itsy> past few days i oso tot bb sucking for comfort. but dun seem like now. cos he back to normal again. u monitor. growth spurt can last anytime btw 3days to a wk. juz tahan for 1wk. if back to normal again, means is growth spurt

stephanie> maybe parentcraft will tell u. u r so lucky bb manage to sleep thru de nite. u know how many mums wan? keke =p u can try calling n let us know =p

n ya. i read somewhere before. dun wake a sleeping bb up for his feeds. not sure why too =p

moojenn> if u wan to up ur supply, u can try pumping more often. i read before its 7-10times a day. but latching one time considered pumping one time too =p

julieanna> haha. ya. will get hungry. been snacking a little. n put on some weight again -_-"

 

[flower4]

Shelled,
I hope my middle tummy line will fade , maybe i go suntaning if got chance

Michelle,
For me I total put on 20kilos ☹ .. right after delivered I lost 10kilos.. til todate I dare not to weigh myself..

I tot by wearing nursing bra & clothing will make ez to pump in office.. our office have room.

Gina
All the best.

Itsy,
Whenever I all alone, and bb need feed every hourly or half hourly and im so going crazy.. I oso dun have time to toilets calls..

My bb feeds last week is like 1hr or half hour and learnt from shelled is growing spurt.
This week, is like 1.5 hr or 2hrly .. oso driving me crazy… I oso duno if I have milk, but jus give him to suckle til he sleep at my breast..

I really hope bb will stable down soon tat I able to tell when he will awake when he will wan feed , or else I cant plan anything! Whenver I go restraurant(dim sum bar or sushi bar) with my hubby we will like hurry to eat up all food before baby awake! So sianz.. when I bring bb to Johor Brahru durin his half month old,we oso very hurry, esp when he awake with hiccup no water, he wil fuss…

So now bb feeds is so unpredictable, unlike some mummies here noe their bb timming. I have since stopped looking at clock whenever bb cry & wan feeds…

Step,
Wow, you are so fantastic, how to change diapers in the dark? Heehee.. for me I guess I will stick to pampers, so far the Best!
Wow 2 weeks old only ur bb…. So an angel. So let mummy rest at nite… sigh.. my I cant even have a peace of time to take my meals… think bb dun wan me to eat wan me to lost weigh faster..

RAch,
So your CL Is like doing cleaning & cooking tat the ease only right… as TBF mummies dun really off help by CL one , tat what I thought initially. Tat is why I forgo to enage CL plus I very particular person.. and fussy person… and esp come to hygene and cleaniness.. I cant stay with stranger… I salute you , you able to sleep with her!! How to rest at nite for your case? If need to pump in the middle of nite, is like latching bb at nite too wat.. so wat the point to arrange CL to do nite shift or to feed bb with EBM? As you still need to pump regularily right?

 

[princess09]

Waiwai, michelle,
Just came back from hospital. my girl appetite is good. jus now i fed her 90ml of EBM. I dont think latch she can drink that volume. from now if i dont latch just to make sure she has enough milk. will my BM eventually become lesser? cos i heard fm my cousin that if don latch will bcome lesser so have to latch back then the milk will come again. is it true?

 

[flower4]

DOES HEAVY BREAST MAKE U LOOK FAT? even if you limps are slim!! argh..

 

[flower4]

Rach,
i never wrap my bb.. see like very kan koi whenever he wish to move..

any mummies here, their bb like to lick their mittens? and their move their hand so hard and hit on thier own head?

 

[crystalz]

Sarah,

under light is hot.. so they will drink more milk.

I'm purely expressing.. my milk never decrease... just need to pump 3hrly to prevent the milk get lesser.

 

[princess09]

flower4,
confirm looks abit plump. im small size but my boop is big. lol... thats y looks abit fat. today just start my post natal massage. my massager also said my boop big. she say if i run along road side will cause car accident. she is a joker. haa...

 

[pamelia]

JUL!!!

Miss you!!! I hope you are coping well with Sam...

I am also mainly coping on my own, and my MIL only cooks and prepares abit here and there... * Hugs *
It'll all tide by in time to come ya? We're all tired mommies here. =3

 

[pamelia]

flower,

My BB like's to lick her mittens, But she doesn't smack her head... She just likes to cover her face.. XD Maybe your BB too much strength.. Cannot control.

