sheryl,
with my 1st girl, i could actually train her to stick to 3-hourly feeding schedule and she actually feeds regularly on certain time, like 6am, 9am, 12noon, 3pm, 6pm and so on. with this 2nd girl, she would sometimes ask for feed after 2 hours, sometimes both breasts, sometimes only 1 breast and other days, she could go 4 hours without feeding. no use waking her up for feed b'cos she won't wake up. however, night time is blissful, she could go at least 4 hours and now she's going on average of 5 hours of sleep. so that's why my breast is a little confused over her needs. haha.
really wish i could help you with blocked duct but the only way is to let baby drain it out. maybe you can pump out a bit first then let your baby latch it all out to clear it. last time i had blocked duct that lead to breast abscess. that's a step worse than mastitis!
dreymin,
wow you bb is huge leh! 5.4kg at 5 weeks? i just came back from polycinic, Tricia is only 4.7kg at 7 weeks. she just got her hep B jab.
abc,
i took up the polyclinic 5-in-1 jab instead of 6-in-1 as scheduled b'cos it's a lot cheaper. nevermind i have to visit the poly regularly. it cost me about 280+ and all hep B jabs can be claimed with Medisave! really thankful for the nurse for explaining this to me. for 6-in-1, poly charges 328.
adeline K,
your kim how tall and heavy huh? Kim is oso a September baby rite? my Hannah is short for her age but she's 10kg already. so she's still pretty proportionate. just took her free MMR jab. she yelled! haha.
