Reira, i received ur mail. Thanks for updating.
jasmine, when the supply is established, there should be enough to meet baby's demand. But have to work hard to establish the supply in the 1st month. I was latching direct 8-10 times a day the 1st 2 months. So when I turned to pumping, the supply was already there.
Why you want your hb to drink BM? Think better to save all that liquid gold for your baby

During the earlier stages of bf, I thought my EBM turned bad coz it smells funny. Hahaha. Actually threw it away. So wasted. Later than found out frozen EBM will smell like that.

i just scared i kenna a lazy bb like C. He didn't even bother sucking. So have to pump to complement the latching. I was latching all the time with C, but he's just too lazy to suck and didn't bother crying for milk. sigh.
celine
nowhere actually. I kept asking him wanna go out to cycle, wanna go library. He refused. Preferred to stay at home to read books and play ball. His timing is very fixed, so can only go in the morn till lunch. He will take a nap for 3hrs. In the evening, his daddy will be back, so unless we go out to meet him, else difficult to bring him out too.
I don't dare bring him to marina barrage now coz heard there's a pool there. Don't think i wanna chase after him in water.
And he doesn't like the zoo. Weird boy. He prefers Underwater World but it's so crowded.

I went to Mrs Wong initially at 2mths and she told me to give up, said i can bf again for my next bb.
i went to Yen Leng from KKH at 3mths to help me. By then, already too late to train him. I needed to express my milk. At least she was positive and taught me how to express manually, clear my ducts and increase my milk flow. Altho i didn't manage to bf him totally, but my bm increased gradually and i was still able to partially bf him till 8mths when i started work.

mine is easy to handle at home. but once outside, he's a wild kid. Run all over the place.
At home i've to think of games to play with him and activities to do. TOday we used the spoon to carry his little balls from 1 basket to the other. So tiring for me. But he enjoyed it very much.

oh yes. Definitely tried my best. It was tough expressing the milk day in day out, and manually somemore. But managed to persevere till i started working. So very happy already. Altho i wish i could have bf him longer, but i guess that was the best i could go for him then. Now for this #2, I hope that i can bf longer now that i'm more experienced and knows what to do.

i don't allow my boy to play handheld game. I think it's very anti-social. He will also jump up and down and run abt, but at least at home, it's a controlled environment so i feel safer and just let him be so long as it's not too wild.
mich
can't wait for that to happen. just hope they don't fight too much.

smurfy,
we went birdpark b4 nothing much leh the most intersting part will be the bird shows and the open area where the birds are free to land on you which freak me out coz too many! haha..
mashy,
i not too worry about my boy anti social coz he is too talkative and sociable so now i am training him to calm down and increase concentration. Anyone got any activities to share besides fixing puzzles?
re: BM
dun worry about too much milk, the prob that comes with it is just part and parcel of the process. I have plenty of engorgement and a severe mastitis but i think all worthwhile to persist.
re: latching
i failed in latching too, i hope this round i can latch on... but dunno my nipples ok or not leh.

hort park is a great place to go too. The playground is fantastic. my boy loves it there.
And my boy loves Ikea Tampines. Hahah. He loves to go there to climb the furniture, open and close the cupboards/drawers.

hey, same as my boy! 05 or 06 kid?
I got those worksheets for him to do. Like trace the lines, mazes, colouring etc coz his fine motor skill is very weak.
For my boy, if he loves to do something, he can do it the whole day. can u imagine he can play with his trains whole day? When he wakes up from his nap, first thing he goes to is his trains. Now a bit better already. At least he'll play other stuff.
