spag, how come u r not pumping then u buy the pump??? Hahaha..waste $$ leh. In between latch, u must oso pump ah..so that supply can increase and u can store.
Hi ladies
My boy is already 1 week old and i still have very little breast milk! I let him suckle every 3 hours for more than 30mins and supplement with fm. each time i pump only get less than 25ml.
omg it's so discouraging and CL and my mum keep laughing at me for not having enough and keep forcing my boy to drink FM as his demand has increased to 75ml per feed. Feeling very frustrated and feel like giving up too.
But gynae says bf really helps the uterus to contract faster and I think so too!
Anyone with the same problem? tell me what to do!

Mummies who are still considering maternity photography can consider The Studio Loft, their website http://www.thestudioloft.com.sg/
I'm really happy with their services, the photog is a lady so you'll feel comfortable. Here are some pics we took at 37+ weeks

hi mummies, after almost MIA for a week, im back!
sorri for not keeping in touch as im nursing the pain and a very bad engorgement last Fri, almost wanna bang my head against the wall. anyway, now im feeling fine =)
BM:
i had and still having a diff time trying to supply BM to Kasia. infact, i had sore nipples since Day 1 (no thanks to some nurses who taught me the wrong way to latch on Kasia, straight after my delivery). When the lactation consultant came on Day 2, my nipples are already sooooo sore. so although i learn the rite latch on technique, i stopped latching on since Day 4 and dats when my breasts becum so engorged. the ironic thing is dat after pumping, i having a miserable 5-10ml supply after each pump (i pump every 3-4 hrs). i keep using hot towels and messaging during pumping, hands are so tired after each pump (I spend 30mins on each side). finally today i experience some let down. though the BM is still little (about 30-40ml each session), it's a BIG improvement from the past few days. so moral of the story for mummies having a hard time like me, DUN GIVE UP, JIA YOU! =)
Bubblepearl:
yr rite nipple still sore? how ru coping with BB Gerrad?
Phyl:
sorry, long time nvr log on, so not sure if you have been posting here. how ru and BB Hayden? i wud have lost my head if not for the help from my CL, so i really cannot imagine how u cud have coped on yr own... btw, hv u found a BB sitter? the BB sitter i got is checking as she said her neighbour is looking for BB to babysit too.

Hi gals
no la.. my c-sect is horizontal but internal, the gynae said is vertical. i also dun know why.. thats why even 10cm above my belly button, i felt painful.. the horizontal wound itself, not so pain instead...
I very envy u ladies can go to massage so fast ( even though u all on c-sect) Dun know why mind recover so slow and till now still pain and not yet remove watever nonsense.. just change wound dressing only.. Monday going back to gynae.. maybe just another wound changing again.. I also hope tummy can go down flat.. now i remove binder, i can see the sagging n though i m like 3 months pregnant.. i m left with 3kg to pre-pregnancy weight.. hope can quickly massage like u ladies, to get back my tummy flat.
Hi Carmen

wah..all so hardworking wake up to pump in the morning!! My boy latched on from 1am to 3am!! DRained my left breast and mummy totally and I knocked out until his next feed at 6am..then onie feel that my breast is super full..after latching now pumping!
Carmen, dun give up ya..since now know how to latch on properly liao.. let Kasia latch on more often, bb's sucking can help to stimulate more bm formation.
Tamms, nice shot! I too wanted to go but too bad, I have to be operated by 37weeks itself..so now no choice but mabbe take family pix liao..hehe..

Hi Tara
NO Cruches for now.. Mrs Wong mentioned in the class as our muslces are " open" up , give way to the side when we pregnant. Doing cruches now will harm the tummy muscle.

Tara: Ya cannot do crunches or ab exercises first. Wait for all-clear at your 6-week postpartum checkup.
Phy: You should pump at night...else you'll feel very engorged. I still have a little tummy...like i ate a lot. Think can only get rid with exercise liao.
Fabbie: I miss drinking plain water!!! Been drinking the red date drink and i find it doesn't quench thirst very well.
Wow, Clarice is turning 1 month old!! Time flies...i'm hoping to sneak out to rebond my hair on Xmas eve! I want to do it before my CL leaves.
Jess: Wow, your BM supply is good!!!

