i've been eating alot of fenugreek but no effect leh!
i recalled someone using moti-something?
which mommy ah?
 
phyl
so good can end at 1.30. d eat wif family day makes no diff to mi lei. i still gotta stay until all my patients finish c dr den can go off. =(

rachel
u gg work den who look afta jordan?
 
dee
it's me, i'm using motillium. been using it for the last 1-2 months. find that it does help with my milk supply. you can PM me for more details.
 
iemiko...when i start working will pass Jordan to nanny living upstairs lor....still thinking whether or not to pass him to nanny or IFC.. who takes care of ur boys? IFC at least can use CDA to pay but nanny cannot..but with nanny he gets more personal attention than in IFC, though much more expensive...

Echo...can i also PM u on the motillium? Need to increase my milk ss if not i gotta give up BF-ing liao..
 
rachel
my aunt n sis take turns to look afta kayson n jayzon is in childcare. there r pros n cons wif nanny or ifc. so u gotta weigh d pros n cons n c how.
 
yea....the job offer came sort of last min so for the time being i put him with nanny first...then from 2nd month see how...if he is comfortable with nanny then regardless of how expensive i tink hubby would also prefer to send him there..

Will really weigh carefully...
 
Hello mummies! Long time no post...today on leave, so can stay at home with David *YAY*

David suddenly don't want to drink milk again. Dunno what's wrong. Yesterday only drank about 200ml of EBM altogether. And he dun wan brown rice cereal. Any mummies got same experience?

I got desperate, so I grind rice into powder and cooked porridge for him. He took a nice big cup (I think about 50ml)! After that, took a quarter of a banana. Think he self-weaning. Siao liao... like that must introduce different food faster, or not enough nutrients.

dee, the last time my milk supply dipped (I thought period coming), fenugreek worked a little for me leh. My mum said I lack of tonic, so she made the chicken ginseng soup for me. After that, my milk supply bounced back...
 
phyl,

whether it's a SAHM or housewife .. I wouldn't want to be if I didn't have enough money or a car. lol. the title is irrelevant :p
but "housefly" .. ?!!!! hahahahah

rachel,

hahahhahahaahah !! So you start work next week huh?
happy.gif
 
echo,
U've got mail..

spaghetti,
tonic? maybe i lack tonic too?
i dare not take ginseng for fear that bb will be too alert and don't want to sleep at night..
did you have a problem with that?
what kind of ginseng did you take? korean/american/china?
thx thx..

sam,
mean now u hav enough $$$ tat's why u r now a SAHM? kekeke...

for me i also dun wan to be SAHM but no choice, will hav to endure for the 1st few years... SAHM is a boring job & seriously i dun really like to look after children coz i'm not good into this... hehe!
 
jes,

oh, i heard about the yu guo in the forum also.. but too far for me.. HB sure resist going there.. like going to the other end of the world lidat..

SAHM,

if marry a korean/japanase sure they make the wife be SAHM..
happy.gif
 
dee,

btw, do u bring ur kids to see TCM often?

yalor most korean & japanese wan their wife to be SAHM one... non of my ex Korean boss/colleague wife working one, & all their salary will go to their wife one ler somemore(tat's wat my ex korean colleague told me), not bad hor... keke
 
jes, yea i totally agree wif u..being a SAHM is really boring...there is no where else to run to when i know that jordan is only throwing his tantrums n does not really need me..not to mention the endless chores...

bur, sama sama here..jordan doesn't latch so i hv been pumping these 6 months too....i did think of giving up BF-ing esp my ss dropped so drastically since ytd...
 
sam, yea im starting work next week.... dunno whether i shd b happy anot....i'm just thankful that the co is willing to hire me despite me being jobless for 7 mths....so i just go n try lor, if i still prefer to be a boring SAHM then will see how...
 
jes

bur
how many times are u pumping. try to stretch the timing so no need to pump at night lah. me total bf. i pump 4 or 5 times a day. last pump & feed at 11.30 pm. next pump & feed at 6 am. but still not enough sleep but boh pian have to work. then sat & sun will go back to sleep till 8+.
 
Me too thinking of stopping many times but each time after i say tat i will feel guilty for having that thoughts.. my supply oso dropped cos i had fever yesterday due to blocked ducts.. now still blocked, so can onie keep massaging and asking Zach to unclog it..hehe. Now i m pumping 3x a day.. 12.30pm, 6pm and 11pm. The pumping time is abit irregular

PD gave me a tin of Enfapro to try when Zach turns 6mths.. mabbe i will give him onie when he is 7mths..
 
sam.. thats why we all envision to have husbands like yours that can provide!! haha.. u got car.. got 4 kids.. and kids get to go for ballet and enrichment classes.. u can go shopping. you got helper.. sigh.. envy envy... even if the designation is dead cockroach.. i also want!! hahahahahahahaa... oh..i forgot your dogs!!

dee
You've got mail

rachel
sure, you can PM me. but you must take note that this drug does not replace good pumping habits such as pumping regularly, drinking lots of water, etc.
 
hi gals
me super busy today. no time to read the above.
sorry

Fabbie,
My SS also drop especially even more after the antibiodics. Now 8 hrs interval also dun feel my breast full n no more pain.

bur,
I dun think Ashlynne is hungry cos i just fed her at 11pm lor. I thought maybe is the teething problem more.

