babyluv,
so envious of you. u're doing well with TBF. I'm still struggling and sup with FM. I just BF her for close to 2hrs and she still cries for milk. I gave up and gave her FM. I really wonder how much is enuf for her. I seem to have milk but maybe not enuf for her yet.
Can i just check with you. When u BF bb, after awhile your bb will be satisfied and go to sleep then wake up 2 hrs later for feed again ? that doesn't happen to me ley. very tired and sien man...
I hvn't tried expressing. The last time i tried got nothing. Now with bb latching on, I lazy to pump.
Most of the time my bb liked to be carried also. she will fuss and cry and when we pick her up she's ok. But when she doesn't settle even after being carried that means she wants more milk. Most of the time when she's fully satisfied with milk she'll go to sleep immediately.
my gal has some white tiny spots on her face. the paed say it's ok and will go off. So far no encounter with rashes yet but there are some red patches on here and there. Maybe u can try wat LV does, clean with water and c how it goes.
Abt friends and relatives visiting. I totally agree with you. During my 2nd day at hospital, there were quite a few no. of visitors still i was fed up. I was coping with BF and bb needs to be fed but visitors were coming and had to wait outside cos bb need to be fed. so stressful.
Then there's visitors who wants to come my hse and visit. sigh. feel bad to reject since they say 1 2 pass me bb gifts. But i jus don't understand how come they don't understand i'm doing confinement, in total mess and coping with managing bb. sometimes really very sien. Today just had a visitor and bb was crying and i was talking to my guest and i know she had to be fed. In the end had to give FM since my guest didn't take the cue to leave. *big sigh*
as for diapers, same as LV, no specified timing, i just check on and off. Once it's soiled or heavy with urine, I'll change it. Ave of abt 6-7 diapers used a day.
