The brown discharge should be the leftover 'dried' blood from the lochia. Nothing to worry about unless it has a foul odour.
As for your sng-sng feeling... maybe you wanna check wz your gynae? Hv you gone for your 1-mth post delivery chk yet? My stitches not pain liaoz and this is my 3rd week.

hehehhe... so naughty hor.
Somemore this is my #3, so more experienced in handling BB outside alone. Not so kan cheong bah. *LOL*

Haru, i offer my nipples as a pacifier only.. usually he will latch on for 10-15mins. otherwise its all pumping for me. I do leak when he latches on.. but i nv get to leak all over the bed like wat some mummies here describe. As for pumping, usually mummies that latch on won't pump a lot out. 40ml is already quite gd.
ur bb is drinking more than that cos they are more efficient in draining our breasts.
Dymples, i dun think i have the guts to bring the bb out, even with my hb!!! u mother of 3 liao leh.. drop ur bb also not as kan cheong as me! wahahahaha...
my CL is making me drink some chicken boil with Martel soup.. even drinking that makes me dizzy although no more alcohol liao. i think i m not the type that can 'pu'. she already said i not very guai when comes to confinement. nv wear long pants and slippers. i told her she must be mad to make me do so!
I also suffering from itch but its at my vagina. always happens to me at the end of my periods cos i cannot tahan wearing pads for long. changing oft (even if pads are clean) also doesn't help. for me, only Whisper is not so itchy. all other brands make me itch even worse!

hello mummies!
Today bb has been naughty, refused to go to sleep so i hv been latching her on most of the time. She fell asleep and once i put her dw and swaddle her, she will be awake, and then start to stretch and struggle away from the swandle. It seems like she will want to suckle to sleep, and now dun really wan to take milk from bottle. Mummies, anyway to help her establish the habit of drinking from bottle? I am using pigeon bottle ... thanks thanks!
Bear, my appt is on 5 Jan 09 too, at 1050 am. But would want to change it to the Sat so tt hubby no need take leave. You will be going on weekday?

Jynnsan,

Ru Yi Oil
How do you all use it ah? I rubbed it between my hands until warm, then applied by rubbing down my baby's stomach. But how much pressure do you all apply?
Sabre/Haru
Do you all use slings or strollers when you bring baby out? I'm thinking of going to Vivo and carrying baby in the Baby Bjorn. But I wonder how I'm going to have my lunch with baby in the Bjorn. Anyone has more experience? I am thinking of eating over baby's head. Hee.

Hi mommies,
I am a new Nov mummy to a mini who is almost 3 weeks old
Was hoping to get some breastfeeding tips from all the mummies who seem to hv been so successful at breastfeeding. My baby never seemed full even after latching for more than 20 mins (sometimes half an hour!) on one side, and she wld fall asleep on my breast. When I unlatch her, she would cry for more milk about 5 mins later and we hv had to supplement her with FM. I initially was able to pump out abt 30ml on the 5th day and then it dropped to almost nothing when my baby was admitted for jaundice. I stopped pumping after awhile cos was so discouraged by the few drops in the bottle after each pump
A few days ago I managed to pump almost 80ml and was so happy but it dropped to 30ml and now its almost nothing again
Does any mommy have any advice for this desperate mummy? ;p
Also, when do mummies normally pump? After each feed or in between feeds? Or when your breasts starts to leak?

hello mummies,
been a while since i log in. Emma is almost coming to 2 mths now.we more or less hv a routine for her. so far she has been very good. she feeds every 2 hours during the day n sleeps after evey feed except for the 7am feed. she will stay awake for abt 2hrs to play with daddy before he goes to work. she has 2 baths a day, once in morning and once at nite just before bedtime and that is at abt 8.30pm. last feed is abt 9pm and she is normally down by 10pm. she wakes up for her next feed between 2-3am which gives me plenty of rest. next feed is between 6-7am so i only wake up once at nite. i don't set alarm clock, just wait for her to make noise.
breast milk supply
so far it has been good. from the books, milk ss will regulate with baby's consumption. when i pump, i get abt 100ml. i realize that when pumping, need to wait for let down if not will never get 100ml. let down happens about 15-20 mins into pumping. timing differs with individual. oso when let down happens, it's usually the hind milk which is thick milk n can keep baby fuller longer.
emma has since put on 1.4kg n grew 8cm in length. pd is happy for her progress.
baby swimming
on sunday, we bought her to the baby swimming thingy at harbourfront and she enjoyed it. a bit scared at the beginning but after 10 mins, relexed n enjoyed it. we signed up a package so she has another 4 sessions to go.
nails cutting
i had to cut emma's nails twice in the 1st month. asked my mum 1st n she said ok cos' her nails are growing very fast.i now once every 10 days or so i hace to cut or she will have scratches everywhere.

happywifey,
welcome! i know how you feel, my baby is now also 3 weeks+ and my milk supply doesnt seem to increase. but my baby normally latch for bout 15-25 mins on one side only and she seems satisfied. but when i try to continue to pump, its really like a few drops or 20ml only. (my most was 100ml when I gave her FM so both breasts were pretty full) but i am taking heart that she is pooping and and she has quite alot of soiled nappies everyday.
chilipadi,
wah, so fast leh..almost 2 months already! do you normally pump after a feed or in between? i am now only doing single sided feeding so that she can get all hind milk as well. any tips? are you also feeding EBM or total latch?

re : bf
you gals lie down to bf? its so much easier to lie down....and you can sleep after finish feeding...so shiok..but too bad...i got low supply and i stopped after few weeks...somemore im not on full bf...lousy mum...so wasted my money for buying the pump...my advise to mummies is to buy pump after delivery better
think still will be in time...coz you can still latch on while waiting for the pump...somemore not cheap...i got medela....so now got to get rid or it...so troublesome....in fact, think alot of stuff like white elephant...some things others use, you might not be using as different way of handling bb....hhh...

Hi chillipadi,
how long do you pump if let-down happens only after 15-20 mins? My boobs will start to hurt after only 10 mins, which is also when nothing much comes out already, so I stop. Shd I continue pumping even tho nothing comes out?
Thanks haru!
Sounds like you are doing good and your baby is happy! I wouldnt worry too much if I were u. My fren jus latched on demand, never even owned a pump, and her baby (now 2 yrs old) was happy and full.
happy,
wow, we do seem to hv the same prob! wonder if we are doing anything wrong..? my bb suckles quite well, but I just dun seem to be producing enuf

haru, if i pump out after feed, the side which I last use can pump out about 1 oz to 2 oz... the 1 not used can pump out abt 4 to 5 oz... and I'm lopsided... right side can pump out more than the left abt 0.5x...
karen, robinson sell avent breast pads oso.. think maybe john little oso....
happywifey, maybe u too stressed?.. try and relax... and pump more frequently... like every 2 hrs or so...

Hi ladies
Very depressed nowadays, I may be going into depression
Lots of things happening here, my milk supply not good, only 20ml after 15-20mins pump on both breast. My MIL is not supportive, kept saying I dont have milk or BB dont like my milk
...
Lots of differences in opinions with my MIL, so upset, I wanted to shift out of here... now my csect wound got infection and I got stiff neck for days liao, so painful... haiz, many other things to complain.. sorry, have to vent out here....
