[ellysia]

morn ladies!

Star, my orders are correct.

MLP, i am not sure wat way to reduce the interval. U can try to feed yr bb more than normal on the feed before he goes to nite sleep. Probably he can sleep longer then.

bluecheese, i heard from colleagues tat similac causes constipation.

 

[ellysia]

Those feeding total EBM, do u notice tat yr EBM becoming thicker? Mine became thicker recently and my bb poo colour also change to darker tone. Also notice tat the milk became more oily.

 

[chamia]

mrswrx and fennie, me also support tiger and zoji. They are good. I got one tiger porridge cooker, pour 'initially cookind for 10mins boiling hot' porridge in it, two hours later, the rice grains become puffed like porridge. Good for my son when in hurry to go out with his porridge.

 

[ellysia]

Fennie,

I tink the JL sale on diapers are only on selected diapers, i rem last time i went the sale is on drypers and petpet. They dun have pampers or mamy poko or huggies.

Wat is food jar use for? Is it same as milk warmer?

 

[ellysia]

feifei,

I bot GAP BB clothes before. Try to get 6-12M or 12-18M clothes now cos the 3-6M clothes are tight on my bb now. Their size is a bit smaller than normal bb clothes size.

 

[soyabean]

feifei...
which shop at bukit panjang did u buy the friso?? tell me... cos i stay in BP... wld wan to avoid that shop!! do call friso up and complain... u might be able to get a replacement...

ellysia...
cld there be a change in your diet lately? thicker prob means there is more hindmilk?

 

[ellysia]

Zu En,

OIC. i pump in office lactation room but its located in another floor. So i have to travel to and fro. There is a schedule to follow so if i miss my slot i won't be able to use the room. The room is so popular tat before and after office hours still got people using.

 

[ellysia]

feifei,

frisco is from which country? Hope yr bb is ok. u are right 210ml is very scary. Take care.

soyabean,

only recently i got eat mooncake. But not so oily bah. i suspect is bec bb is growing so maybe need more fats? so tats why milk more hindmilk. he also suck longer and drink slowly recently and tend to stay on one breast longer then move on to the other. Last time he always drink v fast.

 

[ongsy80]

Morning Ladies..

Hello Star..

shopping spree.. wow.. i am interested.. Am i too late for it?

 

[ellysia]

bluecheese,

My bb still drinking 120ml since month 2. But mine drinking on total EBM so maybe different. cos i understand EBM usu dun need so many ml as FM.

 

[fennie77]

my jared was on Similac for 5 days once, no problem with poo, but once i gave him Rid Wind, he didnt poo for many days, then ever since, he dont poo everyday, now once in few days and alot, always kenna baju, already threw away 1 romper cos difficult to wash, btw, now TBF, so not only FM baby will have poo problem

WRX,

[newbbi79]

bluecheese,

[fennie77]

Ellysia,
i know about last promo at JL, cos i bought drypers at 15% off, this time round, it didnt mention on the coupon that it is only for certain brands, it just stated 15% on diapers & nursery

 

[bluecheese]

ellysia, similac realli cause constipation? I thot only my bb not suitable.

Btw food jar is for storing porridge next time if u go out with bb, when bb is old enuff to take solid food.

 

[ellysia]

Nismo and MLP,

Total EBM can also be 3hrs one.. not necessary FM i tink.

MLP u can try to stretch longer during the day, e.g. try to stretch feed to 2.5hrs instead of 2 hrs then gradually increase. sometimes i drag bb feed to 3.5hrs then sometimes 4hrs. if he cry i try to coax him by carrying him around etc. u can try tat to stretch yr bb feeding hrs.

 

[ellysia]

Fennie,

last weekend the robinsons nursery sale is 20% even better.

 

[ellysia]

bluecheese,

oic...

ya got a few colleagues say similac is more heaty and thus cause constipation. But more "bu" cos more nutrients.

 

[ellysia]

rooller,

i tink nuby brand pacifer is bpa free. got other brands can't remember.

 

[ellysia]

Btw my bb taking his first 5-in-1 jab soon. can u all advise wat tings to look out for. if fever how to deal with it? need to feed water or anything?

[newbbi79]

Ellysia,
Friso made in Netherlands lor...ya lor, we fed her 3times yest, 1st 180ml, drink liao still scream, then made another 60ml, cried again, then made another 60ml, finish everything then she go slp...haiz...so can imagine how dilute this tin of friso is lor..

Good hor, u still can latch ur bb...For me, my menses reported liao, so ms dropped to 10ml lor..so little...me tinking to stop pumping cos each time onli 10ml, low morale lor..

