pat, if she had not breastfed her kids before she might be making the statements out of jealousy.. even my grandmother knows that breastmilk is best for bb woh.. i also hate it when pple interrupt the bfg sessions uninvited.. thank God it only happened once or twice.. next time can lock the door.
Dun be envious la. Maybe cos my boobs r quite big. But expectations higher ok. Ppl will say "ur boobs so big sure must hv alot of milk". Slowly la...supplement first lor...i also supplement initially. Yes i did but it was tough. I always felt like crying in hospital cos bb dun get milk then will cry. Hb says just give FM cos i think he cannot stand to see her crying n hungry n me being so upset. I told him he was supposed to encourage me but he said he was just being practical. true also la. oh well.
Wah ur MIL really damn too much!!! i mean, my MIL oso came in w/o my consent but she was encouraging. said dun worry, 1st day sure like tt, slowly SS will build up n slowly will learn how to BF bb properly (cos i cldnt hold her properly...v scared my breasts will suffocate her). my MIL is opposite frm urs...said BM is the best...must try my best to give BM. but cos bb demanding n i really din hv enuf, she also sad buy to standby. It gets stressful when bb cries...mine esp so cos its like early morning 3am then scared disturb other ppl in the house. I think i immune already...cos we dun lock the door so MIL can come in to assist anytime, almost everyone has walked in when i BF, except for BIL..even my FIL has walked in b4 haha. good to hear LC said ur nipples r gd for BF-ing. Mine said mine r a bit flat...but shd still keep trying. pumping will help to make it "longer" n "better" for Bf-ing.
okies im logging off now. need to nap. cya all!!

Eunice,
Already accepted that he's the "practical" type of man lor. Well at least, I get to domineer over him at times. He knows me well, and as long I dont go overboard, he'd usually let me get my way with things. But, we still respect each other with it comes to decision making.
I'm not planning to feed baby using milk bottle. Cos milk bottle's flow is fast, then, direct latching takes a while for milk to let down, if baby gets used to the fast flow, I'm worried that she may be reluctant to feed from breast. I've already anticipated that will need to supplement with FM so I'm probably gonna spoon feed or use a syringe.

Hehe, thot nobody liao so I went to play with my bubbles game just now.
<font color="ff6000">Kris,</font>
Envy u leh! How I wish I can have a surplus milk suppply. Mine is just enuf only, always try to pump then get miserable amt.
Correct, size of boobs not in concern with milk supply. My boobs r small leh, but still can bf #1 for quite long. Luckily my MIL's nice, she has seen me bfdg cos she was doing confinement for me but she have never made any crude remarks when I was bfdg my #1. Otherwise I will go crazy also.

hi pat...your MIL really discouraging leh! hope you're able to mentally shut out her comments. Maybe should consider locking your room doors when you are breastfeeding.
think stress affects milk supply.. just my guess coz when i was on MC and resting at home, was leaking colostrum.. but once back to work, gana stressed and nothing anymore...
so mummies who are BF-ing... hope you'll be able to find a way to destress

Baked potato,
Yes, I do agree, stress does affect one's milk supply. During my #1's confinement, I was mostly taking care of her by myself, day and night, and I just couldnt achieve a good supply. Stressing myself to express milk only made things worse. But I preserved, grit my teeth and drag myself thru. After learning to take things in my stride, I managed to do TBF, and I took ard 3 mths to do that.

Previously, some of you were discussing about drinking Raspberry Tea to help induce birth? My hubby's colleague just passed me two boxes of Yogi Tea - Woman's Mother to Be. The tea includes Raspberry Leaf to strengthen and prepare the uterus during pregnancy.

cyan, how come so free today? hahah, any signs of labour yet? i'm going in tmr for 37wk+ checkup
pat, do we've the same MIL?!?!?! i was totally put off when she "sat in" my bfd-ing session initially, i told my hb to scoot her off, but she says she's tired and needs to sit somewhere, duh! and went on commenting her poor grandson is crying so badly blah blah. And when I decide to express to feed, she was like yah lah better, nipple too big, OMG!!! I told my hb, this time i dun care ur mom comes from mercury or jupiter, she'll stay OUTSIDE when i'm trying to bf ok, she can sit at the guest lounge or living room if we're home! oh i also made a "do not disturb" sign to hang on my door.
is really very insensitive of them to do that, as if we're not stressed enough when bb doesnt latch properly. Then she said why dun we just give him FM, all her kids grew up on FM blah blah. But when she told her kampong I Bf-ing my boy and they comment that BF is very good, she came back and sang a different tune, say MUST bf cos some aunty say is good, so so duh!

Went for my 37w checkup today. During my 36w checkup, bb was 2.3kg but gynae estimated 2.5kg based on my tummy size. During my 37w checkup just now, bb was 2.7kg already. I gained 400g over the past week and bb gained the same weight too, hehehe so happy, at least not piling on me anymore. By the way, I am eating 1 Magnum and 1 serving of other ice cream everyday, real shiok! I think I will die during confinement without ice cream!!!
Anyway bb not engaged yet though she is head down, so don't think I will pop too early before my 25 Apr EDD. Think I must be one of the slowest April mummies here hee... I asked my gynae about the Strep B test and he was actually surprised I asked as he doesn't voluntarily conduct the test on every mummy as the chances of passing to the baby are quite low actually. But since I mentioned it, he must do it for me cos in case anything happens I may blame him! Hehe... but quite true also, anyway it was quite uncomfy during the test, not painful but I think I was a bit nervous so made it very uncomfortable! Regretted asking about the test man...

Wow, u sure are feasting on ice cream! Guess the weather's too unbearable for us preggies. Good for u, weight gain is totally on baby. At my last check-up (37wks+) I gained 1kg, only 263g went to baby and I gained the rest, in just a week! But, I'm still happy lah, cos at least baby is bigger now.
