Shelled,
Thanks for sharing the link.
Unfortunately, I am not pro enough in my bfing to be handsfree. I need to hold baby’s back or head to keep her close to me and the other hand hold or massage the breast. My toddler is quite hyper. I try to get him to sit still to watch Baby Einstein with me and we’ll sing together etc but he’ll lose his attention halfway and want to climb all of my and pull my hair, get into my lap, pull baby’s hair etc. So now, I let hubby pick him up so that hubby is at home when the toddler is at home, which means he comes back only at about 6 everynight and I see him for an hour before he goes to bed. To make things worse, my #2 refuses to be put down and wants to be carried all the time. So I’m constantly carrying her and have no arms to do anything else with my toddler. Hope it gets better when she is a bit older.
Mamijoan,
Glad to know I’m not the only one facing the “missing the toddler” thing. I;ve read in a lot of books tat we have to be mindful of toddlers feelings of jealousy towards sibling. But I didnt expect that I’ll miss him so much. I use to bring him out all the time and spend a lot of time with him. Now I only see him one hour a day coz hubby brings him home at 6 and he goes to bed at 7.
RE: Leaky boobs
Still havent solved the leaky boobs problem. I wake up agian last night at 5am because I felt a letdown and clothes got all wet. I've tried masking tape breast pads to my boobs, which works but felt it was a waste of all that milk. So then I tried sleeping with bra plus breast shells but too uncomfortable. So last night I tried sleeping with bra and when feel the letdown then inset breast shells in, but in the end too tired to be bothered and clothes get all wet. Sigh... so troublesome. Think I'll go back to masking taping breast pads to my boobs.

Thanks Shelled,
This rascal has kept me up since 1.30am when I only went to bed at 12.30am!
I've fed her like 2 times? With 35 - 50ml Quantity. Guess what... She is now latched onto the breast that produced "strawberry milk" Guess these few days of gentle pumping has let it recover but I still feel Ticklish with her at it >.<
Now my right side (having been abused by her) is sore... And engorged... I've done the massages Wong B.B style.. but some places still lumpy >.<
How does your HB "torture" you? My HB has to end to the salon whislt I'm at home during the confinement period. So I can only massage myself whilst pumping. ( And wishing I had extra hands to hold a bottle under my other leaking boob. ) =(
I actually went to TMC today for my BB's first appt with the PD. And whilst waiting for her Jaundice test results, I went to Parentcraft. But they were CLOSED for lunch!!! AhH!!! Asked me to come back at 2pm... -.- I'm not even supposed to be out of the house and they want me to wait till 2pm? I didn't wait in the end.
Bonjour>>>
Regarding DR. E.K Ong of TMC lvl 5, He is my BB's PD. HB and me find that he is patient and explains well... I believe it's the Saturday crowd that might have caused him to "rush". I had to wait for 1/2 hr - 45mins to see him even when I had an appt? So ya... I've heard he's good, and I was so happy when my Gynae allocated him as my girls PD... I like the way he handles my girl. Even when talking about breasfeeding.. Though he's not an expert, he still gave his theories about it. And advised me to go to the experts. =)
Sometimes fast consultation may be good... Didn't you see the price chart? XD

I don't know about other moms, but I do. Fish is generally ok lor. But have to beware if eating fish with high mercury levels (Eg: swordfish) cos might still pass on to bb thru BM.
Also have to be careful about squid and other forms of non-fish seafood. Could cause allergy. Esp the shellfish sort.
But generally safe lah. Depends on how cautious you wanna be.
Why? Got sashimi craving huh?

