My goodness, all the babies so cute..
Angel,
Very weird. I think I experience the same thing. Did the 2 hourly pump thingy and now supply is haphazard. This morning pumped out 190ml with just a 3 hr break from previous pump session. But no doubt, that exercise has increased my supply too. Btw, the Nov 17th gathering :
Suggested venues: Paragon, Plaza Sing, Vivocity
1) Angel - Anywhere central.
2) Bena - Anywhere central too.
Unice,
I have encountered baby latching for 2 hrs plus before. It was very tiring and frustrating for me. I think he was going through a growth spurt then and had to drink more..
I used to start off pumping just 10-20ml as I latch baby exclusively and my supply was low then. Then as my supply build up over the next few weeks, now baby at 8 weeks old, I could pump more between latching sessions(abt 30-60ml). If I replace baby latching with a pump session now, I could get around 100-190ml after a 2-4 hour break. I guess regardless of whether you can pump more or less, as long as baby is satisfied and growing well, it should be alright.
Phoebe,
Sat working full day? Else we can always meet in the afternoon and you can join. Btw, I drink 1 small cup of DOM and I breastfeed. Normally I drink right after a feed/pump so that the body can have some time to digest it before the next nursing or pumping session.
Kudos to all mummies who went back/are going back to work. Really not easy juggling family and work. And doubly tough for mummies who need to travel excessively for work. Sure miss baby like crazy!

Emily, I share the same thoughts as you. Family comes first. LAst time, i always stay late at work and help my staff cover shift. Now i dun think i would want to do that becos the first thing in my mind when i start work is i must finish work fast and rush home to see my son.
Plus due to the industry i am working in. I need to get back in shape fast thus need to exercise more, i wonder where gt the time lor..

Bena,
Don't worry abt the injections. My girl went for her vacine on 2nd month (I'm taking the 5-in-1). When the needle went in, she was still smiling. Then after one second, think she realised pain, then she frowned and let out one "eh" cry. And that was it! Hhaha...I told the PD I was expecting much worse lor. He said its like that one. Looks like its not that painful?
BubuMama,
How often do you pump or latch on? The trick to increase BM is to do it more frequently coz demand=supply. The more we pump or latch on, the more our body will produce. I started pumping every 2-hourly for 3 days, and my supply went up
Star07,
Yes you can take medication from the doc to stop breastmilk from producing. Or alternatively if you want to do it the natural way, when you feel your breasts are full, express or pump abit till you feel comfortable, but don't empty your breasts. Our body will not produce so much coz no demand, then eventually will stop.

Good morning everyone,
Hope u've a great day ahead
Hi Emily,
Imagine a few days b4 i return to work i already start to feel very sad as i can't bear to leave my son though he'll be taken care of by my mum in the day. I even thought of quitting & be a SAHM but it'll be super siong if i do tat. So no choice still need to work hard so tat i can provide the best for him. I'll wake up at 5am everyday to prepare stuffs, feed my boy, burp & pat him to sleep then i go bath/pump milk. When i'm in office i'll call my mum a few times just to make sure he's doing well & always look at my watch hoping 6pm faster come
I can understand how everyone feels since we've been taking care of our babies from day 1 till now then need to drag ourselves back to work. It's really not easy but slowly we'll get used to the routine & everything will goes smoothly as usual. Those still on maternity leave try to enjoy this precious time & bonding with ur bb. Those who start work liao work hard & look forward to the end of the day & cheong back to see our little ones

Good morning!
On drining DOM, think should be ok since it's only a very small quantity in a day. As for Martell and other alcohol ... so long as it is cooked, it's alright cos the alcohol content will evaporate with cooking.
On stopping breastmilk supply ... what I did when I wanted to wean off my elder one was ... you increase your hours of pumping ... for example, if you normally pump every 4 hours, try to to drag your pump to maybe every 6 hours, then increase to 8 hours, and eventually once or twice a day, and slowly no need to pump. No need medication lah I guess ... unless you want faster response lor.

Hi Irene
Long time no see your post already. How you tahan wake up at 5am?? Just wondering, can you share what is your daily routine is like in more detail? Is it very tiring? Does your mum stay in your house or do you have to send your baby to her place?

