Hi pinkyj (pinkyjac),
My daughter is exactly the same feed pattern as yours...I went to the PD thinking she's not having enough, but he explained that their intake is already stabilised. If she can sleep through the night, meaning from 8am to 6am(mine too! arent we blessed?!), that means she can dont need milk for 10 hours. And they wont starve cos they are covered with fats. So not to worry. My daughter wakes up at 6am, and she doesnt want to be fed immediately, so we give her some water cos she sleeps in the air con room. Then about an hour later, we feed her milk.

Hi pinkyj and The Chiangs,
So I am not alone! My gal has not been crying for milk for A long time. Its usually me who will force feed her when i feel that she is not drinking enough.
Btw, how long can their fats last time? Very worried that my gal will starve, tho my in-laws said that babies are very smart, they will definitely cry if they are hungry.

brought bb for 6in1 first jab today and strangely whole day no fever, but only started now, is that normal? doc said 37 degrees is already fever so we gave bb syrup to drink.
regarding bb's feeds, my gal has alwys drunk very little and her intervals are pretty long so not to worry, they do cry when they need to feed.
im confused, these few days, bb cries DURING feeds, throughout the day she's very restless, its liek shes in pain or something. heart hurts seeing her this way.

hey pinkyj, my boy these days like show less interest in his milk...during the day, am the one who will fed him when the time is due for his milk though he didn't cry or sometimes still sleeping. During the night, he can sleep for 5+ w/o milk. ie. last feed is 11+ or 12+, then he will only ek ek at 5+am then i will make his milk. Feed him these days very siong too, halfway thru' ie. 50ml or 100ml, he will struggle and want to stop and show no interest in continuing. He used to be able to finish 150ml but lately always left 20-25ml after 30-45mins of feeding. If he sleep drinking, he can finish his milk in 1 go w/o stopping but if he awake, he will tend to struggle. Sigh..dunno why leh... anyone facing similar situation?

Voice, as shared with you on MSN, mine also same. Last time he can drink 160-170 ml ... now we have problem even with 125 ml. But when I latch him he sucks very fast leh ... don't know what's the problem.
Hi Pinkyj,
Yeah, u are right! Baby must be wondering why we want to fatten them up tho we keep commenting that they look chubby. Hahaha!
Hi blueskye,
My gal is pretty similar to ur baby. When she latch on, max that she takes to complete the session is 10 min, sometimes she will only latch on for 3 min n can last for 3 hrs. If i bottle feed, i can take 20 min n she will only drink 50-70ml.
Hi Tiny Voice,
Your boy is better than my gal. When my gal is awake and we try to bottle feed, she will struggle n push away the bottle. When she is asleep, she will struggle less but still will not finish her milk.
Also, my gal tends to cry when she does not want to drink anymore. Is that normal?? I tot babies will only push away the bottles or unlatch from the breast? Nowadays, if she is not hungry, she will cry at the sight of the milk bottle. Haiz..

Hi Tiny/ Blue, Poohwei
My girl used to drink 125ml every 3-4 hours too (very 'zhun' one like alarm she will cry on the dot), nowadays she doesn't even seem interested when its past the time, and sometimes she doesn't even finish half her feed! Only take 20-30ml after I force her. Feeding her now is such a struggle lor... Then my heart pain to see all my hard-pumped milk go down the sink!!! Thought its colic and it used to be only in the evenings she would cry and struggle with feeds, but these 2 days its in the morning she dun wanna eat. Sometimes I try to put in the bottle she will smile at me and use her tongue to push the teat out. Sometimes she will cry the minute the teat touch her mouth. So i think it depends on her mood!
I surfed the net for info and it seems that our babies go thru low and high growth rates...so when they are not growing much, they will eat less. I think we just need to go with our babies and let them tell us when they're hungry. If they're hungry they will cry.

Hi Mummies...
Back to work today, feeling so refreshed & good! A bit rush this morning, haf to feed him and change him before sending him to infant care.. Think I have to wake up at 5:45am in order to reach office on-time..

