Hi all,
Thk i must be one of the minority here who has started to think when to stop BF even as my bb is only 2 weeks old.
Not able to give direct cos too painful liao. So going for the pumping option around. With CL around now, at least got time to pump. But once she's gone, i will prob also stop this BF thing.
Difficult to cope with a demanding bb/ engorgment (pumping)/ older kiddo's demands with no help from anyone else and a HB that's always tired.
Rather give up then sink into depression.

Hi Jolene,
I'm Hokkein. We kindof decide what name we want in Mandarin first - plus the word to use - and then pronounce it in Hokkien - and that's how we ended up with the dialect name.
Hi bluskye,
Was just wondering - did you get your CL via a agency or through personal contacts?

hi Bena,
hubby has decided on UOB jnr savers. he say they offer free insurance coverage (but depending on amt deposited)
btw, hv u tried to latch ur bb outside? hw did u manage.. i cudnt do it well and discreetly cos i ned to see her mouth leh.. otherwise sore nipples again. i tried yest.. almost wrestled wif her... very xiong.. and she kept crying
hi serene,
its nv easy to TBF, i noe hw u feel abt nipple sore and pain. i had to go see LC 3x inorder to correct latching problem. even now, once awhile, my gal does not latch well.. still can feel some pain.
like wat hung suggested, mayb u seek help fm LC then decd from there.. jia you!!
hi pillow,
2-3 hrly seems to be the norm for most bb.. actually i'm oso uncertain if my bb frequent feeder.. smtimes, it can be 1 hr apart for the feeding. but i oso suspect she wants to latch for comfot... she can nibble and dozed off to slumberland. at home still managable.. brought her out yest.. her 'demand' for feed is 1 hr apart oso.. diff for me to latch her in the public cos i'm not very gd at it oso.. in then, i cut short my trip and went home.. haiz
hi atinarin,
i'm not sure hw much 2 weeks old consume. i hv been on total latch on.. but cos i hv to go back to work, introduce EBM to my gal few days ago (1 mth old). gave her 50ml.. since my yield fm pumping not so much. but then she cannot finish it.. left abt slightly more than 5 ml.
some of mummies hv babies consuming much more than 50 ml at tis age. i guess diff bb, diff intake level

wah pillow..ur boy steady..surely big and strong at the rate he's drinking! Your bm sure taste yummy to him...hee hee! Most impt your baby grows well, doesn't matter how much he is fed. Mine fed on FM range from 90-120mil, 4hrly. These 2 days, he awskes earlier than his usual timing and bottles not yet sterilised and he wailed very loud as if whole day haven't taste milik! Think neighbours must be thinking we're toturing him. hee hee! He took very long to finish his milk, 30-45mins, can be quite tiring to do feeding. Still way to go man!
Hello all,
Yah - BF is really very difficult... be it expressing it out or direct!!
Was wondering.. if you gals express is out, does your nipple feel "sng sng" after the expression is done?
My 2 weeks old boy drinks bet 60 - 90ml (2-3 hrs feed).
Can i ask you gals about the injection thingy? Any of you went to Poly or the KK package? Was wondering if you know whats the difference between those 2? I tried calling KK to ask liao but still dont really understand what they tring to say...
Basically, Poly must go 1,3,4,5,6 mths.
KK must go 2,4,6 mths
Which one better har? Txs.

due to the frequency of his feeds, make me wanna consider gvg FM instead so that hopefully he can last longer.... instead of the current 2hourly feed... imagine, out of the 2 hours, he takes 30mins to feed, plus the time to change diapers,etc. prob due to his intake, he poos and wees a lot. almost every feed , every poo.
Ade, i record his intake in a notebook. so far, in the day, he takes 110ml every 2 hours. rarely can make it to 2.5 hr. at nite, his pattern is 12, 3 and 5am.

bb4339: The binding was itchy for me and many here too i think. That's cos we are perspiring away inside. DOnt worry if you cant take it, do what most of us did, leave on for a few hours then remove. You have to remove in the morning before she comes for the next session anyway. What time;s your session? I wont be having mine tomorrow, continuing on Wednesday, that's my last session.

Hi Pillow, maybe your boy is having a growth spurt that's why he's drinking so much Have you tried giving me more EBM & see if he can last longer? If he's really going through a growth spurt, it'll pass after a couple of days or a week. Babies usually go through growth spurts at wk3, wk6, 3rd month & 6th month, but it varies from babies to babies.
I've not been wearing my wedding band cos i had water retention in my 2nd tri of pregnancy. Haven't tried wearing it again. =P

morning i can get up to 220ml, peak was ard 250ml
noon i get ard 150ml
nite also ard 150 to 180ml
i do not take a hot drink b4 i express. i do get find leaking milk on my t shirts in the morning. do i need to take nursing tea or fenugreek to increase milk supply? even though milk seems to b enough for Charlene these days but if they stay constant, i would hv to take nursing tea or fenugreek soon? or just by taking a hot drink can increase milk supply?
do advise. thanks

Dramaqueen,
I latch baby abt 8-10 times a day, and often pump in between feeds. This means I pump about 5-6 times a day to keep my breasts as empty as possible. I could only express about 20ml-70ml per pump session. If you wish to increase milk supply, try to keep your breasts as empty as possible by pumping more frequently, and latching baby.

Bena, I think everyone else is too exhausted to complain. hahahaha =P
Hehe yah.. i think everyone too tired liao. Nowadays baby experiencing growth spurts so it takes a bit more effort to put her to sleep at night. I will be cradling her on my left hand, right hand holding EBM, my eyes puffy, my hair frazzled and my head will be nodding left and right as i doze off to sleep a million times.. all this while my baby's eyes are opened WIDE and probably wondering why is her mom looking like a monster at 3.30am.

(that's what my baby did at 4am this morning when i heard her pooped) =P
I'm showing off my princess... morning!
