pigsy>> i also BTH, after the delivery, i bathed in the hospital on the 3rd day too.. too niam already and my hair so oily and im tinking i so unhygienic, how to handle my baby properly!
PY>> i bathe everyday after i was discharged from hospital.. i try to wash my hair once every 2 days (so far only succeed not washing my hair 3 times).. and yes, i use facial foam and shower gel.. i bathe just like any normal day except that its with a pail of herbal water..

PY: it is like that one.. baby blues they call it.. plus post natel hormones.. all emotions haywired liao.. keep getting furstrated and lose our cool lor.. dun say post natel lah.. now i already PRE-natel liao. i keep getting frustrated/moody/sian over.. NOTHING!.. hence not posting lor.. Loke also the same .. hahaha. then we msn one another. keep hearing one another say 'sian!'.. hahahhaha
anyway.. what u have now is not PND yet.. i went see pyscharist last time with teng.. i was having post natel anxiety. also not post natel depression yet.. so post natel depression is really bad.. to the extent of sucidal tendencies etc.. SO.. i am 'monitoring' u..
u are still okok
.. dun control too much but at the same time .. BREATHE.. dun let it over whelm u.. slowly.. one thing at a time.. tell ur hb.. if u kancheong liao.. then he must keep cool. cannot he kancheong with u.. then both become overtly kancheong
I think when mdm Rokiah comes in to massage for u. u cld get her to show u the latch again.. i saved her number liao..
ya.. bb's skin is quite delicate.. if need lotion.. must be very mild kind.. i find those off the shelves lotion too cloging' for teng last time.. i bought the goat milk moisturiser for teng.. from Drugstore.. am thinking of using that sparingly on yu he also..
Teng asked bear bear.. 'bear bear, are u a good bear bear?' then he helped bear bear reply 'yes i am a good bear bear' :S then he told him about his day .. he went swmming.. and he screamed lor.. haiz.. this boy.. dunno what to do with him.. computer and internet. yes. coz sometimes teng notti.. he tends to take a long time to finish his evening milk.. so i sometimes distract him by showing him some images of animals to coax him to drink faster.. so he will tell me 'mama.. i want to .. see.. hmmm .FOUR giraffes'.. so i got to google images of FOUR giraffes for him lor :S
aiyoh. CL sleeping on ur bed?! :S we bought her a bed.. eh. actually that is our guest room lah.. no way i will allow a stranger to sleep on my bed meh. so far only ellie an my mother.. coz they needed to look after teng when miser and i away on holidays or outside.. when teng was still sleeping in my room lah.. now no more..
that's what my hb told me too. might have a worse one when i wanted to change her that time! argh. men are lazy creatures :S
ok.. tracing archive now..

Hello,
Managed to find some time to pop in tonight.
PY: Regarding breast engogement, try massaging and pumping your breasts as often as you can. I tried that and it works for me. i will feel a lump, then sor sor it using my palm (i find fingers too painful and too direct pressure) for a while, then hand pump. The lump may not dissipate immediately, but i thought the heat from our palms do ease the congestion a little.
It's normal to feel down, you are not alone, most of us are in it too *hugs*. I had my woes too, and was sobbing uncontrollably at one point. My baby was crying, and i was sobbing even louder, and he suddenly stopped and looked at me in bewilderment. They are very sensitive to their mummies's feelings, so we need to be careful not to send any negative vibes.
Now my latest woes is CL. The initial confinement was handled by my mum. After some disagreement, i moved home and managed to get a CL last minute. My CL food is good. But one thing i cannot agree on is her feeding schedule. By right for new borns, we are supposed to feed every 3 hours. But she simply refuse to let me wake my baby up to feed. her logic is if baby is hungry, he will cry. If he is not hungry, he is supposed to sleep! If he is awake, i need to suckle him till he sleep. And because of this, i only manage to feed my baby 6 times a day cos he is a long sleeper (>5 hrs). And because of the long stretch, he wakes up super hungry and can latch on both breasts for more than an hour, making my nipples feel like an electric fence. (a slight brush will send electricity round my whole body, cos they are soooo sensitive). My main worry is more if baby is getting sufficient nutrients and water with the long sleep. I think she is plain lazy lor. If baby wakes up more often, she has to fuss with him more, thats why she keep asking me to feed him to sleep. The less he wakes up, the lesser she has to bother with him.
And one more thing, she bundle my baby so tightly up until i heart pain. When he wakes up, he can only kick his legs. His hands will be bounded so tighly in the diaper cloth (machiasm being kidnapped, or how those crazy people are bounded in the IMH), that his little body can only jerk up and down. I dun want to argue with her cos she already quite nice to come help me at last min notice, So everytime, she is not looking, i will unbound my baby a little.
haiz, confinement is really not easy
hey by the way, they say feed baby every 3 hours. Its from the time baby starts his feed, or after he finish? I'm a little unsure here cos i have been timing based on everytime he starts his feed

