(2009/09) September 2009 MTBs

i see my gal doesn't want to sleep, decided to pop her into the stroller n go for a walk since the weather like quite good... reach downstairs within 3 mins she fell asleep!
 


itsy,

glad to hear that your supply increased. i want to give up pumping coz i think latching is easier, anyways i pump also so little, so feel like quite waste of time. since latching my gal will be able to get more BM, so now i'm just latching lor.
 
rach,

selling coz like never really use liao ... can't yield much also. then nowadays my nipples not sore anymore, so latch is better also.
 
Katherine

it really depends how long the pump is used... if used for a long time they will sell cheaper... but it is definitely cheaper than medela lor....

Been down with the Flu and baby got it from me too!
For those who use the booger sucker, which type did you buy? the one which you need to use your mouth to suck out the "pi" or the one which looks like a pipette?

By the way, my baby is nearly 8 weeks, go PD also no medication for such young babies, right?
 
Hi Paige

paige,

u mean the nasal aspirator? i'm not seen one that uses mouth to suck, is there such a thing? i'm using the pigeon one, comes with like a suction pump.

i think go PD got leh. my friends bb, she got some nasal infection, i suppose like a cold ilke that? and i think PD gave her some nose-drop thingy to put into the bb's nose. but oh mine... the baby hates it and was crying and screaming away.
 
rach,

when my gal sleeps and i pick her up put to the breast, she auto suck with eyes closed. she'd do that with my breast but not for bottle, don't know why also. if bottle sometimes she very sleepy, she will not even want to open the mouth. engorge? whats that??! i wished i can engorge.. never had any engorgement even though got some days i never pump or latch for more then 5hrs!
 
<font color="ff0000">kiki</font>
i bought the pigeon nasal aspirator..but never dared to try..
how to use huh?? press the ball thing then insert and let go ah???
effective or not???

Mmm... then u try to latch more first ba...to up the supply.. but if u latch and pump together will increase ba.
my initial days only 10-15ml og EBM loh..after latch..so pathetic..
i need to pump 3 times to get 45ml ( her feed amt that time)
but alas... now i can yield 120-170ml every morning.. so i'm satisfied with that..
but i've not even used any frozen EBM since CL left..
so i keep asking myself am i wasting money on the milk bags???
hahah...

<font color="ff0000">shelled</font>
the GLAD 50pcs for $3plus ziploc u use is for snack one huh??
coz for storage only got 25pcs in a box.. its a small one..
yest i went NTUC.. buy zip loc big, small med..for all the different uses..
wahahhawh... some for putting bb clothes in when bringing out.. or her towels, etc..else everything put into bag like so unhygienic..
and if any surprise spill at least bb clothes and stuffs still intact. hehe.. :p

You can buy La Leche League bras from Bebelove. I think sometimes there are BPs selling tube bra for nursing too, but it's not LLL (La Leche League) lah.

Anyway, LLL is an international breastfeeding support group: http://www.llli.org/


<font color="ff33cc">Jess</font>
I bought mine from Taka. I think Isetan also have, but I'm not too sure. Paiseh!


<font color="ff33cc">rach</font>
Your hse really machiam diaper retail store lah!! 800+ pieces?! *faintz*
Ok arh, wait for your supplier to get back to us on the Yummie Tummie. Thanks arh!

I've got the 50pcs/box for SNACK and SANDWICH (GLAD brand). Both are $3+ leh. According to my hubs lah, cos he's the one who bought them from Mustafa.

SNACK can store 5 milksticks. SANDWICH can store 16. Just nice for 2 trays! Hurhur. But you must know how to arrange inside the bag hor. If anyhow throw inside confirm cannot fit 16 sticks.
 
kiki, my GP comment i got lots of blocked duct, thats y i got serious engorgement leading to swollen/red breasts.

anw my BB fell asleep when latching on.so i decide to put her back in cot. but when i was pumping half way, she woke up again. i think she is not used to sucking my nipple. She used too much strength,ended up tired &amp; fell asleep.

Maybe i shld try to pump before latching. ;p
 
rach,

yes, press the ball then insert and let go. read the instructions behind lah! keke... after use must sterilise one hor. its quite effective for me i think, so far managed to suck out when my gal got things stuck in the nose. but i don't dare go too deep, so usually can suck out partial then i try to use tissue to wipe or pull out the rest instead of keep using the aspirator to suck n suck. i scared later my gal grow up got big nose! ahaha..

shelled,

haha.. ya, i also say rach like opening diaper store!
 
huishan,

yeah, i noticed my bb also like uses alot of strength when sucking at my breast. sometimes she will sound like she got asthma like that, when she is trying to position herself or find the nipple. her mouth will open big big and anyhow aim, while at the same time like gasping for air! at first i thought so cute, after a while, sounds quite scary. keke...
 
rach - haha i din ask on the thread cos of the credit card issue. cos i thought no one here will have us credit card

btw for bravado hor, some designs on sale on the website leh. like the Sugar, Spice &amp; Enchanted Microfiber Nursing Bras now usd 39 and The Lifestyle Microfiber - Nursing Bra hot pink is usd 25 leh. hahaha so can your supplier lower the price for these items???
 
is anyone gonna do spree for nursing tops? glamourmum? i think i missed it the last time. how much u gals paid for 1 nursing top that time ah?
 
