Hi,
I;m back here...
So many posting and questions to answer... I tried to answer everyone of it....
Kimi, Doggiebb,
Haha, last nite I also like that, I woke up a 1am feed, put back, 1.30am wake up again, forget it's to change or feed her.... this continues all the way to 4am, I cannot tahan already, put bb beside me, latch her on in lying down position and she slept till morning 7.30am.
BB is going thru a stage of transistion... their pattern will change... Initially, ur bb may b very guai, don't need to carry, but as they grow, they gets to be more alert on their surrounding, hence that's explain y bb keep waking up crying, sometimes they just need to be hugged for sense of security like in ur tummy like that....That's the reason y my gal managed to sleep till 7.30am while I sleep beside her, cos she can sense the similiar feeling like in my tummy. I'm not fret over the waking up, cos I know this stage will pass soon.... I also latched her on everytime she wake up, but I realise sometimes it's for comfort sucking, anyway, I'm fine with that lor, but for awhile and not too long lah....
Bloom,
Get ur hb to do a thorough massage for you.... That's what my hb did on the very day when my milk starts to flow, so everytime when I pump or feed, I just make sure that's no pain or lumps around the breast, if there is any, I just quickly massage it till the lumps cleared lor.... Train ur hb to be LC lah, my hb now charge me $40 per session, cos he said he's my personal LC now, so he charge $2 less....hahaha...
MBB,
Welcome back, seems like u also like me huh, missing the forum, that's y back here so soon
ur gal is sooooo cute n chubby.... aiyo, so sweet.... I can't post my gal's photo leh... file too big n can't resize....
Jackie,
Don't be too stressed, tell ur hb, if u r feeling ok with the waking up 2-3 hrly, if u r ok, then both of u shouldn't deprive bb on the goodness... unless u feel very tired over it. In long terms, u will see that all these r worth it.... haha... now my hb only make sure I wake up to feed and rest in the day.... hee hee...
Karen,
if u have the time, u can actually place the frozen EBM in the lower fridge first 1 day b4 hand, or u can place it in rm temperature to thaw it, but if really really very urgent, place straight into warm water and change water frequently to make sure it gets heated up fast enough to feed ur bb lor.
QSG,
Dr Sim did tell me if I had any problem, I can make appt to visit her when I bring Reyna back to Dr Ong for her jaundice review, but since I got no problem, so I didn't go lor.... I may not go back to Dr Ong for the injection, but for my no.2 we brought her back for injection and the charges including consultation lor. So bringing bb back to him is better in a sense that he actually give her a check up every visit, but I;m not sure if polyclinic doing that or not.
Normal consultation i think it's about $70 - 80.
My mum only allow me to shower on Tues with the herbs once n I told her I need another one, and she promised me either tml or Sun, but yesterday I cannot tahan, so I jus on the shower and rinse myself lor, didn't use any soap lah, just a quick cooling rinse nia...
My tail bone not so pain liao, but the other pain still there, like when I turn my body, those joints like rusty and cannot move n turn like that, but now better liao.
afcai,
I've nvr heard of "Sheng hua" soup leh...anyway, I think I'm too late to drink now....
Jen,
It's SHOW, give u another 2 days of Freedom at most...hahaha... enjoy while u can!! Good Luck!
Hahaha, now I so happy, can tell ppl what was the symptoms of labour....
Choo,
I've opt for 4-bedded but was given a 2-bedded instead. My hospital bill is only abt $600 which include the extra days both my bb n me had stayed. This time round was real cheap.... I rememebered my hb paying another $1K+ when I gave birth to my no.2. That's was with epi and not including the extra days my gal need to stay when she returned for Jaundice Treatment....
There are milk bags available in the shopping centre. Do not freeze milk in bottles, ur bottles, either glass or plastic will break. My mum broke my medela plastic bottle once, cos she drop the frozen EBM on the floor and the bottle just cracked. For frozen EBM, it can be stored in freezer for 2 months and remember to store in milk bag, though some ppl got no problem storing in glass bottle, just remember not to fill to the rim. My recommendation for milk bag will be Lanisoh milk bag, cheap and good. Avent one mayb cheaper, but Avent one is milk liner, which means it's thinner and more prone to contamination if stored together with raw meat... try to separate the milk with raw meat while storing
Decbb,
I also used to waking up feeling hungry during my pregnancy period especially the last few weeks... but now no more, I rather sleep than to wake up for food liao
Qianhui,
