phyl, what is the difference between friso comfort and friso gold?

my bb wakes up at 3hr interval min and last nite again I have to wake him up at 10pm because past his feeding time by 2 hrs..then after feeding him at 10, he's supposed to wakie at 1am but end up waking up at 3.30am..this poor mummy was awake from 1am to 3.30am waiting for his baby to hv his milk..hahaha
 


friso comfort is for colicky, constipated babies... i tot it was the small can of friso gold so i bought that... then when i wanted to buy a bigger can.. i noticed dun have big can so i bought friso gold...
 
Mummies, my gal tend to sleep longer during day time. Terrible during nite time especially these few nites. She won't sleep fr 12+ to 5am. Every 2hrs opening her mouth, sucking her fingers. After feeding her she still won't sleep. She'll cry for attention. She's 9 days old today. Now feeding her 80ml. Btw, I notice after she pooed abt 2-3X in a row, she seemed to get hungry easily. I'm afraid i'll overfeed her.

yes phyl
there is a time that baby can sleep 3-4hrs thruout.. mine is especially near late afternoon or evening time..

Hi Kath
last nite my ger on the dot every 2.5hrs she wake up.. i try to beat her 2.5hrs to feed her so tat she wun cry for feed then i give.. it is sucessful 2 times, 3rd time she woke up 30mins earlier than suppose.. Wah.. then she start cranky till 6am.. then sleep thru till 9:30am...

Hi Fong
yes, its like this. My BB also.. poo alot.. I already name her as Poo Poo queen.. hahaha!! If we feed BM, normally bb get hungry easily.
 
fong,
my boy is 2wks old now but still can hardly sleep till 3hrs interval, he always wake up earlier than feeding time, most of the times less than 2hrs, nite time also like tat...

i'm on total latch on now so dun really know how much he drinks, but recently he likes to suck for less than 10mins only then dun wan liao, eventhough i try put my nipple into his mouth but he can juz stare at me & refuse to open his mouth... i dunno wat happen also, he juz dun wan to continue sucking, and thats y he keeps looking for milk in less than 2hrs time...
 
jowin/jes - we fed her ebm during day time & fm at nite. So i tot feeding her fm at nite shld b able to make her hunger last for 3 hrs. that's y abit worried when after we fed her fm, less than 2hrs' time she starts to get cranky & look for milk, & she keep yawning too.
 
Morning all.. wah im damn busy at my MIL house.. normally at home i got my mum to help me ster my bottle.. my mum to help me take care of baby whenever im tired.. now at here canot..u cant be keep asking your MIL to do this and that right?! everything got to do yourself. haiz. and one of the following day my hub cant be taking leave he will be going to work. then jialet lor.. wah damn busy and tired sia..feels like i got to tarhan till 1week and i sprain my back yday! =( anyone got pains on their backs? is it cus of epidural? sometimes i sneeze also pain.

Jollycow
can dye hair.. is up to u. i ask my gynea and mrs wong before.. they say sill can BF. for me i didnt dye i just cut nia
 
fong, my bb will fart and poo during feeding leh.. one day will hv abt 7 - 8 soiled nappies and equal amount of wet nappies. My CL onie wash n wash the nappies day in n out..hahaha

Jo, ur bb know ur pattern, beat u earlier than 30minutes ah..so cute!! Hahaha...
 
wah..dunno what my cl cook..finish eating lunch onie my whole body sweating like mad!!! Last night she boiled chicken drumstick with Dom - so sweet..if u gals ever wanna try that, use Martell is better than Dom. Tonight she will boil chicken essence. Now can start eating tonic leh..

Jo, one of the mothers was saying drinking black bean soup can increase BM leh.. now i ask my CL to alternate between boiling red dates and black bean soup.. i notice my BM ss increasing..even at night i pump 30 minutes got 120ml.. u ask ur mom to try boiling tat.. can boil sweet type or normal soup type whr u put pork rib.
 
afternoon ladies
my lil one slping on my lap now. don wana rest in bed. so noti. hehe.

kayson todae 20 daes old. drinks 125ml ebm every 2.5hrs. den nite drink fm same amt but 3-4hrs interval. finally can get some rest in d nite. tired. =(

seems like a lot of bb drinking friso. hehe. i give similiac. =p

phyl
hayden's poo poos till hard one ah?
 
jazlyn, u noe of any good place that provides baby full month gift pack? Like Sweetest Moments in SG??

