ya milk supply will stabilise ard 4-6 wks. wah y such drastic diff? 100ml b4 latch is a big drop from ur previous amt hor. last time ur 300ml is after latch right?

if u wan to incr supply u gotta pump closer interval, say 2 hourly not 3 hourly. all the best ok! u can do it

RE:JUL
i was also thinking abt her today! cant sms her cos i dun hv her mobile. maybe Shelled has updates abt her cos she has her mobile.

i bet she must be sneezing frequently today cos so many ppl talking abt her LOL

Sarah
when my babies were admitted for phototherapy i will deliver my ebm to hosp 3 times a day. i will coincide with his feeding times so i can latch him there when i deliver ebm. but thats becos i used to stay very near the hosp. if u stay far away then this is not feasible. actually as long as ur baby is hydrated, drinks enuf, i dun believe ebm alone is not able to bring jaundice level down. i dunno why some pd will say fm works faster.

hope ur baby can discharge soon.

Pam
wow sounds v tiring for u hor cos i can barely keep eyes open for more than half an hour during nite time, let alone u for so many hours to tend to a fussy baby.

my baby sleeps routinely at 7pm every nite. actually i didnt plan it that way but sonehow he himself get into this routine himself. he will sleep until 8am next morn only crying for milk every 2-2.5 hrs then go back to sleep. once in a while he will wake up at nite if he poos after his feed then i cham lor cos he can only get back to sleep 2 hrs later!!

what i do everyday is give him a bath at 6pm then after that change him into his sleepsuit, swaddle him, turn on air con, dim the lights, feed him then he knock out. good he KO early too so i can tend to my older kids.

Waiwai, crystal,

Michelle,
Yes i still remember u told me that you stay 1 more day due to ur baby jaundice.

Mama,
Noted your advise.

Thanks to all mommies...
 
Mamato6Js, heheh mine also started to sleep like 6-8 hours at night liao... its been 3 nights liao.. but day time he super fussy.. wanting to keep carry.. so day time I can't really rest loh... then night time have to express milk.. hahah like also cannot rest leh.. lol

No wonder I look like a panda..

Hi Ladies,

just to check, if the bb doesnt burp but farts also.. isit okie ar? my ger simply doesnt burp no matter how long we tried patting her at her back.. but she farts alot lo..
 
Mamato6,

It's even more tiring than standing whole day in my salon man~ At least I know when I close for the day.. I can K.O!

I wanted to give an evening bath to my BB.. But my MIL stopped me from doing so... >.<
 
<font face="kristen itc"><font color="#FF6666">itsy...</font>

Please dun!

My that amt of supply really didnt come easy too... I also had probs intially de.. i didnt even have colostrum till the 4th day lo.. which mean all the while at the hospital, while i latch my gal, she's sucking nothing lo.

It was the many nights of pumping diligently every 2-3 hours. if im aslp, will put alarm to wake up n pump de. I too had sore nipples, blood blisters. Engorgement was horrible too! my boobs were hard like rock lo.. very hot n can feel "thick veins" on my breasts de.

Just dun give up k? JIAYOU! *hugs*</font>
 
pam
how abt a wipe then since she doesnt allow u to bath baby? do u have a habit to differentiate the clothes she wears in the day n in the nite? babies like routine. i do this with all my babies and so far they devlop their sleeping patterns quite well.

yah i can imagine how tiring it is!! cos last nite when baby woke up at 2am to feed i was so tired that once he unlatched i couldnt even be bothered to try to latch him back even though he only fed 5 mins i just faster put him back to sleep!
 
Sheryn
haha!! my baby farts a lot too! as long as u have tried burping her and she never merlion after her feeds its ok lah. cos some babies really v difficult to burp!!
 
mamato6,

Lol... She wears the same clothes when after she bathes in the day... Maybe I try wiping her secretly later. =3

Now I know why first time mummies develop depression... DUE TO LACK OF SLEEP!
 
hi mommies... me down with high fever since last evening... so suay...
feeling better now so can sit up and surf net a bit.
have to throw my BM away from yesterday and today... cos doc says might have infection spread to BM...
today experienced a bit of engorgemt cos i did nt express since morning.. lol... heartache to express and then pour away...



