roooller, Cynthia is one of our fellow mother in June 08 Thread. She gave birth to her #2 early June, I had chatted with her on msn as well and met her for hi-tea buffet before she went for induce last month, hee.
Cyn, I going out today again (very sneaky hor) and told my friend i craving for english hi-tea again. But she cannot stomach buffet, so we will settle for just normal tea makan later.

<font color="aa00aa">ellysia,
MILs r like tat lar…mine also hint hint tat the gd stuff of my bb belongs to their clan, the not so gd ones, belong to mine. Fed-up after listening to it during confinement, so now can tahan, I tahan, cannot tahan ones, I retort back lor…hahahaha…
Eg 1: bb at nite dun sleep, tis am in front of my SIL before all of us go for wk, she said – “hiya yur bb whole nite dun sleep I also dun get to sleep, dunno like u or leong (referring to her son, my hb) hor?” I was sitting in front of her carrying bb, so I said, “no way like me lar. I always sleep on time, yur son always play PC games or watch cartoon dunno till wat time after midnite, bb must ve taken over from daddy…” then my MIL & SIL shut up cos it is the truth mah.
Eg 2: bb always cry when bring for shower (interestingly she doesn’t cry when hb n me shower her but yell the hse down when my MIL shower her), the last wk my MIL comment to me in front of her relatives – “hiyo, bb dun seem to like to shower, dirty ger. Dunno take after who (once again referring to my hb or me).” So I retort in a light manner – “must be like daddy lar, always come back hm from wk, dun shower one, must wait for 1-2hrs later then shower, so even dirty, must be from daddy lar.” Hahahahaa…..she swallow her words after tat cos is a known fact tat the 1st thing I do once I get hm is to shower, then dinner follow by others stuff whereas hb must ve dinner 1st, rest a bit, then shower….
Veniz,
Agreed wif Cynthia! Know u love yur hb but cannot pamper him like tat lar…he cant expect wat his mum does for him from u too cos u wk. yur life not revolve ard family oni, whereas in the older generation, the wife primary role is HOME. Nowsaday, we dun ve a primary role anymore, we r always multi-tasking & playing simultaneous roles. If yur hb wans to fall back on the argument tat if his mum can do it, so can u. then tell him tat since his dad was the sole breadwinner, then he shd do e same while u stay at hm & he pay all the bills! No offense, but I do find yur hb kinda of MCP. I sure cant tahan if I in yur shoes. Would ve shot him long ago…I very fiery one…even one of my hb’s childhood fren also kinda of MCP, wan the wife to keep giving birth, I shoot him off mah n told him, wat? U think yur wife is a pig huh? Give birth very tough one…he can still tell me, preg is easy, so I buttered him a bit n told him to go give birth himself since he so sure preg is easy…Darn MCP!
Priscilla,
Goodness, yur MIL ve basic hygienic std bor? Blow nose wif hands n clean on shirt n carry bb?! My MIL knows better than to try tat wif me, she know my hygienic std one…so she ever said tat I very “yim chin (fussy)” – dun care lar…I rather she know n tell pple I fussy & over-particular abt cleanliness than letting her think she can get away wif sub-std hygiene std, esp when my bb is concern n in her care.
Feifei,
I didn’t know ve to lor…sotong me…so she came back wif no fever but feverish skin to the the touch & she was so cranky for 3 days after till she lost her voice even…see oreadi so ke lian…her next jab on 2nd Aug, I will make the paosheng for her 1st the day before her jab.
Felicia,
Now tat I m working, I pump oni 3 times a day @ 7am, 3pm, 9pm & all 3 pumps will give me 170-180ml each. So I normally sleep thru the nite but I wear nursing bra to bed & tighten the strips a bit so tat there is added pressure on nipples & the milk wun leak. So far it works for me…</font>

Hi Soyabean, I'm expressing milk every 3 hours, including at night. So far, I've been able to meet bb's feeds but bb has problems latching on in a sense. He is able to latch, but he is very impatient to suckle. He is a very strong suckler though.
Ellysia, I've not bottled fed bb so far. He has been fed with a styringe from day 1. Advised by the hospital staff cos I said I want to have complete breast feeding.
my bb is still jaundiced but no need to go to hospital for phototherapy, so I'm giving him FM during the nights and EBM during the days. Cos I find that he poos and pees more often when he is on EBM. PIS is good cos it seems to stimulate bb's suckling very well. so far,I've relied solely on PIS to stimulate milk supply. Although my bb is a very agressive suckler, he doesn't drink much. so I've been able to express per feed exactly what he would be drinking per feed.

