weishy, can try a few things to increase milk ss, including fenugreek tablets, nursing tea from moms in mind, aside from the papaya soup. Milo also helps.... this is the best: my ang moh friend is taking non alcoholi beer to boost her supply ha ha... the malt inside the beer is supposed to do the trick.

the last time i was at tmc, they included a J&J top to toe wash. No need to rinse type. Just mix with warm water. The first day, the nurse even washed me up. They also included a small towel for us to use.

heard from a Jul mommy abt a plant called katuk. Can get at wet mkts and Giant supermarket. Just boil the leaves and drink the water. Apparently, her milk supply went up so much after taking it, it can shoot across the room if squeeze her breast.
This plant is apparently widely used in Indonesia & Vietnam to increase milk supply.

the only thing in my mind now is - dont go out too far away from home from week 38 onward! so that i can take a nice bath and wash my hair before heading to hospital!! i think i will cry and kenna postnatal blues if anyone stop me from washing my hair or showering or on aircon. so torturing...
you tried the nursing tea from moms in mind and it doesnt work? i bought 2 trial pack recently along with red raspberry tea.

Your family is so good! Sometimes I was wondering, if my pregnancy is complicated like some mommies out there, i will definately be in a big mess! Sometimes I told my hubby about those stories and my hubby will be like "oh oh" and dont show any sympathy at all, makes me real mad! Luckily that my pregnancy is a breeze.
mashy
which store in wet market sells katuk? those that sells veggie? or malay store? must ask hubby go and buy to try if supply is low! but very scary that milk can shoot across the room if squeeze her breast! Sounds like there will be a lots of milk leaking = waste breast pads.

she tried it for her #1 preg and recommended it. Her Indo helper went to mkt to buy for her. I did a search online and saw a Aug 08 mummy from this forum who took it in a capsule (apparently they have it in capsule too!) and she also said it helped her increase her milk supply. It is a spinach like vege.
This is how it looks like:

=( I dont even know how spinach looks like when it was uncooked. btw, does red date logan tea helps also? I wonder why is it that we must only drink red date logan tea as normal water during confinement.
i wonder if my CL knows how to cook papaya fish soup.
Let me know when the Aug 08 mommy reply. =)

I washed my hair immediately.
As my gynae advised.
For hygiene purposes.
And especially I direct latched.
But I make sure I used hair dryer after that.
Weishy
Can try massage too. It does help to increase milk flow.
And each time after breastfeeding, drink lots of red dates.
Epi
I did not have epi for my 1st.
Decided to have it this time round.
Don't want to suffer again.... haha!

I had very bad migraine history.
And surprisely after giving birth at age 26, my migraine was GONE!
I ate lots of red meat during confinement period, maybe it helped?

Reira, you tell the nurse/gynae you cannot feel a thing and ask them to turn the epi lower. Then you will be able to feel slight contraction and you got feeling down there.
Initially mine was so numb and I just anyhow push till whole face red also no use.
And although I am not young when I had my 1st one, I didn't have any headache/dizziness. I wash my hair and bathe the next morning in hosp. And I also wash my hair and bathe daily when I was doing confinment. No bodyache or whatever eventhough I just use cold tap water.

For the 1st 2 mths, I did not have sufficient milk flow too.
But I was very determined to breastfeed her.
The more I let her latch (as pump did not work for me..... maybe too stressed, cannot relax while I pumped), then the milk flow started.
And I continued to breastfeed till she was 30mths old.

I continue to sleep in air-con room during confinement period.
And my grandma was the one who encouraged.
Said we are living in Spore (my daughter was born in June... super hot weather in SG), not in China during cold weather.
My grandma has 8 children, and she followed the traditional confinement methods, but in the end she still suffer from this "ache" that "ache.
So she advised me to enjoy life at the present, then to worry what might not happen in the future.

ai yah, my boy was lazy then, didn't wanna suck. Just keeping my options open now just in case. If milk supply isn't good, what's my next step. I took fenugreek last time, didn't work for me. Since this lady introduced this katuk thing, i thot can try. I was also prob very stressed at that time, but super pissed with my ILs so milk supply dwindled. I was a very diligent mommy (kept feeding thru round the clock) but he was a lazy bb.

Talking about ILs.
Iya, during that 1st two months when I had insufficent milk flow, and each time my girl felt hungry, mil stood by a bottle of milk formula powder.
Then asked me to feed her that.
But I just ignored her.
Thank God I have a supportive hubby.... keke!

Micky, yes lor...I think when you reach old age hor, sure aches everywhere one.
Even my kiasi MIL whom I believes must have followed all the confinment rules is having all kind of aches now. You can see alot of salon pas on her.
So hor...I think it has something to do with old age and how we keep ourselves healthy when we are older.

My fil is very healthy.
He is already 70yrs old.
And his advise is to drink lots of milk/soya bean.
To have enough calcium, so that we can avoid less "ache"

Mashy, I think alot of people know what is money cai leh. My mum's neighbour will use the money cai to cook with mee hoon kuey. I think there is one hawker in the west side of singapore sells this famous mee hoon kuey with money cai.
I think should be able to find the money cai at wet market. But not sure if its seasonal or not.
