Felicia,
My workplace super family-unfriendly de. Simi facilities ma bo. I am still wondering if I need to express in the toilet. -.o" There is a microwave in teh pantry, but not noce to use it to sterlise my pumps lah. So I think the pill will be the easiest.
Veinz,
6 months!!?? I was hoping tp squeeze back into my pre-preggy workclothes. Looks like no hope liao. Another reason to shop. ;p I still have 5kgs to go. I am hoping to go back exervising next week. Next week is my 6th week after delivery. Must wait 3 months?
Cythnia,
My bb was super cranky last night and I barely have 4 hours of interrupted sleep. She too can suckle for > 1 hour then cry for milk 1 hr later. This morning, I really feel like giving up breastfeeding. Haha. I am still trying my best. I hope to tahan until I go back to work. You tried your best liao.
Re: Sleeping at breast + frequent feeding
When I have that trouble, I will feed my bb EBM. She dun have problem of nipple confusion, so I can easily switch her back to latching. It is easier and lesser effort to feed via bottle, so she tend to drink more and demand feeding at longer interval. Bbs who are pre-matured or have jaundice tend to sleep at the breast. If really the case, no point forcing them to latch on. Very taxing on the mummies. Hehe.

Cynthia,
Jia you, jia you. I had that tot (of throwing my bb out of the window) a week ago too. I was so tired and was breastfeeding her. She will suckle until she fall asleep. The moment I unlatch her to burp her, she will wake up and start getting cranky. This went on for over 1+ hr and I felt so fustrated. I was so worried over that tot that I have. I tot I am gg into depression. Didnt dare to tell hb until later the next day. Hb very worried too and kept telling me to wake him up if I cannot handle. ;p Now I ok liao. Will still get fustrated when I am very tired and she's cranky + keep demanding feeds. But no more such horrible tots. Jia you. Can your hb help? At least muct give you morale support.

Same like u, I try to nap at noon. But I just fell asleep for 15mins, she will start crying again. I try to put her in sarong (w/o shaking her. I am desperate. I am a believer of all things now and will try everything) but she lie in there for 1min and start screaming again.
If I just let her cry, she will cry till no more voice and like about to lose her breath.
sigh........
If only the moment they are born, they can talk.
My back really aching from all the carrying around.

That day I so cant handle my bb who cried from 1.30am till 5+am. I was so stress and tired. Later in the noon, I suddenly broke down as I felt so lonely. I really thought I was on the verge of depression.
My HB got so scared that I will really go ga-ga. Heng after talking it out makes me feel better lo.

Cactus,
My gynae say if BF, 99% will not get pregnant unless we stop. Originally, I plan for #2 next year, look like need to have a change due to BF.
Do u intend to BF?
JP,
I thot BM poo is yellowish?
BF,
Do we have to sterilise the pump? I usually sterilise once and use hot water to wash before each use. My company don have much facility.

Connie, yup. I plan to BF but plan to build up milk supply up to 6 months' supply then stop by pumping excessively beyond bb's demand, including night pumps. I'm working part time in the afternoons after bb is born after my ML ends.. so should be able to wake up every 2 or 3 hourly at night to feed bb directly and express too. My boss has given me green light to express in office too, so that's a done deal. It's true that we won't get pregnant if we BF but only if we BF exclusively. This means, BF-ing or expressing at least once every 4 hourly or feeding bb upon demend with no supplementation of fluids of FM. I plan to rest for 3 months after delivery, then try for #2 immediately.. so have to work hard to build up milk supply within 3 months, then from 4th month onwards, taper off the supply but still maintain enough milk for bb up to 6 months.
Christina, so sad to hear about your dd. My CL also Indo Chinese, but so far so good lor, only that she does not know how to cook french toast and only speaks hokkien which I speak only 50% of it. But good think is hb is good in hokkien and if I need to tell her anything, just show her, demo or point with some duck chicken language.
Cynthia, dun think of throwing your darling out ok. Babies cant talk we also have to ren. My gal if cannot sleep in night, will pretend to look for milk by opening mouth face left and right coz she wants pple to carry. In the end, CL brings her to me, I let her suckle to sleep then put her back in her cot.
Linda, my gal sleeps 11.30pm every night. But she will still wake up a while before sleep again.
Zuen, it depends on individual on the sliming down part. I am sure we will still have flabs tummy and will have to work hard on those rolls.
JP, yesterday threw lots of '$$' away leh. My gal urine a lot, so threw diaper away, then halfway feeding, she poo again. Threw again. After that, wake up, poo while sleeping, aiyo, like never stop like that, sianz. AT least yours is cheap brand, my hb and mil insist on pampers, although not I buy but I hardpain about it.