Oh dear. That doesn't sound very feasible at all. I would miss my toddler too if I could only see him for an hour each day.
*hugs*
Actually part of the reason why I won't put him away to childcare is cos I can't imagine not having him around for many hours each day. But the irony kicks in when he irritates the hell out of me.
It doesn't take a pro to learn to BF handsfree, it just takes practice and a nursing pillow that works for you. It's all about experimenting with positioning.
Well, it also helps if the lil one stays still while nursing. Mine has a tendency to stretch alot during sessions, so I still have to keep 1 hand on him in case he stretches until he flops off the nursing pillow. But meanwhile at least I have 1 spare hand for my toddler. 1 hand each, very fair. 
I'm also trying hard not to raise any feelings of jealousy in the toddler. Just last week, he came to ask me for a bottle of milk when I was nursing the baby, and I had to tell him to wait cos I can't make formula with 1 hand while nursing the baby. He GRABBED the baby's hair and pulled on it in a fit of anger. Damn, I was at a loss lor. Didn't know if I should scold him (and probably make him blame the baby for getting scolded) or just let it slide. In the end the baby unlatched and cried (duh, pain of course cry lah) and he felt so bad about hurting the baby that he kissed the baby on his own accord. That was the day when I started to read to him during nursing sessions. So he wouldn't feel like I was completely occupied by the baby every 2-3hrs. So far he seems to be taking to it well, and gets all chirpy once he knows it's time for me to nurse bb. Cos it means he gets to read another book!
Regarding spending time with your toddler, any luck to get someone to hold the baby while you bring the big one out for a walk?
Some evenings immediately after nursing, I pass the baby to my hubs and just spend time with the boy. If I'm tired, we'll just go to my room, lie down in bed, and play silly games, sing, or read. (My boy's a bookworm.)
Don't know how well this will work for you, but everything's worth a shot. The babies don't know much right now, let alone be jealous. But the bigger ones... I'm just more concerned about the emotional wellbeing (sense of security, etc etc).
But like you said, things will get better when the baby gets older. Most definitely.
Just hang in there, yah? Early days with a baby is always hardest, isn't it? Steep learning curve.
<font color="ff0099">Re: Leaky boobs</font>
Doesn't it hurt to put masking tape on your boobs?!? Not possible to just wear bra and put the breastpads in them?? Masking tape sounds so... extreme.
Well, on the bright side, leaky boobs phase shall pass too. Once your milk supply stabilises ard 6-8weeks? But then again... if you miss a night feed when bb sleeps longer at night, the leaky issue will return again. I got that alot when #1 was 4-6 mths old. Ain't pleasant, I gotta say.
<font color="ff0099">Pamelia</font>
My hubs does massage the way Mrs Wong taught lor. Sibei painful cos he'll really PRESS while rubbing hor!! Wah, thinking of it my boobs also feel sore.
I realise self-massage is not as effective as having someone else massage for you leh. Cos we cannot apply pressure evenly the same way cos our arms just cannot twist that way lah.
Ask your hubs to massage you when he come home everyday?? Gives him excuse to touch your boobs also.
You can also try massaging with both hands BEFORE you pump/latch. Then continue to rub the lumps during. That's what I do when Hubs not around lah. Then when he come home, i ask him to torture me again. LOL.

I think your problem maybe that your breasts are higher than baby's mouth when she is lying down. Maybe you can try to put her on a baby pillow. I wasn't able to bf lying down for my #1 either but this time for #2, it seems just nice and she actually drinks without turning as much when lying down as compared to when cradled. However, one problem with lying down is that she tends to throw up more milk. I will carry her up to burp more often, like after 10 mins whereas for cradle hold, I will burp her only after the whole session.
Also, I think it takes a little practice to be successful. Baby needs to be quite adept at "catching the nipple" before you can start feeding while lying down. When I tried in the 1st 2 weeks, I was not successful either but now I have no problem. Perhaps you can try the positioning when she is not hungry so that you don't get a wailing baby while you struggle at positioning.

wow, your toddler sleeps at 7pm? I wish my toddler would go to bed earlier. He sleeps around 10.30pm and it is tough having to handle him together with the baby. So what time does he wake up? How about spending some time with him in the morning before he goes off?
Your leaking problem sounds extreme. How about stuffing 2 breastpads into your bra when sleeping? Or maybe use, sanitary napkins in place of the breastpads? They are much more absorbant. Just trying to be creative, heh.
Shelled,
reading a book to toddler while bfing sounds like a good idea. My toddler loves to read too. Right now, I do the laziest thing, let him watch cartoon while I sit beside him nursing.
And I have the same problem as you. My toddler is super active. Sending him to 1/2 day childcare keeps me and my mum sane. His favourite activity in school is gym coz he gets to work off his energy! We just can't keep up with his energy level, not to mention his terrible twos tantrums. It is also safer for him to run around in school than at home since the school is better childproofed.

My milk supply are rather low. During my stay in hosp, jayden keeps sleeping when i breastfeed and i also dun knw whether he had enuff milk anot so in the end i requested for the breast pump and pump out the milk for him. Every EBM for both breasts only can pump out abt 1oz nia and still got to add on another 1oz FM for him to drink. Somemore one side breast bleeding.
Hope my milk supply will be more the next few days.

Michelle,
AP for CL is up to individual. This is jus a token. For good luck not for anything else. Moreover we employ them already not cheap. We provide them eat n sleep and our food is not included. I will give more if im very contented with her if not i will also give ard $24. This is what i felt.