Hi Irene! Wah, 5am is really tough leh. I don't think I will be able to do it. I will be going back work soon too
My main worry is that my hours are not always regular - sometimes I gotto start work at 7am or work late. Nowadays I compensate by sleeping early at about 10am but won't be able to do that once I start work. Sian.
Hi Pillow and Star, I am also planning for 2 weeks to stop my milk supply. For me, my supply has never been alot in the first place so should be relatively easy to stop. I have already started to drop one evening feed but unfortunately my son doesn't really like the bottle. He only drinks 2oz before rejecting it
I am trying out the NUK Latex teats these 2 days.
Is it really true that our body knows to produce milk only at specific times of the day?? Do you think I can train my body to only produce milk in the evenings and night cos' I can't express at work. Was really hoping to continue to latch baby even after work.

Hi Angel,
Ya lor long time no post. I also cannot tahan lei but no choice cos i need to go out of my house by 7.15am, send my boy over to my parents house at Queenstown then my hubby will send me to work. Though i only start work at 9am lah but we try to avoid ERP charges b4 8am heehee... we r kiasu lah but can save $ mah
My daily routine as follows:
5am- wash up, brush teeth, pack stuffs
5.30am - feed my boy, change diaper, burp then pat him to sleep
6am-6.30am - pump milk
6.30am - go bath & prepare
7am - pack all the ebm into the bag
Then drink essence of chicken b4 i leave the house
Back in office i can only go to the nursing room in Suntec & pump during lunch time then pump again at night when i return home. But my supply not as much as u lah
only enuf for the day.
Overall though it's very tiring but everything's worth it once i see my bb at night
I believe this routine will continue like tat unless i no longer hv any BM to feed my boy then won't be tat tiring liao but I hope to continue to BF him as long as i can until no more supply.

Hi hi. I would like to sell my Avent Uno pump as I won't be expressing when I returned to work. But the WTS threads cannot accept postings from Mummies who have not been a member for at least one year
Can I trouble one of you to help me post up the sale? All corresponding emails and contacts will be going to me directly and I will monitor the thread. Please please

hi to mummies who have gone back to work..
me also feel sad when thinking of going back work..when I had my elder one, I remember crying for 1st few days. SHe's taken care for by my sister and shd be alright but I just felt so sad leaving her then and so will tell my sister to wait till I reach my mum's place and I'll bath her, but could not do so often cos they said it's late (7pm) and baby shd bath earlier..now, for this baby, I'll be asking my mil to help look after- another stress factor cos we've never stay together for such long period b4 and will bound to have differences in the way we want baby to be taken care of..so I'm really stress out...
btw, brought nynke for check up today, at 6 wks 4 days old, she's 4.6kg, was 3.1kg at birth. boy, I really think she's a sumo..putting on so fast!

Hi Peapod,
Yes our bodies will produce milk only at certain times. So you definetely can continue to latch your baby like in the AM before going to work, and when you come back in the evening. And our baby will also learn that certain feeds is bottle, and certain feeds is mummy's breast! Just slowly stop pumping at the times when you don't want it to produce, and continue pumping or latching at the times when you want to.
Irene,
Thanks for sharing your routine
Very siong man...then what time you sleep at night? How do you transport your EBM to your mum's place? Is your baby on TBF?

Hi <font color="0000ff">Irene</font>..
Despite yr hectic schedule, you still find time to express milk for ur son. I admire ur determination.
I think most mummies will feel sad few days b4 they start work. I hate this feeling too. I am still considering whether to quit my job. But as you mentioned, everything is $$$ if we want to give the best to our baby. We need to start saving for their future. In fact, my HB & myself has opened a joint account to save $$$ every month for our son's future education's need. This is the most costly.
You r lucky cos yr mum can help to take care of ur baby. At least, you have lesser worry that those with infant care, babysitter OR maid.

Hi amy,
My girl also becoming sumo! She was 3.2kg at birth, 4.7kg at 4 weeks, and 5.7kg at 8 weeks. I'm so scared to weigh her now.
Anyone experiencing pain in the wrist? I suspect my girl getting too heavy that's why I got pains in the wrist now.

Hi <font color="0000ff">Angel</font>..
Pain in the wrist is very common for mothers. Its the results of continuous carrying of baby. The weight of our baby causes the strain on the wrist.
You can see a doctor to get some gel. I am using an Orthogel, prescribed by my gynae, its good.

