i alternate my hands when i pump by hands lor..kekeke.. must use every fingers and thumbs so that the entire breasts can be massaged..sometimes i also place the bottle on the table and just use my 8 fingers and 2 thumbs simultaneously..kekek..
kam
glad to hear your girl is recovering already...babies do take a much longer time to recover than adults as they can't spit out the phlegm nor blow their noses! hee.... yea, i also believe she is recovering fast cuz of your breast milk! the two of you stay together mah, so if your body is producing antibodies against the viruses at home and your girl is drinking your milk, of cuz she gets the antibodies too!
flower
yup, i tried the sacred tea before. i bought two packets and they work very well..however i am trying my best to go without supplements. so far so good for now. do you know that intake of oats help to product milk too?

Michelle> sign.. i have to walk from my office (hitachi tower) to company's main building (battery rd) to pump.. thats like 15mins spend on walking and changing pass to use the lift of e main building.
i try to shorten e pumping session by using the pump and at e same time my fingers to massage and squeeze my breast... but still need ard 25mins to clear both breasts lo.
today as it was e 3rd day back at wk, my pass was still not activated for access to the mummy's room, and no aunt cleaner around to open the door for me i had to skip 1 pumping session! so stupid right... the reception where the mummy's room was located also dont have the access card!!! said it was to ensure that mummies' milk will not be stolen from the fridge!
so it was like 8hr interval today bec i was v busy.. sign... hope will settle down at wk asap.
Milkyway>530am! so early... what time do you need to reach office? i wake up ard 705am, carry baby down put him in carseat, and my hubby will fetch him to my mil place. i go back will bath, pump then reach office ard 9am.

<font color="aa00aa">kudos to all working mummies!</font>
I remember when i returned back to work after my first one arrived in january 2009 it was a quite a struggle..like many of you, i latched on at 2plus, then 5plus, wake up at 6am and prepare for work. By 4th month, bb#1 was extremely clingy and would cry very loud when I leave for work at 6.30am. It broke my heart on various occasions and maid and i have pull us apart. At work I would pump once (or twice if time permits) and bring home the miserable 200ml of milk for bb's following day's feeding...
it was tough. it got even tougher when bb started teething and cried throughout the night. many a days i were a worried panda at work with no proper sleep. and soon, i realized i was pregnant with #2! the cycle went on......
<font color="0000ff">hair loss>></font>
my hair is also dropping mercilessly everywhere. it is even lagi more obvious against my white homogenous tiles! gosh. everywhere i go and i look down, i can practically see clumps of hair. i sneaked out to the hair salon two days ago and told the guy in there i need a treatment desperately! lol... i think we would drop hair for almost 6months (i.e. till bb turns about 10months old) but if you have any balding spots or thinning spots, best to get help before it's too late bah...

I have white homogenous tiles at home too and the hair on the floor look so disgusting. Got to vacuum all the time. I chopped off my long hair yesterday. Hair stylist commented that I'm starting t have a small bald patch at the top of my head! So I change hair parting and bought hair loss shampoo. Hope these helps and I can survive 6 months of hair loss.

Maybe you would like to invest in a small light. For me, I usually on the side light to feed or change my boy.
It's like that one. Husbands always think that we are enjoying our lives at home. haha...
Jassie, itsy
You might want to try to take the supplement that we took during the pregnancy. My colleague told me it works after I gave birth the 1st child.
mimosa, kris13, corinne
My company does not have a pumping room too. I use the utilities room. It's very dirty. Sometimes I can see small cockroaches running around. Haha... Now went to buy the cockroach trap to kill them. I've tendered and last day will be on Feb 17. Hopefully my new co has a decent room for me to pump. Not too sure if my new boss is "open" to the idea of BF.
My schedule of pumping is as follows:
6.45am - feed my boy
7am - pump
8am - leave the house for work
10am - pump in office
1.30pm - pump in office
5pm - pump in office
8.30pm - latch
9.30pm - pump
I will try to hand express after my son drinks in the middle of the night. It will be his call liao...

cutedevil - i also dun like to use my hubs' money! i still have income now, that's y still can spend $$$ on wad i want. sometimes so pek chek, want to buy stuff for baby if discuss with him, usually muz wait for him to think. so now if not too ex i will juz go ahead and buy myself if not wait until sky drop ah...
last time when i tried to make baby sleep at night, he so buay zi dong will still do his stuff loudly, ie bang table, walk loudly, etc, end up baby keep waking up and poor me keep having to pacify him... super angry! now i let him pacify baby to sleep then he know not easy, somemore will ask me to do things quietly! so for me, to make him understand, i ask him to look after baby more. cos at home looking after baby and doing housework, more tiring sometimes than going outside to work leh!