ameda breast pump and feeding baby :
i think i am going to be like hunchback of notre dame soon.
tried using bf pillow the weight of baby sits on my stomach. v uncomfi.
if use hand to support wrist start to hurt.
the breast pump thing need to lean forward a bit.
i need serious back massage.
Any suggestions on better positioning?
ginger : yalo. i think i oso overstocked on the maternity pads. am now Day 7 and flow is little. normal sanitary pad can do the job.
glass : abt the soup to clear blood clots, is it sheng hua thang? the one gotta boil 3 bowl of water with e herbs till become 1 bowl.

Hahaha, my CL also use the diaper cloth to wrap him up. Then I also commented that my son looks like he's in the asylum, then she laughed. so now she doesn't tie up so tightly. Now my son looks like a chef, waving wildly, and then the nappy cover his legs, and he kicks and kicks.
sometimes he even kicks my other breast during feeding. super pain man.

PY >> re: rokiah - good news, hopefully she can solve yr prbs. but u prb still need to solve yr cracked/bleeding nipples ~ latching issue...are u seeing anyone from parentcraft?
i use shower gel with my herbal bath. just before night, i sponge down once more. have washed my hair everyday since delivery.
try your best not to cry anymore..i didn't believe this myth abt not crying during confinement..heck, my eyesight is suddenly alot worse now after my teary episodes so i better "ren"...prbs can be solved one at a time. when bb sleeps, drop everything and quickly sleep. when she's awake, time to become a cow again. that's the way it is for this one month..
Re: Feeding Water >> i had my reservations initially. however, i did try out with feeding Audrey 15ml (3 small tsps) before her morning/afternoon feeds and have seen the bilirubin level drop. i suppose you should only do it if you are comfy with the idea as all of us will have our own way of parenting. anyway, part of our human bilirubin is water soluble..

Mie mie: cos they come and insist they are more experience than us (which is quite true, cos me a bit karlang kar bok as 1st time mum) But what you say is also quite true lah, we shouldn't let them mishandle our baby if we are not comfortable. Will only add to our depression.

<font color="0000ff">Hi mummies,
Just to update I have popped.
Date: 12 Oct 2009
Time: 1911hrs
BB Name: Malcolm
Weight: 3.475kg
Natural w epi
Am struggling to look after baby Malcolm and my no. 1 at the same time. Not latching coz bb doesn't wanna suckle at all. So i'm fully pumping and not getting much yield. Today is day 5 of bf-ing and I can only get 40-50ml after 1 hr of pumping. Pathetic. Was telling my mum, think i'll stop bf-ing totally after confinement coz once she goes back, dun think my maid and i can handle 2 kids and still have the luxury of pumping for tat hour</font>

