butter8,
no worries, eventually we'll all bring our babies out. Just start out by going for a short while only and with your DH accompany you, and bring out the necessities such as wipes, 1-2 diapers, and 2 feeds. Remember not to panic when baby cry, but try to soothe baby while getting the feed ready.
My gal usually doesn't latch on and when we brought her for the 1st PD appt, i just fed her before leaving the house so never bring any feed out. To my horror, she cried for milk the moment we reached the clinic, so bo bian i die die must try something rite? So i decided to latch her & see how, luckily she latched on and drank from my breasts. What i'm trying to say is, no matter how prepared we are, sometimes things just happen, but relax and i'm sure you'll be able to handle the situation there & then...
Ningyo,
Yah the lucky baby slings very nice hor...i've ordered the Asian Cranes design, though for this i've to wait 2-3 wks while the other design this weekend can get,but i still preferred to get something i like...hee
mommies,
actually having ample supply of BM is a plus point. However, there's also nothing wrong with feeding FM lah, i also grew up strong & healthy on FM. i'm just lucky to have good supply of BM, so just feed lor, initially i also gave supplement. No matter how little your breast milk is, just feed whatever you can pump out to your baby along with FM.

Not just first time mum. This is my 3rd time round and I am equally protective!
With more experiences, we will learn to take things easier lah.
Whenever yucky things happen (and they do), I will tell myself, all these will pass.
And they do passed with us coming out stronger.
Jia You!
augbaby,
Mine oso. After latch, like insufficient, so i give 3 and a hald oz FM. Then sometx can be 1-2 hrs later, he seems to wan to feed again. I scare i end up overfeeding cos at times, he does regurgitate milk.
RE: cold vs snuffles
Any of ur bbies seem to have blocked nose? Mine seems esp bad today. But my PD told me b4 dat as long as mucus dun flow out kind, then it's not cold. But i see my bb breathe like so xin1 ku3. Feeding wise is still ok, jus notti, put down only, he cries to be carried.

Dear all,
Back from hospital. Delivered on Tues night at 21:33hrs after admitting at 13:30hrs with irregular contractions and 3cm dilation.
Now that I'm home, I noticed that my breasts are getting heavier. Baby latches on fine but fall asleep at the breast after 15min or so.
Pls advise what I shld do. Let him suckle for 15 mins each side and then express out the milk for another 15min each side so that I don't get engorgement? Or what? Thanks!

Just a note for all of us - An excerpt from BabyCenter
(I was reading the article sent to me just now)
Question: How long will it take me to get my figure back after giving birth?
Answer: It usually takes nine months to one year to lose the weight you gained while you were pregnant. Gradual weight loss (two to three pounds per month) is best for nursing moms. The body stores toxins in fat, and if you lose weight too quickly, they can enter your breast milk. In addition, if you burn too many calories too quickly, your body may not produce enough milk.

Fiona, Augbaby and Skyblue...
Went pd in the evening due to Zac's stuffy nose and rashes...
Pd said Zac had stuffy nose cos he had caught a mild flu
Given nose drop cos Zac's still too young for oral medication.
As for rashes, like what we discussed in the forum, just leave it, will recover on its own. He gave me cream but reminded me to use it only when condition worsens. If not, let it heal naturally. Baby is still young so avoid the cream, he reminded repeatedly. Cream has mild steroid.
Nurse told me to bathe baby in water, minus any soap. Doc told me to keep baby cool. My perspiration during BFing also causes the rashes, so now must try to keep myself cool too.
Hee, Zac's now 4.6 kg. Gained 1.5kg in a month. He still has jaundice. Wonder when will go off. Doc said if urine turns tea color and poo is white, must see him. So far, urine is clear and poo poo is orangy, so alright...

Hi augustmum,
My boy also has some rashes on his arms due to my perspiration during bfg and i apply Drapolene cream on his arms. So far quite effective, the rashes r gone. Drapolene cream is suppose to be used to treat nappy rash and so thought if it can be used on bum, shd be quite mild on the other body parts too.
Mayb u want to consider.

augustmum,
Same here. I brot my bb to a GP last evening cos i realy felt his breathing like very xin1 ku3. GP oso gave nose drops as well as a spray. But so far, i've not used it cos quite hesitant abt giving medi to a young infant. Mine is only 3 wks old. Haiz... My fren's dotter oso kena running nose & her GP told her try not to give the medi, so she let her dotter fight the cold on her own. So rite now, i'm still monitoring. Feel like giving the nose drops at times.
Where did Zac pick up the bug from?

Augustmum & Skyblue,
Hope your babies will feel better soon!
Last nite i noticed my gal breathing very hard, managed to pick out another thick piece of mucus frm her nostril...
Tonight going PD for her follow up check on her jaundice, shall see how much weight she's gained.
I know lots of mommy here engaged mona for massage. Just to share I'm using Mdm Rokiah and had my last session today. She's really professional and even taught me how to massage my baby. My tummy has went down so much and i can fit into my pre preg clothes alrdy. Very happy with the result! Hee..