 

[princess09]

crystalz,
hmm. i tink i shall pump out. before my girl admit hospital she woke up every hr 1st night. reli taxing. 2nd day 1 pump out 40 ml to feed her before she went to sleep. after that she woke up after 4 hrs. i was so happy. at least not like the fengshui master said my girl is noisy at night de.

 

[myfavchoco]

flower,

ur baby also wan milk so frequent? my baby also.
i thought only my baby so fast hungry. now he wan milk every 2 hour. btw, wat is growing spurt??

 

[mwerkz]

flower4> lol. nvm la. if got room. wear nursing top or not oso can pump. cannot b go buy so many nursing top to wear to wk everyday? else everyday wear same clothes meh =p

haha. my boy oso like to lick his mitten n he like to move his hands alot, look like superman learning hwo to fly, but definitely nv hit his own head =p

sarah> dun latch wun make ur supply lesser, as long as u pump enugh

myfavchoco> growth spurts is ur bb appetite getting bigger, so he need help u boost ur supply, thus waking up more often for their feed. dun worry. slowly will be back to normal. usually happens ard 2-3wk n 4-6wk old bb, can last anytime btw 2days to a wk. so juz tahan awhile

can read more here: http://kellymom.com/bf/normal/growth-spurt.html

 

[itsy]

<font color="119911">flower4</font>
Haha our bb same pattern! My boy likes to suck on mitten and 'hit' his own head too! HAha
Wah, you still managed to go restaurant and JB! The only places I went to was my Gynae and his PD, dun really dare to go out cos he's so fussy. Cries all the time... dunno if it's cos I was upset most of the time when I was preg, so now I have a fussy cry bb. Sigh..

I hope it's growth spurt and it'll be over soon.. I'm so tired from feeding him and without rest, my milk supply so low and my temper also going haywire! No time to eat or go loo. Luckily my mum comes over in the evening, at least I can get a bit of rest.

 

[princess09]

Michelle,
Means have to be like you, set alarm clock to wake myself up?

*Full month cakes*
Anyone order from sweet momoents?

 

[stephie1735]

itsy... aiyo... possible leh.. cause I was also very upset when pregnant then my baby also very fussy and clingy

 

[stephie1735]

By the way, anyone tried Ecreative's buffet?

Can comment?

 

[hanabiwaiwai]

Sarah:
just make sure u pump frequently when baby is home. supply = demand... more latching / pumping = more milk!

 

[flower4]

Sarah,
So many sacrifices to be a mum. I have ye to lose pregnant weight and now with extra heavy breast.. so look even more FAT!! Zz haha, ur massager so funny..

Pam, michelle,

[pamelia]

Mwerkz,

LOL.. You use masking tape... Champion!

My BB's mittens keep falling off too.. Passing phase.. It's a passing phase... They'll grow!

 

[myfavchoco]

flower4,

my baby is 32days now. hw about yours??
really tired to feed them so frequent.

 

[peanutbutter]

i hate mittens, cos very troublesome to keep them on. that's why i only wore them for my boy when he was in the hospital. once i reached home, i trimmed his nails and didn't let him wear mittens anymore. he was exploring his fingers yesterday, and managed to successfully jam a thumb into his mouth to suckle. but then he tried again with his other hand, and couldn't get the fingers to go into his mouth, hee so cute.

am eating a super late dinner now cos my two boys kept me busy from 6pm till now. going to wake the younger one up for his milk at 10.45pm.

 

[ginack]

DAMN.. the mac downstairs close liao!! I want to eat FRIES!!! ROAR!!!!! why are they closed so early?!?!?!?!!!

 

[pamelia]

Gina,

Yeah.. Moomoo mommies with Moomoo babies.

I heard if you're put on drips the contractions would be a killer. Wait for the moment would be better? Tremors? What Tremors? I didn't feel a thing.

Eat as you may.. once they put that thing in your ass... You'd dash to the toilet like you've never felt that urgent before!

 

[stephie1735]

[peanutbutter]

just finished feeding my boy his milk, but he didn't empty the breasts as usual.

actually, i am more energetic and well rested after i gave birth. cos before i gave birth, the eczema was keeping me up every single night for the third trimester. some days i sleep less than 3 hours. now, i definitely get more rest than before, even if i have to wake up twice to feed =)

 

[stephie1735]

Milkyway,

Old already loh.. after 4 kids, body cannot make it liao... Yeh.. I started early and now still struggling loh.. lol... I was 19 at that time cause my birthday is in Dec and my eldest boy born on 2nd Jan.. hahah so strictly speaking, I just passed my 19th Birthday 2 weeks before he was born.. hahaha

 

[jul_04]

yawn.. just finished pumping..