My parents wanna distribute to relatives back in Klang so now i hv to source for it.
 
i also bought a can of similac, no thanks for my kiasu hubby who is afraid tat my BM is insufficient for bb..but still unopened!

Wah..i tell u hor, fishes nowadays so expensive. I was at the wet market this morning, buy 2 pcs of threadfin tail for papaya soup, 2 pcs of threadfin meat for steaming, 1 pcs of 'ngor hu soon' and 2 pcs of snapper cost me $33!!! Super expensive.. even pork oso expensive.. some mince meat, 6 pcs of pork chop, 1 pork leg for 'zhu jiao chu' cost me $17..sigh.. like tat go market alr spend nearly $60plus...
 
emeraldbride - Wow! That's alot of nappies to change wor. So far, my gal daytime didn't poo so much. Maybe 1 or 2x during daytime. Usually she urinates alot. Nite time then will poo abt 2-3x. Maybe becos i didn't total bf her. Only daytime feed her with ebm and nite time fm.

My mum also made black bean soup with pork & red dates tea for me to drink. No wonder my bm ss so gd. Now i've pumped abt 120-130ml fr both breasts.
 
My little ger also needs to feed every 2-3hrs.. whether day or nite.. but that's cos i give breastmilk... I really dun think it is too demanding.. breastmilk gets digested fasted and is much gentler on the bb's gut that's why the stomach gets emptied very quickly... while bb needs to work extra hard to digest fm...

Human milk for human babies!! I heard when giving breastmilk.. not ebm... bb will regulate the feed and they tend to not overeat.. breastfed babies are less likely to be overweight..

Can I ask whether anyone has or is ordering from cupcake divinity?? I tried to email them but they are taking quite a while to reply.. I really want to get the 1st month thing sorted out soon..
 
hihi

can have some advice?

1. Do we express out before or after baby finish latching on? Sometimes i feel breast so full wan express out, but HB thinks shd wait & let baby finish drinking first if not later not enuff milk for baby. But after baby finish drinking, I will not be able to express out a lot.
I'm on total latch but want to express out to store also...

2. when shd we start to BB on the vaccination jabs?

thanks!
 
dee
my boi's cord dropped when he 6daes old. once dropped, look out for bleeding. shud be dried bld n not fresh bld at umbilical area. make sure no foul smell as well. cont cleaning umbi area as usual.

pastillies
immunisations can be given from 6wks onwards. =)
 
Hi Kath,
thks for ur advise.. my hubby is actually ok to up her CL fees to $2k max.. but I'm jus unhappie tt she play tis kind of tricks so last min. I haf a maid to help her out, and oreadi agreed to cut short my confinement to less than 28 days if i deliver late. Then she still wan to up her fees.. I jus feel tt she's pushing her luck too far lor
sad.gif


My MIL got to noe abt tis, she say she can help me cook but she gotta bring along my SIL's kid who is abt 2yrs old along... now I'm confused..

dunno wat to do.. MIL say dun given CL a single cent more wor.. T_T
 
Xuelyn
Wah your cl not very nice to have done that to you so last minute. If I'm in your shoes, I'll give her very low (peanuty) angpow at the end of her services :p

For me, I'm so grateful to my CL, she was so nice that when she finally left yesterday after I extended her services for another 8 days, I felt sad to see her go.
 
Thanks iemik0, fabbie. Got desitin cream from unity ytd. Realise there are two types. The purple and the blue one. Today brought my gal to PD and PD prescribe the blue desitin cream.

pasitillies, for bb vaccination, u can refer to the bb's health booklet. At birth, bb's given BCG and 1st Hep B. Then next vacination is at 1 mth - 2nd Hep B.
 
xuelyn
I heard frm my cl that usually for those whose confinement spreads over the cny, it is norm that the mommies give the cls one week off to go back to celebrate cny after which they come back to finish their 28 days assignment... If ur cl insist on raising her price, you can consider giving her one week off in between for cny, then get her to come back and finish off....so its more worth it for u.... Hope u sort this out soon... I know it can get stressful with cl problems...
 
