emeraldbride, how to noe if they are reputable? Cos I dunno if online spree socks cheaper or I should just buy from Fox baby... *confused*
 


Snowger
Lol... till now i haven kana and i hope wont be that sway lor..

Kath
i think the seller damn CHAM sia!

Till now i didnt hear about baby products kana corn so i think its safe ba? lol

Jappoh
if snowger dun wan. i take. =) yours what brand de?
 
emeraldbride - ya, i also wanted to ask why like that... not all babies are so guai, Ambrose is one very cranky one... the babies she has taken care before are her two kids & according to her, they are v guai. yes, paid $600 to her last Mon. sigh, i don't even want to discuss abt refund with her now. I just want to settle with boss and infant care ctr... and collect all baby's stuff from her on Sat. I haven't let her know when is the last day.

fabbie - Ambrose is cranky even with me... so haiz... but i think infant care won't say they quit lor.
 
So far participated in many BPs, there was one time when I bought the diaper bag but was a scam. Then buyers reported police and finally seller refunded money. Recent one I participated in the BP but my item was lost in the mail. There are some BPs which prices are not cheap actually.
 
Jappooh,
U not pumping to store liao? I dun mind buying la. U post how much and what brand. I use abt 2-3 bags per day... so per month i use up about 60 milk bags n I fill them up slightly more else siong uh...

Fabbie,
u got buy online? in the end how much?

Snowger/fabbie,

my milk bags is Lansinoh. That time i bought 100 bags. Now only using the 2nd bag of 25pcs so still have 50 left.

Cos usually i pump and store at the avent cup in the fridge cos can keep 2 days. So most time i will have 2 days supply for my baby. Extra then i freeze. Each day i usually freeze 1x of 180ml loh. AS i am going back to work on 31 mar and i cant pump in office. I can predict my supply will drop. So i hope i can pump at least 2x per day to keep some supply. That i will give my baby everyday lar. Not enough then give those in freezer and fm loh.

wow u use 2 to 3 bags every day? That is alot lei? How much u store in 1 bag?

I go and see how much i pay for it and let u knw ok?
 
snowger
vpost was like 12+ and everything i buy was like 15 bucks.. I havent got my milkbags yet.. its quite cheap leh! i duno how my sis buy for me de.. and 15 bucks i order 1 breast wipe for ster bottles de and 2 milk bags. I hope my order is not wrong lor. still waiting. for today to arrive. i buy from amazon

Jappoh
i think u can sell to snowger.. cus i just check mine is enff.. got 3 boxes hehe
 
snowger,
for me i dun have the box lei. Cos the postage is more exwith box or i opt out. Do u mind?

fabbie,
usually how much milk u store in 1 milk bags? Wonder why need so many milk bags.

beside the milk bags i still have 11 avent storage cup (can store 180ml) in fridge. That i can sterlise loh. The milk bag have to throw away right cant recycle rite?
 
jappooh
1 milk bag i store 5 to 6oz now.
Normally i not enff bottles then i will put in my milkbag lor. my bottles like got 8-9 like that.. today hit record from last pump was 11pm.. then morning i had my first pump 9am. and i got was 4 bottles of 5oz! wahh i think im not eating antibiotics liao my supply went up! Usually i pump 1 day 3 times nia. so usage of bottles quite alot so i need alot of bags lor
 
Hi snowger
1 day i also can use 2 milkbag like tat.. Now i running out too. I dun dare to buy another 50 cos i keep have this mind of stop BF.. Now hor.. i still pumping.. dun know shd buy anot.. haha..

Hi Fabbie
I think the $15 milk bag shd be 50 bags one??? cos i bought it at $16, plus shipping abt $4.. so $20...of course the spree owner will earn abit
 
fabbie,

wow 20oz that is alot lei. For me most is 11oz loh. So far have exceed 11 oz. hee.. I also lazy only pump 3x per day max. Sometime pump 2x. Then the milk will leak onto the breast pad. The breast pad all wet liao. So wasted loh.

usually i will use 2 avent cups to store for each pump. Unless all 11 avent cup and 4 bottles use up liao (means have at least 2 to 3 days supply for my boy) then extra i pour into milk bag. I dun wan to freeze too much cos hear antibodies will be lost loh. SO try to give fresh one extra then freeze
 
jowinbaby,
i think i pay ard $40 for 100 bags loh. It already consider cheap compare to those sell in kiddy palace..