Hi mummies,
been MIA for awhile! I've popped on the 10th dec (1 wk ago) & have been super super tired & exhausted ever since.
Really admire u mummies who can come in & post so fast after delivery.
Baby name: Kysn
DOB: Dec 10, 2008
EDD: Dec 25, 2008
Hosp: Mt Alvernia
Delivery mode: Natural w Epi
FTWM
Gender: Boy
Weight: 3.07kg
Birth story
9th Dec: took 1 extra day leave after the PH on 8th dec to go out & rest relax with HB...(mmm maybe its really the "nursing" instint hitting in. Just wanted to then go & enjoy & relax before I deliver; so even when KTV in the afternoon.
3pm @ KTV: went toilet & noted light spotting..But no other symptoms (contractions / waterbag burst) so carried on with our KTV.
7pm after dinner: noted more bleeding but still light & not heavy bleeding kind...
9pm: called gyn. Gyn say to monitor. Cos with "show" still means labour maybe btw 1 to 3 days. Unless there's other symptoms (contractions / waterbag burst) then go straight to hosp.
10th Dec:
1am: Heavy Bleeding with cramping. decided to wait & monitor.
2am: more cramping.
4am: consistent cramping. confirm contraction as its every 10mins.
Finish packking bag & went for some Breakfast before going to hosp.
530am: admit to labour ward. Put on CTG. Contractions every 10min still...&
i only 1 cm dilate. given Pessary to clear bowels first. Super painful for me! keep running to toilet.
Thereafter contractions become stronger & more painful. Now I koe what it means by real contractions also hits the back. My back was so so pain & sore.
12pm: midwife check. Still only 1 cm? siao liao i tot
2pm: gyn instruct for drip, as the whole labour been taking too long. Thou contractions @ every 5min or lesser, but I'm taking too long to dilate.
4pm: only 2 cm. gyn break waterbag to hasten labour.
After almost 12 hrs I finally gave up & ask for Epi as the laughing gas seems no longer working for me...too long in labour le.
430pm: Epi given. Finally, the pain is numb. Really thank god there's such a invention called Epidural!
7pm: only 4 cm dilate..HB & I almost going to fanit....after so long only 4cm.
9pm: 7cm
10pm: okie 10cm. HB & I tot okie good! finally! But little did we koe that's not the end of it. Still need to push to get baby's head to descend more..
Push for 2 hrs! Fm 10pm to almost midnite! But finally popped our health ltttle Prince just before midnite.
Here's my long labour story...Now really understand what it means by the term LABOUR...

Pastillies: Congrats on your baby boy!!!
How are you? Looking forward to pics of your prince.
Mommies, is there anything i can do help my boy sleep better in his cot? He wakes himself up suddenly and he'll cry...as if he had a nightmare & he got scared. It has been going on for the past few days...he just cannot sleep well in the cot for more than 10 minutes. I put the bean pillow on him, but it doesn't seem to calm or soothe his nerves.

Wow you had a long labour. Congrats on making it through! Post pics of your baby when you can.
Spaghetti
Thanks for the tip on the breastmilk! I will try that later. Hope it will help with my sore nipples.
Merydith
I will be choosing to space out Emma's vaccinations as much as possible. I spoke to my PD and he said we can follow the old vaccination schedule, where jabs are given 3 times, rather than all together as the 6-in-1 jab.
Emeraldbride
My bb's breathing is also noisy. Doctor said that it is normal, because she's still adjusting to the external environment (compared to the womb).
For EBM, I will let it stand at room temperature for 2 hours, in air-con room for 4 hours. If Emma doesn't finish the EBM in one feeding, I will keep it to the next feeding. If she still doesn't finish after that, then I will throw it away. Anyway, don't forget to pump if you are feeding Zach EBM instead of direct latch. Otherwise your brain will think that this feeding is no longer needed and will make less milk.

Rihan - Ok, I'll use the nipple cream. But how long does it takes for sore and crack nipples to heal. So far, i've applied once. Then after that i pump out milk and i notice my nipple still look like haven't heal yet.
Mommies - It's been 4 days since i last pooed when i was still in hospital. Having bad constipation now. Any of u experienced this before? And how to improve this condition? I'm thinking if i can drink more water but worried that i will hv water retention or watsoever as per confinement restrictions. I feel like drinking orange juice too but my mum dun allow. I feel so miserable.. Think i'm getting abit depressed of late..

btw, is she a pediatrician? Im actually looking for a gd pedo dr for my ger..is she one? Wat u mean by naonatal drs?
So when do we need to bring our bb to see PD Dr huh, not for injection purpose? is it if bb is ok, then no need to see PD, unless bb not well?? can advise me? cos till nw my ger has not seen any PD yet..

Jowin,
my ger oso for the past few days like to stay awake at night n sleep during daytime..we all got to wake up n play/talk to her ard 1am and then 2 hrs later she willing to sleep..i heard ppl said bb as they grow older, they tend to sleep less de..not like beginning when we just brought back frm hosp..i sometimes so tired till i gave her pacifier and she will play on her own till sleep..so nw if nite time she cry or refuse to sleep, i will give her pacifier..not sure if this is a gd way..but really no choice..not enough sleep leh..

I'm now 2 weeks post partum and still bleeding a bit, but mostly brownish liao. My bleeding was dark red at first, then became bright red and now is brown. My dr said that the colour of the bleeding can vary and it doesn't really mean anything. It can also be free flowing or in clots. Basically, I think my gynae is saying that there is no real pattern to the bleeding.

How long has it been since you delivered? I got a lot of stitches and my gynae said that they should all heal by 3 weeks after delivery. But I think squatting can be quite a big strain on your wound? Better not to do la, until your gynae checks and confirms that everything is okay.
For sleep habits, I read that it's better not to stimulate your baby when she wakes up at night. This way, she will know that day time is for playing and night time is only for essential things like eating, diaper change and sleeping. When Emma wakes up at night and cannot go back to sleep, we usually just carry her around, rock her or sing softly to her. Try not to talk to her too much or play with her. Even when she's nursing, I also try to minimise the talking, so that she will learn to eat and go back to sleep.
I don't really believe in letting babies 'cry it out'. I think that it can be quite traumatic for the child, if you let them just cry and cry until they fall asleep from exhaustion. There must be a reason why they are crying, even if it's just because they want to be carried. I found this website quite interesting on how to inculcate good sleeping habits in your baby and how to calm a fussy baby: http://www.askdrsears.com/html/7/T070100.asp