Linda,
Mine is the worst i tink. Mine will cry from 3am to 9am, need to carry around.
I dunno how much milk my boy is drinking cos i latch most of the time. He used to drink 90ml FM at hosp so we still try to stick to the same amt. However yest PD says his weight gain is a bit high so me tinking to reduce his milk amt. however dun give him milk he also will be cranky.. so tough
Veniz,
at least yrs suckle will sleep. mine suckle liao pretend to sleep then once put down on cot will wake up and cry. Then he will search for nipple, then put him to breast again he will suck until sleep but once put back to cot he will wake up again.. this cycle will repeat again n again until he is so tired he will concuss to sleep. by then we adults ored half dead.
Mine also will poo, then cry to change. change then poo again. so our pampers also used up v fast. me also use pampers.

Zu En,
I also have some fats can't reduce despite BF. I dun tink i can squeeze back to pre-pregnancy clothes cos my hips size has expand. So likely have to spend some money to revamp wardrobe when ML is going to end. I haven't have the time to go through my wardrobe yet cos previously i have keep away some work clothes for my pregnancy clothes, now have to do the reverse.

Cactus,
Mean u will convert to part time after 3 months of maternity? Where do u pump in the office? I guess I will need to do it in the toilet. Haven't told my boss abt the pumping issue, sure not happy lor. Do you buy an additional fridge to store the BM?
Verinz,
Heard pamper is good in absorbert. Send my hubby to buy but he kept asking wat brand. end up bought mammy poko. Show him the packing, then he say did see on the shelf. Mammy poko is softer than pamper. Don know good or not.

Hi mummies,
Can understand the "torture" of bf.. (suckle then sleep, etc)
I know it's gd, but it's too tiring, I "gave up" in the sense that I do not latch and I'll only pump as and well I like - not limited to schedule (used to pump every 3 hrs for 15mins for both sides). I do not have much milk. 2 weeks liao, only abt 70-80ml each pump.
My baby has been taking Similac and had not poo for 2 days, any advise?

Ellysia, aiyo, if he awake in middle of the night, your mum and you take turns to carry him isit?
Connie, I think mamypoko also not bad. Now they have a new range lor. BTW, when discharged from hospital, those free gift packages do have drypers, huggies ultra and I am not sure but maybe one mamypoko? Good to try those diapers also.

Hi verniz,
1130pm ok lor, every night i must "fight" with my son. Strange he sleeps well in the day despite noises, lights & such. My elder could sleep thru the night at 5th mth. I think this noti boy difficult liao.
Hi ellysia
3am - 9am??! That's pure torture!! So u have to carry him? Have u got a sarong sling? it might help, then u also can sleep but sitting up lah...better than no sleep.
For me, i let him sleep beside me and stuff him his pacifier to let him sleep. sometimes woerk, sometimes not. He also likes to hold on to my finger when he trying to sleep.
90 ml from hospital? Thats quite a lot. Mine was only 60ml. only after 1 week, then 80ml. But i wonder if 120ml is too much for a going to be 3 weeks baby leh. Dun remember my girl drinking that much this young.
I only managed to squeeze into my bigger pants & skirts. Hopefully when my ML is finished, i can fit back into old clothes, else waste $$. I weigh last night, 53kg, 6kg more to go leh.
Hi jessica
Me too fnd supply dropping, now can pump when i feel full which is like 5hrs? Never mind lah. Selfish-ly, i was glad too, cos very busy pumping 3hrly, feeding, bathing 2 kids. Also canot imagine going out with leaking boobs and engorgement.
Both my kids are on similac (elder one on Gain IQ now). He doesnt poo daily. Ever tried never poo for 2 days. If your baby doesnt show signsof discomfort shld be ok. Try putting Ru Yi oil and diluting his milk. that 2 days, i mixed 1 1/4 scoop for 90ml of water.
Connie,
Mamy poko is good in absorbency too. But ex. now i use drypers for day n huggies ultra/comfort for night, can last till day time, so i dun change him unless he poos. but the huggies cutting kind of big leh, sometimes, my boy wakes with his diapers below his butt.

