Trace, OMG, shld SUE THE GYNAE! thats such a silly mistake!
Actually renting is not cheap. shld ask around see which of her friends has spare pump. i got spare avent pump but one of my friends using else can lend your friend. ur friend baby sleepy during latch, so although 2 hrs but not actively sucking thats why still hungry. if she give in to FM too early and often, and yet dun pump out the undrank milk from her boobs, her supply sure go down. viscious cycle leh.
little doggie, chuan bei is chinese herbs i tink. well.....some ppl say below 1 yr old can eat, some ppl say zhen zhu powder better for small babies. so it depends leh. for me, i give coz i know of a friend who gives, and the medicinal shop told us the amt to give. but i think its best u consult someone you trust on WHICH one to give, before u decide? if he take western med, try to give at 4 hours interval.
Sorry who was mentioning the baby dun like to eat the pear huh? i think its necc to eat the pear for the curative properties to work. maybe can blend it together with the liquid and feed him as a fruit juice/puree like that? or add into his cereal?