<font color="0000ff">kiki, hollow</font>
Thanks for advice
happy.gif

yes, nasal aspirator :p Dunno leh, my mum lah, told me last time she uses the one that use mouth to suck, then i go online and check really it exist..!
Last time ask hubby to go KP to buy but he doesn't know what I'm talking about! argh!
<font color="0000ff">kiki</font> does the pigeon one work well?

Yes, was told PD also couldn't do much. <font color="0000ff">hollow</font> your PD prescribe what medication? I thought they normally just prescribe saline nasal spray/drops.

Since i have the flu too, i thought if i breastfeed her more often, i'll pass my antibodies to her...been down for 2 days and so far, both of us are improving. I also didn't dare to take any medication, just lots of vitC and sleep!

<font color="0000ff">shelled</font>
I just checked my account, didn't receive any payment from you leh. Possible to check your side? thanks.
 
<font color="0077aa">shelled</font>
oh.. taka.. okie! thanks! planning to go there liao... lol


<font color="0077aa">paige</font>
i bought the piyopiyo brand "booger sucker" :p

PD should have med for infants with flu.. cos they are babies/ kids specialist.. take care!
 
<font color="0000ff">jess</font>

This booger sucker uses mouth one, right? one tube goes into baby's nose the other into your mouth? Good or not?
Yalor, wanted to go PD then friends advice say go also no use one, so decided to sleep in lah...hate going to PD coz always got to wake up so early :p
 
Hi mummies,

do you know where i can get those plastic tiers for cakes, i can actually "rent" from the cake shop, however, quite troublesome.. . .

thks
 
hi all.. damn tired with a cranky and chao guan baby. She wants to be carried almost all the time and once you put her down, she will wail her lungs out. ARGH. I need to get her out of this bad habit soon! She is only 19days old!

booger sucker: I bought the pigeon one. Haven tried though haha.. only know got the mouth sucking one when i was reading the bb comic. I wouldn't dare use that one lo.. scared i suck too hard swallow like the daddy in the comic HAHAHA.. XD

Slings: If the VCD/DVD doesn't work, try searching on youtube for your particular sling. I just searched for ring sling and going to try that way hehe..

sprees: damn! Am so broke now and got to wait for another 20days for next payday! Sob don't think i can join any sprees for now sob sob

Buffet: How many ppl did you all invite on average ah? I was thinking 80 then hub say too much.. i also duno leh >.< my dept already 20ish + EMS side haven include, then hub's colleagues, relatives and friends. OMG. Or giving those gift boxes more cost-saving? XD
 
<font color="ff0000">shelled</font>

ooh.. so i guess its the snack that is 5 milksticks.. coz i rem u said can put 5 milksticks..the sandwich is the bigger one..
so i got the snack... yah...
but put 16 means u open and close more times rite??

<font color="ff0000">kiki</font>

<font color="ff0000">itsy</font>
u dun accept PM.. please PM me...
 
<font color="0077aa">paige</font>
hee.. yea.. the tip with the small bottle goes into bb's nostril and the long tubing is for us to suck. so far used once.. the booger never gotten suck out cos bb's booger was very sticky type.. not watery..
so in the end used the pigeon tweezer to "giap" it out..
both are tedious work..

a visit to the GP few wks ago, the GP gave us a bottle of nasal spray to clean bb's nose if we find bb's snorting breathing..
spray into bb's nostrils, to make him sneeze out the dirt... lol

<font color="ff0000">shelled</font>
u postd 2 items yest..the other one beside the yummytummy no email could be found to contact the main distributor leh...
 
Seems like everyone is latching their babies on for feeding. Wonder if there's someone who can advise me how to re-introduce my breast to my baby. Any tricks/tips. Today again only 4 mins of suckling then she stops totally !!! Even I tease her mouth with my nipple (milk oozing out). Still dont want to open.
 
paige,

the nasal aspirator worked quite well for me. cannot totally suck out everything but at least it does suck out partially, better then nothing. sometimes the blockage so bad, it sounds like my gal gasping for breath.

rach,

so far, those i sucked out are wet wet one. dry i think hard to suck out wor...

what does your supplier have? how much ah? i'm also not sure what size i should be wearing..any size chart to see ah?
 
lina,

there is a way, but see whether u willing or not.. u got to wait until bb is really hungry. if she is hungry enough she should want to suck on anything u put near her mouth.
 
