Haru,
Congrats on your bb full month as well as the ending to your confinment. I hate cfm too. Everything is a restricted no no.
160ml is a good ss. You should try to pump as often to maintain your ss. What I will do is sometime to latch bb on while pumping on the other side. Save time and also let-down will be fall and quick. i can usually pump 100ml within 15 mins.
Does your bb nap better after you fed her with ebm? If you intend to return to work after your ML, you will need to start introducing bottle when bb is 6 weeks old so that she can get used to it. Not all feed as latching is still the best. Just once in the day and once at night.

Iluvbli55,
Dun be discouraged by what you are currently facing now ok.
I've read before that a bb should be latched on to the mummy's breast within the 1 hour after birth as sucking is a reflex. If it not done so, bb will lost this nature sucking skill and you will need to re-train at a later date.
I guess your bb is lazy at the breast, thus refused to suckle. Futhermore, you have introduce bottle early and bb prefer the bottle teat as she can get the milk direct.
Remember to suck on the breast would required aother technique so that she can get the milk. You can try to bottle feed her, let her takes about 10-20ml and try to latch her on (dun try to latch a hungry bb cos she is learning to suckle and would gets impatient easily trying to get the milk)
Do it slowly, latch her on once in a day and slowly increase the times and frequency. Once she learn the skill, she will love your breast rather than the bottle. Dun give up ok.

Mummies,
I have finished my confinement which was done at my in-laws house and will be moving back to my own home on coming tuesday. Really looking towards it and miss my home. But then was wondering if I could cope alone on my own with a bb and an active 16 months toddler.

Hi, I've emailed you already

Hi Mummies, any idea where i can get those hooks with velcro that is used to be attached to the stroller? TIA!
<font color="aa00aa">Breast-feeding</font>
I was lazy the last 2 days so gave EBM to baby only and didn't really pump. Yesterday i panicked cos i realised the EBM i had in the fridge were running out and today is baby's full mth. I tried to pump but unfortunately, my supply has reduced.
Any remedy? Would Fenugreek help?
My nipples are sore after much attempt to pump, and even 2mins let down is not sufficient to get the milk flowing

hi karen,
for my care i only let my gal latch on one side for around 15mins-20mins because my gal drink not much... so i will pump out another side for another 15mins i can get around 60ml... when during baby is not feeding. i will try to pump out for 15mins per side.. My baby every 2-3hr will ask for milk... so i will just let her latch for 15mins - 20mins lor..

iluvbli55,
Mine rashes started on the very first week, went to GP but the rashes continue to spread. First is tummy, followed by legs and arms. Tummy no more rashes but legs and arms is getting from bad to worse. I have a gynae appt on tuesday. Will check with him if there are no improvement.

How to latch and pump at the same time? As in how do you position your baby for latching, and hold the pump at the same time.

hi mummies,
had a busy day at my baby's 1st month party! but it was fun and everyone enjoyed. she was really alert throughout so she was so tired that she didnt really feed when she came home, just slept. think she wil wake up for feed soon.=>
thanks for all the well wishes mummies! since e end confinement have been eating all e crazy food!! had a sip of diet coke just now too. hahaha..
Karen and Snowy,
i hope i can maintain or even increase e amount pumped. at the moment i am storing e milk in 90ml per cup (Avent cups) as i think she wil take around this amount when i will need to use e EBM. last nite fed her 80ml of EBM, she only finished 70ml. i think her appetite not very big also.

Hi mommies,
New to this thread but have been reading and really enjoyed the tips from all you mommies. I have a question which i hope someone can help me with.
When we pump the milk out (e.g. 80ml), do you immediately put in the fridge or freeze it? Can i wait for 2-3hrs later when i pump again (into same bottle/otherwise) so that when i freeze i can freeze the total amt. Seems a waste to freeze 80ml each time into the storage bag
Can anyone advice me?
Thanks!

