I think better let your bb use the drypers which you have already bought first and decide if you want to continue with the brand cos scared the cutting too small and also dont know what will be your bb's weight. Get your hubby to go buy if need more. Dont worry.
lili, littlebluey & Phtanus
Agree. Alto "no charge" but somehow already incoporated in the hospital bill le.</font>

phtanus>> heard is not advisable to feed baby anything else if u hope to TBF, juz put baby at breast to stimulate milk production. but if u really wanna FM in hospital, they provide FM too.
icylemon,mousebb>>yup yup do share with us how ur older chil reacts, so next time we know how to handle too!

Rachel's mum & Jess,
U r right, cabbage leaves can be used to stop the milk flow. But according to Mrs. Wong and online info, it is quite effective to reduce breast swelling and engorgement by applied chilled cabbage leaves on breast for only 10-15mins! Not longer than that, else will affect milk supply.

Good morning mummies!
lili,
yup, gnc sells fenugreek too. At the bb bathing.breastfeeding classes the trainer mentioned that TMC parentcraft sale price is cheaper for the fenugreek.
mousebb,
I know what you mean about feeling upset if baby was not near us. Which was why I was very upset when I was initially given a room on 4th flr cos that's the pediatric ward and new babis are placed in the 3rd flr nursery. I'd rather give up the newly renovated room and move to a older room to be close to baby.
TMC service
The level of service is truly commendable they did all they could to help. The rep from TMC was visiting my gynae and even sent me to the hospital when I was told i needed to be admitted for my high bp. She made sure all our needs were met and even visited us everday. The nurses also very nice and helpful. As I was a little upset that my milk had not come in, they made me hot milo and consoled me. 5 stars for their personable attitude and great service!
Milkflow...
Experienced mummies, any tips and advice on BF? I still dun see substantial milkflow. My baby is already 1 week old but I think I only still see colustrum. I am supplementing her feeds with formula. Going to try pumping today to see if milk supply increases. The weird thing is I dun feel engorged. Pls help!

Phtanus,
oh, 10-15mins only?? hmmm.. i must go and recheck my notes again.. hahaa.. attending the BMSG workshop, n i tot its few hours.. kakakaka..
the busy bee,
did u latch ur baby on ur breasts? our breasts produce milk as per demand.. and if u latch on more often, it will trigger the breasts to know that they need more milk, and thus, more milk will flow... *i'm not experienced, but this is what i've learnt from the workshops and from books* hope it helps!

Forest,
Yup I latch on baby for every feed. She suckles for about 5 to 10 mins on each breast and cries ( i believe cos no milk and she is hungry). I will then give her formula. I am afraid if the milk supply dun build up soon it will dwindle to a point where I can't breastfeed anymore and have to give Mikayla formula only. Sigh...

check out KKH's service... might be cheaper - for a lactation consultant to come to your place for a visit.

forest:
I oso tot of sterilising the pump. but a bit lazy to do so. Got to open so many tings and later got to keep again. haiz.. Mayb u would like to keep in a ziploc bag after sterilising. Then dun have to sterilise again.
RE: Engorgement
I heard we cant put the cold cabbage for too long if not, we will have no milk forever le.
Busybee:
I hear the nursing milk tea does help. I ordered online and it will take some time to arrive. Do take fenugreek meanwhile.
RE: fenugreek
GNC selling $29.90 here. If u were to get from Drugstore ( USA) it cost $20 including shipping. I've ordered mine. By the time it arrives, I should have pop liao. So, mummies, u may want to order from the overseas spree to buy fenugreek and nursing milk tea now to prepare urself.

Icylemon... why too early. Ur gals is already showing signs of jealousy. u better prepare her early. Like ask her to sayang ur tummy, tell her that there'll be someone to play with her soon etc. And on the day of delivery/bring baby home, coz all attention will be on baby, dun neglect Rachel. Maybe can get a present for her.

Dont worry too much. If need be, take the bb out earlier is also a good choice cos can let the bb drink milk. At least when bb is out, you can take control over the situation rather than have the bb in the tummy w/o knowing what is happening. Be positive

could it be that bb is not suckling well. When i deliver my #1, Mrs Wong pop by to see how i doing with bf-ing. and she told me tat some babies dun really suckle well. i didnt ask her further cos i have no prob with my boy. another is, is baby position at the correct position when bf-ing? u may wanna check with the lactation consultant if after u try pumping, milk do come in. the more u pump or the more u bring bb to ur breast, the more milk will come in.....so relax urself...too stress out will hinder milk supply too. If u find that when bb suckle, no milk but when pump, milk do flow out, u may wanna consider pumping. Its after all drinking the BM be it latchin on or pumping. ultimate aim is to let the bb drink BM which is good for them. Remember, dun be too concern abt the amt of milk, something is better than nothing. just relax and try on....milk will come in soon.
Re: fenugreek
it doesnt work for me le. i tried during my #1 tat time cos i wannna try increase the amt but it doesnt seems to work for me
