sorry MIA for some time. Reason is suddenly 2nights ago got intense pain in tummy. Initially tot it's wind, rub some oil, eat ginger still like there. Then the pain got more and more intense, i tot it's diarrhoea. Called my gynae and was told to go down to her clinic. She did a ultrasound scan for me to check if my womb got any ruptures sign...thankfully nothing but when she pressed down on where my womb is currently, spot on the pain! Hubby did some research and discovered i'm suffering from "involution" ie severe pain of uterus contrations triggered by BF-ing. My lochia discharge has already petered off but then yday fresh discharge came. This involution thing is supposedly similar if not more intense than labour contractions! Haha...perhaps god knows hw badly i'd wanted to experience natural labour contractions and having missed out on that, giving me uterus shrinking contractions. Really damn painful ah, i cried each time i BF but i read gotta continue BF-ing to keep the hormones going. Will last a day or two..anyone have same experience?
Thanks to all mommies who offered advices and sharing your experiences on BF...thanks for all the encouraging words. Question now is do i really have to pump out after each feed? Aft i punped breast gone totally soft...then i scared if bb wakes up (now she doing 2hourly interval) my breast still soft and very little milk.
Re:bringing bb to HK
have made up our minds to still bring BB to HK when she's 2mth. Probably need to keep her indoors often. A fren who has jus moved to Hk also when bb is 6mths old told me she regretted it cos her hubby missed out on a lot of "first times" from bb eg 1st flip, 1st blah, 1st laugh, or maybe even 1st tooth. Babies grow up very fast at this stage. Dont think i wan to deprive hubby from that.

my baby wakes up 2hourly and sometimes 1.5hourly at nite. Really damn xiong to keep waking up and latching on. Think my CL also "kao beh kao bu" inside her heart. The new CL altho slightly better than my previous one, also hinted ask me to feed FM. Of cos she wans me to feed FM cos FM babies sleep longer and wont poo/pee so much so she doesnt have to keep waking up.

Not true when bb latch on will drink lesser. IN fact, BB's sucking is more powerful than your pump, they will drink more when latching! This is the deduction me and hubby made. I fed her EBM of 30ml on one of the nite feeds, within 1.5hour, she wakes up wailing for more, but when i latched her on, she'll sleep longer for 2 to 2.5 hours.
