hee you look great too!!I recently bought my weighing machine from Guardian at $19.90. It is pretty accurate and it is digital. I bought it to weigh my baby every week
so I will need to see my weight in order to deduct from my weight and baby 's weight
After dinner I weigh 51.8kg urgh!
I am mummy
yours is really a unique case. Don't feel that you are letting your baby down. You have really tried your very best. Actually I can pump about 280ml per session now but I latch most of the time. I will only pump once or twice a day. I mean if you think about it alot of us are on formula from birth even!!My mum told me I was on formula from the second month onwards...I might not as be as smart as others but at least I finished my tertiary education and lead a very happy life
I think happiness is still the ultimate importance in our journey of life. So as long you give lots of TLC to your baby, that is more important than any milk you give

Actually, alot has to do with genetics. Someone told me that if your mum is big after pregnancy, most likely you will follow your mum. I follow my mum's side;high metabolic rate and smaller bone structure. I think the best thing you can do for a slimmer body is exercise
I don't really believe in any form of slimming except it is natural. I got a friend who is a personal trainer who specially helps post-pregnant women to get back in shape
I think it is much more worth to invest in an exercise regime than slimming or dieting.

hi L S M,
you've got mail...
Hi adelyee... your baby is so cute.... seeing him reminds me of my son's when he was that age... i'm surprised that you went out only after giving birth for 3 weeks!!! pei fu pei fu.... guess you are those people who don't go on straight confinement.... you look good after 3 weeks.... seems like you have gone back to shape pretty fast huh.... good for you... think you must have put on little bit of weight during your preggie days....
very envy leh....

hi adelyee... i agree... how come westerners can do it and we asian can't do it... don't all of us living under the same planet and sun... hee hee.... i just don't care and was bathing and washing my hair almost everyday.... but i do believe certain confinement food is good for us.... to build back our body system.... well... whatever is good, we take... whatever don't make sense to me.... don't do it... that's my idea....
wow.. you only put on 10kg... i put on 20kg!!!... loss 14kg.... now left with 6kg to go... but very tough. like what i'm a mummy said those stubborn kilos just refused to go away.... but the good things about me is i can wear back most of my old clothes and bra, just a little bit tight..... so good... no need to spend another bomb on new clothes and bra... hooray!!!

ixwong, no need lah!!! dun have to go plus size boutiques. you lost so much weight i was actually envying you! can try topshop or zara. less depressing to shop at these places because they have larger clothes in not-so-depressing sizes

I cannot wear all my previous bras before pregnancy cos they are way too small and they are wired. Now I only wear non-wired bras.
Anyway wants really nice lingerie size is 32C? they are from Chalone...selling them at a good price and worn them like only twice hehe

well vone... i think i can fit into 75B triumph but thinking more on buying underwear instead of bras... i will see how first and let you know again... ok?

but vone, i don't mind to take a look at the bras... think it's easier for you to take some picture of it and show it to me rather to make a trip down.... at least will not be a wasted trip should i decided not to buy....

re: Weight
me got same problem.. went to Giordano to try their Ladies tops. Saw the M size quite big, so tried the Large size. Was shocked that L size also tight for me!! Depressed and left e shop immediately. Didn't even wanna try XL. Last time used to wear S size......... Went to G2000 to buy office clothes.. now bust size so big.. gotta wear size 9 for tops and size 11 for bottoms! I end up not buying bottoms and decided to wear my maternity office skirts instead. Save $$.

i need milk
yeah the bust size is a big problem. From a 32C to a 75c/d or 80B/C and they have to be wireless!I cannot wear wired bras anymore as it is uncomfortable and cut into my breasts...sometimes I just wear my breast pads and wear a tight fitting top!
I need milk
Err I eat 4 times a day and drink lots of soup for lunch.My meals are balanced ...I don't know if that helps...
Wendyg
hmm I think because my body is the 'heaty' type, therefore more milk production?

hmm, not sure whether it's a coincidence, but i'm also the "heaty" type of person... fluids does help in milk production i think, but actually we just need to drink the regular quota of 8 glasses per day.
re: busts n bras
can't imagine that i'm only a cup B! They feel so big that i thought i must be a C.. haha... shows how "small" mine used to be... Mums in Mind sells several types of nursing bras, some w underwires... i actually bought a few of those for outside use cos those normal home ones w wire doesn't support well n can feel my breasts "swinging" when i walk.. so paiseh..
wendy, MIM sells a type of tube bra that's elastic at top n bottom. Comes with removable padding also. It's quite comfy for me, but not sure whether the elasticity will become loose w frequent washing. Quite cheap, abt $14 if i remember correctly...
re: clothes
i can wear some of my bottoms, but tops are out. Planning a shopping spree around CNY next year.. haha..

wow... triniti.... the bra very sexy huh.... ;P

hehe yeah...I got less sexy ones..they are more pretty but all of them are mostly from the same designer.
tingting
my Cl and me have concluded that heaty bodies will have a higher milk supply. I get hot easily and perspire easily as well...and for some reason milk ducts are more 'relaxed' in heaty bodies therefore more milk. Haha, of course this is purely hypothetical and is just our conjuncture

re:bras
yesterday I bought alot of wireless triangle bras for pierre cardin
It is really comfy and costs only 26SGD. They only come in B sizes therefore I got 80B. It does not cover the whole breasts but at least it is very comfortable and easy for breastfeeding.I also got a couple of bandeau bras from eternity 6.90SGD free size

me too, i sparkle easily (baby too). After a jog, people ask me whether i just washed my hair. Coz i'd be thoroughly soaked thru. Dat's why i prefer to swim!
I get heaty easily too... lots of heaty bumps around lymph node areas. But milk is just average ley. So back to my hypothesis that skinny mommies hv more milk =PPP
