hi iemiko / xiaopooh,
thanks! will let HB koe to decide on the vacinnation. i koe polyclinic is free but like what xiao_pooh says, I worried the polyclinc too sickly environment & scared long wait will affect baby.
ehh, my baby's cord also not drop off yet, today is Day 11 already...however I got wipe w cord spirit everyday leh..
Oh whens the best time to express out? Before baby latches on or after baby finish latching on?
Then for the breastpump, do u sterlise after use & sterlise again before use? OR just sterlise after use & can immediately use it straight away for next use without sterlising again.

Juz,
I got my $750 about 2 to 3 weeks after applying. I got the balance $250 about 2 weeks after the $750. Cause my BB is born b4 the law is passed officially. I think u will receive $1k in about 2 to 3 weeks after applying.
As for CDA, according to MCYS, it will be much later. Hence I wrote in to ask them to send me the letter to open CDA account sooner. I got it about 1 week after my email. Quite fast. You can write in if you want to use CDA for your child 6-in-1 injection since it include Hep B which your BB need to inject around 2nd month. If you go polyclinic, Hep B will be injected at the 1st month since polyclinic dun have 6-in-1.
I choose polyclinic as the cost is cheaper. I choose 5-in-1 for my BB. 1st jab at her 3rd month. 4 jabs at $87.40 each. That is $350. If used CDA, I only paid $175.
Let me know if you need more info on BB jab, I got a hard time trying to understand it. Got nasty stare from the nurse also. Hehe...
Carmen,
My BB cord only drop off 1 day b4 her full month celebration. She got stubborn cord. So we got to pay extra care when bathing her. B4 her bath, we use sesame oil on her belly button. We still doing it now, to prevent water from entering her belly button. So less chance of colic or wind. Any mummy do this also?

Carmen, my David also has baby acnes on his chin and cheek. At first I was also quite disturbed. My Pedia gave him antibiotic cream, but I dun want to apply it. I just clean his face with cooled boiled water after each feed, seems to be better already. Read on some websites that baby acne is caused by residual hormones from the mummy. They'll clear by themselves one. ^^
Carmen: Preston's fsce also has these pimple-like rash. My CL said it's due to heatiness, just leave it alone and it'll go away.
But i still apply a tiny bit of aloe vera gel to his whole face.
Iemiko: Ok, then i'll give Preston a little bit of water. Max 10ml is it? Must be boiled cooled water?
Pastillies: Don't worry, Preston's cord stump only dropped off on 12th day!

Hi ladies,
i feel so discouraged. Day 8 already and i can only pump 20ml after 1 hour. Bb keeps crying after latching on for 40min and CL keeps saying not enough milk. Make me so stressed and depressed.
Cried when i had to give bb formula milk. Can anybody help advise what i can do to increase milk supply? Will fenugeek pills cause engorgement if i take them? I got some hard lumps but they slowly softening after massage.
depressed.....

adelchia, dun cry!! U juz hv to turn a deaf ear to ur CL!! Don't give up on latching and pumping. It will help to stimulate milk production. Did u use a warm towel to cover ur breast before pumping? Massage ur breast before pump? Drink a warm cup of red dates tea or hot milo before pumping.. u must keep urself hydrated in order for milk to come in!! Ask ur CL to stop her comments and cook u more steam fish or papaya soup or black bean soup to increase supply lar..hahaha
Got hard lump means got engorgement, got engorgement means got milk ah..so dun give up ya!
So angry with my MIL, juz now came to my place and immediately whip out an envelope with old photos of her younger son now saying that my baby looks like him. show me the photos, i really wanna ask which part other than the private area is similar to his sons? I dont even wanna hold tat photo less talk to her after tat..one more time she mention that, i will not hesitate to tell her off..make my blood boil!

Hi Adel,
do u take fish and take alot of fluid to help to increase breast milk. Try to rest more and relax. I find that help as well. Think we are too stress over breastfeeding.
Cos i always told my hubby i find myself useless cos dun have enough milk for bb. He have to keep reminding me that my milk supply have increase. Cos my boy was on total EBM for 2days liao.
Everyday eat fish till i sian already. Dun get too stress up ok. If really not enough FM also good lar.

Hi gals,
take it easy that when MIL mention that your baby look like hubby. I heard these comments since day 1 when i have my elder boy. Till now my boy going to be 3 yrs old liao he still look very much like his daddy and his action like daddy as well.
Now with my newborn the same thing happen. Keep saying that my boy look like his daddy. and look like his elder bro when he is a baby. Even my own granny think that my 2 kids look like my hubby loh. I can only tell myself they look like daddy cos they are his sons. Wat to do? They look like daddy is better than they look like someone else rite?