I hope to continue to five bb EBM if i can keep my supply by just pumping 2x per day at 7am and 730pm each day loh. Dunno can anot..
 
FABBIE!!!! 20oz of milk in 10hrs????? faint!!!
AFter i stopped my antibiotics.. i can only yield 10oz...( 2 bottles of 5oz)in 6hrs...U really breastmilk queen...hahaha!!

But hor.. how are u going to stop naturally ah when u have so much milk.. the longer u drag.. only seem to collect more milk... I think u need a long time to stop totally leh.. usually normal people will take 2 weeks...No offence
 
Hi japooh
I do not have a good breast structure tat allow me not to pump so frequently.. 6hrs interval, i can feel the pain n very full already.. infections n blocks kicks in.. Envy tat u can tolerate 12 hrs.. its more convenient this way especially at work, yet u still get to bf your baby.

I read from article tat if you decided to freeze the milk, its better to pump it out n get it freeze right away , better than storing in fridge for 1day then freeze to prevent too much of the metallic taste... Although, it is also ok to delay n freeze later.

Yes, the milkbag around tat price.. $20 per 50bags
 
Fabbie,
ya i think u need longer to stop bm in future. U can still pump just dun empty when u pump slowly the milk supply will go down. If can dun take med to stop the milk. Heard is not that good.

jowinbaby,
now i am trying to drag my pumping to 9hrs. then 12hrs. Cos i can only pump at 7am and 730pm after i go back to work on 31 mar. Currently i have already drag to like 9 to 10hrs then pump. The milk supply do drop abit loh. Now like each pump is 10oz like that. I use to get that last time at 7hrs interval. Wat to do?? So mostly go back to work have to give my frozen bm or fm loh. I hope i can partial bm my baby till he is 6mths old. My 1st boy i only give 2mths+ cos after go back work didnt give liao.
 
jowinbaby,
currently i havent reach the 12 hrs. Only like once awhile can tahan 12 hrs. Then i can feel my breast get so full and hard. But the pain still can tahan. Those that i keep in the fridge i dun freeze anymore. That is for my baby to drink. Cos bm in fridge can keep 48hrs. So those confirm will be consumed by 48hrs. For those that i freeze i will freeze immed after i pump out. So once all my cups and bottles are used up. I will freeze liao. Cos those in fridge will be enough to last loh.
 
jowinbaby,
i understand the pain when have infection and block ducts. Cos i gena once and it take more than 1 wk to fully recover from the fever. I hope i can tolerate 12 hrs then i still can give my baby partial bm.

Even now i pump milk i squeeze till my breast like blue black and always feel pain at the breast dun to the pumping. Sometime the side of the nipple will bleed loh. Breastfeeding is so xin ku.
 
Hi Jappooh
Understand..
Though i keep ranting that i wanna give up.. Always there is something will hold me back. My friend just suggest me to change pump to see if i get block anot...so i maybe will borrow from my cousin another pump to try. The max i can go is 6 hrs...my infection just heal too..

At work, i can only pump at lunch n after work.. But still these pump time are not fixed as i run events &amp; involve in alot of projects.therefore tonns of meetings. Meeting halfway cannot excuse myself to go pump ma..
sad.gif


Same.. mine will be Frozen EBM &amp; FM will i start work. i can only give abt 4 feeds of frozen EBM &amp; 2 feed by FM daily. EBM not so much to give her total 6 feeds per day.

SIANZ
 
jowinbaby,

i hope that i can still pump after go back to work and give 3x fresh bm, 2x frozen EBM and 1x fm loh.

