Good morning, ladies! How r all of ya?
It's been a while since i posted..have been following the threads, but everytime i want to post, BB Linus takes the cue to wake and scream for milk or something. sigh...
re: water retention
I suffered fm water retention in the first 10 days after delivery too. My CL made red bean soup cooked with black sugar as teatime dessert for me. To couple with sleeping with my legs propped up on pillows above pelvic level...somehow it worked.
re: Maternity Leave
here's the official PR from MCYS website : <http://app.mcys.gov.sg/web/corp_speech_story.asp?szmod=corp&szsubmod=speech&qid=5722>
"The Bill is scheduled to come into effect on 31 October 2008. The Government will also reimburse its share to employers who voluntarily grant their employees the enhanced leave from 17 August 2008, even before the enhancements are made mandatory through legislation." Hope tis info helps.
btw, anyone got advice on how to care for a bb with congested nose? BB Linus has had a congested nose since last wed, brought him to the PD but was oni prescribed saline nasal spray, it helped a bit. However, his nose is still blocked leh, anyone got any methods to share? please advise.

hi mummies,
my feet also swollen like pig trotters. it's been a little over 2 weeks now and it's still swollen. haven't told my gynae yet. i hope that it would go away soon.
my baby also always vomit. scared that something is wrong. but by SIL say it's normal for baby to vomit cause sometimes they overfeed.

For mommies with vomitting/ regurgitation babies, especially vomitting when being burped.
I have something to share which I used on my boy and it worked. My CL taught me one...
Ok, first of all, when you are feeding, place your palm/hand/whatever at the belly - you should be able to feel milk going down his belly. Once you can't feel milk swooshing down, you gotta stop feeding and burp baby. After baby, continue feeding with palm on belly. You should feel milk gushing down again. Repeat until feed is finished.
This method works for me. My boy don't vomit. Apparently, if a burp is not removed before more milk is being swallowed, the milk stays at the oesophagus area, not being able to enter the tummy. So, you must burp before feeding more. If not, once your burp him, whatever milk that is "above" the burp will be vomitted out.
Hope the above is clear and can help you mommies

Jellypurin,
Thanks. I've been told by my SIL that no need to keep waking baby up every 3hrs to feed. They will wake up by themselves if they are hungry. I tried it yesterday. My baby doesn't vomit as much anymore.
Whitepaper,
I'll try that one. But still having a hard time burping my baby. Sometimes try for so long still no burp. How do you burp your baby? I tried the sitting position with hand on chin one and the hand on arm.. not so effective. I tried the put on shoulder one.. not so effective either. My SIL just thought me to put over lap. Will try next time I feed if all else fails.

my bottles are exactly the same as what u described. i dun think its the case of over sterilising.
whitepaper
i will try that. my ger is super impatient. if i dun give her the bottle, she will scream, so i only purb her after her feed, not in between. so to say, it is better to burp every now and then just so that the air is cleared from their oesophagus

Whitepaper, im trying to think how to adopt your method to prevent Bryan frm vomitting. But hor when i feed him, i rest him on my arm and the other hand hold the btl. How to use the other hand to put on his belly? My hand cannot reach leh as supporting his neck/head

I dont wake my gal up for feeding. I only feed on demand. These 2 days she like a bit 'crazy', only drank 530-540ml! Her intake is like reducing each day! Also skipped her night feed for the last 3 nights! Hope this will maintain and I can do away with her night feed. Hehehe!!!</font>

Any way to help bb with colic? I suspect wenmin is having colic and these few nights she has been crying for hours! Besides rubbing some ru yi oil onto her tummy, I dont know what to do le. Feel so helpless when I see her kept screaming and crying non-stop. My hubby was so angry with her! </font>

I let him rest his head on my arm, but I can still extend my palm to touch his belly. To do this, Bryan may have to face slightly forward (from your perspective), instead of horizontally. Hope you get what I mean? Also, try to prop up his head/ incline his body more, so that garvity brings the milk down to his tummy.
Must be patient with this method. After a while, you'll get the hang of it.

