btw, kiki, it's a place where dignity is left at the door. the room where they help u has chairs all around and various women with their breasts completely exposed. some r trying out breast pumps, some r being repositioned with their babies etc. i wore a nursing top so i felt less exposed.
the LC made me used one of those Brest Friend pillows so that my baby was at the correct height.
for a short consultation (abt 20 mins), i paid $25 + GST. u may want to consider getting an LC to make a housecall, cos they'll come for 1 hour and it's $120 i think.

Vaccination:
I noticed that some of you mentioned that there is 6 in 1 vaccinations at the polyclinic - which one is it? I went to the one at IOH, next to SGH and they only have 5 in 1.
Jul:
I was told by my sis that u can try out the medela pumps ( including PIS) at J&E at Toh Guan Road. Think have to call them in advance for appt. She did that before deciding on purchase of a breast pump. If u want to, u can try that to convince yourself if you really need to buy the PISA.

your handsfree bra looks pretty good.
Happi:
You may want to try to get someone other than yourself to bottlefeed your baby - I notice that my baby fusses a little less when someone else bottle feeds her. I tried different teats too - a few different pigeon ones, Avent, Nuk. Currently, Nuk seems to give the least problems. She used to enjoy sucking on the pigeon ones when she was younger but dislikes it now for some unknown reason.

J&E is the company which imports Medela into Singapore. http://www.medela.com/ISBD/gen/contact.php?country=8
My sis tried the pumps at their Toh Guan Road office about 2 years ago. Not sure if they still have this service but u can try to ask them esp if u already have a pre-existing pump and getting the PISA ( which is not cheap) is optional, IMHO.

lucky3, mine was c-section under GA so husband not allowed inside. i think c-section with epidural, husbands are allowed in.
regarding wind n gas... i tried letting the baby spend some time on her stomach. sometimes she starts fussing and it's not really her hungry time yet, i flip her over to her stomach and she will start farting and farting...
i know the books say we shouldn't let them sleep on their stomachs, but when i do that, i watch her closely. also it helps that now she can lift up her head and change direction, she won't get stuck with her nose against the bed.
i find that when i feed her after she has had some tummy time, she regurgitates less.

Hi ladies
<font color="0000ff">SunshineG</font>, nice meeting you at B. Garden, bb Claire is so sweet.
<font color="0000ff">bbmaking & Weishy</font>, we can meet another time.
<font color="0000ff">pink</font>, I heard that fenugreek has to be taken with milk thistle to be really effective. Personally, fenugreek does not work for me. I find drinking papaya fish soup (for a week - morning teabreak, lunch and dinner piping-hot, is more effective.) MIM nursing tea has fenugreek & milk thistle in it if I am not wrong.
<font color="0000ff">Jul</font>, try looking into this website, www.galactagogue.com. Gotten some info from today's parents - Everything will flow: Another herbs that helps to improves quality and quantity is Shatavari. There are more on the articles.

sharon, i don't think infants need pillows. sometimes i prop my baby up on a pillow, but she tends to roll off after a while.
my mum says they don't need one until they know how to sit up at least, then their necks are stronger and they can handle it. but i think this is one of those issues where every mum might have a different opinion...

Pegsfer,
Was told to only start trimming baby's nails when they are 6 weeks coz the nails are still soft. May accidently rip the nail out. Oh and do it when they are asleep coz less fidgiting.
Lucky3,
I did c-section w epidural and hubby was allowed inside. But we didnt request for him to cut the chord.
Re vacinnation:
Brought my baby to the polyclinic for her Hep B jab. She only cried very loudly for a short while and stopped. Brave girl!
Yen,
I brought my girl to Toa Payoh polyclinic and they have both 5 in one and 6 in one.
Reira,
what you described in your breasts is the let own effect right? Mine also has tinggling feeling when its time for feeling and when my breast are very full in the middle of the night.

re:CDA account

pris
how was yr botanical garden trip? sorry i had to miss it, Zac was cranky since 9pm last night when we got back. i was super tired!
i left him at MIL's place yesterday & the maid sarong-ed him and he got the hang of it, today refuse to be put down in the cot AT ALL, end up i got to carry him from 7am till just now...now i am just tired tired tired. can't wait for hubby to get back, so that i can dump Zac to him.
How do i get him out of the habit of being sarong/carried? am thinking that if this continues, i'm so going to suffer from today onwards.
Regg
I took domperidom as well, no side effects for me but it doesn't work for me either. the doc prescibed a 10 day course, taking 1 tabs 3 times day fr 5 days, and then twice daily for the remaining 5 days.
Jul

reira

I also took domperidom...BB making, we are the same boat, we tried almost everything. Now i still dun want to give up, ordering the Home on Earth, more milk plus... now still 40 - 50ml for both sides. LC asked me to take 2 tabs, 3 times daily. But i got side effect like headache but LC said might be becos i lack of sleep. so not sure.
