Ginsengmum,

Can provide more details? Thanks!

Sylk,

Looking at her birth weight..
Your baby will have no prob hitting 5kg at full month.

Coz my BB's birth weight is much lighter than yours, but he also hit 5kg when he's exactly 1 mth..

Hi Mummies

Finally found some time to post... my baby has been doing well so far, just tat she is sometimes very cranky, esp last nite, fuss around and dunno what she wants... Hopefully it's only a one-time off thing... she's only 10 days old, too early to be colicky rt??

And I also dunno if her appetite is esp big or what, she needs to suck for at least 40min per feed before she can last for 3 hours... think my supply is quite good leh, cos the few times she overslept, my milk is dripping... haiz... so now she eats for 45 min, after all the burping etc, easily 1 hour liao... then 1 hour later, hungry again... wah... Think I dying from exhaustion liao...

Oh mummies, I found that she has some rashes on her face and around the neck, not very serious lah, just a bit. I suspect it's heat rash cos my girl loved to be swaddled, but those few days so hot, swaddled by nappy also very hot leh... Anyway to cure it? Or can I just leave it??

Qianhui
Can you please update for me?
BB name: Jingting
BD: 31-Dec-06
Natural with Epidural, vacuum assisted
3.7kg, 52cm.

jennytansc · Jan 10, 2007

Shld i buy the bouncer ar? cos living room more spacious & more wind.. in the room very stuffy & hot & small.

mbb · Jan 10, 2007

mbb · Jan 10, 2007

Jen,

i had my bb shower outside, my mom carry her and we also put her in the pram.

jennytansc · Jan 10, 2007

MBB,
i be having the bb shower @ mt hse.. somemore i rented out 2 rooms. lagi no much plc left.. oni left living rm & 1MBR & another entertainment room & corridor.. sooo pathetic to my guests hor.

Moreover,my cot if want to bring out to living room hv to dismantle & assemble again cos cant get out of the room door... So maybe i intend to go buy bouncer to put in living room so all can see her outside.. I havent buy pram yet also. cos MIL say she want to sponsor but we havent buy cos thot bb head havent stable also duno can put her in pram anot?

u finished ur confinement aldy?

jennytansc · Jan 10, 2007

Vanessa
isit i dun EBM hor bb keep sleeping dun latch much will ss go down?? I so worried my supply will stop after 1mth.

och · Jan 10, 2007

mbb,
i throw away any milk (both fm n bm) that isn't drank after an hr or so, longer if the milk is kept in aircon room. the milk bottle is gd breeding ground for bacteria cos there's nutrients n it's warm. whether i reheat or not depends on how cool the milk is. my bb prefers slightly warm milk, so i try to warm all milk to that temperature, then she drinks faster n i can sleep more.

ruffy_happy · Jan 10, 2007

Jen,
I will push the bb cot to the hall or just let my mum/mil/hb/me rotate and carry e baby

I think most prob No 2 coz my boy doesn't like to be in his cot when he is awake.

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

Hi Ladies,

ginsengmum,

agree w shihui, ur gal v sweet!

she seems to like di di hor? so nice. ur boi v cute too n he looks soooo much like jeh jeh. do they both look like u or ur hubby?

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi Shihui,
if bb got took the HEP B (first dose) then, during his ist mth, he needed to take the 2nd dose of hep b (cost $15 at polyclinic) then. the nurse told me that we can decide on the next appt (that 's mean during bb's 3rd mth) then decide to tell them if we are interested in taking up the 5 in 1 or 6 in 1 jab or the normal jab which is free of charge except those extra HEP B jab.

yup, the free jab is the jab listed in the bb's health booklet. yup, u are right, dun need to go for individual jab if taken the 5 in 1 or 6 in 1 jab but need to pay as those jab are extra which contain a mixture of other jab.

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi QSG,
that's what the nurse explain to me and hubby when we go for bb's Hep B jab on mon.did any medicine given to bb after the 6 in 1 jab? cos the nurse told me that if taken 6 in 1 jab, doc will normally give bb some medicine to prevent fever.

