feifei,
after CL leaves, i will be going to my mum's place to stay for the next 2 mths.
happy.gif
it should be quite manageable cos my mum can help me to look after bb at times cos she is still working. it's just that next week, my mum is going on a holiday and CL is leaving this sat, so next week is going to be quite stressful. Just need to "tong" through the week and hope MS does not decrease. :p
 


<font color="aa00aa">piyo, i'm not sure but the doses baby taken is quite small in amt. But i saw mummies in this forum highly recomended this powder. I just brought one tube to standby.
Anyhow, if baby phlegm is too much, need to ask PD's help to suck out lor.

feifei,your ger is so cute with so many hair! U din shave her duirng 1st mth?

As for EBM, i'll definately try to jia you but not sure if my determination can overcome all the tiredness in waking up at nite or not. My baby is now sleeping with me and hubby, as i din latch on, tats means i had to wake up not just for pumping but when baby cry for milk, i'll wake up as well. So, all this sleepness nite really make me so tired. Now got hubby's help but when hubby back to work, dont think i can manage.
But yest, my hubby was kind enuf to tell his mother's help to take care of baby at nite when he start working, then i take over my #1. (My #1 didnt need nite feed, so much much easier for me).
Hope with this arrangement i can 'survive'.</font>
 
morning...
wow... toking abt MS? it seems like my MS is oso stabilising. the past few days i hv been pumping abt the same amt everyday. i do hope i can increase it in time cos my girl's intake will surely be increasing. i pump every 3-4hr now and get abt 120-140ml every time, sometimes 150ml.

i'm running out of containers to store my frozen EBM. and last nite, i even mixed some of my EBM to my #1's milk.

feifei...
u can do tummy tucks whenever u r free to help the tummy...
happy.gif
u can jus stand and then hold ur breathe and hold ur tummy in for a few seconds and then breathe out slowly. do it abt 5 times every set.

when charlotte naps, u oso take a nap.
happy.gif
that will help u build up ur ss.

few weeks ago i saw the channel 8 sat 9.30pm baby prog and the episode was toking abt bfg. it was said that our body produces the most BM during the midnite hours i.e. 11plus to abt 2-3plus at nite, so its very crucial for the mummy to be sleeping at this time.

samsoon...
its normal for one side to be producing less than the other. my right side is more productive than my left too.
happy.gif
u try to pump slightly longer at the "smaller" side. i did that and now the difference between the 2 sides has been slightly narrowed.

felicia...
hug hug... i can understand how tiring it is to wake up at nite to pump.
sad.gif
cos i do it every nite, and on top, i am the one who wakes up to feed bb every nite... but jia you...
happy.gif
the initial few weeks are very impt for us to establish the ss, cos our body is adjusting to bb's intake. once bb is older, drinking pattern more fixed, it will be more difficult to adjust the ss.

crystal...
u are doing ur best to give bb wat u hv and its very good! a little BM is better than no BM at all...
happy.gif
and ur ms of 1000ml a day is incredible!
happy.gif
may i ask how much is ur bb drinking now?
 
<font color="aa00aa">hi felicia,
yup, ve to "tong" to bring MS ss up 1st lar then decrease frequency i suppose base on experience.
happy.gif


jus to chk, how much did u get the ba pao san for &amp; oni EYS have tis? any idea if ZTP sells it too? thinking of getting one tube for my ger as well.

hi gers,
any recommendation on those bb carriers to buy? my hb thinking of getting one but after all his research, he ends up more confuse than ever cos all ve their pros &amp; cons...kekekee...</font>
 
<font color="aa00aa">feifei,
i like lil charlotte's 2nd pic best...she looks so girlish n demure...feel like hugging her myself.

soya,
dun be cos my 1000ml per day was history oreadi, no thanks to my WONDERFUL MIL!!! so now, i m down to oni 600ml max per day. my ger now drinks a ttl of abt 1680ml daily (FM + EBM)@ 7wks old.</font>
 
feifei,
your baby has lots of hair!

sarahteddy,
for both my gers, I supplement EBM in bottles, so both are like yours, take to bottles and latching easily.. I thk babies are smart. Many do notget nipple confusion as mentioned by some doctors/books?

