suika,
this is your first baby. when i had my first baby, my supply was also not good. everyday desperately pumping, and getting snide remarks from my then-CL. baby is still the best stimulator for the breasts. do latch as often as you can, rest and eat well (i know it's hard to rest well, but just try). becos i could not yield much from pumping, i resorted to latching my #1 full time and was able to BF till he was 15mths.
my breasts have been conditioned from my first child, hence i can have better yields for my #2.
mummies who want to boost supply can try this organic lactation tea: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=82661&catid=32592. apparently the reviews quite good.

suika: i also have the emotional problem! i thot i will be post-natal depression free... but yet i cant escaped this as well. broke down a few times alrdy. my hb even call me a emo monster when it comes to nite fall. first of all, broke down when i had the pee bag with me, cos felt very handicapped, cant carry and care for bb.. den after take out the pee bag, carry bb he cant stop crying. but once madi carry him, he stopped crying... den tears rolled loh.. cos i feel how come he more closer to the maid den his mommy?? so sad leh..
ni:i also face that too..i cry twics..once is that time i scold my mum..another time is see bb so pity that i dun pat dry his backside got rash until skin come out...until now still have not recover yet..when i carry bb..he keep on cry..then when i pass to my mum..he will stop crying liao..but slowly la..
since now u are recover..try to join in when bb is having bath or feeding time in the mornig..it work for me..slwoly he will like u want..okie..dun be sad la..talk to bb more..i guess your bb is hpy-active..until now still dun sleep ah..maybe bath make him awake ba..maybe later at night he will sleep longer hrs..

Samval! Me too having sore throat, flu and cough, even had slight fever yest. I can empathise with your situation... Sure a bit down... Yest dunnoe why felt a bit sad too prolly from tiredness, so i ask hubby to come into the room while baby was awake and together we stare at him and chit chat for a while. felt quit therapeutic. Try ways to keep urself happy. simply ignore what ur folks say as long as you know you are doin the right thing older ppl might be a bit more commentative! So one ear in and one ear out lor...
Suika i find my baby quite wierd leh, even though my dog barks he can still sleep thru it soundly! i wonder if its becoz he is used to hearing the dog while he was in the tummy haha...
Serene! Hehe, i have to stand beside him to guide him (used to be a nurse long long time ago so know better than him hehe) through the process de haha and made him watch video... no choice since i full BF he doesn't have much other ways to bond with baby so this is one way? hehe... yes must celebrate our babies' birthdays together!!!! I told my hubby when I found out Zethan was born on the same day as Caleb and he was so excited about it!!! Btw they prick baby heels to collect blood for checking the bilirubin levels
Sperzz very beautiful cupcakes!!!

twws, I'm in Arizona. Yup yup. Baby is a US citizen and when we are back he will be a SG citizen too. Yup unless you not BF then you can drink alcohol, my sis cook it for about 15 to 30mins to make the alcohol evaporate...
Thanks Willting!
Serene, Actually my hubby also dun dare to carry baby de, dunnoe why when he see our baby immediately he was able to lor, guess his own he not as scared haha...
xpink- I asked my mum she said boys can do earlier leh, its girls that cannot do earlier. Boys can do as early as 12 to 14 days apparently. Maybe you check around? Seems like everybody have different opionions. We are doing our boy's One mth earlier too about 5 days earlier...
Suika, my dog had diarrhea this morning! Dunnoe is it he is stressed out from the baby or not! Oops...

novakido: during my anenatal class, i was told that if latching on bb, need not burp them... but if bottle feeding them need to burp la... i m bottle feeding my boy, so i have to burp him... i burp him once, and let him sit upright for like 10 mins b4 he faLLS into slumberland... as for the vommitting wise, i faced that prob a few days back... so now i try to give him half (i.e 40ml) first, den sit up to burp, den continue with the balance milk...

novaiko: YES, my bb also vomit out after each feed even though i burped her and she is direct bf! My son also did last time too....not sure why though??
OIC Ni, over here when I went for the breastfeeding class they say must burp after BF... Coz I specifically ask the lactation nurse the question as I was puzzled, remembering my friends also saying that you don't need to burp if you direct direct BF... Hmmm But I'm going to try the burp while halfway thru and then feed again technique and sit him up for about 10mins after the entire feed! Thanks!!!
Autumn, Ya lor, I just read the book "what to expect during the child first years" And it says that the babies stomach or the reflux part(something like that) have not fully developed yet thus the spitting. Guess I shall just continue to feed whenever he wants and let him spit ba hmmm... Cause BF quite hard to gauge how much he drinks also hor...

my birth story:
0800 arrived SGH to admit, was told no rooms, have to wait.
0900 given a temporary upgrade from B1 to A1 room. went up, waited for nurses and drs. hb left for work
1030 house dr finally checked me, still 1 cm dilated. was told will put pill.
1130 finally inserted pill and also strapped to ctg machine for 1 hr, no contractions.
1500 dr checked still 1 cm, to put in 2nd pill at 6pm
1730 strapped to ctg for half hour, insert pill and ctg for another 1 hr. Dr says there is remenants of earlier pill.
2000 went downstairs with hb for his dinner as nurse asked to to walk around to help speed up dilation. started to feel tightening of tummy.
2100 felt regular pain
2150 pain at 4 mins apart. called for nurse but they were doing handover.
2210 show plus waterbag burst. nurse and dr rush in, 2 cm dilated oni... dr says big blood clot. transfered to labour ward. hb was asked to clear room as this was our temporary room, poor hb chop chop packed and lugged my bag, lappy bag and his bag down.
