Doglefox,
i got my period last week, its very light and come and go type, maybe coz of breastfeeding. For me considered healed coz no more pain but abit scared if my stools are hard.
Mummyash,
ur red discharge might be ur period since its been a month.
amk_gal,
i havnt even weigh myself! I use the sling too and Aisha will curve too. If she curve sideways, it try to straighten her coz i feel not very good for her spine. But if curve upwards like doing crunches, i let her be coz its like being in fetal position when in womb. BTW, i like ur method of pumping and latching. will try it coz when pumping, i dunt get the let-down that I always get when latching on. will always leak the other breast when latching.
hayoki,
rotarox (for the rotavirus) - 2 oral doses at least 1 mth apart. 1st dose @ 2nd mth, 2nd dose @ 3rd month. must be taken b4 5 months i think, after tat no use liao.. just check just now - $100 per dose (Kidslink Clinic @ Bedok). there is a 3 doses version but not too sure abt details. must be taken while still very young too.
pneumococcal - anytime can take. 2 doses b4 24 months, after 24 mths, 1 dose. $160 per dose (Happy Baby Clinic)
BB,
hmm.. babies likes the warmth and cuddles. If she's not sleepy, can try play with her awhile so can tire her out eg. put her on her tummy for tummy time. If she's sleepy can try to swaddle her and pat/rock her to sleep then only put her down when she's deep in sleep. For me when I know Aisha wants/needs to sleep but her eyes wide open, I put her in the sling and let her be. slowly, she will fall asleep after abt 5-10min. If she starts fussy/crying, i will rock/pat her. This is what I do when she does not want to drink when I offer her my breast.
TPY,
here my ans
1. i dunt use, but i got those non-disposable type-wash after use. most time dunt leak much but i change bra if leak alot.
2. Use the finger method if suction is hard, if not, i just pull away. I try to wipe my breast n Aisha's mouth if too messy.
3. No leh, i nv clean coz dunt feel dirty unless sticky from leaky breast. Outside, dunt need to clean lah., just latch. esp is u bf in public, not in nursing room. if not, will be obvious - suppose to bf discreetly mah..
4. I wear nursing bra all the time. I use no padding (mothercare ones) or very thin padding so that easier to bf - i have 1 thick padding, not nice to bf with. empty breast is very soft and can "flatten" abit.
5. pump sterlise using the same steriliser used for bottles. will place breastshild downwards.
