Ohhh also, those with cradle cap prob...
Do go to guardian to buy this cradle cap treatment shampoo for infant.. it's very effective. my boy had terrible cradle cap and it's so ugly to see his scalp with those flaky cradle cap. I bought it last night, used it once, and his condition is much better.. it's only $8.35!

Hi winter, tks for the info, I will go and order as my bb too using mammy poko.
Irene,
hope you get the same doc too. Very fortunate indeed to have met a caring and experienced doc. See if you can get his office no? hehehe
Cindy,
oic. Aii I thought you meant unhook the bra at the back. Hehehe of course of course, need to unhook the cup. Never tried nursing clothes so I don't know. Very restrictive n expensive leh. Somemore I find most of them not nice. Nice ones lagi more exp.
So in the end I usually wear tube tops or spaghetti straps.
Ann,
wow so near. Sure sure. Can catch up? Are you still doing confinement? How about Tiong Bahru Plaza? I like Great World City or Tanglin Mall as well.
Pepper,
Pupsik rocks! In fact on sat I brought BB out on my pupsik on a 4hr long cafe + shopping trip on my own. Walked from tanglin mall all the way to tangs somemore. Needed to nurse her in the Tangs nursing cubicle, nice and clean. My bb is much more well behaved outside. Think she likes shopping. Hahhaa
Idaarshad,
the GP I found is within 15 min walking dist from my place. $300 is total amount for 6-in-1, no consultation applicable. Cannot use CDA. I think only polyclinic can use CDA. Try the one suggested by vernice? Can save, should save!
Prosper,
funny, yesterday my wt went up again. So instead of 2 more kilos it's 3. Then just now back to 2. Yo yo wt. Hahhaa I would never have guessed that the sound is from breast pump had it been in the past. Oh dear there is alot of milk to dump! OMG.
Eh ... why cannot just leave inside your pump? the breastshield part just cover with clean tissue first. SOmetimes when I am pumping halfway and bb cries, I will cover the breastshield with tissue and attend to her first.
Prosper, Moomooland, Irene,
I am also sick of pumping. So now I am slowly bringing my bb back to direct latch only. It has been great thus far. I need 50-60mins x 4 pumps a day previously, now I just latch her for 15-25 mins each time, no need to wash & sterilise. And she can clear blocked ducts much better than pumps somemore. NO need to massage.
Bluebell, Ann,
try the front hold, only thing is wth a newborn you need to support their necks. I find this position easiest to BF while bb is inside the sling/pouch.
Misscandy ...
but when the rings are at the front, BB's head is squashed against the rings leh. Looks v uncomfortable. So I wear it such that the rings are at the back, the way my mom does it. Actually even in te front the rings are uncomfortable for me. maybe I don't know how to use. hehehe
Sembawang? ahh headache, Maybe we should all meet in town? Keen?

grace, I'm sure you have enough. If in doubt, go for a one to two day exclusive pump and bottle feed just to see how much you have. I did exclusive latch for 1st month and then the subsequent 3 plus weeks was exclusive bottle feed. So I know how much milk I have and how much she consumes. Now I am trying to go back to latch on only. 3 days now and so far so good except for engorgement issues.
I cannot stand dryers. It always make my bb's bum red too. I suspect it's becos of its poor absorbency. Drypers is supposedly more of an economical brand.
Huggies comfort dry was selling at $30.90 for two packs, one pack $15.45. Think if I didn't rem wrongly usual price is $20+ per pack.
Just it yesterday also, but not sure if it is still running this week. Promos usually last for one week or while stocks last? can call first to check.
So far I've used pampers, huggies comfort dry and ultra, and drypers. Don't like dryers but I like pampers and huggies.

I've been exclusive pumping & bottle feeding him since his day 1 until last week (7weeks). It was oni the past few days tat I latch him more regularly. So far so good too but reduced no. of times of pooing but till wet his diapers...so shld be ok, rite?? Hmmm...as for pumping after latching..sometimes I do it oni if I feel that he din really empty both breasts...
Diapers
Yup economical but damaging to his bums. Think really need to change. Ok will check out the huggies dry promotions bcos $15.45 is their usually promotion price. Thanks =)

grace,
should be ok lah. I'm sure the no of poos will increase once your bb gets used to "working" for milk again. my bb always don;t empty my breasts ... I have more milk than she can consume. sian ... that means have to pump again. Oh is it? $15.45 is usual price? Thought that is special price, usual is $21+ r $22+
Winter,
my hubby worked with Giant, CS, NTUC and also ShengSiong etc etc before. He says knowing NTUC, they have to be the cheapest price one. So before long we should be able to see the same mamypoko promo at NTUC also. They will either match or beat Giant price. Don;t know lah that's what he says.
So maybe can just keep a lookout.