AdelChia,
i oso experience the same thing when bb was in his 1st week like not enough milk... pumping for almost 1hr & got only less than 10ml for both sides, but i never giv up.. so u also dun giv up, continue to let ur bb latch on as often as possible, and slowly ur BM will increase... drink more fluid, take a hot bath / hot drink before pumping milk, it helps!
my bb is now 2 wks old, and now my supply is quite stable already, which i can get 200ml for both sides within 15mins, however i dun pump often, only 1-2 times a day coz i try to go for total latch on...
so dun giv up easily, JIAYOU, ok?

jappooh, u urself oso agree that ur bb look like hb so is okay..but the prob is my bb dun even look like hb or myself..hahaha. Even my own parents say he dun look like anyone of us or even anyone in the family!!
Hi emeraldbride,
oic. my 2 kids indeed look like my hubby so i just keep quiet. Sometime i did comment to my hubby that like i dun give birth to them like that. My MIL will also dig out my hubby photos to show that how they look alike.
If your baby dun look like anyone then your in law should say that look like your hubby rite? Maybe she was wan to show the baby belong to your hubby??

Adel, dun be too upset k..u've did ur best in BF. turning to FM is prefectly fine.
I was super super depress in the first few days after discharge fm hospital as the inital Colostrum wasnt enuff to keep baby full & satisfied. Coupled sore/painful nipples & my CL also keep say i got not enuff milk shd supplement with FM, really make me so depress.
In the end when i gave in to 1 feed of formula, baby really slept so well after tat. I also cried when having to give in to that formula feed, & when i see baby sleeping so well i cried even more as was thinking whether my insistence on BF w/o FM was doing bb harm or good.
Anyway after that 1 Formula feed, I was determine to hack care what my CL says. So when she keeps saying bb got nt enuff milk, i just tell her "nvm i'll feed more frequently then".
BM flow only start to improve few days later. My cousin was telling me not to try expressing in the first few days as the yield is too little & u'll be even more demoralise. Just increase the suckling frequency = feed on demand. Now its feed on demand, which is tiring but i'm still trying to hang in there.
So hang in there gal.
Even now @ day 11, I also dun get alot when i express out. HB thinks i'm too stress out over expressing out milk, which i think so too...so gotta try to relax our minds when feeding baby & expressing..
same as what Jappooh & emeraldbride says, eat more fish & drink more fluids.

the weather now has turned cooler. My bb has developed mucus and snores/choke in her slp and during breastfeeding time inhales very noisily.... very heartache & cried to see such a fragile bub to suffer like this T__T Better to swaddle bb up than let the chilly wind get them sick k.
Breastmilk supply. I don't pump and only collect the leaked amount which comes up to 50ml~60ml from the non feeding breast per feed.... If I should pump, when is the best time to get the best yield?? Bb's appetite seems to be growing... Tot I can reach 1.5hrs or 2hrs interval latching but seems like its gone back to 0.5hrs again.... so shiong.... I really dun want to depend on FM..... sad......

hi ladies,
Thanks for all the advice. I initially drank the fish soup daily, then got engorged so stopped. Think will continue after I can clear engorgement.
There is just a lot of pressure from parents, in laws and the CL who keep nagging that my milk is not enough, make me more stress.
And my CL insist I can't drink water, so I got dehydration. Then only yesterday my MIL scolded me for not drinking water.
Who can I blame? so many conflicting advice.
Now I try to hand express more coz I find it more effective than pump. Hopefully when mature milk come in then the supply is more.
Thanks all for being listening ear. Really grateful for frens like u...
Now I massaging and wait for bb to wake to feed.

I sometimes pump also dun get so much fm 1 side..

I also find the leaking milk very wasteful when bb latches, but how to pump? I need to hold bb where got hands to still hold the pump to express? moreover everytime bb needs his milk, he where got so good wait for me to finish sterlising again the breastpump parts, so have been just letting it leak lor

Since now polyclinics under 2 health groups, I think got difference. Coz phyl's polyclinic got 6-in-1, mine (Bedok) told me dun have and no package fee also. So I got to go for Hep B at my BB 1st month n 6th month.
Actually jab are free unless you go for extra. For Singaporean BB, you dun have to pay for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Poliomyelitis (DTP, Polio) but if I want to inject against meningitis caused by Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), you got to take 5-in-1 jabs and pay. In another word, I am paying $350 for this Hib jab.
According to the leaflet I got from polyclinic, it stated that Hib vaccinese have not been included in the National Childhood Immunisation Programme as Hib meningitis is uncommon in Singapore. As for why chickenpox not included in the free jabs, it is because chickenpox causes only a mild illness in childhood.
But I kiasu parent, so decided to go for 5-in-1 and chickenpox (I think around BB 1st birthday). I think chickenpox vaccination is a must, cause I heart pain to see my BB suffering. I got chickenpox when I am 13. Till now can still remember the suffering.
I will forward you my email to MCYS.

