At first my bb don't like it too keep her gum tightly close.. haha
After a few try she's okay but still give a unhappy look but after putting her into tub she's happy.
If clean the tongue first she don't really like so I clean her gums gently follow by tongue.

Yeah should just try to tap tap on bb mouth until they open. They quickly clean. Haha, better to make it a habit so next time teach them to brush teeth and all easier.
Yeah, join the FB grp!!easier and faster to chit chat there. haha.
My #1 hates to brush teeth too. Sigh.. He only allows daddy to brush for him.

I use cotton balls soak in water, tear up to smaller pcs, wrap ard finger n clean the tongue. For hiccups, my baby hiccup everyday. Sometimea i give a bit water, sometimes i juz let baby hiccup.. but will pat her back
Hi, how does it feel to have blocked ducts? I am not sure if I have blocked ducts cos my left boob does not hurt at all and feels soft, but it is not producing a lot of milk. Maybe ard 10ml in 15min if lucky. Currently am only sustaining my baby on my right boob. Do you think Betty will be able to help diagnose what's wrong if it is not blocked ducts? I'm really desperate to get the left side to increase supply! Can u pl also PM me Betty's number? Thanks!

Yes I drank, eat fenugreek pill. But still supply low. Sad! I no block cos my breast soft.
I think I am like u. Breast feels soft, so prob not blocked, but no milk. Even pumping for 15min I can hardly cover the base of the bottle. I had a fibroadenoma removal from that side 6 yrs ago so I'm not sure if it's due to that.

@JYYL87,

hope this article helps.
How often do you pump? U have to pump every 2 to 3 hours to increase supply. For each pump, after your milk stops dripping into the bottle, extend the duration to another 3 to 5 mins. Before you pump, drink hot drink/soup, apply hot towel and massage. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I've been doing that. I suspect it's due to the surgery
but I really hope not! I hope to exclusive BF till at least 6 mths and I'm worried I can't sustain from just 1 side (right side). Btw I'm from Nov Grp, just delivered on 3 Nov.

I do have the same feeling that my mil wanna carry the bb well I can't blame her cos my confinement is at my mum place. I just cheer myself that someone is willing to carry her so I can rest.

@Baobei2014,
not sure if i mentioned this to you b4 but if you wanna increase supply, u have to pump more often, at least every 3 hour. If you can, every 2 hour. I pump very often when I first started for my #1 - every 2 hour even in the middle of the night and my supply built up very fast.
I didn't take any supplement until much later when I went back to work and my supply started to drop.

But now is already 25th day of birth, does e 2-3hrs pump still works to increase milk supply?
Seriously im very tired everyday ( I know it's not an excuse) but bb hungry every 2-3hrs then need to pump 2-3hrs, it's all done by me in the day. When I breastfeed, bb sleep & get cranky later coz my supply low & she's not full. So it'll be like every 30mins latching her on, too tired le

@Baobei2014 ,
I'm a 2nd time mum so supply came in faster. I had breast engorgement on day 3. Started pumping on day 4. first pump was 30ml, then 50ml, then 60ml (every 3 hour)... My boobs were still hard and sore, my ml said my milk comes in very fast so I must pump more often. By day 7, I was able to pump up to 110ml. Today, I can pump up to 240ml after 4 hour. I didn't take any supplement. All I do is sleep, eat and pump. I take hot baths and drink hot drinks. I also drink soups for lunch, dinner and supper.
Yes I know its tiring. For me, I don't mind the waking up and the pumping. But if you feel that it's too taxing for you, then don't. Motherhood is more than giving breastmilk.
Now that my nipples are healed, i also latch sometimes. If i latch, then i will pump out the excess milk 30 min or an hour later depending how full my boobs still are. When u empty your breasts, you are also telling your body that you need more milk. Using a good electric pump also helps to stimulate and also pump out the milk effectively.

Shouldn't be a problem at all. I let my gal rest in the Fisher price bouncer too. Baby body at this stage is very flexible. This type of net bounces are used by 2 generations in our family.
So you are ending your confinement soon. How's is it coming along with your mil?

@littlefish866 , your bb wants to smell you
My gal sometimes likes to sleep on her tummy. Sometimes in yaolan. Sometimes just sit and doze off in her rocker chair. But sometimes real fussy, all position also don't want.
Then I try position her on sideway and she's okay. Sometimes cover her eyes with a handkerchief, she closes her eyes immediately and soon fall asleep.