Nope, I din get the handsfree… dun think its necc for time being…
Dun mix FM & EBM. Why dun u give EBM 1st and top it up wif FM aft tt?
PY
Ur deal sounds good! I bot mine at isetan so as to offset my purchase wif the vouchers I hv at hand and will expire soon.
Yes hv heard tt some gynaes help to clean the inside of our wombs when they r stitching up so less lochia.
Glass
Some ppl’s lochia take a longer time to clear. Dun worry. Hv heard of frens whom’s lochia took abt a mth to clear.
Aria jo
This time round I dun hv to “sell”…. My #1 will help to finish it. I hope I get as much supply this time round.
Astro
Wah u r GOOD! Can put teng to bed and surf at the same time???? My son will sit up immed and demand to know wat I am doing. The room has to be complete darkness.
All the silly ppl tt says BM is not filling… WRONG concept! It shld be “BM is much more easily digestible as compared to FM! Tts y babies get hungry faster. And tts y BF babies poo more than FM fed ones.”
Siangjiao
Dun allow CL to ctrl baby’s feeding time. If u feed baby only 6 times a day, ur supply will nvr increase. In the daytime, wake bb up at least aft 3 hrs. If its night time, then I agree to leave them alone. I cant help feel sthg is wrong when a baby sleeps for >4 hrs at a stretch. Its just not right and their tiny stomach need to reload again, right?
3 hrs calculated fr start of the feed. Dun care how long he took to complete tt feed. Doesn’t matter.
Gal^
Dun hunch ur back. I find the only position tt helps is sitting up straight when u pump. Even this position causes some backache! During latching, u can assume more comfy position by leaning back on a few pillows.

Alritey, logging off. just finished one hr of feeding and my electric nipples are acting up again.
By the way, any tips to handle this situation... My breasts are leaky.How to prevent dripping all over other than wearing a bra (very uncomfortable to sleep in)
Goodnight mummies.. sleep tight tight

Gal,
the eyes look yelowish cos they cover the eyes whensun tanning. The forehead will also look yellowish. After discharge
expect the jaundice level to go upbut as long as below 15.2 then it's ok. Also according to pd, by day 9 baby liver would be matured and can pass out bilirubin.

Hi all who have not popped, I am 4 days past my EDD. Did a membrane sweeping on Friday (1 day past EDD) and I totally regret it. It was so painful. My gynea has to reach very deep in to do it and it hurts man (like having sex without lubricant) and I bled for one day (like day 3 menses) Paid the money, sufferred the pain and still no show...
My only worry now is that my water bag burst and I dunno. Because my gynea was the one who delivered me, i get to find out that I was a 6 days overdue baby too. My MIL told me my hb also. So I guess i have to wait. One good news is I am 0.5cm dilated last friday so I am waiting now.
To all mummies who have not popped, do not worry k? just got to wait, am sure bb will find a good timing to come out themselves (consoling myself... hehe). So Tien hang on.

Hey all mummies who have not popped or going to pop, try rolling your nipples or pulling/tugging your nipples to get ready for breastfeeding. I have been doing that so that I get used to the sensation to reduce probability of soreness or swelling later on. Experienced mummies, does this help?

PY: way to go gal... impressive 80ml! hope u had a gd night's sleep after expressing
was the strap n shield useful? i oso becoming hunchback after a while on the pump le.
last nite mil volunteered to jaga CL so husb n i slept thru the nite. i didnt bother to wake up to pump until tis morning but breasts got shooting pains... gd thing is the yield is more than usual. i better stop doing this to reduce risk of engorgement.
hippo: i got confused wif all the new frens i added on fb too, until i match names of bb in forum to photo albums on fb
meiting: ur gynae shd alert u if ur placenta shows signs of aging. in class, we were taught that the placenta nutrients can last abt a week past EDD, but then again EDD may not be accurate so better to check wif dr.
last nite mil volunteered to jaga CL so husb n i slept thru the nite. i didnt bother to wake up to pump until tis morning but breasts got shooting pains... gd thing is the yield is more than usual. i better stop doing this to reduce risk of engorgement.

re: jaundice
my boy's eye white also yellow. his tears are very thick n yellowish too. PD ever told us to monitor tears, pee n poo. he said if eye white got abit red, then must see dr immediately. then must pee n poo abt 5-6 times per day.
so far raining since we are discharged... no morning sun! and he hates to be stripped! duno wat to do
anybody knows if the yellowish tears are signs of infection or he is "discharging jaundice"?

btw hor.. sometimes i wasnt in time to express milk out for her.. so sometimes she on 100% FM..
should be ok lah hor?
gal> 1 hr very long leh.. sometimes i think it's v tiring for them to suckle the milk out and end up they fell asleep.. v hard to measure how much or is it enough anot unless we pump it out ... but then again, latching is the best lah. aiyoh i dunno leh v in a dilemma also =\
