(2008/10) Oct 2008
- Thread starter jappooh
- Start date
Same same, me too! Everyday have to lug my ameda pump to work, thinking to stop too, coz i had complication - plugged ducts twice after back to work! Ouch!!! Very painful experiences! But thinking of boy everytime make me xin ruan to continue. Sometime feel very tiring too, coz need to pump after attend to his needs, and cant go out too long. I already reduce no. of pumps to 5 times a day nia (About 800ml a day)...Try to tong now, my fren told me once baby starts on solids, can further reduce no. of pumps a day, then wont feel so xin ku, and can have more rest/Me time...Hm...

<font color="ff0000">Skylar was born on 28 Sep so should consider as 4 months 2 weeks liao, hope she don't be lazy and flip over soon. The only thing is she is very talkative. She loves to talk errm very loudly, hehe in the form of screaming/yelling. It's not like she is angry or frustrated, she will just happily lay there and 'scream' at the top of her voice, then cough when she overdo it. Hehe yesterday she just figure out he sound "mmmmm". My hubby was talking to her as usual and said "U are such a lovely gal, aren't you" Then Skylar replied "mmmmmmm", it was so funny cos it's so coincidental. It's as if she agreed with her daddy. </font>
Phtanus,
Pump 5 times a day?! I only pump 4 times a day (once in the morning, 2X at work, once before bedtime) and I'm already feeling sian! I prefer latching, at least no need to wash so many things!
jjmom2008,
I held it for him and he sucks but after sometime he'll let go. We want to into it to him when he's 1 month+, hoping that he'll not wake up in the middle of the night for milk but end up we spend more time holding his pacifier! We gave up the pacifier in less than a week! Luckily he manages to sleep through the night just before I start work...

Hey mummies, don't give up on pumping leh... I just got encouraged by your ladies back, and then now we are all talking abt giving up. I am also v tired, the thought of giving up keeps coming to mind. I still wake up once in the early morning to pump. Starting work in 2 weeks times, dunno if can tahan, still trying to imagine bringing PIS to office and pumping in office. The thought of it, I alr feel tired. But every time see my girl, I feel guilty abt giving up.
My target is still 6 months (hopefully), tediooooous to go beyond that........
Phtanus - 800ml for 5 pumps a day is already very good. My ss dipped after I had some skin infection at the pumping area during CNY, which I cut my no. of pumps to 5 times to rest it. Thinking to cut further to 4 times now so that I pump only once in office, but I know ss will dip again.
re: pacifier - My girl not addicted coz we never give her since day 1. But we give her only if she screams at the top of her voice and cries till got tears. Once ok, we will pull it out so that she does not become addicted.

hi mummies... just want to encourage u all to try to keep on pumping.... jia you! No matter how tired we all are, we can do it cos we are mummies who can survive on little sleep and lots of work (home+office)!
Cheerbear,
I pump at about 12noon and 5pm...go home will latch him, then only pump before bedtime at around 9.30pm...wake up at 5.30am or so then pump before preparing for work...if I don't pump before bedtime even after he latched I will feel engorged in the middle of the night...so cannot afford to skip the before bedtime pump...

Mommies who are pumping:
JIAYOU! don't give up! I'm tired too but still stick to pumping 7X a day... 3 times at work... sometimes 4, if I work late. Wake up twice a night to pump.
YOU CAN DO IT! It's all in the mind!

cheer bear,
i hope your bb gets better soon.
elchwong,
me too! have to lug around the PIS everyday. so tiring. and it's soo heavy also. lucky i only need to do it until wed since it's my last day at work.
on pacifier,
i'm using the pigeon pacifier. my bb doesn't like it. she keeps on spitting it out. she still prefers me over the pacifier. the problem is, she will eat more than she needs and tends to spit out a lot. she likes to suck on her hand as well. so cute! and it's so loud also when she does it. but i try not to let her get used to sucking her hand. later will be very difficult to wean.
on pumping:
i know it's tiring to pump every time.. but don't give up mummies!! even if you can only pump out a little it's still better than none.
i hope your bb gets better soon.

<font color="ff0000">On pacifier, Skylar uses NUK pacific only when she gets ratty and needs to sleep. If not usually she just stuck her fingers into her mouth.

pumping>> i now pumping out before start work to prepare for when start work. ss oso very low so went to kellymom to SOS. they recommend to pump only at work and to latch when with the baby. anyone tried this? i think its supposed to improve your supply coz baby suck can remove more efficiently than pump. then u can oso reduce the hassle of carry pump to and fro
tommorow gathering>> hey swensens no space for all our prams then how? how we free hands to eat if baby cannot sit yet? *blur

jellypurin,
yea i actually stood in front of the super market shelves for like half an hr comparing tin to tin when i was changing formulas.. this kinda thing i did think the more ex the better and enfalac is quite up there.. however, friso is almost on par with enfalac and other brands and is ard $7 cheaper per tin compared to enfalac. its quite alot considering one tin last a wk or less. the main diff was that enfalac contained more of a particular nutrient. cant remember wat it was though.

but when go back to work, we'll see how...
