Junior_jj, need to make appt or just walk in? The tuina is just massage, right? Must it be b4 a feed?

Jaslyn, same as aspialle. I have done my paps smear on the 1st gynae visit too.. Finished my menses on the 2nd week after delivery too

Jaslyn, perhaps u might want to consider letting the caregiver feed instead of yourself? Cos the tendency to want to latch is strong when u carry the baby.. My baby also the same.. When it's time for milk feed, he will be in search for my nipple if I'm the one carrying him.. So, I will let my...

Xycartx, 150ml is just a general guideline.. Some babies might be drinking lesser. If ur baby is not drinking so much at one go, perhaps u can try giving lesser amount at a shorter interval? Not all babies follow the 150ml guidelines.. As long as baby is growing well, it is ok one.

Jaslyn, if this is the case, put baby in carrier.. Easier for u.. There is no cure for colic. You can only take measures to soothe it. But, don't worry. baby will outgrow it.

Xycartx, some babies take some time to digest the milk. Whereas some are fast. Esp FM takes a longer time to digest too. If baby is growing up well as well as regular pee and poo, it should be ok. If this is the case, u can feed on demand.. Just make sure baby is not dehydrated can liao

Jaslyn, if colic.. maybe it'll help if u could carry the baby upright. Place her on ur tummy and pat.. otherwise, bring her on a car ride. It might soothe her.. colic will cause baby to cry for about 3 hours

Xycartx, perhaps baby needs time to adjust? The taste of BM and FM is different.. Hence, ur baby might be adjusting to the change of milk initially. Was force feeding been adopted earlier? This could also be one of the reason that he's scared when it is feeding time.

Aspialle, I'm also looking forward to the time where I can go travelling too.. Thought could go when my #1 and #2 are bigger.. Who knows #3 came along and I have to wait a little longer again..

Sgtwist, the pd did not give me any colic drops. I bought rid wind over the counter at guardian pharmacy. I did not give baby pacifier cos I had difficulty in letting my #1 quit over it previously.. My baby on BM during the day and FM at night..

Hi sgtwist, my baby boy was born on 22 dec and he's now 10 weeks old.. yes, he has colic.. sigh.. my bp is normal now.. cleared after the last gynae chk. Though got headache and giddy spells.. seems like the bp medicines have made me low blood bp instead. -.-""

SGTwist, I was in the same situation as u for the delivery. My baby was 34w5d when born and I had preeclampsia too. Are u clear of the high blood pressure after birth? My baby was in the incubator for 1 day upon delivery as he was only 2.145kg when born.

Aspialle, u can try this link to know more about baby's poo.. There are some visual examples.. http://www.babycenter.com/baby-poop-photos

My boy puts on 1.7kg at full month.. Windsorqueen, how old is your baby? I just brought baby to PD for his routine chk up and he mentioned that baby around week 8 will tend to seek attention, don't want to be left alone, etc.. PD told us not to let him sleep so much in the day time.. Btw, my...

Aspialle and Ryan_leroy, if baby is on FM, it is common to have greenish poo cos of the iron content in the formula..
