Hai, thanks for the reply from mummies weishy, Jul_in_week33, Jules, Reira and Mashy. Really appreciate. Actually I had a manual Avent breast pump for my 1st baby. Now thinking to get an electrical one to reduce tireness.
Do you all wash the pump each time after used? Previously i used to wash it after each pumping, but i heard from my friend can put into a ziplock bag and store in fridge, only wash at the end of the day. Any mums practise this? After delivery, i will become full time mom at home, so will try to pump each time after my baby latching to stimulate the prodcution of breast milk, in this case i will need to pump quite often. So thinking any way to save some times for washing the pump. Any advices from the experienced moms here? Thanks.

My CL washes and sterilises it after every pump. Oh lucky me!
pink
most basic is morn first pump and night before u sleep. Coz if not, you'll get very clogged up esp if your bb sleeps longer thru the night. The rest u can just fill it up as and when.

true that colostrum will only line the pump and bottle. but the lady from my gynae's clinic told me, pump can help to stimulate breast wor. so will help milk to come in or something. i think i will just pump after feeding to let my breasts think need more supply bah.
now a days i only drink coffee like once a week lah. actually sweet stuffs i eat often leh. haiz... i am back to the pre-preggie self - like to snack. T_T dont dare to weigh myself anymore.
mashy
i thought warm towel/water to massage is to get more milk? cold towel then will relieve engorgement? or is it the other way? @_@ confused.
oh wow. $417.30! did Dr Ong said Hayley's jaundice will go away after the 3 days? I know that hospital stay will definately be more expensive and we cant see baby! wed will be the day when you need to return the pep bed right? do they come to ur place to retrieve it or u need to go down and return?
yeah, my friend told me i will need to put baby in pep bed all the time cept feeding, changing diaper. does she cry when you on air-con?
piggytoh
everyday i've been drinking tea! well, red raspberry tea but taste like green tea. altho no caffaine but now i a bit sian of the taste liao. drinking 3 cups a day now.
pinkmama
hehe so excited! i havent learn how to use the pump & the handsfree kit. roughly know which button to press but i donno when need to increase suction. will you be using full blast?

reira: dont make zac absorb lesser now lah.. who knows what other side effects there may be... his organs all this all developing now leh, dont play play wor.
i think u pump out no point leh.. cos colostrum very little, as jules say, maybe when u invert the bottle to feed him, may be the amount only enough to coat the bottle's inside...
jules: oh, thats good... try lying on ur left side too whenever u can..
mashy: then 1st day no milk, then baby feed on what?

Warm towel/water to massage is to clear clogged ducts and relieve the pain during engorgement. U can then massage the lumps out. Cold towel will relieve pain but it doesn't solve the prob of clogged ducts and rock like breasts.
No guarantee, but it's supposed to at least help reduce it. They do delivery and collection. On wed, if dr says need more phototherapy, just need to call them to extend. It's $100 per day for extension.
No, she didn't cry at all.

Hi ladies
Long time not being in here.
My birth story:
1. Waterbag burst at 5.30pm on 12 Jul 2009. Can't decide whether I could not control urine or water bag, so after trying kegel exercise, still leaking, decided to head to hospital.
2. No contraction at all even when I was heading to hospital. When to labour ward to let the nurse check, confirm waterbag burst. Done CTG, I was dilating slowly but contractions were very mild,
3. Give my suppository to clear my bowel at 7pm and dh went to admit me.
4. About 8pm, the nurses (or midwives) confirmed with me whether I want epidural. I requested for it as I could heard screaming and shouting along the way to delivery suite at TMC and also gynae, nurses and midwives giving instruction to push,
5. About 8.20pm, anaethsiologist came to administrate the epidural and giving me sodium chloride drip to prevent low bp. I had very mild and small amount of epidural. Nurse Adeline and Imee were with me in the suite while dh went to get a bit. They were telling me jokes throughout.
6. I was dilated about 8cm at 9pm but contraction was still mild and dh was surprised to hear jokes in delivery suite.
7. At 11pm, I was almost fully dilated and contractions were more regular and Dr Wong came. Was told that the membrane that surrounded baby Ray was thick so was told to push it out.
8. At 11.25pm, Dr Wong was telling me and dh, he could see baby's head and it is full of hair. Dr Wong asked dh to take a look.
9. I could feel the contractions but no pain and Dr Wong instructed me to follow my contraction to push. In between, Dr Wong and the nurses continue telling jokes. 3 pushes and Ray arrived into the world through nature vaginal birth. Dh told me, Ray just slided out easily at 11.46pm on 12 Jul 2009.
Overall, a very pleasant birth experience at TMC. Dh commented that it is the 1st time that lots of laughters and jokes been told in delivery suite instead of screaming and crying, I did not even use much of the dosage of epidural given (less than 10%). By 3pm, I was able to walk to the toilet with help and pee.
Thanks Baby S for informing everyone here.

Mashy, nice meeting you. Ray is doing well, though he has a little jaundice, Dr Ong said just to sun him daily before 11pm and after 5pm for 15 minutes on the front and back.
I am feeding on demand and bm came in on 3rd day and demand feeding and pumping is increasing bm. Ray is fully on bm now.

Re: Learning pts on bf
Mashy, you mention Drink lots of fluids. I realise that on days when i drink more soup, water(whichever form), i get more milk.
>> do you mean any type of fluids? or water? Cos I thought during confinement we cannot take water as it will cause water retension and we should drink red dates tea instead? Red dates tea considered?
