Morning ladies!
huishan: me! haha i thinking of buying 2nd hand to try first though :x
oh btw, those mummies with DH, is yours a new or a transfer maid? Thinking of getting transfers as they have experience and loan is cheaper but my main concern is why they are being transferred out.
my mum even asked me to go back miri to find and pay for her air tix to and fro...

Morning everyone !!
Everyone quite gear up to breastfeed your bb. Thou this is #2. I got no idea. #1 i didn't.
It is necessary to buy the milkbags, nursing pads now? I'm trying to save as much $ i can. Cos last time brought the manual breast pump. But no milk comes out. I got zero knowledge. Breasts did not even engorge. My mum was puzzle herself.
I really evny mummies that got lots of milk to give.

Do you breastfeed yr bb often when staying in the hospital after birth. Cos i read bb must feed 8 -12 times a day. So meaning we can't really sleep cos bb need to be fed the whole night ?
When will the milk start kicking in after birth ? Thanks cos i really very lousy.

Hi Angeline, my sis did mention to me before.
i found a thread with directions:
If you stand in front of the temple's main entrance (back facing the temple), you'll see a building with lots of shops selling dry goods/ chinese medicine on the ground floor.
The shop is the left-most corner unit on the ground floor.
Oh and they don't follow retail hours since they are wholesalers.

Hi Angeline,

Some of my friends insists that Avent is the best. I had a friend who used Ameda and she didn't like it. Some of my friends said Medela is noisy. And I understand that different ladies find different breastpump more effective that others, probably cos of the differing shape of our breasts.
I heard that there's somewhere that you can 'try out' different breastpumps before you buy but this will prob have to wait till your baby comes out and the milk has flowed.

RE: Breast pump
According to the mummies in Jan08 thread who has successfully breastfed (I myself only breastfed for 6 weeks and considered a "failed" case :-(), they shared that Avent manual is the best pump to be used for the first few weeks to establish the milk supply, esp if baby doesn't latch on well/frequent. Once the milk flow is established and stabilized, then switch to electrical one, some prefers Avent, some prefers Medela, and Ameda is the rare one they talked about (maybe not because it's not good, but just not as popular as the other two). Hope this info is helpful.

Yeah.. my sis told me to get 1 pack of huggies newborn first coz don't know how big she will be and how fast she will outgrow the diapers.
For Ameda i think i read that its one of the better breast pumps around but they not really that easy to get i think. I only saw a few companies bringing in. Hehe..
Headache ah when it comes to breast pumps. Then still got the storage thing... oh dear.. can anyone provide me with a step by step guide from buying pumps to storing of breast milk and washing and defrosting and and and.......especially how to pump at work! I scared the pump make a lot of noise in the toilet and the whole world will know i pumping >.<

yes i have been experiencing for 2 months. i went to see GP. he gave me pain killer. i never even take any cos i think no point.
Went to chinese physician. she helped me massage. said my back got some veins got blockage. she helped me massage. but problem come back again.
of cos she suggest going back for more massage to ease the blockage. or i can massage my hand(she claims can relieve the pain). she taught where to press. But back home, i jus cannot find the spot to press. haiz.
now is bearable. so On and off i will go for massage to ease the pain.

hui chern / Re: BFing
I started leaking a bit of milk since about 2 mths ago... But milk only properly come in abt 1-2wks after delivery, as in the engorgement type lor. I BF my #1 in the hospital as well. There's a sign on his wrist and bed that says "TBF baby", and the nurses will bring him to me every 3 hrs for feed. I couldn't keep him in the room with me because I took 2-bed ward, and they said will disturb my roommate. This time round I'll be taking 1-bed ward, so I hope to keep BB with me as much as possible. As for feeding at night, yes, you'll need to wake up every 2-4 hrs to feed baby (depending on your bb's schedule). My #1 fed every 3hrs until he turn about 1 mth old, then it was once every 4hrs.
But if you want the honest truth from me, I will tell you BF is so much easier than FM lah. Imagine you have to wake up at night, go kitchen make milk, hold the bottle and feed baby, then wash bottle. If you BF, you just pick up BB, expose your breast, and pop baby on. Then you can go back to sleep leh! Nothing to wash, and don't even need to leave the room if BB is sleeping with you!!
If you wanna sleep nonstop 6 hrs, just get someone to give BB EBM. My hubs would often take 6am feed last time, so I can sleep from 3am to 9am nonstop. Cos he said 3am go heat up EBM... troublesome leh.
When you go out with BB, you don't have to bring anything extra except maybe a extra pair of breastpads & a towel to clean up drips/spills. If on FM, you have to bring bottles, water, milk powder... Aiyo so troublesome! My #1 change to FM when he was 6 mths old, and first few times we went out, we so blur we forgot to blur milk powder & bottles lor! Cos we were so used to having a walking milk machine (aka ME).
I really really recommend BF if mommies can do it, because:
1) Cost savings – FM not cheap. And there will be wastage cos BB cry, u think he/she hungry, but they actually not and dunwan to drink it. Milk throw away.
2) Easy and convenient – Very few things to wash/sterilise/bring out/buy.
3) Best for baby – This one, I'm sure we all know.
4) Bonding with baby – My #1 used to give me this "i love you so much" look whenever I BF him, and it always melted my heart.
5) You lose weight from BF if you watch what you eat.
Sorry very long post, but with all that said & done, if you cannot keep up with BFing because of work or milk supply problems, then of course logically will have to take the FM route lah. I'm not those BF activist who will throw rotten eggs at you if you don't BF, what I feel is that if it's better for baby, cheaper, more convenient, why use FM?

