Re: Colic
HI reenie, Applejuz & miso,
Looks like we will have to work harder for these few months. Now I know being a mother is not easy. Miso, it's so nice to have some experience. Not like me, panicky when she cried aloud. I hope I can handle my gal better as times goes by.

Hi Wendyg,
Issac seems very comfy during his bath! Can even yawn somemore.

Hi Miso

no lah.. not celebrating bb full month. my hubby family and relatives dun have such practice.. so i just buy vouchers for friends and ordered choz cakes for relatives.. this sat will be doing deliveries
 
re: breastfeeding

can i check whether anyone has the same problem as me? my boy used to nurse for 1/2 hr during each feed. even if he dozed off halfway, i usually can get him to wake up n continue. But these 2 days he just switched off after 10-15 min feeding, and no matter what method i used he refuses to wake up. Even if he does, he doesn't want to feed anymore. My breasts are not emptied properly leh.. and he gets cranky cos he doesn't get quality sleep as well.
 
Hi Ting ting, Wendy,
Ya, my girl girl starts fussing when the CL start wiping her face with cotton balls, gets worse when she strips her, and btw CL puts her into the tub, she's wailing already...Isaac so cute! what's the bear bear thing underneath him?

Hi Cat-tail,
Edna so cute! got so much hair!and so black somemore!
happy.gif
 
gals,
ermmm....as for the BM...i also dunno. the 1st 3 daes after labor was only colustrum. now is really BM. i can get engorgement every 1-2hours after i pump/BF my boy.

think maybe i drank too much water n soup. my mum cooks the confinement food for me which i think is too heaty, tt's why i keep drinkin water.

oh yeah, Mrs Wong from TMC also told us tt i hav lots of BM...tt's i feel engorgement pain... ;o(

now better after Mrs Wong massaged for me.

as for the food, i also drink hot milk b4 i pump...

seabreeze,
be patient! when comes ur labor u will be too busy liao! hee... busy lookin after the baby...

btw, can i ask u.... are u intend to give ur mum "ang pow" after the confinement period? how much shld we give? now my mum takin care of my confinement food. she cooks the 3 meals n do laundry for me everydae...

cat_tail,
ur bb so cute!!!! :eek:) haha..... same here... my hubby also said the same thing! only the "figures" look great! tell u wat, i really look so ah soh now! fat, sloppy n ugly! wonder when can i go back to my prenatal weight....

cookies,
no worry... my colleague also the same case like u... but when comes to the final stage, the bb's head engaged n she managed to give birth naturally... so dun worry too much. keep talkin to bb n be positive... :eek:)

photograph
oh yeah, i wld like to share tiz wit u gals, on the dae when bb discharged, bb n hubby was asked to take photo for TMC brochure n "Ma Ma Bao Pei" magazine! :eek:) i will keep u gals update once the brochure n the magazine is out. :eek:)
 
skippy ...

my mum said that must give her a token ang pow before the start of the confinement ler .... as me giving her a sum of money to pay for the confinement expenses ... think will give her $28 for the ang bow lor ... me v broke from paying for all the tonic tt she bought for my confinement liao ....

okie ... me will drink more water and hot drink ... hope that i can be as successful for bf as you ....
 
seabreeze,
me give mum 2k for confinement food n any other expenses for the confinement period.. then after the confinement, do we still need to give her ang pow?

i also dunno ler....
 
Cat_tail

I'm from the Oct MTB thread.. Saw the pix of your baby Edna.. Just had to drop by and say that she is so so pretty!!!
happy.gif
 
cat_tail - your girl looks so beautiful... i love her hair

hi all... i have gave birth on the 25th july, to my boy, Nathan... he was born slightly premature at a weight of 2.15kg. because of that, i wasn't able to give him bm as he has to go under special formula milk for pre-mature baby. So my milk flow is very little... only manage to pump out 70 to 100ml per time, twice a day. any suggestion on how i can increase my milk flow?

