hi wendy, my boy is 3.5 weeks old. wah... 75 ml enough huh? today i tried 90 ml... he managed to finish... went to buy sarong sling, learning how to use... hope it's useful.
hi Summer, my PD, Dr Yeo from Kidz clinic at Glens told me, even baby is FM feed, no need to give water. i dun believe. i think it's better to give unless you are BFg. BF has more water content so no need water.
Bulma, if u r feeding about 8 feeds a day, according to my PD she said it's ok? quite confusing hor? dunno whether correct amount or not. too little worry they cant grow well, too much scare over weight... haiz...

the massage getting better, but tummy area there still too painful. she's pushing the uterus back into place? anyway, she's pushing something n it's really difficult for both her n myself, wonder if other moms make as many faces during massage
sometimes try to control also difficult, wonder if labour pain feels like tt? no wonder susi say someone joke n say put epi first then massage can or not
I think if bb is on any fm, need to give water coz fm is thicker than bm. scared bb get constipated. anyway, the older generation always say must givve more water, gd for bb. since they giving her fm, then ok la, give water.

Hi,
My boy gets cranky too leh. He's not able to sleep more than 3 hrs without waking up & crying for milk. I've to feed him every 1.5-2 hrs.
I find that he doesn't really sleep very well. He'll make a lot of grunting noises, stretches a lot a lot. After drinking milk, if he does that, he'll regurgitate milk out, esp if he's being fed fm.
I give him 2-3 fm feeds a day, rest all direct latch or EBM. He demands to be fed abt 12 times a day & he drinks on the avg 95ml. So means he drinks abt 1140ml a day!!!
Venus,
How do u make ur gal sleep thru huh? How much r u feeding per 4-5hrly tat can last thru?? It's really very tiring having to wake up every 2hrs. By the time I finish feeding him, put him to bed, clean up (if bottle feed), I can only catch abt an hr of sleep. Very siong leh. Do share some tips leh.
Regarding the massage, anyone has contact for baby massages?? If it really helps in making him sleep better, I would like to try it out.

think the 6-in-1 and 5-in-1 jabs ah i also not so sure. But i opting for the 6-in-1 jab cuz ah lesser visits to clinics and fewer jabs
But i don't know if i want to opt for chicken pox and hep a leh... it's differnt cost. Think if i opt for all jabs ah at my pd there is $710 (after discount) expensive or not ah?

Hi Etelle
Two diff pds told me the same thing - dun give water. FM also contain 90% water, breastmilk contains more water.
Hi Selina
Wehn the baby regurgitates milk, you may want to cut down on the milk intake as the pd told me that the stomach is still not mature and when baby takes in too much, baby will spit out or regurgitate the excess. My gal was drinking 120ml becayuse when we fed her 90ml, she kept crying for more, and I noticed she will regurgitate a while later and brought her to the PD. PD said that the amt of milk should be according to the weight of my baby. At 2 weeks old, my gal weighs 4.1 kg, and pd said gie about 90ml is sufficient. Adding water is adding bulk to it, occupying space in their small tummy area.

Hi Jasmine
How old are your 2 elder ones ? Can they play together ? My gal is 2.5 years old, and yesterday someone delivered baby's gift to us, and she wanted it. I know she's showing signs of posessiveness from her actions and words, i hope this is a passing phase that she will get adjusted to.
Hi babycutie
How old is your gal now ? It's hard to strike a balance, or to look after two together at the same time.

Hi Bulma
Just now I called the breastfeeding mothers support hotline and the lady who answered the phone told me better not. Am confused, cos one of my friends called perviously and was told that it's ok to perm and color but must wait 3 hrs to passed before giving BM . So when I asked the lady again, she said she will have to check with the others.
I am in coming to 3rd week of confinement , guess it's ok to go perm and color ya ?

Hi Bulma
RE: blocked nose, you can try using a cotton bud to clean the nostrils, esp the sides of the nostrils that may have trapped mucus in there. There's a thing for clearing mucus too that you can get from kiddy palace, under a few brands such as pigeon, baby 1st etc. looks like a bulb where u squueze. If it's really bad, the pd can prescribed a nose drop for nasal congestion.

Hi Etelle
The sticky mucus could be because of the sput out of the milk. Use the cotton bud and roll it in the inside of his nostrils, esp the sides, to clear it, should be able to clear some of it.
You can also use a normal cotton pad and twist it and roll it in the nostril to clear it.

Hi Lenny,
My 2 older ones are 6 and 8 yr old. They quarrel very frequently and are at the age where they defy your instructions, so its difficult to bw shouting at them and the bb is crying at the same time.....
Its normal for your daughter to be jealous, just spend some quality time each day alone with her, think she will pass this phase in no time.
Are u attending City Harvest ?
Re : milk intake
I checked with 2 PDs and they say 90ml every 2-3hrs is more than enuf for my 5 wks old boi. Besides, his birth wgt has jumped fr 2.8 - 4.3kg, so I am pretty happy. I think each bb is different, so if he is thriving well without spitting too much milk out or appears hungry after feeding, its ok lor.
