hi, all
managed to come in now as rhyan is asleep and i just finished pumping milk ..
bfg
i also hv the same problem as mykono, bb doesn't seem to be feeding enough fm me if i latch him on .. ending up he will want a next feed earlier .. i only latch him on abt twice a day, other than tt other feeds are all on fm .. i will pump my milk twice a day also and let him drink on his next feed .. no choice, otherwise he will be very hungry and start crying .. my mil will then come in and say bb never drink enough lah, quickly let him drink fm .. haiz .. think i can only train him to drink more bm when i return home .. bo bian ..
for the carrying part, actually i feel my bb is not comfortable at my mil's place coz he dun sleep fully .. eyes will always open and look ard though he is tired .. my aunt told me maybe its becoz my mil's place got pray to guanyin and hubby's ancestors and bb being very sensitive can see many things we can't, so we shld hv let bb pray to them when we just came bk fm hospital .. told hubby to pray to the gods last nite tt we are only staying here for one mth and they can see our bb but dun use hands to touch him etc so tt bb can sleep better .. not too sure how true but for those who pray at home, better try to be safer ..
for sarong and pacifier, my mil wanted to give rhyan but thankfully, rhyan disliked the sarong .. will start crying 5min after being left inside .. hehe .. for pacifier, my mil knows tt i forbid bb to take and she went to buy one secretly and gave rhyan at nite when he was sleeping with my mil while i was sick in the first wk .. according to her, rhyan also refused to suck the pacifer but i was worried tt she will cont'd giving and make him addicted instead, so ... i secretly threw the pacifer away one day when she went to the market .. i know i am bad but this is the only way to stop her since i told her face to face and she still do it ..
sharon - as long as the label states ok for bb, shld be alrite .. i used the medela purelan cream but so far no more sore nipples, so didn't apply ..
