    2 month old BM baby - feed, sleep, play

    Hi corvette, change it if he takes too long to finish his milk or seem to have difficulty sucking. if he always doesn't finish his milk, you might want to consider changing the teats too, cos that means he's working too hard for the milk, he gave up.

    Any mummies feed their baby on expressed breast milk only?

    Hi sy, I think everyone's milk flow is different. I personally don't follow the 15 mins rule... I usually pump for 30 to 45 mins and I don't latch on either. How long have you been pumping? I think the more you pump, the more regular and efficient the flow. Here is a link regarding...

    Advice: How to increase breastmilk amount?

    Hi Jen, Yah, that's correct. Sometimes babies don't take the same amount at every feed (like sometimes we feel less hungry during lunch and hungrier during dinner!) so as long as the daily intake is 450ml, baby should be doing very well

    Advice: How to increase breastmilk amount?

    My GP suggests this formular: weight of baby x 150ml = amt of milk she needs a day Note that this is only a rough gauge, don't be too stressed if she takes less, cos my 5 month old boy takes 200ml+ less than the calculated amount, but my PD says it ok. Hope this helps.

    Advice: How to increase breastmilk amount?

    Hi mummies, I have 4 BN bottles (100 capusles) of Fenugreek from GNC for sale. $17 each with normal postage or $62 for all 4 with normal postage. My supply has stabilized so I don't take them so much anymore. Anyone interested please PM me. Thanks and press on in breastfeeding!

    2 month old BM baby - feed, sleep, play

    Thanks for your comments. Seems like my baby is doing ok then. Perhaps the websites I read are for caucasian babies who drinks more. No need to worry now. LC suggests removing mittens by 6 weeks so that baby can play with fingers; good for brains development. She says 'imagine other...

    2 month old BM baby - feed, sleep, play

    Hi mommies... I would like a comparison on the following with your 2 month old baby: • how much milk (pls indicate BM or FM, total or partial) does he/she take per feed? • how long does he/she sleep in-between feeds? • what does he/she do for play? i.e. stare at mobile, kick around, etc...

    Experience bringing Toddlers to Japan?

    Hi smalldreams, there are escalators in the train stations, but i don't remember seeing any mom's taking it with the stroller, think its not so safe, cos some escalators are VERY long and alot of people take the 'express lane' (left side in Japan if i remembered correctly). i think lifts are...

    Any mummies feed their baby on expressed breast milk only?

    Hi bitbit, Thanks for the info. Milk come fast; good, but it's very hard for me to go out, cos bb doesn't like latching (only when he is in good mood, hah) so I need to schedule my timing such that I gotta be home before my breast explodes! Yesterday I had such a bad block it hurts even...

    Any mummies feed their baby on expressed breast milk only?

    Sorry to interrupt the lasik conversation. Can I ask if its normal to feel a little engorged/full before each pump? I just pumped 3 hours ago and now I feel quite engorged and hard - it hurts! (And am pumping now) Some times, its just a full &amp; heavy feeling i.e. when I wake up in the...

    Massage Lady

    Hi, I did my post-natal massage with an Indonesian lady (a friend and neighbour of my mom). She charges $500 for 10, 2 hours sessions (+/- 15 mins). She also does other massages besides the post-natal ones. My aches and pains after delivery disappeared after 3 sessions. She speaks little...