iemik0,
gosh, thankfully everything went OK with ur #1.. yeah, usually the parents just boh-chap what their kids do.. which i find not to be good for the children because they need boundaries and disciplines..
one good thing will be is, our boys will have playmates and they can share alot of things coz their age gap is only 1yr..
will u try for a gal? hee..
ypg,
are the jabs given by polyclinics for Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus, Poliomyelitis (DTP, Polio) SINGLE jabs?

marilyn, 5 minutes is actually quite long to heat up the BM leh.. i tot it will spoil the nutrient/
Iemiko: Thanks...i'll give max 10ml then. How many times should i give him water daily? He takes 2 or 3 feeds FM daily.
Kath: I use Avent express warmer to heat up milk from the fridge. It takes about 5 min using Setting 3. Can't help you about frozen milk cos i don't freeze my EBM.
Ike: You can leak so much!! Wow, your ss must be very good!
Jowin: Until now, Preston has never slept through the night. I think it's still too soon for them to do so cos their tummies are small and they can't drink much water at one go. Even when Preston takes FM, he can only last 3 hours before he wakes up again.
Bubblepearl: How long did you take the med before your BM ss stopped? Did you put cabbage?
Carmen: Preston also has the bumpy-rash on his face. I googled and i think it's baby acne. It's supposed to disappear on its own. My CL said that he's heaty so i'm going to start giving some water cos he drinks FM for some feeds.

I dun think so. As stated in the health booklet, my BB got to take it at 3rd, 4th, 5th and 18th month. So in total 4 jabs. But polyclinic say can take Hep B (supposed to be taken in 6th month) together with the DPT at 5th month.
My mum give my BB pao4 sheng1 to eat b4 her jab so that she wun have fever after that. She din have fever after her Hep B jab but actually nurse at polyclinic say Hep B jab wun give fever. So I am still monitoring the effect of pao sheng. If at next month, my BB din have fever after her DPT jab then I think pao sheng work. Will update you gals later.
Baby pimples
I apply toothpaste on my BB face as advised by her nanny. Those children type of toothpaste. It works well on her. At 1st I quite hesitate to apply cause I read on baby website, it will go off itself but it din go off and it's getting worse so bo bian got to trust old wives' tales. Luckily it works.

emeraldbride: LOL...just take your MIL's comments with a pinch of salt lah. Mine even said that David's cry is exactly like his daddy's. (-_-") Oh well.
The few times I gave EBM, I warmed up the milk with 40 degrees celsius water slowly (took a whole 10 mins).
Adel: Dun worry. My MIL also keeps hinting that I dun have enough breast milk, and that I'm starving my baby. She even said her supply last time was so abundant the milk will spray all over baby's face when she's feeding (she prob think that's the only kind of supply that will fulfil baby's needs)! As long as baby is generating enough wet and poop diapers, then there is no problem. Pumping is not the best indicator of breast milk ss. Usually, electric pumps cannot drain milk from the breasts as efficiently as the baby. Dun give up! You're doing what is best for baby! Jiayou!
ypg: Baby so small can eat pao sheng meh?

emeraldbride, for frozen EBM i usually bring it down fm freezer to let it thaw in the fridge. Eg I've been doing my massages these few days. I'll bring down the frozen EBM the nite before & it will be thaw by next morning. To heat up, I also use food warmer. I not sure how long it takes but HB says take super long, like 10min..
but then the temperature is not very hot/high, cos after warming up the milk HB says like room temp not warm enuff. then my CL says its enuff cos after all when BB drinks our BM is also not hot one.
baby pimples: I just leave them alone. Read that it will go away on its own leh...
Bubble, how come u doing 40 days confinement ah??
i super buay tahan this whole confienment thingy..I also counting down to end confinement.. another 18 more days

i havent done it cos havent gone out yet, but i guess 2 ways if BB needs milk when we go out:
1. BF.
2. same thing, bring down fm the freezer to the fridge in advance (say the nite before), then we can go out with the cold EBM & heat up with warm water when outside. Alt i actually hv half a mind to just bring along the food warmer since its quite small. (just need to find electrical outlet)
But not sure once the EBM leaves the fridge got to use by when....anyone koes?