I have a booklet on new born babies by my PD here. It says to try the following if your baby has colic:
1. cuddle and gently rock your baby when she cries
2. a care ride for 10-15mins
3. infacol drops (a.k.a. ridwind)
4. ru yi oil
5. some babies seem to be less colicky when they are taken off cow's milk formula. a change to soy formula for 2 weeks is worthwhile trying
6. food to avoid if breastfeeding, which causes gas: cabbage, beans, diary products, nuts

I use my legs too. My arm will support his head, and this arm will rest on one of my thighs (which is raised/ bent at 90 degrees). Then his bum and legs will rest on my other thigh, which I will lower, so that his entire body is inclined.
Hope you get the picture? Like that your arms won't ache. Oh yah I sit on a stool to make the posture easier.

Thanks for the info. Have tried method 1 and 4 le. In fact she was crying so badly last night and I suggested to my hubby to bring her on a car ride but he refused. He said worry it would become her habit! *angry!* Since I still have a number of packs ebm in the freezer and I dont want to keep for too long, wenxuan is now on almost total ebm! Partly bcos wenmin is drinking lesser now and also bcos whenever she cries for milk, my hubby would prepare fm for her cos he claimed that ebm must take time to warm up!
Whitepaper, xinying
I dont dare to be too happy now cos this maybe temporary and wenmin will be asking for her nightfeed again?
LAst time what I did to train wenxuan to sleep thru the night was to let him have fm on his last feed of the day before we put him to bed. I also increased his milk intake by another 10-30ml cos at that time he was really a milkaholic! </font>

mummies, i got this few tips from my massage lady *quite interesting when she told me*
1) try to keep ur legs close or crossed as much as possible for first 2mths *like tat vagina walls can regain the tightness*
2) wear bra don wear too loose *else will have sagging breast*
3) resume intercourse only after at least 1.5mths but best is 2mths cos tats abt the duration for the vagina walls to "settle down"
4) don drink cold water
5) if don keep binding on till following morning do not eat after removing.
jus in case any mummies here like me so "ai mei"

Wah Wenxuan snatching Wenmin's EBM ar??? hahaha
For Ch, he's drinking 1200ml to 1350ml daily now. And he's on total EBM most of the days. Sometimes we give him 1 feed of FM. And also give him FM when he screams for milk like 1 hour after his feed... his way of snacking lah. And you won't know how mush he will snack... last time give him EBM for snack and he can't finish! so wasted! So for snack, I give FM so won't xin tong if throw away...

Whitepaper, i got from others that they feed their kids water during the night when their babies cry for milk. After some time, baby will not wake cos they know that there is no milk.
As for the burping, there will be signs that the baby has air in him. So look out for those signs. My baby around 3 weeks now.

I thought PDs do not recommend giving water to babies less than 6 months old? Research has shown that excess water can cause brain damage in babies. PD usually say that water in BM and FM is already sufficient for babies less than 6 months old.

