oh it seems like im not the only one managing a baby who hardly sleeps in the day. He could go without or very little sleep previously during the daytime. Now since I got the sarong, he will fall asleep but don't sleep long. At least provide me some time to rest. He is also a very light sleeper in the day. He wakes up at every little sound so i have to be very quiet around the hse.

Bluedream, my boy feng yan are pretty obvious! then my sis say he look ugly... So sad... But I think its okie for boys to have such feature ba?
Light slper? Daylon dun really slp during the day too. I always caught him peeping... I think they r growing fast, wanting to play now... Sumtimes i'm so tired to play, then I just put him in his playmat. Then the next thing I know that he's talking (goo goo gaa gaa) to himself! After sumtime he'll scream for my attention liao.
Feeding volume:
May I noe how much oz/ml are u feeding ur babies? And how long they last or no. Of feed per day?

recently my boy has bad colic so he has reduce his intake of bottle feed ebm from 125ml to various amount frm 80-115ml. normally i'll still start off with 125ml n pour away the left over.
what will you do with the left over ebm after feeding? can the left over be use for the nxt feeding?

BB WANT TO BE IN OUR ARMS ALL THE TIME
For the first yesterday my girl slept from 8pm to 7am. I left her with my MIL from 12 to 7pm and she let bb cry for a long time in the afternoon, I know that i wont be able to do it cos hearing my bb scream make me Xin Fan! So i let my MIL do it at her place cos her method is not to hv bb in our arms all day long and that is the only way that bb does not sleeps too much in the day. My girl can really cry i swear! can be as long as 45 mins non stop.
Of course she checks on her every 20mins and only if is necessary she hold her to calm her and put her back down. This morning i tried it at home alone, not easy though but i stay in the kitchen to do stuff and with the washing machine running and the door shut i managed to do it and finally bb sleeps on her cot for the first time!
Not saying that it will work all the time or it is easy but at least for 2 days now. If you girls are too tired sometime maybe can try to let them cry abit.

Hi mummies
It's been a long time since I posted..
babycow
Usually we throw away the leftover ebm.. the next time u feed ebm try to pour the amt required & keep the rest in the fridge for the next feed.
Mittens
I started to remove her mittens and booties when she's 6 weeks old. I try to trim her nails every 2-3 days cos she likes to move both her hands everywhere her face & head..
feeding volume:
She is also on total breastfeeding & consumes 120ml-150ml per bottle feed of EBM every 3hr when my mum bbsit her else she latches on most of the time (cos mummy lazy to heat & wash & sterilizes bottle kekee)...I usually pump during the nite when she sleeps longer..
spotting
mummies.. are u still having menses..cos I'm still having mine since I give birth on 3 june..It's been like going to 2 months soon so it's normal???

kikimon,
think you should call your gynea instead, I still have watery blood till last sat (bb 6 weeks old), I called my gynea last thur he ask me to go down but it stop before it.
I only pump once in the morning and once at night, can get abt 160-240ml depend on last time I latch Cayden.
Sometime I pump when I feel hard, it abt 90-140ml abt 3hr after latch.
dolly,
thanks, mind to e-mail me the table?

dolly, on good days in the past baby could sleep up to 2 hrs but now 1 hr very good already. They seem to be more aware of what's going on around them and are getting very curious.
Im doing full latch on so no idea how much baby drinks but he latches on very frequently. it ranges from hourly feed to 2.5hr feed. At nite sometimes, he wakes up every 3hrs but on average he feeds every 2 hrs. My boy doesn't sleep for long day and nite and he feeds a lot! Sometimes he vomits milk, maybe drink too much? Anyone's baby feeds so frequently?
BB, your baby sleep from 8pm to 7am? Thats a lot of hours. I remember when I went to see PD just after baby was born. He said not to let baby sleep for more than 4 hours..hmmm not sure if it still applies since your baby should be more than 1 mth already rite. but 8pm-7am is really long! My baby never sleeps for more than 3 hours usually=P so poor mummy has to keep waking up in the middle of the nite. I usually wake up 3-4 times at nite to breastfeed.
Kikismom, i gave birth on 6 june. My menses stopped some time back already. Maybe you should check with your gynae.

I've just pumped..I can only fetch 190ml without latching her since 9am this morning..
during latching, she seems enough but when come to bottle fed she seem to intake more than latching if I based on EBM calculation..(she can take use up 7-8 pack of 150mL per day & I can only pump like 3-4 pack of 150ml)..just wondering if I go back to work will I've enough EBM for her...sigh

kikismom: my gynae just clean me up for the last 2 visit and say it's clean loh! And I was doing Malay massage for the past weeks, so thot maybe it's due to the massage. Now not much also, only a bit
I also uses glass bottles to store my EBM. Got those sample milk bottles from hospital, just need to go to the hospital pharmacy to buy the caps and the bottles can be used for storing milk.
jetaime21: My CL also uses glass bottles to freeze. It's quite handy, but I didn't boil the bottles to sterilize, just wash and rinse it with hot water before use.

I use glass bottles to store.when it's time to feed, it will pour into another glass bottle then put in a cup of hot water.
I'm changing to pigeon bottle when she's drinking more than 100ml because the glass bottle max at 100ml.
I have a problem:
what do you mommies think of babies who never poo for few days?

chris: Thanks for the info! Still looking for nanny though
I've not tasted mine too! I dun have leftover! My CL say my boy drinks a lot, might need 4 ounce per feed already.
qi: I've more then 20 glass bottles, guess still enough for the time being, and each side of my breast dun yield more than 100 ml for now. I see Avent sell some plastics cups for ebm, at least can stack up and won't waste too much space.
glass bottles from hospital: the cap from the hospital pharmacy comes with a opening for teat, so we dun need to transfer the milk out to other bottle, just put the teat will do