When the side of my nipple crack i cant use pump if not my milk will have blood. So i use my hand to squeeze out the milk and collect in the avent cup. I do that for 5days on my left breast till the crack heal. Now back to use pump for both side.

actually i can pump during lunch but have to do that in toilet which i not very keen on. and i wont have time for lunch liao. So decide not to pump in office. so i need to go back hm on the dot to pump. Hope my boss will understand that.
 
jowin
the 15bucks is included 2 milkbag and 1 40pcs of ster wipes leh from medela. Damn it.. i must reconfirm when i get my items. but it seems like vpost taking alot of time! cus tat time i miss my mail and they say will send to me.. till today havent.. I call them they say tmw. arghz..

Ya.. today when i pump then i know but i pump more than 15 mins. maybe 30 -45 mins. ba.. Haiz.. i also duno how to stop naturally.. cus i prefer stop naturally and not getting med. Maybe MAYBE when i plan for 2nd one then i stop. Or maybe 6mths - 1yr i will stop. Im thinking if i faithfully pump for 4hrs i will get how much. sianz. i think in office i will pump max 2bottles then i will stop. and not collecting. IF i pump like for 30 mins i think i got enff bottles liao. Hmmm

Jappooh
I dun have leaking before leh. unless i take out my bra then confirm leak liao lor.

Ya i think when working i limit myself to 2 bottles so i wont waste so much time. on pump and hope it will decrease abit more ba. Hmm Ya i know i heard that take med also not good. Haiz. really need to try so much things. but i scare if i dun empty my breast hor.. the supply will come very fast. and i need to pump earlier and not 6hrs =(

Jappooh i also pump till my nipple blueblack lol and abit chip off my nipple there.. but still can bear the pain.
 
Jappooh,
Ur nipple cracked? Is it cos ur shield size wrong? I stopped using soap. Cos too drying, so crack easily. Then too much nipple cream will cause clogged ducts.

My milk ss so far ok. It dropped once aft my first infection. After tat I did not bother to increase ss cos my ger dun drink tat much (now oni drink 4oz). My ss is 5oz for 3hrs,7-8oz for 4hrs, 10oz for 6 hrs. I dun like to pump aft 6 hrs cos when i massage, it will be dripping madly. It takes esp long for me to empty my breast totally (I still stick to pump finish within 15mins, max 20 mins).

I waste a lot of money to store the milk in freezer. my ger so far no need to touch my store of freezer milk. I oso like u - let her drink the my latest pump! I usually freeze about 7 to 8oz in one bag (sometimes more than 8 oz somtimes 6 oz - depending how much milk remains that day).

The bag can't recycle lor. Cos not sterile liao. My MIL washed the bag and use it to store her sewing stuff (like buttons/sequins,etc) cos got double zip. *keke*

Jowin,
Dun stop la, try another brand. If still the same, then u consider la. At most I sell u 25 bags each time lor.

You may want to try avent... I use avent manual occassionally to fully empty out the BM. But 2hrs later, I will be suffering cos the productin milk will make me feel as though I kena pinched! Not to mention itt can take v long to pump both sides and if my let down is super slow it takes even longer...
 
fabbie,
so good no leakage? For me is my breastpad b4 wet lei.if u dun empty your breast the supply will drop. cos it tell our brain the baby dun need that much of milk liao
 
Hi Snowger
wah.. u got exactly same milk ss as me.. 6hrs also 10oz.. Yes, at 6hrs, it take longer to empty the breast especially they harden up like rock..

I also waste alot of $.. not just on milkbags but also to KKH to clear the blocks n infection..

So far, my girl all drink fresh.. only once awhile i will thaw the milk cos the expiry date of the frozen milk reaching soon.

I dun have people to lend me avent or PISA.. only ameda.. i dun wan to invest in another pump cos who knows i just wanna stop..

Ok.. can sell me 25bags each time when i finish using..
 
Snowger,
my boy only touch my freeze one when i go hongkong for holdiday with my No 1 and hubby.

I didnt let my baby dirnk the latest pump. But like those that can store for 2 days. eg: Today he will drink yesterday pump..

So do u wan the 50 milk bags? At $20. I dun have the box lar if u dun mind.

