Surprisingly, dun think its v heavy 4 her. She wasn’t v well-endowed prior to bfg so right now, her boobs fill up juz nicely. She said she dun feel engorged or heavy. And she does not hv a strict schedule when to pump etc. suka suka then she pump. On rare days when she had engorgement, it will definitely lead to a fever 4 her, juz like yesterday.
I am super KS lah, I even pump when I wake up to feed RN at night. I am only latching her on 1 boob each time so I will pump the other. Once my ss established alrdy, I am gg to drag the expressing time at nite. So tiring!
Its gd tt u r not gg back to work soon so no need to store yet. 4 me, I pump mainly to get ss, not so much to store (thou my freezer is gg to b full soon) as the chilled ones are enuff for the time being and I still can give some to my son. Oh my sis has been telling the kids tt they r drinking”fresh milk” tt needs to be warmed up! Heee… my son is perfectly ok wif BM while my niece initially gagged. Now she is ok alrdy.
If its juz a day tt u dun pump, dun think will affect ss. But seriously all these pumping business is v tiring… pump, wash, sterilize, process repeats…
If RN can latch more efficiently, then I dun hv to worry abt ss so much.
Hey try to donate out ur FBM then… but urs all stored in VIA cups rite? So they gotta b returned. Mine all in milk bags…
WOW! Such a scrumptious dinner!!!!
Aiyah even if my hb is ard during wkends, he cant v much entertain RN if she is in one of her fussy moods. But then hvg someone ard is better than none. I am always at my mum’s plc during wkdays. It’s a childcare ctr here but at least there is someone to help me wif. Besides RN is on 3 EBM a day, so I need someone else to feed her.
U hv so much programs on during wkends? U know its juz so tiring to look aft RN tt I prefer to stay at home. So boring rite? Alrdy at home during wkdays (sometimes I pop oiut for a couplem of hrs to shop but quite rare) and I stay at home oso during wkends. But wif hb ard, I do like to go out together. Juz tt my son is a handful!!!

This time round ur playmate will b big enuff. By the time we next gather, I think the babies r crawling all over the place alrdy! Hehee..

We’re mtg ard 10+am - 11am… haven firm up the timing though… U r welcome to join us!
Yeah RN is on tbfg… and I am not worried abt her jaundice coz my elder son was stuck wif it for 7 wks b4 it eventually came down. So I am certain it’s the same thing 4 RN. Anyway its showing signs of clearing alrdy. Thks 4 ur suggestion. Besides a blood test was done when she was wk 5 and I doubt its BM jaundice since PD din mention. He said juz leave it be. There is not much danger to babies at 5 wks alrdy (her level was the same when she had to be admitted at 6 days old).

Wow! Ur PD operates even at such hrs during wkends?
I dun put on mittens for RN anymore but thks so much 4 ur kind offer!

U tried applying ru yee oil when u suspect he has wind? Or if he likes to stay awake fr 1-7pm frequently, it might juz b it lah. Anyway it doesn’t affect his night sleep rite?
Ohhhh!!! I am guilty of co-sleep latching ALL the time! Esp coz RN takes a long time to latch. Last nite I latched her at 3am… I pumped the other boob then lie down to nurse her. I fell asleep and woke up at 4.30am, she was still latching away!!!! The gd thing is she managed to get a gd feed and slept till 7.30am tdy. But it doesn’t happen every night lah.

ME me!!! I still wake up to express. But its usually when RN is feeding, I express the other boob. V pia-miah! Yeah, I was oso thinking its craziness to continue this way esp when we r back at work. But fr my experience, once ss is established, u can drag expressing time. I rem back then if my son is not wif me at night, I will pump at 11pm and wake up at 6am to express.
Tien
Its ok if YX can sleep more at nite! Tt sounds so gd!!! Hee…
RN is one of the fussy babies… she will inevitably fuss ard 10+ to 11pm and the only way I can settle her is to latch her to sleep… and b4 tt I hv to ensure she is filled up so she will sleep for the next 4-5 hrs… its darn tiring… hoping it will pass soon!

I only hv 2 pcs of nursing wear in my wardrobe… hahaha…. They r so darn exp and not nice. So most times I am wearing tube tops or halter necks tt can easily b pulled down when I nurse.