Bumwear has One size pocket diapers that will fit babies from 5kg to 2+ yrs old, as well as training pants that come in sizes. If you're buying the starter kit, just buy the one size pocket diapers, cos training pants are more for potty training uses, so you won't need it until bb is much older.
WeldonMummy
My boy couldn't use nappy liners leh. Even if I put it between the nappy and not directly on his bum. He broke out in horrid horrid horrid bumrash from the stupid liners. So I gave up and just use disposables. I think if you ask me now, I also cannot really remember how to fold cloth nappies lor!

Yeah, I get on/off numbness also. Something like carpal tunnel syndrome. But I notice going for massage helps to keep that away probably due to improved blood circulation.
Kam / Re: Breast pumps
Honestly, I believe latching on bb directly during the first few wks is the best way to increase milk supply. Afterall, most mommies will be on ML right? No matter how good a pump is, it won't be able to exactly replicate the hormonal stimulation that baby suckling will create.
After giving birth, I suggest asking the hospital's lactation specialist (if any) to come round and help demo how to latch on bb correctly and efficiently. I had Mrs Wong Boh Boi (TMC) help me latch my #1 on, and I believe it was a great boost in my breastfeeding journey. She said moms usually get sore/cracked nipples because the latching position is not correct. I myself had BLEEDING nipples on the 2nd day of BFing in the hospital lor, that's why had to ask her to come help. But after that one short session where she show me how to latch bb on, the rest of the 6 mths of BFing, I never ever had sore/cracked nipples at all!

If you don't mind washing diapers, and you want something soft and comfy for baby, I definitely feel Bumwear is worth the price. Because for regular cloth nappies, there will come a stage when bb will move around a lot and it will be difficult to put the nappy on, and KEEP it on. And the leakage!! *faints* The elastic thigh area keeps everything inside, so you won't get a pee/poop trail on your floor.
rach
No need to pay lah! She'll do daily visits in the wards of BF moms, and give advice if needed. As for us, my hubs kancheong cos got blood coming out from my nipples, so he went to her office and asked her to come save me. We also took her antenatal classes, so she already knew us. But regardless, lactation specialists will come and give simple advice lor. If you want those 1 hour sessions, then have to pay lah.
I didn't drink any alcoholic tonics at all. I just ate whatever the confinement catering brought, and even then I ate little cos I don't like confinement food. There are alot of views on whether can take those tonic wines or not, but at the end of the day, it's up to you lor. Although WARNING, some bb break out in rash as a reaction to the alcohol content.

shelled,
Totally agree! Baby's suction is the best pump of all. I was sharing that, if, for any circumstances that baby refuses to latch or cannot latch, then maybe the manual Avent is the best one based on others experience.
And thanks for sharing your successful bf story. My "failure" was due to low milk supply and some other issues. But I won't say more here cos it'll discourage 1st time mummy. Nonetheless, for #2, I am very very very determine to make it a successful story!!! I will try and try and endure and persist!!! Now I got a lot of experienced bf mummies from the Jan08 thread to give me advise on. Yes, you are right, getting an expert to consult on the initial latching is critically important. This time round, I will ask for Mrs Wong to come and take a look (if she is willing to since I didn't attend her class this time round, but still her ex-student mah), even if she charges at premium, I think it's all worthwhile! Thanks again for sharing!
Totally agree! Baby's suction is the best pump of all. I was sharing that, if, for any circumstances that baby refuses to latch or cannot latch, then maybe the manual Avent is the best one based on others experience.
And thanks for sharing your successful bf story. My "failure" was due to low milk supply and some other issues. But I won't say more here cos it'll discourage 1st time mummy. Nonetheless, for #2, I am very very very determine to make it a successful story!!! I will try and try and endure and persist!!! Now I got a lot of experienced bf mummies from the Jan08 thread to give me advise on. Yes, you are right, getting an expert to consult on the initial latching is critically important. This time round, I will ask for Mrs Wong to come and take a look (if she is willing to since I didn't attend her class this time round, but still her ex-student mah), even if she charges at premium, I think it's all worthwhile! Thanks again for sharing!

re: bum wear

re: storing BM
i used glass bottles and sometimes milk bags. took many bottles from hospital keke. milk bag is not cheap and can't be recycled

re: breastfeeding
Mrs Wong from TMC is really good. i had difficulty in latching on 1st day, my hubby called her and she came to my rescue!

if you drink before bf, the alcohol will go into your blood stream and then baby might get a share of it. So advise to consume right after bf, so your body still have 2-3 hours to clear out alcohol. But of course, the basic rule is - consume alcohol in moderation! You won't be drinking/eating alcoholic stuff the whole day right.

If im not wrong, its ok de.. When using wine in cooking, ur suppose to cook till the alcohol content evaporates before we eat de.. Just let it simmer in low heat once cooked lo..

Don't say it until like that lor. At least you tried, and now can learn from experience! As they say in Chinese, "failure is the mother of success".
If I hadn't gotten bleeding and cracked nipples on the 1st day, I also wouldn't have gotten Mrs Wong to teach me the correct latching method and had a good 6 mths of BFing! Despite going for antenatal class, I feel we actually only learn properly when the bb is already here and she can help us latch the bb on for live demo.
I think as long as she's around in the hospital, she will be willing to coach mommies on BF. She's very friendly that way.

I totally agree on the bumwear. I also lazy mommy.

Oh dear.. i hope i do not need to break out of KKH after delivery and run to TMC to ask Mrs Wong to teach me!
The 3D scan was fun! Even got video of the scan (of her moving at the same time) hehe!! But my girl a bit not cooperative eh.. one arm keeping covering a portion of her face... and then she turned face down (read facing my butt/spine) -.-'
