Re: no.1 being sticky
My elder (girl) is taking the news of No. 2 quite well. In fact, she is the one who said she anted a baby bro since last April. She even prayed abt it. Haha... her prayer was very powerful. She's even very excited in doing up the bro's nursery. Guess. She's older so not so sticky.
Oh yes... remember to bg ur no. 1 go shop for a gift for bb no. 2. And at the same time, go get something tt ur no.1 likes and wrap it up as a gift for no.1 from no.2
Re: Breastfeeding
MTBs... if u are keen to total BF ur child, remember to drink lots of fluids. Before u nurse, during u nurse and after u nurse. mummy has to be hyderated so can hv lots of milk.
Another trick is after you nurse ur bb (bb latch on), if you feel tt ur breast still hv milk, pump it out. it'll help you to create more supply.
Have lots of rest. Relax and dont be stress by the ppl ard u esp the 1st few days. BM Flow will usually comes in one the 5th to 7th day.
Oh yes... good to request to latch the bb at the delivery suite after you gave birth. So.... the bb will latch on easier later. After the nurse cleans the bb up, bb is the most awake. So latch on and let bb knows tt's where he/she gets e milk. If not, some may encounter latching prob later.
Above are what i did during my 1st preg. I breastfed my gal till 20 mths old. Press on those who wants to BF ur bb.
Oh yes...Try not to take too much ginger and vinegar coz it'll affect the milk supply.
Hope the abov pointers hlp those 1st time mummy....
Cheers
