RN,

sometimes feed too much bb will also cry bec' over eat. also can cry due to other reasons but mother mis-interpret as hungry.

Why dun u try to latch? cos its easier to control milk. After latching watch if bb is hungry or not. if hungry then u give some FM but stop feeding once bb dun feel like drinking.
 
I dun feed water.. cos BM a lot of water ored. My bb dun recognize milk bottle. he only get excited when i put him on BF cushion and reveal my neh.

bizzsnow,

at least yr meeting room is lockable, my office meeting room cannot be locked.

shycloud,

yes my office a lot of ladies, my co v big got around 5-6 storeys. A lot of mummies moo-ing and using the room. now currently got 6 mummies including me using.
 
soyabean,
u also in senja ah?? i think he's in blk 621..i ask him..if collect from u on wkends can anot??

mlp,

latte,

i cut my bb b4 also, while cutting nails. afterwhich i dare not cut liao, let my hb do. so scary i see, so heart pain.

felicia,

we have 1 room with 2 cubicles which are separated by curtain. but my co has around 300+ staff. I tink they really need to build another room. however, dunno when they will do so. some mummies moo for 1 year and beyond. so tats why the room not enuff space.

is it possible tat yr colour change bec' its foremilk n hindmilk difference?

the tonic is suppose to replenish ourselves.. i tink won't be pass down to BM so fast.
 
lattelover,

feifei,

how do u know yr bb is starting to teeth??

babycupid,

i saw those hooks sold at bb shops like mum n babes and kiddy palace n robinsons.
 
haha, we have been trying to burp her, distract her, play with her, but nothing works, except a bottle of milk. Sometimes we manage to rock her to sleep but she will wake up in 10 min cos of hunger.

The first month was frustrating for both bb and me. She would latch, sleep, latch, sleep. After 2-3 hrs, she would realise that she was really hungry and start to wail and refuse to latch. Had to give her FM then. She would be so tired after that and zzz. Then we repeat again. So in the end, I thought it's better just to express and give her. At least now she can finish a meal in 20 min and sleep/play after that if she wants.

The flip side is she drinks a lot now lor. But i still use single-hole teat so she will drink slower. So funny to see her chomp away, desperate for the milk to flow quicker.

Good thing about her is that she will use her tongue to play with the teat when she is full. She won't suck after that. But don't know why her appetite is so big to begin with.
 
RN,

its bo piang if yr bb really like to drink a lot of milk. But if overweight is likely to lead to obsesity and other probs. At one time i try to control my bb milk intake too but unsuccessful. he also like to drink a lot and always 95 percentile.
 
<font color="aa00aa">babycupid, u mean the S hook, rite? I bought from my neighbourhood shop. But i advise you get those come with velcro, so u just strip it on the pram.

ellysia, our company oso quite big, but luckily total we had 4 cubicles. The room i go had about 8 mummies is sharing now. Luckily everyone chose diff timing from me. Then if happen to had more than 3 mummies at one time, some of them will just pump w/o the curtain. They're ok with it, but i dare not lor. </font>
 
ellysia,
oh oh.. i oso guess kiddy palace will have.. but tat day i jus glance thru cos rushing did not see any.. nvm.. i will go n find again.. thnx!
 
feifei.. yalor... can play happily then suddenly "bian zhui"... i think i got to buy the dentinox.. dunno is it because teething or not.. he only 3 months leh.. but he tries to turn and can managed to turn halfway liao..
 
Felicia,

i got no space to pump w/o curtain, cos the sink is v small also.

babycupid,

likely to be near those bb diaper bags area. ask the shop asst is fastest.
 
bizznow...
weekends i am usu at home, but safer to sms me in advance to check and make collection appt, in case i decide to go out at last min.
happy.gif
i am located at the block next to senja lrt... i will pm u my hp number..
happy.gif
so can deal hor? hehe... if ok, u can transfer $36 to my DBS Savings Plus 014-9-021554. lemme know when u hv done so.
me like u... inverted nipples... so bb dun latch... so i can oni rely on pumping.

babycupid...
u can get these hooks at those DIY/hardware shops at those HDB neighbourhood ctrs...
 
Ellyisa,
I also not bery sure, just guessing cos she drooling for afew wks l iao..Always uses her tongue to play in her mouth, like chewing like that lor...
 
<font color="aa00aa">babycupid, just now out lunch, saw that the hook was sold in those selling household hardware shop. U can try at ur neighbourhood shop. I saw selling 2pcs @ $2.50.</font>
 
felicia,
ohh..issit.. jus those normal hooks can ar? i tot got special hook for those prams.. kekeke.. okok.. i will go find..
 
felicua,
Ya, it's feifei..
Who says BFg is cheap.. I spent so much already, from pump to accessories to fernugreek...
I gg cruise in Nov with bb wor.
 
ioio,
My ger also 3mths+ lor..Tink nowadays bbs are fast learners lor..My ger still duno how to flip yet lor...still training her =D...Tink u can try getting the teething gel 1st..
 
<font color="aa00aa">Babycupid, normal S hook oso can but very troublesome coz it tends to fall off. The one i saw is come with velcro which u can tie it to the pram handle, then it wont fall off lor.

ZuEn, wah so nice going cruise. How many days package? baby need to pay 40% of the package , rite?</font>
 
my ger can turn halfway only, she gets frustrated also when stuck there.

i'm bringing my ger for her 5-in-1 jab soon, but her cough n flu haven't recover, can still go for the jab?
 
