XY, yup winter melon sweet used to cook dessert. I had a left over pack but throw away cos no time and no mood to cook such things for long time. Expire liao. 
Haha, RaeAnne's favourite word is O-pen or Pen or Peh Peh (when she gets frustrated). Luckily I haven't taught her 'take' yet. If not, another headache. Hee.
Blueginger, I'm going for my Oscar this Sat too. Also a bit worried, plus hubby can only make it on Sat morning, so I won't get my results until Monday. Sigh.

hihi mommies
Finally gt time to log in. Been struggling wirh latching on for the past one week. Dunno is my hand too short to carry bb or what, both of us always at very uncomfy positions. So i decided to do exclusive pumping from today, alrdy gave him bottle for the morning feeds today. I m happier and less stress, bb also can slp longer after being fuller. Previously i was almost latching every hr for 40min. Super tiring. But nt sure if exclusive pumping will affect supply if i pump every 3hrs?
Trying to tbf this time cuz i failed previously plus the price for infant milk powder is ex! Hope to save some money.
Abc
Can include 2 btls of hand sanitizer for me?
Btw, how long can bm stay in fridge and freezer?

I am currently using avent electronic pump. I still hv nt start storing bm in freezer yet. Now all still in the fridge. when bb nds his feed, i just straight away tk out frm the fridge and put in warmer. No issue for this way of warming right?
If thaw frm freezer, whats the procedure?

thaw from freezer
if immed thaw then u let it run under water to melt it first. if not i usu bring it down to the fridge the night b4 for the next day supplier. sometimes if i forget my maid will soak the milkbag in the water to melt it before heating up. I am using the Avent IQ warmer...

tong,
mix barley into milk cos she doesn't want barley last time. that time i didn't add winter melon sweet as she's only 6-7 months.
crystal,
when you feel less stressed next time, try latching on if possible.
exclusive pumping is very tiring, and lots of bottle to wash too. if feeding time coincides with pumping time, very hard to jaga one.
all the best for your bf!!!

crystal, agree with xy, i'm very tired when i do pumping. if i got #2, i also will try the best to have exclusive lathing. my son was very distracted with the surroundings so cant latch on properly. but midnight when he cries he can latch, cuz no distraction and with eyes closed. so funny loh
tongtong,
u did exclusive pumping? all along i tot u latch on, oni pump while @ work. i do exclusive pumping 4 Cayenne cos she dun latch. always latch a while then doze off.. so in my opinion, bf is very tiring. i wonder hw does it feel when can total latch on? alot of pple say it is so easy. i reali hope i can do so when my #2 comes.
crystal,
jia you ya!

i been doing latching n only pup at work. Personalli i feel latchign is easier as dun hv to worry 3hr up esp when going out. Once 3hr or so will jus latch him. Pump nd to sterilise this n that and sometimes lazy to pump... hahaha...
Crystal
it is normal to latch him every 1 hr or 40 min. I remember i sit on the sofa the whole day and rent a lot of dvd n has his mouth stuck to my breast almost the whole day. it is worse at night/evening from 530pm till 10pm. Also latchign at nigth is eaier if he co-slp with u. Maybe what u can do is to pump but stilllatch when possible so he still rmb how to latch. When he is older at 12 weeks i can tell u things r much much easier. U dun hv to to latch him, his mouth will come to u. Now... i jus lie there and he search my breast himself.
If u faces problem, don't hesitate to get help. Go back to sister kang. She is very nice. I have her mobile number too. Many times i call her up to "chat" and tell her my difficulties.
Jia you!

Esther, I exclusive pumping in the first 3 months, cuz very hard to latch shaun on. The first 3 months not easy to latch. But if I still remember correctly, I started to latch him midnight at 3rd month, and gradually dunno which month, he started to accept latching on=fall asleep for naptime.. that time very easy for me cuz I can just latch and no need to pump! So only pump in office. then slowly he doent wana latch liao ( cuz we were separated for 1 to 2 weeks). So I did exclusive pumping too when he is about 10 or 11 mths old. A lot of changes along the way, but it’s fine since I’m used to pumping liao ma.
esther,
yes. latch is much easier. no need to worry about the pumping, no need to wash and sterilise bottle. when bb is hungry, no need to worry about the time needed to warm up milk. i feel so much bo eng if i don't latch and feed ebm.
for hospital stay, i brought my front opening clothes as was told that it's needed for breastfeeding. who knows when the time comes, i heck care and just take off the hospital gown, no image at all. in the end never use the front opening clothes at hospital. easier loh. you get a new set of gown everyday to wear, no need to bring so many clothes to hospital too.

Hi clover

just pm you my contacts.
esther,
when she's a new born, i latch about 20-30 mins. i always kacau her when she fall asleep. rub her cheeks, never let her have a sweet dream while latching.
about 1 hr or 1.5 hr later then got to latch again. *ouch* nipple very sore loh..
but this phase pass very fast, before i go back to work at 3 months, chop chop 15 mins can finish latching liao.

It seems so far away to me now but I'm reminded of the hard work when I read these posts....the initial probs with latching, the aching arms, aching necks, bad positioning, waking up at night to latch/pump.
Crystal, Esther, JIA YOU! I think it's a lot of hard work but it's WORTH WHILE to bond with our little ones and provide them lifelong immunity.
If I have #2, dunno whether I can rem how to do it or not.
