honestly, i can't tell, but, for a long period, my ger's stools were really loose - watery. i chked with PD, she said it is really subjective, but bcos 3-4 straight days she headed to the loo so many times that i was suspecting she had diarrea. after seeing the PD and had her med, her stools are now like tomato paste consistency
re: studio loft

re: hardknocks
the only time my ger cried was when she knocked on me accidentally in a sense. many times when she had "planned" to knock on me, she seemed okie. those knocks were really hard. u can hear a sound...

Don't wear wired ones if your are BFing. They can really cause blocked ducts. My SIL went through hell and learnt it the hard way. She wore wired bras during pregnancy and had 4 times mastitis when BFing!!!
So no choice, have to spend some $ to buy non-wired ones. I'm wearing nursing bras only at home, coz easier for expressing. Outside I wear normal non-wired ones.

Karen,
Who did you get the pool from? I'm stuck with figuring which one is better. Should I get from Kian or William?

Jellypurin,
Woke up early to express...hee...
Whitepaper,
When baby wears swim diapers means when he poos the diaper will 'catch' the poo even in water?
Bras:
Think I gotta get non-wired ones...haiz...don't like the lack of support they give...make my boobs look spaced out and droopy...
BM:
My ebm looks diluted...normal? If not, what can I eat/do to make it more 'milky'?

I was asking you but I think you missed the post. How do you know your girl has diarrhoea?
whitepaper
Where did you get your swim diapers? Don't want to get online since the wait's long.
dreamy
I didn't buy. Hee, intend to let bb swim in bathtub.
Wind
I think my girl's discomfort is wind. Anyone letting their babies take anything oral like gripe water? Drugstore sells this Hyland Colic Tablets. Seems good. Feel like buying for my girl. Or anyone knows anything I can do to help my girl? Since letting her take something orally is my last resort. I tried Ru Yi Oil also not very useful. Any advice?
Breastfeeding for losing weight
I think breastfeeding does help in losing weight. On Monday, at my gynae's, I was put on the weighing machine and my weight was the same as 6 weeks ago. Nothing extraordinary, right? But I have been pigging out like no tomorrow. Milo, milk tea, chicken with skin and fats, chocolate, ice cream. Yet I am the same weight. Amazing, right? I reckon it must be breastfeeding. So if I cut down on fatty foods, I think I may drop some kilos afterall.

agree with you, nursing bras not very flattering. i like spring maternity best, reasonable price too. but it's usually normal sports bra for me. if you find a good nursing bra, let me know too.
karen
i used infacol for my boy when we suspected colic and wind, worked immediately. can get from watsons, guardian, ntuc pharmacy. http://www.infacol.co.uk/wind.cfm
swim diapers: can try disposable huggies little swimmers from any supermart. or i-play swim trunks from bumwear http://www.bumwear.com/shopping/clothdiaper/catalog.htm?category=20

Think eat more fish will help. I remember when I breastfed my boy, my bm was very diluted. I try to eat more fish this round and the bm looks quite thick le.
re:bras
Last month just bought a few wired ones (those lace ones w/o padding) with a bigger cup cutting. I went to robinsons to look for those w/o wired ones but not many choices. In the end, the sales girl suggested I get those wired bras with bigger cup to try out and I like it. No engorgement or blocked ducts even when I din pump for 6 hours. </font>

nursing bras
I like the ones from hotmilk. Can buy from zodee.com.au. They're super flattering. Plus have sizes even for big chested people like me. And what's more, they can provide lifts. You know, big = gravity so most nursing bras will make my breasts flat and doesn't help in lifting. The ones from Hot Milk are amazing!
Jill
Ooooh thanks! I did read about Infacol. Maybe I'll get one from Watson's later. Oh thanks on the info. about swim diapers. Will go grab some later. Hee. Can't wait to play water with bb.
BBgoh
Tried a hot herbal thingy on her but not working well.

Jill,
Dun think there are any nuring bras in the market that can remove straps. I've been searching, but none.
I wearing normal strapless bra or bandeau with my tube tops. Try getting the bandeau from Marks & Spencer. I like.

yeah noticed infacol nowadays harder to find, but recommended by my paed so i stuck to it. got my bottle recently from ntuc pharmacy to standby.
enya
hvent tried i-play diapers before, so bad huh. no bulky problem with huggies little swimmers. heard also that naturally kids wont pee or poo in the pool because of water pressure, see many parents let their babies swim without diaper.
karen, can email huggies to ask for sample swim diaper to try out.

mummies who latch
How long do yr bbs latch for each feed? I feel that most of the milk flows in the first ten mins but still let bb comfort suck for another 20 mins each side. Towards the end sometimes got another let down. But is a 45 min - one hour feeding session each time too long?
There are times when in a rush and I latch for 10-15 mins each side only but not sure if bb got all she wanted. Do u wait till bb unlatches or use finger to unlatch after say 10 mins?

Karen,
Forgot to tell you just now that I also apply ru yi oil on her after her bath in the morning. Then also apply some on her soles of her feet.
whitepaper,
You didn't see me at Studio Loft yesterday ah? Think you were too busy choosing photos liao. But I saw your hubby carrying CH. Heehee!
daisybuttons,
You asked me for something... what was it ah? my memory getting from bad to worse. Sigh!
Jellypurin,
Can go again next week.
I should have taken your slot then no need to wait. Regina was so 'stoned' from all the waiting that she didn't smile much. Maybe also good lah, save $$ for me. heehee!
dreamy,
I bought my pool from Kian also.
elch,
If bm looks diluted means not enough fish in diet.
jill, xinying,
The strapless nursing bras from perfect mum has underwires.