Seabreeze,
Looking at your baby's weight hor, i think my baby is super overweight leh... @ 36 weeks, he is now 3kg leh....
Your baby how many weeks old?
 
hi ladies,

i m back after my delivery. finally felt like a person these days.

here's my birth story:

24 aug:-
noon : met snoopy 4 lunch & shopping
kao_biggrin.gif


6pm onwards : got regular contractions, dun noe whether it's due 2 all d shopping
kao_wink.gif


25 aug:-
6am : woke up due 2 d contractions & diahorrea pain. went toilet & poo. had show & felt my waterbag burst. woke up hb who thot i was kidding. he went back 2 sleep, can u believe it?? called my gynae who advised me 2 admit myself 2 MAH & he'll meet me thr. hb woke up on hearing my conversation wif my gynae & realized tat i m not joking. man... then i took a bath, had a cup of milo & 1 btl of chicken essence & went 2 MAH.

7am : reached hospital & chked in. was wheeled 2 d delivery suite & prepped. d midwife chked my cervix 4 dilation & found tat i m not dilated yet. in addition, bb is not engaged yet. however, my contractions were a little bit unbearable liao.

8.25am : my gynae arrived & chked my cervix again. found tat i m not dilated still & bb is still not engaged. was put on d drip 2 dilate my cervix. gynae suggested epi 2 hb coz my pain threshold is really low.
kao_embarrassed.gif


8.45am : was put on d epi. then watched tv & happily wait 4 my labour 2 begin.

12.30pm : my gynae came back 2 chk on me. saw tat bb's heartbeats r dropping veri rapidly. he chked my cervix & found tat i m oni 4cm dilated. worse of all, bb is still not engaged. he then told us tat i hv 2 go 4 emer c-section as he dun wan 2 wait any longer. he's afraid tat bb might b in distress. hb agreed 2 it as we hv noticed tat bb's heartbeats hv been dropping 4 d past hr. but as we dun noe wat d graph represents initially, we ignored it. i was then prepped 2 go 2 d OT. was feeling veri scared & apprehensive. on d way 2 d OT, i was crying. hb kept telling me not 2 worry as i m in gd hands & he'll b wif me inside d OT. however, in d OT, my gynae told me tat my hb is not allowed 2 b inside as it's an emer c-section. gosh... i really cried then... when my gynae asked me whether i wan 2 go under epi or GA, i opt 4 d latter so tat i wldn't now wat's going on.

1.30pm : bb daryl is delivered & wheeled out of d OT. hb was outside waiting 4 him. he accompanied daryl 2 d nursery 2 do d necessary tests. daryl weighs a hefty 3.9kg. hb was veri surprised abt his weight as my last scan 5 days ago shows tat bb is oni 2.9kg.

2pm : was wheeled out of d OT & send 2 d ward 2 sleep off d effects of d GA. my gynae then told hb tat d reason 4 daryl's drop in his heartbeats is coz d cord was twirled around his neck. in addition, he had aso passed motion while he was inside. luckily he was delivered in time.

now come 2 tink of it, it was kinda of scary coz my gynae is oni supposed 2 come during his lunch hr fr 1 - 2pm. luckily he came early tat day, if not, i dare not tink of d consequences.
 
hi miso... u still remember me... so nice of you... i'm ok... just very tired looking after my boy and guess that's part of the reason why my milk flow is low. I'm trying to see whether I can increase my milk flow by pumping out more reguarly and eating more fish.

so sorry that i didn't reply you with the number to the infant care. i was so busy at work for the last few months because i need to clear some work for myself and my colleague before i go on my maternal leave. do you still need the contact?

aiyo... your girl is so cute. i love the hair and your son is also so adorable. wow... so nice huh... now that you have a son and a daughter... thinking of having one more ;')

sharing my picture of my son...

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/luvjesus_7/my_photos
 
Hi worshippertemple, of cos I do remember u! haha.. no prob on the infant care, I managed to find it. Tks.

Ur boy is so cute too! oh no.. pls dun ask if i will having another one ok.. haha.. phobia! I got 1 terror at home and when both cries.. 2 terrors!
 
worshippertemple
rest is also v impt for good milk flow. My sis told me that my job for now is to feed baby, eat well & sleep. Dun do housework, dun stress.
For me, i feed baby until I stress...

miso
your kids both good looking huh!!

mummytobe
erm, the bear thing is smthg on which to rest baby while in the bath. Made of cloth stretched over a metal frame.

