Hannah,
We didn't want to put Jamie through so many painful procedures right after birth. If we can wait a bit longer until his immune system is higher then will be better.
PB,
I can get Jamie to suckle but not without fighting and lots of tears involved (both baby's and mommy's). He will push my chest and struggle even though I know he's hungry. But once he's latched, he will drink only for 2 - 3 minutes and the rest is comfort sucking. I feel that my supply is getting lower because of this, i.e. my breasts don't feels as full now as before
Until now I still resist on using bottle as I don't want to add nipple confusion to the problem.
Poppy is so adorable!! She looks so happy
lbt,
That's 12 - 13 hours a day? Admittedly we didn't put him that long because after 2 sessions (bilibed - feed - bilibed - feed) he got very cranky so we did alternate session (bilibed - feed - sleep outside - feed - bilibed, etc). Now we are wondering if we should rent the bilibed again. I think our PD didn't think it's very serious so she didn't ask us to come back for test.
re: jaundice, water, BM
I also thought we should not give water, only feed BM more often (every 2 hours). I'm in catch-22 situation now. I think Jamie is sleepy (hence lazy sucking) because of his jaundice, but he needs to drink more to clear the jaundice. Haiz ... very frustrating.
Sally,
Baby Marsya has lots of hair and chubby cheeks
So cute!
youpi,
Where do you get the LLL book? Dr Belinda's clinic is in Mt Elizabeth. I think she does inidividual jabs.
Congrats garfield & Phyllis!!
Re: stitches
I don't dare to look as I'm sure it will look so ugly down there. Mine also doesn't sting much when using the lotion. Actually my piles is even more painful than the stitches *argh*
Bluey,
Congrats!! Do update us later ok?
Re: breastfeeding.org
Anyone ever called their hotline? How does it work ah? Thinking of calling and ask about Jamie's sucking problem.
Re: Lactation consultant
Anyone ever engaged Christina Kwek? Any review?
