LOL... both our #3 seems berry similar leh.
I certainly hope tat her feeding pattern will be established soon. Last night things were better. Hub gave bb FM for the 11.30pm feed. She woke up at 1.30am, I direct latched her... managed to make her suckle 1 and half sides. Then MIRACLE..!! She slept till 4.30am. Direct latch her again... 2nd MIRACLE!! She slept till 7am. Then hub gave her FM again and she slept till 10am. hehehehh... Hope this will carry on siah.

The Gucci sales nothing much leh. All the goods all snapped up on the first day liaoz. My mum only managed to get a big tote bag for my SIL x'mas gift. Berry cheap - $300+ only. But I managed to buy a pair of loafers from Ferragamo for $200+ only. *cheap-cheap*

Dun worry yah... my own Mom also like tat when I had my 1st gal. Keep rocking and shaking my gal when she carry... push stroller also anyhow push, never see where she's going, etc. Worse still, she can even feed my gal porridge + egg when my only 6-mths. *faintz* But after many many arguments and discussions, now she's better liaoz. Basically she leaves me to care for my gals 'My Way'. Not so much interference liaoz.
Wah seh... I like your BB's hair especially his sideburns leh. So handsome!

I have an Maltese at home. So far doggie is taking it quite ok wz BB. But then again... doggie is inside her playpen most afternoons when BB is out in the hall cos the dog tends to be over excited... boh painz... doggie still puppy leh. Only 1yr and 3mths old. So still berry playful.

My stitches not pain anymore. I only feel slightly sore at the area near my buttocks. This is becos my labia and inner right side of my cervix becme swollen and subsequently had blood clot due to hard pushing.

Oh dear... your experience really sounds scary leh. Are u better now? Is it becos of a side effect due to the Fenugreek?

I'm also looking at getting washable breasts pads. Anyone got any recommendations?

How much were your breastspads from Medela? Is it absorbent? How often you need to change? I'm scared the washable ones are not as absorbent as the disposable ones leh.

Your feeding combi is ok cos you're still giving BB your BM about 80% of the time bah. But then... you seem to be bottle feeding her most of the time either via FM or EBM. I'm only concerned tat BB will hv nipple confusion or else BB may find sucking on the bottle nipple easier and thus reject the breasts later on cos suckling at Mommy's nipple requires more work.

Could the breasts pain be due to block ducts? Tat's why you're unable to express out any BM? I tink it will be good to chk wz your gynae and an LC on this.
