Infact im thinking if ster my bottles in office will change my load anot but i think again. Suan le. so manfan.. Now my office left 4 bottles and each time when i go office i would bring 2. So its better for me. rather than i everytime bring 6 bottles to work! haha. i bring 6 bottles bcus im scare that i may pump 3 times in office if i OT.

Yesterday first day of work okai ba.. but abit nua. Morning i at home i finish pump like 845pm at office i pump about 230pm and at night i pump like 11pm like that. Im thinking maybe i should pump in office like 3pm like that. Hmmm cus 230pm for me like abit too early. Hmm so fan.. but my supply still okai. i pump half of the bottle of pigeon i stop thats like 10oz for 15-20mins. Not emptying my whole breast. I do that only at home. Haiz. duno lar. timing like jump up and down de. hehe will see how today ba. hmmm
 
morning ladies

I miss my boy !!!! Going to be a long day at work today, lots of meeting and researches to do.

Gathering
In my opinion, I think it will be good to have a gathering at least once a month so that all of us can have the opportunity to meet up

Ytd i fought a losing battle w her.. She tong w/o milk from 10am till 6pm lor.. cos she wans only to latch!! until i surrender, bo bian give in let her latch.. she can somemore sneak a smile in between her latching.. guess she's saying " I win!!"

Snowger, I'm trying a NUK bottle on her now.. hopefully it works then I gotta sell away all my avent bottles liao.. sianz..
 
bur.... no need la... later i go toilet squirt my boob lor... i got manual also... but dun like coz too much work...

Juz... visually Ambrose is big... haha.. we must meet up with our babies.. coz hayden not so big but just as heavy... hahahaha...

xuelyn, hayden very nottie also.. he dun allow me to bottle feed him.. so on sat.. i let him win by latching him.. yesterday i win!! hahaha.. i pass him to my hubby and he bo bian so drink from bottle.. hahahaha...

jo, the gantry person kena from me up down left right liao... they going to reinburse my $40 taxi fare! hahahahahahahahahahaha
 
xuelyn

I didnt really think much about my gal leh cus i think im more into work than thinking of her. Haiz. but when im back home i see her i feel so sianz.. sianz that why i cannot take care of her everyday. and i think soon i will miss her more ba. Hope she remember me and will miss me!
 
Bur,
U drag ur pump everywhere? no wonder the bag give way! :p I usually bring the Avent manual pump (it's lighter) when I go out (e.g. visits, gathering, shopping). So far I only use e manual pump at my granny's, my mum's n mil's place. Only once I used outside of my comfort zone is during the baby fair at Expo (so diff to wait for a room and I gather stares cos y the hell I need a room if I have no baby to nurse! :p And my right breast so shy until little milk come out...)

Where do you pump if u happen to be in a shopping centre? When you going to stop BFing?

Fabbie,
Me lug PISA to office everyday - squeeze with pple in train damn siong. Usually i put the PISA bag on the floor. Buay tahan to carry it thru the whole trip! How can they bluff us? Show the ang moh lady smiling while carrying the PISA bag? I bet it was empty! -__-"
 
phyl,
Hayden also like tat ar? I die liao.. next wk when i go back to work my bb will starve.. Ytd I was at my MIL plc pass summer to my MIL n maid.. also cannot.. end up still pass back to me.. haiz...
now i got no mood to work liao.. keep thinking of extending my ML...

fabbie,
Summer got change meh? mayb i see her everyday no feeling liao.. Lolz.. She's driving crazy by going a milk strike.. so worried tat she'll starved!!! I'm ging mad heariing her constant cries n screams...!!
 
xuelyn,
Ur bb not that small lah. Mine is considered small ba. Not fat fat and not tall tall either!
sad.gif
My baby is a small drinker plus she is born small lah (2.65kg).

U will keep losing the battle until u do what phyl do! i.e. let someone else feed her bottle. Let me give u a tip on how to make her refuse to latch. Give her a teat with a faster flow (if she can cope). At least, my impatient baby prefers the bottle as it gives her milk faster than her latching (maybe my "let down" is a let down)... :p
 
xuelyn.. eh... let summer starve and scream.. she bo bian will drink one... hayden just wanna irritate me la.. haha.. in school he drinks very well... at home he latch ma.. but i cannot bottle feed him lor.. u get the sealing disc then next time can use the avent bottles as containers.. in hayden's school, a girl brings hardboil egg and fruits in 8oz bottles.... intend to do that in future... keke

chantelle, your bb girl can take bottle le ma?? or u expanded your bottle collection?
 
