Dropping hair
tell me about it! Just discovered it lately, whenever I comb my hair... shucksssss a bunch of hair leaving me and run away with the comb. haizz According to an article at babycenter, it's ok and it will go back to normal soon.

I'm using Neril hair tonic and massage it to my hair. Hopefully it works.

Michelle,
I've got no surge in milk ss. I think it's going to end very soon (like in a few days).

Blessed thistle- heard it's good if taken with fenugreek. how long is the shipping. I want, but scared when the item arrives, my milk ss gone liao.

Oh my RHS,
Your bb is super cute with the red devil hoodie!
 
Michelle,
Thanks dear. My bb dun wan to latch.. My first one also. For my first girl, although she didn't latch, I kept pumping and I had a lot of supply, hence able to give EBM till 9 months. This time also no latching, kept pumping, but my supply is not much.
 
Hannahl

The leftover of milk in the parts will mix together with our fresh BM. You can keep monitoring. For me, even I only pump twice a day, I don’t have much time to wash and sterilize. I prefer not to wash, once we wash, have to wash thoroughly. If I wash in a hurry got soap residue, how?

I ordered 1 item each from iherb to fully utilize $5 off.
happy.gif
I ordered 3 items got 3 shipments lor.

SDchick
Hugs. Do you use the same brand of pump for #1 and #2? I am wondering that whether different brand of pump will give different output.

Star,
I used Avent manual pump for #1. for #2, since it's been so long, i had to throw away my avent pump. So I bought Medela manual pump. It's pretty ok, and the yield is about 50-60 ml per session (during 1st month). So I thought hmmm maybe if use avent can yield more. so I kiasu bought a new avent pump. Well it indeed gave me more, like 70ml per session.. but then my milk ss decreased drastically. So I guess it's not the pump, but my ss got problem. Haven't tried electric one though. Aiya I doubt if use electric one my ss will be up.. hiks dun want to waste money when your ss is down to 20 ml for whole day.

Mummies going for NE gathering/bishan gathering - I have loose pieces of pigeon breast pads (indiv wrapped) - I think still got 10 pieces - I can pass to anyone who wants them. Just pm me ok.

Qing,

PB
Yup, fenugreek more troublesome that's why i switch to domperidone.. i lazy too...
 
star_xin,
I bought neril hair tonic at the chinatown shop which sells a lot of toiletries. I think swanston also have, maybe guardian also.

Fiona
*pat pat* I hope you feel better. Just have a lot of rest. Tell your hubby to tell your mom that you're drowsy under the medication, so appreciate her to help out as much as possible.

Aww I drank fenugreek 3 capsules 3 times a day also no use. haizzz Hated taking it since the capsule is sooo big.
 
Frisco1 chope-ed for Smiggleprincess!
Smiggle,
Since your Simei place is so near my mum's place in Tampines, I will drop the one tin off to you nx time I go to my mum's for dinner. Shd be nx nx Sunday dinner bah. Will sms u okie.

I was wondering - what does fenugreek or blessed thistle taste like? Is it very herby? like chinese herbs?

RHS,
That's a v cute pix of bb Jamie!
 
PB,
can try what LC taught me last time my nnp was bleedg... soak them in warm salt water to heal and sterilise. Quite amazing, that time, within one day heal already. Use the medela milk collection shells to soak lor, then u dun hafta bend over a bowl!

Hello... stalker sparrows reporting in after a long time mia-ing :p

Too bad i couldn't make it for the previous gathering but the photos made me really gian to order the Bumper mat
happy.gif
The BP is going on now if any of you mommies are interested.

Since BF is not going well for me, I have decided to let go some milk bags. I bought them in June this year while visiting Germany. The webpage for the bags is: http://www.elanee.de/en/products/breast-milk-storage-bags.html
I have 4 boxes, each has 20bags. Am letting go at $5 a box. Would prefer to just send it to 1 address so it's $20 for all including postage. Sorry, i can't remember how much i bought it for. PM if interested.

I'm still taking Fenugreek, 2 pills 3x a day but i only get less than 20ml per pump every 4 hours. sigh, see so little, i might just give up soon.
 
SDchick,
me is about there too lah, still trying to disfigure breasts just to get some extra drops! keke. but i just got my period today, so i don't know what that means. meanwhile, like PB used to say, will just make do with dessert.
 
RHS,

Lovely picture! Love your boy's expression. Looking like an angel in a devil's costume! CUTE!

Did you take the pictures yourself or you went to have it professionally taken?
 
Hi SD Chick,

I'm a July mummy too but been a passive reader..hehe. Your baby dun latch. I'm exclusively pumping too and I have supply problem too. Trying many ways to increase ss - frequent pumps, fenugreek, goat's rue, papaya soup and even nursing tea but i dun much increase in ss.