kiki
i also have problem getting my gal to latch. i did wait till she was super hungry but end up she cry so hard her mouth don't even wanna close until i put the bottle in
give up trying to latch liao..stick to pumping
sad.gif



jul
you also pumping exclusively rite?? have you tried pumping outside?? i wanna go out shopping leh, but now can't leave the house for more than 3 hours if not my breast will be super painful

rach
send you my order liao =) hopefully will have stock..hee
 
kiki

my left boob also only have 1 thin stream *sigh* i never know what it is like to have leaking breast, too fast letdown till bb chokes, freezer space running out etc. haha i also dun need to store BM, just pump, keep in fridge a while then use for next feed.

darned stressful, coz the moment i go out or miss a pump, or even delay an hr, no milk liao
sad.gif


sam will pull away with my nipple still in his mouth *ouch* then scream n scream...

haha diapers din really leak. think it's coz sam's thighs are v fat n the diaper is v tight.

jess

how're u doing with bf? no more mil probs hor?
 
kris

no leh, nvr tried pumping outside. i seldom go out longer than 5h, n i dun have much milk, so wub get engorged boobs
 
hi all, my BB jus rejected my nipple after 15 mins of latching. end up i ask my mil to carry her, so tt i can pump. so stressful seeing BB crying.

End up i pump 60ml and gave to MIL to bottle feed and guess wat. my mil said my BB stop drinking &amp; left 10ml. (my mil was feeding BB with my 60 ml while i concurrently pump) Now my BB intake is 100ml per feed.

Now i am also quite stressful. if later ard 11 plus, she started to fuss....&amp; my supply is limited. i have to resort back to FM.....
 
Hi Paige

my PD prescribed 2 medication, one for runny nose, and the other for phlegm... each time take 1 ml.... also the nose drop thingy also....

she said when babies are young, flu and cough must be taken seriously, just in case bronchitis...

so i think u might want to visit the PD to check out on your baby
 
Gina,
Thanks Gina !!

Kris,
Yea same problem with my girl, when I wait till she is famished. She will choose to cry out loud, scream instead of suckling my nipple. What I did recently is that I feed her EBM, 1/2 the amount or even 1/3 the amount that she usually drinks then I attempt to latch her on. Even this she only latch on for 4-5mins.

Jul_in_weeks,
Yea me too ! I hope my supply will go up after taking Fenugreek + Fish soup. Sometime I wish I am like some of the mummies here, who have heaps of milk for their baby.

Huishan,
I am also quite stressful with pumping, very tempted to get the Medela Pump since everyone seems to have good reviews about it. I am using Avent single electric pump !! How about you ?
 
Jul, you gave me the impression that you don't have much milk but then the amt u managed to pump out is ok mah. Why you keep saying u don't have much?
 
<font color="ff0000">Jul</font>
Huggies not so good in what sense??
so what brand u gonna use??

haha..i've 800++ diapers liaoz.. i cant change.. hahaha...

<font color="ff0000">Huishan</font>
have u been bottle feeding her?? and maybe thats why she rejects ur nipple..
if u wan to latch back fully... i think gotta really try and latch and latch to get back.. not easy....but possible...

<font color="ff0000">Lina</font>
if u wanan get Medela, better order fast..coz need 3 weeks waiting period to reach Spore..
my supplier can give us $469...for Freestyle..
 
Jul
ur daily supply of 700-900ml is actually pretty good! but unfortunately (or fortunately) ur sam is a big eater! he is making up for the the fact that he was not born heavy lah, so now doing all the catch up!

kiki
my pd will tell u the opp lor. dun wait till baby is very hungry cos she might be too agitated and not willing to latch on. fill her up halfway first then she wont fight too much at the breast with u.

also, there is such thing called the medela SNS to help with moms who wish to relactate and moms with low milk supply who wish to introduce latch on.

paige
my baby caught cough bug from his sister. he had blocked nose and was coughing and couldnt sleep well for few nites. his pd is too far away at mt e and i was too busy to travel so far to see her so brought him to nearby pd who prescribed med for him. but i wasnt comfortable to feed him med so early so i didnt feed him the med. i only used iliadin nose drop to relieve his nose congestion and he recovered on his own the next day or so.

im using the booger sucker from pigeon. have been using for my older kids as well. v useful esp for runny n wet mucous.
 
<font color="ff33cc">rach</font>
That website link for the Cinch, it's the manufacturer/distributor leh. You still need what main distributor??
 
Jul,
Wow thats alot !! If yours is low then mine is miserable. I manage to yield 350ml per day thats why my girl can only have enough BM for afternoon + morning feeds but night feeding will be FM.
 


<font color="ff3399">Lina</font>
Does your bb cry/scream after she unlatches? If not, then maybe 4-5 mins is all she needs? And if you want to up your supply, a single pump is not enough. Dual pumping works so much better, and saves time as well.
happy.gif
I wasn't able to up my supply by much until I bought my dual pump. Then of course, have to do power pumping also lor.


<font color="ff3399">Jul</font>
Actually your supply is quite decent leh! Only that Sam is a big drinker, so you can't catch up fast enough with him. Is he latching on well recently? Then can tandem pump??
