bearycue, don't cry. My mum say during confinement cannot cry. Cry already next time no good.
I also very worried in how to handle bb alone after confinement. Can u imagine my girl doesn't want to sleep during the day and night and always want to be carried. That is very tiring. Now my mum do the day shift and i do the night shift. Can't imagine if I go back to Malacca, then left hubby and me taking care of bb, i will faint. Further more my bb is drinking every 2 hrs i hardly got time to rest.
Kimifin, I gave pacifier to my girl. Sometimes she take it, sometimes she don't. Really at a lost in what she want.

I'm also doing the night shift, while MIL or maid do the day shift, so i got to take short naps. Yup, my baby also cries more n wants to be carried. Kimifin, to reduce my blues, I also watched bb's expressions n little noises that she makes.
I did cry during my confinement
Feel overwhelming when baby cries n I'm still learning to decode the reasons, and not enough sleep. Jia You, everyone!

My cousin who was due in mid-Dec (the one who stayed in Mt A for almost 2 months), gave birth on 30 Nov to a baby boy, 2.3 kg. Very tiny compared to mine, born at 3.7 kg. Now at 1-mth, my baby is 5.3 kg! Very big huh? Must teach my baby not to be a big bully in future.

Talking abt the baby bonus card... There's 2 erm, priviledges given to 1st time mothers issit? One is gov give cash bonus for first child 1k and another one is dollar for dollar cda account issit?... Or u can only choose one type as in either or kind of thing?
I'm doing both day and night shifts man... Wth... My mil just cooks and washes... She don't even care abt the confinement rules nw.. She used to buy cang mao for me to wipe now she don't bother... And she's supposedly supposed to do day shift so I can rest.. But all she does is keep checking bb diapers and end up waking him up and make him unsettled before feeding time.. End up I got to latch and whole routine gone...I Am really so damn frigging tired but cNt take naps...Arghh

Carinez1, I heard dr Keoy is leAving the clinic to set up his own. U double check before u sign onto any immunization package. My bb is also fussy recently. So difficult to settle him. Cannot really nap during the day cos busy with latching, pumping, housework and now even worse have to settle him. I m not giving in to pacifier yet...although my mum kept nagging me to give it to him....
Superwalker> dr keoy really setting up his own clinic?... Hmmm lucky u mentioned.. Don't think will sign up any package at tmc... Very mafan to go thEre... U doing entirely latching?... Hmmm I doin entire latching but i don't pump leh... Initially I jus pumped to build supply... But now so tired to pump... Should I pump ah?
kimifin, to maintain ur ss, constant latching will do also... i take chix essence every morning after breakfast... ur hb gotten the blues?
tanly, dun worry too much...am sure u n ur hb will be able to cope with ur gal back in malacca...got ur ILs to help there too mah...
agata, ur bb's big! my bb now only 4.6kg but then she was born small so need lots of catching up!!
carinez, i dunno whether u can take the hep b jab only at dr keoy's, i heard he got package one... for bb bonus, we are entited to both cash bonus n cda a/c...

carinez1, ya, that what i heard from a friend today. i am doing latching for 7 out of 8 feeds, then for the 11pm feed, i let him have ebm so that my hubby can bond with him, and also so that i can give him more milk before he sleeps. i realise that my ss dwindles as the day progresses, so better to pump more during the morning and store some for the 11pm feed. i am also storing excess in the frezzer now.
as for pumping, its up to u. i find that pumpng helps me

ok, me going out to shopping liao... robinson got member sale today...
Pls. advise.
how to store EBM in freezer? if my bb is feeding at 100ml per feed now, then do i store the EBM in 100ml/pkt? or how much should i store per pkt?
as bb might increase milk intake so if i store 100ml n bb has increase demand to 120ml then how to add 20ml to the 100ml frozen milk?

Sporty,
yes, only that day, cos maybe he cant settle bb...
But after dat hub got better.
Sigh, I hate it when I cant latch fll time, like need to go out for a while, or wanna pump to build excess. Cos it disrupts my supply, end up used my EBM..my CL used 3 bottles today!
I pump only 1 per day if i hardworking. U know, u duno how much bb drk, so may end up giving excess, also worry bb find it so easy to take the bottle then suck.
Stacey, ok will do.
Then, wonder if I can Internet bank to transfer fund from DBS to OCBC?

superwalker, i also let my hb bottlefeed my gal once a day...to bond n to let her get used to bottle...i used to have a colleague whose bb cant take bottle well n will be on milk strike n everyday she had to knock off earlier from work to go home n latch the hungry bb!!

sporty, i really hope not! but i dont think so la... my discharge only tapered off these couple of days back.. plus milk supply still at around 1.6l per day, no drop yet..
tanly, bearycue, kimifin,
if blues its ok, just hope it doesnt escalate into depression! really hope it'll go away soon.. i hate feeling unhappy! but i do get a sense of peace when i carry my #2 and he looks back at me with his blur face. my #1 is starting to be a horror now but i still feel happy when i play with him..maybe coz #1 feeling the competition, so these days keep throwing tantrums, and its additional stress to discipline him loh. that's why i feel so low..

