Lenny,
I also hand expressed in the 1st week when I had bleeding nipple. Now most of the time, I used medela electric pump followed by hand expressed to get out all the milk. Be careful not to squeeze too hard as your breasts will be bruised.
Sunshinekid,
I brought my bb to PD for jab yesterday. He said my boi v gassy, potential colic, so must chk teats(not too slow n fast) and diet.
Wow! That's very good supply hor! So you dun latch on? So each time got average 220ml...

Hi,
My mum made this fish soup with payaya for me. It is supposed to increase the milk production. Anyone interested in the recipe? So far, I ok with it. But I don't think got sig improvement. Strangely, I think drinking chicken essence in the morning helps. (I hate chicken essence but my mum force me to drink 1 every morning. I noticed that on 2 days which I didn't take it, the expressed vol decreased.) So you can try that too.
Wah, Kudo to Sunshinekid! Do you store you bm in bottles or bags? I got a box of avent bags. but it got quite a few leaking bags. Very heartache to see the milk leaking for the bags, have to transfer them quickly into another bag and esp when the bags are not cheap too!

Hi All,
Just wondering if you guys got the free Dumex milk powder. If anyone of you not giving your bb Mamex gold 1, can pass to me? Thanks!
The pd said that I can only resume breastfeeding when my bb recovers from her jaundice. Even then, I have to supplement it with formula milk, not full breastmilk. So would appreciate if you can pass me the milk powder that you don't need. THanks!
Estelle, you want to try the fish soup? I don't think it's very difficult to make.

Hi Sunshinekid,
i all along pump 4x a day but when i try to increase teh frequently the MS never increase so end up give up still pump 4x a day. I think i need to supply FM to my boy liao he is a big eater. 1 day pump 4x manage to get 1 litre of breastmilk but still not enough for my boy. Sigh..I am not able to lactch my boy cos he will suck till bleed his gum too strong liao. So i never latch him on just pump loh.
Hi Wendy,
my boy drink 3.5 oz every 2 hrly. Every time he will finish and sometimes like not enough so might need to increase again. That why 1 litre of milk also not enough.
My MIL keep telling me to give formula.

i thot bm helps to bring jaundice level down not up??
my god, i think i'm going to explode liao. just now, aunt was saying tt she thinks bb likes fm more than bm, n i'm thinking like of course! whenever she's hungry, u juz make fm for her and she can guzzle it all up easily thru the bottle. if she latch on, need to work harder, so take a longer time. now, I latch bb on for 10 min, she'll suck then zzz. aunt ask she finish liao issit, then hint hint to take her away. 10 min of course not finish yet lah! my ms also not tt high, so after 45 min she wake up, then feed fm. thinking to myself i'm not sending my bb to her place when i go back to work if she's such a pro-fm person. now ms starting to stabilise at abt 200ml a day, but the rate aunt is going, think ms is going to stop. can't stand it! when confinement over, i'm so not bringing her over anymore. i sound terrible...keke
day 2 of massage, not as bad, but the tummy area there still v painful during massage. then so funny, susi burp during massage, n she say tt it's bcoz she's expelling the wind from my body.
bbcutie
my session is in the morning, so time a bit tight, esp if gotta eat n feed bb, tho the way things are going, probably dun have to feed liao as time goes by. still can't get over tt, so pissed off at aunt. anyway, tomorrow morning will remove and shower before she comes or else hold her up for the next person a bit paiseh. anyone here did massage with aircon? today switched it on and so much more comfortable, but not sure if it's ok tho susi said she's fine with it. she's really a v nice person

I did my massage with the aircon on as well, Nisah said it's fine. I also read from the Body Wellness website that massaging in an aircon room is ok.
Keropi
PD only told me that my bb's janudice may take up to 2 months to recover completely if i am breastfeeding but he din tell me to stop. He says as long as bb's body is not yellow, face only... it's ok, not serious.

lenny,
i tried using hand to express my BM but a few drop comes out onli.. very pathetic.. using pump the milk flow out faster but after 5 min, the MS slow dwn and gradually there's no more milk coming out frm the milk ducts.. den my breasts feel so soft as if i have empty my BM.. I going for my pap smear 2 weeks later, so if my MS still so low maybe can ask my gynae for some pills to increase my BM..

I also did the massage with aircon. Susi said aircon is better than fan. Mine is a ceiling fan.

The powder is called MILDERMA prickly heat dusting powder. Not all medical halls carry this powder. Both my kids have been using this powder since birth and they don't have any nappy rashes at all.

Hi gals,
It has been a long time since I log in. No internet access at my MIL's place lah.
Regarding feeds:
I latch my boy every 1.5-2hrs for the 1st 3 weeks. Subsequently, I supplemented 2 feeds with FM coz' too tiring (hubby help to feed). My boy is quite a big eater. Even on FM (avg abt 100ml), he'll want to be fed again within 2hrs. He likes small, frequent feedings.
Initially, was afraid my BM not enough for him. But was assured he's thriving as he'd gained 1.8kg within 1st mth (4.4kg at 1 mth old).
Here's a recent pic of him:
Realized that most of u give ur bb EBM. I find it quite troublesome, having to pump, store, then thaw. Prefer to latch him, although it's kinda tiring.

