audrey: smsed!
hi audrey, wow.. how much was the cake can i ask? that's min 3 kg right? my boy's school said to provide only a 1kg cake...
wow, u gals' ms really good! till now even i tandem express only yield 80ml max at the un-nursed side. So even though i leak a lot, qty also not really great huh.. i suppose it's ok for now, since i don't intend to store yet, but will have to work harder at increasing supply closer to my returning to work.. foresee i wont be able to pump well at work again...

clarie: i also have to settle the 2 kids before i can pump. bb got to be sleeping then #1 can sit with me if i just let her watch her video. feeling a bit guilty letting her watch more tv than before but no choice got to pump.
duffy: unless you have super good ss, it's not surprising to pump out very little after latching.
pei: welcome.

Pei - haha so clever u!! innovative sia!! in hospital, they will ask u to feed every 3 hrs...if bb sleep, u r supposed to wake her. but at home, my mil says if bb sleeps then dun disturb. but i think the longest i let her sleep is 5 hrs, i will disturb her abit n see if she wakes for milk. ks mummy me.
Idaar, actually me n my hb now communicate via msn / sms while he's at work more than talk face to face.. bcos by the time he's back we're usually each busy with 1 kid, and we're crashed out by night... so daytime we can chit chat more leisurely when #1 is in school and #2 sleeping.. 
As for job.. take on this first and see if a better one comes by..
ciarie,
haha.. cool down.. i had 1 bout of it few nights back.. latch for less than 5 min then fall asleep, kept waking up every 1/2 hr.. i think it's more of a torture to keep being woken up just when i've fallen asleep! grrrhh....

kris/ow_mummy/ciarie - ur ss really damn good *envy* i pump 3 hrly only can get 100ml combined now. can anyone share how to increase ss by pumping exclusively? issit pump more frequently will increase ss? do u guys still get engorged?? after like 5 hrs, i still dun get engorged but pump still got milk la...
haha..got companion liao. My bb sometimes also refused to sleep at night when i want to express milk. Drink ebm liao still don't want to sleep want to carry. But tk god that doesn't always happen. At least not every night. That will be a few hrs of sleep ley. Damn tired. This can happen during day time also.

tingting, from 7pm-12am, cannot properly sit down and do something loe. My mum, hubby and I took turns to carry her, she will fall asleep awhile then when we put her back to cot, she will wake up in few minutes time. And was hungry every 1 hour, no wonder she so exhausted, after that slept till 5am. Think she get scared easily also, sometimes wake up in the middle of the night crying so loud (louder than when she's hungry), so i guess she had a nightmare. So young also got nightmare one ah?
yah, i had a cot mobile for her, sometimes manage to distract her while changing her diapers, haha.
lilmoo, my baby don't really like aircon, sleep awhile will make noise one, so we use fan, and only cover her with a thin diaper cloth. maybe becos of that, she gets startle easily from sleep, cos no swaddling feeling.
Ciarie, i also kena that kind of feeling before leh, cos i overslept and neh neh also wanna burst liao, then bb start crying, no choice, must attend to her first, change, feed, coax to sleep..i understand how you feel man. the hard rock neh neh feeling + tired--->desperado....

KP, I ordered the 'Your baby can read' DVD le, not sure if Taka is cheaper ornot, but nvm lah...send to my house directly, since I won't be going town these few weeks also.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the price deter you!, October 11, 2008
By L. Cabrera (Bellingham, WA USA) - See all my reviews
My 5 month old daughter LOVES her Sophie the Giraffe toy! This toy is absolutely wonderful in every way. Sophie is made of soft rubber and makes a pleasant-sounding squeak whenever any part of her body is squeezed, so even a young baby can elicit a reaction from the toy with minimal effort.
I don't know what it is about Sophie, but whenever my daughter plays with her, she gets very vocal and talkative.
I saw another review which referred to this toy as "a glorified dog toy". That reviewer is mistaken, and simply doesn't realize the value of this toy.
- Sophie's body, while soft, has several areas of thicker rubber (the nubs on her head, her ears, and her feet) which are perfect for teething babies to gnaw on for relief.
- Sophie's contrasting colors (spots) are visually stimulating to a baby.
- She is easy to grip given her long, thin neck.
- This toy is made of 100% natural rubber and uses food-grade paint (SAFE!).
- This is a quality baby toy which will last for many years.
I would much rather pay $20 for a safe, engaging toy for my baby, than pay $5 for some piece of junk with lead paint.

hee hee, I am also planning when to cut my hair. Looks like that is a big concern for most mommies!
Can't wait for confinement to be over. Almost always eating the same kind of food, so boring. But cos I had c-section, can't take seafood for 3 months so can't have sashimi even after confinement.
Am going to start my massage tmr. Want to ask ah, what if bb gets hungry in the middle of massage? I latch her on so a bit worried she will wake up and get hungry in the middle of my massage!!

dodos, that happens to me to. At night, I will ask my husband to help out so I can pump, morning I will ask my MIL to help. But when after my confinement dunno how am I to cope in the day.
Eunice, my supply is same as yours, still wondering if I should extend to 4 hourly. I bought the fenugreek pill, will let you know if it is effective after I've tried.

Pei, tahan for awhile, soon confinement will be over. i aso have the same feeling as ya, same food until i have not much apetite. i had c sect too, its better to avoid seafood. my PD aso told me to avoid seafood if we are bf, cos may cos bb to have ezcema or skin prob.
when i massage, i ask my mil to feed bb with EBM.
mousy_Pig, i'm aso thinking of taking fenugreek or nursing tea, let us know if its effective. i have been drinking fish papaya soup during confinement. my ms is abt 140 ml per pump ( both side tog) for 3 hrly. need to increase aso my girl is drinkg abt 120 ml.

lilmoo, hahahah congrats on getting her to sleep in air con! mine also we dress her in long jammies and swaddle her tightly in a blankey, and then give her pacifier--she still fusses for abt 20min but eventually does sleep. Tracy Hoggs say dun give pacifier as a prop...but bo bian my girl has very strong suckling reflex and i dun wan to keep giving her my breast. scared overfeed her.
Karrie, i have the Kiddopotamus Swaddleme. its a hand me down and i like using it to swaddle bb. very secure and comfy.
Gina Fords says you can give pacifier but dun let bb suck it to sleep cos it can be a habit. just it to soothe her down.
enjoy your couple massage!
mousy_pig, i think if i din drink the fish papaya soup, my ms will be even less.