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi Vanessa Lu,
u are welcome. tot will have to wait for long time at polyclinic. but only waited 1/2 hr for the jab etc.

ask u, did yr gar cry whenever she have her bath? my gar will cry very jialat (scream) when she has the bath till now. dunno why? since my mum left after confinement, my hubby bath my gar cos I dun want take the risk to squat. my gar cry even we talked to her.

any idea way to comfort her?

jennytansc · Jan 10, 2007

Hi conniemummy,
yup, I was surprised too when nrse told me those jab listed on the bb's health booklet are free if we did not take the 5 in 1 and 6 in 1 jab. I asked her why and she mentioned it is a complsory jab required by sg gov national immunsation program.

the only thing one need to pay extra is the HEP B for 2nd dose and 3rf dose.

as for my gar's appetite last wk, terrible, feed hrly dunno why. she would slp then wake up hrly. since mon (8/1) till now, these 2 days, she woke up hrly or every half an hr for feed cos in bet she drank a little and sleep. dunno why. so tired these day.

today ok, now she is sleeping since 1230 noon. might be waking up soon.

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi bobianah,
oic. as for ym gar, dunno the feeding time cos she anytime want to drink she drink and then she slp again. so I can't drink DOM directly.

the common allegies are:
Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, peppers, onions, garlic, spicy foods, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine.

refer to http://www.babyworld.co.uk/information/baby/breastfeeding/breastfeeding_diet.asp#allergies

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

Jen,
yes, ss will dip if no pump n latch on....

MBB,
Last time 4 my 1st gal, I usually throw away once the milk is cold, scare got wind, I rather waste the milk then my sanity if she developes wind in her.

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

Jen,
It's not neccessary to state the time, but the date is a must. After thaw can only be keep for 48 hrs. As the mixing the milk, personally I won't mix them unless they are of the same day, cos the expiry date will be the same in this case. The day b4 one it's already 1 day old liao, so I won't try to mix unless it is to be consume immediately.

zhuzhu,
Welcome!!
Apply bm to ur nipple and air dry it. It will takes abt 2-3 days to heal. If the sore n bleed ar very serious or u cannot tahan the pain, get a nipple shield to help u latch on. If u r pumping only, then u got to learn the hand expression method which is not harsh with your nipple.

Make sure u r latching on correctly that bb is taking the whole aeorola and not just the nipple.

linette · Jan 10, 2007

Afcai,
My baby also like that...every hour must latch on, and when feeding on breast, will fall asleep after just 10 min on one breast. Like using my nipple as pacifier like that. Then when I put her down to sleep, she will suddenly open her eyes big big. Also dunno how. So, in the end I put her in sarong, seems to work a little bit.

MBB,
Same here, the moment the milk turns cold, I will throw away the milk. So, we usually wait for her to wake up before heating the EBM, otherwise very wasted.

Ask all of you:
Do you gals feed gripe water to your babies even though they are so young? My girl is about 5 weeks now, and I am wondering if I should feed her gripe water to prevent wind!

conniemummy · Jan 10, 2007

vanessa,

can i check with u?

since yesterday i discovered that my breasts still feel not filled even after 4 hrs since the last feed... which in the past, i would have felt slightly engored... is my ss dropping?

i feel insecure lei, keep feeding my gal with soft breasts..

alabone · Jan 10, 2007

conniemummy,
i have the same prob as you. since yesterday or the day b4, i have been totally latching bb on and not pumping AT ALL. Breasts feels a bit heavy only and not engorged or anything. slight leakage also. and bb feeds not regular one. sometimes 1hour, 1 half, sometimes 3... don't know she having enough or not... also feels insecure. but i think if latch on more frequently, then like shihui mentioned b4, will signal to brain need to produce more milky milk... plus i super lazy to pump and clean man...

vanessa, please advise!

conniemummy · Jan 10, 2007

alabone,

my breasts used to leak abit, these 2 days like no leakage at all lei.

but my ger quite regular in her feeding, usu around 2+ to 3 hrs, sometimes stretch to 4 hrs

should i be pumping more to encourage supply?

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi Bloom,
yup, the indian nurse who discharge me is good. oic, my hubby' aunt cut a bit of my gar' hair during her full mth last sat. we kept her hair inside the ang pow. will take her for a cut during 4th mth.

hmm wondering how much ru yi oil did u apply at bb's tummy each time? for me, I dunno how much, I only place 2 drops and rub on my hand and placed on bb's tummy.

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

Linette, alabone,
We dun always get engorgement. I also nvr experience engorgement at all, not even in my 1st few days. If bb w/o any supplement is having 6-7 pee, u r giving them enough. If u want to feel the security, pump out n see the amt lor. But sometimes u also must make sure u got no lumps anywhere around the breast, sometimes a lump at near the armpit can slowly down or obstruct the milk flow.