Felicia,
how big &amp; how much is 1 tube of the ba pao san?
 
<font color="aa00aa">soya,
yup! tat's y my hb said my lil ger is "a high cc car" &amp; her PD comment tat she is overfed. but if we dun feel her, she cries till the roof comes down...she is definitely hungry!</font>
 
crystal...
hehe... how much she drinks per feed?
my girl has this cluster feeding syndrome at certain times of the day... where she crys for milk almost every hour... and every nite she has this too... she wldnt sleep until she has drank enuf...

so wat we do is instead of the usual feed amt of 80ml... we give her 1 to 1half oz every hr... until she sleeps... dun wan overfeed her oso, cos if she drinks too much, she will end up regurgitating out the milk.
 
oh... my girl hasnt pooed yest...
sad.gif
she is on total BM... oni once in a few days we give her 1-2oz of FM at nite cos of her cluster feeding syndrome, cldnt heat up the EBM in time. do u gals think its normal? her tummy quite bloated... we been applying ru yi oil... and she been farting alot too... but no poo...

hope she is not constipated...

is there a possibility that my BM is heaty due to the heaty confinement food and the longan/reddate water?
 
<font color="aa00aa">soya,
thanks! she takes in abt 140ml-150ml per feed every 2-3hrly.

roooller,
was abt to ask soya the same qn too...
happy.gif
</font>
 
Hi Roooller!

do approach PD for some medicated lotion for the "pimple". My gal got it too. The "pimple" is caused by the excessive hormones that pass through the planceta while our baby is in the womb.

Please do not soak your baby in "tub of beer", an old method advocates by our grandparents. The baby skin will absorb the alcohol in the beer and resulting in intoxification of alcohol of the baby.
 
<font color="aa00aa">roooller,
wat is there to blame? not yur fault. my bb also kenna, quite common for bbs. during my bb's 1st mth celebration, also got relatives, etc comment, i jus brush them off saying it is heat rash due to FM lor.

the best way now to clear the "pimples" is to wipe bb's face wif a clean cotton wool soak wif warm water after every feed &amp; try to shower bb twice daily. it works for my lil ger n now her face is all smooth again.</font>
 
sarahteddy and crystal,
forget to mention, the pimple also has 'red patches'
nt sure u get wat i mean.

sarahteddy,
didnt noe abt the excessive hormones.
cos only getting more
bb shower this weekend.

i not no gut to try the 'tub of beer' :p
thanks
 
Hi Sarahteddy, my gal has tis pimple like ting too..around the eyes..i was oso like soyabean wondering issit due to the longan drink which is too heaty..my frens said its common dun apply anytin and will go away...but its like for quite sometime liao ler...
dono shld go doctor anot.

Seems like all bbs here drinkin alot leh..my gal oni drinks 90ml and sometimes i see her breathin so hard while drinking like wanto vomit ..interval is 2hrs on EBM..any idea if i shld increase the milk?? confused!
 
rizty...
hehe... ur gal still drinking more than mine... and mine oso has the pimple like thingy... my boy used to hv it oso... i jus leave it alone... like wat crystal has said, make sure the face is clean can already. and we shld avoid using our hands to touch the face wherever poss.
 
hi sarahteddy, ritzty and roooller,
agree with soyabean and crystal, just used cooled boiled water to clean with cotton, they will clear up very fast
 
my boy is still having 90ml to 100ml of milk intake now.. but it can only last him 1hr 30mins to 2hrs + of slp.. unlike last time is 3hrs to 4hrs.. so i tink i will slowly increase it to 120ml.. he is coming 4wks old..

as for pimples, my boy oso will get it on n off.. but it will jus go away after 1 or 2 days..
 
pimples - my boy also. Think quite common. but i ks, i apply hazeline snow. kekeke...

milk - today also realised his interval was shorter. used to last 3 hrs, but now cannot. think hv to increase too. Now he drinking 130ml. Must change big bott, very kua zhang...

bb carrier - i personally like the sarong sling. Can carry on the hip when baby can support his head.
 