Aurorin:
You can put the first 80ml in the freezer to freeze. Later when you express again, express into another container first (e.g. bottle), cool down in fridge to a similar temperature as the frozen one, then pour into the first bag.
The reason why you shld cool to similar temp is coz if temp diff is big, hot and cold mix tend to introduce more bacteria or something like that.
However, although we dun want to waste storage bags, do rem not to store too much in 1 bag. If not, you may end up wasting when it comes to feeding.

congrats and happy full month to your baby! feels good to have a hair cut yea? =D
Fifi,

Re:milk storage bags
by e way mummies, what milk storage bags are you using now? i think i will slowly store milk in storage bags as my Avent cups run out.

Hi mummies!
It's been a long time since i last log in to post. How's everyone doing? And congrats to those mummies who have popped recently!
I've been very busy since my CL left coz i'm looking after my boy mostly all by myself. MIL too busy to help me coz she got another grand-daughter to look after too. Now I'm back at my mum's place for 2 weeks, so with my mum's help, i'm able to take a break.hehe..
Wah, everyone is talking about breast milk now..me at first supply not too bad, but after confinement, milk supply reduced drastically. maybe due to lack of rest and have stress too.haiz..but still trying my very best to express out whatever i can..
Now i suspect my boy got the cradle cap thingy. face and scalp all red and have flaky and crusty stuff coming off..been having this since the 3rd week after birth..so heart pain to see this..Going to a consult a paediatrician later. Hope everything will be okay..

Hi mummies!
Iluvbli55, I am going back to work in mid Feb! So only keen to attend that particular workshop for now. They have replied me so I would be transferring the money to them to sign up.
Sabre: Thks for your recommendations! Me thinking of getting the Obuba nursing shawl from BP
Dymples, saw you getting too...you found it useful?
Karen, wow's that's so much supply you got there -Very neatly stored!
Hmm me also thinking giving 1 bottle of FM daily 1 mth before I go back to work otherwise bb might reject FM.

<font color="ff0066"> glad gal</font>
Yup. Currently I hv the Red Obuba and find it really useful. Been using it lots to feed BB whilst out shopping or eating at restaurants.
So now getting the cream color one as well.
<font color="ff0066"> Mosh, Moo Mummy</font>,
Dun be disheartened babes. Keep taking the Fenugreek supplements and eat more of those confinement foods tat help wz milk ss like the papaya soup, red date tea and lots & lots of fish. We will all jia-you together on BF-ing our BB's okies.
<font color="ff0066"> Happywifey</font>,
If my boobs dun feel full, I'll still latch BB on if she wanna feeds. If really not enough milk... then I'll supplement wz FM after the latching. By putting BB to the breasts, the suckling by BB will also make your breasts increase the milk production to meet BB's demands.
<font color="ff0066"> Moo Mummy</font>
Oh dear... but dun worry yah. Cradle crap quite common. Your PD will prescribe you wz some wash and a cream to apply. My nephew had it as a BB too. But now no more liaoz... and his skin is smooth and nice nice.
<font color="ff0066"> Hair Cut</font>
Yeah! I had my hair cut and perm yesterday. So happy. But hor... during my hair appt, my hub had to bring BB to me for feedings 2x. *faintz* Then the people at the salon seems pai-seh. But I was wearing those nursing tops... so they can't see anything mah. *LOL*

wow! you even managed to perm ur hair? i was tempted to perm too but reckon i wil not have much time to maintain e perm.haha..so end up colour and cut. but i love having highlights again!! same here, had to feed baby midway through. but stylist told me her ang moh clients also always do that one. BF is really convenient and dun need to lug around hot water,bottles, etc.
happywifey,
what is the breastshield? is it like breastpads? speaking of which, i really need to get somemore breastpads. my avent ones get soaked thru easily..
cutiemum,
thanks! yea, my baby is less whiny today, just some crying here and there.managed to put her to nap pretty easily today and she didnt cry when i put her in cot. i also start to let her stay awake more durin e day esp when my parents come by. so that hopefully she can wind down in e night for good rest.