Help! I have a baby 10 days old, tried total breast feeding, but baby not getting enough. It seems that I have blocked duct. Pae advice that I MUST supplement with formula milk. Any one know who I should contact for help?
 
hi fabbie
wah.. all the full month cakes so ex one ah???.. my mum insist need to have 2 red eggs, 2 ang ku kuei inside the box n cakes.. Sigh.. cheapest i saw is from sweetest moments at $8.90... wa lau, so much more ex than my wedding GDL cakes

Im like invisible.. Even when im at home my mum dun even like keep saying baby looks like me when im young.. arghz. really get in my nerves that im not even related at all.
 
btw mummies once after pump we wil have the let down feeling right? like ants bite. or eletric shock or a needle poking your breast right? Any idea we can relieve from those let down feeling? Its realy damn pain leh.. i pump finish liao. keep poking me. and i keep rubbing my breast -___-
 
Jowin..

I saw that msg too.. but today is already 20th.. anyway I saw cake avenue's cakes.. they look very nice too.. read some reviews and they all say quite good.. so I went to enquire..

Fabbie..
the baby is definitely yours wat.. u give birth to her!! Haha!! Everyone also say that my ger looks like hb.. even my mom... then my hb will smile widely.. aiyah.. quite cute mah... =)
 
fabbie, i oso got the feeling, quite painful, macham sore, aching pain, but it also occurs to me bout a hr after i pump out. just now, i was taking a nap after pumpin but woke up cause my breast so pain on both side, still pain now... feel like a very sore cow... i got a small lump on my right breast at the side, it cause me to hv a fever on mon, was fine after taking the painkiller that TMC prescribe, but went to see Dr. today cause the lump is always there. The GP gave me antibiotic, saying it might be an infection??? was hoping to get referral to a specialist but he say only after taking the medicine and the lump still there, then he will refer me...
u baby sure will look like you one lah, jus ignore them...

bubble, u okie liao???

Tara, how r u? bb ltaching on or pumpin? i try to latch my girl in the day-time, sometime, she suckle 5-10mins, sometime none, then i pump &amp; bt feed her liao...check with u, Whr's ur CL from?
 
fabbie,

i can fully understand what you mean.. i think it's just THEM (the in-law's family).. i get that too for my #1.. aiya, they are like that one.. very BIAS lah.. feel as though we don't contribute in the baby-making.. DUH! aarrrgghhh!!!
sometimes i want to give them a piece of my mind.. but what to do.. still need to shut-ma-mouth.. sigh..
 
fong, jes, iemik0,

thanks for the info on bb's cord..
my bb's cord is 99% almost dropping.. now it's got a string thingy that hangs out between the dried cord and bb's belly..
i see also quite scared to handle.. hopefully it'll really dropped by itself.. bb's now 10 days old..
 
fabbie, i also get that ant bite feeling the whole day today..if Zach latch on my right breast, my left breast get that tingling sensation.. very annoying but i dont dare to touch cos my left breast/nipple is alr very sore to begin with.

Jo, I actually sent an email to cupcake divinity but no one replied leh.. u hv their contact number? I intend to give cupcakes to my colleagues..u noe after all the gifts that were received, we have to give out almost 70boxes of gift packs!! I do not tink any ang pow can recoup this money spent! And this is not inclusive of giving to relatives leh.. jia lat jia lat..

xuelyn, i oso agree tat if u trigger ur CL's anger now, u oso worried letting her handle ur bb cos dunno what she will do rite but i suppose no choice lor since ur confinement will go beyond cny (will it?) when are u due btw?

Oh..my bb cord dropped on his 10th day and PD actually prescribed a type of powder to replace the cord spirit - to help dry up the cord area.. now the cord area is completely dry and looks good! hahaha

I din pump this afternoon so my breast was full when bb latch on juz now.. i tink he had too much that he burped out the milk after that..wetting his shirt! :p funny..then he has hiccup

Eh..my MIL even worse ok! Went home and search high n low for my hb's bb photo, bring to my place and show my parents that Zach looks so much like my hb when he was young.. I was like puhleez.. which part of bb look like hb? Everyone say Zach dun even look like me or hb and she keep saying look like hb.. Today I onie answer her back..she bought pork over and she immediately put in fridge, so i told her i will get CL to wash the pork before freezing it..she say cannot wash else will spoil. I was like, dun wash? Later got pork smell how? Worse rite? Earlier this week ask her to buy fish, she nvr put in fridge, bring the fish to my house, the fish oso turn color and cause my whole house to smell like foul fish smell..so angry! I do not even wanna talk to her juz now..she come, i go inside the room.
 