All along i am using that pump just that i think sometime i pump more than 15mins so it painful. I also find the manual one can empty the breast better. But i lazy to use that liao. I usually squeeze my breast to empty it. But at times i still feel the pinch after pump. like needles poke like that dunno why?
 
Hi SNowger
forget to tell u

i might be late for the gathering as my HB's family day is also the same day till 12:30pm.. Then i need to rush home pump milk 1st then i can come. Paiseh.. this HB, today then inform me tat got family day.. he thought that his wife daily free at home &amp; reserve just for him.

Lunch wise.. i inform u again.
 
Jappooh,
I get the needles feeling/sharp pain usually 1/2 to 2hrs aft the pump. It's actually what i term the "download" of the milk. Sometimes, can see milk spray out. Tara mayb selling her milk bags to me. I go back and see how many i have then i tell u ok? U not coming for the gathering uh?

Jowin,
Bring ur pump to my place lor. Then can pump 3hrly mah... ;)

Can lar. I just sell u $10 for 25 bags lor. Cos i buy $20 for 50 bags. Unless I spree it online on my own, cheaper then I sell u cheaper lor.

snowger
after pump i always put nipple cream leh.. not really will cause clogged ducts. usually before pump will get a wet cotton and just clean at my nipple there then later take a dry cloth and clean it(make sure no white white) then i put nipple cream.

Btw you start work liao is it?? you start work liao and ya gal still havent touch ya freezer breast milk??

Jowin

jowin
I know liao lar.. you try snowger pump(PISA).. so you just bring bottles nia. no need to bring Pump! then u try the difference.. dun scare you can hide in the room.. i wait for you outside to see whats your outcome of experience of PISA and freestyle. whenu pump finish LOL hahha
 
bb on total BM
is it normal for bb's poo-poo to have no curds?
i noticed that my bb for a period of time will have curds on his yellow/orange poo but today his poopoo is bright orange w/ no curd..
anyone bb also like that?
 
dee
sometimes mine will like that at times.. like all creamy no little curds. at most she 1 day 1 time..or sometimes didnt poo must wait till 4 to 5 days.

btw ask you all gals.. when u all bring your baby out to shopping or whatever.. Are they drinking as usual? or their intake is very little? they dun wan to drink much when they are outside? cause mine can dun drink milk one leh. can only drink 1oz only. -___-
 
fabbie,
ya, mine didn't poo for a few days and then today poo 3 times in a span of less than 1 hr.. all like watery.. no "liao" with it..

bb really testing my limit.. didn't want me to put him lying down.. want to be put to standing most time.. while standing can gimme that happy grin.. *haiyo*
 
dee
LOl is like that de.. BM poo is watery de. and they can dun poo for 1week also okai. my PD told me that.. Hahaha same! my gal love to stand! she hates to lie down de.. duno why... wah. happily sleep in the sling?! mine canont once i bring her out.. her eyes look here and there.. then once i stop walking she will scream =( and its time for milk she doesnt want to drink. I think she's too curious outside world le. Haiz. usually my gal very naughty out of no where she can scream "AHHHHHH" faints.

btw i got 12 pair of tollyjoy breastpads anyone interested? im giving away.
 
fabbie,
i see.. thx for the re-assurance..
oh, this prince when awake and felt that his carriage (a.k.a yours truly) will give eh-eh warning.. then u'll see his facial expression change.. if carriage still not moving, then comes that loud siren! faint!

BabyFair
Eh merydith was telling me that we can bring old pigeon bottles there and exchange a new one is it?? anyone knows? is it include teats? just want to reconfirm so i can bring down my pigeon bottles haha.
 
mayelynn
i see other website they say for last year is "you can still trade in your used bottles for 50% discount for pigeon bottle. dun think they will so good to give u 1 to 1 exchange ba. like that they lugi? lol
 
fabbie, mayelynn, for pigeon bottles, can trade in old for new and pay half price. Last year I always do that. Trade in old for new one. But hor, the teats is s size one. Cant choose the size of the teats. But can change the size of the bottle, meaning fr standard size bottle to the wide neck size bottle or vice versa.