If he's been latching on well since Day, he's doing a great job bringing in the milk.
Most first time mums will experience engorgement as the body doesn't not know how much milk the baby needs yet.
Mine was rock solid on the 3rd day the first time round. I could see the lumps on my breasts!
Today's your 4th day right?
When you hand expressed, is it golden yellow colostrum or milk (foremilk looks like rice water)?

I had the exact same thoughts too!
However, she's so fully packed now.
In fact, she finishes her day as late as 10pm sometimes.

Hi Bottle,
It takes time to slim down lah ...
Each time I weigh myself on the weighing scale, I am also hoping to lose all that pregnancy weight.
However, it's not healthy for us nor our baby (especially when we are still nursing or pumping BM) when we lose weight too quickly.
I lost my pre-pregnancy weight only a year after I delivered my #2.
Slow but steady. Definitely healthier too.

Hi Butter8,
U are not alone.. My gal now doesnt wan to latch mi as she used to bottle (EBM). I give her EBM during nite lo.. I miss her latching on me the kind of feeling n tears start flowing without hesitation.
I try to think positive too. Thinking when i go back to work, she wont be looking around for my nipples to be latch if under care of MIL. Mayb we are protective over our bb. Emotional changes to us. Lets think positively & as long we gave her as much BM we can till we dry (cos mine flow start to reduce BT i still manage to give her BM through out now as she is gg to 2nd week drinking abt 2.5oz)
I hope things will be smooth n getting on better to beat away e blues!

thx!
jasmine, thanks gal! wish you a smooth delivery!
bottle,
dun worry about weight.
for me i dun weigh so often, cuz i dun have weighing machine at home.only when i go check up then i weigh. in fact a massage lady told me to only weigh 1x per week at most. to lose a bit every week max, cuz not healthy for our body.

Skyblue,
My pd also recommends natural healing, avoid the use of medication. Nose drop used three times and stopped cos nose not that stuffy. Think Zac could have caught the bug during the full month celebration.
Ningyo,
I think I will let the rashes heal naturally as instructed by pd. At times, very tempted to use the cream he prescribed (to be used only when rashes worsen) as heard from some frens, the rashes will heal very fast. However, think of the steroid in it, decided to tahan.

hi, guess we r not alone. i feel frustrated sometimes, but get over quickly cos Hb is supportive. unless Hb happens to be
'The Problem', like arguing wif me wen i tik i m right. we jus got a new maid. cannot stand her alwayds carrying the bb. i m afraid bb will grow to be sticky to her n not close to mummy in future. told her many times not to carry, but she always go n carry non stop n shake non stop. hiaz, carry the bb more than mummy does. cant take this longer.

Hi Skyblue and Augustmum,
I hvnt logged in for a long time... cos' Reanne was hospitalised last wk.
Reanne was also diagnosed wz a stuffy nose during one of her checkups on 10 Aug. PD prescribed the Illiadin Degongestant nose drop as she was already one mth old. Oso asked me to clean her nose at least twice a day and as and when i felt her nose nds cleaning at other times of the day. After that the cough came and breathing like very xin1 ku3, went back to PD, got sm medication 4 cough and stuffy nose.
The cough got worse even after we started on the medication and finally on 21 Aug, decided to bring her to KKH to check. Luckily din nd to extract the sputum, doc gave sm expectorant cough mixture and a sodium chloride (nt medicine) to thin the mucus in the nose. But the cough mix made her cough so much that she looks more xin1 ku3 than b4, we then brought her bk to KKH on 23 Aug (2 days later).
Reached the A&E, and much to our horror, nurse said reanne was a little breathless already and was sent in to the ER room. What followed was too shocking for me cos' the doctors gave oxygen and checked her heartbeat etc etc...
Reanne din looked too unwell to us when we brought her to KKH. Was jus an instinct tt i shd bring her for another chk. Glad I did cos' cant imagine what wud happen if i didn't.
She was warded for 4 nites and diagnosed as RSV positive(supposedly a common flu virus). Luckily her lungs and airways were cleared. Doc said she cough becos of the backflow of mucus from the nose. Breathless becos of the stuffy nose.... She was nt given any cough mix, just another nose drop and the sodium chloride nose drop. (fyi sodium chloride is nt medication, quite gd to soften the mucus in the nose so bb breathe better)
So when i saw ur posting, tot i shd share with u gals... it's a bit long winded tho
anyway, consult a doctor whenever u think the baby is unwell, dun be afraid to be kiasu, better be safe than sorry... and always trust ur instincts... even the doc at KKH also said never underestimate a mummy's instincts.
Take care, oh ya... Reanne seems to be recovering liao... doc said virus takes two weeks to clear. 2day shd be the 14th day liao...

Good morning!
Any mummies using nappies? Tried using nappy on my boy but end up the nappy & nappy cover got all wet. Now switch back to diapers. Are boys unsuitable for nappies?
I remember when my mum was helping to look after my neice, dont seem to encounter such problem.
