Hi Miko, can u pl add me as well? Delivered 3 Nov 2014. FB name is Joyce Yap, email add is [email protected]. Thanks!

I'm still sweating a lot everyday and night, and I'm ending my confinement a day after u!

Did u all see an LC to teach baby how to latch? Might be useful. My fridbd's baby didn't know how to latch properly so LC gave him 'lessons'. Haha.

Oh ok so it's normal. I wonder can I stop feeling hot! During preg esp third tri I felt so hot, now post-preg feel even hotter! I hate sweating while sleeping, so uncomfy and makes me feel smelly. I can feel my perspiration on my scalp and I always cannot wait to shower.

Any of the mummies here feel hot sweaty and sticky all day and night during confinement even after showering? I've been perspiring alot everyday, not sure if it's due to breastfeeding or what, but I just perspire and feel hot all the time even while sleeping! Is this normal?

Same, my left side can only produce up to 30ml, while my right side up to 90ml in ard 8-10min. Even if I continue pumping beyond 10min, I know the left side won't continue dripping cos by the 10min mark, it will alr stop dripping. Damn sian. And baby doesn't like to latch on left side cos of...

Wow really? Do let me know on u've tried it and whether it really works! :)

But is ur right side producing enough? How many days post-partum are u? I'm 15 days post partum alr so I dunno if it's still possible to increase it? Do u latch or pump ur left side? Does it help? Ur baby also rejects left side?

Yup I'm taking the nursing tea 'Mother's Milk' but I heard it's not a long term solution and I don't really wanna be overly-reliant on it too.

My tummy doesn't seem to have shrunk, which is why I can't wait to do tummy wrap and massage. My massage lady says it can be done after 3 wks and she usually does it at wk 3 for her c sec clients. But to be safe I'll do it at wk 4. Hopefully it will still be effective, cos I heard these kind...

I didn't know there's medication to take to increase production! I'm thinking if worse come to worse left side really can't produce, whether it's possible to exclusively BF with just one side. Anw, is ur tummy totally flat now? Does the shrinking of uterus mean that tummy will go down? I can't...

My Gynae didn't scan when I saw her 10 days post partum to remove the bandage. Did it automatically shrink or did u have to do anything? Anw how is ur BF? I have very very uneven milk supply. Left side is producing way much lesser than right and baby doesn't wanna latch on the left for long...

How do u know if the uterus has contracted? Is there a way to tell?

I delivered by emergency C sect too on 3 Nov due to baby going into distress after 22 hrs of induced labour (was only 2cm dilated after 22 hrs). After the op, my Gynae wrapped the abdominal binder ard me. So I thought it was a default process until I saw the above posts. I guess it depends on ur...

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.