Hi hi, sorry, should have intro myself first. So far been a largely silent reader of the thread. My dd was due end of Nov but ended up overdue so she was delivered on 2nd of dec.
Like you mommis, i am trying my best to BF her for the last 2 weeks and coping with the fluctuating BM ss. On some pump i get 80ml on one side but sometimes, only 30ml. I am still trying to get my routine in order because i have no confinement nanny (but have a maid to help with laundry and cooking). After reading all your posts, i feel not so alone in my 'struggles' and have been learning alot!
Right now i am still trying to figure out how to establish a good feeding routine and sleeping routine for my girl. The first week she slept alot but now, she is getting restless and wanting to be carried more often. Sometimes i get stressed because i don't know why she is crying. Sigh. Wonder how do the mommies here cope with that?
haru,
I usually use wet wipes to wipe my breast first before BF. Haven't been outside (still in confinement) but i think still can use ba?

Hello mummies!
How's everyone getting on?
Time flies ya, my boy almost coming a month old. Badly deprived & seriously missed those days of undisturbed sleep as bb wakes up every 2hrs for feed. I have been latching bb on, ss not abundant but enough to get by.
<font color="0077aa">Taking care of your breasts</font>
Wasn't feeling particularly well yday nite. Left breast had those 'bruised' pain. Later into the nite, was shivering under my sheets & pain spread to more areas. I still nursed as per normal & sharp pain were felt when he latches on. I felt so much better when I woke up, relate it to my mom & sis & they told me I had blocked ducts internally whereby it can't be felt when massaged. Good thing I continued to nurse.
When I tried to recall, I remb my #1 placed his entire weight on my body, wah biang, almost 16kg & I screamed in pain. My sis advised that breasts are 'fragile' at this time, even certain sleeping positions, bb slings, tight bras can cause blocked ducts. Hope this helps..

aurorin,
thanks! wil use that too when i am outside too then. dun worry, my baby just went thru that phase too.couldnt get her to stop crying no matter wat. i think its a phase they will go thru and i hope my baby is slowly over the phase now that she is a month old! i guess its also coz they are also tryin to adjust themselves so they can get pretty cranky. i would carry her and try to calm her down if she cried non stop for more than a minute or so. then try to put her down again aft she calms down. sometimes this can go on for hours..its tiring but just tell yourself it will get better. dun worry every baby is different so we will just have to slowly learn our baby's behaviour.
hey mummies,
just a sensitive question, do you know when we can start gettin "naughty" again aft givin birth? i read thats its normally 6 weeks post delivery. coz my next appt with gynae is only in early feb, which would be for pap smear. i already had my check up with gynae 2 weeks ago but no mention from him if its safe to do "it" already..=P

Snnowy,
Thanks for your encouragement. I would definitely rem not to latch on a hungry bb. Mayb that's why she will cry so violently.
Congrats that your confinement is over!
Wow, bb and toddler at the same time is not easy.
Will you be getting anyone to help you?
Teenyweeny, Mosh, Happywifey,
Hey mummies, we are all having the same situation. So disappointing...
As long as the supply dun dry up, we have to keep pumping.
But mine is definitely not enough, BM makes bb more hungry, FM can last longer, so most of my feeds are FM.
Karen,
Wow, that's a lot! And so neat. How long did you take to store all that?
Haru,
Envy you, can go and get highlights plus colour and cut. How I persuade my hubby oso cannot, he scared affect BM. I dun tink so la.
Btw can ask where did you get the Beco carrier? And how much does it cost?
I'm thinking of getting one too.
Moomummy,
Hope ur bb's cradle cap will go away soon after seeing the doc.

Haru, yup, my mum really helped me alot by taking care of my bb during the night time when i'm simply to tired to get up when he fusses. but i also can see that she's pretty tired herself.feel so bad but she kept asking me to rest more
Dymples, i'm really very disheartened to see my milk supply reduce by so much..but my hubby also gave me alot of encouragement. he even went out to buy some of my favourite food for me as comfort food so that i can feel relaxed and happy.hehe..I will continue to jia you!!

Wipe Breasts:
Dun use wet wipes. Better to just use tissue or tissue with water. Else, you may wipe away the breasts natural cleansing agents.
cc:
Its already in the terms and conditions that the $600+ you cannot get back if cord blood is found not suitable for storage as this is the testing fees. Anyway, contamination is unlikely an cordlife's fault.
iluvbli55:
Beco can be bought from www.cozybabies.com.sg. Currently is retailing at $215 ($190 if you purchase 3 or more). Stock for popular colours running low. Next shipment price is likely to change.