Hi hi!

for me, very kia see, so brought her to see a PD. But as what you ladies have shared, it will go away soon. Any cream or lotion given is to help in the "healing". My gal's "pimples" only went away about 1 week later, so more serious. But now her skin is smooth.
 
i bot the sarong sling too.. moms in mind.. my frend's comments are bb can slp better in it.. but the not so gd is when bb get heavier will backache lor.. kekeke..
 
<font color="aa00aa">linda,
provide bb wans sleep in pram or at least lie in it when out shopping. mine refuse so my pram becomes my personal shopping cart whereas bb is carried. :p</font>
 
linda,
hahaha.. ya.. but not all bbs will lie there quietly..
sad.gif


crystal,
haha.. ya lor.. some of my frends' bbs oso refused..
 
Hi BabyCupid!

My PD charges me $80 for 1st consultation, excluding medicine. But recent review checkup, he never charge me at all, just only medication.

I pretty like my PD. Surprisingly my mom also thinks he is good at handling toddlers (Quite Xi4 Xin1). Plus his waiting time is shorter than the other well-known, much sought-after PD, so now both my gal and baby boy are under his charge.
 
sarah,
where is ur pd located? i wanted to go to one nearby here but i heard the waiting time is long lor.. so now still sourcing for alternatives.. kekeke..
 
Hi BabyCupid!

My PD is from Kinder CLinic, located at Mt Alvenia.

The clinic has other outlets at Paragon Medical Centre, Siglap Centre, Parkway Parade Shopping Centre, Gleneagles Medical Centre, and Holland Grove
 
jus got back from expressing... and i now believe that milo reali helps in MS... i took a hot cup of milo half an hour b4 expressing... and i produced a record amt of BM from that session... :p
 
hey ladies, how is everyone. glad that the thread is still so active. guess i am the only one not coming into the forum.

CONGRATS to all mummies... for those still doing confinement, hang in there.

my boy, kyler is still having jaundice. he is in his 6th week now. i am on total breast feeding so far. dr said that kyler has breast feeding jaundice. i am actually quite worried. its so sad that every x we go out people would comment that he is so yellow.

has anyone encounter similar situation or any idea what to do. should i stop breast feeding totally.
 
Hi Priscilla and Bonjovi!

Yap! Initially was TT, but cannot tahan the long waiting time, so switched to Dr Lim.

Saw Dr Lim yestderday for Jaundice problem too. My boy also gan na Breastfeeding Jaundice but Dr Lim did not ask me to stop BF. But he wants me to go back to him if my boy still looks yellow after 1 week or 2.

My experienced CL commented that boy does not look that yellow today, so will continue to monitor his condition.

Bonjovi, did you alert Dr Lim about Kyler's condition? If you are worried, do bring him to see Dr Lim soon. Think Dr Lim can give better advice. No matter how experienced we mommies are, we are not Doctors, so I will bring baby to see doc to confirm baby is alright.
 
soyabean,

how many ml you can pump out normally? mine hor.. increase not much.. from 90-130ml only.. 5th wks liao.. anyway, i'm lazy lah.. sometimes pump every 4-5 hours.. at night, if lazy to wake up.. will "tong" till morning 6/7am after 11/12pm pumping.
 
hi bonjovi
breastmilk jaundice is pretty common i guess... Isaiah still has some jaundice and he is 7 weeks now... as long as bb passes the liver test, jaundice is fine... will slowly go away


hi babycupid
wow ur boy is taking so much! My boy used to take 100ml every 3 hrs, now only take 50-60 every 2 hrs... ydae went for PD review at polyclinic, he said bb lesser than 1 mth shouldnt be drinking so much and all this while we have been over feeding him .. 120ml per feed is for babies 2 mths old
 


aprilmum...