mrswrx,
bb fever is 38 I think. that time my bb went polyclinic to check for jaundice, my bb was 37.5. the doc told me to monitor and if the temp goes to 38, to bring bb back again. but I guess u can call up any PD to check with the nurses there to double confirm.
MIL:
tell me abt it man! my mil is also creating lots of pblm for me. I think I'm suffering post natal depression because of her!!! there's simply endless stories to tell abt mil!! sigh.......

Hi piyo
Your girl very girlish look wor!!
Sure pretty when grow up.
Hi verniz
Actually, now that my girl is schooling liao, I really feel the additional "stress"... Cannot imagine she in Pri 1. My ma is the one who always ask me to check her once a week homework, cannot just ask finish anot, must see. So I am making an effort now at I am home...
Yah, influence from school... My girl sometimes will say "But XXX also like this..." I will just say XXX is not right, it is rude and no manners and noboby likes children to do that. Sometimes she listen sometimes she will ask why. Have to find a way to answer her, but sometimes, dunno how to find answers lor.
Hi rooller
Actually in confinement, anything we do "not right" supposedly ruin that particular part next time.
My MIL say cannot cry, cannot read too much, affect eyesight. Cannot go hungary cos will get gastric. Cannot sit all the time must lie on back else back pain. Cannot catch cold cos next time easily cold. Cannot think too much cos will headache. hahaha... Cos for #1 I was depressed for a while and kept crying and thinking abt stuff... kekeke.... Funny hor, cannot think. kekeke
Hi pris
My son also need to be carry almost all the time. Cannot lie down and play by himself... Only sleep very deeply then can put down. But we didnt carry him always last time leh... hmm...
I definately fall into the category of #1 easy, #2 diff. Or maybe #2 will always be diff cos we still have #1 to take care?

But hor, i din take their drink coz got ginger leh. ANyhow, the red dates plus longan drink, my mil will boiled for me daily lor, so dont need to take newbaby one.
crystal, with 3 sessions a day, you able to give ur baby fully EBM? Did u need mix with FM? My hubby keep asking me if i can 'dong' all this milk expressing, coz he keep seeing me go to pump every 3-4hrs. And he know midnite wake up is a real problem for me, coz i'm not a persn whom easily fall asleep. If really can be like you, dont had to wake up to pump at midnite, is such a wonderful thing for me lor.
Btw, in the 1st few weeks, wat is the frequency of your pumping session? Then how you reduce to 3 times a day now?</font>

Hiya!
Oh yes, I rem that sms cos it gave me hope, hehe. Oh no, so fluid intake and stress will def affect. Just spoke to my fren who's on TBF and she says she drinks around 3 big bowls of soup everyday. My MS is still very little, around 50ml every 2 hrs. I think it will be worse when CL is gone cos got more things to handle. Sigh...

<font color="aa00aa">felicia / tera,
nope, my bb was nvr on fully EBM even when at hospital cos her intake is much more than wat i can pump out for her even @ my peak of pumping which is 1000ml a day averaging 6 pumps daily. i alt her feeds wif FM.
in the beginning i do ve to wake up to do a pump in middle of nite but it is so tiring...however, at one pt in time, due to my MIL's meddling, etc. i almost sunk into depression (think i did momentarily for a wk or 2) cos my MS drops very drastically to almost like a pathetic 200ml a day oni. i cried so much to hb then abt it, actually wan to stop BF but felt unfair to my bb. so i took my fenugreek (which i ven't sold yet) & the ss slowly comes back to me, at abt 600ml daily.
then by trial & error, i notice tat if i pump 4 times daily, tat will be optimal but since i ve to wk, i do 3 times daily oni, hence each pump gives me ard 180ml to 200ml. my in-btw pumping hrs can be anything from 6-8hrs, so tat explains y now i can sleep thru the nite.
i guess it is all a mental game wif our bodies. if we dun express @ tat time for a while, our bodies will auto "switch-off" then & there wun be milk but if we consistently do the expressing (similar to latching), then the bodies feel tat there is dd, bodies will auto supply the BM.
dunno if wat i say here makes sense to u gers...</font>

