edksd,
my bb is poo-ing lesser now i think that's a great improvement. she used to poo at every feed. now cut down to 2-3 poos a day. once she poo once a day.
sha,
i'm a big believer in sarong sling too. i learnt how to tie a sarong from my MIL's indonesian maid and i used it when baby is fussy. she fell asleep in no time and i get to enjoy the intimacy being with her in the day. i agree that we need to wear those special nursing tops to be able to BF successfully with the slings. i need to get more!
cereal,
yes. i entered the causeway point nursing room one day. it's quite big. got changing station and sink and got two cubicles. there are chair outside the cubicle but since everyone is female in that room i BF outside the cubicle but then to my horror, when one of the cubicle is opened, out step a couple. so i quickly cover my breast liao. so embarassing then quickly entered the empty cubicle and lock the door. then only i can BF in comfort. my bb so can get milk all over her mouth when BF. good thing is, my bb takes 15 mins longest. so anyone waiting for me won't have to wait long hehee.
joon,
lol you so funny. i guess i'm one of the BF success stories. i did lose weight and my gynae noticed it too. she said i'm slimmer than what i used to be when i went for my pre-pregnancy check-up. but that's b'cos i tend to drink more than eat. i don't know if there actually is any difference between DBF and pumping exclusively b'cos I'm 99% DBF and my weight has been consistent. did i mention i gained 6kg during pregnancy and lost 10kg after birth? i BF on demand.
e-ling,
i never wipe my boob. sometimes i'm sweaty but bb is impatient so i just use my shirt to wipe and bb latch on. luckily so far no thrush issues heheee.
princessemma,
i dunno about no-ahem-ahem-before-pap-smear-rule b'cos i did ahem ahem before my pap smear hehe. i did it on my postnatal checkup. so far my boobs are only for the baby. it's still leaky so no way we can use it for ahem ahem.
i agree that drypers are the only that doesn't leak although i hate the sticker tape as well.
domesticgoddess,
ditto on latching! i latch b'cos bb and i have no problem doing so and b'cos i'm too lazy to prepare bottles and sterilize/wash pumps and bottles so even when i'm outside i try to DBF as much as I can. i just looove the experience lah. oh don't you find that babies on BM don't have smelly vomits compared to exclusively FM babies? not to belittle FM. it's still good for the baby and serve the same purpose.
anybody still taking jamu? i am b'cos i believe the jamu helps in maintaining my weight. i just bought another from my massage lady. it's safe for breastfeeding although it makes your body heaty.
littlepony,
my bb wants to suck to sleep too so i gave him NUK pacifier. i close my eyes on the ugly dents that pacifier makes as long as she's comfortable with it and goes to sleep peacefully.
rainnie,
huh really ah must be naked? i dunno liao hehe. why don't you call to see if you're suitable for it? i'm sure they'll be able to assist. somebody say to cut down on meat that's true. i didn't eat much meat during my confinement and i lose weight drastically. i actually have to dig out my pre-marital clothes and was thrilled to know i can fit in those once again!
michelle,
too much foremilk when direct latching? how long did you latch bb for? if it's 10 mins it's good enough. don't switch boobs when latching. i use one boob at a time.
mommies,
just went to momsinmind website and saw that they have a talk on how to use the sarong sling. maybe they can teach how to BF using that sling. you might want to consider attending. i didn't buy the sling from them so i dunno if i can attend or not.
