Wa, thankful, your SS so good, envious. Really ah, must pump after latch on. But everytime, I do that, very pathetic so I didn't bother.

Initially I pump 30mins after latch on. I'm using Medela dual electric pump. So even pump on the latch on breast. Supply was only 100ml+. Then begin to increase to 200ml+ and now 300ml+.
Must make sure to keep reminding yourself to pump diigently every 3hrly
I take lots of warm drinks like longan black dates drink (2big thermos flask) + holicks + milos + packet milk. I heard drinking milos and milk will increase your supply. So I did test on myself.
Fenugreek
Actually you can buy these seeds from Indian spice shops for a few dollars. My mum bought from Sheng Siong for $0.50+ per packet. Have expiry also. Heard some mummies in this forum boiled these seeds and make milk or drinks or just drink plainly. Increase their supply. I have not tried yet. Will try after I go back to work. See how is my supply then.

I'm using Medela PIS too. I usually latch on in the day and pump only in the morning when I wake up cos engorged. Taking fenugreek too, but keep forgetting to take it nowadays. Hot drinks seldom nowadays cos CL went back liao. Very lazy to make drinks for myself so mostly drink water.
bluewind, ya i bathe with warm water and the packets of herbs.
kitsune, the amt i pump out after latch on is also pathetic. like 10ml? so i also can't be bothered to pump.
xiaoyun/eliaw, i see. so most of the time u feed ebm. i scared if i dun latch on frequent enough, ss will drop. but i guess both of you have aleady establish ur ss.
taka bb sale:
went last night but din see the cotton ball 3 for $5.
very tempted to buy the medela PIS. but ss so low. scared i am wasting $. dunno how long i can breastfeed. moreover, seems too bulky to carry to work. mummies using medela PIS do you find it bulky too?

thankful, can't remember someone said cannot take milk.. wahaha.. but i also drink milk..
btw, i also tested, past few days skip breakfast, ss dropped.. so oats w milk works well too.. yesterday took again, ss picked up slightly.. i already bought quite a lot of lansinoh bags.. i bought 10 boxes!
kitsune, lots of water help also.. cos BM is 85% water..
btw, do u all realise u pee lesser (due to BM)?

i used glass bottles to store in EBM in freezer. it works well.
jeannie
is it milk rash? my bb on and off got milk rash. PD told us to use cool boiled water to clean his face after every feed. now, it becomes lesser and lesser.
i will be alone with my bb after confinement. at night will take care of a toddler and a baby.
you mean after feed your bb doesn't sleep?

i think either BM or FM bah. i also don't know. i just follow instruction to clean the face diligently. hehe...
in terms of handling bb at 2nd time, ya, it's more like i know what to expect. but, every bb is different. so, i still find it challenging.
think your bb wanna to be carried to zzz. we told cl not to carry the bb too often in case the bb got too used to it. so, my cl will talk and sing song to bb and pat him to sleep if knows that he wants to be carried to sleep though he's full already. and the talking and singing song are done in the cot.

jeannie, i take abt half an hr for both sides each time i pump. If i pump straight after i latch on, only about 10 - 20ml. If i pump when i miss a feed (due to feeding ebm or fm), can get 80 - 100ml.
i feel that my ss not getting better. coz one breast not functioning.
as for the rashes, i think it is because we breastfeed, some milk tend to be left on the face, so must wipe off with cotton ball wet with warm water.
my girl used to sleep after feeding. Now she is sometimes wide awake and will cry after feed. i will carry and pat her to sleep. i know it's a bad habit, but that's the only way to coax her to sleep.

genice,
My bb also same... sometimes after feed, don't want to sleep, will make noise or cry... have to carry her, put in her playpen will make noise again... but when I let her sleep on our bed, then no problem... so sometimes no choice, gotta squeeze her in with us...
eliaw,
Really envy your ss!

wow... your ss is really good!
the milk rash my boy has is like small white dots on the face. mayb you can clean it after every feed and see if there's any improvement? last time my gal got the milk rash for quite some time. then end up, it became fungus. but after applying the oilment given by PD, it recovered very fast.