Snowger
Hahaha.. normally i bring 2 bags. haiz. and dun forget i still got my coolerbag! faints.. Snowger you bought out the pump only right.. not the bag ba? the bag is so ugly de.. hehe

xuelyn
yeah.. summer change alot le.. hehe I think maybe she needs attention now ba? or you try to change position or change places in feeding her? Or you try you feed her when carrying her for awhile.
 
fabbie, i usually pump 3 times in my office, once when i reach at 8.30am, then 1pm & b4 i go home, at 5.15pm... gotta pump in office whn i reach cause no time at hm, then after i bring bb hm, i shower, eat, play with her, then b4 i sleep, pump again...i tried different timing, this works for me...each pump about 8-10mins, plus setting up and stuff, bout 20mins in total...i intend to do it till she's 6mos...cause very siong...

snowger, ya loh, everywhr i go oso bring...jus have to leave the bag on the train floor...i pump in nursing rm or standalone handicapped toliet... hehehe, jus yesterday, i pump in wisma & raffles city nursing rm...& wisma one lousy loh, got no doors and no plug...
 
sigh.. gonna take snowger n phyl advise.. lata leave her at my MIl place then i go out n buy her NUK bottles.. hopefully she bo bian then will drink milk fr bottle..
 
LuthAdel,

Sam
My hb loves babies so he is all in for Bryan to mix around with other babies
happy.gif
 
fabbie,
I use the bag so tat I do not need to carry so many different bags. The cooler will be in the backpack. I find the bag ok lah. Just missing my handbags tt's all. :p

bur,
I dare not pump in toilet leh... U use batt for the PISA? I haven't tried the battery adaptor yet. :p Me intend to start cutting my ss when my bb hits 6months too. I will cut ss till it's equal to wat she drinks in 1 feed (yeah! no more need for milkbags!). Hopfully milk will dry when I hit 14 dec.
 
Btw.. ask you all. who got use medela quick clean for breastpumps and accessory wipes? so weird leh. i read it and i dun quite understand. haha mayb im topid. so i got to rinse my pump first then use the wipe to wipe my pump right? then later rinse it with water again is it? cus the wipes got abit soap leh.. anyone experience it before? hehe
 
I have checked with my PD and she says my gal is of average weight. Anyway, she drinks only 90ml every 3-4hours. If I try to give her more, she will try to spit the milk out or let the milk dribble out from the side of her mouth. Breastmilk very precious, cannot let her waste like that.
 
jamel,
What is ur girl's birth weight n her last wieght? Did ur PD tell u what is a good weight increase?

She drinks abt 85ml (mostly) to 115ml (v occassional). Usually, I give her 4oz each time (then she will help me waste 1oz). If I force her to finish, she oso let it dribble out fr side of mouth or making the vomit sound.

Fabbie,
So far I try not to use steriliser tablets or the wipes cos got chemical. I usually wash with e baby detergent I bring to office. ;P
 
fabbie
I agree with Snowger. I also just use baby detergent. Bought one big bottle and left it in office, will use it to wash my pump after each use.

jamel
I think my girl is the smallest here! At 3 months, she was 5kg, measured 63cm. PD said she is slightly below average, but wasn't too concerned. My girl drinks 90ml BM every 2-3 hours. You shouldn't force her to drink more if she cannot finish. Babies will grow at their own pace.
 
Today finally saw how the infantcare bathe Zach and today is the first time I heard Zach cry when bathing which nvr happen before. They fill up the tub wif water and they din lower him down slowly to let his feet test the water. They put him down into the tub immediately and then wash his head etc.. he got scared that's y cry! Saw it n i oso wanna cry.. really wanted to tell my hb tat i dun wanna work liao n wanna stay home to take care of him. Even when wiping his poo, they are not liek us mummies wipe slowly n carefully.. they juz wipe then turn on the shower head and wash hit butt and he got scared oso cos suddenly got water touch his skin n he oso cry! Sigh.. then i realise the teachers dun really communicate wif him..arrgghh..
 
kath ah.. erm.. the way the school takes care hor.. we must really close eyes la.. they are not like us coz they do this as a job and they do it everyday... they are not the parents ma... i learn to close my eyes tight tight liao... i have to live with my son lying on a rocker looking at the ceiling.. i also have to live with oily oily bottles.. i also have to live with them ignoring hayden coz he doesnt scream his head off to get attention from the teachers.... i saw them picking up a pacifier from the floor n sticking it into a child's mouth without washing it first.. i also saw the teacher open the door n a mobile baby kena whack in the face coz the teacher nv see her.. i also saw a baby climb the bookshelf and the teacher din see..... so we must learn to be blind....
 
Snowger
My gal's birth weight is 2.68kg. My PD wasn't very concern about her weight. I guess, I am the one who is paranoid about her weight and height... ha ha...
 
fabbie.. i put the pump parts in a lock n lock tupperware n leave it in the fridge after the first pump session then i wash after my 2nd pump session... i bring the pigeon bottle n vege cleaner thing...
 
I suppose i hv to close one eyes lor..todae got one toddler walk past Zach and hit his face and my blur blur boy never cry oso. The teacher sitting down thr do nothing..wat..sian!
 
BREAST MILK LELONG LELONG!!!
I think I have another batch of breastmilk to give away. If you wan please PM me ok? Kum siah many many...

Wow, infant care sounds scary! Btw, even if the child is taken care by your own mother/mil oso hv to turn a blind eye. Cos there are bound to be differences. :p

Jamel,
I oso paranoid by my ger's weight. Esp when I see chubby babies her age n hear pple comment "wah, your baby just born uh?". Tat day my parents just ask me to give my bb formula cos they think breast milk got no substance! :'( They retracted their statement aft seeing my bb recently... Sigh sigh...
 
