babiesmeme, having #2... i've done some reading on this and the ideal gap depends on the reason you had a c-section. so everyone might be different, and it's best to check with your gynae.

for a planned c-section, it's about 6 months generally. for some emergency c-sections, the cut is bigger and might have to wait 1 year. also if u have some other conditions like gestational diabetes or pre-eclampsia, these will affect ideal timing also i think.
 
Oh sunshine mine is emergency c section cos I suposed to be induced and goes natural but baby cannot wait so got to do emergency c section
 
Ladies help! This morn woke up and thought that my breast was feeling full, in the end its because I was having blocked ducts, or I think so... Can feel very hard lumps surrounding the breast. Tried hot compress, hot bath, expressing to clear and massge but cant seem to 'disperse' the block ducts. What should I do?

And whats more the breast feels so hard, cant tell if breast is full or the effects from the block ducts.

Its so painful! Massage until want to cry!!! Will it suside by itself or need to do anything else?

If dont get better by tomorrow, plan to go to TMC and see the lactation consultants for help.
 
baby ja
the porridge i give to my boy is like your picture de lor.. i dun blend de, cuz blend liao it's like err sweet potato puree like that, thought it is good to have some texture so to train them how to chew and swallow..
 
joia,
let Sophie latch? Read somewhere dats its e best way to clear

baby ja,
which brand of slow cooker u using? I wanna get one too

re: porridge
today i let my boy try porridge..i juz use normal pot cook n feed
he seems ok with it..so dun need blend?
 
babyja.
ya happy to catch tt but it means dangerous also.... cat ground him in his playpen anymore..haha..

Weishy,
sigh ever since Kyler can stand by himself alr headache liao the moment i put him in his bed he will attempt to stand n walk.. i was monitorin him seems like he not tryin to sit up but stand up maybe no strength so end up sit only lol....
 
babyja~yup me too usually hv to blend afterwards...cos not "nua" enough le....

lucas gt no tooth yet ma cant chew.

ladies~if gt free trail which date would u guys prefer?28th march oki?
 
Piggy: where to get this organix apple rice cake? My boi took the toothipegs bellamy it's so super hard and I put in water and let him try think he too greedy and gets choke give us s fright quickly give him apple juice blur mother!
 
joia,
I'm from the july thread. Think you may have mastitis. Check if your breast that's hurting is looking red or not (inflamation). If got fever, go see doc for anti-biotics to clear.

I went to TMC parent craft & they say apply hot towel and massage till clot clear, but more painful than giving birth.... Massage & latch didn't clear the clot for me. One of the July mothr taught me to get san1 zha1 (hawthorn slices)& mai4 ya1 (malt grains), boil & drink. Clot cleared within 1.5 days
 
Hi Sharon try aerogaz slow cooker only 12.90 at carrefour I try today within two hours it's quite soft already I put carrot abd potatoes too my boi finish all the porridge

weishy, i'm in for the gathering too!

joia, I've had the same situation twice already, coupled with fever etc. No choice but to latch/pump as much as possible. Go see the GP if dun get well for antibiotics. Usually it will clear within 2 days or so.

em.. i dint really spent alot of time on the porridge, i used ikan bilis to boil, then use the water to boil the rice..add in "bar chor" for the taste and some veg...he likes it.
 
Hi Sharon,

I was about to ask the same question.
My girl has been refused to drink milk since Friday, she used to drink 210ml every 4 hours with 1 rice cereal. My nanny call me on Friday (i was at work) saying she refuse milk, her last feed was the night before at 9pm, and she has not drink milk till 11am where i get urgent leave and rush to my nanny house. From then, she has quite reluctant to drink milk, only about 100ml every 4 to 5 hourly (by force).

Should i be concerned?
 
Morning mummies.

Hi MELim, Sharon,
My girl has been drinking very little too, about 60 ml every 3 hours , by force. She took her 3rd 6-in-1 jab on 13 March and has developed fever, cough, running nose. Last friday, i brought her to PD, PD said it's common cold as there wasn't any fever. But she's lost weight. She kept coughin and vomitting milk. Took cough mixture, rhinathiol, also no use.
She can't take flu medicine as it causes palpitations. I just ask my Nanny to keep giving her warm water to soothe her lungs.
 
weishy
Hahaha ... ya, at least no need to 'see fire' now

Mmm ... the gathering is a sat again ah .. looks like i have to give it a miss.