Hi Emily,
My mum got no choice "bo bian" cos she's also helping my bro to take care of his 2 sons.
I can understand how u feel as u will "bu fan xin" if u leave ur son with infant or nanny. Unless u really quit ur job to be a SAHM. See how it goes when u return to work then u decide lor. Dun think too much & enjoy ur bonding with ur son while u still on ML. Take care
Hi Angel,
Everyone say tat also & ask if i style my boy's hair but i didn't lei. He's born with lots & thick hair like me & my hubby heehee...

Hi Angel, thanks, I will start stopping the day feeds first and see how my nite supply will be affected.
Hi irene, your boy's features are very nice.. looks like Aaron Kwok last time heehee.
Hi Wiselyn, thanks very much, you are a dear! I have sent you the details in a PM
I am also thinking of opening an POSB account for baby soon. Is anyone also getting insurance for baby? My prudential insurance agent already proposing some policies for baby - savings cum insurance or investment cum insurance. I am also thinking of getting a rider for childhood illnesses. But quite siong, about $250 per month.

Hi <font color="0000ff">Peapod</font>..
I am planning to buy Enhanced Incomeshield Plus Rider for my son. I just need an insurance policy to cover all medical expenses. I don't intend to buy those savings cum insurance plan. Its rather costly.
The easiest & cheapest way is to buy Medishield for ur baby. Only $36/year deductible from your Medisave.
I advise all mummies to start a joint account & start saving monthly with ur HB for ur future baby's expenses.

Hi <font color="0000ff">Irene</font>..
I will enjoy the remaining of my ML while it lasts.
It seems that you only sleep 4 hours a day (sleep at 12am, wake up at 5am, assuming u wake up 1hr for midnight feed). You r a superwoman! But I am concerned that the shortage of sleep over prolonged period of time can affect one's health. So, try to sleep early if u can.

Hi <font color="0000ff">Angel</font>..
Yeah, pls see a doctor asap. Dun endure the pain, as it may gets worse if not treated. I applied the Orthogel 3x a day. On top of that, I put on a Salonpas at night (double the power!). The pain has stopped now, thank God!
I agree that quitting means we will lost our financial independence. We can no longer spoil our baby with new clothes & toys as we wish. Every single cent counts and we have to spend wisely. So, its really a big sacrifice.

As for savings acct, my sis did a research. Seems like MayBank gives the highest interest rate. SO will go to maybank to open acct.

Hi <font color="0000ff">Phoebe</font>..
Talking abt getting back in shape.. I just renewed my membership with Amore Fitness for a year last December. One month after that, I discovered that I am pregnant and put my membership on hold.
Now, I doubt I can find time to go exercise.

Hi Phoebe,
All of us try to "soh" his head everytime after feed but it has been like tat since he came back from TMC. Is there any other ways beside buying a yao lan? We dun really like it lor.

Peapod, Pillow,
To avoid breasts being engorged and painful, its recommended to slowly cut down the time spent expressing. Cannot just suddenly stop totally. Eg. Day 1-3 pump for 15 mins, Day 4-6 pump 10 mins, Day 7-9 pump 5 mins, Day 10-12 pump 1 min. Eventually body will stop production...will take abt 2 weeks.
Phoebe,
Thanks

Irene, when you gave birth to him, is his right side already flat? some bb are born like tat..Some elders who are more superstituous would blame it on some things that we do when we are preggy. OR did u use forceps?

Hi Em, I am also on IncomeShield so will talk to my Income agent about adding the rider. Thanks! But purely savings account very little interest leh, especially with the higher inflation rate nowadays.
My baby's head is also abit flatter on the right side. Tried to turn him every he sleeps but he will turn himself back after a little while. The ony way is the let him sleep on his tummy, then his head won't turn.
I have started buying new clothes to prepare for work. I no longer hold any illusions about fitting into my old clothes liao
Looks like will be wearing my maternity pants for a while.

Hi Phoebe,
His head is sui sui when i gave birth to him. I delivered him via c-sect with epi so i dun think tats the problem. I think i just need to continue to "soh" his head everyday hopes it gets better soon.
