vodkarib,
u r less than a wk aft delivery. the amt expressed will not b alot. i think i was expressing per boob like 10 mins to 15 mins max when my son was 6 day old and he was hospitalised for jaundice. dun "overwork" ur boobs. they will become too sore fr expressing. as long as u perserve in expressing and at regular intervals (3 hrs), i am sure ur supply will increase v soon.
think u can get the glass bottles cap fr the TMC pharmacy? not sure leh, coz i din buy and was fully latching then.
aria jo
frozen BM can store up to 6 mths provided its deep freezer. def not those we hv at home. unless u get a separate freezer juz to keep BM. the recommended guidelines is to store 6-8 wks max in our normal freezer, given tt we open up the freezer door say once a day or even perhaps several times a day. the temp fluctuation does affect the FBM as well. it doesnt mean tt a baby will def get sick if they consume milk tt has been stored longer than the recommended guidelines but better to b safe than sorry. hope i din offend u.
coz even when i donate all my FBM, i oso made sure the stash is cleared within 6 wks. I wld feel responsible if anything happened to the baby tt drank my BM.

I think u r more kan cheong coz u r a medical staff urself n u can understd all the codes they r using. But its a blessing tt both u & baby are safe & sound.
its impt to feel safe & comfy wif ur gynae. So wif one bad experience, i am quite certain u will not go back to her again.

I am v particular when ppl pronounce/spell names wrongly. I will always correct the person.
Soreness can b eased by walking??? somehow i juz feel relieved when i am sitting or lying down. its worse if i am feel my urine bladder full. wah liew, gotta practically hold my lower abdomen to support it. so cartoon looking!
