yaer: let's see how things go after bb has settled down without the CL.
my bb nose also keep stuck with "gold" and mucus. and also having a lot of phelgm keep "choking" himself.
then the CL ask if I took a lot of oranges during pregnancy. then i recalled, i was eating the mandrain oranges during the CNY period, like noboby's business...
then kana blamed by MIL for causing the phelgm.
sad.

thank you mommies for booger advise 
olively,
agree with you too on the correlation between sleep and milk production..my boobs get so full whenever i nap..regardless day or night but on days when im busy and go without a nap, no full boobs.
Re: training to sleep w/o night feeds
im doing total latch on so my baby wakes up twice a night; and i feed by demand only. actually i have no plans to train her to sleep through but let her do it at her own time. once she gets older and ready in next few weeks or mths, she will adjust to her own appetite. cos shes growing now, i feel that we shld let them have whatever amount of feeds they need ..
Re: Should baby be waking up more now?
yes, as our babies grow older, they stay awake more. in fact my baby is only 5 weeks plus and she can be awake the whole morning and KO in the afternoon...shes also fully awake when me and hubby are having our dinner so we place her on the dining table with us (lying on a carrier). she looks at us and i realise she imitates our mouth cos she will open and close her mouth at the same time. i started playing with her since week 2 till now. i do tummy time with her, sing to her, talk to her, imitate her coos, hums and ahs (started week4)...when shes lying on the sofa awake, i will sit beside her instead of carrying her and i will stroke her chest, arms and head and she'll look at me...its never too early to start playing hee hee
lemonT,
agree with you that can lose weight through BM..and like you, i still eat alot...i need to snack..and i feel hungry easily but i did not put on weight despite eating alot..mommies on BF shld not try to lose weight excessively cos there will be toxins excreted when there is rapid weight lost..just let the breastfeeding do the job
lemonT,
my baby also sleeps in A/C rm since day 1.. she also sweats and perspire in A/C rm keke..the back of her neck and hair feels wet when i lift her up for feed; even in the night..

mrslim,
I doubt it's due to overcleaning lah. I mostly clean around his mouth, but the rash is at his cheeks too. I don't use soap at all, just dab dab with cotton balls dipped in warm water. My #2 had worse rash, and I didn't have the habit of cleaning him after feeds. I thought this time I might do that to see if the rash occured, no diff
iceblue,
My hb doesn't like soups so we order 4 dishes.
Yaer,
I have heard pple say not to cut nails in the first month cos still very delicate. But I cut my bb's nails the day we came home from hospital cos he was scratching himself and me, Had no problems. Been cutting every week since.
olively,
Most bbs will 'sleep through' by 12-15 weeks. Defn of sleep through is a stretch of 5 hrs or more. Usually we don't have to do anything. Only if your bb has a habit of waking at the same time every night for a feed, then maybe you might like to 'train' him.

Like Privileged, I also cut my son's nails the next day after we got back from the hospital, when he was merely 24 hours old. Was ok. No problems. Some people believe the first haircut should either be when baby turns 1 month or 4 months but for me, I cut when I think the hair is too long. Anyway, by 4 months time, baby's newborn hair will be falling out by itself even if you don't cut and he'll get bald patches, very ugly. That was what happened to my #1. #2 i cut his hair when he was about 2 months.
iceblue
If you don't see anything boogers in the nose then no need to suck anything out. I've not used the nose suction thing on any of my boys and they just sneeze out whatever boogers they have or I just wipe off with tissue when it gets close to the outside.

