Not true leh. My gal is 2 wks early. cannot even wait for the c-sect date we chose which was just 3 days away. BB can stay inside the womb up to 2wks past EDD. Think the more we want them to come out, they dun come out. N when we want them to wait, they dun wait...

So good... my boy will sit down n watch me feed baby. He knows mei mei wants to drink milk. but his buttocks sharp one. sit for a while only, then start wandering around already.
Managing between latching and pumping is not easy. Needs a lot of support from family.

My routine now (without #1 around) rather simple (thank God for this & hopes it stays this way):
7-8am. Feed, make her awake, sun tan her while i prepare to bathe her. Play a while and let her go back to sleep.
Her interval between each feed is usually abt 3hrs. Once she wakes up, definitely needs to be fed. Then either she falls asleep or she stays awake after burping. If she stays awake, will leave her on the bed or rocker to play. After about half an hr, will feel sleepy n she wants to latch again. Initially, i'll latch her but realised she's only comfort sucking herself to sleep. Now i'm trying to cut down her this n patting/cuddling her to sleep instead.
This whole cycle repeats every 3hr. In between I'll either bathe, have lunch/dinner, surf the net, sleep, or do some reading.
Hopes she can follow Tracy Hogg's EASY routine. Now trying to see if can let her sleep thru the night asap.
After confinement, i'm sure my daily routine will change cos got to handle my #1 as well.
Different babies behave differently. When i had #1,i never had such a simple routine. He was totally a opp baby. Cries n cries all the time. No time for myself at all. So this time, i'm really blessed n thankful for a less difficult baby. Just that maybe later will not be as free as before.

Mine was GA c-sect.
Can bf baby after c-sect when return to ward. But i didn't do it as I was rather in pain. Ony manage to bf on her 2nd feed. I did bf #1 for his first feed when had epi c-sect the other time.
I dun think they use morphine. if so, they dun allow to bf already.
