[bbcripps]

Wow they charge by hr?

I went to nuh lc for help too. Paid $42+ and I think I spend abt 2hrs plus there. The sisters are very helpful and super nice. My gal pooed and she help change her.

that's good! actually before i was discharged the LC got teach me also, n i was able to latch there, but after NICU, i think my boy got used to the bottle, and he's v impatient to latch, n i'm v soft hearted, once he screams i v heart pain n give up n express instead, so now lagi more he doesn't want to DL. so tomorrow see if Uma can make him.

 

[momobb]

Wow u finished already! Envy! I only at my 6th day. Don't mind e food but the no shower, long sleeve, long pants n no strong air con is killing me! Bth! I have been sponging my upper body w boiled water every time I go to e loo. Feel so sticky n stinky how to DL bb?

 

[kittybaby12]

I don't look forward to ending my confinement, maybe only the part on can bath freely and eat freely. My mums food is really delicious! Haha I can eat the same thing everyday.

Kinda scare to have to deal with bb alone in my hse. I am currently doing confinement at my mums hse. Heng.: my mum still welcome me to disturb her everyday after confinement.

This wk is the last wk le..
Haven learnt to bath bb yet. Haha

My confinement is oso ending soon. CL leaving mid of next week. Starting to get cold feet liao cos I need to handle bb alone by then. Already starting to learn how to bath my bb. The 1st time I bath him, he is screaming his head out and poop twice on his towel. He scare I oso scare...lol

Me just on the shower tap n clean.my body too. Cant tahan the hotness wor. Omg But heng nw after 12 days, i have started to shower alternate day...

 

[bbcripps]

U tried increasing the amt?
My gal went thru that 2 days ago, I figure increase the amt by abit and it worked. She happily go into the milk drunk state and doze off for 3 hrs.

we just increased late last week so my CL want to increase again only later this week. so now what we are doing is to feed a smaller amt more often, like instead of 110ml every 3 hrs, we are feeding 70ml every 2 hrs. but like still not enough...

 

[sunflower307]

Haha poo is normal la.. my mum so exprrienced also kena poo n pee from my gal.
Gonna try bathing her tml. Finger cross. Hahaa.

@bbcripps, I see. I also pump now. Don't direct latch Cox too painful and during that period, I really cannot take it that I am the only one who can feed n pacify her. Having a little post natal blues there. Haha
Felt better after I started pumping out, my mum n hub can help feed her.
I gotta confessed, since I not feeling engored. I slowly dragging my pumping to 4hrs haha.

lol, i am procrastinating learning how to bath my bb, i tell myself i will learn closer to the departure date of my CL cos his neck will be stronger by then, less fragile i delivered on 5 Jan but my CL only came on 12 Jan, i extended her to 5 wks, so she's leaving on 14 Jan. i'm gonna be SOOOO sad!

U scared increase too fast?
Our bb same bday. Haha 110ml vs 75ml haha.
I think u should try stepping up the 3hr for 1x and see his reaction.. I observe mine for a couple of days and decided to increase Cox she keep showin signs that she is still hungry.

 

[sunflower307]

When should we start tummy time? My mum say around 2mth plus when the neck is stronger..

[PTB7674]

Ya!! Congrats for ending confinement... I have a list of food I wanna eat after confinement, cannot wait!

Haiz the list of food for me is shorter cos c sext some food got to control at least 6 months haiz

 

[bbcripps]

haha i just did the first session w my boy this evening, cos he was crying so much so we brought out the activity gym n let him try, n he promptly fell asleep. but must do under strict supervision la, cos worry if they turn their head n suffocate.

 

[PTB7674]

first thing i'm going to do once i'm out of confinement is to eat sambal stingray n rojak *slurp* i have been deprived for 10 months already!

Yours is c sect right !?!?

and I also realized my bath tub is a bad choice lolz need to find my boy 's tub to you lolz

 

[PTB7674]

Cos stingray are considered " poisonous " .. And we are supposed to stay away these poisonous and shelled seafood for at least 6 months
I have checked with Gynae she did say from western medicine no such thing but If my wound do get itchy even after more than 6 months that mean my skin is sensitive so ideal to stay away from these food

 

[cuiling45]

Me just on the shower tap n clmy body too. Cant tahan the hotness wor. Omg But heng nw after 12 days, i have started to shower alternate day...

wah. all of you manage not to bath? I shower right after I was discharged just that i didnt wash my hair until after 14 days. it was a torture not able to wash hair for 14 days.

