Hi all,
Hope one day I can join you guys for a meal, though I'm really new to this forum. Going back to work on 8 Jan this Fri as there is an impt event at work. I initially intended to work once a week in Jan, then more days in Feb and so on. But judging by my bb's feeding and sleeping pattern, I think I better just go back to work 2 days in Jan. He usually sleeps around 11pm, wakes up at about 1.30, 3.30am for his feeds, then will stay awake from 5am onwards. Hence I end up getting only 3 hours of sleep in total everyday. Hard to nap during daytime cos he hardly sleeps for long too.. I'm dying...
Someone suggested giving him FM at night and pumping my milk out. Anyone breastfeeding mum doing that too?

tanly, guess she enjoy the vibration of the rocker and also the pacifier do helps to sooth her. Sometimes rock her rocker a bit she fall asleep. Or maybe she knows now only mummy take care of her cry also no use so she behave herself. Yesterday my hubby come back, see she so guai at the rocker and not cry for carry, he ask whether my gal is ok. Haha...
Sleep through the night ah? hm... even when the CL is around, she only need to be feed 2 times in the night. Guess now we feed her a bit late 11+ pm and she dong till morning. Think my gal want to sleep more then need to feed.

rhapsodyrach, i'm giving baby FM at night and pumping out milk at night.
I find that baby sleeps longer if given FM. if you really need the rest, can do this for a few days. i give 2 FM each day but then i think i'm going to give BM totally soon. reason why i gave FM is cos i dun have enough milk ss.

hi,
i'm also Nov mum, did occasionaly follow the discussion of the mummies here.
My baby also having reflux & colic, she is fully BM. i had been trying to train her bottle feed since one month ago, but she still reject.
Tried diiferent bottles, different people to feed her, she still insist of direct latch...headache... so, i was struck at home, can not go out without baby & no one can feed her except myself...so stress..

My hubby wants to be a real daddy and wants to feed so ask me dun be selfish to hv baby all alone plus i dun hv much BM ss so got to give FM also loh... but my baby prefer my BM than FM so he hardly finish 60ml of FM and will wake up very fast for another feed.

Karen,
my bb also 7weeks plus, I find his crying not as loud(or maybe cos I moved to my mum's place n there v noisy)?
Also find it much easier to settle him...
Not sure if cos according to research, bb crying peaks at 6 weeks?
my bb also starting to drk more n longer time now.
But seems yours is heading to the routine n Guai side.
Which mummy also experience bb changing for the better?
or it is the cool weather making bb sleepy?

saintbaby, i do have a layer of stuff on top of milk but not dark yellow. If i'm not wrong, it's the fats. so, just need to shake well then is ok. not sure about the dark yellow stuff. mayb is also fats?
anise, i buy nursing bra from the forum's spree. some sell good nursing bras at cheap prices. can go check it out. i find that those which button in front one not too good cos not flexi enough if you grow fat or thin. hook behing ones beta

if it persist, then ask doc? but i think shd be ok cos is breast milk mah. if we nvr pump out, we also dunno what's in the bm. just ensure it's not contamination when handling the milk.

Saintbaby,
what i know is that you cannot mix the milk if they are of diff temp. so if you thaw the FBM in the fridge for some hours, then you can mix it with the refrigerated ebm when they are of same temp.
So same goes for if you freshly expressed milk, you cannot mix with ebm from fridge immediately. must ensure is same temp.
Dunno what the reason is but hubby told me this info. but actually try not to mix so much cos will increase contamination. if bo bian then no choice have to mix.

re: mixing expressed milk
actually there are different articles with different views on it. some said is ok to mix milk at different temp, some said is not good. so generally, i follow the views on the following:
1) freshly expressed milk can mix with ebm stored at room temp but have to be consumed within 8 hours
2) freshly expressed milk cannot mix with refrigerated ebm unless it is cooled in the fridge first as well. the 2 ebm must be expressed within 24 hours apart from each other. cannot be too long apart.
3) freshly expressed milk can be added to already frozen ebm.
4) frozen ebm, has to be thawed in fridge before adding to ebm which is stored in the fridge.
so the general guideline is to mix ebm of same temp. except (3) above. what i understand is that cos when we mix frozen ebm with freshly expressed ebm, we are not mixing them directly as the freshly expressed ebm will freeze on top of the Frozen ebm . then when both are frozen, when you thaw, they are of same temp, so it is ok for them to be mixed when they thaw. hope can understd what i'm trying to say here.
but if PD said is ok to mix, then is ok to mix. and if so far nothing had gone wrong for the baby, then i suppose is ok to mix. think i a bit kiasu lah. prefer to be safe than sorry.
