BBEthan, u v fortunate to have your mom take care of you!
HBB, guess I have to resort to every 1.5-2hrly pump to try stimulate more production lor, cos I started taking on Mon, guess that's why my supply also went down.. but I have not taken any yoghurt or cheese since start of confinement cos CL say cannot take cold food.. I only hv little milk if I have Milo or oatmeal, so needed that extra calcium..

My MLMP tabs arrived today and I have just taken one. Hope it works though today I succumbed and open the standby tin of Friso.
The show I caught this afternoon was hilarious! Worth going through the horrid NDP traffic for it. Strongly recommended for the highly-strung. In fact, right after the show, I went to buy tickets for a couple more shows coming up, one is The Hossan Leong show and the other is Broadway Beng
<font color="ff0000">Sunsweet</font>
I did the dim sum buffet at Tung Lok - $19.80++ per adult. Food is very good, service too. 11.30am to 2pm. For 140 guests, I suggest you book early...I could not get a private room coz i didn't. So we were in a section that is within the main area where the public is.

You asked the same question Sunsweet asked regarding the photogrpahy BP - if it is cheaper for 2 kids from 1 Mom, and I have asked the same question but have not got any answer yet. Will keep you posted.
Good night, all, enjoy your Sunday...

About 110ml every 4-hourly or almost 90ml every 3-hourly. My darling needs about 120ml every feed and timing varies. Yesterday evening, I tried feeding him alternate breasts for a couple of hours but he was still not satisfied so I gave him a friend's BM before he settled down. It was super tiring. Plus it is really quite inevitable, with me going back to work in 16 days time.

Heat rashes
Does your bb have alot of heat rashes? (acne look alike) My boi has quite a bit on his face. used Annie's method of 金银花 once, tink it's slightly better. going to go for another day. However, to my horror, his neck, both in front and behind grow A LOT of these white bumps since yday. my heart aches at the sight of it.
care to share how u dress him during the day and night, and do you put your bb in an air-con room? my mom believes that bb only scare of getting cold with wind in his stomach. heat is not a prob. thus my bb is always in a snuggle blanket w/o air-con.

pprincess,
imo cuddling, sing song, talk to bb is ok to give bb a sense of security. My bb experience nightmare kinda of situation, and i will just carry/hug and let him listen to my voice and heartbeat. Just like if we are afraid or have nightmare, we hope to receive some comfort.

Bell, how old is ur bb? How u swaddle him? all the way to neck like we were taught in hosp? I imagine ur bb wz blanket swaddled all the way to neck in non air-con room in S'pore weather... too hot lah!
Kaelem is in his 3rd wk now but we no longer swaddle him the hosp way since 2nd wk. In the day, we dress him in short sleeves onesies, use nappy cloth to swaddle around his waist. Some times swaddle wz 1 arm inside at armpit level, some times both arms also armpit level, but never to the neck (my LC even taught me to swaddle him wz nappy cloth covering the head). In the night, we add a long pants over the onsies before swaddling.

i usually do all the tings when he's not around. afterall im usually home alone! hahas! but also not much energy to do that. wad i love best is to lie him on my chest and we both ZzzZ tog!
to me making him lie on my chest, listening to my heart beat is like him still inside my tummy. but my dad's logic is, he will get use to our body heat and wan us to do this to him everi single time.
olden people and now realli different huh.

Bell, seems like u r indeed doing same s us (puzzled), may be u can call the doc to check if there is a need to bring him to the doc. else, gotta work harder on the 金银花 thingy or how abt just wiping wz cooled boiled water? c if it'll help. Oh, make sure if no a/c then at least the room is well ventilated.

Re: Fast Letdown and Spit Out
Anyone's baby having problem with fast letdown when latched on? My gal has been having this problem lately, she wld gag and choke, then pull away trying to catch her breath and cry
As she would swallow more gas when dealing with the fast letdown, she had also thrown out a few times (sometimes would come out thru nose also). I had offered bottle of ebm after that, but she won't take it... I'm worried that she's not getting enough now, cos she would shun the breast after choking. I was advised by lactation consultants to hand express into towel (not pump) when she pulls away, and also do block nursing (feed on 1 side within 3 hr span then switch). Wondering how this would affect the ss? Any advice?
I hv stopped taking the fenugreek supplement, cos I think while it helped to increase my supply, it also caused the "fast and furious" letdown...

hey HBB!
care to share what dishes u ordered from Mum's Kitchen?

Etirto,
I stopped my massage seesion yesterday liao after 5 session cos mdm sadia said I seem to have some red rash... So she told me to go get a binder to help reduce tummy further
Noelle,
I have fast and furious let down too. I sometimes so engorged at nite I would just go to the sink and press out foremilk cos need to save some molk for baby latching.
Could it be possible baby don't want bottle cos dun like the teat? Maybe can try other brand teat? I know nuk teats are pretty highly recommended.
HBB,
I OD on MLMMP tablets during the 3-5th day after delivery. Even though it says for 175pound above then take 2 tablets, I also just whack. Then not enough milk for baby, I got pretty upset, took 2 tablets twice through the nite, at nite drink some organic tea supposed to helped in milk supply....
Now a bit regret cos always engorge.... Not boasting here. I tried 'hand-pressing' milk out into sink to relief the engorgement... left side can see 5 'streams' squirting away, right side 4 'streams'. Each side can pump 110ml..... Now still too early to build up milk store for when I go back to work.... Don't know what to do with all the milk.. Can slightly understand why Gina felt so miserable with her super-active milk production
I think I posted too much personal stuff here... suspect my real identity been found out by someone I do not want to reveal too much too... So need to censor what I post from now on

Hi Bell,
My girl has the same prob as yr baby on her neck last week.
I feel she was too hot in the afternoon.
So, i put her in an aircon room in the late afternoon (4pm-7pm). My CL gives her a quick shower at 7pm. after 2 days, the spots are gone.
Hope it works for your baby.

BF
i'm still having doubts abt bf. it took me 1 hour to bf 1 bb today, and after that she still drank 60 ml from bottle. total time is 1.5 hours. i'm still sticking to bf at least once a day cos hope can help with the bonding thing. but seriously, how do i know if i;m bonding cos bb frustrated she cant get enuff milk and me worried she not drinking enuff ? ?
lamagier - how abt freezing your ebm ? can keep a few months.
kim, hbb - i also hoped to set up routine for my twins, read the gina ford book on twins. doesnt work at all, unless you totally ignore 1 twin's crying in order to set up routine. so right now i'm still doing things ad hoc, as and when they happen. CL going back this wkend.... oh........ noooooo.............

Bestberries, today my boy's feeding time also not regular, 2.5 hrs and 2hrs.. good thing CL din insist on the 3hrly feed anymore. That's y I am asking most moms they typical day, cos when my CL leaves on 12th, I dunno if I will be ok..
I only latch Kaelem once today cos he was cranky and showing the "suck suck" motion thou his feed time should be another 1 hr to go, so heart pain.. Today, I express more frequently.

how do u girls manage to nurse discreetly with the nursing wear? I find myself clumsy when trying to get the boobs out for baby to latch on. end up always exposing myself. so now, i use a nursing wrap instead. can still wear back normal tops, just that more difficult to unhook the bra when nursing.
just now, my girl made me nurse her on the bus. she was screaming all the way cos already sleepy n want to root. whole bus was looking at us. no choice but to put on my nursing wrap n feed her. when i alight, can see a lot of eyes following us down.
