Enya,
Not sure what is it. PD say it's normal. Dun have to worry.
I suntan bb in the morning. Overdressing, he's normally in a short sleve romper. That's all.

Hello Mommies!
Hello Littlebluey
Glad to know you are coping well with Ashten! I'm also getting sick of confinement food... though my CL can cook quite well. Tonight she's whipping up some western food for me, for a change. Hope will taste good
I weighed myself too... lost about 9kg, also more than what I gained during pregnancy. Can fit into pre-preg clothes already, but aiming to lose more, to go back/near to pre-wedding weight!!! hahaha... starting massage tomorrow, hope weight will go down further (Gynae says sure will!)
Went to see Gynae for follow-up check-up yesterday and she was amazed by my recovery... I was walking faster than her! And I didn't take any painkillers from the time I delivered till now! And scan also shows my uterus is back to pre-preg size (7cm). Stitches also healed. She says I'm very suitable to be pregnant... hahaha... coz also no discomforts during pregnancy... hahaha... dunno whether is this good or not... can give birth like sow...
Everafter
My Gynae says the episiotomy wound will heal in about 1 week from delivery, while the stitches will disappear in about 2 weeks. Have you gone for your gynae follow-up check? Maybe he can check the stitches for you to see if they are healing well? In the meantime, remember to keep the area clean. Gynae says some girls tend to get some minor infection once they start to pass motion... take care!

Yah my CL is good! But of course not perfect lah, got flaws also though I can't think of any major ones. I guess I'm lucky
She had attended classes conducted by Mrs Wong too, so she knows the "correct" practices. *PHEW*
When can you start massage? My colleague who had c-sect did her massage 3 weeks later...
Then must persevere and continue to suntan Ashten hor! Jiayou

hey mummies... do u all clean bb's mouth? Must we clean?? or wait till have teeth then clean??
Whitepaper, wah so fast you already went back to almost pre pregnancy weight. Me still got 1.5kg more to go. Hahaha! Maybe because I din bf, so this rd slower. My uterus also quite slow in shrinking back this rd. That time when I had natural, everythign was fast... even the clearing of lochia. Now my lochia still flowing... damn sianz.
Littlebluey also bagus, lost weight so fast!
As for NUK teats, now i changed all to silicon one. Much better, unlike latex.. at least my gers can suck much better now.

According to Mrs Wong (again! hahaha), we don't have to clean baby's mouth at this stage. It is ok to have milk residue on baby's tongue. But if you prefer to clean it, it's better not to put anything into baby's mouth as he/she might gag and feel uncomfortable. She suggested to feed baby with 1 teaspoon of boiled and cooled down water, just let baby sip from the spoon. This will clear the tongue. Hope this helps
Purebliss
Yah... in fact, I'm lighter now as compared to pre-preg. But of course... I have to lose more to go back to pre-wedding weight! wahahahahaha! You only left 1.5kg, very fast one lar! Sure you can do it! And yes, my lochia flow is rather light... now only left abit... Doc Wong says massage will help discharge the blood too.

hi mummies!
congrats to all those who have delivered!
Oh no, i didn't noe that c-section deliveries would need a while before we can do massage. Told massage lady that i am ready to start after 2 weeks. think i better call her and postpone a while later.
losing weight... so far i had lost 10kg. but initially i was a massive 87kg during my peak at pregnancy. so of coz.. i still have a big tummy now, n i dun even dare to look at my pre-pregnancy clothes. hahaha
Babies Milk Intake
my baby oso drank a lot! until i am very stressed, always try to pull out the milk bottle for him to control his intake. Hes drinking 90ml FM now during each feed! And sometimes he can go hungry again in 2.5 hours! scream and cry like a little terror... but looking at his red face and sobbing makes me so heart pain!
Not to mention if i give him my bm, i think he will faint of hunger coz the ss is oni 30-40ml the max
But today bring baby to see PD, hes gaining weight! Doc says its healthy wt gain, so its okie to give him his milk...wat a relief!
Pacifier
Anyone giving ur baby this gadget? I have surrendered... gave to him to stop him from crying b4 my house collapse.
Whitepaper, can u still recall did mrs wong says anything on why we should not give babies plain water to drink?
i attended her class but cant rem wat she said abt plain water...
Btw, anyone using Avent manual pump?
I am using this but it seems like the expressing is very slow... in fact i gave up and end up using hand to express direct into bottle. Anyone got advice if I am using the pump wrongly?

Hi mummies,
I have popped on the 3rd of October and my baby boi is 11 days old. I am now doing my confinement. Does anyone know if taking ginger will cause jaundice in babies. My baby is on total breastfeeding and his SB level is at 211 today. The level is going down but quite slow.
Polyclinic doctor told us breastfed babies will tend to have jaundice which will take time to go down.But, some friends say it is due to the ginger we take during our confinement.
It is so worrying.

Gwendolyn, the name of the medicine i cannot remember but it starts with "das..." Got to take 2 pills for 2 days. One pill spilt into half to be taken day and nite per time for 2 days. Then 3rd days, the breast really go back to normal size ( pre preggie ) and no more milk supply.

Hello Mommies!
Just back from my last gynae's check-up. Yes, the verdict is out, i will induce on 16th Oct!
Hm...my naughty boy's growth reached plateau , doc said is better to deliver him soon, latest by this Fri. Both gynae and hubby are prefer 16th, so that is my big day! Will admit early in the morning, ard 630am. Hopefully I can sleep the night b4.
Hm...my gynae advise me to opt for epidural upon admission, as she said my case is special. The chances of my bb to distress and poo inside me during labour is high! So if this happen, with epidural, I can be wheeled into Opt theater and c-section immediately, instead of C-sec with GA. Although this against my initial will of natural w/o epi, guess i have not much choice, better listen to my gynae. Meaning that I have no chance to experience the labour pain lay!
Btw, hubby very sweet just now, he decided to upgrade me to single-bedded room. He said he want me to have better rest/recovery after deliver, so touched!
Trace & Forest,
Me confirm to cut ur Q liao! Hee...

Beary
According the research, babies do not require plain water before 6 months of age, regardless of whether they are on FM or BM. And plain water was shown to have some negative effects to brain development, I think. So we only need to give baby plain water after 6 months... but of course, abit to clean the tongue is fine...