Hi Piyo!
I had a terrible nite with my new born son before my CL came the next day. It seemed that he needed to be fed every 1 to 2 hrs. My CL wants me to pump out milk and bottle-feed him as she said that my boy wants to suckle for comfort. Also, he will sleep while drinking, and I thought he was full already, so in the end, my hungry son cried for milk in less than 3 hrs time.
Now I pump out my milk, but will try to let him suckle during the day. Nite time CL helps to bottle-feed, and I get to rest too.

Hi Fei Fei!
I pump almost every 3 hrs, and wake up once in the nite to clear it as my breasts are pretty full for me to sleep well. Every 3 hrs can pump out about 120 ml of milk. Taking fernugreek too and drink plenty of water. Must rest well too.

<font color="aa00aa">ladies, was seeing all the BM figure make me realised actually my case shld be normal de. Coz i was wondering, why my BM volume seems like not consistent.
I had been trying to pump every 3-4hrs. Each sessions i can get average of 80ml-100ml. I remember once i got 150ml, maybe coz of i drank lot of soups tat day. So, now must drink more soups liao.
Phelgm: maybe can try to let your baby take the 'ba pao san' (Pak poh powder) from EYS. I heard good comments on this powder in clearing baby phlegm from some of the mummies.
crystal, thanks for explaining. Now i'm more clear on the situation liao. So, for me i still had to build up my supply 1st before i can reduce the frequency.
But hor, is really very tiring...</font>

Hi feifei,
I brought my PIS to work and pumped twice in the office till my gal was almost 1 yr old. As the child grows older, the frequency to be fed is lesser. So actually things get easier. I supplemented with FM when I wasn't pumping that frequent, but at least my gal drank some BM, better than nothing.
Furthemore, BF helps you to slim down fast. I did not go for any message or slimming programme, yet I managed to silm down pretty fast though I ate alot. I was even a kg light than my pre-pregnancy weight.
My boy was born on 20th last month. Barely about 2 weeks, I have lost about 5 kg (Less baby, water, placenta, fats). Now just need to bf somemore to get rid of the excess weight w/o a single cent, and it benefits both mother & child.
Jia you lah! You can do it!

Hi Felicia,
my CL also recommended the ba pao san from EYS but I am skeptical cos so young take these chinese herbs, ok not?
hi Sarahteddy,
Most CLs like to bottle feed the babies cos they can guage how much the bb drinks. My CL prefers me to latch then if not enuf then supplement with EBM in bottle.
hi Crystal,
okie, wait for your princess' pics.. pple always ask if it's a boi or ger even though the bb is wearing pink or blue... that's what happened to my 1st one last time hehe...
hi babycupid & feifei,
Yes that's what my CL did.. but she spent quite a bit of time burping her.. it came out like a lump of white milky liquid- it's actually phlegm mixed with milk.
hi feifei,
it's good you get so much after >10hrs but think must pump/latch more diligently else you may never get this amt again cos brain will tell body make lesser milk since demand not as much as ss

phelgm:
my ger also had phelgm and I was so worried that she will choke on herself. in the end, I went to PD. guess wat the PD told me? she will swallow the phelgm and pass it out in poo poo.... *faint* but true enough, her phelgm was gone few days later....
MS:
my ms also decreasing... sianz.... today went back to gyane for check up. he gave me some med to increase ms. hope it helps. I've not managed to store anything in the freezer yet.... hope can increase ms and start storing. else when go back to work, my poor ger will have no ebm to drink....

Hi Piyo!
Actually I also like this arrangement. I have a fren who let her baby direct latch on since birth, when she was about to return work, her baby rejected bottles. She had a hard time to let her baby to get used to bottles. Now my boy accepts both direct latch on and bottles.

Hi Mummies
Errr.. my both side of EBM always so much diff.
One side can express 140ml other side 90ml. Tot my pump spolit & switch over but still e same.
When supply are low, i will use hot towel to wrap & massage my breast for 5mins which normally get better supply.