hi mommies,
help. my baby hates the expensive sling pouch i bought..
today brought her down to the clinic for her 6 in 1, jab ok but sling not ok, seems like the maya pouch may be too hot for her or issit because first time, she'ld need some time to get used to it.. can't tuck her legs in either. she'ld grunt the whole house down in fury, so her legs dangle out and breathe like mangrove roots. trying to find a better position for her, she likes to be sprawled on my chest shoulder position best.
enya, HALP.
i'm going to have horlicks tonight, the milo not yielding enough results for me. now slowly night time before her formula feed, i can express max 130 ml from both sides, my aim is 200 ml from both sides. har har har.. then i'ld go buy bags.
ya mommies, u've not given me your opinions.
i'm planning a 9 day trip away in mid jan, supposedly she takes in about 100-120 ml per feed at 3 months plus, she feeds about 7-8 times a day which means i'ld need to put aside 5 bags (210 ml blue egg) of milk per day and let the rest be supplemented by formula. which means i'ld need to freeze 50 bags of milk by january.
hmmmmm
ehheheahaeheheahehaehaeahehae
sigh, i was hoping to buy a manual pump to bring with me to clear the milk and keep the production going.
u reckon can be done? or mission impossible. ok ok.. maybe more feeds to be supplemented by formula. even if i cut it by half. give her 4-5 feeds of ebm per day, i'ld still need to prepare 3 bags per day, which means 27-30 bags in the freezer by january.
ambitiously hoping to feed her until 6 months on ebm, i mean.. then why the hell did i buy the stupid dual electric pump and sit there like a stinkin cow for an hour for right? if i don't at least give her breastmilk for awhile longer.
sorry, feeling touchy. i'm tired, i can't sleep, my hair looks like a nest, i look like a bloody yellow face housewife, i'm in batik housecoats all the time, my ass has grown, i may not graduate, i may be jobless, i can't apply for a job now because i cannot exactly go for an interview, i'ld need to serve 2 months notice anyway. i'm tired of staying at home.. and i was hoping the sling will be my excuse out and she doesn't like the sling.
i know.. just need to air my grievances.
need. ice-cream. sigh..

There is no hard and fast rule. Cos FF is more saturated. When I give FF, i can see baby having dry lips. Baby will cue you. If they do not want to drink, then they will spit out the teat. So no worries. Are there any studies that show that water cause brain damage? If there is, please let me have the link.
Just have to be careful, as water is more smooth-flowing, then baby will tend to drink a lot faster and more with the same strength he uses to drink FF. If BF, then i believe no need water. Cos the foremilk actually quenches the thirst.

pildough,
Yes horlicks can help you hit 200ml. It helped me.. heehee!
Anyway, buy the manual pump so that you can pump and prevent engorgement.
Pump whatever you can before you go your holiday. Once your caregiver finishes the supply of ebm, she can start on formula for your bb.

I have ice cream in the fridge but not a drop to eat. Cos its rum and raisin and enough rum for a sailor. Not desperate enuff for kate to get sloshed thru the milk... So none fer me. Sigh.
I think giving her half ebm whilst u r away might work? Not so stressful to stockpile. As for pumping when away u must have fridge there. And flight can't be too long otherwise will spoil rite?
but regardless u must pump otherwise its bye bye supply.
My gal also dun like sling. Or I just suck at slinging. Have good mind to bring kid and sling to MIM to get them to teach me. Haiz all the things I thot were no brainers turn out not straightforward.
Gals,
thanks for the feedback on pumping bottles.
On pumping ,
sth to share to encourage u-- dunno whether its the fenugreek or just as time passes, my supply is increasing! Now got average of 100ml each pump. When I miss a session, eg pump after 6 hours instead of 3 I can get abt 170. So don't give up! Ss can increase over time!
I have ice cream in the fridge but not a drop to eat. Cos its rum and raisin and enough rum for a sailor. Not desperate enuff for kate to get sloshed thru the milk... So none fer me. Sigh.
I think giving her half ebm whilst u r away might work? Not so stressful to stockpile. As for pumping when away u must have fridge there. And flight can't be too long otherwise will spoil rite?
but regardless u must pump otherwise its bye bye supply.
My gal also dun like sling. Or I just suck at slinging. Have good mind to bring kid and sling to MIM to get them to teach me. Haiz all the things I thot were no brainers turn out not straightforward.
Gals,
thanks for the feedback on pumping bottles.

My friend ever got scolded by her PD for offering water to her boy, who's on FM. The PD says the water we use to make FM is already sufficient, and no other water intake is neccesary. But think you are right, babies will cue us with dry lips etc.
For the brain damage thingy, it was mentioned in the news last year, before my pregnancy. It is a research done by dunno who lar. But of coz, it's just results from a research lor, not totally proven, I guess.
