150ml, sometimes he finish all , sometimes he waste..the amt is thru trial and error
i would love not to waste, but if we give lesser and to top up after tat, the waiting makes him cranky and he refuses the top up
recently i met a mum who deliver in march..she said her supply is dipping as well..
if others factors remain unchanged, i guess it is just Mother Nature
I tried drinking 2 litres of water within 6 hrs ..but STIll low supply.
hehe, if i have time , i will probably drink a lot of papaya fish soup
and if less fussy, i will drink my oatmeal..and eat fenugreek
i din lor..so mine is due to a variety of factors..i guess i din try hard enough

hang in there! be strong!!!
i was in same situation as u a few weeks ago but my bb was waking up because he wanted to suck his pacifier!!
i have a friend whose bb (born in march as well) can sleep from 10pm to 8am kind!!!! damn envious lor! then i realised his bb has really good sleep habits, so decided to help my bb develop good sleep habits as well. but my friend is the opposite of me, he wishes his bb will wake up in between to feed, but the bb just doesnt! hahah! PD told him it's ok as long as bb's getting enough during the day and gaining wt (his bb is a chubby baby btw!).
read from books that babies have sleep cycles and will wake up every 1-2 hours or so, just like adults. we adults will usually wake up few times a night (maybe to fluff the pillow, pull the blanket, hug the bolster etc etc.) but we usually will not remember because we have learnt the ability to return to sleep ourselves.
for bbs that are "helped" to sleep eg. rocking, feeding, giving pacifier, these bbs don't know how to sleep on their own and hence when they wake up at night after 1 sleep cycle, they will cry out and expect the same help like they've always received.
i followed some of the tips from the gentle no-cry sleep solution book and gradually tried to help my bb break his bad sleep habits. from needing to be carried + pacifier ---> putting down in cot, patting with pacifier ----> to now only patting in cot (sometimes meltdown then give pacifier), my bb slowly learnt how to sleep independently. he used to wake up every 1.5-2 hours....to wake up every 3-4 hours....for the past few days, he's able to sleep from about 9pm to 5am....i hope it's because the sleep training is working and he's learnt how to self-soothe...and not just because he is baby "heng" haha!
the "training" process is slow and requires a lot of patience....but it's worth it in my opinion!

I didn't have time to go through all those postings but just a few quick ones that caught my attention.

Ok, I don't mean to brag but I'm such a pro now Having nursed for continuous 5 years, stopped for a year and start nursing again. Do not be dishearten if your supply dip. For me, I just make an extra effort to squeeze in another session. It's just me, I'm just paranoid that my bb has to drink nothing but bm. But then again, having such an attitude is very tiring for the mother. I woke up every 3 hourly to pump in the middle of the night (dd1's time, not enough milk so need to pump diligently, ds2's time, too much milk, needs to express to relieve).
If you feel that your supply is taking a dip and you're simply too tired to continue, it's OK to supplement with formula. For me, I'll rather be the one to suffer. Go with your heart and you'll feel better.

babypink,
my bb is 5.5 month, only 6.5kg and drinks 150ml 3-4 hourly leh hehehee
my supply dipped yesterday b'cos AUNTIE CAME!!! aarrgghh. so now my fertility rate is officially high, must be extra careful this time, no more oops- pregnancy. today i pump got 2oz lesser as well. no amount of food i take in helps so before i become fat, i better control and let nature take its course. told my mom to feed bb as normal, but smaller feeds like 120ml every 3 hours while i try to finish my work early and rush home fast to latch her on. hahaha.
actually now i think Tricia is ready for solids already. one time i was eating melted cheese off my bread, i gave a teeny-weenie bit to her and she's sooo ready to gulp them all. she's been watching me eat with interest for a long time oredi. my mom say i siao hold back for so long for what but i dun care lah. i'm her mommy what! hahaaa

Reena,
I heard about that. But like you, rather than wake up and give nutrition-less plain water, i rather give BM. I have the same attitude as you, die die oso must give BM. I suffer extra never mind, we don't breastfeed forever. I think got one more March mommy who's a die-hard breastfeeder as well. Can't remember who. kekekee.
babypink,
i think it's normal for them to drink lesser as they grow up right. due to playing more. once they take solids, even worse lor keke. but i dun plan to stop pumping. will go ahead as time permits.