Emeraldbride: I also have the boiled chix drumstick with DOM...it becomes VERY VERY sweet. I don't like it much but my CL said it's very good &amp; "bu" so i just drink it quickly.


Iemiko: I also give my boy Similac. I just bought a big tin today. The small tin i bought has only about 1/4 left. Btw, do you give your boy water? Is it ok if i give Preston some water since he takes 2 feeds of FM daily?


Gerry: I also sent them an email but no reply yet. I want to send cupcakes to my colleagues. Will let you know if i get a reply ok?


2nd baby: Hope your baby's diaper rash gets well soon!


Dee: My boy's cord stump dropped off totally when he was 10 days old. You have to continue cleaning the belly button area with the cord spirit/alcohol wipes.


Sam: Thanks...i bought a pack of instant coffee &amp; a tin of assorted crackers for my maid today. Will let her know these are hers and if she wants anything else in the cupboard, she just has to ask. I also bought some basic toiletries for her today.

Btw, what else do i need to prepare for my maid's arrival on Monday? Am a bit lost cos it's my 1st time employing a maid.


Today i sneaked off to AMK Hub with Hubby! Haha...went so shiok even it's just a visit to NTUC to buy some stuff.

Hi all, I just gave birth to my little gal on 17 Dec 08. Can help me update? Hee

Wt:2.985kg
Natural w epitual

Btw, i need some advices on BF.
I came home today n when i let BB latch on my right breast, n after awhile she suck, then next thing i know is tt she remove the nipple n there is blood on it........faint

N i let her suck the left 1, thou there is no blood, but when i check on it after ard 1hr later, there seem to have some rough skin on the nipple. Will the skin crack if I continue to let BB suck on it? Is it tt its gg to bleed also?
So worry now tt i can't BF my BB le.........

What should i do? Can I use the pump now to pump milk? I've not try the pump at all, just thou to try it tomo, but worry tt will have more blood come out.

So far, my milk not yet come in but can feel tt they r getting heavier. So now I worry tt if I can't pump cos bleeding then how? Sigh.......
 
Hi xiaohwa..

It is normal to have really sore, cracked or even bleeding nipples the first few times u let bb latch on.. Just always make sure that she latches on correctly.. Must teach her..

I had cracked and sore nipples too at the start.. a bit of bleeding if my girl feeds frequently.. but I always use my breast milk/colostrum to rub on my nipples and I also use purelan cream.. After a week of breastfeeding, my nipples are alright and no longer hurts when my girl latches on to eat.. U have to keep going at it.. If 1 nipple is more sore than the other, use the other one for the time being.. U can also pump while ur nipples heal.. But I just bear with it..

Loveangel..

ecreative also sells cupcakes although I dunno how they taste.. they are not bad looking but they have less designs.. better think of other options.. in case they dun reply..
 
hi fabbie

Hi gals,
Thanks. I will be posting most of the photos on my blog site as well!
happy.gif
I agree she's got nice red lips (can save lipstick cost in future). Me now breast feeding through EBM. I tried latching her on today but failed. My guess is she is getting too used to the NUK teats! *Argh!* Any of u got the same experience?

CORD:
My bb's cord dried n dropped off on Day 6 aft birth. Aft coming off, u will notice some yellow pus looking thing. It's not infection (unless it's smelly) but the jelly substance (the cord). So just dry n clean with cord spirit as per normal.
 


hi gals
my ger keep puking milk.. regardless EBM or FM..I also dun know why.. to the extend that after 2hrs feed, she still puke.. Its quite alot. We make sure that she burp already.. but why still have such reflux.. Does anyone know? We try not to put her straight down after she drink her milk etc.. But strange is 2 hrs later, she still puke quite an amount.. i very heartpain
