ellysia,
Agreed that is an expensive item, tats why must consider carefully before make any decision.
Roxy,
Do consider the warranty part? Coz if the pump does not carry international warranty, then we might ended up paying more if the pump spoilt leh.

on the topic of breastfeeding, I feel our attitude must be positive. don't be too upset, stressed or depressed. women in 3rd world countries are capable of producing milk, so I'm sure we can also produce milk no matter how badly we eat. But if we are upset, angry, depressed, anxious, stressed, that will definately affect milk supply.

So, there's medication to established milk supply? O.. nvr heard it before coz all this while only know got pills to stop it. Maybe will check with my gynae on it as well in case, if needed.

BTW, the barley to use is the smaller seed type. Dun buy the big seed type or the hen brand. The bigger seed type is more liang. Clarified wif the medical hall. For Gingko, it does have side effect on blood. I think is it will cause profuse bleeding if taken in large quantity for a normal person. So usu i only take 5 pieces in my dessert n have this once or twice a month, shd b ok.

Felicia,
do you mean you didnt really bf your #1 when you were not feeling well that time?because supply is due to demand, so if you feed bb regularly, the supply will be there. i successfully bf my #1 solely on bm for 6 months, then another 4 months, with formula substitute as I had to go back to work, you can also seek breastfeeding mothers support group for help, not sure what is their website though

I was also fed-up when my mil kept saying that bb crying, is it because you dont have milk, i bo chap what she said, and continue to bf my #1, and glad I succeeded, so must not be discourage if there is negative contributions around you during your 1st weeks of breastfeeding

Fennie,
My bb was able to latch on quite well initially and i even can pump out exceed milk after tat to keep in fridge, but after nearly 2 weeks, i realised my supply was reducing and totally can stop after that.
And i realised my weight reduce 5-6kgs within a week from the day i discharge from hospital. I'm not sure if this weight reducing is normal or not and whether it had affected my BM as well.

Both my mum and my MIL and my hb not really v encouraging on breastfeeding. My MIL fail to bf and then later give up in bf totally for all her kids. My mum give up bf and straightaway give formula. Both of them thinks that bf is v difficult and ma fan. My hb also tink dun force on bf, if cannot give formula milk. Only i myself want to try bf for 6mths bec' i have a lot of colleagues done it successfully.
actually i tink the hardest obstacle is to bf every 2-3hrs interval at a 24 hour clock, while keeping sane and not overly tired. It be the hardest part.

I dunno if u remember home econs but i remember i read in home econs in sec 1 textbook tat breastfeeding will help in prevent of cancer for both mum and bb.
I also consider to express but my colleague say if we sleep in a 5hrs row, we may get breastfull/engorge later.
Both my MIL and mum are full time housewife. My MIL said she got try the hospital pumps before but somehow my hb reject breastmilk but she is not sure whether it is the latching method or because she gave formula milk in hospital.
My mum is bec' she heard horror stories of bb biting mum nipple etc so she worried then get medicine to stop breastmilk.

I did not really feel my baby movement for the whole day.. But some time i feel a heart beat feeling from my stomach... Is this consider a kick also.. can any experience mummies out there to advice me? ]
Thanks...

Felicia,
Lucky you! The heart in the middle of the Ginko is black black one issit?
Feifei, how much u spend at the delivery suite? Heard they charge by dunno mins or hr one rite?
I've been drinking barely since 1st trimester. Nothing to drink, plus I always have sore throat and UTI, so drank quite abit of barely. They said barely cleanse the body also.
Catcus, thanks for the info. Me try to find the ingredients tml. If we cook too long, the beancurds will dissolve totally issit?
I think when the reason why we cannot take Ginko during pregnancy is like what Felicia said, we need to take out the heart of the ginko issit?
I dun like the taste of Ginko actually. I always throw away the ginko and eat only the beancurd n barely. Dunno I throw away like that, will still have the benefits for baby or not...
Re: Medela PIS, If I remember correctly, if anything wrong when we get from Oversea, we service it in Sg is 50 bucks or 150 bucks.
Re: Liver during confinement. That time I met up with my CL, she told me first 12-14 days after delivery, totally cannot touch liver. Cos we need let our body's blood be cleanse before we can take in any "bu".

Hi Ellysia,
That means the beat is considered one movement per day? cause gynae say that one day, a bb should have at least 10 movements....
By the way, i think i just reach 3rd trimster.. Is it means that the bigger u are, the baby movement is lesser?

Ellysia, Yeah.. I think your bb should be A.
I didn't take home economics leh... don't know about cancer prevention but I've heard something like that outside. Yeah.. so maybe breastfeeding is good for us too. Lowers our risk of cancer. You are right about 5 hours in a row will cause engorgement... sigh..

Kelcqi,
Yes, if you cook the beancurd too long, it will dissolve totally. so must watch over. Cos I use pressure cooker so usually I don't cook this with pressure. just cook it normally. But I need to cook the nuts with pressure, if not, will take a very long time. Barley will also take time too.
You can get all the ingredients from ZTP or Hock Hua medical shop.
I dun know if ginkgo is safer if we take out the heart but I always take out the heart. It may not be always black. I always poke it out with a tooth pick. It can be beige/yellow, green or black.

Ya, the 'heart' is a bit black in color. Normally my mil will sure a toothpick to poke it out. Anyhow, we cannot take too much of gingko per day oso, just eat moderate will do.

Felicia,
I c,i remembered encountering blood while expressing milk, also other problems, and i called the hospital lactation nurse to check, i also express and keep in freezer if bb missed the feed, to maintain the supply, maybe you wanna ask if there is a lactation nurse you can seek help if you needed to ask abt bf

Kelcqi,
2 weekends ago, I bought the dessert ingredients from ZTP.
There are ZTP shops all around singapore.
I paid $3 for 1kg of gingko nuts, $1 for rock sugar, $0.80 (or $0.60?) cents for pack of barley (small type) and about $1.80 (forget how much) for 1 pack of beancurd sheets.
I used 1kg of nuts, 1/2 pack of rock sugar, 1/8 pack of barley and 8 beancurd sheets for about 12 cup servings of dessert. Hope this is a useful guage for you.

I just went downstairs to get my tea snacks, hehe. Then becos I was very very hungry so was in a hurry to get out of the shop to come back office and eat. Just as nearing the door, I actually slipped forward but luckily managed to hold onto door handle and steady myself. Heng ah.
Ellysia,
Your bb could be O blood group also. Cos A is made up of A and O. So when your blood joined tog with hubby's A and O, you can end up with OO which is O blood group. Hope I'm not confusing you but just in case your bb is O and u wonder why.
