<font color="0077aa">annie, welcome home and back online! if you want to BF maybe you should start now because if baby don't start to suckle your supply will take longer to kick in. or you can try to pump if painful to latch. cos colostrum in first few days of milk supply is VERY IMPORTANT. it builds his immunity. can always give FM still for some feeds to slowly get him used to your BM. FM if bottle feed makes it easy for baby to feed so he might take a longer time to take to your breast in future.
i think alya not big lah...just that my camera shot that angle. hehe
post pics of your little prince leh...
bbaugustine, thanks for the tip. will try to burp her in btwn but when she sleep then the head so floppy2..i scared. will try anyway. and yes will massage while waiting for her to wake up too.

<font color="0077aa">question for mummies using steam steriliser: after sterilising, the items inside are very wet. if i want to dry it first, how ah? cos the other day i went to KK and had to pack the sterilised pump items but all wet2 leh..then put inside ziploc bag cos i was in hurry. is there a better way? i prefer the items to be dry when i pack them or is it normal to be wet2 then use the items?</font>

bbagustine: Not enough milk lah! And although no crack nipple but right side sensitive especially after trying out the PIS pump! My areola was stuck onto the pump and I got to slowly peel it away.
Just finish another 30+min feeding, got to take my nipple out slowly so that he won't wake up, now thinking whether should FM feed him or give him pacifier!

Congrats to all mummies who have popped! *group hug!* Take my hat off to sweethalo and Jessma, you endured and survived such long labour! *clap clap* Well done!
Confinement:
My mum very not strict kind, so I'm enjoying this period of having extra help around the house. I'm looking after baby on my own round the clock, but having my mum cook and clean is such a luxury. Wonder how to survive when she goes home after this month! But yes, my mum very cool about confinement "laws", so I'm allowed to go out, eat hawker food, drink cold drinks, drink plain water at room temperature, and eat vegetables and fruits hehe. Happy!
Massage:
Haven't started yet. Told her to come next Mon, but just realised that next week I may be very busy cos it's baby Skyla's first month, and I may need to run around delivering cakes and stuff. Hmmm, may need to postpone again till the following Monday...
TBF:
Nipples still feel a bit sore everyday, to this day. Kiddo has a habit of biting down with her gums on my nipple, before she latches and suckles. So each BF session usually starts off with a big yelp from me. Sometimes she latches on straight away, sometimes she latch spit latch spit for a long time (longest record was 1hr just to LATCH) before I take her off the breast to "scold" her, then she latch properly. Think she's having another growth spurt, so over the last couple of days have been struggling to pump to increase my supply. Tiring man... Oh, Medela PureLan is the best invention EVER. At first I bought only the small tube, cos not sure how much of it I'd use. Once I knew I was going to sell my soul for it, I quickly bought a BIG tube off someone in the WTS. Let's see how long that big tube lasts.
Weight loss:
Eh, how's everyone's progress? I gained total 14.5kg during pregnancy, and when I weighed myself 2 days back, I had lost 8kg (2.5wks post-delivery). 6kg more to go! But belly looks shrunken back already (even though I don't dare to measure myself), doesn't look like I'm pregnant anymore. But obviously I got extra 6kg of FATS to lose. Sigh. Hopefully once my massage starts, I'll lose more. Anyway, I decided that total latching on is really helping me shrink my belly, cos my friend who gave birth 6wks ago doesn't latch her baby, and she still looks about 4-5mths pregnant.
Baby full month:
I only just realised that whatever cakes etc that I wanna order, I have to place order by the next 2 days! They usually take orders 1wk in advance right?? I need to distribute the week starting 29th, I just realised it just now during dinner! *panic*
Baby carrier:
Anyone knows where to buy the Pikkolo carrier?
Wah biang, didn't realise Skyla was planning to sleep a full 3hrs, otherwise I would have gone to nap after dinner! I thought she would wake very quickly, cos she fell asleep within 5min at her last feed. Now super regret not napping, cos I'm sure she won't let me sleep tonight!

