Vine, but if you give water when he cries for mik, would this fill up the small space in his tummy and hence affect his intake of FM/BM and affect his need for nutrient?
Sorry for asking so much, I actually oredi kinda forget all about the initial feedings of a newborn liao since my DD is already so big now.

re: lochia
for my 1st delivery via c-sec, yes the lochia is not much, but last for abt 3 weeks.. like wat cheryl experienced, abit abit kind, but can last for quite a long period..
cheryl,
huh.. adrian asked u dun go for massage ? i m seeing him on tue nite, will ask him why cant massage..
berry,
erh.. my mum oso feed my son water in btwn his milk time if he cries for milk & it is not his milk time yet.. dun think it will affect his intake of FM/BM.. in fact, my son's appetite for milk is quite good, hence we increase the milk volume for him quite rapidly until we have "overfed" him unknowingly till we were advised by the pd.. all the while, he was given water intake regularly.. in fact, as my son gets older, his water intake also increased but it does not affect his intake of milk.. i think the point here is try not to feed water too close to bb's milk time and it shd not affect his intake of milk..

re: appropriate milk volume for bb
i fed my son based on his demand (ie. he kept sucking the empty bottle or cried after he has just finished his milk), hence not knowing that i have overfed him..
during one visit to pd, she has advised me a formula on calculating the appropriate milk volume for bb and one of the determining factor is the bb weight..
thus, different bbs may consume different milk volume although they are at the same age..

kitsune,
My mum believes in eating fish will increase the milk supply, which to a certain extend I think it's true. Also drink plenty of water at least 2L per day to increase the milk supply. I latch on my bb every other hour for the first three days before my milk came in.
Goodbabyb
You can start the massage as soon as the first day you return home for natuaral birth. For C-section birth, at least 2 weeks before they can start the massage.
Xiaoyun
Milk still producing till today and using plenty of cabbage to try to minimise the engorgement. The sad thing is can see my breast begining to sag. I think when I no longer produce any more milk, breast will sag even more... so sad... think will go back to my gynae and see what he can do about it.
Happy,
I haven't transfer the money to you yet. When do you want me to do so and the account number. Let me know and I will do so. Sorry didn't manage to log in for the past few days.
Feeding
It is true that we can overfeed the baby. I brought my bb for check up yesterday and the gynae told me that i am overfeeding the baby 90ml-105ml every 3 hours. Told me to reduce it to 60ml/3hrs. Cos like happy, i feed him even after he has finished his 60ml and was crying. My PD told me it over feeding the bb can damage the stomach. So now, make sure I only give him 60ml and let him have the pacifier if he still cries after feeding.

Hi Berry
Yea know your concern over bb nutrients. In fact, lately i read an article mentioning that although bb is feed enough with BF n FM, we also need to feed them with water. Why is that so? It is because due to hot weather, they will tend to sweat (although bb hardly sweat)thus they perspire and cos dehydration.
Normally, when bb cry we thought that they are hungry and by feeding them with more BF n FM (which contains proteins and sugar etc) thus they will become more "heaty" or having fever.
Symptoms to look for water dehydration for bb will be sometimes when bb does not sleep well, abit cranky or their urine become lesser.
If we adults need to drink water why not our little love ones. Anyway, we are not expecting them to drink alot but to drink abit to "cool" down their internal system and let them get use to drinking water. Also drinking water won't cos them any harm.
Normally, after FM I will ensure my bb drink abit of plain to "wash" his mouth so that the mouth will be clean. hehe.
Just my 2 cents thoughts.

moi_dar,
another method I heard to slowly decrease your supply is not to empty your breast during pumping (when you trying to reduce engorgement).
have you tried that?
about the sagging part, not sure if massage and firming cream will help? hopefully is temporarily only - just like the flabby tummy.
vine,
your method for adjusting bb's biological clock seems good. I definitely going to try that. But, I not comfortable staying too long in the living room at my PIL place. cos they got a dog and I'm afraid will cause allergy to bb.
regarding the fm and water part, I think I will do what you did too. At least it seems can minimize the pontential conflict with oldies and shouldn't have any harm to the bb if do it in moderation.
thanks for your advise.

congrats to those mummies who had just popped! I am still waiting for my turn. Probably I will b the last one in this thread to pop. hehe....
moi_dar
like what xiao yun said, you can decrease your supply by either not empty your breast during each pumping session or stretch the gap of each pumping session. however, you need to do it slowly 'cos by doing it too fast, you will get engorgement very easily. at the same time, you can reduce your fluid intake, too.
vine
i couldn't find the method that you use to let your bb wake up only once every night. can post again, please?
re: milk intake
how do you gauge how much to give bb to drink through bottle feeding?

Re: Pig trotters
I oso thot it's meant for us to eat leh. I don't recall giving it to others during my previous confinement. i ate it instead. find the black vinegar gravy tasty
Xiaoyun
I've been feeding my bb EBM every now and then. cos wanna introduce bottle feeding to bb early so that he won't resist it later on when i'm not around to latch him on. so far he's ok with avent teat. he's still trying to get use to pigeon teat. last time i also did the same to my girl. she's ok, no nipple confusion.

my EDD is 28 feb... sometime gynae even said 3 march. so, i thought i might be the last one who pop. haha..
re: pig trotters
me don't take pig trotters but only the vinegar, ginger cooked with some mock stuff.
i also thought that that's for us to consume and not for giving away?
i heard that it's supposed to take 2nd wk after deliver.

