hapi hippo,
Does dieting affect your supply? I'm worried that my supply will dip if I go on diet leh..I'm eating a lot at the moment but luckily didn't put on weight lah. But I would still like to loose a few more kilos. My ideal weight will be abt 48-50kg but I don't want to lose the cup size though..hahah...

Thanks, Silver_Bellz... today heard from one of my friend that breastfeeding might not make you lose weight too.. argh.. i was so upset.. felt like giving up bf-ing and start losing weight.. nvtheless, thanks for your encouragement.
Mommy Tien - ya she arrived earlier, else i will be in the Nov thread.. haa..
Well, being chubby is a good sign that we are leading a good life ya.. I think it's good that we eat well and feed our bbs.. putting on weight is secondary.. we can try losing weight later..
oh ur gal woke up in the middle of the nite now? my gal used to wake up once or twice every nite.. usually 2am and 6am.. haa.. but before I return to work, i told her pls wake up just in time so that mommy can feed her, put her to sleep, pump milk and get ready for work. And voila she woke up at 5am on my first day of work.. (i planned to wake up at 5.45am to express milk)... so she was just in time.. these few days woke up at 5plus.. but this morning slightly early at 4plus. haiz.. im so tired havin to tc of her and work in the daytime.. but hope i can adapt to it soon.. i wish i could like u, taking NPL and enjoy ample time with my darling.. miss those time playing and sleeping with her

recently my girl started decreasing her milk intake by drinking at lesser intervals
i have no qualms abt her skipping one feed during the night as she sleeps through the night now, but NOT the bedtime feed! she's only having 6 feedings / day now; 4 out of which is being bottle-fed EBM by my maid. I feel so 'unwanted' cos i can only let her latch on for 2 feeds per day

xoxolight,
Haven figured out a way 2 put up e curtains in e car yet. I consider myself an old hand at handling a cryg baby needing 2 feed when we r out but gosh, am defeated by RN.
U stopped introducing e btl altogether? Or tryg it every nw & then?

Rooster & Moo,
My girl had not poo for the last 5 days. I have been feeding her with BM in day time and FM (once or twice) at nite. Made her drink water and gripe water (twice a day), she still cant poo. I was wondering what happened, then she poo. Speaking of mommy eating fruits seems to work, cos it works for me too

You can mix EBM from different timing. But you have to ensure that the milk are of the same temperature.
If you have a bottle of chilled EBM from 9am, you can only mix the EBM from 2pm provided that the 2pm portion is chilled to the same temperature as the 9am one.

I did not put any curtain. Just stick the sunshade on the windows when I bf.
But am considering to buy those mesh like material curtain from car accessories shop and install ourself.
Its something that look like tis http://www.flickr.com/photos/carcurtain/sets/72157600978672791/

my hb installed those in-car curtains for me prior to my girl's arrival. and we also had our car's windows tinted so that i could breastfeed in the car with much privacy.
the curtains are also good to block off sun shine during afternoons when baby is asleep in her carseat

Mummy Joy: Priness D is so guai! She knows you need her cooperation and so, she behave. My one...goodness! I think she play too much in the day and decides to feed at nite!!
Jrrt: Well, I am with you liao. Let's ganbatte together...as usual looking at it positively. Feeding at nite means can lose weight??? Hee...
Xoxo & Jrrt: Hmmm been wondering how the curtain can work cos I think it's a great idea to solve my CNY visiting woes! I think I must be the first person in the family to do tbf and at the same time baby can't take bottle well. So, I think they will feel weird (esp the older relatives) if I ask them to let me lock myself up in a room...so shall turn hubby's car into a mini nursing room! I am thinking of getting those sunshades...dunno if that will work??

Hi duracell,
abt e fore hindmilk imbalance, i experienced it b4 too. A tip dat worked for mi is to gently unlatch baby n allow letdown to settle b4 gv baby again... alternatively, can express out b4 latching but dat is more troublesome

