Oxgal
My mum in the beginning when my son born a week, she already insist me to give FM every 4 hrs. She said that BM will end and than if baby don't want any FM than how.
 


Alfalfa, Idlecat and Starflower,

the wrist support that i get is from watsons.
Brand: Futuro Sport.

Alfalfa,
wrist support is to provide strength n support for stiff, weak or injured wrist. it protects from further injury.

Mummies..
I am pretty tied up with Brianne so i can't log in often. If there is anything you mummies need to contact me.. can MSN me.. my msn add is [email protected].

As my hubby is out of town till 20th May 2009, we communicate thru MSN so My MSN is left on 24hrs 7 days a week. I might not be always infornt of my PC but leave me a message n i will get back to u when i get the chance.

Once Brianne's neck is more stable, i can strap her on my babybjorn then i will be more mobile instead of pushing my big and clumsy Peg prerego stroller around. i still cant go out alone so far.

By then, i should be able to meet up with u mummies and ur babies. Ciao.. take care.

RE: FM
me so far tink fed him less than 6 feeds.. think my small tin similac have to be thrown away liao.. my sis say shd discard 1 mth after opening.. wasted sia..
 
mummy bean

look on e bright side...this is jus a temporary phase...u get back ur me/couple time; more energy n eagerness to spend time w bb...oso can concentrate on work...

minuses...not there all e time to witness his aha moments...1st turn/1st chuckle/1st drool etc...well, hopefully ur in-laws got e gadgets to capture them...

sung

tink u very fortunate to hav bb who can sleep straight 11 hrs...! Tink need patience to train or every bb is different...mayb he so tired out in e day tat to him...nite sleep is so precious...eh...any1 can share wat tires out an infant so tat he has a good nite's sleep? Esp when they grow, they wont like to sleep so much in e day...more n more like us...
happy.gif


1 frien of my mil came w her bb son...he going 3 mths but still on 90-100ml feed every 2 hrs...normal? She said he slow eater...

Mine so far in e day is 120-130ml feed every 2-3 hrs...nite probably 90ml a feed/ dd~ss bf...

dear mummies
HAPPY MUMMIES DAY!!!

regarding wrist pain
was reading some of your posts abt having wrist pain--i had it on both my wrists when i had #1.
it was v painful, esp when u clench yr fist and try to rotate it.

at first --went to polyclinic, the doc say it was a sprain,but not convincing, cos how can sprain both hands for no reason??

then i went to Eu Yang Sang, the doc said its cos didn do confinement properly, touched water, wind etc... gave me infrared treatment also no use. and damn ex.

then I went to see the GP. He diagnosed me with DeQuervain Syndrome--very common among Nursing mothers. its inflammation of some tendons near the thumb coz of awkward positions we use when carrying or nursing our infants.
I was so relieved tt FINALLY i found out whats wrong.

Went to specialist for injections and wore a splint for a bout 2 weeks. and it recovered after sufficient rest.

Mummies u might wannat check this website out and see if the symptoms match what u r having.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeQuervain's_syndrome
 
Seems like i am not e only 1 w wrist pain. I got it in my 3rd trimester cos use left hand the support body out of bed. Today my bb 2mths old n i hv only bath him once..afraid will drop him in e water.

idlecat, wat's EYS? Does it help?
 
Hi Agnes,
I started with left wrist pain during 3rd trimester and then both wrist pain during confinement till now.
EYS refer to Eu Yang Sang. So far slight improvement; maybe because I still take cold stuffs... Hee...

Hi Clio,
Which specialist you visit? injection<font color="ff0000"><u>s</u></font>? meaning more than 1 jab?
 
Idlecat,
I went to NUH Hand specialist--coz my cousin was a specialist there and he gave me the jabs. He didn't even look at my doc's referral letter--he straight away say "De Quervain's syndrome ah? Very common among new mothers!"

Yes its Injections for me coz both my hands were in pain. It was one jab per wrist.
But i tell you, the pain went away immediately!
When u had that kind of wrist pain for months, the only thing on my mind was--Just gve me the jaB! haha :p
 
Clio, do u have any contact for NUH hand specialist..eg name..Or do we just walk in?

After the jab, your pain went away. How abt now? Did it came back or recovered oredy?
 
pigpig
wow. on FM really cost alot hor? my mom said next few mths muz intro FM to him liao.. but i dont intend to. haha.
 
Idlecat &amp; agnes

My cousin is Dr. Tan Ter Chyan. I think can make an appt thro NUH Appt system. check the following link out:
http://www.nuhhrm.com/facilities/outpatientclinics/

http://www.nuhhrm.com/services/dequervainstenosynovitis/

Yes, after the jab, my pain went away. But i also had to make a splint at NUH--it immobilises the wrist so tt it doesn strain the tendon that is swollen. I asked if wrist guard is sufficient, the doc say no--coz the wrist guard doesn protect the wrist enough.

