oh... the most i will let her sleep for about 3.5 hrs interval except after the last feed. my mil also said no need to wake bb up unless she wakes up and cries for milk....
i am just worried that she's not getting enough milk for the day... i wonder if my mil will follow the 3 hr feed or not when she takes care of my bb... if she feeds per bb's demand, think it will mess up the whole feeding schedule.

I also worry abt my mil feeding my bb.. sometimes I find her.. cannot keep track when she feed baby...
Bb feeding schedule is 3 hr.. then last week when bb cry at 3 hr she keep saying why so early.
So I ask her why she say early, she told.. not 4hr meh? and I question her back, why 4hrs? we are always on 3 hrs feeding...
other times...when bb cry badly maybe tired, she will keep asking if bb is hungry tho it's not feeding time yet.
There was a time when she make milk for bb at 5pm, around 630-7pm bb cry... my hb ask was it feeding time ( cos he just came back) and my MIL tell my hb it is becos bb last feed was at 3pm!!!
Then I quickly correct her.. bb has her milk only at 5pm.. I was very bad then, I told her she is the one make milk at 5pm.. how can she forgot?
Sometimes when I'm doing feeding, I can understand if she not sure when exactly I feed bb.. but if she is the one who last feed bb, I think she should be responsible to remember what time was fed etc..
I was and am still worry if my MIL can remember things clearly. Sometimes find her very forgetful.
I have suggest to her to write down like I do every time she feed bb and how much...
But I dun think old folk is gng to do it.

morning mummies...woke up to pump as dun want to risk decreasing my MS further. very tired and sian on pumping but trying to press on. the rest of the moo-mies..jia you ya!
yesterday i went n buy dumex mamex gold...big tin. any of ur bb drinking this brand? i am not sure if my boy will drink it as he is now on TBF but currently drinking Similac as a standby. the tin is almost used up as we will always put it in the milk dispenser when we go out and end up not using it. and as time goes by, once not used, moisture will be trap in it no matter if you close it or not..so in the end, always end up throwing them. and now back to work soon, wanna stock up some FM for emergency case. so just in case my boy doesnt like the new taste, i thot of selling to those bb who are drinking it else it be wasted. my hb was saying "wah so brave...chg new brand..how u know if my son likes it" hee...but since no sample,..thot of changing as Similac feedback is that it can be quite heaty and foamy when swirl. so let me know if any of ur bb is drinking this brand and dun mind buying from me if my son does not like it.
hi is there extra CD on massaging that can pass to those that miss yesterday session? i am interested to know how to massage. will pay for the postal fee.

miracle_bb,
I'm using NUK teats, medium, no 1. My gal can manage but if she is too hungry, she tends to use too much force, and sometimes chokes... she is drinking about 150ml each feed now, so I think your bb is ok..
If you feel not enuff, or your bb is drinking the bottle till the last drop, you can try adding 1 oz more to to see whether he takes it

Pochacco, still have in T2 huh? We didn't bother to go over to try when we couldn't find it on the bourhure..
Mummies,
I also let Shannon sleep as much as she wants, coz she hardly sleeps in the day, and my PD say bb will listen to their own body signals and know which is more important to them, sleep or food...

Think it's coz she's born in the year of the Rooster, so she wakes up early... haha...
my bb was making noise at 4am, 5am n 6am. had to wake up to stuff pacifier in.
relation w hubby def not as lovey, but i'm not e lovey kind, so i'm not too bothered.. my frens say he lucky, i dun demand him to help w bb. i'm those kind if u dun take initiative to help, i wun bother to ask. so these days he still can play pc games whole day. arguments def ve one, ve to close one eye at times. tempers fly cos lack of zz too.

Hi Tabbiesus,
yes, the discount is the same as the one that both cookie and me joined in for...
But I think some other mummies want to get direct from Korea...
I bought the Mousse bear one, very nice...

RE : Feeding
I cant take it liao. My boy went extremely crazy with feeding.
1.30pm - 140ml
4.30pm - 60ml
8pm - 60ml
11.30pm- 130ml
2.15am - 80ml
6.30am - 20ml
8.30am - 40ml
How could he possibly be not hungry?
Relationship with hubby is def not like before. Like everyone says, the lack of sleep really affects the temper. I'm extremely tired and stress over this issue and he doesnt really seems concern. I try to be understanding by doing most stuff and let him sleep as much as he's working and I'm on ML. But that doesnt mean I'm not tired. Havent slept well for 2 months! Why cant they take initiative rather than always wait for instructions?

sunny,
my pd said that it is normal for bb to slow down their intake as long as they are growing..but we as mummies get panick when our bb refused milk afriad that they are not growing.
no matter what..when it is time for milk,i will still make 125ml for him even knowing that he cannot finished it most of the time.

Hi Joanna,
I am from the Feb thread. Have been browsing here once in a while. How do you manage to reduce pump to 2x from the 3hrly pump and still get the same. I am pumping 3x abt 7-8hrly at 200ml each time, but when i try to reduce pump to 2x, I can only get 250ml each time and the breasts were very painful. I am trying to cut down and wean off. How ah? or any other mummies can help?

Hi mummies...
Woke up at 11am this morning...maid helped with baby and hubby with elder boy...marked till 1.30am last nite but still not done...aarrgghh...so now gotta continue to pia...
Jasminesym and other mummies...I take alot alot of warm fluid and drinks...keep taking milo or soya bean milk to make sure that I am properly hydrated and then the milk supply will be there. On days when I dun hv much time to eat and drink...I realise that there is a dip in the supply....so I try to take lotsa fluid...think it also helps that I will take one big glass of warm milo in the night before I go to bed...so my last feed with James would be 10.30pm in the night...somedays...he will wake up at 5am to be fed....then after that, I will pump in school at 7.30am....thereafter....the next pump will be between 1.30 to 3.30pm...can't really fix it due to impromptu meetings at times...but on average...can yield abt 700ml each day...
I started training my breasts 3 weeks before I went back to school...so baby was totally on the bottle till evening time when I will offer my breasts....so I guess my breasts were "trained"...however...some days...I can feel some blockage coming up and then what I do is to diligently massage and hand express during my shower....no choice...for the sake of baby....gotta continue pumping...
but...i also try not to stress myself...if i have only that amount of supply, I congratulate myself that my baby will still have BM no matter how little...so I think staying positive helps too...
So mummies who hv gone back to work...remember to eat and drink enuf so that you will have sufficient supply for your baby...
Jasminesym and other mummies...I take alot alot of warm fluid and drinks...keep taking milo or soya bean milk to make sure that I am properly hydrated and then the milk supply will be there. On days when I dun hv much time to eat and drink...I realise that there is a dip in the supply....so I try to take lotsa fluid...think it also helps that I will take one big glass of warm milo in the night before I go to bed...so my last feed with James would be 10.30pm in the night...somedays...he will wake up at 5am to be fed....then after that, I will pump in school at 7.30am....thereafter....the next pump will be between 1.30 to 3.30pm...can't really fix it due to impromptu meetings at times...but on average...can yield abt 700ml each day...
I started training my breasts 3 weeks before I went back to school...so baby was totally on the bottle till evening time when I will offer my breasts....so I guess my breasts were "trained"...however...some days...I can feel some blockage coming up and then what I do is to diligently massage and hand express during my shower....no choice...for the sake of baby....gotta continue pumping...
