helo mommies happy weekend.
I brought baby out to Isetan private sales yesterday. drove there and the traffic into carpark was horrendous. i spent a long time waiting to drive into the cp. then went with my friends for lunch at dempsey. was out at 10.30am and only back home at 3pm plus. spent so much money.. but luckily 2/3 of it is not mine hahaa. helped hubby and my mum collect their clothes which we reserve on tue. hehehe. whew. only bought 3 tube dresses for myself and a top.but hor...i cannot resist buying clothes for Jaz even though i know she has enough.
i always manage to convince myself she needs just 1 more...just 1 more of that top...sigh...
<font color="aa00aa">surf</font>, u can try getting used to the stroller or the sling, and try bringing baby out alone. once u can do it once, it give u such a confidence boost that u can do it anytime oredi.
<font color="ff0000">sudden increase in milk demand</font>
babies at our age grows through growth spurts very often, sometimes at 4 weeks, sometimes at 6, 8 weeks, and its unpredictable. at such growth spurts, they suddenly has a increase in milk intake. and may feed longer on the breast, take more FM, or just demand to be fed at shorter intervals. its normal. so dun need to worry.
just feed what they need, it wun be overfeeding if baby wants it (but dun vomit). this guideline is for breastfed babies, not sure for FM babies. for me, i pump every morning to keep my supply up, so that I have extra in my boobs for such growth spurts.
<font color="0000ff">surf</font>, rotavirus vaccine is oral, not a jab. if you worried about taking 2 jabs (prevnar and 6-in-1) together with rota on the same day, try to consult ur PD is its ok? (or another PD for a 2nd opinion?) u can always space it out if ur PD is ok? i rem my PD advise spacing out some jabs, but for certain jabs he say its ok to take tog. i dun rem which jab is ok liaoz. but we give our kids 5-in-1 and not 6-in-1. if u give 6-in-1, better to ask ur PD. coz then it means quite a lot of medicine in ur baby for his/her livers to process?
<font color="0077aa">jellypurin</font>, i have not really start rehearsing for work
. although i have been pumping at about the same timing every morning as the time i will pump when i work. but i shld start "rehearsing" by feeding her a bottle a day, coz now i still total latch. scared she like my boy like that hard to transit once i start work...hope its not too late to start! wish my luck!
<font color="0000ff">JJmom</font>, to ur question, are u pumping exclusively and not latching baby? if so, u must empty ur breast at every pump in order to see a gradual increase. i think within 2-3 days u can see increase oredi, by ur boobs getting harder and fuller at pumping times.
we have a christmas party tmlw at my son's group of friends plc, and hubby is making tiramisu tonight! SLURP! i have been craving for it coz during preggie cannot eat (raw eggs). Now i am going to INDULGE!
