Baby Weight: 2.92kg

Have more time to surf the forum now that I need to sit myself down for a full 30-40min to pump.

Am in my day 5 now, pumping only 40ml every 3hrs. Hope supply will continue to increase cos my baby girl is already demanding 60ml every 2.5 to 3 hrs!

Will probably "see" some of you here at 3am later, when I wake up to pump again.
 
mercs: haa think im not v hardworking! i need my zz.. my mum all kept naggin me to zz and rest cos i c sec.. duh..

twws
do you pump every 3 hours even in the middle of night? can we pump jus once in the mid of night and still maintain milk supply?
 
kamy > hw's ur checkup with doc woo?after e VE check?
when's ur nxt checkup?

mercs >nwadays me at night always gt discharge leh,but is colourless,normal?

ni > u remove ur bag liao? hw issit?
 
hello all. bb is latched on the mummy now so got time to come in.

mercsboy: your hubby is good sia. can tahan. i first night abit see god liao. could be because of late nights during wife's stay at hosp after delivery. My mum is doing confinement for us in the day and will go back in the evenings but today, she'd decided to stay overnight to help us. hehe, hope things would be better.


Im not sure why but bb tends to sleep more in the day. Once evening comes, he cries quite frequently. Once my mum carries him, he keeps quiet and starts looking ard. Put him down and he'll start again 1o minutes later. Initially wanted to let him cry till he tired but isn't very nice because it'll cause disturbances to neighbours. U know bb cries can be very sharp..

anyone experiencing the same? got any remedies?

then now having some problem with expressing. Wife is experiencing engorgement and we're trying to express milk so at night can use but to no success. we're using the avent isis uno but we'll later gota try the medela which I borrowed from my bro.

anyway, bb just finished milk. after i put him down to bed, he opened his eyes and started his crying again. but wife managed to pacify him. haiz!

aiya, gota go. see ya pple
 
ex-dtb: thats super normal ah! at least for my case.. most babies tend to mix up. cannot differentiate btw day and nite. daytime likean angel slp n slp, nite falls, eyes open big big!!! my PD suggestion is to feed them slightly (10-20ml)more milk inrake to last them longer nite. and they should slp better...

mine is in my arms now too, after a feed, hope can last him 3-4 hrs of slp.... =)
 
babystarlet: yes the pee bag is removed,feeling slightly better, now on medicATion loh... hows things for u? did ur gynae say when is ur turn???

piyo: all the best! update us!
 
Hi ladies! I am going to hospital tonight =) Tomorrow morning is my turn to go under e knife =p

Wont be able to log in for about a week though as it a 6 day stay in hospital here.....and worse no internet =( Will use the time to bond with bb though =)
 
ex-dtb: I experienced engorgement on the 4th night as well... i used warm towel to put on the breast, massage then pump out the milk...you need to keep repeating the steps and I did it for several hours and now milk supply started to come in...
 
Cjteng, how much are you giving him now? I know 60ml of water 1 scoop of milk powder but how about 80ml of water? how many scoop of milk powder should i put? any idea?
 
mercsboy, yes my hubby is teochew and malaysian. myself is singaporean. is your hubby's family roots in malaysia too?

valc, i empty my breasts before i sleep, and get up once to pump in the wee hrs of the morning. usually the interval from the last pump at night till the early morning is abt 4hrs. i think shd be fine. but definitely have to wake up at least once, if not breast will be very engorged in the morning and not good for the supply also. while i establish my milk supply, i'm getting my CL to supplment with formula at night so that i dun have to wake up every 2-3hrs.
 
ANGE,
If you really want to bf, then just bf him at night lah. Don't bother about the formula. Especially NOT formula FIRST then bf, cos then the bf becomes just a snack. Won't help your supply. With full latching on, you of course can't measure the amt, but bb will stop when he's full. With bottle, the milk comes out very easily, so it's easy to overfeed.

Here's a milk calculator for all the mummies out here who have been asking....
tp://www.kellymom.com/bf/pumping/milkcalc.html
But this is for exclusively breastfed babies.

For formula feeding you could try this one...

ni,
Glad your pee bag has been removed. Must have been really uncomfy. Did the gynae says whether there might be permanent damage?

piyo,
Probably your turn soon. All the best!

Hi hitachi,

My baby also tends to sleep more in the day. After we brought her back home, on the 2nd night onwards, she stays awake for 2-3 hours in the middle of the night. This makes me very tired because as I carried her, I can feel that she is sleepy so I tried to rock her to sleep but once I put her down, she will be awake &amp; start crying again. And the whole cycle continues again for almost 2-3 hours until her next feed. I became very stress and tired.

So recently, my hubby suggested waking her up in the late evening when all the family members came back home so they can carry and play with her till 10pm plus. So after that she will sleep easier throughout the night even after night feeds. I've tried for 2 days and it seemed to work so far.



Hi xpink &amp; daymoon,

Don't stress yourself over the breastmilk. Me too, for the first 4 days after I gave birth, I totally no milk to give my baby. I felt bad as a mother. My gynae said the milk usually will kick in after 1 week. Only on day 5 onwards, I start having milk. But everytime I pumped, I got only 20ml after 45mins (moreover from both breasts). So little... I didn't pump in the middle of the night cos very tired.

Nowsadays (now is my 9th day after giving birth), in 1st pump in the morning, there is more supply - about 50ml to 60ml. But after the 1st morning pump, each pump only yield 30ml. I tried not to stress myself cos stress will affect milk supply. If really low milk supply, there is still alternative which is FM.

So don't stress yourself ya, just keep trying lor no matter what is the quantity like.
 
twws: my hubby roots are from thai...they are teochew also...

babystarlet: its normal to have more discharge during the last trimester ya
 


hey mummies, if my pump is ard 90-100ml, but bb only drinks 70-80ml, can i keep the balancE in the freezer?? den accumulate 80ml for another feed??? can anot ah???