Linette,
I've ever check wif my PD when I had no.1 whether to give gripe water, she say not neccessary, so all my 3 kids nvr take gripe water.

alabone · Jan 10, 2007

conniemummy,
apparently that's what we have to do. pump more regularly like every 2hours lor to encourage more milk ss. your girl so good. can stretch to 4 hours. so two hours after she latch on you pump i suppose. think it'll help. vanessa mentioned b4 to pump after they latch on and i tried. very disappointing results.. like only 10ml... so i stopped doing that. discourages me. now i just latch her on totally. can see she got milk coz she throws up some. very happy.

alabone · Jan 10, 2007

vanessa,
so must massage the armpit also is it? must massage breasts b4 latching bb on? i never do. wonder if massaging b4 that would help.

linette,
i only let my boy take gripe water after one month old. my mum say too 'acidic' for them to take b4 one month...

afcai,
two drops of ru yi oil is good enough. rub and make it hot to apply on bb. last time for my son, i thought the more oil the better... end up after applying on him, he cried even louder coz maybe too hot or painful... was so worried.

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

afcai,
I jus dap abit, cos my mum told me later too hot will 'burn' the bb skin.

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

alabone,
haha I also nvr massage...lazy me... pump after latching will see an overall increase n it takes a few days to see the result.

conniemummy · Jan 10, 2007

i used to be able to pump around 120ml after latching my ger one... now i scared if i pump, if dun have tat amt, i will feel veri discouraged lei

but vanessa, can the fullness feeling just go just like tat? i mean i can still feel the fullness/ engorement 3 days ago, and all of a sudden since yesterday, i dun feel it anymore..

hmm, maybe i really should start pumping after every feed, just to up the supply..
and to fully utilise the PIS.. heehee.. now like under utilise

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

Those having post natal massage ladies,
Any idea whether anyone is doing it for 1 session n w/o binding one? Jus need a good massage 4 relaxation...

conniemummy · Jan 10, 2007

u like hard massages?
i have one lobang that goes to ur place for massage..for 1 pax she charges $40, but if have more than 1 pax, she charges $35 per pax

isishui · Jan 10, 2007

vanessa,
till now i still massage n pump leh... am i over stimulating my breasts? i can stock 3 x 100ml EBM in freezer a day n still hav leftover for 1 night feed leh... my mom scared of my supply liao.. she said i will hav a hard time in future when i want to stop.....

conniemummy · Jan 10, 2007

wow, maybe i should be more hardworking and start pumping everytime after feeding belle belle

alabone · Jan 10, 2007

MBB,
thanks for info regarding mdm sadiah. can massage after one month? need to tell her to avoid wound area?

ginsengmum,
your girlie very cute leh... so posey already!

your son and girl look very alike. how old is your girl? 18months?

vaness81 · Jan 10, 2007

Shihui,
My mum also scare of my supply last time

no prob one lah, u just need a longer time to totally stop the supply nia, maybe?

Connie,
I don't like hard massages. I like shiok shiok massage, go to salon want I very pai sei, but at home also no different hor, but comfort of our own house mah... hee hee... what kind of massage? Got use oil or wat or not?

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi Shihui,
with regard to the allegic food, not all bb are allegic to the food which I mentioned as followed:
the common allegies are:
Cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, peppers, onions, garlic, spicy foods, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, nicotine.

anyway, I do avoid these food liao. last time, I needed to eat spicy food (have chilli in every dish) but since when I was preggie, I lost interest in spicy food.

haa..me went braless except on bb full mth and taking bb for Hep B (2nd dose only). cos wearing the bra seem to be discomfort to me. the bra seems to flatten my nipple. as for the leakage, I either use handchief or thick tissue to place it on my breast and then tie a knot on my shirt to prevent the handchief etc fr dropping out.

if one dun pump regualarly (for eg 3hrs), the let down will be slow. for eg, realise that my milk supply gone down since bb 's full mth on sat cos my gar dunno why that day, she did not drink much and breast harden. so now let down instead of every 3hrs now become 6 hrs. scared not enough milk supply for bb. luckily, by the time, my gar finished 1 breast milk, the other already 3/4 or full liao.

afcai · Jan 10, 2007

Hi alabone,
oic. of cos, taking broccoli is gd, had beent aking it during my preggie cos of calcium mah. but now avoid it cos dun want any risk of getting bb allegies.

conniemummy · Jan 10, 2007

vanessa,