today, i heard something that made me very angry.
last wed, i went off to pump milk for 15 mins. i haven't pumped for 6 hours. which means my breasts were very full. i was late for 15 mins for a sharing session. den my boss made it an issue. she asked my supervisor to talk to me and tell me not to be late in the future. she saw me that day after pumping milk and she even smiled to me and said, "doing motherly duty ah?" now she turned around and criticized me behind my back. someone mentioned to her that i probably had to do it then cos my time was very packed that whole day. then she did not accept the explanation. very not understanding boss! angry! with this type of boss, no wonder more n more mummies r becoming SAHM

poor you. it must be v. stressful for FTWM to pump during work hours...kudos to all that persevere!
actually these days i only manage about 3 hours sleep not because of baby but cos i have insomnia after i wake up at night for feeding really sucks...so many times i lay there awake from one feeding to the next *haiz*
skin problems
bb tommy used to have nice baby skin but now his cheeks and legs are rough! the PD just brushed it off saying it's mild and to just put moisturiser...he said it could be eczema but he said it casually so i dun know if it is or not...it is not itchy and his cheeks are a bit bumpy and a little red but his legs just look like dry skin...it has improved with moisturizer but i wonder can i do more for him??

boon,
you poor thing. for my case, it takes a second baby for us to come into senses that we should belt both up. but how? imagine putting 2 infant car seats in the mpv. dunno how liao. in the end, only belt up my terror two wherelse for Tricia, i carry her in my BabyBjorn. we used to ferry a lot of pple in our mpv but now since we installed two infant car seat, some assholes are saying we're selfish purposely finding reasons not to "tompang" them. i heck care lah. those pple got pay my car loan? my road tax? no rite? so shuddup and siam lah. not happy go take taxi or mrt.
as for work pressure, no doubt, very stressful trying to finish a tight deadline and pumping at the same time. sometimes i didnt pump for 6 solid hours so i have to make it up at nights. my colleagues never say anything too but i feel like they're not speaking it loud yet. anyway i feel very happy to know that my boss oso have a 6-mth old girl so he kinda understand why i have to pump. anyway if my supply is dropping i find weekend full latching helps to restore the amount.

Let me share my bfg experiences and I hope mummies here will be motivated because I've BTDT, so can you.
dd1
My supply was miserable, can only get 3 - 4oz of ebm. I pump diligently every 3 hourly just to make sure I have enough for her. Even during weekends, I pump so I can freeze as stash. As I was doing a regional job, I had to travel. Lucky thing was, after I returned from maternity leave, there's a change in region and I'm in charge of Msia. I have to visit Msia every other month for exhibitions, press launches, roadshows and seminars. To cut cost, we travel by coach. I had to pump and dump as I can't possibly bring my ebm back (I can if I want to but that means I'll have to bring a really big luggage to store my cooler bag and ice bricks). During this period, dd took the frozen stash.
ds2
Supply was abundant and I need to pump to relieve engorgement. I try not to pump so much in the office but still can't tahan, needs to pump 4x in office. Fortunately, we have a proper nursing room in the office and I'm able to bring my laptop there to do my work while expressing. However, the country I'm handling has changed again and I'm in charge of Singapore. I do need to go out for site visits/meetings at least twice a week and for every trip, I need to lug my pump, milk bottle and cooler bag. In addition, my boss is not too understanding (he's married but no kids). I get phone calls on Sat mornings from my boss and he'll expect me to go down on site to make sure issues are resolved. Many-a-times, if I can't get help (DH was also travelling then), I have to lug my kids with me to "work". Often, these issues can be resolved with a few phone calls but my boss wants me to go down personally to solve problems.
dd3
I'm glad I'm a sahm now and there's no need to worry about pumping.

couple quarrel
I had my fair share of quarrels with my hubb since bb was born. a couple of times I was so angry with him tt I want to walk out on him. the stress n tiredness of taking care of nb ate into both of us. at the same time I can be frus with my hubby coz as a man, he doesn't hv the maternal instinct unlike us women n naturally not v detailed too. all these adds up... now my hubb helps out more after he realised how much I hv done for the bb n him n of coz brainwashing helps to play a role.
aly, yr boss let down women's name. as a woman, its v insensitive of her to pass such comments.