Magical, I learn to overcome my blues by relaxing and leaving my girl to my mum. Well that is a very selfish move, but atleast I could have a peace of mind during the day if not I'll be too stress out by my girl.
But I am counting down to the end of my confinement now. Hopefully after the full month, my girl can get settle down more easily.

i told her he's hot but she say baby only scared of cold...hot no problem de..
finally can logon, been busy with the 1st month celebration last Sunday, meet up insurance agent and etc...
Finally, today i can go out to market to satisfied my craving of "teh si". My CL is leaving tomorrow and need slowly getting use to my gal patterns.
My gal now weight 4kg @ 1 month old. Today just increase her milk intake to 100ml. This afternoon while feeding her, i got a shock cause she vomit milk like merlion when i remove the bottle away, my CL says bb will just take whatever you give , think while i feeding she also pooing and struggle a bit, didn't notice that as she still sucking happily. Really got a shock, she didn't cry but next time I think i will stop between the feed to burp her safer, scare she merlion out again as she always drink very fast.
I know lots of you trying to increase the milk ss,but i want to ask, how to slowly stop bf? Cause after my CL leave, my mum will go back Ipoh 1 week later. I am worry i not able to pump then. Currently i pump 5 times a day yield around 600 ml per day. How to reduce the ss slowly and not cause engorgement?

tanly, baby should be more settle after 1 month mainly we might already know their pattern.
My mum also says baby bigger and easier to handle.
piggy, I wrap 1 of my gal hand only and sometimes wrap with her both hand out cause she will struggle her hands out till vomit milk. And i wrap her with diaper cloth only.
Old people scare bb catch cold that's why say want to wrap but my gal scare of hot,when we put her in living room with aircon she can sleep better we just need to make sure she i cover properly eg. wear long sleeves and legs covered.

aiyoz...heard that when drinking breastmilk, baby no need to drink water? correct?
my MIL repeat her ways of taking of baby again and again...everyday say same thing...walao..

put baby bath on my boy and put him into the water (so logically the water is already soapy right?)
after washing of baby using the soapy water, she wrap my baby up and bring to wear clothes liao...
lidat can ah? won't my boy be soapy?

i also using johnson top to toe wash, yellow colour one...a few drops ah? my MIL pump 3-4 times lor...lolz..still ok right?
i pump at 4pm..then just now latch my boy from 5.45pm - 6.30pm..dunno if he managed to drink anot leh..when i look at his mouth, at the side when sucking, there is white colour liquid, so i guess he's drinking?

tanly,
at any one time during the day, mil n myself gotta be in charge of one kid.. plus when she does the cooking or bathes, i've got two on my hands! frankly speaking, i'd rather be in charge of bb, coz he's easier to manage than my super active 2 yr old. =D
actually i find that the first month is the easiest to work with because bb still blur about the ways of the world, and they sleep the whole day away. once they get older they need to be entertained and problems such as reflux and colic may start to come up..
piggy,
feel baby's neck and body and if its unusually warm then unwrap him. my bb sweats like nobody's business esp while feeding, so its not true that babies dont feel warm!
and yes, total bf dont need to feed water at all.
i bathe my boy by cleaning his face with clear water first, then put a pump of baby bath into the bath water, put his into the bath and wash, then just take him out. not soapy at all.
karen,
actually its still possible to pump while caring for bb alone. i did that for a year with my elder one. i find the best times to pump is just after a feed when bb is satisfied, just fall asleep, or awake and feeling fresh. i just put him beside me on the bed and i pump, but i always make sure his pacifier is within reach la.
but if you really want to stop, just cut down on a pump day by day. last time i cut down to 2 or 3 pumps a day, supply would be so little that within a few days i stopped totally without any problems at all.
sporty,
yeah i try to keep my spirits up.. i think this phase will pass but i hope it'll pass soon!

magical, same here, i always pump when my boy finished his meal..i put him next to me and i start to pump...entertain him while pumping...best is after meal, cos full mah, so will not be cranky..
i read from an article that if we pump out the milk for babies, will be around 3 ounces per feed, 8 times a day... and this amt remains for 1 to 6th mths.. is this too little?
my supply still cannot feed more than 100ml at the moment... but if baby needs then no choice .. got to give..
now my baby is 6 wks liao.
how much expressed breastmilk u all fed?

can we eat seafood, eg: prawns/squid during confinement? if cannot, when can?
Just something to share:
My hubby found this online store sell huggies diapers cheaper as compare to NTUC. You gals might be interested.
http://www.ibaby.com.sg/shop/index.php/diapers/huggies.html
My mum says can't eat seafood as in prawn/squid till after 100 days. If you c-sect is even longer.

wah shiok,
pumping while typing my above post, my blocked duct cleared itself.
i observed how my massage lady cleared my ducts last time, maybe mummies with blocked ducts can try this.
before pumping, massage the lump toward the nipple for abt 5 minutes, and by that i mean press and squeeze it so pls expect pain! then form a 'C' with your thumb and index finger, circle the areola and squeeze forward toward the nipple. repeat as necessary. you should see some milk leak from your nipple if you've successfully cleared the duct. pump immediately after this and your lump should be gone.
i've tried this and so far it works. my ducts would be cleared after one or two pumps.