btw, my massage lady is really good. i got her 5 consecutive days from my second week and i am getting her to come this week as well cos i really need a good massage.
if anyone is keen can contact her, but she is very busy.
only $32 per 1hr session, and pay only on the fifth session.
so far very good. she also do slimming one. which i am now asking her to do for me. $35 per session.
anyone interested can contact her, mona 90260085.

Veniz and Linda,
My mum will carry him throughout whole nite. she will attempt to put him to sleep if he appear to be asleep, sometimes successful sometimes not. tats why if my mum went back home (weekend she need to go back sometimes to settle stuff), i will be in trouble.
I didn't carry him to sleep on my bed, cos my bed also quite dirty now tat i didn't have time to wash linen etc, dun want bb to catch dirt esp now his face got rashes ored.
Just now he make himself so tired tat he sleep from 4pm to 10pm without asking for feed. end up i have to pump my milk out and its so engorge tat i can pump 100ml just within 5mins. I didn't pump all milk out cos want to keep in case need to latch later.

I think we can start a DESPERATE MOTHERS club hehehe
When I admit my bb into hospital last week, the doctor calculate the amt of milk she should consume based on her current weight. He insist that I should let her finish the amt no matter what. At that point she is drinking approx 60ml of milk based on 2.8kg.

taken from Yahoo on the amt of milk a baby should take in a day.
__________________________________
intake is dependent on the infants weight, normally a 6 week old will eat 2-4oz in a sitting or nurse every 1.5-3 hours round the clock
as long as your baby is still not being fed anything except formula or breastmilk, gaining weight and having wet diapers he is well fed
these are the ounce guidelines based on weight (the amount of calories a day needed for growth)
Pounds/ kg /oz
4.5 / 2 / 11
6 / 2.7 / 15
8 / 3.6 / 19
10 / 4.5 / 24
12 / 5.5 / 30
To estimate energy requirements and recommended formula intake for an individual infant:
* Obtain infant's weight in kg. If measurement is taken in pounds, convert ounces to a decimal value of a pound (each ounce is .0625 of a pound) and multiply by .454.
* Multiply weight in kg by 108 kcal/kg to get estimate of total energy needs.
* Divide by 20 to get number of ounces
also please note that the amount of food given and also the type will have no effect on how long or well your baby sleeps.
giving rice cereal or other food before six months old will do nothing for your baby except deprive him of the calories he needs (he can't yet digest solids).

giving rice cereal or other food before six months old will do nothing for your baby except deprive him of the calories he needs (he can't yet digest solids).
Girls...
Me saw my princess liao. She is 3.415kg. So choon..her bro was 3.425kg.
Contractions started at abt 4plus. Me thought another trial run...so, still playing wz #1. Ehen the pain got worse, in tears. Called DH to come back. Packed #1's baby bag, took a shower and went to TMC.
Arrived at TMC within 30 mins. Checked in at 5.45pm according to the Sister. Changed and checked VE - dilated 5cm liao. Epidural administered only. No time to pangsai either. OBGYN came within 20mins. Checked VE again - 8cm dilated. By 7plus, Sister and OBGYN asked to push. Baby facing up (the most difficult position, it seemed) but OBGYN said I can do it..no need to use other equipments. So, push lor. Princess came out with a loud cry and eyes wide open after 8 pushes. Both baby and mummy are a-OK.
Sister asked me to BF baby immediately and heng ah...successful. Now am in the room, can't sleep, DH and #1 is staying with me.
So glad its over.
That's my story lah...
Take care and nite!

Hi all,
I fell a large gust of water,
not sure if I just broke my water bag or,
if it's just mucus plug,
I should be heading for KKH when day breaks,
wish me luck!!!
