Paiseh, went away for so long!! today was a busy day thanks to my breasts problems. just now something amazing happened.
Zachary was exactly 7 days 23 hrs old old and he said "ah3 ma2" twice! I thought I heard wrongly when I hear him saying that but CL told me a few mins ago, he said it infront of MIL & CL when CL telling him to wait for me to wake up from my nap. My MIL heard it and comment that he is so young and already can call his mommy
breasts problems again
i am so exhausted today. all my time was spent dealing with my breasts... i am having weird pain on the side of my breasts. no matter how i empty them, the pain will come back in an hr time. my CL told me that the friend who recommend her to me also have the same problem then she got breasts massage from Mdm Rokiah. I've booked an appointment with her and hopefully she can really help with my veins problem cos it is so painful!!! i was crying when i told Mdm Rokiah my problem when she asked if I got no milk thats why needs her service. Tomorrow I will check with her if her massage can really solve the problems of low milk supply but i think it can helps with slow flow by getting rid of the milk duct. anyone from our thread used her service before to increase milk supply?

My CL's recipe for longan red date tea.
1 small bowl of red date
3 spoonful of longan
6 - 7 black date
2 pieces of dang sheng
1 piece of bei3 qi2
a bit of ji4 zhi3
Also, she made black bean soup for me to drink. yesterday i drank dang gui soup too but i asked her i read from here that we are not suppose to eat dang gui cos will make our blood flow a lot and gets fainting spell. she explained to me can just use a bit of dang gui not a lot. it will help us to "bu" blood but will not cause heavy flow if use the correct amount.

dont need to put the breast shields and membrane in sterilizer, will cause it to go out of shape and u will have to buy new one. actually kids really dont need to sterile everything until so clean de lah... if not we have to sterile our nipples before feeding meh? hehe so if u think that washing with warm soapy water is not enough, use hot water and pour on them.

Re: hot compress
you can try Naforye Donut Relief Pack. i got it from this site for $10.40 over the weekend.
http://babyhub-online.com/products-page/bath/naforye-donut-relief-pack-1-pair/ Works good but problem is very small, it can only cover half my breasts. =( so sometimes i put it in the middle of my breasts, since it got a hole in the middle, it wont hurt my nipples. sometimes i use it to put on the left or right side of my breast. how i wish it got size de. i am tempting to buy 2 more pairs so that it can cover my whole breasts.