Bonjour,
The price chart at the cashier. On the charges, 50 - 80 bucks for up to 10 mins consultation? Etc etc. Can't remember the whole chart though.
About the head shape, Their skull isn;t fully "pieced" together YET. But will mould into shape with time. Nothing to be alarmed about.
Steriliser I am using Avent Electric Sterilser, Don't know if it's good. As long as it "sterlises" my bottles and kills the germs or whatever's inside it.

Babys head,
he soft spots are known as "fontanelles". There are two of them and they may vary in size slightly. The one at the back of the head is usually smaller than the other and triangular in shape. This is known as the posterior fontanelle. The other one is larger and is on the top of the head. It is diamond or kite shaped and is known as the anterior fontanelle.
At birth your baby's head bones were relatively soft and connected by tissue. Because of this, when your baby was passing through the birth canal, her head was able to change shape as the bones slid over each other (this is called moulding). This will have helped her to get through that small space and be born. Your baby's head is the largest part of her, so this is Nature's clever way of temporarily making it smaller! Eventually, your baby's head bones will meet and join together, and the soft spots will close.
The posterior fontanelle is often quite difficult to feel and it usually closes by six weeks of age, as the bones of the head grow.
The anterior fontanelle is more obvious and can easily be felt as a slightly soft area of skin on the top of the head. This does not close until well after your baby's first birthday, usually by eighteen months.
After delivery, your paediatrician will look at the fontanelles when they examine your baby. It is uncommon for there to be any problems, but, if there are, you will be given information about them. Usually your doctor will check to see that your baby's head bones are growing normally alongside the rest of her.

I read some reviews about babyfirstmonth.com, its unique, which is what my hubby wanted (I wanted to go with shelled recommendation with melrose bakehouse actually) so I'll be trying it out for my baby's first month...
They have some free favours with the food catered too...quite nicelah.
BREASTFEEDING SLEEPING POSITION
Ermm, one question: for this position, must have BIG breast, right? if not, ermm, quite difficult for babyto "reach" your breast?

BF-ing while lying down
just sharing how i do it... i put my baby on the plastic changing sheet given by TMC, so can put the sheet to adjust the position of baby without moving the baby. then put a rolled blanket to support baby's back. after successful latching, i sleep while he works!
last time my boy "merlion"... was using lying position, then he suddenly coughed and had milk all over his hair. my CL still laughed at this, nearly wanted to kill her

Hi Mummies, I have been missing sooooo much from this thread.. hahaha at least 5 pages in archive to catch up..
I've been busy with baby and expressing milk for the past 1 week.. sigh.. sooo tired.. especially my BB very big drinker... After latch on can still drink 60ml of formula.. Think I not producing enough.. sigh...
Already taking Goat's Rue, drinking lots of soup and water and also some nursing tea but just dun seem to produce enough.. Now baby 1 week old, I'm only able to express about 30-40ml every 3 hrs.
/b{Jess,} my baby now seeing Dr Ang Poon Liat from TMC which I heard is super good. My colleague's kids also see him even though they are older now... Dr Ang was the assigned PD when my baby was born so heard good reviews and decided to stick with him.

paige... erm, i don't have big breast, but am able to latch with sleeping position with ease. it is same idea as other positions - hold your breast, and make sure nipple and most part of aeola are inside baby's mouth
Hi Sarah,
So u have been using Tolly Joy Sterisiler for how long? so far got any problem?
Thanks others for giving me advise also.
I thinking all Sterisiler shall be the same. Cos is just to sterilise bottle.
Maybe Pigeon brand and Avent brand can last longer? Can i say that?
Im thinking of is it a must to get a better brand than Tolly Joy Sterisiler.
sigh.. Dilemma.

i dunno, i tried de sleeping position, very hard leh. when i lie down liao, how i use my hand to guide bb to my nipples n latch properly. in de end i gave up. keke

michelle, if I just latch on, baby can suck for hours loh... once I detach him, he will cry.. hahah
So what I do is I latch on plus express after that...
Do you think it helps? Or should I just latch on and keep pressing on? Cause initial days I just latch on and I couldn't keep up to him.. at night can latch him on both breast a total of 1 1/2 hrs and after I unlatch him, he cries for milk..

stephanie> but u need to train him to latch on. unless u r prepared to bottle feed for the rest of his breastfeeding? cos latching on actually saves time.
at the start he might not know how to latch properly, thus take very long. but like now, my boy can latch on 20mins n settle his 2-3hourly intake. at times when he is really hungry, at the most he latch for 40mins.