<font color="0077aa">ahnetsan, thanks for info abt sterilising. btw, your ML got put anything on your forehead and arms to keep you warm? it's called param and pilis, for malays we always do this. how long was your massage session and did she massage baby too? sorry so many questions..cos my ML also charging $35 so wondering what's the inclusion. she in malaysia now and will be back on tuesday so cannot ask her until then.
Tubby, my mum also helping with confinement. and hubby going back to work on tuesday. sometimes i feel bad that im cooped up in the room minding the baby while mum is cooking and cleaning outside. i ask her to rest in the guest room but she's not comfy i guess. your mum stays with you? does she stay the whole day with you? and when she goes back after one month, you think you can manage meals and housework on your own? it's only day 6 and already im thinking how to make it work from 2nd month onwards.
re TBf: alya's like that too, she's so eager for the nipple that she goes in for the kill right when she sees it and before im even ready sometimes. i wait for her to cry then when mouth big big i dive her in. works sometimes, not all the time. i'm sometimes a bit scared to put her on left breast because it's more sore than right one. btw Tubby, when you use Purelan, you don't wear a bra right? then does your cotton shirt fibres stick to nipple? i tried wearing it with the breastshells (which also collects leaking milk) but my sleep bra covers all the holes on the shell that i feel nipples not getting aired enough. how ah?
my stomach still hurts, don't know if it's the uterus. it's hard to even sit, stand or lie down. luckily my wound is healing well (i hope) as now i can sit directly on chair. was using the donut float for past few days.
any mummies using the BF pillow? i find the positioning very weird, and can only do the football hold comfortably.
going to sleep soon cos her night feeds are like every 2 hours. yest for the 5am feed i was so sleepy and cannot hold her properly.</font>

Caramelle - breastfeeding position: because of the c-sec wound, the first time I was told to breastfeed on bed in the hospital. So now at night I'm also breastfeeding lying down. Then you dun need to hold the baby and can afford to doze off once in a while
ahnetsan: I dun burp my baby after latching
Only that time when bottle feed during the phototherpy we burp him after bottle feed. In fact I thot reading somewhere that for breastfeeding we can burp our baby before feed so that the air can get out of the stomach and baby can take in more!

Hi Mommies,
Congrats to all the mommies that have popped.
Delivered my bb Sarah on June 20 ( EDD was supposed to be 12 June). She is 3.490kg and 49 cm. Sarah was delivered via Csect w epi. Due cervice refuse to dilate even at 41 weeks and not favourable for inducing, dr suggested to do csect as water level is getting low. Sigh...bit least she is out safe and sound. We are still at Mount A. Hopefully can discharge tom. Stitches are still v sore but lucky still can the pain while Bfing.

Sharon_Limb: Congrats!
You have the same condition as me! Also 41 weeks, cervix only a finger dilated. I also went for C-sec w Epi and was at Mt A too! Remember to get the LC to teach you how to latch, for my case, the LC only come on the first day, she managed to latch my baby. Then I never remember to ask for LC help again until the night before I discharge, and the LC reluctantly come at 11:30am, just when we were busy discharging and I've fed my boy already...

caramelle, my mum and dad is staying with me day/night for the month. I am FEARING the day they leave, cos now all my meals gets cooked for, and the house is kept tidy. And occasionally when I desperately need a nap, my mum will watch over Skyla. Skyla doesn't need much watching lah, cos normally she also just sleeps in the bassinet, but it's just peace of mind that there's someone with her while I totally concuss for an hour. Usually aft BF, I apply BM to the nipple a couple of times, then let it totally air dry, then I apply the PureLan before stuffing boob back into sleep bra. I made the mistake of not wearing a breast pad in the first couple of days, and the PureLan stained my bra badly. So now I make sure I always have breast pad on. It only sticks a bit to the breastpad. So I guess this means my nipples don't get a lot of airing, only that 10min or so when I air dry after applying BM... I can't stand the sensation of nipples chafing against clothing now, cos abit sore and very sensitive, so I rather compromise on the airing...
Ahnet, 3rd July will be exactly 1 month mah, and that's a Fri, so my mum say distribute cakes during the few days before, cannot after. So means next week distribute liao lor, which means this week must order cakes. You also around same timing leh!
Oh, and I usually burp baby after latching. maybe KS or what haha. But she did posset a few times recently, came out like fountain like that, so I got scared and have been religiously burping her... But most of the time she never burp leh, assume she never take in any air haha!
Blurmom, My girl can't even upgrade out of her Huggies Ultra NB size yet! Haiyoh, the Pampers NB size looks so big on her skinny ass, so my dad had to go out and buy another pack of Huggies NB size, cos Huggies cutting smaller. *faint* I'm hoping after this pack, she can upgrade to other brand NB size where the cutting is bigger. Anyway, I think Gmarket price should be ok. If you're already a Gmarket member, now got discount coupon right? Think it's $5 off $20 purchase... Some more usually got free delivery to your house.
Congrats SharonLimb! Most important thing is baby is out and healthy now
dolly, the first day, the LC Sara came to help me latch, she also said due to c-sec wound, best position is lying down. But Skyla didn't know how to latch like that, end up we had to hold her facing the wrong way (her butt in my face or something stupid like that!) before she will latch, which obviously means that lying down position wouldn't work for me. So since day 1, I had to latch her sitting up. Pai mia... Oh, and I super KS, made LC come twice a day while I was still staying at MAH wahahaha! Actually, Day 2 and 3 the senior nurse will come and help me latch my girl, cos she knows my girl got very bad latching & sucking reflex and whenever we try for 10min or so unsuccessfully, she will say "I get LC to come", so I never had to ask hehe.