<font color="0077aa">Ling</font>
u jiayou too! *hugs*
 
Mamato6Js,

so glad to hear tt... Well, she cried last nite due to wind in her tummy.. then after i rub some ruyi oil to warm her tummy area.. she went back to sleep.. but at least farting helps to remove all the wind.. =) We hv farty bbs.. =P
 
Jess,

I had high fever last week too. My fever went up to 39.5 degree. I thought is was due to engorgement and not enough rest, I took panadol and went to rest. I did still breastfeed leh... OMG.. luckily nothing happen, bb was fine and my fever went down the next day.
 
If I'm not wronmg hor, when sick should still breastfeed baby right? Unless you take antibiotics or some medicine which in the end cannot breastfeed, if not I remember reading that your BM will have antibodies which is good for baby...

Jess, if you on antibiotics but still want to breastfeed when recover, its best for you to express ans throw...

Else later supply will dip when u recover...
 
<font color="0077aa">enxuan</font>
glad u okie..
my fever still goes up and down at times...
dare not carry my bb... =(


<font color="0077aa">stephanie</font>
doc says my fever might be due to infection... so better throw.. which i did..
but feeling weak at times.. so dun feel like expressing...
i worried more abt my supply due to this stoopid fever..
 
<font color="aa00aa">Jess</font>, Oh I see... Sigh... u get well soon lah..

If by then ur supply dip, maybe then you can take supplements to boost it... dun stress k...

Just concentrate on getting well..
 
Steph
ur baby sleep 6-8 hrs wo milk? or he will still cry for milk like mine?

i also wish my baby will sleep thru the nite leh but when he does that, i will hv another prob, that is, breasts will surely get engorged! then still gotta get up early to pump also.

Jess
oh no, hope u recover soon. the worst is to have fever lor, whole body so weak dun feel like doing anything hor. who is taking care of baby for u?

what infection u have? hope its not due to blocked ducts or mastitis? but when i was hvg mastitis n taking antibiotics, i still fed my gal back then leh. the doctor said its safe and i verified with my pd who said same thing too. but if u not comfortable then just try to pump n dump. else u dun pump, u get engorged and u still dun pump, ur supply will go down over time n once its down v hard to get it up again. but thats the last thing u should worry lah, now concentrate in gettg well first ok. u dun feel up to it just pump a bit lor to relieve urself.
 
hee thanks <font color="0077aa">stephannie</font> &amp; <font color="0077aa">mamato6js</font>

i pumped n dumped lo... just to be on the safe side...
MIL taking care of bb lo... no choice... she seemed more happy to do it
no blocked ducts or the mastitis.. doc dunno y i got this high fever too... yes.. very weak.. somemore when i have fever.. my whole body will aches...

yeap.. i just pumped only.. heartache to pour them away... lol

<font color="aa00aa">mamato6Js</font> - Hehehe he sleep at night for about 6-8 hours never wake up for milk.. Or at least not loud enough to wake me up then maybe go back to sleep lah.. but I dun think so I sleep so soundly lah.. hehehe

First night, he slept at about 10 plus (can't rem exact time)I think and woke up at about 7am. 2nd night he slept at about 7 plus, wake up about 3:30am but fuss till 5:30am after milk. Then last night slept at about 11 plus, woke up at 8am this morning...

*crossing fingers* Really hope this can go on.. lol... but I still dun get more sleep cause I sleep only at about 2am... lol cause express last time before I go sleep

But at least I have peace cause he keep wanting me to carry him.. and only I can stop him from crying... mum carry him during day time, he will still cry

What to do with leftover EBM that baby can't finish in the bottle?
hi mummies, do we throw away the EBM that baby cant finish? or can we still keep it in the fridge for next feed?

very heartache to throw away EBM that we took so much pain and effort to pump out leh...

jess
hope u get well soon.. i understand the feeling of throwing away EBM.... dont think so much abt that now.. getwell first lor..
 