That's good. Edison is also doing fine at the infant care, the teachers there r nice...
Edison still need to drink at 2am-3am at night, so I still hafta wake up once... But he goes back to sleep after drinking, so still not too bad..
Balancing between work & family life isnt easy, but we got to work hard to achieve it..

Hi dArmAe,
I am not sure about the item u are going to buy from Breastfeeding Mothers' support group.
However, just for your info, i just bought "AMEDA Lactaline Dual Breast Pump (electric or battery operated)" from Robinson. The retail price is S$350.00 for the Breastfeeding support group :
Non-member : S$335/-
Member : S$305/-
from robinson with Robinson card after 5% rebate : S$332.50
Which is slightly cheaper with Robinson card if you are non-member.

I was horrified to see my freezer door not closed tightly just now ... the ice packs in the freezer door already turned from ice rock to being soft. The bottles of EBM nearer to the outside were moist and when I tilted the bottle, can see some parts already thawed. How huh? Can still consume?
Aiyoh, my freezer really full of EBM now until the door can't close properly. Sometimes the freezer door gets "pushed out" when I close the chiller door below. Thinking whether to get a separate freezer just for EBM cos really no more space liao - btw there's no other stuff like frozen meat or what in the freezer now and yet it's still full. Sigh ...

Hi Shirley,
Yr son so cute hehe!
Hi Pillow,
Don't empty your breasts whatever you do!
The Baby Whisperer book I read recommended to slowly reduce the time we're pumping at each session. If you normally pump for 20 mins, then reduce to 15 mins for the first 3 days, then 10 mins the next 3 days, then 5 mins the next 3 days. This is to avoid getting engorgement and blocked ducts which can be very painful.

Phoebe, the problem is ... I don't know which ones have been thawed already. I just took one bottle to see leh. How??? These FBM are driving me crazy! Already stressed enough having to arrange them according to dates and packing enough to bring to my in-laws' place each week ... now this happens!
hi,
glad to know i'm not the only one when it comes to baby drinking less. I was still thinking how come he is feeding much lesser these days and still complain to hubby about it. We were quite worried initially. Now after hearing from you mummies, i feel more at ease. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Shirley, I lost count liao cos really so full until it made counting difficult. The last I counted was 60+ bags of 150ml FBM. Now maybe got 70+ in my freezer? My in-laws there think got about 20.
Angel, I pump and give my boy "fresh milk" whenever he's at home but when he's at my MIL's place, he has to be fed FBM mah. So whatever I pump when he's not at home, I will have to freeze lor.

Blue, 70++ bags ... i only store 16 packages at 150ml each, just in case i am sick. Moreover, my freezer also cannot keep much.
how many package you have to bring to your MIL's place each time?
Hi Emily, bcoz you go the hydrotherapy, you can ask them what if your baby doesn't like it (ie cry when put into the water). Because last week when i called up, they said if my son don like it, just pay S$10/- lor...
i think the float can get it Sg, bcoz the next day after i bought my son for the hydrotherapy, i heard a loud crying sound at my house downstairs and i looked down, i saw a couple using the same float (but in red instead of orange) on their baby. Maybe the swimming pool water is cold so the baby cry out loud...

Hi blueskye,
We r both in the same shoes! Freezer is packed with nothing but frozen ebm. I have even given away 30 packs..gonna give away more to make way for the fresher ones..
But come to think of it, since i am giving my gal fresh milk each day, dunno why i m freezing so many packets.
Btw, think it is more economical to get another fridge. I bought 1 extra fridge during my confinement n apparently can still use both fridge!
I have been latching my gal fully for the past 3 days. So for a 18 hour interval(2pump sessions), my expressed milk supply dropped from 900ml to 500mL. Can i safely say that my gal has drank at least 400mL of milk? Cos when she drinks, my body will produce more milk right?
