Sorry been busy yday so never read postings and WOW! so much to catch up on..
SSF,
You must be hardworking at pump in between. Try not to sleep 7-8hrs straight if not, ur MS will dip. I'm still waking up in between to pump even though my girl sleeps throughout to keep up the MS.
Rashes,
My girl has been having pimply rashes on face since 2nd week. Sometimes, it spreads to neck if I get careless and didn't clean off the milk or posset from her neck. The rest of her body is ok, no rash. PD gave me fungicort (hydrocortisone (steriod + antifungal anti-imflammatory) to apply if it gets bad. No matter how I wipe, her face will still have the rashes. PD say bo bian cuz she got sensitive skin. Hopefully she will outgrow the rashes if not complexion not good
MS
There was one period of time my MS also dipped alot and I had clogged ducts cuz I got lazy to pump. To get back the MS, I stopped feeding my girl bottle and latched her on as much as I can and offer her snacks in between feeds to unclog the ducts. I also drank alot fluids before and after latching and wake up at 3-4am to pump. Took about 3-4 days for MS to build back. Scared liao. Takes so much effort to keep up the supply, yet it takes only 1-2 days for the supply to drop by half.
Sept03bride,
I'm also seeing the PD at Kidslink. Personally, I think he's very good and dedicated. 6 weeks for the 6-in-1 is abit early ya? PD told me not recommended cuz alot babies get fever from the DTP vaccine and if bb not strong enough, he don't recommend 6-in-1 as may cause complications which are hard to isolate.
Cloth book
Cloth books got discount? Where ah? I wanna buy some for my girl.. She likes books and she's getting a nasty habit of licking everything that comes near her mouth.. tissue, towel, fingers, hands, breasts.. haha
Cindy
Can we apply diaper cream on their face? I'm using Secura from Smith&Nephew with 10% zinc oxide. Now, I apply alittle powder on her face & neck to keep it dry. If not, her face & neck will feel sticky
after awhile.
Green Poo
My girl has green poo only once. Asked PD about it and he says it ok. Sometimes, when faeces got high concentration of bile pigments in it, poo will be greenish. If worries, give bb some cooled rice water or barley water to drink.
Rena,
My eye infection is recovering liao so I'll come for the gathering tomorrow. Still trying to convince my husband to join me but most likely he'll not be coming. However, even if he's coming, no need order extra heads for both of us as we're small eaters and you've not met the min pax yet right? We'll work out the costs tomorrow and I'll pay u tomorrow.
