Qi, you really steady la, i think my boy sure cannot oso
Re : FP rocker
I oso have a FP rocker.. usually after milk, burp and he needs to be upright for a while, we place him in the chair. think i have loads of things trying to make him sleep. 1 playpen, 1 cot, 1 rocker now the new toy is sarong!
finally just tried.. and we have some mins of sanity.. my mum can cut her toenails, i can come online. hur hur hur
TPYMUMMY, i TOTALLY agree with you. babies are very smart creatures! i always tell my mum not to carry him too much, he is just testing water. When he sees my mum, he will make that very "ke lian" pout and down turn lips. But when he see me, i just pat him, dont carry him unless he starts to howl. But my mum always cannot resist carrying him.
Infant care babies are definitely more independent and guai cos they dont have people rushing to them at their tiny wimpers. Grand Dad and GrandMa always "sio sio" "sayang Sayang" whole day. Okay sometimes i'm one of the culprits too but still have to try harder to leave them there and do some exercise. Good for their motor skills too.
Me oso the paranoid kind, when he sleep too long, i will think i thought he's supposed to get up for his milk? then keep checking him oso.. think we make ourselves too tired.
Sweethalo, now i seldom latch and only pump 4 times per day. Used to be 5-6 times per day cos now getting ready to go back to work intend to stop soon as well
1) Is milk supply maintained or do you notice drop in supply?
DROP definitely but a little drop only like 50ml?Not too concerned as i get more sleep
2) Is it true as per Baby Whisperer book that supply will dry up without latching?
this one i not sure.. i have been mostly on pumping since Day 1, initially from 40ml both sides, now got 120ml both sides if i have enough rest.
3) Can supply be maintained with pumping regularly?
i take fenugreek at the same time
4) Does pumping regularly help increase supply? CONFIRM! but i have a colleague who breastfed for 1 year, she pumps in the day then latch at night to maintain supply