mommies with CFL leaving:
dont worry that you cant handle your babies. have faith that your maternal instincts will guide you along the way. parenting is a learning process, lots of trials and errors. most importantly we have to stay calm and not frustrated when babies cry. before i gave birth, my gynae told me my baby will be discharged from the nursery roomed in with the mommy from day 1 for natural birth and day 2 for c section. once roomed in, i need to feed and change baby on our own. i was worried that i couldnt handle..who knows on day 2 (i had c section), when baby was roomed in, by hook or by crook, i had to do it...so i just wait for her to root to latch her, check her diapers as and then and i realise it wasnt that scary ..its only the c section wound thats giving me a hard time to move around...so mommies, dont be scared or worried...take it as it comes..gambette

anyone's baby can tahan being awake for 5 to 6 hours? my baby has been doing that for last few days.. cant get him to sleep! The moment i put him down, he cry.. and very loud too! End up i have to put him on my chest and i lie down (cos i am realli tired too).. and he sleep on my chest.. i tot baby can only tahan 2 to 3 hours awake! we fed him, use towel wipe his face, change diapers, carry and cuddle him, gave him my nipple to suckle.. jus cant do the job!
At my wits end..
At my wits end..
LeMonT (lemont): You are very brave leh.. I wish I can have 1/2 your courage.. my son is 4 weeks today, dun think i can manage him cos he still has no feeding routine and I duno why, he seem to be hungry almost every hour despite having increased his drinking amount to abt 110-120ml per feed. I very stress leh - duno why he is so hungry so soon.
Also, how do you manage pumping for 1 hour each time? You use electric dual pump or single? Think I am worse off than Yaer - cos my per pump yield is only abt between 80 - 110 ml at most for both breast =( the lactation consultant told me to rest between 12am - 4am and only pump after that time slot lei.. duno.
Any of you experience bb not wanting to sleep in the day?

Mommies:
Don't be in a hurry to lose your baby-weight. it took 9 months for us to put on the pounds, so it'll normally take more than merely 2 months for us to get back into our pre-preg jeans.
LemonT:
you're right - the more one pumps, the more one yields. i'm pumping more now and i'm getting slightly more...
C-Sect moms:
do you know when we can start post-natal massage?

qingsiew.. mine is 3 weeks and 3 days (born on feb 15th).. giving him 80ml FM per feed last ard 2 hours. Used to be hungry in 1.5hours.. now i try to make it last longer by playing with him or latch him on.. cos my BM supply is low.. he can latch half hour but prob drink 10 or 20 ml.. Pple tell me i am feeding too much, make me so stress!! but he is hungry and can tell cos his mouth keep moving and he will cry too.. how not to give him?
ramy,
i am doing so-so..hormones abit weird nowadays and bad mood..now enduring till confinement lady leaves..
baby 3 weeks old already, but milk supply still low..yield only abt 40-60ml each time I pump..think goat's rue is the last new thing i am going to try..if really doesnt help..then i am just going to accept the fact that my supply is just low..
did u try fenugreek?

ashleigh,
just now my baby cries too and mouth opening/closing..then my confinement lady assume she is still hungry cause i latch her on earlier (she always think veryyyy lowly of my breasts..)and went to make some milk for her..
turns out the baby fell asleep once i hold her in my arms and reject the milk she made!! (yay!! when holding the baby i was telling her 'see la, u cry, now auntie make milk for u already..but if you're full, dont drink later k..' haha)
did u hold him when he cries? maybe he just wanna be held..
think we are giving our babies agar agar the same amt..mine feed on 110ml average every 3 hours..but no one tell me i am feeding too much..in fact, everyone more than willing to feed her..dunno y..

aiyo .. mummies ... tell u all something ... last nite hor, I ganna scared by my CL for nothing. My girl hor, last nite after crying nonstop for minutes, broke up in cold sweat, then suddenly threw up all over the flr. And kept crying non stop until 3am plus. My CL told me something wrong with my girl and tat my girl has been processed by duno wat spirits and she has to burn duno wat incense and papers to bring her soul back but she cant do that becos bb hasnt got a name yet. What nonsense is this? My hse got Fengshui items one. All no good things already blocked out liao. And if there really is a spirit in the hse, I would have sensed it too just as per past isolated incidents. Nearly killed my CL. Scared me to death. End up is just colics that is making my girl unwell. Today she's ok liao.