vone
3.9kg!!!!!
wow, think abt it, it was good that a C-section was done, o'wise u'll split into 2 when he emerges.
My baby was 3.5kg, I didn't dilate beyond 2cm (9hr induced). During that time, midwife commented that I need to be more than 10cm coz my baby was facing up... wah i nearly pengsan. Thinking back, I'm sure God knows wat's best for me & baby - C-section.
 
hi miso,

if cakey decides she doesn't wanna borrow ur isis, can i borrow it?
happy.gif
i also have some problems with pumping... pump got nothing come out but if i squeeze, the bm does come out... weird! anyone else have this problem? any solutions?
happy.gif


i just saw the pics of vionna and reon together! so cute... esply the sayang foto, so sweet... how old's reon? he looks like 1 cheeky little boy - so fun!

hey cat_tail,

edna's so pretty! got beginnings of double eye-lids liao too... and talk about having a full head of hair!
happy.gif
 
hey miso,
i saw your posting abt some baby reflux thingy.. baby arches back & cries during bf.
Anyway to prevent it?
When my baby arches & howls, he pulls my nipple along & it hurts terribly! Lucky he was born without teeth...
 
hi musicgal,
I also got very little when pumping.. realise that the pump sucks the areoola and never release it so no pumping action on it
sad.gif
The most is release half of it (if placed carefully) and then a few ducts will have milk dripping.. Pump like that only got 15ml in 30mins.. Maybe my breast shape doesn't 'match' the pump's funnel. Somemore the mini pump so noisy.
So hope to try another pump and if successful w miso's pump and bf for long term, probably will get one myself after that.
 
Hi mummies,

Re - Baby's pee and poo

Mummies who BF or feed your baby EBM,can i just check how many times on the average your baby poo poos and pee pees a day? and is the poo and pee a lot?
 
hi wendyg,

u so funny! but never lao hong leh... sianz...


hey cakey,

i have the exact same problem! maybe it's the size of the flange, the part we place on the breast? but it's the smallest available liao leh...

i'm thinking of getting the ameda... apparently, the flange is part silicon so it can conform to the breast better?

moms using ameda - is that true? thanks!
 
Chris, u so fast! Was abt to post the good news too! haha.. btw, her bb boy's name is Denzel. Think she had a pretty short labour cos morning I was still chatting with her. Natural delivery, no epidural.

Congrats Sam!
 
Miso, hehh, happened to be online when i got her sms, so i posted immediately. she sounded quite hyper in her sms. good leh, her labour, so short and smooth!
 
eileenp ...

maybe then ur bb will pop earlier lor ... if your gynae never say anything then should be okie lar ...

I am now 39 week ... EDD suppose to be next tues lor ... so many of them have popped ... seem like am one of the last few who is still hanging around ...

skippy ...

me giving abt the same amt for my confinement oso ... think the ang bow is a token lar ... see your comfort level lor ... me really broke liao ... my mum oso know heehee ...

congrats to sam ...
 
musicgal
the Ameda Lactaline that i used dun hv any silicon thing against the breast. But Avent ISIS does! =)
 
seabreeze: my appt with dr cheng is on tue.. so if they call to cancel then i'll know that its u who is in labour le! haha...

stay happy ok? dun get to stressed juz from waiting.
 
Hi Musicgal,
The ameda lactaline flange is hard plastic..something like the medela mini electric. Not flexible one..
 
re: reflux
wendy, my boy also started to pull my nipple liao.. when i detect it i'll immediately tug on his chin to release his suction, cos i cannot get my finger into his mouth to do so. sometimes i also use a stern voice.. think he was then startled n stopped pulling.. but sometimes he'll cry at the voice or the chin tug..
 
hi ladies,

wondering how much should a 2 weeks approaching 3 weeks baby feeds? my gal feeds abt 70 to 80 ml of EBM and also formulae...

sometinmes she can feed 90ml but other times she vomit quite a fair bit out.

when should baby start using pillow?

thanks
 
Hi all mummies & MTBs,
Edna says thank you for yor compliment. Well, dun see her cute, she's actually a little monster in disguise.
sad.gif

biggrin.gif

Hi cat_tail and confusedgal, tks for the compliments! Yes, I can close factory liao! yea yea! My hb still asking if I wanna go for no. 3??? *duh*
 
ting2
i'll try the voice thing..

sigh, not easy to be mother huh. i was awake from 4am-7am coz he threw up whatever BM that he drank. Coz got wind in his tummy.
 
hi cat_tail,
hoshi5 had delivered her bb gal on 9th August so could you update for her? I suppose she's doing confinement and hence not online. Thanks
 
Miso - yalor! u can close factory liao.
biggrin.gif
your hubby so funny, maybe he find 2 no enough n want so more.

i see you gals bb, really feel happy. And feel that it worth the 9mths suffering n after that get to see our own bb
happy.gif
 
gals - Can i ask u gal regarding the bb pram. Robinson having sales today n thought of buying it leh. The pram has can adjust to 2 position n i was told to get a pram which can adjust to 3 or 4 position. Which one is better?

