I'm not taking any supplements, only drank a lot of papaya fish soup during confinement. I try to drink lots of water, esp during n after expressing, super thirsty. My milk supply also reducing liao. I just expressed before logging on n I only managed to express ard 150ml per breast. That means I only have enough for 2 feeds. If like this, it means I must express every 4hrs, else not enough supply for bb (but I'm feeling too tired to express these days). All this while, I've supplement bb wz FM, cos when bb wants milk, she cried so loud as if screaming her lungs out, we give her FM which is faster to prepare. Anyway, must hv enough rest, eat well n try to be stress free. Those days when I din eat or sleep well, my supply is miserable. I ever only managed barely 80ml per breast when I was so busy n tired.
My gal is 40days old, she has used up 1 pkt of Pampers newborn, 3 pkts of Drypers S, half pkt of Pampers newbaby. We r trying out different brands of diapers. Just bought Pureen S cos on offer at Giant. My gal poos a lot, n we r changing her diapers almost every 2-3hrs. So need to source for most economical ones.
steffi, I started to use pacifier. My gal was crying almost every 2hrs, seems to be asking for milk. But her tummy so big & round, so I scared I overfeed her. So instead of giving her milk, I give her water, then if still cannot work, I use the pacifier to calm her down.
My gal got running/stuffy nose. I think my #1 may have spread it to her. Can't give her any medicine, worried if she can recover by herself, hope she strong enough to "fight" the virus herself.