Re: bb refuse to drink

I think is common right now. It happen for my bb for 2 wks already. during the first 2wks terrible but now much better. Recommend feed when she's sleeping. Will try not to wake her up else she will not want to drink. If she's awake, no choice but to force to feed till she cry badly then rock her to sleep. When she sleep soundly, slowly push the teat into her mouth then she will drink.

Last night it happen again when my mum taking care. 10+ i feed her 150ml FM. 5+ she cry for milk. Think most likely my mum nv hear bb signal for milk. At that time when feeding, bb eyes open big big. So i went back sleep. Awhile later i heard she cry again. Haiz... expected lor. never finish her milk cry n cry. so rock her pad her until sleep then continue to finish her milk.

For afternoon feed also try feed when sleeping. If not sleeping must see her mood. Good mood will guai guai drink. If not, hands will push push, tongue will push push. Haiz. Push until pek chey cry cry cry. So wait awhile continue the milk give when she's laying. Try all sorts of position. If you think end of the day bb drink lesser, so increase the volume for those feed when bb is sleeping soundly. We got to be patience right now... it will be very difficult in feeding.
 
lattelover,
u can call clinic up to ask.. if not if u dun mind wasting a trip.. u can bring her down den the pd will assess the bb conditions b4 jab..
 
Hi Leng2, i staying 659. If u come here, call/sms me so maybe we can meet for kopi session. I bring my boy to the GP @ 117 for his jabs.
 
soyabean,
it my stupid MIL again! hb called me to say bb only drank 1/2 of her usual feed..then i say feed her a little later lah...well u know wat he replied?

"my mum says you tell her to throw away the milk if she nvr finish"...

wa lau how dumb can someone be? i mean throw away yes if its after an hr..not when my bb doesn;t want to drink!!! bcos alot of times my bb also stopped drinking halfway usually is either she needs to sleep/burp/poos...

so meaning MIL nvr find out the cause of her fussying and decides to throw my precious BM away?

she still dare to say "aiya i take care u dun worry, i used to do this to the other grand children too... i almost wanna scold !@#!%#$@!!!!

i swear tat i will get her to update me of my bb's behaviour every nite when i go over to fetch her...

really hated it!
 
feifei,

Most likely cause i see many of u encounter same problem too. I also scare bb get choked but I saw someone here mention she also feed when bb laying down. Forgotten who mention it.
happy.gif
The best is carry bb sleep and when sleep soundly, push the teat into her mouth so no need feed when laying down.
 
Just to ask mummies who r doing full/partial FM, how much your bbs drinking now?

My boy today 13wks drinking 150ml of Similac, is that too little or too much? He drinks every 4hrs whether BM or FM, last feed at 9pm then wakes up once btw 3.30am to 5.30am.
 
shycloud,

mayb u or your hb try telling her not to throw 1st, must check c is it bb sleep/burp/poo. Initially my FIL also blur blur throw the FM away,then hb &amp; i told him so now ok.
 
shycloud...
cool down... i can totally understand ur plight... cos i experienced that kind of sillyness when i was doing confinement oso. and yes... if i were u, i will get her to report baby's behaviour me at the end of the day oso...
*hug hug*
 
mag,
my boy oso 150ml similac now.. 14wks old.. i oso wonder ok anot.. tinking of increase to 180ml.. but he dun seem to be hungry after 150ml.. so nvr increase yet.
 
Mummies who r still BF must all perservere especially those who r FTWM. Must think of bb even 1 drop will benefit our bb.

Since I'm a SAHM after confinement, i haven't been pumping cos I dun want to stress myself. My FIL/mum will give FM if I'm not around to latch bb. As long as he dun cry for more milk &amp; can poo normally then I bo chap liao.

I've been giving my bb 30-60ml of water as well as 1 dose of "jing feng san" daily after his bath. Any1 still give jing feng san?
 
soyabean,
she really gets on my nerves manz!!!
i must be more firm this time rd.

i safely let her take care of my bb since she got experience but hor watever things she do, sometimes very nonsensical and superstitious.

aiyo...me wanna vomit blood liao..just thinking abt it!!!
 
Ellysia - my girl is off the charts :p hope she will continue to be active and burn some fats off.

Mag Kline - my girl drinks about 500 ml of EBM and 500-600ml of FM a day. She asks for milk every 2 hrs or so, but we usually drag for 3 hrs between feeds. Each feed about 150-160 ml. She usually drinks about 200ml from 8.30-10.30pm, before she is willing to go to sleep.

shycloud - All MILs are a bit odd. My MIL is a kind lady, but even then, she gets on my nerves sometimes. She is taking care of 2 other grandchildren so she thinks she knows everything. Luckily my mum is the one taking care of my girl now. Easier to talk to her and ask her to do things in certain ways that my hubby and I prefer.
 
sharon,
i tried feeding when she sleeps but hor she wun drink leh somemore will wake up. she refuses to open her mouth!
 
shycloud,
same here.. once my boy drink n slept.. no matter hw i wake him he oso dun hiew me.. so i tot he will suck n drink in his slp.. but who koes.. yes he suck.. buttttt he dun swallow! n the milk kept flowing out of his mouth.. wahaha.. den faster pull out.. once pull out he refused to open mouth liao.. give up!