<font color="aa00aa">milkyway</font> - I will throw if baby cannot finish the EBM that's why I never give him a lot.. I always agar agar one.. so my frozen packs all not big packs one

I am lucky... I didn't do anything actually.. maybe his day time fussing tires him out.. tires me out too... hahah

but I read somewhere before that after the baby's 1st month, he will have a "special" night that he will not wake up for milk... after that night, even if he wakes up, dun give milk.. soon he will be able to sleep through the night..

This worked for my eldest boy last time...
 
<font color="ff0000">flower></font>
yes.swaddle bb whole day... at least for the 1st month..to make them feel secure..
else they will be frightened... at least tats what the old folks say..
no harm done to swaddle them..so swad loh..

ooh.. i dun give water when she hiccup too... hicuup is a process of growing up..its okie de..
not like us adults will drink water when we hicuup.. hehe...

huh.. no need envy la...
but mother ard also good..when she cries for cuddling.. i throw to mother..
coz she's the one who spoilt her for cuddling anyway..
i told her.. u wanna carry her like that..whenevr she wants to be carried.. then u carry her..
she's more than happy to carry her now.. i hope it lasts.. hahaha...

yup...buy from US no guarantee from spore...
but honestly...seldom will need to bring back..even though i have warranty for so many electrical products, i dun bother to bring them back..
the only thing i wll bring back is laptop and PC...
the rest.. spoil just buy new ones.. haha...
like hair dryer, fan, DVD player etc...never bother to send in the warranty also. hehe...

<font color="ff0000">milkyway></font>
leftovers from the feed should be thrown away...
so u must know how much ur bb is drinking and give only what is sufficient loh... dun warm too much...
should have a consistent drinking amt...

i had a bottle taken from freezer yest to defroze...
but till now not yet utlised... i wonder if i can still keep for tmr to drink or to throw??
can afford to throw coz i have 6 bottles waiting to be used.. but that is a 200ml bottle!!!!!!
meant for 2 feeds at nite.. but bb been waking up only once to drink for past 2 nites....
so now i have a bottle 100ml plus a 200ml bottle waiting to be drunk....

faint... i should throw away the 200ml huh??????

i smelt the 100ml bottle no fishy smell..so can still use?????????
 
<font color="aa00aa">flower4</font> - I eat normal leh.. drink a lot of soup and eat fish loh...

I honestly dun think its my milk cause day time he drink already still hungry one leh.. heheheh
 
steph> ahhh..okie...then not so bad la.... i can still use it.. but by the time i use it will be tmr nite liaoz??????? man..... siao like that... 48 hours then... i think i better throw that and bring another bottle down...haiyo..like that very hard to estimate also leh... coz now i only letting my girl drink 1 bottle a day...the rest all latch on... so i should store all in 100ml and bring one down only in the morning..so by nite will thaw liaoz....
 
Rach, then like that why don't u let her take EBM tomorrow morning then u express? at least like that can "exchange" a new bottle of EBM mah..
 
mamato6Js,
your boy is a lot more handsome now! yah, mine's got a lot of hair and quite chubby at birth, but lost abt 6% of body weight at first PD visit. waiting for him to gain weight soon, cos most of the clothes that i bought start from 3-6 months onwards =)

<font color="aa00aa">Rach &amp; flower4</font> - Oh one thing I do is at night when I express before I sleep, I do change his diapers. And also the last diaper in the evening, I use Pampers.. day time use Mamy Poko. I find that Pampers lets him stay dry longer... so like now, I just changed his diapers to the 2nd pc of Pampers...

Maybe he's dry so quite comfortable?