Mwerkz,
I latch and bottle feed my 6day old. Because I'm too sore on the one side to latch her... My other side is too sensitive to latch all the time too.. XD
But expressing the milk out is not more time conserving when they drink faster, burp, sleep? Latching on we have to wait until they "pass out" from sucking...
I am so engorged on my right side that I've already broken down and cried to my HB when I massage until hand tired and asked him to help me. I got desperate and called the TMC Parentcraft centre and was told to use 3 cold cabbage leaves on my engorged breast. I have to wait for HB to come back from the salon tonight to try if it really solves my problem... I really ben massaging until my hands are tired and I feel like a sick cow. T^T

I suspect if boobs are big or our bodies are the broad and wide type, it may be harder to feed in sideways lying down in bed.
But you should prop pillow or something behind bb so support her back and hold her in sideways lying position, aim her head at your boob, then latch lor.
Maybe for you, you might have to tilt your body slightly forward towards her so the boob is closer to her face.
Must experiment a bit lah. I also took WEEKS before I could BF Joshua lying down.
<font color="ff0099">Michelle</font>
I know shouldn't base on how much i pump lah, but like i said, the mommies here make me kanchiong!! I am easily swayed by other ppl. Hurhur.
And if I dont' pump some EBM to keep, means I cannot go out without bb leh. I'm in desperate need of a manicure cos my cuticles so dry and peeling. But no chance to go!!
<font color="ff0099">Mamijoan</font>
Oh yes... the terrible twos tantrums!! I was forced to by a cane just a couple of weeks ago, just to use to scare him into behaving.
I've been holding back on buying cane for so long lor, but I realise I'm at my wits' end already.
At least your toddler is going to bed at 10.30pm. Mine had always been on a 10pm bedtime, then suddenly from the last few wks of my preg, he just won't sleep!! Until now his timing still all screwed up, and he'll only be asleep between 12-2am!! *faints*
Today I'm going to let him skip nap by doing nonsense ard the house, then HOPEFULLY tonight he will go to bed at 10pm!
<font color="ff0099">Pamelia</font>
You very kua zhang leh! Bite chopsticks?! No need lah, JUST SCREAM!!!!
I sit on the couch while he *ahem* straddles himself standing in front of me over my lap lor. (Sounds misleading, I know.) Then he'll press so hard until my back is firmly pressed against my couch.. He will pay special attention to any hard lumps and focus there after doing "general area massage".
<font color="ff0099">Moojenn</font>
THose are called "blood blisters". And yes, I kenna before. Try not to feed bb with "strawberry milk".
You can continue to pump to relieve engorgement, but don't feed bb with it. Just throw away. Otherwise if it hurts too much to pump, use hand to manual express to relieve engorgement.
Medela cream should heal your nipples within 48hrs, so don't worry about it.
Once the blister has popped, there wil usually be no more blood coming out, so you can continue to latch/pump on that side.

do u latch one side or both sides in one feeding? my boy usually falls asleep after one side, then refuse to open his mouth for the other side.
Moojenn
think u can adjust the speed of pump. i also had bleeding for the first few days. after a few days of torturing, my nipples are hardened now... got to tahan a few days
shelled
u mentioned that baby tends to "merlion" for lying down BF-ing position... so must burp after each side?

I think best if can burp before and after lah. Cos lying down in that position, its easy to merlion/spit up if the gas come out from bb's mouth.
While each bb is unique in terms of burping/gas, it never hurts to play safe and burp them just in case. Accumulated gas leads to cranky/fussy babies, and thus leads to tired/cranky moms.
For me, I'm lazy to sit up and burp bb during and after night feed, so I burp him before I latch him on. Removes any existing gas, so any "new" gas wont' total up to being too much to make him uncomfortable.
Also cos he tends to fall asleep immed after night feed, and burping him will be quite useless cos he refuses to stay upright for me to burp him. ANd I end up waking him if I force him to burp.
Once again, experimentation will help you find out what works for you/bb.

pamelia> keke. no la. even if bb latches on, but does not suck, i'll get my nipples out n put him to bed =p so latchin on can be fast too. make sure he is really sucking when he latches on, instead of juz putting de nipple in his mouth =p
it's olways like tat at the start. cos ur body still adjusting to bb's needs. dun worry too much. mine was oso like tat initially. we all went thru it. dun think too much. u can make it

waiwai> usually i latch one side. cos he settle within 20mins ma. but at time he wan more, as long as he latch on for 30min on one side, i'll switch n offer him de other sides. but this is only very seldom. most of the time, one side is good enugh for him.
y i offer him one side most of de time is becos of the foremilk n hindmilk theory =p
