yes, can take fenugreek n dop concurrently. my gynae said it's very safe. can get from pharmacy but not sure if u need a prescription for it.

pam

think sleeping for 7hrs is ok. in fact, if u notice my lack of attendance at nite for the past wk, i think the rest has helped to up my ss.

bbq

1) leave him in his cot
2) put him on my bed
3) leave him on his playgym
4) carry, hug n tok to him
5) latch him. lol =x

kam> wah. ur nanny really ez job. ur nanny charge how much? if good pay i be ur bb's nanny can? =x

ling> i oso pour n seal upright. usually will pour when i try very hard to squeeze all de air bubbles out. hubby is better at squeezing out air bubbles n not as butter fingers as me =p

My baby used to have one bottle of FM every night now changed to BM cos she started sleeping till 4.30am, so I have enuf milk to pump (I usually pump once a day at around 11.30pm, lazy). Now she's refusing the bottle. Tried everything, different ppl feeding, changed teat etc etc. Argh, driving me nuts and I'm worried cos what happens when I go back to work?
sad.gif
I know it happens around this age but...
Help?
 
jul,
i'm reluctant to take medication medication to produce BM. as it is, taking fenugreek, i find that i'm smelling alittle funny. not loving it! :/

jul, bbq98,
from 200ml a day to 800ml a day. so whats the pumping interval like? every how many hours u gals pump and pump for how long? when u take fenugreek, u said u took 6 tablets, at how many hrs apart may i ask? i'm wondering if i'm taking it too many hrs apart or not, thats why its like not working. i'm taking 6-7hrs apart.

eunice,
actually i've a friend, her bb also poo once every 3 days, seems like ok leh..her bb is very healthy. so maybe nothings wrong...don't worry too much. if u're concerned, check with your PD.
i'm not sure if pooing 3-4 days considered constipated or not. but seems like for my gal's case, it doesn't affect her at all. she takes 75% or more in fact of FM (coz i really don't know how much BM she gets when latching) and her poo is 2-3 times a day. there are days when she will poo once only..but thats normally when her intake fluctuates to take in lesser milk. eg. usually her total daily intake is 750ml, somedays (don't ask me why, but according to PD its normal) it can drop to abt 550ml. almost like taking 1 or 2 feeds lesser!

michelle,
your menses is back? if menses back will it affect BM supply?

wah...u got 'system' for doing things with your boy.lol. sometimes when my gal is awake for long hrs during the day, i don't know what to do with her. then i'd try my best to quickly pat her to sleep. somedays i can see that she is super alert, doesn't want to sleep at all...but i still like 'force' her to sleep coz else i can't do other things...or don't know what to do with her. i'm such a bad mom hor? haiz...

bbq98,
so your boy looks like michelle's boy? keke.. actually i think alot of babies look alike! like that time ling was saying her gal looks like mine. and i was telling mamato6js, her boy looks like my gal..also high forehead and the shape of the eyes. :p
 
kiki> haha. dunno if my supply drop oso. aiyah. after 4.5hrs of no pump n latch, i manage to get erms. let me see - 225ml after 30mins of pumping. -_-" so pathetic. think de main prob is my punmp!! grrs

haha. not bad mum la. juz play with her lo. keep her entertained :p

Kiki,

I pump at regular 6 hr interval and I take two tablets at my first and last session. Each session about 15-20 mins (dual pump). I think, for me, it's the mentality that helps, not so much of the Fernugreek. Initially, I was pumping at regular 2-3 hr interval plus latching. Very stressful because I had needed to provide for 2 babies and yet my bm was insufficient. Then, I wanted to give up bfeeding and that was when my supply gradually increased.

Actually, i don't think fernugreek works for me because I was taking it initially but saw no improvement. Now, I am taking them again because I didn't want to waste my bottle. I only started taking after the supply went up.
 
wah. everyday got pple bdae one?

jul> happy bdae to u. yaya, i oso wish tat may u have milk supply so much that u have alot excess to supplement my son when i got not enugh =x

Pamelia, how you manage to keep track of their birthdays??

Milkway, happy birthday to you too and may your milk flow like river :p
 
bbq98,
hmm...so do u intend to stop taking fenugreek after u finish the bottle? actually i think it probably doesn't work for me too. but i'm still hoping it will somehow someday.
sad.gif
i'm taking 3caps each time leh...9caps/day!! sian... sometimes i can pump over 1hr and still yield the amt pathetic amt. not even 50ml. actually i gave up pumping already, i'm just latching nowadays.

jul, milkyway,
happy birthday!!
 