My hubby has been feeding me essence of chicken since i deliver. I have been drinking Brands till now... also clearing stock as friends/relatives gave me lots of Brands' Chicken esessnce. Yeah, may be it does help to increase milk supply
bb ger
haven't tried the sarong sling yet? I need a bag of rice for trial first..
Jasminsesym
My bb also doesn't sleep on her own. But right after feeding i will put her down and do my work till she cry for her sleepy pacifier...My problem with my bb is she wants to latch on before she sleeps. She usually fall asleep after 2-5 minutes...If i don't let her, she will be weaning till i let her latch on. Nevertheless, it is my easy way to make her sleep. But it will be a problem for me when i start work, so i may have to opt for a pacifier. Although i don't like the idea of pacifier... any advice?
Bbcutie.
I am a working mum. I will start work after 2 & half month of maternity leave. Saving 2 weeks for future use. Scheduled to recommence work by mid April. So i have to start training my bb already lor.
Last night my bb slept from 9.40pm up to 5pm.... she has been gradually sleep more and more during night time. So i only have to wake up once to feed her. I really hope she will sleep through the now by next month leh.

Venus,
I think you have to determine is it she need to latch on before sleep or she wants to be carried. If she wants to latch on, then try the pacifier, but she might not like it. My boi sucks the pacifier until very upset because nothing comes out.kekeke...Try lah, if not, you r going back to work, how to be human pacifier on demand...
Very good leh, so fast bb can sleep for such a long stretch, mine still wakes up every 3 hr, like alarm clock hahaa
bbs regurgitates milk for various reasons. Maybe, u overfeed her? How much is she taking? Another reason is wind in the stomach, check to see whether her stomach sounds hollow or hard. You can apply Ru yi oil for her to get the wind out. Just my 2 cents worth.

hi mummies, just discovered this thread n feel so relieved that there r so many mummies like me!! i gave birth in early feb.
Baby came down with cough in the second week cos my whole family incl me kena cough. Initially keep using mask when near baby but until now dad n mum still coughing so oredi give up using masks.
Did not establish good ms cos veri bz n everyone coughing n baby doesnt latch on well. Now ms is so low that i feel like giving up...
Oso very stressed when baby keeps crying the whole day, especially when she poos. Many times the poo shoots after i wipe her anus..
Lim, i find it very hard not to carry her when she is wailing so loudly n her face is all red...dun dare to leave her crying more than 10 min
Also need advice on 5-in-1 & 6-in-1. wanted to take 6-in-1 cos fewer injections bt the nurse told me 6-in-1 has higher risk of fever...so in dilemma now...pls advise which is better. thks

Venus,
i used the sling twice already.. u still have to use ur arm to support the bb's head.. after a day of carrying my ger, i realised my shoulder as well as my arm are aching from carrying her.. so i tink if u wana use the sling, it's onli for a short while.. if u go out the whole day, it's better to use pram.. it's more relax for u..

Hi selina,
I oso have a cranky bb.. sometimes it's so difficult to get her to slp.. and same as ur bb need ppl to carry her around if nt she will cry n cry non-stop till her whole face so red.. i used pacifier to try to stop her from crying and i tink she's addicted to it coz every nite b4 she slp she nid me to pat her backside as well as suck her pacifier den she can slp.. sometimes in the middle of the nite she can wake up and cry for no reason.. thot she wan milk but end up drink 60ml and feel asleep.. she ended up being colicky, fart alot too.. my aunt say it's due to the wing in her stomach. gave her "jin(1) feng(1) san(3) to relieve her wind and it appear to be quite useful.. maybe u would wan to try.. can get it @ any chinese medical store..
bb pooing after every feed is very normal but jus dun let him get conspitated.. try to feed ur bb wif water an hr b4 each feed.. ur bb "pushing" his poo out maybe be a sign of conspitation.. Did u observe his stool?

curry,
i oso hesitating btw the 6-in-1 jab and the 5-in-1 jab.. i called up polyclinic and ask them wat is the difference and the nurse told me the onli difference is 6-in-1 jab is with hepatitis B.. so she advised me if bb gt hep B jab in the hospital after birth, den there is no nid for 6-in-1 jab as it tends to overdose the bb.. but when i called my GP and ask, he say it's ok for bb to tk 6-in-1 jab, but the bb must be 1 and a half mth old den can tk.. den i ask him will overdose the bb, he say no.. so i duno which 1 to believe.. 6-in-1 jab is indeed much better coz bb dun have to suffer the injections so many times..

hi fan, Lim and bb_ger,
thanks for the prompt reply.maybe i am too anxious. very "pek chek" if he cries so much and yet i cant help. (my hubby is not staying with me cos i am doing my confinement at my mum's place.) so every night, it's a torture cos lack of sleep as well as heartache to see him cry. i bought Jin Feng Shan too but i think he is too young to take as for now. my boy sucks pacifier too but he will spit out when he falls asleep.(very short sleep then wakes up again)
as for Colic, i brought him for massage again today, really effective. he is better in the daytime, i hope he will get better at night.
Lim, ur baby drinks so much huh? got burp not? i tried feeding him 90ml before but ended up vomitting all out, scary man...
bb_ger, the stool a bit wet and sticky but no mucous, dunno healthy not.
thanks all for the reply, pls keep in touch

Hi All
I checked with the pd and he said how much a baby should drink is according to the baby's weight. Over-feeding would result in the baby spitting up milk, though the baby may not know what is the meaning of full. So it's not according to the table in the FM can, but according to the weight of the baby. Can't remember how to count, it goes by per kg on how much milk they should take. Also, pd said not to give water.
Hi Sunshinekid, babycutie, jasmine
Does your elder kid shows signs of jealousy ? Mine does on and off, esp when I have to carry baby while I am playing with my elder one and she will then tell me she will go find the maid to play with.

ching ching - how old is your bb? my 1mo ger is drinking 2.5oz/70ml only. 3 hrly. give more she cannot finish.
lenny - how much milk a bb needs per day is bb's weight x 150 ml
eg. my ger is ~4kg, so she needs 4x150ml = 600ml milk per day. assuming 8 feeds per day - each feed is 600ml/8= 75ml
so, she's not underfed. but the bbs here all can drink alot more. r they all sleeping thru the night already?
btw, i'm bfd n bottlefeed ebm.
