To all mummies, how do you entertain / pacify your bb?
I've been having problem with my girl. She will usually cry whenever I carry her. This happen since I started carry her after my CL left. She's ok when I BF her, but after that when I carry her, she'll fidget and end up crying. I've been trying all along, adjusting the carrying postitions and rocking her, but it just doesnt work out. Im not sure if i carry her wrongly that's why she feels uncomfortable or she feels that Im very boring or she simply doesnt like me (thou I hope not).
Dont know how to pacify her, always ended up passing her to my maid. Then my maid will cuddle her and within 1 min, my girl will stop crying and settle down. I'm actually worried that my bb will end up be attached to my maid and ignore me.
Any tips in pacifying bb and patting them to sleep?

Super shields,
Anyone knows if pumping pal super shield is any good? Does it really help in preventing blocked ducts and promoting better milk flow? I am thinking of getting it but am worried that it's not useful at all. Mommies who are using them please share. Thanks!!

Corine's Mum,
It may be the way u carry ur baby that's why she cries? I was like tat too in the beginning.. she will always cry when i carry her, but when CL carry, she will stop.. so CL says its cos of the way i carry..
but now after so long, and i'm mostly the one carrying her to sleep, she's happy with me liao.. although sometimes still cries..
then i will put her down and let her play with her cot mobile.. she will be happy and all smiles again.
For those going gathering tomorrow, anyone has spare medela membrane (the white flap thingy) to sell or pass to me? I think the reason why my pump not working as well is becos of the membrane.. my breasts cant be cleared properly and i am in urgent need of getting it repaired..
United sq got sell medela accessories or not?
Kris,
paiseh, i actually dun need the Avent teats liao cos someone just gave me a box of 260ml bottles that came with the teats..
u want to see if someone else needs it?

Pei, I had the pumping pal super shield. Not bad! But to fully empty the breast, u need to position the nipple properly so the suction cover the whole breast! I alternate it between this and the medela shield. So far no engorgement. On the contrary, I had bad engorgement from the softfit breastshields.
Oshgosh, united square has a shop call Mums & Babes. It carries Medela stuff. Storewide 20% too! I am using freestyle hence do not have the membranes ah.. Just hope there is stock. My breastshield OOS leh!
Cia.. heee so funny reading about the squirting incident. Usually I will squirt on his face every time I latch my bb one too. He will be super angry and push my breast away.. only to get milk squirted on his cheeks.. eye.. forehead. Then yesterday.. I BF him in the dark... and this morning, his hair had this whitish stuff.. oops! It's MILK! Usually when I have a let down, the squirting will happen loh..
Pumping is really tiring.. esp when you are the sole care giver. Coz really hard to estimate the timing when u need to feed and pump and ensure enuff supply before you latch!! So far, I only pump during the day, latch during the night and morning feed. And to make the washing and sterilising easier, I actually had 3 sets of pumping equipment. Hence no need to wash so frequently... else really frustrating.

SKS, try latching bb on.. after 2-3 times of constant latching plus pumping post latching, the "hardened" part may soften. Babies are the BEST PUMP!! Are your milk ducts blocked?
Max, give yourself 2 days. If it doesn't work, better see a lactation consultant to help you massage it out.
Ya.. I always have this problem too!! Milk supply drops too whenever this occur.

baby_mummy,
My baby will choke when I have let-downs. Then she will cough cough cough and after that let out s soft *sigh*, so darn cute lor!! But sometime after she coughed, she doesn't want to latch on anymore leh
You have any problem getting Jovan (is the name correct?) to relatch after he pushed your breast away?

Pei, yes it fits almost all the pump brands. Let me know if you would like to try it out tmr ya? I can bring it.
Hee.. ya loh.. either they choke or they "puke" the nipple out loh! Mine puke it out and gave me a "disgusted" face leh..
Yup! You got the name right!
Ya sometimes he will grunt and reject.. so I'll let him "take a little break" and tried latching him again. The reason why I only latch during the nite and 1st day fit is, those are the feeds which he is most well behaved.. keke... the rest of the feeds.. must really have lots of patience to stuff the nipple back!!

i used the super shield previously but did not like it. it is reasonably comfy cos can lean back but for me the suction will come off. my bb also have problem dealing with my letdown some times, she will make noise or cry in frustration as she dunno how to handle it. poor thing.

i emailed you, did it go through?

Pei,
I am using Super Shields on Ameda pump, no problem at all. In fact, I was initially using only the handsfree kit and I realised that as I pumped, there was quite a lot of leakage unless I sat real straight up. Bought a new set of super shields from ebay, and it was much cheaper than buying via the mumsfairy website. Maybe you wanna post in the "Want to Buy" section? Some mummies may wanna let go of theirs. With the super shields, there is hardly any leakage and you can lean back and relax hee...
I am not sure whether super shields help in relieving engorgement cos I will massage as I pump, main reason I got these is cos I was real fed up with the leakage and it was so tiring to have to sit straight all the time!
Cia,
Personally I feel that kids do adapt very quickly, initially they will cringe at change in routine or environment, soon they will get used to it already. If your mum really doesn't wish to help you take care of #2, your plan may be the best way out. Anyway you can finally stay at your own place right? If it's me, I will choose this! Moreover as your kids grow, you need bigger space too rather than lodging at your mum's place. I think the elderly sometimes prefer a little freedom and own time as well, so if they really don't wish to help, we just find out own way out, definitely feasible.
Corine's Mum,
I am teaching in a primary school hehe... will PM you my school name k cos I am not sure who's reading here! =p
Actually saw my school's name in one of the threads here asking about P1 registration!
Generally my school students' profiles are quite different from the neighbourhood schools cos quite a number don't stay nearby and generally they come from financially ok or well-off families. Kids these days mostly speak English at home so it's difficult to teach them lor!
Anyway, do try to carry your baby often, and don't let your maid do it most or all the time. My maid loves my girl and likes to carry her often and I have to keep telling her to put her down once she is pacified! Don't wanna my bb to grow too attached to maid and also develop the bad habit of wanting to be carried all the time! Actually babies do recognise the smell of their mummies cos when my girl cries, my hubby takes a longer time to pacify her and once I took over, she stops almost immediately. Till my hubby got jealous and joked that she is a useless daughter hahaha... Now that I am on ML, I try to be the primary caregiver for my girl, my family maid mainly comes over during daytime to help out in the chores. Try to spend more time with your girl and I think they are starting to recognise faces now.
The US outing is so tempting and I really wanna go! But hubby gonna leave SG soon so he's back early in the afternoons, think will try to join gatherings next month.