Jerejoy,
Hope that you are more relaxed now. Jus take it easy ok? Think that its all worth it at the end of the day for your boy.
On the other hand, you might wanna observe and see if he is not comfy. My boy was cranky day n nite for a week about one n half months ago. Then he turn out to be he was coming down wif a flu n cough. Hope your boy will be ok though.
NB vs 5mths plus,
really miss the small cuddling bb on my hand when he is a NB.... But then again, my boy is equally cute now too!
Jus to share wif you guys...

Like Clover says, man needs brainwash. My hubby is one good example of papa's n mama's boy. Dunno how to help up at all initially. I find that sa jiao works better than head on confrontation.
Saluate to FTWM!!! Its really not easy esp you are breastfeeding as well. Yup! Its abc who die die wanna breastfeed her boy to 2 yrs old.
Oh, btw, let's all send our best wishes to abc cos her son is hospitalised. Not sure why but she returned my msg jus now n tell me tat her son is in hospital.
Andrea WILL BE FINE OK, abc!

Evenflo Exersaucer
The models selling @ Taka are Mega Farmyard @ $199 (which will be out in today's newspaper ad) and Triple Fun @ $349.
I'm currently talking to Evenflo to organise a spree but as this shipment is coming directly from USA, I'm not sure how long it'll take. Probably 3 - 4 weeks on order submission. And not forgetting, the MOQ given to me is 30 sets! Don't know if I can achieve this qty but I hope can. Else, I'll just buy from Taka since the fair is until 24 Aug. I still have 1 week to consolidate orders.
Discount structure is based on Suggested Retail Price. I do not know how much is the SRP in Singapore. Take for eg the Farmyard, $199 is the discounted price, not SRP. I'm not sure how much savings we'll have if we get it from Evenflo directly. But do check out the posting at OVERSEAS SPREE for updates. I'll periodically update here if time permits.

Adeline,
I think you younger, more prettier and more "manja" that's why hubby will give in to you easily bah! Not like me, old hag! Hahaha. But then again, my hubby is one of the best in the world too. He has gone through 5 miscarriages prior and has become the best daddy in the world. He's very supportive and very attentive to my girls. Maybe b'cos he really cannot bear to see me hurting so much and yet trying to put up a brave front for him. This is my light at the end of the tunnel lor.
Reena,
thanks for sharing your TBF experience with us. i'm so glad i don't have to travel but i did have to pump and throw once due to breast abscess. however i notice that our MS will differ according to baby yeah. i oso find that i have more MS for second baby compared to first. how i wish i can become SAHM for the third baby like you. then can learn to bake bread as well hahaa.
abc,
speedy recovery wishes for your Andrae!!!
yutong,
awww babies do grow very fast yeah.
redtea,
your IL is really super insensitive. it's already very rude to barge into pple's house like that, they even barge into your bedroom, haizz. i hate that to happen to me too. did u talk to ur hubby about it? if u dowan them to go into your room, u have to put bb outside. that's why i spread mattress outside my room or move my bb's bassinet outside the room, so they won't kaypoh into my messy room bah!

redtea: me same. in ur shoes.. only diff, we stay together. so MIL tend to invite *relatives* over to stay during wkends.. always kenna 1day notice.
recently, MIL's elder sis quarrel with her daughter. so hb's aunt will be staying with us until god knows when...
then uncle coming ltr today.. cause he n his wife gg through divorce soon. so come over to *su ku*...
faintz..
melissa: sometimes cannot de.. if baby is always outside, i wun have chance to feed him in peace. *my case*
+ my rm have aircon. living room dun. everytime after mil carry him, she'll return a super sticky n cranky boy to me...
Baby tension
hb told me.. ever since my boy is born, we've been quarrelling every other day..
either with my MIL, or with him.
MIL regarding baby caring methods
Hb regarding coaxing baby - whose turn..
I dun have the luxury of asking hb to wake up to cuddle ryan. simple reason given to me is that he has to work the next day and i don't.
this reason is the only reason stopping me frm kicking him off the bed when ryan cries.
i have immed response to ryan's cries as i can't afford to wake my hb up.
happy hb = happy wife..
abc: hope andrae recovers soon and can go home. take care n dun stress urself.