for me, i think the pain stopped after 1 week or so. I had my first bath on day 9.
i also didn't buy any FM. was thinking if really need, then ask hubby to buy.
the strep b test result not immediate. gynae only told me the result during my next visit. i think if result is ok, you'll know it at next visit bah.

hi ladies...
Dor...Thanks! how's your confinement so far?
today at work and just realised i have quite a bit of 'mess' to clear before gg on leave. *oops* hope my colleague who is taking over my duties dun curse me everyday after i go on leave on Wed.
Esther,
Dr Lee said mine was 'trying to engage' during my last visit 10 days ago. i think bb should have engaged by now? i think my bb is somewhat like me, 'slow motion', likes to move slowly bit by bit...
Ladies, what happens if we get a bout of virginal fungal infection on the day we r popping? can still have natural delivery? i had an attack few weeks ago, nowadays feel itch on and off...what if i get another attack on the THE DAY?

Vine/happymum2be, thanks for replying and sharing w me on drinking water.
Yar now I do recall that I read before that FM bbs do need some additional water intake to process the higher content of salt and minerals compared to BM which is already mainly water.
Stephie, I think the best way to treat heat rash if not v serious (if serious may need to ask PD for some lotion to apply?) is to air out that rashy part n wipedown w damp/clean towel several times daily to keep v clean n dry.
Jeannie, strep B results are not immediate, need to send to lab for test. My gynea says will only call me if I kenna, if no call means good news. So far no call from her luckily.
Itchiness- if its only on the outer surface and not inside, then could be irritated skin? Just wash more, keep clean and dry (maybe use panty liner or wat?)?
Jac, actually your hosp fees will vary according to many factors including which gynea u pick, how many bedded, how long u n yr bb stay, how much of the hosp supplies u use and so on. So far the most accurate gauge u can get is to call yr gynea office n check w the nurses, they shd know best n shd be able to give u an idea how much u will be spending. thats wat I did too.

jeannie, I am also seeing Dr Adrian tomorrow night, intend to ask him for strep B test heee, so i am going off from work earlier so that i can bath before going to the clinic. The nurse told me it will take 5 to 7 days for results to be out. I hope I am not too late, cos my EDD is on 28th, and he told me may be early from 15th to 20th.
When si your EDD?
I was wondering if i can get a few days MC before EDD to rest....
Mums, is this a norm? will gynae give you a few days MC to rest at home before EDD just in case?

no. not sticking with the PD.. for jabs will go polyclinic... if baby sick will go to the PD my fren recommended at TMC, better.

moi_dar, i also have the same problem - swollen lymph nodes at armpits and can't sleep cos breasts too heavy and swollen. spend so many hours a day expressing milk. thinking of getting the medicine too but worried that it will stop my supply completely as i'm keen to continue bf. did u get medicine from yr gynae or what? my massage lady say if continue like this i'll get fever.
goodbbb, i started on the 4th day. the lady comes in the morning to bind n she say best is to continue till nx morn for full effect.i started my own binding immed after birth, but of cos not as tight n effective as hers la.
kitsune, how come u have pain? only had pain last nite & it's my own fault cos i went shopping in heels for 4 hours and my womb dropped down. my ML juz pushed it back already. i think u shud get another ML to push back yr womb now b4 it gets worse.
re: cold cabbage
didn't work for me at all. warn towel works better. helps to soften a bit. but then still need to pump. now quite scary, 10mins pump 150ml already.
re: pig trotter
mil nv prepare leh... i also dunno how to eat anyway. is it impt?
bluegin, ok will try again...
dor, great to hear that! good sign of milk supply.
andrea, i think b4 delivery it's quite common tt we do big business more.
re: blood flow
mine still got. today found one dark clump. quite scary.
re: pd
the pd my gynae recommended charges $50 for first consultation & the first check-up is to check for jaundice. think is too ex so juz wanna bring my bb to polyclinic. is this the usual rate for pte pds? any recommendations?
congrats eliaw!
re: milk supply
yeah i also heard fish increases milk supply and i've been having it every meal! gosh. i think i should stop eating fish. i've been trying to space the expressing of milk by more hours, hoping to reduce the milk supply. but it's so painful. anyone as any other tips of decreasing the milk supply?
re: feeding amount
i went according to the instructions on a FM tin, so only feeding my son 50ml EBM every 2 hours. Wonder issit too little cos he's hungry so fast. And when latching on, how long do u all feed? mine maybe only 15mins. and i wonder if it's too short? cos it's quite uncomfortable and my bb gets fidgety so quite hard to feed for long.
tute, i leaked milk since 4th mth. but i guess diff for most ppl. some nv leak at all till delivery too.
re: medisave
can use both, but must show original marriage cert.
re: bathing
ML say can bathe everyday. plan to bathe/wash my hair every 2 days. the weather so hot! cannot take it.

tute, its not true that must leak milk, I dont think its any indication of anything. for many mummies, proper milk comes in only on the 2nd or 3rd day (before that is just colostrum).
Jess, can u pump out some or supplement with FM so that yr hb can take over some of the night feeds? Then u can get the rest u need to carry on. Must take care of yr self and yr own need to rest also .
Jeannie, the yellow drops u are seeing is your precious colostrum.
Yar lor, I also quite tempted to take some photos after I pop after seeing all the lovely n heartwarming pics u guys took. BTW u really dun look swollen leh, I was still thinking that u managed to 'bao2 yang3' beri nicely even tho heavily pregnant.
June, $50 is actually quite okay for first consult depending on location. MY PD usually charges $70-$90 for first consult.
