michelle,
i aga know if it's hunger if it's around the feeding timing, or when i pick her up, she looks like she's searching for a nipple or bottle, then is hunger. if pick up, she goes quiet, then i assume she juz wanna know that there's someone there, or she's looking for mummy.

From Windy: "who dare go against the old wife for fear that it'll put the husband in a difficult position".
Step 1. Get husband to be on our side first, convince him by love, logic and evidence.
Step 2. Have husband to talk to MIL.
From Windy: "these old folks still cannot understand why i insist on giving BM"
It's interesting to note that there are 2 camps of old folks here... one that are diehard BM, and the other that are diehard formula.
For those that are diehard formula, try the evidence approach to why BM is better than formula. Research after research after research, from .gov to .edu has showned that BM is still the best, get your hubby to read these, and then if necessary, have him show MIL the evidence.

5. http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/milk/infant-formula.html
Moreover, in view that the logic from MIL that many Chinese confinement practices is supposed to benefit mom and child (show us the evidence pls), surely when there are so many evidence pointing to why BM is better for mum and child, will MIL be contradictory in their beliefs?
It's time we move from stone age to an age of science and progress, ie. instead of blindly following Chinese practices, do the necessary due diligence first and if there is a good reason behind it, it's fine, otherwise, why risk our health?

TG,
you're really informative and hardworking in doing the due diligence. Thumbs up!!
eRnmum,
you are so persistence in latching bb on! i can never do it, my girl is always so impatience, tried a few times yet she's always so frustrated. End up i always give her EBM. She drinks really fast, can finish 100ml within 10 mins, max 15 mins. I can't even pump so fast!!

hi sagittaurius,
how come bb cry so long? like tat will have alot of gas in tummy right?
my baby's 10 days old. it was only yesterday and today that we see her being more awake during the day. before tat, from birth, she was always sound asleep. i guess baby has learnt to adjust her day and night timing. how she adjusted, i guess is from the hustling n bustling of daytime, and then at nite we try to give her 1 big feed, dim room lights and she'll sleep. last night she slept 4-5hours without waking up for her 2 hrly feed. i think slowly we will progress from here bah.
hope i've been of help

Hi,
Anyone doing buffet catering for baby full month?
Any catering recommendations? It seems that most of them only have Chinese New Year menu.

Blackbatz, I had no CL and had to do everything myself, from shower bb to feeding to changing to wahing bottles. My mom cooks for me. Unless my hb around then got help n can get some rest. Then my bb wakeful n hardly sleep., at most 12h/day. Got MIL who knows how to do nothing till she see I going to breakdown. Caught a chill too
shannonbaby,

re: black armpit
i also have that ever since pregnancy, will this be going off after a while? Hopefully it won't stay leh, so ugly!
violetlce,
altough my MIL also suggest shaving off all her hair, my hubby is very protective of the hairs! so we're not gg to shave everything off.

My confinement end liao...yahoo!!!
shannonbaby,
I had the full month buffet last sunday, also ordered from Neogarden. Their food not bad..
Luvv/Violetlce,
Me and hubby dun want to shave off my baby's hair bcos she got a lot hair, so sayang...but my MIL insist to shave "botak". Dun want to quarrel with her, so no choice. After shaving, baby cried for whole day..I think because of itchness and sensitive skin, a lot of red rashes on her head...very sad and I keep saying "sorry" to my baby. For next pregnancy, I "SURE" not allow other ppl to touch my baby's hair.

yday i called Mrs Wong and she advised me to pump every 3hourly for 10mins each breast on top of latching on for one week, then go see her on next Mon to evaluate. Hopefully ss will go up. This morning pump got 80ml from both breasts combined after feeding Rylee one breast. But by afternoon, ss go down liao and breasts gone all soft, but still gotta pump, only managed to get 25-40ml. So
So tiring, cos i think rylee going thru "growth spurts". Read in books that this happened usually between 2-3 weeks, so her interval now is 1hour. Imagine, i feed her at 8am for around 35mins, took another 15-20mins to burp and keep her up straight to try and prevent vomitting, then gotta pump for total 20mins , hurriedly eat breakfast then she'd be crying for next feed liao...si beh xiong!!
Do u gals know how long it takes approx for breasts to "replenish" the supply ah? Jus wondering.
Also worried over her health of vomitting milk at almost every other feed she has. Scared she got the "gastro reflux" problem ie cannot hold food in her tiny stomach. My mom kept saying she can feel her forehead cool-cool one indicating lots of wind. Hope it's jus wind, but i fed her the Woodward Gripe Water and also RidWind, still like dat.

Goosh, I am feeling so sad. Today, went for baby's 1st checkup. He has lost weight, about 10% of this birth weight. Doc said I must take note and make sure he eats more. The last last solution will be formula. I felt soo down, like I am so lousy being a mum like that.
Went to Mt A and looked for Sister Kang for a consultation to address the latching on problem. She is very good. Corrected me on my latch on issue. But I think I still got a long way to go. =( Just now, he won't latch on properly as he just cried and cried. So I have to cup feed him.
Can I ask u gals some questions...
1)I noticed that if I were to wake for my bb to wake up and feed him, he will be too cranky by the time I latch him on properly. Do u wake feed on demand or schedule a fix time to wake your baby up for feeding?
2) Am I the only one here who has latch on problem? I feel very demoralised man. =( When I hear/ see other babies latch on so easily, I wonder what's wrong with my baby.
3) My bb is 1 week old today. Any idea how much milk should he be taking by now?
