queen, you even latch on in the night? yes in the nite i feed on demand and she can sleep 4 hrs stretch and i feed her bottle EBM. too tired and messy to latch her on.
Pei, PD also told me the same thing, that they don't need pillow now. but my girl's head behind too sharp, so once in awhile let her sleep on newborn pillow.

karrie, happy anniversary!! Enjoy your couple massage and dinner!!
So envious... 
cocobunz, the back of my girl's head is sharp too. Maybe it's cos we had c-sections. Later I will go kiddy palace to buy her a newborn pillow. Hee hee, an excuse to go out!! Any recommendations on pillows?

Hi Mommies,
Hope you are all doing well with your babies.
I gave birth at 14 April to a little girl at TMC,time fiied she is already two weeks old now.
I read this thread since I was pregant for 37weeks..I did get many useful tips from all mommies! Meantime i feel i also have something to share with you..
About my confinement..my parents/PIL are all oversea (by the way I am chinese, my husband is French) so I didn't have any professional help here.So.. it ends up I showed everyday with hair washed; drinking iced water since 3days after birth; walking with baby outdoor for whole afternoon non-stop; sleep in air con room 24/7...all the so called "illegal" things I have done, which is extremely against Chinese confinement traditions.
However, so far I have to say I feel quite good..except the "swim ring" around my waist reminds me that I have given birth not long time ago,otherwise I feel like the condition before pregancy.Milk supply is good enough and so far no engorgment (counting on baby to wake up and drink cos my breasts are filled with milk and going to explode.)
I am not saying confinement is not necessary..of course there must be reasons it exists for so many years..just by sharing this to let some moms know that don't feel bad if you don't follow it exactly..
Also I have some questions about baby..
My girl vomits milk quite often,sometimes she just split the whole amount of milk I just fed her.. looks very scary.is it normal? how to prevent it?
By the way I use GOO.N diaper -- quite good actually..

cocobunz,
Yes, I latch on 24 hours... I find it a hassle to pump, wash, sterilise and then bottle feed leh. And now, it seems like my breasts are 'programmed' to letdown every 3 hourly, even when I'm sleeping. So if my boy sleeps past 3 hours, I will actually wake up even though he isn't crying for milk cos I feel the letdown and my breasts are very full. So easier to just latch at night.
But I'm going to start tandem pumping soon cos returning to work after 2 months.
tingting,
I'm using the contoured newborn pillow by BabySafe.

Lisha, our situation is quite similar. I am Chinese and my husband is English. He doesn't believe in those confinement practices and what's worse is that my gynae told him the same things too! I don't have a confinement lady but my mom comes over to my place to cook lunch and dinner for me. Other than that, it's pretty much the 3 of us at home. I don't really follow those confinement practices too.

Hi Pei,
Nice to hear that you have the same situation here..
Yes European they don't believe in confinement at all..also my husband against me to wrap the baby, he lets her expose in the air con room with only a tiny piece of baby clothes..guess they raise child all in a rough way.. at least rougher than us..
How old is your baby? a little princess or prince
?

Pei,
Er... I'm not sure if the pillow is any good but just thought I'll buy it cos I guess it helps to keep baby sleeping on his back (reduce SIDS). No harm lah.
If you pump after a good latch, cannot expect to pump out much lah. The trick to a good pump if to achieve as many letdowns as possible.
Could it be that time when you pump, no letdowns?
Catherine,
Sometimes my boy does that as well, though I think it's usually when the flow is too slow (after letdown) and he is impatient. ANd then sometimes when I letdown, the flow can be too fast and he will unlatch himself and my milk drips all over his face!!! So when I feel that the letdown is fast, I will lean back a bit.
Lisha,
Personally, I don't care for confinement as well. Heheh... my mom is doing confinement for me and she'll nag when I insist on washing my hair everyday (and not blowdry), have cold drinks (once in a while) and I go out every weekend to nearby malls! I even managed to convince her to go to Robinsons' Closed Door sale with me and HB yesterday, even though I still have 1 week of confinement to go!

Lisha, my baby girl is 3 weeks old today
Queen, I think I only experience let downs when bb is latching, not when pumping. When pumping, initially it's a squirt, then it's a trickle
My mom also always nag me about food and stuff. I ate ondeh ondeh the other day and got a huge scolding from her!! She says coconut gives wind. Any one knows whether that's true??

Pei,
Try deep breathing. Inhale and count 1234, then exhale 1234. Feel your whole body relax. Do the deep breathing while you are pumping. It helps to bring about letdown. This is the only thing that works for me in stimulating letdowns while I was pumping at work for my #1 last time.

catherine : my girl does that too sometimes. Then I read online, they're saying that this could be because the milk flow is too slow. Maybe you can read on from this website : http://www.breastfeeding.org.sg/ under info corner, I find the articles and videos by Dr Jack Newman very informative n useful.
Confinement matter : Luckily my mom not too strict bout confinement. Although yes I'm not allowed to wash hair (but I secretly wash once a week kkekekeke), I have to bathe in ginger and lemongrass water every day, drink all the soups and red date tea she made, but she still allow me to go out at times to do some grocery shopping or baby stuff shopping he he he. Our moms just want us to be well. During my mom's time, she don't have the luck to have a confinement lady or a maid to help to take care of her children. Now, in her fifties, she has knee and back problem. So, she told me to nourish myself well after giving birth. Furthermore, women age faster than men..

hello...
my girl also hates to sleep in the aircon... so mummy has to suffer with the fan
... but as long as she gets a good sleep, i will accept the suffering.. heheheh..
she also is annoying from abt 7pm - 1am.. i wonder if its the wind in her stomach.. but i do apply the yu yee oil n she still is grumpy..must carry her n walk around the house .. i think my mum b bro r spoiling her ...
anyway, need to ask you mummies something - does breastmilk attract ants? i realised tat after cleaning my girls mouth with the bip n leaving the bip for wash, it will attract ants. am wondering if this is normal?

