[mercsboy]

suika: u want the raw fenugreek ah? then how u going to take from me??
have u tried drinking lotsa fluids or not? and drink some warm drink before u pump...i realize that does help u know...
that day i got help piyo buy the raw fenugreek, its quite big packet (separate into 2 packets one), maybe u can ask piyo see she can spare u some?? if u really need me to buy then let me know again ya...

 

[mercsboy]

bbstarlet: u better check with the infantcare their style to serve milk for yr baby ok...coz my side, they prefer me to direct store into bottles instead of pass them milk bags to pour into the bottles, coz risk of contamination is there...so every morning i will prepare 3-4 bottles of milk and just bring to them to warm up.
me going back to work on 14 apr lor, but i will send kyler there one week in advance, 1st 2 days half day then following 3 days full day...haiz...sure she bu de one...yr infant care near yr home ah??

 

[mercsboy]

fluffy: yes please...can i have 3 boxes...i will collect from you okie...

ashley: thanks babe for the notes...i also dunno why i store the milk....anyway frozen BM is still better than FM rite..then me usually one day will give 1-2 feeds from the freezer one, then the rest fresh BM...guess that will balance up ba...

[jadeq1]

Ni: since you not using the pumping pal handsfree because leh chey, then your Ameda dual pump, you will have to use both hands to hold right, or is there some other way? For your Ameda, each pump session you do how many minutes?

 

[samval]

mint: ya it was me. first, feed bb before u go out. then sling him in the sling tightly. when u go salon, u sit down and let them do your hair. if bb struggle, just rock or bounce bb a bit till bb is calm. then when going to wash hair, while u are lying down, put bb face down, means she faces u...this is the most comfortable way for them. then check the time if its ready for next feed or not. if giving fm, start to prepare 20 mins ealier, cos they may wanna drink earlier. if bf, just latch on demand. if in between bb fuses too much, just get up walk walk about or stand in one position and bounce/rock her. actually that time i bring rebonding, i also just test test water lor.

where u staying? if realy not comfortable on the above, i can help u jaga.

For mummies whose babies reject bottlefeeding: i read in the thread before that some of you are returning to work and needs to train babies to bottlefeed. You may like to try Nuby teats. I bought it from Mothercare last weekend and I think it is the closest model of the real thing. it is recommended by my friend's PD. http://www.mothercare.com.sg/productdetail.asp?pid=341

 

[ninilicious]

Jade: i just use one hand to support 2 bottles loh.. each pump session abt 15-20mins loh..

[jallo]

Hi all mummies! I am a Jan 09 mummy too and hope i can join in this thread!

My baby gal is now 10 weeks old and recently i noticed she does not seem very interested in her milk, unlike before when she will drink very fast.. Now she seems to want to play more and will start smiling when i try to feed her and needs some coaxing before she will finally drink.. any mummies have similar experiences i.e. baby wanting to play and not drink? Of course seeing her smile does make me very happy!

 

[ninilicious]

welcome jallo!

my baby is also 10weeks+... and i am experiencing the same situation as u! my boy is totally uninterested in his milk! needs lotsa coaxing den he drinks. used to drink his 120ml happily, now only drinks 100ml, needs alot of walking ard the house.... i guess shld be the norm, maybe they have passed their growth spurt???

 

[m_int]

samval: thanks for ya help..think mi now quite confident & more comfortable taking bb out now..i latch..so hopefully she wouldn't fuss..heehee..i will try that then..

 

[jallo]

thanks ni!

Glad to hear that i'm not the only one in this situation! i am also feeding my gal 120ml now. My mil suggested that her 'disinterest' in milk may be due to the 6-in-1 jab which she took a wk ago but i don't really think so cos this pattern started before her jab.. well prob the jab made it worse? haha.. Anyway, i read somewhere that babies experience several growth spurts, one of them is during 3 - 4 mths.. not sure how true... if so, then it's not very far off..

