chersam & san,
haiz.. we have the same prob man! then does ur girls' teeth yellowish and got stain? i BTH when i see the stain and try all means to get rid of it.. and san, same here, zq usually scream the whole house down when we insist to scrub off the stain.. what toothpaste u all using? im still using the First teeth toothpaste, hubby said shd change to Darlie since zq got stubborn stain, but how?! he duno how to rinse off leh...
junnie,
how to teach them to rinse mouth wi water huh? by demo and they will get the hang of it? i wana teach zq but i worry he drinks the water leh..
aria,
stay positive gal! i was like u, so demoralised that time when zq just refused to latch on.. well, dun get stress over this, just latch on her more often and keep trying but dun get frustrated if she dun.. just tell urself be it from bottle or breasts, she's drinking ur BM.. that's what matter most right..
yes, i pump exclusively for zq.. initially i feel the same way as u.. but subsequently i tried to treat this whole issue wi an open mind, as long as he's drinking my BM then it's ok.. just that we have to express diligently and a good breastpump is a MUST! so we will not kena blocked duct that often.. i know the latching on feeling is good, but we can always shower them love thru other aspects.. so cheer up gal!
actually i seldom latch on YA nowadays also, coz of his erratic drinking recently and his prolong milk strike.. my Bs cant tahan so long coz his drinking interval can be as long as 6 hours, and night time 12 hours! i find that i can better manage my time by expressing and bottle feed him.. im happy and i believe he also happy.. haa