Re. Ruyi oil
Anyone using this already? I have started to put rub a bit on my boy's tummy and feet every morning and evenings. Cos I'm worried he will be colicky due to wind in tummy. My 1st boy had a colicky period in 2nd month. He would cry every evening without fail for 2 hours or so non-stop and he was really wailing! Very traumatic for me to handle my boy when he had his colicky cries. I tried those colic drops but didn't realy help. Anyway, the colic went away after 2 to 3 weeks but I'm not taking chances this time. Dunno whether the Ru Yi oil will help, but just doing whatever I can to pre-empt, if it's possible at all.

Hi Ciarie,
Just wanna update your list. I delivered my baby girl on 20th April at Mount Alvernia. EDD was supposed to be 24th April.
To all the mummies out there:
Just wanna share with you all, if you're considering changing your gynae for the next pregnancy, you can try Dr Ho Hon Kwok at Mt Alvernia. He's my gynae and he's really an expert in stitching. I had my episiotomy done till near the anus. Quite a long cut. But after a week, I no longer felt any more pain nor discomfort. Seriously, the stitching technique is very important if you want a speedy recovery. I had a pile (haemorrhoid) operation done by an associate consultant once at SGH some years back and the stitches took me nearly a month to recover! It was a misery for me then.
To any mummies out there:
Can anyone advise how much breastmilk a 2 week old baby should approximately be consuming? I'm feeding EBM to my girl at 60ml. This lasts her for 3 to 4 hours. When she's hungry, she just won't latch on for long. She prefers the EBM in a bottle cos she's a super fast drinker. I think my milk flow is not fast. She slurps up her milk in less than 3 mins! Anyone facing the same problem as me? She only latches on when she needs comfort.

(2)and read tat we r supposed to boil e seeds wif water? (3) wats e proportion of seeds n water?
Thanks so much for answering my questions.

SKS, if there is wind try to apply ruyi oil. and if she's crying becos of wind in stomach, PD told me to carry her upright and let her head lie on the shoulder (like the burp position) then she will feel more comfortable. sway and move but do not shake her.
i aso notice that BM attacts ants when i leave my funnel and bottles unwashed during the nite.
Pei, when i pump, its also the same squirt alot and then after 5 mins it starts to trickle. i tot its normal becos the initial 1 is foremilk and the trickle pit is the hind milk. what about other mummies? is it always gushing out during a let down? hehe

queen, thanks for your suggestion, I will give it a try next time
cocobunz, at least your squirts lasts for 5 mins, mine only lasts for a couple of squirts lor (probably only a few seconds!!) Then I will try and squeeze my breast and then will get another squirt but then no more leh. Very problematic...

lisha, my gal is rejuvenated by a bath leh.. she can be wide awake for at least 1 hr after bath, even after feeds..
Ruyi oil can be bought at most provision shops, guardian, supermarkets, etc. It helps to dispel wind in the stomach. place 2 drops on your palm, warm it by rubbing with your palms, and gently smooth over her tummy.

yes tingting thanks for the info, guess am going to get the oil in case of colic.
so far any moms's babies encounter the colic? Or normally it would happen to baby older than one month?

lisha, my bb always sneeze when my hubby changes her nappy!! Told him it's cos her tummy is not covered up but he doesn't believe me. DOn't think he believes that bb can get wind in their tummy if they aren't covered up properly. Can be very exasperating!!
On most days, bb sleeps after every feed. But once in a while, she will be wakeful after a feed, normally in the afternoon.
As for Ru Yi oil, for some bb, they can be sensitive to it, perhaps cos they are still so young. My bb had a rash on her tummy after I applied the oil on her. NOw I am using Telon oil, read from the forum that it's not bad. So far so good.

I got colic drops from doc as well due to the little girl vomits milk quite often..i used the drop only once to her then I decided not to use it again.. She thought am going to feed her with milk.. so her mouth was widely open..with such an expectant look..then one sec after she tasted the drop,she was desperated to vomit it out.all the little body turned red...so heartbreaking...guess she thought mom cheated her. aiii.

Yvonne,
I guess our bill differs probably due to the gynae charges. I think Mt A maternity package is more or less the same, just that the doctor charges make a difference. I was in the labour ward for less than 3 hours, not sure whether that makes a difference too? Anyway here's my bill breakdown:
Hospital Charges for Mummy
Assisted delivery with epidural = $1,130
Single ward charges for 2days (3D2N) = $700
Clinical consumable & supply = $39
Companion (non claim) = $150
Equipment usage = $20
F&B Services (non claim) = $6.40
Pharmacy = $36.75
Total Hospital Charges with GST = $2227.90
Doctor Charges for Mummy
Doctor attendance fee = $400
Doctor operation fee = $1,000
Doctor other fee = $80
Total chargable = $1480

Epiduralist = $350
Total charges for mummy = $4057.90
Hospital Charges for Baby