I bought the thermal cooker from BHC (or was it BCH?) $39 for 1.8L cooker. I think Mashy mentioned isetan selling cheaper. U might wanna go & check.

piggy
Oh, can put in ziplock bag hor .. silly me, never think of it
happy.gif
The other day i gave him rusk biscuit but because it breaks off easily cos it's abit soft, ovann almost kena choked when he gum off a big pc. He literally grasp for air and he's face turned red! Scared the hell out of me.
 
I also suspect my girl is lactose intolerant. She can't take Stage 2 Similac, will cause loose stools. PD told me to stick to Stage 1 Similac until 1yo.
 
Pegsfur,
tt day my MIL gave him a teethin biscuit same thing happen also.. but this rice cake quite ok wor cos it round they wun be able to gum off too much n he seem to like it more impt unlike teethin biscuit less messy

gathering
sigh..... i can't make it for the gathering again. 3rd april i've to attend an event in church. so far i haven't been able to attend any of the gatherings.
sad.gif
 
last time my boy can drink 200ml for his nite feed. now he only drink 100+ml den push away. i need feed him 30mins apart to make him finish max 180ml
 
rejecting milk
mummies... when ur babies are 6-8mths old, is food tasting period.. milk should still be the primary food intake for ur baby.. u shld cut down on solids if they dun wanna drink milk..

but 8-9mths onwards... solids should be more important as milk alone is not able to provide enough nutrients to the growing baby.. and u should instead make sure they have wide variety of foods for them.. milk intake can be reduced to 3 times? morning, afternoon n evenings.

i used to hear mummies in my other thread saying their babies dun like solids? how to like and finish eating solids when u have 5-7 full milk feeds per day? :p.. go ask ur PD about milk if u r not sure.. :p (in the past my child oso dun drink alot of milk, almost every trip, i ask my PD to get some reassurance... :p by 1.5yrs old. he even stopped taking any forms of milk.. PD says just give him other forms of calcium sufficient oredi - like cheese, yohgurt etc..)
 
Morning all

joey, Ray also just recovered from a bad cold and cough without mediation. What I did was to feed him more garlic and onion in his food and I also increase the amount of raw garlic and onion I took as he is still bfding. Ray recovered within 5 days.

MELim, how old is ypur girl? If she is more interested in solid, feed her more solid then, like toast bread, puree, porridge, rice rusks, etc.

koia, hawthorn should not be taken if you are still planning to bfd unless you are weaning bb off bm.
 
pORRIDGE~!~!~

now my turn to ask questions

1) cut potato+carrot+aparagus into small pieces, simmer using stove cooker for half hr
2)after half hour, put in grinded brown rice into stove cooker (oh before i put in the grinded rice, i will scoop some soup out, and feed her with it during meal times to cultivate her the habit of drinking soup..)
3) once mixture boils, transfer to slow cooker and slow cook for 1hr
4) add in small sizes of fish and slow cook for 15minutes
5) porridge is ready
happy.gif


question:
my method of simmer carrot/potato/vegetables (or some other combination).. is that okay?????????????? will it cause nutrients loss? (i was thinking it is similar to adults eating stew soup) ... if i have dark, leafy vegetables, it is steamed and blend separately and fed as a side dish to the porridge (aka adult eating style, vegetables a dish on its own).
 
i think i am gonna confuse this silly maid with all the porridge thingies :p... come 9mths onwards. i am gonna add legumes and stuffs (millets, green lentils, red lentils, brewer's yeasts, barley, red dates, wolfberries, seaweed)..
 


smurfy, potato and carrot, I use boiling water to boil for a short while, less than 10 minutes. As for aparagus, I dun cook too long too.

If I am cooking with pumpkin or sweet potato, I cut them small cube and add in together to boil with porridge.

I cook my porridge over stove usually less than an hour already canto style. For brown rice, I cook it in slow cooker overnight with pork, wolfberries, etc.