I'm the naughtiest... i showered n washed hair right after i was discharged, my oily scalp back then was enough to drive me into depression. i shower everyday now, n wash my hair every 2-3 days, but i did notice if i shower at night, i get so cold i have chills. so now i try to only shower in the afternoon.

 

[momobb]

Mainly seafood can't touch right? Anything else to take note?

So far CL have been boiling da fong cao for me to sponge daily but I still find my neck area sticky. Might b coz of the herbs. Anyway, will still use warm boiled water to clean my upper body whenever I can't tahan. So actually use the herbs or not really doesn't make anymore diff to me

 

[shiyilau]

do u all really dare to put fresh ebm outside room temp for 4 hrs
to me it is milk .. leave it outside for 30 mins i also cannot tahan and dare not give my gal already

Yup I will keep in room temperature if I know her feed is within the next two hours.. Else refrigerate le still have to heat up

Lol me too.. Mummy nagged at me but I didn't care cos weather too hot and hair too messy

 

[ding2505]

@ding2505, I haven't tried any boosters that had a significant increase yet.... Maybe you can try salmon, oats, malt (holicks, milo) which are known milk boosters...

Also pump more often... If you are pumping 3h per day, increase the frequency will help to increase supply too. Also trytopower pump at least 1x each day....

How's ur bb now? Breathing better? Did u get the breathing monitor in the end? I didn't need to, but pd juz toldme to observe the area are his mouth when he drinks... Make sure it doesn't turn blue black which shows he is having difficulty breathing or lack of oxygen...

Hey hey, yah the nurse and pd at NICU also told me to observe whether the area ard his mouth turns blue as need to unlatch him if it does. Heng so far nvr, but bb breathing still v fast esp when latching n sucking. V loud breathing too. Pd say will take a few weeks to be better.
How's your baby's breathing so far? Still fast or normal alr?
Breathing monitor still haven't get. But think need to, am trying to see if can don't do without it but think I am anxious mum, will need a handy way to check on him esp after CL leaves.

[xicloudix]

think so.. so far nv heard of chinese doing this le..

My massage lady is a Chinese lady. Juz normal post natal massage. Not jamu massage

 

[xicloudix]

I got a chinese lady to do mine for me. She's not bad.. found her via forums too

I also found mine from forum . Her name is hui ling

 

[xicloudix]

Not sure if can share here? But her website is http://relaxingpostnatalmassage.blogspot.sg
You can find her number there

Same lady!! Feedback how ?? Last round she did a very good job to ease my lower back ache. This round like not so good. But i like her tummy massage. Really expel all dirty blood n waste ..

 

[xicloudix]

Congrats! I can't waitfor comfinement to be over. So sick of the food.

I think my baby is going through growth spurt. I dl him every one hr):
And he still seems hungry):

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

Me !!!

I am sick of confinement food (mainly ginger) n I try to sneak out n have outside food.... with the help of my hubby haha

My baby is drinking every 1 hr now 60ml.. I am fainting!!! Buay tahan .. I told him drink more n drag longer lol

 

[ciakes]

I use huiling too. Just finish 7 sessions with her. My stomach deflat quite a bit now left a blobing flab haha

Me too finished 7 sessions so far. I found the first few sessions the most effective. I'm back to pre preg weight. Tummy went down but still slightly flabby..

Agree with you on the tummy massage. After massage I always can pass out lots of clots and also pass motion easily. Esp first few days when I was constipated it helped alot. I haven't done any post natal massage before so I can't really compare but she's a nice lady n I always feel good after massage so I reckon it works for me.

[momobb]

I miss sashimi! How soon can we eat that?

Qn: do u wake bb up for milk every 3hourly or let him wake up on his own then u feed him? My boy seems to drink more between 11.30-2am. After latch will cry, then will top up w fm. Give 30ml, he zzz then wakes up in another half hour give another 30ml, then another hour cry again. So I get CL to make 60ml n he actually finishes. Then zzz till 6am. Is it ok?