<font color="#6600ff">Kiki</font>

I'm on my 3rd bottle of Fenugreek already. If it keeps my supply up. I don't mind to carry on taking it. I will stop somewhere next year and see if my supply maintains as it is. =3
 
Yes, actually I am contemplating if I should stop bfeeding soon. But a bit wasted now that I finally have milk. I definitely won't want to continue once I go back to work next year.

I tell you what is pathetic - initially, I had to hand squeeze to get milk out (because the pump couldn't seem to "extract" anything) and can't even get 20ml per session.
 
my baby is aleady 11 wks old, not sure if taking fenugreek now will still help? i have tried few types of soups which supposedly will help to increase the milk flow, but doesnt really seem to work on me

<font color="aa00aa">Pam</font> - Noted... I think the No Soy no Wheat is "Allergen Free"... so means ppl whom are allergic can take? Just my guess lah.. heheh

<font color="aa00aa">mwerkz</font> - Different order but same shipment to SG.... like that mummies can save on base charge but I will only order 2 orders if got mummies want Fenugreek. Else think 20bottles is enough.

<font color="ff0000"><font size="+1">Jul &amp; Milkyway</font></font> - Happy Birthday!!! Stay Pretty always k?

<font color="aa00aa">eboey</font> - It will help one... During my #3 time, I didn't take immediately.. I only got to know about Fenugreek when baby was few months old... Think 2 if I'm not wrong... so its never too late to start one..
 
Baby finally slept after fussing the whole night... think he was not feeling very well after the vaccination this morning..
sad.gif


I'm so tired carrying him the whole night

Now got to go express milk and then go to lalaland.. lol

steph

"she bu de wo leh" -- faintz haha

michelle

it's a drug called doperidine - think it's actually a flu med? can't rem how much, but i got it from my gynae one.

but the ifc will warm the ebm using the pigeon bots right? what if they take too long to warm the milk n ur boy is screaming in hunger? just a tot lah

marie

have u tried not-warm milk? heard some bbs actually prefer that when they're on milk strike

kiki

i take fenugreek at the 3 meals, depending on when i get to eat haha. 2caps every time, 3x a day.

actually my gynae said they prescribe doperidine together with fenugreek. but yeah, i also smell funny. pee smells funny too. i complained to my gynae n she said i must have taken a lot haha.

it's up to u whether u wanna try dop lor. i din even know abt it until i complained to my gynae abt milk supply. then when she told me abt it, i asked her why isn't it prescribed more readily. she told me they do, but i nvr say i got supply prob. hiaz..

sometimes i pump 4-hourly, sometimes 8-hourly, depending on my schedule. it's really not fixed. but i try to pump 5x a day, sometimes 6x if sam cooperates n i dun oversleep n forget to wake up to pump.
 
milkyway

We have the same bday???

michelle

Supplement ur boy? *faintz*

Oh u got ur menses huh? Strange.. why shelled n u both kena so soon? *prays hard for mine to stay away*

kiki

Could it be u're too stressed? Dun pump 1 hr lah, stop at most at 30min.

But hor, my supply went up after I stopped latching n only pumped. Maybe I was just too busy latching n pumping, plus Sam had reflux n I was feeding him 2-hourly. Imagine??? Feed him 30min, burp &amp; carry him upight 30min, pump 30min, then only rest 30min to next latching, where got milk???
 
Pam

I'm on my 5th bot of fenugreek!

eunice

Yup, it's not too late to start.

gina

How come u got stretch maks AFTER delivery? *looks down at her flabby tummy, lifts it up to check the underside*
 
<font color="ee1289"><font size="+1">Michelle</font></font>
ya loh.. no need to beg her drink... in the last 24hours period..she only fed 6 times...
9am, 12pm, 330pm, 7pm, 12am, 420am.....which i just last latched her.. amazing....


<font color="ee1289"><font size="+1">Ling</font></font>
yah.the 1st time i googled and read.. ooh..that time is green poo with blood.. i googled that...
coz there was once she got a drop of blood in her poo..wah lao..the answers i found scared me to death..

nope.. i'm not using the same color as hers.. mine is darker...hers is brighter...
had a hard time trying to find a color i like that's not similar to anyone..
initially had a lighter one.. but tot it was pretty similar to urs...

aiyah..nvm... let me go try to find another... but the ones i want all turn out to be similar to another person's...
even though its NOT the same...
coz too sick of the "red" color.. but cant find another red that i like that doesnt just look red...
aiyah...watever color i put now...will look similar to somebody's... someone will bound to say the same..
there're people who's using red also..thats why i wanted to change to something else..
but my main purpose is not to similate shelled, if anyone actually thinks so...
not so free to purposely go find a color SAME as somebody and copy...
there's thousand and 1 code..


<font color="cd6889"><font size="+1">kiki</font></font>
now i entertain with flash cards!! i had the same question initially and thats why i bought the flash cards..
