Adv_sport, I dont know if we could get mother mates from pharmacy. Maybe, we would be able to get something similar to that. No harm giving it a try cos the pair that I have is effective and it will last for a while.
Abby, my gal is spoilt by the CL. She is always carrying and rocking her to sleep without our knowledge. Very pissed of with her cos we have been telling her not to do that but...
Weight loss:
Thank goodness I have gone back to my pre-pregnancy weight. It is the same as my #1. For both pregnancy, my weight gain were about 10kg but I believe breastfeeding helps a lot
However, when I tried on my non-maternity clothes, the pants still feel a bit tight, possibly due to the expanded pelvic bones! For tops, they are exploding at the bust area!!! Think got to buy some clothes when I return to work...
Amount of milk:
Can use this formula
(150 X weight of baby)/no. of feeds per day
Eg. for my gal, (150X3.6)/8 = 67.5ml
This is just a guide. In fact my gal is drinking 100ml EBM at night. Day time, I latch so I dont know how much she drinks.
CL:
Got to share my frustrations here (SORRY). She is really a horrible lady... and I am totally pissed off by the way she feeds my girl. Just now at her 7pm feed, I nearly cried after seeing how she fed her. I heard gal fussing at the beginning of her feed while I was changing #1 and getting him ready for bed. I asked my maid to go and find out what actually happened. After a while, gal stopped and I was quite relieved. After changing my boy, I popped into gal's room to check on CL. Guess what she said? 'Wow, your gal now know how to throw tantrums ah. Very naughty!' so I decided to sit next to her and observe my gal, wondering how a 3 weeks old baby could throw tantrums... Saw gal struggling but quiet. Told her to burp baby. Then CL did and gal continued without making a fuss. I was glad. Went to kitchen, maid told me gal was frustrated cos CL held her bottle with the teat upside down and that's why gal was making noise (Mummies, this is not the first time we caught her making this mistake. Told her already but still, she is insolent!). Was mad, went to room to tell her off and reminded her all the rules that I gave her when it comes to feeding. She was upset, knowing that my maid must have told me, went to scold my maid! Luckily, my maid didnt take it to heart! This CL ah, only gives me trouble and nothing else! Cant wait for her to leave!
.. coz v hot.. but after the 10 sessions, tummy flatten already.