Thanks Dolly and Tubby Mummy.
I too have problem latching sarah on while lying down. Ha ha....end up i am also using the cradle position now. A little more painful and was so afraid i will drop her if i doze off...
My cervice was so tight that its not even 1cm dilated. Very unusual as this is my second child. so end up have to csect. But i guess all are worth it as long as bb is safe and sound...
I guess from now on, we all just have to jia you with our breastfeeding

hi ladies...
been awhile..
congrats to mummies who popped!!! june is almost 3/4 past...
ahnetsan, some pple count the date using lunar calendar. so u got to check what is the lunar date for 4/6. then cross ref to lunar date for 1 mth after. lunar calendar is normally shorter like 28 days so it will be a few days before 4/7.
sometimes i'm so guilty of not tbf. but i seem to have a problem in keeping up with baby's demand for milk. any remedy in increasing milk supply???
tubbyM, u may want to try mamy poko NB. it can fit up to 5kg. huggies has the smallest cutting...

re: diapers
yeah, my boy is also using mamy poko NB now.
lovelytulips,
yeah lor, been a while... well, like u said before, giving formula or nt tbf is not wrong. so pls dun feel guilty.
drink milo, drink soup, eat fish, eat oats, drink lactating milk powder, all will help in increasing milk supply... and also, pump out every 4 hourly, it also helps to increase milk supply.

lovelytulips, u can try to take the fenugreek from GNC. heard it helps on the milk supply. i'm also like u, not able to keep up my boy's supply. he has been given FM from day 1. aniway, i am pumping out like erm a pathetic 1 oz every 2 hours. he drinks 2.5oz every 3 hrs now. i was quite depressed for sometime but i come to terms and accept it. baby can still be healthy with FM and there is nothing wrong with it. i grew up on FM also. =D

Sharon_Limb TubbyMummy: My first latching was unsuccessful cos the nurse just try to squeeze my nipple into baby mouth. Then second round this Sara come and she also try the butt at my face kinda position, but still cannot latch, at last Kendrick latch correctly beside me, so since then I've been doing that. Then when I start sit up and carry him to latch, my wound is more painful. So most of the time I will latch on the bed.
lovelytulips: Same here, my milk supply is quite low, so I resort to latch everytime he's hungry, and hope that with constant latching, more supply will come. One good thing is there's no engorgement. And I found that I got to start latching once he cries, else he'll take long time (like 15 min) just to settle down and my CL will say cos there's no milk
Now I latch him almost every hour, each time 15 to 30 min.

ahnet, har, how come 2nd Jul or 25 June? Must count chinese calendar date is it?? I dunno, I just use ang moh calendar haha... My mum also blur blur got same logic as me, so we just take it as 3 Jul means exactly 1mth old
lovelytulips, my skinny girl still can fit her Huggies NB haha... Dunno when can upgrade... Don't feel guilty for feeding FM, we're all just doing whatever we can, and in the best interest of our child
If u still wanna try to increase your BM supply, try to latch baby on for 5-10min before you feed the FM, so bb gets chance to suckle on breast, and breast can be triggered to produce more milk. Try to pump more also. Even if pump and nothing comes out, still do it, just to trigger breast to produce milk. I drink green papaya fish coup every alternate day, and pop some fenugreek capsules everyday. Must drink lots of water too, at least 2litres a day is good. Jiayou!
Yan, all the best for tomorrow, update us with your story!