without fail one...every time we hit her monthly mark (4th of the month)..she will fall sick or something. sigh..what is this? i was adamant we would NOT EXPERIENCE any sickness this month but sure as hell, she got a big bloody diaper ytd. today, my dear ikan bilis was like a floppy fish...no strength. i still cannot comprehend what i ate that gave her this bloody diaper. lagi worse. SF is pissed that i cannot figure out my "prb"...haiz. i am pissed with myself and pissed with him. then i had work. rushed off at 2pm, returned at 6pm. needless to say, my floppy ikan bilis didn't feed. SF tried to give her the bottle..such creamy milk - you could see a layer of fat in the bottle! but she didn't take to it. bit on the teat and just stared at him....now the bloody diaper is gone but she is still rather lethargic. and i am still pissed with him (and me)...
Tien >> thunder legs and thighs! muahahaha! that was very funny. ikan-bilis-with-slightly-less-thunder-thighs did the same to me ytd - woke up at 4am! very unfunny. but she was so sweet about it. no crying, just plenty of shuffling that woke us up...plus her big wide smile..so even when i just pumped at 3am....what to do? latch her lor...you be the chairperson of goondu club? OKOK ..looks like we have a healthy membership going erm, i be the secretary...though my note-taking is wonky, worthy of a Goondu secretary!
sunnyling >> OK, confirmed membership # 2 for Goondu Club
glass >> I am so miserly nowadays (astro, your miser is still the Miser..) but anyways...I find paying $20 for a bb haircut a little steep. But what made me SMILE today was I found out that Hwa Xia cuts at $10 (the plc that does the bb swimming)...being the goondu that i am, i did not cut ytd when i was there..it took me one big circle before I realised i can do it there..heh.
Mie >> That's great! Relief for belle
I am using Honeywell..
Feifei >> No problemo abt combining EBM till u get yr magic number ;p just ensure u store the ebm properly...
jRRt >> i sit at the back passenger seat. one end of the large towel, use a clothes peg, peg it to the seatbelt loop of the front passenger seat, then stretch the towel and peg the second end to the seatbelt loop of the back passenger seat. u are "covered on the remaining three sides by 1) front passenger seat, 2) child seat and 3) the seat you're on! muahahaha..total coverage unless of course, u join the goondu club and do silly things ;p...wah..maybe your RN is on a growth spurt?
rooster & moo >> I did consider the mesh..but it isn't total defence!
natalieL >> whoa! impressive..yr hb is leagues ahead and has foresight! i for one did not even rue this day that i got to flee to my car to latch..hehe...how i miss those "walkabout latching" days!
roxie >> you lazing about where? hey..thanks..i won't buy anymore books grin..i will just call you!!!
hippo >> that was a "can-the-ground-gift-a-hole-for-me" moment! muahahaha...ok, so u are goondu member #3...(aside to tien: u shld charge membership fees...very healthy nos...)..i really hate targets babe...any hint that this is a place with shifting goalposts? hmmm..your organisation not very mummy-friendly...? tough lah..u just joined, can't possibly demand too much too...audrey is also on the precipice of the 6! weighed her at the bb swim day ytd evening - 6.07! i give discount to the full diaper so thereabouts...

got a question on tummy time :
recently i switch to do tummy time at the playmat instead of the bed. I am concern whether when his face plop down to the mat when he is tired.. will it injure his nose? or the playmat is soft enough? no signs of flipping yet...nearly 4 mths old liew.

gal: angel now likes the bottle.. previously she loved it.. now i think she finds it soothing to chomp on my boobies. though still fuss at times. the expressed milk will be kept in the freezer.
mie: thank you very very very very much! i'll keep trying. technically speaking, my ML still hasn't ended yet. haha.. xoxo asked y i suddenly want to tbf.. seriously... i also dunno what came over me. maybe astro's pd inspired me.. maybe my fil's story about this african lady who just exposed her huge b and stuff her baby's mouth into it inspired me... (i thought it was funny though)... or maybe just my pride cos i just don't believe there's no milk. btw, thanks for the info on the books!
glass: yes. increased greatly, but it was tough before that..
silverbell: my pd said dark green poop is perfectly fine. less urine is also ok.. he said it goes to show that baby is absorbing everything from the bm. i cannot slowly unlatch angel.. she's a chomper. she'll scream if i do that. so i'll just latch n if she's hungry again, i'll latch on the same side..
hippo: jiayou in your work! i'm struggling here. haha... haven't get to try out the ameda pump yet. now i'm htinking if i should fully latch. which is what i've been doing. if i decide to do that.. then i'll have a human pump.. most efficient of all pumps. haha!
py: as a business owner, i understand that the retail price could probably be at least $50 (i.e. $49.90). if sold from internet i think max i'll pay only $20.

Good good dun mind a secretary! Calling for hippo! Need you to start collecting $$$. Sculli whole club only 3 of us! Anyway speaking of being goondu, I think it's helping me to work out! I can climb up n down the stairs at my mum's at least 2-3 times to finally remember what I want to take from my room!! Arghhh... Never felt so horrible abt my memory!

Py: the booties are soooooo cute! Hmmm if you are selling to me, can price at $10. If you are not then $20 is reasonable! Hiak hiak...
Loke: you r amazing! Talk about perseverance... Waiting for the day you start complaining abt bottle rejection!
Jrrt: I certainly hope yx won't decide to do nite feeds when I return to work. I will sure die given my work nature...actually ur case is not surprising. My pd did mention that babies will basically latch on you becos in the day they did not get to. You will notice that she purposely take in less bottled milk in the day just to wait for you to come hm.
Elly: think mummies in London r a bit more ks! In our case even if we want to register for p1, we can't do now. Hv to wait till the kids turn 6. But I hv heard of mummies signing up for their kids, preschool since the babies were born! They can happily be on waiting list for 18 months!

yesterday jab. this morning fever... angel's pee is dirty yellow... is there anything wrong with it?
xoxo: i think i'm CRAZY. haha. if she u-turns to love me more than the bottle, i think i'll be mroe than happy... cos then i can just bring her to the office. ILs will not say "y bring her to office? just give her milk powder lor"...
elly: thanks. with all the encouragement and help from mummies here from this thread, all things are possible! haha..
tien: hahaha.. seems like everybody waiting to see Angel cry at the sight of the bottle.. i don't know when that day would come... hahhaa..
py: people say babies are expensive.. but i say, baby girls are MORE expensive! haha.. $20 is a bit steep, but reasonable. $10 would be more than ideal. keke.

