stephanie,
how do you cope if its slightly lesser than.that means supply not meeting demand.
i also lesser now that baby has increase from 3 to 4 times feed while at work.but i find that if i'm at home whole day latch on, supply is enough baby eat happily. i feel that latch on easier for milk to come out cause its active sucking, pump is like passive sucking, have to pump till pua si..

i m also like u, esp during my 1st wk of work, i very stress n worry tis n that on the milk amount. But after tat, i told myself even little amount is also BM, better than nothing. Cos sometimes i also cant pump well at work. u r not alone. i guess not easy to pump at work.

stephanie:
ok when ur e other side let down, u quickly press n release e milk as much as possible fr e blocked breasts n thus e ducts wil naturally unblock. that time i got engorgement on my right breast n i use tis method. during let down quickly use hand expression to get all e milk out fr affectede breasts n retry again.

Serene,
Hee...got many days of leave to clear loh. Went to Dome for lunch.
No interesting buys. Got a blouse for myself fr Isetan and mainly groceries fr Giant. IMM is quite different now.
Now i normally shop online cos no time to go shopping loh. Yesterday's break was a good one
I'll be on leave next Thurs again. thinking of going to Vivo city.
kite,
oh dear, your ducts r blocked again? try pressing them hard to release the milk.
okasan,
same loh, i pump 6 hrly since i start working... so far so good...still got enuf for my girl. the good thing is that i reach home at 6 everyday so it saves me the trouble to sterilise and pump 2x in the office. can imagine what a hassle it will be.
Dor,
If i see the bandara, i will sure buy! $4.50 only?

Kite/Stephanie: U can get Leicithin granules at NTUC - it's under the organic section. It's like little pcs of grains, can add to your food, (I add to my rice) Almost tasteless. If you research online, you will find some articles that claim this helps to make the milk more thin so it doesn't clog easily.
Of course, you also need to massage and pump frequently, but like i said, since i took it a mth back, i've had no more problems with blocked ducts !!
Dor/i-Panda: Do you work ard Raffles Place ?? I used to go to ChinaSq for lunch but nowadays got to eat nearer my work place since i pump during lunch too
Dor: I recall you bought the quinny. Which model ?
Is it good ?

tinklebell,
It's so good to be on leave and shop on a weekday when everyone's working rite? The feeling just GREAT! Haa!
I know what it's like, dun have to squeeze with the crowd on weekend....but sometimes, i still find there're so many ppl at orchard during a weekday and i wonder there are so many ppl who dun have to work so good???
The last time I went to IMM, only the 1st level at the extension area is open, has the 2nd level open already?
Yes, i want to go to vivio city again, like what spicegal had said, too big so the last time, i just window shop and didn't cover all area...I intend to go there again maybe on monday.

okasan,
you drink coffee while BF? i didn't dare even though i like teh peng and coffee. u mean no effect on the milk?heard 'coffee milk' will make baby hyper? not true ah?
stephanie,
oh..i also have extra EBM in morning cause i didn't wake up pump middle of the night so i can manage to pump 1 feeding and latch at the same time in the morning.so i can use that for shortfall. its just that i've been using that extra to stock up for my trip. for cambodia before and now for the coming japan...
so technically my supply is still meeting demand? than i dont feel so bad.maybe i've to wake up middle of the night pump to make up for the holiday stock, but i tried that but difficult to come out

mummies
i m not sure how many of you are intending to buy the bumbo for ur kiddie. I saw at the ebay website that many bumbos there are going for below S$20 (excluding postage) and these are normally from UK mummies. Unfortunately i just bought mine over yahoo in singapore, otherwise I dunt mind bidding from ebay myself. Not sure how much the postage from UK to Singapore cost though

okasan,
The cereal that you had mixed with the milk is brown rice in powder foam rite? Do you need to cook it over fire b4 mixing with milk? How about those heinz baby cereal? i think for heinz, only mix with warm water or warm milk to serve rite? dun need to boil over fire?

kite and stephanie,
how do u all know its block duct? can feel lump? what if B feel heavy but milk difficult to come out? that's stress or physochology already is it?
last week i met a mummy with a 1 yr old girl at ikea nursing room. she said she still on TBF, ask me to jia yu (i must have this desperate look on my face about MS is it) and that stress at work doesn't affect. her secret is hardworking, just keep pumping 3 times at work.
okasan,
think i stubborn about FM,just don't want to mix. rather introduce cereal by spoon, if still not enough will mix inside EBM like you. u use HT brown rice cereal to mix inside bottle right, i'm going to buy that at lunch later.
re:water
since my boy is still on TBF, i give water very less, when hickup or hot weather.but if he drink FM for a feeding,i'll consciously give water. last time when boy 1-3 months, i give water after each latch on to clean his tongue cause very stain with milk. but i find it didnt really help to clear the stain, boy naturally outgrown the tongue stain and now no more.shouldn't have worried about the stain during that time, it kept me worrying.
ooppss..subject about water also i can talk until milk stain etc. dont think i even answer your question..

just now while working, i feel let down n then i quickly rush to toilet to hand expression n press my nipple hard on my abit blocked breast. i guess now its better. keep my fingers crossed.
i guess even REAL cow also got mood one, if not in good mood, cant produce milk well.

serene,
the brown rice cereal i bought just need to mix with ebm or water will do coz it's already cooked...it's flaky but will dissolve to become a smooth paste....if u grind the brown rice yourself, then u need to cook over fire first, very troublesome......
as for heinz cereal, also just mix with ebm or water will do...I bought one box but haven't let my son try coz want to finish the brown rice cereal first....

fi,
I told myself I should enjoy bf and not feel stress or unhappy...so I still drink coffee...eat spicy food...but in moderation lah...if everything also cannot, how sad life will be....
I rather give up bf then if I'm unhappy coz I think my son will prefer to have a happy mummy than a sad one...

does anyone know where to buy avent pump's spare part?i'm looking for the rubber breast massager, the one which is circle (like palm size) and fit inside the cone.
was wondering how the brown rice powder that we buy can be made 'instant' (just add liquid) by the manufacturer, is it some special process? that's why home made (grinded) better?
kite,
jst an idea, how about when u feel let down suddenly, then u quickly grab your pump and pump out so that you can save it for BB?

Serene, level 2 not opened yet. a lot of shops on level 2 have been closed.
kite, haha! ur comment is v funny!!!!
aishite, i agree with serene... not worth getting fr UK unless u have relatives living there and coming to spore soon..shipping cost is expensive!
fi, take more fish. helps to boost MS. I take fish for lunch everyday though i dont really like fish. Papaya also seems to increase MS. I take at least 1 pc day.