And I also very paiseh my milk is the least in my workplace BM fridge
sad.gif
 
Sparrow,
Disfigure breast!!! OMG That's what I've been doing too haahhaha...

Deep Red,
Yar my bb dun latch. whenever I tried to latch her she will cry until not breathing lor. I only have 2 times successful latch during the first month, and she only use nnp as pacifier. after those 2 times, I have been successful. *sobs*

I know! mine also.. lucky not many people in office so kiasu want to see. hahaha.
 
re helper:

Went there today to collect her HP and asked her to wait outside while I talked to them ‘about money matters’. Actually about her la. Apparently our package was $299 for agency fees and states that we have to have a maid for 7 months. We are entitled to 2 more changes if we want. If I want to terminate altogether, then I have to ‘upgrade’ to another package, $398, which allows me to terminate within 1 month.

So the $2400 that I paid, minus whatever salary to my helper, minus $398. That is what I will get back if I terminate. So now considering la. But at least I know my options. It will be hard to let go of a clean house and cooked meals and clean dishes though. Hmmm.

CS i cannot transfer to you... it's not allowed

ok girls talk later. dinner!
 
hehe look at my bb, she loves looking at by #1 bday cake a couple of days ago. afterwards, when we did family pic together, she was still looking intently at it. Lols

Michelle,
We borrowed the devil suit from a friend, they got it as a gift from their overseas friend.

Fiona,
*hugs* Hope you feel better soon! Maybe you can ask hubby to speak to your MIL?

Qing,
No worry, babies will drop their downy hair and then new one will grow. My bb's both side now also a bit botak coz he's dropping hair everyday. Of coz I also got itchy finger sometimes and scratch his cradle cap which contributes to his botak-ness!

PB, Batgirl,
We took the pics at home! Hubby is a hobbyist photographer so he's happily snapping pictures whenever he can.

Garfield,
Yes!! LC can check what could be the cause your bb refuses to latch.

SDChick,
Your bb's expression is sooooo funny!
 
Sdchick
I love that pic! It is hilarious!!!!!!!!

RHS
Your hubby should do photog on the side; he is really good!!! Lucky you. Mine ah, I am the photographer at home. I sometimes have to beg hubby to take pics of poppy and i, if not all of poppy’s pics will only have her or her and him :|

Girls!
My MIL just told me that we should stay away from choc cos it causes baby to fart a lot!!!!

Sparrows
Welcome back! Post pic of sebi leh. Poppy wants to see her boyfriend!!!
 
SDChick,
ya, Sebi frets alot when i try to latch him too. if i do it before feeding, he'll cry cos there's not much milk coming out. If i do it towards the end, he bochap... :/


PB
Here's a not-so-friendly pic of sebi :p ... he's sleepy everytime we bring him to the pool! by the end of the session, he koon liao. think the water is too warm. Perhaps we will not use the float so often the next few times... hehe. I also got the swim bumwear, the kind that can trap his poo.. will use that next time.
1840867.jpg
 
wow sparrows..sebi looks cool..very steady

btw sparrows,
does ur bb swim in pte or public pools? cos heard from my colleagues tt public swim pools dun allow d use of swim diapers...
just wanna check b4 i buy any swim diapers for cayden since there's ongoing bumwear sale now.. thanks!!
 
cherly

who say swimming pool cannot use swim diaper ??? me and my friends and my SILs are using it for so long already. where got such rule ??? funny leh
 
cin_bunny
actually we brought him to the jacuzzi, the water there's alot warmer. also, when we switch on the water jets, Sebi will just go with the flow of the water. He doesn't really kick much. He's using a normal suit. I don't really know when i can start him on just his trunks. Perhaps when he's abit older. Have you started bringing Sophie to the pool?

Cheryl
We brought Sebi to a private pool. I didn't use any actual diapers on him altho I saw some swim diapers from Mothercare. The one from bumwear is like this thin plastic material that's supposed to trap his poo. But his poo is quite watery so i dun know how effective it is. The only consolation we have is that we know when he's gonna poo cos then he grunts and makes that wierd red face. Anyways, we're not in the pool that long, just about 10 min or so. Hmm, i wonder why public pools dun allow swim diapers tho.
 
SDChick
no one was in the room with me except for my hubby.
i have already told him to go outside to take before it was full.
but don know what he do la.
took so long.
and who knows where the LC went.
i was planning to stop pumping and wait for some1 to come in one.
and who knows again that she is just next door with the other patient.
the curtain is drawn loh.

garfield
yes they will.
the LC was teaching the lady next door how to breastfeed.
heehee.

do1nk
got L size one?

RHS
lucky, bb rachel one is behind her ear.
so cant really spot them.
 
cherly,
very funny.
cant use swin diapers.
but i feel that as long as the poo poo is trap inside the diaper ok what.
peepee, some ppl also pee in the pool.
