I'm feeding Ovann 150-170ml every 2 to 3 hrly.
jul
Ovann sleeps on his back and he gets startled easily too, but i'm not quite comfortable with him sleeping on his tummy so i just place the mini beansprout pillow and a heavier blanket over his chest and hands. I tried putting him on his tummy but he gets agitated trying to lift up his head but has not much strength yet. Then his face end up slamming down on the mattress. Silly boy.

Hahaha. ... no .. have not order the catering yet .. i keep putting it off .. lazy me lah. Will try to call them tml
Oh, i kinda figured that Ovann takes after both hubby and me since we were considered 'small built' since young. That prob explains why he's still wearing newborn size.
Lopsided boobs
I think mine too ... but hubby has no chance to really see them yet. Dat day he suddenly wants sex so it's a first time for us since i got preggy. I wasn't prepared and when he lift up my shirt, he was sort of surprised to find me wearing an ugly fugly nursing bra. So not sexy lor ....

By the way, so far nw i'll pump 3times a day & latch on 2 times in the noon..if i pump out usually got 120ml or more if more than 4hrs interval.
My gal taking 120ml every 3hrs & she's coming to 10wks old. hw shd i increase my supply like 150ml? by latch her as often as possible? or pump longer will helps? cos i gng back to work on 2nd Nov so wun hv time to latch her.

Any breastfeeding full time working mothers?
Are there any preparations required ( eg weaning to bottlefeeding etc) before going back to work? Do you reduce frequency of expressing BM/ BF and if so, are there methods to avoid decreasing supply?
ktmum,
you can email her - she replies quite promptly. She says that she has stock coming in late Oct but not sure if she has any in stock.

you still need the lansinoh bags? am selling off mine cos 101% confirmed my boi dun drink frozen ebm! he'll drink a bit, and once it turns yellow he'll refuse to drink anymore! Even if i give him fresh ones!!
$16 per pack of 50s including postage if anyone wants them!! $8 including postage for a box of blue egg milk bags! If you live nearby i'll deliver it for free! Kinda depressing looking at them since i won't be freezing anymore! Wasted so much money on the freezer and the bags!!!!

dunno also leh! was thinking of giving up bfing also..but kinda wasted since already spend so much on the pump! wanted to 'utilise' it fully! must use at least 6 months lor, or at least until he takes solids! milk powder so expensive also!
Now trying to time my pumping schedule (6am, 12pm, 6pm, 12am) so that when i go back work only need to pump during lunch time in the office..otherwise where got time to pump! Think have to hide in toilet to pump somemore...not very hygienic right?

Now I only latch bb on at night coz he's not very efficient, he'll suckle to sleep, then when put him down, after about 1hr he'll remember he's hungry and up again. So I just pump in the day and bottle feed. The problem is findin the right teat for him! Been looking for NUK but can't find. Where are they sold?

my ex-colleague told me that her shoes size went up 1 size and didnt return to original size. her 2nd kid is 6yrs old le.

wah. $16 a peck of 50s? can sell to me if u havent sold it?
what do you mean by once it turns yellow, he will refuse to drink? how many days have u tried the frozen ebm? maybe let him taste it throughout the day for a few days. he might get used to it. but ofcourse have to waste a lots of thawed milk since we store in bag. really wasted if u stop breastfeeding cos ur supply is great! i am currently dropping a few drops of plain water in Zachary's mouth throughout the day so that he might get used to water.
i also love mustela physiObebe no-rinse. but i use it during diaper change before bath on face and butt. also use it to clean his butt if he poo a lot. so far he is 10 weeks old and almost finish the 1st bottle.
