dongle,
yea. long life. hahahah.
celyn,
u have so much from 1 oct .. wa.
But can Yu Ze finish so much if u keep storing?
I still have that age old question - why u dun feed him fresh EBM totally? since u have so much.
FBM does not have antibodies, only nutrients left. The whole purpose of us doing breastfeeding is to give them the antibodies so they can be stronger ... so why not?
Sometimes i even wonder if there is any good giving them FBM but since pple say got nutrients.
how much do u give him for his feed from your leftover from the pump?
If not sufficient then u give FBM?
yea. long life. hahahah.

Celyn,
i mean the rest of the feed - that u are not feeding EBM .... the leftover from the pump enough is it? So much .... what u gonna do when it expires in the 3rd month?
For those in the normal freezer, if after 3 months, still can use to do facial? I have 1 big bottle which was there since initial month - dunno what to do with it and not thrown away yet.
Normally i will pump and keep aside one bottle of 150ml at room temperature and then wait for his need feed to feed him. If he does not wake up and i pump again, i will keep the new EBM for him and put the previous one in the fridge for his day feed when i am not at home.
If I have extra extra in fridge then i freeze 1 packet. Slowly accumulate one ... but the old one in fridge seldom use ... once in a blue moon like when i go out really late then may have to use one.
So far KAI had been taking fresh EBM - but never fresher than those direct latching. That's the best ba.

shint,
i don't think he is drinking 1 oct fbm lah. could be mid or end oct liao or even early nov now.
the leftover from pump each session is about 20-60ml. so i will combine 2 or 3 sessions one together for him loh. that's when he got the fresh ebm. by the time he come back on weekdays, he will only get 2 feeds, once fresh ebm at home and oncee fm. then weekends, he will get 2-3 feeds of fresh ebm loh. so far i will use less than 10 bottles of fbm on weekends for his feed.
actually, i also don't know leh. i have been doing this since birth loh. heheh.....
but when we warm fresh ebm, it will also kill all the antibodies right?
krex78,
i didn't see what you want. maybe i'm too late liao. i do see people taking laugh and learn series.

celyn,
good question. i always think that those in the fridge ones are better than FBM.
Does it kill the antibodies? prob so.
1. Fresh Latching - best!
2. Freshly squeezed BM @ room temperature. Got antibodies i think but after 4 hours? still better than fridge ones? anyway this one dun need to warm ....
3. EBM in the fridge compartment (cos we working so no choice) --> need to warm up so antibodies gone oredi?? *** WHO CAN CONFIRM THIS AH.
4. FBM - extra to keep so when we run out of fresh ones, can use this one. No antibodies but has nutrients ...

Are u referring to the playmat which is one whole piece or the jigsaw type?
I got a pooh design jigsaw type.. Hb can't imagine spending >$100 for the playmat which is very popular in the BP
yuuri
Hb was also contemplating if he shd get the jumperoo.. But coz we didn't note the selling price in the malls, he cldn't quite decide if the price was really attractive

<font color="aa00aa">Shint,
I think if I didn't recall wrongly, the best temperature to warm up EBM is 40 degree celsius. I remember reading from the instructions of the Pigeon warmer and from attending the Pigeon seminar held at Marriott hotel the other time. It was instructed that 40 degrees will not kill the antibodies and nutrients present in our BM.
What I do is to prefix my warmer at 40 degrees then heat up the BM for 15-20 mins. I alternate between feeds. First feed is latch-on, next feed is EBM from the fridge and so on and so forth.</font>

<font color="aa00aa">I jotted this down for my reference during the seminar conducted by Pigeon and Sister Kang from Mount Alvernia back then:
Duration to store BM:
Room temperature - 4 hours
Cooler (meaning normal fridge) - 24 hours
4 degree celsius (fridges that can adjust to this setting) - 48 hours
Freezer - 3 months
Deep freezer - 6 months</font>

Today baby super cranky. Sigh...she actually refused to latch on, prefer to take bottle. Luckily, after taking bottle, she ok with breast. Dun know if my flow too slow for her. Sigh...
hisstory
Thanks. Have followed your advice. White spot seems to be slowly going off. Yeah, super painful when baby latch on or when I pump. But I think getting better.
valnsw
What kind of oats did your mother use? Those instant one or quick cook type? Did your baby like it? Think I gotta start reading up on baby food liao.
Shint & celyn
So envious. Got so much milk. Me trying very hard to keep the flow, but she seems to be taking more and more leh.
Mummies, any idea on how to increase milk supply hah? My left side super low- like only about 20 to 30 ml. Right side still ok, about 100 to 120 ml.

Smurfette,
Thanks for sharing.
So far I had set the temperature 1 notch higher than the volume of milk for the Avent IQ warmer.
Cos when i set exactly, the milk sometimes is still cold.
I tot different settings is for different level of milk?
Not sure if it kills the antibodies oredi.
U mean even if it is in the fridge (not freezer), the antibodies are still present?
Room temperature - i know it is normally recommended at 4 hours, but i read it can last up 6 hours so i oso did give to KAI before those 6 hours milk.
I normally put my milk in the normal fridge compartment for up to 2 days ... only 1 day u mean?
