ya lor.. it's double the price. i thought since my normal menses b4 i got preg wasnt tt heavy, so i would just take the normal one. hope nothing bad will happen...
 


Hi Joykel,

Oh I see, just opposite my condo....You are at full time mum staying at home to look after your baby? Is this your first baby?
 
hi mummies, had been a hectic week for me, besides taking care of bb n fighting d flu virus, was busy running to n fro clinics cos was worried of d blood streaks in bb's stools.

in d end brought her to kkh on fri n they decided to admit her for further observation so i stayed with my bb. luckily was not serious cos d doctor doin his rounds on sat morning found a crack at bb's anus while previous doctors incl me all didn't discover it. he said could be due to bb straining too hard during poo poo time or her stools too hard so d blood came from there, not internal...phew wat a relief! however i was so tired cos u cant really sleep well at d ward tho they provide a foldable bed for parent.

very sian oso cos hubby had been busy with work n will not be hm many nites again due to this IMF event n he had been very sick oso...sigh really hope everyone will get well soon
 
hi blessings,
sometime i go to ur condo to get grocery frm e mini mart.yeah im a full time mummy with 2 boys#01 @ 34mths n #02 @ 6weeks...not working since 2003.how about u?first child?who look after ur bb when u go back to work?
 
hohoho..record breaking pump session... 650ml.. cos i didnt pump for 7.5 hrs.. if only supply can be maintained at tt if i pump 3 times a day... but well, i know it wont.
 
im using PIS original, the old version one... dont have to envy me la.. cos it's like.. there's this motivation for me to produce enough for 3. cos my elder twins are always falling ill. then sort of hoping tt bm can help abit... just brought my elder boy to kkh today cos he had high fever..39.2 degree C. abit sad... His sis and he has been falling ill so often lately. and they've been on medication for a few weeks liao... really hate to keep feeding them medicine... it's as if they cant do without it.
 
my boy's slpg now... better after taking the fever and phlegm medicine. hopefully the fever wont come back again tomorrow. ya.. my twins is one gal and one boy. then my gal hasnt fully recovered from the bronchitis.. still vomitting alot of phlegm.
 
zlia

Misaryeo,
Pumping bm at work is really leh chay...I only pump 1-2 times, depending on the number of meetings i have and if the timing clashes. So far, I have been pumping at ard 1pm and 5.30pm.... pump before i go home...sigh ... no choice

brambles,
I just bought the Avent manual Pump and infact, find it better than Medela PIS. With the latter, I would usually pump 220-300ml per 25 mins pump after 5.5hrs, but with Avent manual pump, just 15mins and get more than 300ml... surprisingly...
 
hi joykel

i brought my boy to chinese phy too. he said he's very heaty too n the phelgm is from his stomach. stomach weak that's why produce some much phelgm. The medicine is ok but once he had flu or cold again then had to go back to western medicine liao...
 
Hi Z-lia,

I know one sick will easily pass to the others... how do u cope wif all that? My boy sick i'm very stressed liao... so worried will pass to my bb girl. Each time he wants to come near, i will ask him to go away... so sad... but no choice lor... sometimes he even cough right in front of mei mei... he's still so young (2plus) how to make him understand? Is it normal for kid to vomit out phlegm? I think it's better for them cos after that they will feel better right? But hor... the process is so scary to watch... like he's gonna choked anytime...
 
Hi mummies,

Isnt it tiring to use manual pump? me on medela... pump 180-200ml 25mins every 5hr interval... abt the same as most of u lor...
trying to feed both my children...

Z-lia, cant imagine your superb supply!!!! You must feel very engorged if u dont pump out right?
 
Hi Mummies,

Check with you all arhz? When does the lochia ends arhz? My baby oreadi coming 8 weeks old liao but I still havin lochia? And when can resume sex huh? (hehe)
 
Hi Mich, I have the same question also. Mine still got. It's like one day got than another day dun have..