Gals - if u gals need to buy anything, robinson having sales today n tomoro for members.
 
ladies,
anyone's bb needs to be hugged and rocked to sleep? my boi (going on to 3 wks) nowadays need to be carried and pat for his morning/afternoon naps. At night, also wake up middle of his sleep to suckle (e.g. feed at 1am, wake up at 3am to suckle for 5 mins and wake up 5am to feed again). is this normal?
 
cat_tail, really appreciate ur updates.
happy.gif
it's such a lifesaver 2 keep track of who popped oledi. btw, snoopy73 delivered aso. her delivery date is d same as reenie's.

confused, tks.
happy.gif
paiseh, got no time 2 reply ur email. will try 2 do so soon. IMO, d pram which can adjust 2 3 or 4 positions is better coz u can use it 4 ur bb when he/she is a nb 2 when he/she is bigger.

wendyg, oh no... did u apply ru yi oil on his tummy?? i do tat 4 my boy &amp; it helps.
 


dear gals
tks for all the well wishes

snoopy tks for coming down to visit me, rem to sms me when u pop!

angel, seeing yr story made me cry, cos i know exactly how u feel

how's my birth story:

28.08.2005, Sunday 9am
- reached TMC for inducement
- detected regular contraction pain, nurse asked me whether i felt any pain, i said no.
- pill was inserted at 9.40am
- so painful!

2.30pm
- Gynae returned to break waterbag, gosh! so painful also, my legs turned jelly and i think i almost fainted. That was when i know i have to take epidural, if not, i certainly no strength to push.

Immediately after my waterbag broke, contraction reached a high (all the way til 99 scale). I started to pray hard for the epidural guy to come fast!

3.30pm
- Epidural administered by Dr Loo. Great guy! he's very nice and keep comforting me.
- very happy after epidural was adminsitered. When the shot was injected, i felt slight shivering but it was ok after 5 mins.
- i just lay there and watch tv.

however from 2.30pm til 11pm, dilation only at 2cm and no sign of progression. Gynae came to visit me at 5pm, 9pm and 11pm. and he advised me to go for C section, no point in delaying cos no dilation, no progress.

I was pretty upset and i requested to wait for another hour, although i know it's a futile wait. But still i want to try. From 11pm - 12midnight, my tears started to flow and i kept asking my hubby why i dun have any dilation. It was the longest wait of my life and i kept hoping for a miracle for at least another 2com dilation.

12 midnight
- Gynae returned - no dilation
- I said ok and decided for C with epidural
- The nurses doubled or tripled my epidural dosage and that was when i started to shiver really really badly!! my teeth was clicking with each other. My hubby kept encouraging me. i wanted to cry but no tears....

12.20am
- pushed into operating theatre, my hubby not yet came in, i started to panick and kept asking for him. I told gynae not to cut me, must wait for my hubby. He assured me.
- Dr Loo also came in. My hubby later arrived and he held my hand and kept encouraging me. My shivering was really bad then.

12.29am
- baby came out! But by then my shivers were too bad for me to enjoy that moment. But i still feel very amazed when i heard her first cry. My gynae brought her to my face and said, 'see, yr baby!'

my hubby and i were very tired by then and very relieved when we heard our baby gal's first cry.

our baby gal weights 3.4kg. but she look very small leh, doesn't seem like 3.4kg. she's pretty dark skin like my hubby. =))) but she got his eyes and long eyelashes. =) only her mouth look like me. kekekek

life with a newborn is so so so different, my life revolves around pumping, sleep, eat and looking after her.

so for the ladies who yet to pop, pls cherish the moment of yr baby in yr tummy, once yr precious is out, it's a whole new world!