 

[cherryale]

ni, jallo, my girl has joined the 'not interested in milk' gang. eversince she vomited 3times in 2 days after milk feed and PD told me to reduce the amt, she has been drinking v little.

Eg. today feeding pattern
6am - latched on
9am - 100ml
12pm - 90ml
2.30pm- 90ml plus latched on
5pm - 100ml
7.30pm - latched on

Until now, she has not woke up for feed. I have asked maid to wake her up to change diaper and to feed her 90ml. She is on bm somemore, how come can last so many hours?? I think she is prob taking at most 600ml cos after I latched on, I could still pump about 60 to 70ml which is not likely cos i have low ss, which time i only pumped at most 110 to 120ml except for the morning session where I pumped more.

really quite worried as I dun want her to lose any more weight. How? any suggestion?

 

[jallo]

cherryale: i will let her rest/play a while on her bounce-net for abt 15 mins before trying to feed her the balance of her milk. Most of the time it works and she will drink somemore, although she may not finish all 120ml.

[cjteng]

[cjteng]

I been telling my mum not to use the coffee maker to refill the plain water as we use that to make milk to bb...sometime i still saw she do that..so i just let her be..just now something not gd came to my mind...so i decided to look into the bottle..and end up..OH MY GOD!!!! i saw someting dun what was inside leh..even I saw it I also dun dare to drink the plain water...(Wonder this been when until now cum bb have drink so much milk that make from there leh..aaarrgggg.......)that is not the worst part..worst part is the coffee maker inside is full of dirt and v oily..cos this coffee maker was place next to the cooking area and she dun cover the coffee maker...that's y those dirty thing fly inside....haiz!!! .I cant blame my mum as she also dun know that it was so dirty..what I can say is I REALLY FEEL V VERY SORRY TO MY BABY!Pray hard that he is okie!!

 

[suika]

cjteng: dun blame urself....ur boy big liao....immune system already building up....i've always believed in 'dirty eat dirty grow' if everything too clean oso not good.......actually recently i oso found my water bottle not very clean...the bottom got some stains den i quickly wash it n change the water.....if u find her doing that, then u make it a point to clean it every 2-3days lor.....that can make sure it's clean

 

[sclaujas]

cjteng,

we all learn lah.. who says mummies are perfect?? our kids are growing up also! since he still drink/ eat sleep well.. no issue.. juz note from now onwards lor!!

 

[earlness]

wow.. raining heavily. finally after days of super hot weather. even my bb can't tolerate the heat. nobody's online?

 

[sclaujas]

<font color="ff0000">fluffy</font>,

nice to go hi-tea! u bring bb along? where iz good huh? maybe we should go for hitea before go back work??

i love goodwood park's hi-tea! but iz the only one i know..

 

[earlness]

cjteng: at least you found out about it yah.. it's better then not knowing at all? i heard some people saying not to be too conscious of cleanliness (e.g: wash hands with dettol everytime before you carry baby) else next time baby's immune system not strong. see from the bright side =)

 

[meecat]

ashley: the notes r super useful. din realise that there's so much things to note for storing bm. THANKS A LOT!

cj: dun worry, agree wif suika, dirty eat dirty big, bb will b very healthy since he is still ok till now. u might need to thank ur mum for the improved immune system.

 

[meecat]

going out soon, long time never do facial. sigh... big rain leh, also thinking of not going out.

 

[daymoon]

jallo:my bb has the same behaviour as ur bb.now dun want to drink milk,esp from bottle,and will keep smiling.dun know whether to scold or smile back at him.

[mercsboy]

fluffy: thanks for ordering...just let me know when arrive, i pick up from you okie...

cjteng: never mind la...at least u know it rite...so far bb ok rite? sometimes i also will careless one, dont blame yr mum ok...

jallo: welcome to this thread ya...my bb also like tat at times....like to play with his milk...use his tongue to push out..or else is drink super slow..he takes half an hr to finish 130ml lor...i guess its normal ba
