Have A Blessed Christmas to All Octobers mummies & family !! ...
Morning
Dimpletot,
I don't wana stop my milk supply. Just want to have just enough and no need to pump out.
Jenny,
I think my ducts finally cleared! But my breast is still pain when I press on that area. So not sure is it due to too hard and too much massage or still got some ducts not cleared? Yeah, I always question myself on breastfeeding when I have this problem. But as you said, it is for the boy and when I see him suckling happily, seems that it is all worth it.
lh_jyc,
Yeah, feeling much better now. I thought if you pump, then will not get blocked ducts. I went parentcraft before, and it was so pain that I was tearing when the consultant massaged for me! Anyway, I am overseas now, and did not manage to find any lactation consultant here.
mummies,
Since the birth of my boy, I have not bought anything for myself except a pair of jeans cause I can't fit into my old one. I feel so deprived. Beside no time to shop with the boy around, I also don't know what to buy cause I feel my tummy is so big and flabby, there is no nice and nursing-friendly top. And since I am not working, most of the time I am at home, so don't need so much clothings? But it feels kinda sian.

Hi, Skylar has been using the No.3 teat since she was 2 months old, she is a very impatient gal especially when she is hungry cos the lesser hole teats can't give her the milk fast enough.

icylemon, lili, Gionna,
My boy's 2months old...guess I can start him on No.3 teat since he's a very impatient boy and I think my milk flow when I direct latch is faster than te No.2 teat...shall get No.3 later as it's frustrating to feed and coax every feeding when using bottle...

pinkimum and jenny, i had blogged ducts when breastfeeding my firstborn last time too. I consulted lactation consultant and she taught me how to massage. massage or do hot compress only before you pump or feed. u prob know where ur block duct is from the red/not red lump on your boob that hurts when u press it, so massage that lump, then slowly massage in a straight line from that lump to your aerola. than hold the aerola in between ur fingers and massage gently. idea is to clear the entire passage of the milk ducts for the milk to flow freely. jenny, ur boobs hard even after pumping and no milk come out probably coz the duct is blocked so u have to clear it first like what i said above. it could also be because its so engorged the pump cannot "latch" properly to the breast. so when u are doing the massage above, ur breast may soften a bit and some milk may leak out, then ur pump or baby's mouth can latch better. u try?
pinkimum, i latch on baby and only fed bottle 3 times so far, she is 8.5weeks old. i dun generally pump after latching her. the reason why ppl pump after latching is :
1. when they need to store milk for outings, when mommy not around, when mommy going back to work
2. when going back to work soon, so gotta establish pumping schedule so that boobs know when to produce milk and get boobs used to the pump.
3. to increase supply when supply low.
4. to prepare for those episodes of growth spurt when they suddenly increase their milk demand
5. for me, i pump once a day, usually after the morning feed, coz I wish to maintain a slightly higher supply than what my baby needs, and also at night sometimes i drink DOM, so i need a spare bottle in case she wakes up unscheduled.
If you are pumping to ease engorgement, than you do not really need to pump after feeding. if you do that, you are telling ur body u need more milk than what ur baby is feeding. so natually ur body produce even more milk, more and more at next feed and it continues to blocked or be painful. perhaps u can try massaging before pumping or feeding like what i said above, but if u pump, pump only to ease engorgement. then slowly daily pump less and less. until ur ss is just right for baby, and perhaps a bit more.
hope this helps....
breastfeeding mommies, do jia you and dun be disheartened. its tiring but its worth it...

hi bbgoh, i will try to pump every day at work at 11.30am and 3.30pm. coz in the morning before i leave i will pump, and when reach home i will latch. so the stimulation is every 4 hours once i start work.... hope to get a meeting room. i was able to get one most times with my first one, but now office less mtg room sliaoz, so crossing my fingers when i go back in feb. i am using Avent manual pump, so its easy. bring the pump in a lock lock box, assembled. pump oredi, wsh with baby detergent, rinse with boiling water, assemable for next session. put bottle of milk in my own mini bar i bought for this purpose coz my office fridge super dirty.
Merry Xmas MOMMIES and BABIES!

Why is everybody wishing Merry Christmas? I went to ask my husband if today is Christmas. My gal said,"Oh, bcos someone first said 'merry christmas', so others follow."
Jenny,
I once pumped at 3am, some time last week. The result was very disheartening - only a few pathetic drops. I was so angry I poured whatever little there was away. I almost wanted to stop pumping bcos of that experience. I also read that we must rest well to increase supply, so I decided to sleep until I happy, rather than struggle to wake up at wee hours just to pump that few pathetic drops.
pinkimum,
I also haven't bought myself anything after the birth of my baby. My mother asked me to go buy some CNY clothes but I told her I'm a size S. If I go buy now, I'll probably have to buy M or maybe even L, which I can't accept. I am a size S, or XS. I refuse to buy M or L.

daisybuttons,
Thanks for the advices, very informative. I still have some frozen ebm, so not intending to store more now. And I seldom pump now. Most of the time I just latched on. Think I need to pump when I am engorged. Hope I will not have blocked ducts again, so painful.
rains,
Same as you, I used to be xs or s. Now when I wear jeans, my tummy tuck out like a tshirt
Joanne,
I also spend whole day carrying my boy and trying to make him sleep. And he doesn't like my chest, only sleeps on daddy's chest.
Breastfeeding mummies,
Is there any food to avoid? I had thai food, tomyam and curry for dinner last night and my boy was fussing last night, not sleeping well. Not sure is it linked.

pinkimum/ jenny,
i also latch usually and only feed EBM when I am out and at night before I sleep. Yea, I have no idea how much Izzy drinks since I latch directly. Plus nowadays she latches for a very short while (she is 11 wks old now) so I also wonder if she drinks enough. Not much of a schedule, usually every 2-3 hrs. same la, i only pump max 2 times a day, nowadays i cannot even wake up at night to pump... sigh..
i realise most nursing tops are sold online - at least the nicer one... i recommend Maternalove (www.maternalove.com/) and MIM (http://www.momsinmind.com.sg/onlinestore.html).
dimpletot, that is why my hubby said mummies r very wei2 da4. benefits of breastfeeding are oft more for others, your bb (better immunity, comfort sucking..), family (save FM). for the mummy, is only weight loss & it can only do so much lar & i think works best for first time mummies (i dun see much weight loss this second time round - i only lost 6kg so far!!).
elchwong, i am still using Sz 1 for my avent bottles. no complains from Izzy!
enya, wah, both babies look so happy! erm, i have decided to get the Caramel Nursing Shawl from you.. I will email you my contact. Sorry for the delay and rush!