 

[bluecheese]

Ellysia, i tot bb will drink more EBM cos it is more dilute than FM? Also tot those on BM tends not to have pooing problems? this is what the doctor says leh...

Btw me oredi giving bb full FM oredi cos last time one of my breast got blocked ducts and ended up the milk supply getting lesser and lesser.. dependent on one breast.. sigh... Oso my opic dun have nursing room and mine is open concept oso...

Btw... feifei... just a note, my gal din drink as much le as compared to last time on Similac.. dunno if she doesnt like the taste or wat.. she prefers zzz than drinking her milk lor.. I tot of changing FM again... mummies, any recommendation?

 

[mylittleprince]

Morning mummies!

Nismo, how to calculate how much shld bb drinks per day? My bb is 6.2kg now. During the day, helper feeds 120ml and he can last abt 2hrs. Think i need to up liao.

Feifei: i also ve encounter issue wif Friso couple of mths back when the FM changed colour from off-white to lavender. Since then, I ve switch to Enfalac. Although more expensive, Friso @ $30 &amp; Enfalac @ $37, I think it is worth it.

Ellysia: friso is from Finland.

[iamsnow]

morning ladies....

today on leave. hee hee.....

feifei,
u managed to find out the cause for the long hrs of cry? good for u! but how come they like that one ar.... say change and can change so suddenly. bb so fragile woh... i think u better complain.

i think maybe our gals are growing very fast now.... u remember i also tell u my ger crying non stop? the same thing happen the next day. my maid went to give her another feed. initially she drinking 120ml. 1 hr later, feed her another 120ml. thats 240ml!!! then she diam diam go and sleep.... so now we increase her feed to 140ml.... see how it goes today...

 

[chamia]

Crystal, aiya, I leak or no leak also supply low. I always think that its becoz my breast cannot grow big enough to contain more ss in them. Anyway, just try to supply my gal with whatever I have lar.

Yaya, know you are a bon fide shopper also, hee, online and physically shopping for your darling Gwen.

 

[newbbi79]

mrswrx,
Ya lor, so sad rite..hiaz..

Bluecheese,
u bot ur Enfalac at medical hall?

Crystal,
Charlotte is 3mths and 2wks+...She was 6.4kg and 64.1cm 2wks ago.. =D..

iamsnow,
today u on leave? Tink they growing spurt also lor..thats y..But hor , hb and I tried the FM outselves, we find that it was really dilute, like drinking plain water lor, no wonder she is not full lor...

 

[maswan02]

morning ladies

iamsnow
nice to meet u last saturday...wah on leave....shiok lah

 

[bluecheese]

feifei, my enfalac is bot from provision shop.

Btw hor, i realised my gal is always shorter than others in term of length.. dunno why... hahahaha.. and strange, my hubby (abt 1.8m) and myself (1.65m) is consider tall.. how come ah???

Oso verniz, I concluded one thing... big breast does not equate to more milk.. heehee.. from my observation of ppl ard la.

 

[soyabean]

iamsnow...
sounds like ur bb is going thru a growth spurt...

 

[bluecheese]

Oppppsss... I hope I m not comparing too much.. .just dun understand how come.. hee

 

[chamia]

bluecheese, I know, big breasts do not equal to more supply. But hor, mine always that little bit of milk niah.

Bluecheese, for baby length, dun worry too much. they will grow tall when they grow up. For my #1, he is a shorty, unlike me and hb who are of standard height (ok lar, me not counted coz i only 1.56m, but hey, I come from tall family). Then I realised that my boy actually is like my FIL, who is on shorter side. Haiz, Mrswrx said how come like FIL shorty one, like that no use being handsome if most pretty gals are taller.

 

[roxyz]

wow, feifei and iamsnow so envious of your babies weight and baby drinking habits! Isaiah is coming to 4 mths already and he's only 6.1kg now.. only drinking 120ml now, anyway, my ss also getting low now.. haiz


ellysia, normally if bby drinks FM, bb will tend to drink less than BM coz FM is thicker than bm and they will feel full faster... pd will give bb some syrup panadol, its up to you whether you want to take it... must monitor his temp for next 24 hrs after jab

veniz... sorry i never read the previous postings, so duno if u replied me or not keke... let me know how you want to collect the tubings.. if not I can mail them out in bubble wrap also

calling for piyo!!! Tubings are here.. pls let me know how you want to collect... thanks dear!


Btw, im gg to shave isaiah botak this wed, where do you all bring bb to shave botak ah?

 

[mylittleprince]

bluecheese, any idea how much does pipit road provision shop sells similac? now supermart selling at $39.50!!! increase $3+ within a short while. *faint*

Shycloud: JIA YOU!!!!

 

[chamia]
