Kelcqi, I think it's normal for the nipple to become long but it's only temporary. Usually latch baby on for 15 mins on each breast. If I feel very engorged (haven't pump for a long time - more than 4 hours) then I'll pump for about 40 mins (empty the breasts) then like 1-2 hours later, I'll latch baby on (that is if baby not hungry yet). If I just pump 1-3 hours back, then I'll just latch baby. If I am engorged and he's super hungry already, then I'll pump for a while and then latch him cos if the flow too much, he'll be angry also. I only latch him at night when he's colicky. Other times, he is bottle fed.
Don't dare to go yet cos I know will cost alot of money mah. See how it goes end of the month lo. Hehe.. If can don't spend the money better. Maybe you wait till you are comfortable then start your massage ba. Have you lost much weight already?
Try to get someone to help you with the print else very easily messed it up one cos sometimes the baby will move then hard to control their movements.
felval, the Avent bottle warmer think can use for most bottles. What brand of bottles you using? If the bottle is tall, also can use one, just leave the lid open lo.
I think your hubby is not doing enough lo. But of cos you are feeling unhappy cos of the hormones. At this time, you will feel very emotional one. Cos sometimes I also feel stressed up and will scold my hubby (but he do alot of things liao like feeding baby at night) then after that will feel bad about it cos he does alot as compared to his friend and other guys. Sometimes I get very cranky cos my down there still feel sore at times. I think you shld talk to your hubby and tell him that you are also tired and ask him to contribute alittle since this baby belongs to both of you, if you cannot handle it alone, you need help lo. Also ask him why recently he kept having to work late lo, tell him you need his presence. I think I will be super upset if my hubby last min tell me he has to work late also. He recently changed job and has to work on Saturdays, so today he's out. Sian! But really fortunate to stay near my mum (just a storey above me)
Does your parents stay near you? Who is going to take care of your boy when you go back work?
I think babies will easily be cranky one lo especially when they are so young. My boy also always cranky, sometimes I can go mad and very frustrated at him so nowadays I put him at my mum's place and will go up every other hour and come home and express my milk. I think this period is the toughest lo. That's why ML is 12 weeks cos normally after 3 months shld be alot better liao. I'm just hoping for this period to pass also. Thinking of the labour pain and this period, I don't know if got the courage to have a 2nd one. Sigh..
I believe polyclinic definitely much cheaper ba but my hubby wants to go back KKH lo. mine is 6 in 1.