Me now is 90% express, seldom latch her on already.. somemore now she got a tooth, i scare she bite me n breast become infection.
sad.gif
Expressing is really tough than latching lor.. need to wash pump, wake up to pump n sit straight... tiring... zombie walking around daily..I just try to feed her until the ss dry up.. Max to 1 yr.

Yes, like wat winnie said, stretch the hours?
I am pumping 3 times now.. 6am ( before going work) then 2pm ( after lunch at least i can go lunch with my colleagues) & 10pm ( before zzzz)

Hi Kath
Zach fever?? take care wor..U must massage diligently and also get Zach to latch u on..

Seriously, BF is very tough n NO shortcuts.. My SIL told me " Aiya, the shop assistant says buy the funnel tat have massage function & no need to massage, the duct will clear by its own".... HAHA.. i told her, there are no such things..Wait till she BF then she will know.
 
jowin
don't worry about biting. babies will figure it out on their own. cos when they bite, milk won't come out (like when you bite a straw). they just have to figure out how to change their latch to take into account the new tooth.

I use the soft funnel from Medela, supposed to help massage. I don't know if it prevents lumps, but it definitely helps me in my letdown, and I get better output with it.

zachmommy
maybe you are getting lumps because of your infrequent pumping? should try to pump every 3 hours, to mimic the number of times that zach will latch.
 
haha echo, how to pump 3hrs at work?? I dun hv flexi hour like ur job leh.. i can go off for 30minutes - 1hr is consider lucky alr.. i got lumps because 2 days ago, i onie manage to pump 8minutes instead of the usual 15minutes and i din clear my breast
 
echt, Tampines Ikea customer svc manager called me to inform that they have stock for the Antilop high chair. Will be going down this sat to get mine
happy.gif


Jo & Kath, at least u pump 3times per day is sufficient for yr bb's one day feed. Very not bad liao! I need 2 or more pumps to make 1feed.
 
ooo.. haha.. did it go in 1 piece n good condition? i so scared later kena squeeze thn burst out wor.. haha.. thanks thanks for the singulair in advance!!
 
dee,
thanks... probably will try to bring my boy to both places & see how... my elder one has been coughing on & off since the day he entered nursery, and it's been 6 mths le... sianz! he's been taking A LOT OF western medicine & the inhaler also dunno used up how many liao but still not much improvement... now got phlegm even worse coz sometimes he will cough until vommit one ler... think it's time for me to bring him to see TCM liao... hope can see improvement...

btw, can i call & make appt or i must walk in?
 
phyl,
still in good condition.. well wrapped up.. hee.. i'm sending u the same 'plastic' that keeps the 7 packets.. just ignore the instruction provided, ok?

jess,

sad.gif

dee,

btw, i noticed that Daniell very weird, i open playhouse disney channel for him he dun wan to watch, but when i watch my program he will watch...
 
jess,
before you go, give them a call and ask if Dr. Ang Liang's around.. coz when he's out, his daughter will be the one seeing patient.. at the same time can check if there's many ppl waiting else when u reach, you mite have to wait even longer..
 
jess
lol mine even best.. love to watch advertisement when she heard about some advert her head will turn to look at the TV. when we were feeding or patting her to sleep. -___- my mum say she loves to watch HAIR, TOOTHPATSE, BABY Advert. Why she love hair and toothpastse advert cus she dun have any! haha Oh ya. her favourite is the ribena advertisment haha

Jowin
now im trying to pull 12hrs. damn sianz to pump sia!! super lazy sia. lol
 
fabbie, zayden's fav advertisement is also ribena! when he is drinking milk, he will faster turn his head and watch! nowadays, my mum will off the tv when he wants to sleep and when she is feeding him.
 
phyl,

you're too funny. hahahah
happy.gif


eh, for all you who think SAHM is boring .. no la, it's not. Since you gals only have this first child, then still can go out for lunch/tea/shopping. Can either drag your baby along or leave with your parents ...

We're not like the housewives of long ago .. stay at home all the time. Bored, go out la .. even take train can still make it to town ... walk around with baby, window shop ... have lunch somewhere .. alone with baby also feel shiok rather than cooped up at home.
 
mimi
Hahahhaa so funny hor.. when i block her face she will shift another side to see. arghz.. my mum dun leh. still let her see. -____- haha
 


winnie/jowin
i am pumpin 8hrly liao...3 times a day...1am, 9am & 5pm...

christine, my supply not enough oso...but nini takes twice FM per day, one time in IFC & one time in the middle of the nite... so still enough... my one pump now is about 190-220ml, once per day, i'll let her drink one pak of frozen EBM so that i can have supply to freeze some new ones...
