Yvonne,
Congrats!
Wah... thinking of 2nd one already???
After my 'traumatic' delivery, I can't imagine having to go through it again! Maybe I'll go for epidural next time!
Sunny,
Congrats to you too! The PD at TMC who checked my BB never mentioned about Apgar leh. Dunno if the test was conducted on my BB.
Yuen Yuen,
I think 12 feeds daily is still considered normal. Just have to 'tong'. Did you try direct latching? Sometimes, Bryant may take in more by direct latching cos his mouth is more efficient in pumping.
Clare,
My confinement also ending soon! 3 days! Yay!
I'm dying to have cold drinks too...
Have your bleeding stopped?
I'm still having slight bright red bleeding leh.
Sysa,
Cephas looks really healthy!
Mummies,
I'm on 100% TBF. So far frequency of feed is on the average 2.5 to 3 hrs. Direct latching most of the time. Yesterday, I tried pumping about 2 hrs after feed (cos going for facial) and could manage only 60mils! Today, tried pumping 1+ hr after feed and could only pump, believe it or not, 20mils!
Like that how to build up supply before going back to work? Cos I think we need to start freezing at least 5 or 6 bottles in advance before going back to work right? Unless have to substitute a few feed with FM and then EBM for reserve? BTW, is 125mils enough for a BB going into 3rd month?
Re. Diapers
My Isaac poos after EVERY feed (well almost). Damn frustrating. That means using about 8 to 10 diapers a day! Disposable diapers are very expensive. Have used up almost 5 packs of 38 diapers already in 3+ weeks! Imagine!
Brands I have tried so far -
1. Pampers Cotton Care (soft & absorbent, got indicator, no leakage but expensive).
2. Mamy Poko (Soft & absorbent, but prone to side leakage!)
3. Fitti (a bit papery but absorbent enough, no leakage and CHEAP!)
So conclusion, at the rate my Isaac is using the diapers, I have decided to use Fitti which costs $9.90 per pack (38s). Though Pampers still the best lah! Cloth diapers are out (at least for now) cos I can't imagine myself scrubbing 10 diapers with poo everyday!
