i think my #1 threw his toys until whole house is in a mess!! i cant wait for my confinement to be over to tidy up the place!! argghhh...now can only close one eye...
catechins, maybe put ur boy down to a bouncer near u tha he can smell/see u? then he wun cry?
funne, esther delivered her bb on a wheelchair on tmc...thas why her gynae never deliver for her
magical, ya lor...unblocking blocked ducts are our 'challenges"...i rem i even had to resort to hand express or avent manual to get tha stubborn duct unblocked!!

heyee ladies~
don't know whats wrong with me, think my ss really went down down down.. breasts dun even feel full after 2-3 hrs.. feeling so demoralised..
I'm still doing direct latching now.. sometimes i can see the milk 'collecting' at my nipple when my boy suckles.. and everytime after a session, milk will be all over his face.. what does that mean? is he not swallowing the milk?

sporty, i don't mind giving pacifier but my mum is strongly against it... and my #1 was given pacifier cos she had to go for hernia ops when she was only 2 months old then and it was real hard to weane her off the pacifier after 3 months.... and then my mum kept saying that it's my own choice cos she already say no pacifier... but that time how not to give when my gal had to fast for 6 hrs before the op..... sure cry big time.... so i fed up and i just threw the pacifier into the dustbin chute one day and let my gal cry her lungs out for about 2 days.... cry until hiccups..... and by then i wasn't latching her cos i was pumping exclusively.... but after 1 wk, she finally got rid of pacifier addiction.
re: pacifier
i think it's all personal choice.. of cos if it gives mummy a sound mind, den better to give.. cos to be always latching for comfort, really very xing ku.. i'm also resisting not to give her.. for my elder 2 kids, they kick the pacifier habit when they turn almost 2..

Morning all.. Got to ask all the BF experts sth.. Till now, I have yet to buy a electric pump.. Only bought the Avent Manual pump cuz at tt point if time, I dunno if I will have enuf BM ss after birth.. Now seeing all the posts, seems like quite diff to survive without a electric pump.. so my question is...
Should I go get a electric pump? If yes, which one do you girls recommend?
Should I go get a electric pump? If yes, which one do you girls recommend?
funne, ur syringe is not with needle rite? sounds scary if its with needle...
sponge, soft boobs doesnt mean no milk...sometimes our breasts are so well trained tha we dun feel full or engorged...if ur boy feel satisfied after the feed...pee and poo normally...ur milk ss shd be ok ba...
ariesgal, u consider lor...whether to give pacifier or not...my mum also dun like pacifier tha time...i gave him cuz first 3 mths i took care of him alone and i need my sanity...only when my boy went to my mum's place after i returned to work, she then wean him off pacifier...
jane, wahh...hi-tea haven over...got xmas bash liao ah!
HEHHEHE
shirlin, i survived on avent manual for the 1st mth for my #1...its a good pump... then i invested in an electric pump after my supply stablised after 2nd mth onwards... so no hurry to get electric pump... if u really wanna get, get dual one, its better...can consider ameda dual or medela PIS or freestyle...

Esther,
your $900+ full bill or cash top up? if full bill then v cheap!
Ida came to my place before she came to yours..i took her 6+ am slot coz she's really busy! she knows quite a no. of Nov mommies. She's unwell today btw..
Shirlin,
avent manual worked well for me. it allowed me to bf #1 for a year.
any moms giving extra ebm to older sibling?? haha i've been giving #1 my excess ebm and she likes it! haha..tot beta to give her than freeze since freezing destroys some nutrients

sporty,
i was pumping in the morning.. but this morning, i hav become the pacifier again..... really very tempted to intro pacifier liao... at most let her go thru cold turkey when she enter infantcare lor.... hahaha..
Esther,
wah... u gynae still charge delivery fee although he din deliver u ah... hmmm.. ya lor.. shd really ask for discount....
poor #1... it's lidat.. my #1 oso took some time to get used to hving a sibling.. he's still quite emo at times....
catechins,
can't store in the same bag liao.. coz if u pour in the fresh EBM, it will thaw the frozen one.. den cannot keep liao..
in future, if u wish to store same day EBM, best to put in chiller first.. den end of the day, consolidate n transfer into milkbag to put in freezer...
odiey,
i'm oso persisting n trying to delay/avoid pacifier as long as possible... but i'm abt to surrender soon...
funne,
wah... the using syringe to clear block duct seems like a gd idea...
ariesgal,
wah... cold turkey treatment for ur gal.. but interesting to note tt ur mom dun like to give pacifier.. i thot usually it's the older generation who loves pacifier n the younger ones to try to prevent relying on it...
Jane,
On ah!!! i love gatherings..
stacey,
i'm giving my #1 the extra EBM.. like wat u said.. better to give to the elder one than freeze it.. but hor, will start stocking up frozen EBM once i return to workforce.. coz need to standby stock in times of emergency.. oso afraid tt my ss will drop when i start work...

Really difficult to post online these days.. either busy with pumping, eating, bfeeding, handling my #1 or trying to catch some sleep. Most is read.
Wish to join your for the gatherings but seems quite impossible as dun hv car...
Natal Essentials meal delivery quite late these days.. arrive at cck close to 1pm today. So hungry.. devouring my food now.
My hospital bill stated $900+ fully deducted by medisave. It's actually 4-bedded, auto upgraded to 2-bedded. Gynae fee need cash top up of $287.42. Dun think can ask for discount... lol.. at least he stitched me up.
Looking forward to Ida's massage session. she helped to clear my engorgement. Any mummy who is considering to engage a massage lady for your next pregnancy shd try her. Book early.
