but bb just push it out and vice versa.
If you are afraid of the jaw thing, perhaps you can get those with flat teats, think avent has it. Or you may want to google on the effect on pacifier and it's type. Can't really i advise much.

My bb rejects pacifier.

Hope you get your answer soon.

Cheers!
