A happy new year to all mummies!
Kome/Queenie, you are very brave to be doing confinement yourself. I don't think I can manage cuz very likely C-section and I wonder if I can even get up of bed to bf bb or not, let alone bathe bb.
Re: stretch marks
I don't have that and didn't apply any stretch mark cream cuz was allergic to it last pregnancy. Was told it's hereditary, so if kena also bobian. Only applied lightly some moisturizer (meant for face) on my tummy when it's itchy. It helped last time, so this time I'm using my facial hydrating cream on tummy again before I sleep.
Re: bottles
I'm using mixture of Medela and NUK. Medela convenient cuz from pump, storage in fridge, warmer and then straight to bb without transferring into other vessels to minimize contamination. I used the bigger NUK when bb drinks more than 150ml which Medela can't contain. what I did is that I pump into 150ml Medela, then top up to bigger vol in NUK bottle and store in fridge. warm up the NUK bottle to feed when necessary. Easier to pour and mix the BM well when it's not chilled yet. For storage bags, I use Gerber ziplock type but don't like storage bags cuz got to transfer here and there but is a cheaper option else got to buy many Medela bottles to freeze.
