Hi mummies!
It'd been a long time since I posted! Been busy with baby who had flu and cough! It was a nightmare cos she can't breathe with her stuffy nose and keeps crying and wants to be carried, especially at night. Many sleepless nights.. Finally now she's better but still a bit blocked nose and cough. Hope all the babies here are well and healthy!
Re: Gathering
I wanna go! So sad i missed the 1st gathering cos baby was sick. the pics on FB are so cute! But dunno if my mum will let me go or not, esp. with the H1N1 and baby just recovered. so far, haven't go out alone with baby before, always with my mum or hubby or both. Can I go without baby? Jean, if I can go, I share cab with u? isit shun lu? dunno if I can manage baby alone or not..
Re: Milk
I also supplementing with FM but only at night cos i wanna baby to sleep longer. I find that pump matters a lot. I used to use Medela Mini Electric and it was painful and takes me one hr to pump. I bought Avent Isis iQ Uno and pumping time reduced to 30mins (i'll extend to 45mins if i want more milk) and I can get more. Most impt is not painful and sometimes feel relieved during letdown. Oh, i took fenugreek 3 times a day and Organic Mother's Milk tea to increase my supply but not much but so far, enough for baby.
TinklesMum - (If I'm not wrong)if u put the expressed milk in the fridge and u look at it after a while, u can see three layers, the top thick white one is fatty milk (i think cos it floats), the middle one is milk in general, and the bottom clear clear liquid is foremilk, mainly water to quench baby's thirst. I always like to observe these three layers and I notice milk pumped early in the morn will have more water and if later in the day, will have more fats.
Re: Diapers
I love Goon! But a bit ex so using Nepia now. So far so good, but dunno if it's too big, sometimes if baby poos alot, the poo will flow all the way to the back and sometimes stain her clothes or the bed. Anyone else encounter this too?
Re: Going back to work
I think i'll be the last few to go back to work. Only going back to work end-Sep cos my parents (baby's main caregiver after I go back to work) will be going on holiday in Sep so I took 4months of ML + 1month of annual leave to stay at home to look after baby until my parents are back. Think go back to work will be rusty liao. Anyone taking long leave too?
Re: baby's schedule
Does your baby stick to a certain routine/schedule? Due to baby being sick, her routine all go haywire. How to tune her back? I used flashcards on my baby but she doesn't seem interested.. >.<
