(2009/03) March 2009 MTBs

sung, I usually use the gerber breast therapy pack to encourage let-down first. Only when I see droplets then I start to slowly squeeze my breast. I'll squeeze for about 35-40 mins for both breasts before using my freestyle for about 10 mins more. Will usually obtain 100+ml via manual expression, and aft pumping, will obtain around 200ml in total. For me, when I first hand-express, I can only squeeze 50ml in total. Then I realise that let-down is impt, if not, when you squeeze when you're not ready, it'll get quite painful. Also, when you press on lumps (if you have), also painful, but this helps to clear any blocked ducts. Have to push right from the breast (next to the armpit) towards your nipple. Only when you feel your breasts are soft, means you have quite emptied it and can use your pump to get more milk. In fact, aft pumping, I can usually squeeze some more milk as pump cannot clear breasts thoroughly.

wow.. long time din log in already..

alfafa, your description super hilarious, but when is the last time you latch your bb before mdm rokiah massaged you? heard from so many mummies that they can see the milk squirting ard, made me wonder if i should call mdm rokiah to try try?? i also realised my right breast can generate more milk than left side, funny thing is my left breast is bigger than right, how come the milk is lesser instead? my saviour is Kayla when i feel lumps on my breast, she is my BREAST FRIEND, hot compress and massages do not help, only her suckling helps, so you better nurse as frequent as possible...

missycandy, 1 day needs 2litres??? oh dear, i tink i drink less than that.. got to increase my water intake.. but does that help in MS?

my ML is ending soon too, next monday starting work, guess i will miss my princess Kayla vvvvvv much.. sighs, the tot of it makes me sad now, hope i wont cry during the 1st day upon returning to office..
 
<font color="ff0000">sun</font> - me also same. my boy born on 29 march so this week will be 2 mths lor

<font color="ff0000">kome</font> - ya i am waiting lor..too bad she don't have any cartoon designs.
 
Hi mummies! I'm back from Bali, had a wonderful trip w hubby (and yes Teddybaby, baby didn't go but the breast pump sure did kekee)

It's a fab fab trip
happy.gif
We just lazed on the beaches and on our last night, we enjoyed a romantic candlelight dinner with private beach bed overlooking the sea...over a 5 course dinner w huge seafood platter (yumz to the lobster :p)...after the dinner, we just climbed on the beach bed to watch shooting stars and chatted till late...

[*zip zap* the trip of course meant every 3-4 hour of swimming or sun tanning, we had to go back to the room to visit the "Pump Auntie"- gesh,and yes, that was quite a bummer and i threw 1litre+ BM per day *gesh*]

So, coming back..a few things to say...

ALFAFA!!!! *BUG BEAR HUGS* So sorry to hear about your mastitis episode, my goodness, why why why, hope it will never happen to anyone of us, thank goodness u're ok now. Relief its over...

Missycandy, thanks for the tip on the softshield, i'll save my money and just buy the 30mm breastshield...gosh, 1 side $31, 1 pair $62..ouch...

Pumpkinseed,
may i have a copy of the LG playmat price list too? Will definintely pop down to purchase on 29th

missycandy, just wanna say thanks to you for letting me to tag on to your order of "tell me why" DVDs. Sigh...so bz at home that I dun have time to log on at all. elder one is giving me hell at home, maid also another one, and then little one is having more wakey hrs now and got to also spend time with him. When hb comes home from work also want my attention, how to split myself between so many of them?!!!!! Mummies who have 1 child, got to cherish the time u got with your bb, cuz when you have 2 or more, things would be so different liao. gtg, time to moo moo again.

Kome - registered mail add $2.24 only leh. hmmm. no matter what i buy, i will opt for reg mail. jus to be safe. heh.

missycandy

the cost price is actually q high even though its from china =p will try give something special for mummies here but prob not a direct discount.

Maybe can combine 3 items to get 5% off or consider the bundle deal cos the discount there is more than 5%.
 
Hi Mummies

This is for those into astrology

Aries BB ( Mar 21 to Apr 19)

Likes attracting ur attention, quick nappy changes, being the centre of the universe, doing things that are forbidden (hee)

Dislikes being told what to do, playpens and prams, going to sleep.

What BB Aries wants from you
Make everyday excitibg for her by introducing something new into her world. THis little hothead needs noise, fun and excitment to keep her busy mind occupied.

BB Aries wants more than anything to be Boss so you mut take care not to become a slave! Gently control her assertiveness with humour and loving discipline.

Above taken from "Baby Signs" by Sarah Bartlett.

Will share on Pisces BB later

Oh yeah, somebody was saying its 3 months already and time to change our Avent bottles? Where to change? at Robinsons for a discount? Will it really leak?
 
starflower,
Lovely trip you have there
happy.gif
I had wanted to plan a weekend getaway with the hubs too but then, realised that we can leave the baby behind but not the older one! He is at the stage where he is quite clingy to us and is terribly homesick if we leave him with my parents. Tried and tested during my delivery of #2. So, weekend getaway, if any is for a crowd of 3. No longer romantic escapade. ha. So, decided to pack everyone, inclusive of my parents and the baby, for a trip to Hong Kong instead. We are departing next week ;)
 
pinkdemoness, of course can bring baby. If turns cranky, just hand over to one of the mummies lol
Not sure about your last comment... if you want to come do PM me soon as I have 2 slots left.

Baby Signs - not the one bluebel is talking about... has anyone read anything on baby sign language? I borrowed a book on it recently and it seems interesting. One of the forum mummies who lives in UK taught her baby a few signs by the time her was 5 or 6 months. I
I wish Baby A could sign POO, MILK and MORE to me
 
starflower,

*ENVY ENVY* Sounds relaxing and fun! I miss the beach a lot.. Cant leave bb with my PIL or parents too.. SIGH..

Pumpkinseed,
Can bb at 6 mths hand sign at us? Wow.. if can, Ill love to teach mine too.. Can share the book title?
 
Jo, the book is not with me now, I'll post it later. There are quite a few out there though. The author of the book I am reading said her 2nd baby signed back at 5.5 months. It takes weeks and weeks of signing to the baby before they sign back though. I decided to try because otherwise, I run out of things to entertain her with he he