Now, no pain with #2. But after this experience, im very conscious of how i carry #2, make sure my wrist and thumb is not at an awkward position. But my cousin did say must take care not to strain the tendon again as it is considered weakened already.

Hope it helps...
 
Thanks Clio, i'll call up on monday to get that jab! Sure sounds like what i'm having. Wont need 2 jabs, just for my left wrist...yippee...so relieved to know exactly what this is....
 
clio,

me me me! my wrist, left side, has been hurting for months. T have this fear that it will degenerate into something much worse in my old age.

thanks for the info. i did the finkelstein test mentioned in the article you posted and almost yelped from the sharp pain. Really, all it took was a jab on the wrist? was the jab painful? any side effect? no down time i hope?

oh no just noticed you needed to wear a splint for 2 weeks ... how to take care of bb alone like this?

Missycandy
I have transferred the money to you for the sling. If not enough than i will top up the difference during gathering.

Thank You
 
kome babe,
pm me pls?

have bad news re the balboa sling. a thousand apologies. i texted a reminder to the seller yesterday asking when her hubby can come and do the exchange and she didn't reply until today. She claimed that her hubby accidentally gave it away to his colleague. I told her about you taking over and requested that she quickly takes it back from the colleague. afterall it should b easy w colleagues right? her next sms says she cant cos it's her hubby's superior.

wah lao

sounds damn fishy. Anyway i explained that you have missed out on other deals becos of this and she has put me in a spot. She replied in the end that she would like to send you a BN old navy romper which she was trying to sell on her blog.

so sorry to disappoint you, kome. Feel really bad to have you stranded without one. Can yo pm me so that i have your email addy? want to connect you two so that she could send the romper to you.

Sorry!
 
Ida

Thanks for confirming the availability. I actually would like the brown one as I've bought one black one before. It's ok. Will probably stop buying. Haha.. Already have 3 carriers! Greedy greedy..
 
As a 1st time mum, I actually got lots of queries. Need advice.

Re: BM supply
I read that some mommies are taking fenugreek as supplement for increasing supply. Is it ok to take the pills without gynae consultation?


Re: Pain in breasts
I am doing tbf. I have sharp pains in my breasts quite frequently. Do any mommies experience that? Is it normal?

Worried..
 
kat,
this thread is bad bad bad. =P

Lipgloss,
if you are reading this, enjoy the pupsik! It's lovely but it does require a bit of skill at first. Hope to see you at our gathering in the future. Plenty of moms to share their tips with you.

Agnes,
sure thing, when we meet next time I'll show you how to nurse with bb inside the pikkolo. Tried it outside at anchorpoint today. Very easy. Speaking of whgich think we need a sharing session on pikkolo usage. :p

Kome,
don't be shy. let her know whether your bb is girl or boy (sorry forgot liao) and give her your addy to send you the romper. I'm not entirely convinced by the story but that's not the point mah. I honoured the deal even when I regretted shortly after, yet she's the one to break it so suddenly after a week plus.

will post a pic of me in my pikkolo taken at anchorpoint earlier heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
so pretty. *Shameless shameless*
 
hmmm i received another pm for the balboa sling but the person selling $68. if anyone wans do let me knw, il forward u the pm. =) she has 3 designs avail. =)

fatfish - noted!!! i do believe i have ur contact. il drop u a pm nearer the date. =)

Missycandy

here it is

in mocca rouge print
I also tried nursing with her seated inside while I was at the anchorpoint foodcourt. Too many people around so used my nursing cover just in case, even though the straps are broad enough to conceal vital parts. Baby is sitting in the pouch rather than supported by the crotch as per BB bjorn
 
Alfafa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! very niceeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! but NOOOOOOO! i cnt buy it. too pricey le. =P hahahaha! wa. i mus train my bb to open legs.
 
putting her in was a breeze.

snap snap snap 3 times that's all. basically waist buckle first (natural waist not hips like other carriers), then hold bb against your upper torso, bring the cover up between bb's legs n over bb's body and at the same time toss one shoulder strap over. Snap that shoulder buckle (i like it crossed for even better ergonomics). do the same w the other shoulder buckle.

voila!

tighten straps if necessary - back straps to bring bb closer against your body. front straps to bring bb higher up.
 
note: can strap around hips too if preferred. simply attach the cushioned belt support to suit. this also lengthens the carrier body for taller babies. Adds a bit of bulk though n i heard cindy mention that such cushioned belts can get a bit warm n itchy. which is why i prefer the flexibiity to have it de-tached as n when i want it.
 
misscandy

heeeeeeeeee

told you this thread is baaaaaaaaaad
btw, i only need 1 pc of swim diaper. hopefully enough to go around then