Finally log back in.
Like the sling your mum made for you
beautiful batik material.
Yup, I pump only once a day, some days I don't even pump. All usually done after midnight when breast feels the fullest. True, my bb doesn't always empty the breast. Don't worry about it though, unless it becomes really hard, then just pump out. Emptying the breast is more necessary if you want to increase the milk supply. Think you have good MS so just latch bb on. Yea, latching does require a lot of stamina and patience.

I using drypers for my #2 now also, but all the while i don't like drypers but as he is always poopoo alot so we just get the cheapest diapers. My mum will change his diaper every 3hrs to prevent rashes lor. Later will change to use mamypoko during night time and Fairprice diaper during daytime instead.
babe,
I like the material but wish it doesn't come with rings. Thinkin of asking her to re-do ala pupsik style. hahahah ungrateful daughter.
But I'm worried about future growth spurts. what if I don't have enough then? heeeeee kiasi
Am really tempted to do as you've said, unless really unbearable, if not then just skip it. True true, have enough BM for her now.
Grace,
last week she was taking 90 to 100ml 8 times a day. yesterday I pumped immediately after I latched her cos I had been feeling full the whole day. Managed to pump 130ml out. I know she had a full feed cos she slept for 3 hours after that.
Lazy to pump after latch. One thing good I like about latchig is ... omg, my diaper bag is so much lighter without the stupid cooler bag and stuff. Feels wonderful. Meanwhile I have another 5 days full of stored ebm for hubbies to use during times when I am not around.
Kome,
taht's true. Esp in the beginning. My bb changed about 12-15 diapers a day. Probably due to the photolight theraphy, she had to pass more motion to pass out the birulium (sp?)

moomooland,
I heard that some mommies use breastshield to collect some of the milk.
*hugs*
would it better to latch your bb for a bit before you pump? or simply latch all the way? I had to pump for 50-60min each time in the past because of blocked ducts too. First 15mins will be fast flow, followed by really bad flow for the rest of the time. Plus I had to squeeze and massage in order for the droplets to continue. Now that I go back to latching her, I noticed that she can clear my lumps much faster and I don't even need to massage. Only thing is she takes 2 to 3 feeds to empty my breast someimtes.

Ann,
I know what you mean! hahaha thank goodness I quitted to become a SAHM, if not everytime I meet my friends at vivo I wil want to go back to tower one to do work!
heheheh
Anytime is fine by me. Yah any mommies want to meet up around redhill/queenstown/town area? More than happy to show you how I use my sling/pouches. But I must confess I am not very good with it yet, still need to tug tug here and there to adjust.
In fact, Ann, where in redhill do you stay? I can come and visit you but you have to meet me at the train station.
Am slowly getting used to bringing her out on my own liao

formula milk
OMG I didn't know that milk powder can go up to 50+ dollars. My friend's bb is 3 months ahead of mine, and already on semi solids. The milk powder they buy is $44+ a tin. There are even more expensive ones at $58 a tin. This is ridiculous!
I think I might want to BF her all the way till 1 yrs old. At least then we don't need to buy as much milk powder.

Haven't had time to post, only read through some of the postings while baby is asleep.
Re: diapers
I'm using petpet in the day and mamypoko at night. Petpet is cheap & can last like 3-4hrs, so quite reasonable.
Re:colic
My boy has been suffering from colic on & off, give him ridwid, rub ru yi oil, place him over my shoulder, let him sleep on his tummy etc. Seems like not burping is really the silent killer. Whenever he does not burp after his feed, he will wake up from his sleep with colic.

these few days..i got really scared thinking if CL leaves..how am i going to handle bb alone at home..
how do u all manage to do that?
I'm really afraid if bb cries and I cant calm him down..
I cant wait for bb to grow up and when he wakes up he doesnt cry but can play play- easy to entertain..
how many months till that come huh?

Re" krisflyer miles
been going on for a few weeks but didn;t check my email.
Krisflyer miles at 50% discount for online redemptions, limited destinations by month. Normal promo is now 25% discount.
I will most likely use my miles to redeem tixs for a trip to LA in Sep, when bb is about 7 to 8 mths old. Damn good deal.