Loke: No lah..u know we are justing kidding. I think Angel wont reject bottle. She probably is versatile enough to take both liao.
xoxo: Oh dear...so, you brought Audrey to see the doc?
Not sure if you still want to try on Audrey. I actually succeeded in feeding YX 120 ml of ebm while carrying yx in the Bjorn a couple of days back when we were shopping in NTUC. She actually quietly drank it. I think walking around helps. Tiring it was but quite happy that she was not resisting. When you feel like it, you can try.

hi everyone.. things going great? all waiting for cny?
things aren't rosy for my family. frens on fb wld have seen teng's horrific looking rash. awaiting blood test results.. if tested positive for mycoplasma infection.. whole family has to be treated. inclusive of yh.. this prolonged bout of illness is outstaying its welcome.. i am drained
to make things 'worse'.. yh is rejecting to be latched.. cld have happened in the hopstial when he was on the bottles all the time to monitor his intake. his sleeping association is acting up aalso. wake up in the night screaming.. rejects paci.. for three nights in the row.. he wakes up and scream two hourly.. feeding is the onli thing that settles him. but feedhim. he takes too much milk. morning feeds all haywired..
i am now left thinking. fight again for him to latch on (no pt? coz eventually when i go back to work (end of feb) he needs to be on bottles again! so why make him cry for nothing?.. yet i'm in a dilemma because i endured so much jus tto latch him on. now he can latch better.. i let go just because of some unfavourable circumstances?
i seriously dunno.. mopping and depressed these days.. over theseissues.. swaying to and forth, yet to come to a conclusion. .. miser warns, i am starting to show the once familiar signs of going into depression again.. trying to stay chirpy.. but really v hard...
loke: congrats. life's ironic. i used to be the one encouraging u to keep latching.. and not give up.. now i think i need the encouragement.. and ouch.. if i have to interpret yh's preference for the bottle as 'not loving me'.. it is going to hurt more.. haiz.
wah liew. i sound so gloomy. i think i shd just MIA a bit. else i make the forum gloomy..
anyway. i am here just to drop a note abt early weaning.. hmm.. read that many of us are comtemplating weaning already.. a gentle word of advice. hold it.. till 6 mths. unless u have been advised by ur PD to do so for ur kid..
for 2 reasons
1- at this age.. the kid's stomach lining is still not mature enough to handle solids per se. introduced the wrong food, the stomach lining can be damaged and it hurts big time for the bb.. and damage is irreversible. hence weaning needs to be done when bb is ready.. and systematically .. wrong food introduced at the wrong time can cause bad consequences.
2. taking of solids cut the kids' appetite for milk
Milk (fm/bm) is really the onli thingy that our bbs need now. if we introduce solids at this age, we are removing their appetite for milk. as little as the solids amt they might be taking, it fills them up too quickly and as a result, they cut back on milk.. no good.. it affects calcium intake and might caused imbalance of nutrients for the bb.. in fact for 6 mths. solids are tasters.. milk stil main intake. till about 7 -8 mths.. then they start to have small meals per se and milk needs to be GRADUALLY cut back.. our kids are seriousy way too young to have breakfast, lunch and dinner on solids!
so.. if we cld. hold.. till bb turns 6 mths
and yes.. that book that roxy recommended is a good book. GF's book for weaning is also good.. ignore the schedule lah. but it helps to tell u which food kind to introduce and at which period.. and it helps to ensure weaning is done systematically and milk is not cut back too quickly. good tips to ensure bb move on to textured food (yes.. teng was eating minced meat at 7mth.. when he only started teething at 1 yeras of age!) also have good recipes suitable for the different stages in the book..
exciting.. our bbs can start to be weaned in 2 more months for u.. three more for me.. and when they start.. hahaha. most of us might be complaining that too leiceh to bring the purees out and wish the bb is onli on milk again!
ok. running away again. dun want to turn the forum gloomy
things aren't rosy for my family. frens on fb wld have seen teng's horrific looking rash. awaiting blood test results.. if tested positive for mycoplasma infection.. whole family has to be treated. inclusive of yh.. this prolonged bout of illness is outstaying its welcome.. i am drained
to make things 'worse'.. yh is rejecting to be latched.. cld have happened in the hopstial when he was on the bottles all the time to monitor his intake. his sleeping association is acting up aalso. wake up in the night screaming.. rejects paci.. for three nights in the row.. he wakes up and scream two hourly.. feeding is the onli thing that settles him. but feedhim. he takes too much milk. morning feeds all haywired..
i am now left thinking. fight again for him to latch on (no pt? coz eventually when i go back to work (end of feb) he needs to be on bottles again! so why make him cry for nothing?.. yet i'm in a dilemma because i endured so much jus tto latch him on. now he can latch better.. i let go just because of some unfavourable circumstances?