1st day for A to be in IFC. I was there around 2hr+, principal tell me all rules n regulations. anyway, it's so funny... the principal asked not for the baby not to sleep on pillow, not to drink any sweet drinks & in future not to take any food with colouring (eg. vitagen, sweets); teacher said will train him to go zzz w/o pacifier. i think our baby will be commando style trained.

actually a bit upset. there's a 16mth old gal at IFC and she is even smaller size than A.

btw, that day at snowger's house, there's a short-hair mum who came for awhile and left. who is she?

bubble pearl - that's why that time when i carried ur boy, i said he is lighter... Did A grow up since the last time u saw him? He looks very much the same to me --- huge.

sam - yes, 7.65kg. doesn't he look like one?

Ivy - haha, thanks, we communicate over sms. my mil bought a maclaren daytripper at less than $100 at taka for A. Heard from her that need to get head support as it is meant more for 6mths onwards. although it's 3.8kg, heard that it can carry up to 25kg.

mayelynn - i used to call him king kong, but other mums told me don't call him that. but his growth is not that rapid anymore, so i don't call him king kong anymore. Anyway, he got many nicknames - piglet, small brownie, ambrozee, apazee, etc etc

ypg - the PD's clinic is right next to polyclinic. and polyclinic can get cheaper jab. i didn't get to be ard the sick pple. at the ticket kiosk, they send me straight to rm 15-17 for the jab, then send me to Dr for assessments. all ard me are mummies n babies. My colleague got big eyes which can melt guy's heart. that's why. Ambrose's eyes and lips starts to look more like mine... the rest still look like father's. i don't know if he is cranky today, coz i haven't fetch him from IFC.

piGgiCia - since i have seen hayden abt 1 mth back, i have give u some comparisions - A's head is much bigger than H's. A's chunky thighs look quite like H's. A's bones are not v heavy, which means the rest are fats. H is fairer than A. anyway, yes we can arrange for a meeting up. weekend is better.

Snowger - BM? i'm interested! can let me know how many bags and how much per bag? thanks!
 
fabbie, i oso got the wipes, jus open & oso find it very soapy leh, the instruction is to jus wipe, dun hv to rinse... think the soapy feeling will disappear after a while... but i nvr use to wipe my pump parts... usually i use and keep in a zip lock bag in my office fridge, then rinse with water b4 i go home.. when i am outside, i oso oni rinse with water and use again... thinks its ok cause my other coll. oso does that... i oso got the microwave bag but very leh jay leh...

Kath/Phyl... must agree that we must realli close our eyes when we put our babies at the IFC loh...i oso dun know what they did to cidney after i left... but at least i felt the teachers in my IFC are realli caring towards the babies...1 of it happens to be my mom's friend...
 
juz
haha, commando style training. that's funny.. :p

Bur
sometimes at home when I pump, I also just rinse with water. Anyway BM has its own antibodies, so it won't breed bacteria so easily.
 
bur/phyl
i also got the mircowave bag. i got 1.. and i scare i blow up my company mircowave thats why no need! Oh so meaning once i pump finish i rinse my pump in a container and then i put it in the frigde(not freezer)? then when i want to pump again i take it out and rinse with water then i use it huh. is it?

I cannot be taking degent to office. my toliet is public de. hahah and it look so topid if im taking a bucket. hahah
 
juz
piglet, small brownie, ambrozee, ok can understand.
BUDDEN... what is apazee????????????? wahhahahahhahah sounds funny leh!

my boy is Ryan... his nicks are Lion, Layang because my mil and my husband's grandma are hokkien pai.. so they cant pronounce properly.. They call me Teh See coz cant pronounce my name too.
sad.gif
 
mayelyn ..

hahahah ... eh, I have the same problem .. my mother-in-law is Teochew and she can't say my name to save her life .. come on, man .. how hard is it to say "SAM" ???!! .. she calls me "Ah-SIM" ... *sigh*

Before we got married she asked my hubby why can't my name be something easier to pronounce like "Helen" ... eh, what the hell .. can say "Helen" can't pronounce "SAM"???!!!

hahahahahahaha.

So yes, I can understand your Teh See and La-yang ... hahahah
happy.gif
 


juz.. those will become good habits in future... i hope my son will nv be like me.. no veg, fish n chips, mac, chocolates, coke blah blah... but well.. i cant hope for too much.. haha... hmm.. Hayden's head is also 41cm... he is 61cm though and his weight is 7.5kg at 3mths 5 days old... maybe he got heavier bones... haha... Hayden has a big big tummy.. esp round after a full feed... hmm.. you colleagues says big eyes can melt a guy's heart?? but ambrose is a boy!! hahaha... the korean pop star rain can melt my heart.. haha.. i think hayden's eyes are smaller than ambrose's eyes.. cool cool.. we'll meet up one weekend ya!! SUMO gathering..

cheer up ya.. u haven't seen hayden being glued to me all day.... haha.. ask carmen n bur.. they see b4... ambrose will grow out of it soon.. smile at him often.. he'll be cheery in no time! =)
