argh.. My last latch was 530pm, My bb last feed was at 730pm, which i give ebm cuz there's some left in fridge. Then put him to sleep at 9. Thinking he'll prolly wake up soon aft that, i nv pump n fell asleep. Who knows he woke up only at 430am! My breast super engorged n my bra is soaked! Breastpad was soaked thr. So just pump aft he latch. Hope this incident wont drop my ss. Since he can sleep thr 6-7 hrs, hw to adjust it to let him sleep thr the night instead?
Linglee: maybe can try increasing 10ml first to his intake? For my bb, I think it's growth spurt.
Joanna: my Hubby same as yours. This month come back past midnight almost everyday due to work. But his project ending this week, so next week onwards finally got normal working hours!

joanna & calamari, my hubby oni managed to make his appearance in front of me during wk 1, as it was the new yr hol period. he went back to work on 5 jan, & since then, everyday not @ home frm 6am-9+pm. & i oredi made a lot of noise. tis wk is even worse... wah, cant imagine if he comes back after midnite everyday...
My bb has a huge appetite, already drinking 120ml few days after delivery, went to see pd.. He like wah, but din comment anything... So all d while we maintained his intake at 120ml... These few days I noticed even 120 not enuff as he will cry after feeding... I also slowly increase to 130 or 135ml... But bit scary, cos he's only 3 weeks plus...

yah man...somemore his feed frequency is not that long, between 3 to 4 hours, most of the time 3 hours.. sigh! Moreover he's on FM most of the time, cos my ss super depressing, super demoralizing..
joanna: you mentioned that mdm rokiah is good in breast massaging huh? i feel like asking her to try massage and see if it works in increasing a little, though mine is not exactly blocked ducts leh... maybe just ss low..sigh!

Hi mommies,
Long time didnt come in here.
My CL leaving soon this sat....;p...dunno how 2 handle if she's gone ?
Now learning how 2 bath bb but found that I no strength 2 handle her.....;p
Btw there's a bath support 4 bathing bb ? Wats that called ? Anyone know where 2 get & which hv cheap brand ?
Oh, nowadays I also getting lazier....;p...can wait until abt 4-5hrs later then pump in the day. At nite I can let her latch on 1 side (interchge sides) & dun pump & wait until morn (after 6-7hrs) then pump but manage 2 pump out >120ml....;p...dunno my ss will reduce as a result ?
However, found that my bb drink less nowadys.
If dun latch her, she can only finish abt 75-85ml. If latch her 1 side, then she only drink abt 50ml. She will wake up every 2-3hrs for milk thou.
Is that 2 litle for a 4wks bb ?

One more thing, for pumping.. how many let down do you guys get during pumping. I try 15 mins each breast, right breast manage to have let down once, 50ml -.-, left breast seems to have but not like right breast spray out, 40ml.. or so. low morale.
Just now my bb poo and urine on me.. think she protesting cos i scold her.

ivy, i also got the same concerns as you. my bb drinking 130ml, but sometimes i only pump out 100ml. one mummies say cuz bb suction is faster and better then pump, thus, might drink more then wad we pump..
since got tingling sensation means got let down liao. for me, sometimes got milk sometimes no when i got the sensation.
nw, i try to total latch. pump only when breast very full. lazy liao. haha
i got let down prolly once every 10 mins of pumping. i opposite frm u, left side easier to achieve letdown then right side. and left side always pump more then right side.

jeanie, my son now poo every alternate days.. and he wont poo in his diaper.. have to gek sai for him den he will poo.. every baby got their own poo-ing style.. heh..
calamari, @ least ur hubby is taking a mth's leave in march.
mine cant even tell me when's his lull period @ work b4 my maternity leave ends.
his oni confirmed answer is prob end dec when everyone else is on leave, then he can take leave.
even then, he will still go back to work, work frm his laptop or thru phone. sigh...
i told him since the only reward frm his company for being efficient & effective is more work, then mayb he shld consider wat he shld really do to achieve work-life balance, since the topic on him spending long time @ work has been a recurring one btw us.
i know i m being 'unreasonable', but i cant help but get a bit 'emo' when i see him spending more 14hrs @ work daily. i hope the hormonal effects on my emotions now dun get out of hand over such trivial issues.

Hi Ladies,
Does any of you know where got sell the breast shape Teether, I saw it once but can't remember where I saw it. My baby likes to latch on a lot be it whether she's hungry or not. She just latch on either if she's hungry or tired......Now she can only fall alseep after latching on. Need to help kick away such bad habit especially when I go back to work. Had try replacing her addiction on latching with bottle feed, but everytime after a bottle feed, she'll cry for latching again....

Joanna, ivy, thanks. I already booked appt to see LC. Next time will see mdm rokiah. But she also not cheap hor. Almost $60, slightly more exp than tmc.
Ivy, me was trying to save $ too. That's why drag for so many days, hardly any letdown n baby keeps fussing for milk so I raise white flag Liao..

mstan, 6-in-1 cost me $125. Can take btw 1.5-2 mths. Not all baby will have fever. My bb was abit warm at night but next day ok liao. Mild fever indicate that bb's body is reacting to the jab which is good.
ginnie, ur bb so good, can toilet train him liao. I intend to start when my bb can support her head herself..

I do what you do too. I Only pump in the morning, but at night I'll just latch her. I've never ever woken up to pump, except once for my #1 when i desperately needed milk for the following day's feeding when i went to work.
Arisz
Don't worry, we mummies are adaptable. Short of going mad, we'll still manage, hehehe...right mummies?
Shaine, calamari
My mom also, at times, will pack lunch for me on the night before, when my hubby fetches #1. I'm quite grateful for this. But when there's no food, I just cook something simple. Throw onion, garlic, ginger into pot of water, then put in fish & spinach etc. can liao.
Ouh, i went out to parkway today. opened bank a/c for baby. but ooops, the teller noted my baby only 3 weeks old and i still on confinement :X

WOW! Toilet training at this age?!
Is yr baby on cloth diapers?
There's a technique mums of those babies using cloth diapers use to toilet train.
Think it's called elimination communication.
Really impressive.
Even my 2 1/2 yr old still not toilet trained... *lol*
