Alethea,
Maybe u can pump more than 3 times a day will be more efficient. After lactch on, do u empty all the milk out by expressing? Then your body will tot your bb need more milk, & thus more production of milk.The more time u empty your milk, the higher will be the supply of milk.

Hui & Snow,
I also ate alot of pizza but am ok ...so I dun think is the pizza fault. Hope to have such gathering again in near future. Ryan was enjoying himself very much cos after he back home, he slept for 3 hours.

RE : Enfagrow - for those who started the new enfagrow, does ur bb stool become more watery?

 

[mymelody_2008]

aqua, u all taking 1 day leave to be tai tai huh. so where u all going to pamper yourself . ITBC 1st. must see can take leave or not

zenn, won't leh still the same for the stool. is estelle stool more watery.

 

[aquarius_888]

mymelody, not sure yet leh that's why we considering hi tea. Was thinking GWP's hi tea buffet. What you all think?

Zenn, won't also for deszi. In fact a lot of times her stool a bit hard cos she dun drink enough water.

 

[snow666]

zhuzhu, my baby started brushing already. We started out with letting watch us brush, and then we bought her one and she started to mimic our brushing actions; thus no resistance

 

[zenn]

mymelody &amp; aqu, the new enfagrow which has 4x DHA? ya estelle poo more frequent n sometimes watery. she used to poo once a day but lately sometimes 2-3 days, of which 1 or 2 might b watery. hmmm...

 

[mymelody_2008]

aqua, wah so nice. u all can go do hair, mani &amp; pedi then high tea. tai tai lifestyle

zenn, ya it's the new 4x DHA. the one u ordered for me the last time.

[mk28]

Hi Alethea

Congrats on yr newborn... guess u can try taking more fish to help increase the milk supply. I took quite a lot of fish after delivery and I guess it helped to some extent as the milk supply is a lot (not that my boy is drinking very little).

Also I heard that getting stress up will also reduce milk supply hence must try to relax and not get stress up.

Hope that helps =)

 

[grace_hui]

so quiet...

alethea, karen,
think like what mk28 says, dun stress, milk supply goes by demand.... if u want to try latch on, definitely easier n saves alot of work...

alethea,
i saw there's a promotion for juzmusic for 18 mths n up. 50% off 1 trial lesson $35. near your home, maybe can bring S &amp; J there?

http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/450761/1668962.html?1224226277

 

[arielyn]

Thanks, MK28 and Hui!

Tho' my son latches on well, he dozes off after suckling for a while. So my BF session usually lasts 1-1.5 hours (both breasts) when he's sound asleep. But after half an hour or 1 hr, he will wake up crying and I've to latch on again. Very tiring, and I never know if he's full also, this constant latching on leaves me no time for the twins

Do you still pump after each BF session to make sure your breasts are emptied? And can I give FM for night feeds so as to sleep better?

 

[iceblue]

Hi Mummies,

Long time nv post liao.

Congrats to icy, alethea, karen! hope i did not miss out anyone.

 

[grace_hui]

alethea,
actually i total latch on. i also dunno if the baby is full or not, but i always heard demand=supply, so i constantly give when he wants. now abit regret, because i never pump. Not becos of supply, but becoz he's so used to latching, he rejects bottle n subsequently FM.

for your case, i actually would encourage you to pump out to make sure your breasts are empty, since u want to increase milk supply. N u can also store n give jo BM in bottle, also can pass to another person to help u feed so u can take a rest.

although i total breastfeed, but i encourage u to give FM for night feeds, so tt he would not be resistant to FM. dun follow my case, now weaning off jk is a total headache.

iceblue,
how r u, janson n family? so long never see u in here.

 

[grace_hui]

alethea,
forgot to add: u will also need to get up once and pump at night coz supply increase very fast in the wee hours, u might feel engorged if baby din suck.

 

[arielyn]

Thanks, Hui. I didn't pump on Fri night, from 1-7am cos' I took the advice of hubby, CL and mum, who urged me to rest (since I delivered BB, I only sleep an average of 4-5 hrs). When I woke up on Sat morning, my breasts were super engorged and I developed a fever. Thankfully, the fever has susided after seeing the doctor, and I've continued latching my boy. Guess 2 of my biggest challenges now are:

1) How to position myself and BB for night latching while lying down, so that my sleep could be minimally disrupted; and

2) After latching, even when I pump, the quantity is a miserable 50-70ml. How to use these for night feeds?

 

[grace_hui]

alethea,
i had fever developed when super engorged too! can understand how u feel.

in fact, i only managed to use lying down position when jk is much bigger. So far, all this while, i've been lying down n latch on during the nights...n bf while sleeping. haha..

u prob can try this if it works for u:

1)the biggest problem with lying down is baby's mouth too low n nipple too high. What i did: baby still lay down flat, but i re-position myself with the help of pillow n bolster. i lie my back using the longer side of my pillow, and use the bolster (place it underneath my pillow) so as to raise my body, so that i'm sleeping Resting my body weight on the pillow at roughly a 45 degree angle. I can therefore shift nipple to a lower position to reach baby's mouth while he lay on his side.

u can take a look at the picture in this link here: http://www.ameda.com/breastfeeding/started/lying_down.aspx

2) dun worry abt how much u can get after pumping. If u r latching on, most milk would have been drank by baby, if you feel too tired to pump, then dun need to force yourself to pump.

I pump when i cannot tahan the engorgement. N with latching, i think my super sensitive milk ducts also cannot produce much milk with pumping! i can only let-down when baby sucks.

i dun think we mummies pump out solely for feeding in bottle...usually pump out to empty your breasts so it can re-produce milk again. not enough for night feeds, never mind, use FM lor.

Hope you can be more relax n enjoy your 4 mths ML. At least now's the only time when u can spend so much time with your kids.

 

[mymelody_2008]

aletheat, hope that you are feeling better now. when bb was younger, I let bb lie on a pillow so that bb is just nice height to suckle when I lie down.

If you are really very tired, before you sleep you express out and then quickly express it the next morning you wakes up. don't be too stress, if really too tough for you during the nite, maybe you want to give FM and when the routine is more regular and you get used to the sleeping position, then you switch back to nite feed.