Husbands again: Root of evreything bad
Oh no! Complains about this dept again! Hahaha...
Anyway, with regards to Marc and his room, we actually have a small table light from IKEA. To make it less bright, we've placed a book round it so the light basically lights from the top. It's definitely less glaring and also softens the tone in the room.
Honestly, I don't think husbands think you gals are enjoying life at home, but perhaps they just want to grumble about work. I'm home on some days and I see how Marc can keep anyone very busy. I'm sure your hubbies would realise that too if you left the baby to him for half a day, and give him some simple household chores.
Have a good lunch everyone!

<font color="0000ff">Nursing Room</font> - My company have nursing rooms here but I have to take the lift and go 12 storeys up...
Still quite a decent one, think converted from store room. Got a couple of shelf with boxes but also got 4 small arm chairs and 1 side table.
Feel a bit ley cheh to go up with my bag full of stuff and laptop.. but normally meeting rooms are are fully booked... If got meeting rooms available, as they are very open - got glass panels that is visible from inside office and from opposite building, I will use the nursing poncho to pump. if not I can also choose to pull down 4 blinds (which can take forever) but I realised that its a waste of time cause I can block visibility from opposite building but ppl within office can still see.. hahaha so I use the poncho
I still remember that I used to pump in the toilet during my #3 times and it was quite tramatic. Well, although not the cleanest but I did have full privacy.. lol
But ultimately, I was very happy to be able to pump for my baby so no regrets

Cutedevil,
Agree with Rach, ask hubby to take care bb at night and u go kai kai. See what happen.
The 1st time I tried, He called at 9pm and ask when come back. When I reach home at 1130pm, both still awake in the bedroom. After a few round, he ok with it and by 1130pm, both are asleep.

I tried the sacred tea before. My supply did increase but not by so much la. Can say it's not bad! I find it expensive though.
Re: Husbands
Last time when my girl cries at night for milk, i'm always the one waking up to give her drink, change her diapers etc and he will just be sleeping. It really got me fedup so i told him that he should get up as well and experience what i'm feeling. So now when she gets up at night, most of the times he'll feed her. Sometimes, men really need to let them experience what we have been doing. They can be a blockhead at times!

rashes near eyes
mummies, my girl suddenly got rashes near her eyes at the lower eye lids. is there anything i can apply without stinging her eyes? right now, i'm just cleaning with water and cotton ball. i think its her drooling and chewing on her fist, then she goes rubbing her eyes.
bib problem
these days lots of drooling, so today i decided to try let her use a bib. but she keeps playing and tagging at it and it keeps coming off! how ah like that?!

bernice, thanks for the info. Yes, agree that it's expensive, that's why i m still thinking whether to try it or not.
Re: Husbands..leaving baby with hubby alone at home is a great idea! But i so worried that my hubby cannot handle baby alone..only once that i went for a hair cut, then i left her with hubby for 2 hrs at home. She cries out loud as she wanna sleep, and fell asleep later on since she's so tired. Even at night, when my hubby tries to pacify her to sleep, she will cried out loud, in the end i still need to latch her to sleep. Me too like some of the mummies here, taking care of my baby alone at home, no helper at all!!
Infant care - any sept babies already in the infant care now? i will send my baby there on either 1sr or 4th feb, as gg back to work soon. But poor baby, need to wake up very early, and travel with us daily from sengkang to Jurong...just hope that she can adapts well to the centre ;p

How about applying calendula cream lightly on her eyes when she is sleeping?
Your bib is the velcro fastening kind? How about putting a scotch tape at the velcro there to fasten the bib onto her top?
--Shirley--
Heh, no harm buying 1 packet sacred tea to try out first. They do come in smaller packet, 3oz. Its really not bad. worth a try!!
Wow your infant care so far away from home...you work in Jurong isit?
--Crystalz--
Wow you still got time to cook! For me if i look after 2, i wldnt even have the time to cook!