Gina, u still not popped??

 

[ginack]

jul_04: haven pop haven pop!! I am officially a Oct mum! XD

 

[pamelia]

JUL!

 

[pamelia]

Stephanie,
There are 3 moomoo mommies with 3 moomoo babies in this thread. =3

My arms are breaking!

She wants to sleep in my arms... Gonna try to put her down now...

 

[peanutbutter]

stephanie,
19 to give birth is considered super duper early for people of our generation! my mum was 19 when she gave birth to me too, so now she's a grandmother of 2 at 48 years old. but she's from a different generation. think in the past give birth at 19 considered early, but not rare.

 

[stephie1735]

Pamelia, Wah... 3 24 year old mummies.. cool!

Maybe you can try using sling?


sandwich, yah.. I was a single mum back then.. hahah... adventure! lol

My mummy is 55 now and grandma of 4.. ppl sometimes mistake her for being the mother.. hahahah

 

[pamelia]

Stephanie,

I will get the sling..

When I get out of this house after 1 mth!!! 2 weeks more to go!

 

[purpleclouds]

sandwich - How you manage to cut your boy's fingernails? I want to cut my girl's fingernails as it's long and her face got scratched because of her nails!

Is it advisable to intro the pacifier now? or must wait till after 1 month?

coz bb drink EBM tend to sleep longer for my case...
at least she dun need to suck so hard to get her milk..take shorter time to drink..and can last longer.

will it be soon over for u?
once confinement over it'll be better? hee..

Jiayou!

 

[shelled]

For the FIRST TIME, I manage to pump and have 2 letdown for each boob! But it's damn perverted in a way cos I have to stimulate my left nipple while I pump my right breast, and vice versa. Like very 变态 lor!! Suddenly I really very gian to buy dual electric pump lah, but so not worth it when I am only going to use it once or twice a day...

I've been pumping every night cos I want K to drink the 5 bottles of frozen EBM. I don't want to use Pigeon storage bottles anymore cos it takes too damn long to warm up. My hubs complain.

Now storing as MilkSticks using the MilkTray. Really very good leh!!

Last time I said I would "review" it after I use, so now I can tell you all liao lor... DAMN GOOD LAH. MUST BUY.

<font color="ff0099">Re: Storing EBM as milksticks using Milk Trays </font>

I don't feel stressed pumping and storing EBM using milksticks cos I can immediately freeze whatever I pump. No need to keep in fridge to combine with next pumping session. Until I sibei stress cos K drinks ard 100ml and I can only pump ard 40ml/boob last time.

Then my hubs ask me to store 150ml per bottle, must have extra "just in case" K is extra hungry. So I have to pump about FOUR TIMES in order to accumulate enough to store just ONE BOTTLE.

But with Milk Tray, I don't have to stress about my BM "expiring" in the fridge while I pump many times to accumulate 1 bottle to freeze. I just freeze whatever I get, and no need to keep track of how long my BM has been in the fridge lah, then must chill the subsequent EBM before I can combine lah, then must use a clean bottle to pump+chill, then can combine. Then end up so much stuff to wash/sterilise later.

Now after pump straightaway can freeze!! No need to do so much extra work and stress.

Pumping is so xinku. I applaud all of you pumping mommies!! Gimme full-time pumping I sure stress until ki siao.

mummies

im currently breastfeeding my gal (abt 11 day old bb), no formula supplement.

wanna ask if it is normal for my bb to go without feed for more than 8 hrs?

she last fed at 8+pm just now.
suspect she is over-tired cos she didnt sleep much this afternoon

 

[zola]

Are your friends, colleague or you yourself looking for a Reliable Philippines, Indonesian Maid? If yes, please do not hesitate to call Lilian, one to one home service. or you can email her @ [email protected]

 

[shelled]

<font color="ff0099">xiaowei</font>
Erm... it's not exactly normal. And not advisable also. Maximum amt of time that newborns should be allowed to go without feeding is ard 6 hours.
Usually even if overtired also won't sleep until 8 hours so long leh.
If you would also like to rest for a longer time, then try not to exceed 6hrs before you wake her up to BF, otherwise I dunno how you will cope with the engorgement! (Other than to pump, that is.)
