It's sad that there's so little support for nursing mums in most sg schools. I pump in a room in our school library that cant be locked from inside. Luckily it's teachers' use only, so wont have any kids popping in accidentally.

nvm, more appeal maybe they'll relent

but if we bring in so many, will incur GST?
 
lynzi/other teacher mommies
quite sad to hear about your prob in school... i tot schools should have somewhere private which nursing teachers could use the room for pumping. I know of one primary school in clementi which has a nursing room. they did up a room for milking teachers. you might want to bring that up to MOE, after all it's welfare to teachers right? it might not be practical coz not every year some teacher would be pumping in school. but at least there is a corner which milking teachers could use. If not, u could suggest the school to convert the room to emergency/first aid room cum nursing room lor...
 
ahcapp,

for me I feed as bb demand loh ... there is a stage where my bb bcome cranky also.

1. During 8 weeks, my bb gal drinking ~140ml - 150ml
2. For me if I want my bb sleep thru e night, then I will feed er at 11plus 12.
3. my bb also ... most of the time she will ask for milk every 3 hrs. at time she can stretch till 4-5hrs.

i found this article and would like to share with mummies here.

I believe the issue of facing a child out in a carrier should depend on more than just good head control. When facing out, a baby has no way to shield themselves from all the sights and sounds, and no place to lean their head if they get tired. When facing in, the child can lean toward the parent, close their eyes and/or sleep if they get overstimulated. Facing out is not an ergonomically correct position for either the child or the parent. Babies bodies are designed to "fit" perfectly against the parents' in the "hug hold." Carrying a child while facing out also seems much heavier for the parent since the weight of the child is out from the parents body.
 
hi missylan, constance

thought we should not use too hot water to warm EBM as it will "kill" the nutrients? I was doing that for my elder one till close to 1yr then I learnt we are not suppose to use hot water to warm EBM...must use like not too hot water to warm EBM...think ard 40degree? correct me if i am wrong

constance - my elder one this wk is better....dun cry during lessons...only when i drop him off and pick him up...starting to take nap liao...else he like zombie by the time i fetch him...but now having cough...think got it from some students
 
naf
yeah you r rite. i heard abt the 40 degree thing too. but sometimes bb cry till so fierce, bobian gotta use this method. Other times we r able to predict his feeding times so can prepare his feed slowly. but not all the time.

my 2 elder kids also sick. i think must b the weather too.
 
naf & constance, if bb cries too fiercely, i'll latch her first when dh prepares the feed. will soothe her 4 a while...
 
deer deer, r u refering to this? hmm wait u r refering to the one w big big flowers? i think i saw it in magazine, nope didnt buy that...i boght this yesterday. dont think it look nice on her. somemore just wearing for a few minutes to take pics, it already leave a mark on her forehead, hubby asked me not to let her wear anymore, there goes my $12. i think i still prefer to let her wear those japan crochet hat, nicer...

Yesterday, my daddy asked "I dun understand, how come you still have BM ah? So much meh?" (note: STILL have...so he must have thought it's some reserve or something, how come never deplete one! But it's not say a lot lorh. Just nice nia...)