Btw, What do you all do when you are with baby the whole day? I wanted to "play" with baby but I'm so tired.. I just fed him and hope that he sleep. Nowadays he want milk in 2 hours (or less than 2 hrs). Actually i could try to extend by carry him around give water etc.. but I'm too tired so I just give in and give milk. Is it not right to do this?? It's so tiring ..
 
Lucida
u're not alone. on wkends when i care for my bb, i also do the same thing. my bb also gets hungry in 2 hours, sometimes less. i end up giving pacifier just to keep him quiet! i also feel guilty for doing that. hv u tried increasing his feed? i did that this wkend and find that i m able to stretch his feeding time. now, when bb sleeps, i can watch TV or read a book, thank goodness.
 
Alvina, ya, ure right.. mabbe its better for them to vomit out phlegm.. mabbe it means tt my gal will get better soon...? sigh.. And regarding coping with the 2 kids when they are ill together.. actually, frankly, i think i dont do the coping. haha. i feel my MIL does most of the coping. She's great i must say. I feel tt to some extend, i only consider myself as helping her out. And ya, like ur son, my gal and boy sometimes will cough or sneeze in front of baby. Then i have to ask them to go away also (sometimes scold them). Then my gal cannot scold one. As in, i cannot scold her one.. when i scold her she'll cry and want me to carry her. Then sometimes the twins will be very helpful..like..wanna give their meimei pacifier, etc. but sometimes they will just hold baby's pacifier after sneezing and cleaning their own mucus. so abit scary.
and ya, i'll get engorged if i dont pump after 3 hours. but im more or less used to it. am pumping less often now.. cos gotta help out with taking care of the twins, and am very tired...and lazy. haha.

Mich, heard tt 6 weeks after delivery can resume sex.

Lucida, it's the same here. Everytime after i feed my baby, i'll hope tt she'll slp. But on the other hand, im afraid tt she'll slp too much and wont slp at night. And missmoon, it's the same..i give her the pacifier just to keep her quiet. Then my husband just told me today tt he feels tt im always stuffing her mouth with the pacifier. then for baby it's like.. slp, drink, pacifier, slp, drink..etc
 
Hi Z-Lia/missmoon, my baby dun wan pacifer leh. I sometimes manged to stuck it to my baby mouth but that's with something to hold the pacifer in place. I try increasing the amount later.
 
Hi Z-lia,

You r a lucky to have such mil. My mil is helping me too but still i feel so tired all the time cos my boy is very sticky to me.

How do u get such milk supply? Have u been pumping regularly every 3 hrs? How much BM do u give your older kids? How old r your twins?
 
Alvina, i duno.. for me it was like..first 3 days i latch my gal on for very long. Even in the hospital the nurses kept pushing her in for feeds. Then from 4th day onwards i pump everytime after latching her on. Then subsequently I just pumped and latch her on once in a while. Initially i pumped every 2 hours (when she fed every 2 hours), then became 3 hours. Then now most of the time i'll pump after her feed, unless i dont have the time to (when the twins are at home and cranky). But i think i drink alot alot of water. Im like..so thirsty always. mabbe tt contributes?

My older kids.. weekdays they take 2 feeds of bm. about 100ml each for each feed then i'll add fm. when they're ill i'll increase the amt of bm slightly. then weekends they'll take 3 feeds of bm. They're turning 21 months in a few days' time.

Lucida, ya...sometimes i have to place a bolster or something like tt beside my gal to hold the pacifier in place. if not once the pacifier flies when she sucks too hard, she'll scream.
 
brambles, i realise if i drink more water, supply will be better.. i nv eat anythign special leh.. in fact sometimes lunch time becos too busy, nv eat well.. feel very bad cos bb takign nutrients from me and i'm not eating well..

Hi dsii/Mich/MTDT,

It is really very sad, Even was really very adorable. Feeling very sad and tears just drop uncontrolled. I think nothing really matters as long as our BB is healthy.

mich..dun let ur maid see ah..later she waterfall too..thinking of her own son ah
 
dsii, hope ur son gets better soon. Nose block very xin ku one, very poor thing.

So envy those mummies with good milk supply...
