My quality of life has improved since I introduced a pacifier to my little one. Less crying = more sleep! He also knows when he wants food and then refuses to take the pacifier. Am also BF him when I'm tired of pumping. Don't think there is any nipple confusion.
Mummies out there need to take as much rest as possible to help with milk production. I'm currently pumping every 3 hours, through the night and getting 100-120mls each round and prefer it to BF as pumping empties my boobs better. Need to go pump now. Moo moo...

I shy / fii0nn : thks for the encouragement...
Am currently takin care of bb myself as my CL will only be coming on 23 Feb. My hubby has taken unpaid leave since we got discharged. He's been in charge of all the cooking, washin etc etc.. Initially hav worked out a plan tat I'll take the nite watch while he can sleep .. But the cryin jus won't stop and I feel so bad tat each time I ended up wakin my hubby for help.
Becos of all the sleepless nites, my milk supply also din increase.. And I'm always so tired tat I can't reali follow the timing to pump every 3 hrs..especially at nite.
Today, we're tryin to increase the feed to 80ml.. Cos jus tis afternoon when feeding time, we notice tat my girl drinks a total of 50ml BM + 40ml FM !!! Issit normal for a 2 wks old baby ??????

whoofy.... y the CL coming so late????
This is what happen to me during my #1 arrd....so tired & stress till dont know what to do.... sometime bb just wan comfort during the night time as i think night time is too dark.... maybe....we would not know what bb can feel/see right. Try not to let her sleep too much during the day time ..... even i know that when bb sleep is our rest time. My hubby would prefer me to talk to our bb during the day time rather than to let him sleep....I would sing & talk to my bb as much as possible....at times, i do disturb him to wake him up. Whoofy....maybe u can try this....

kath tan : i didnt give my gal water when she is < 6 mth old.. but she loves to drink water now.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] so i guess water could be introduced later..
according to a article on the papers , water shld not be intro to baby before 6 mth old. :| i guess if you give fm.. water shld also be given in moderation.

Kath : thks.. Hav tried singing and slow rock wif my girl too.. But dun seem to work.. We r also tryin not to let bb sleep so much durig day time .. Hopefully it will help soon..
My CL is coming so late cos tis was wat we had signed up for wof the agency. But cos bb comes 3 wks earlier den EDD.. So will hav to take care of things ourselves lor. The agency can actually help to arrange the CL earlier but need to top up cash.. We feel tar it's nit worth cos it's CNY wif public holidays, he might as well take a few days unpaid leave..
There r times where we did talk abt tis decisison and felt regretful.. But we told each other must endure...

Kath / Angel : thks for all the suggestions .. will try them out when there's an oppotunity.. I realize tat my girl sounds like she has things stuck at he throat each time we finish feeding her. She sounded very uncomfortable, tryin very hard to
clear her throat. And when she fails, tats when the cryin starts. We r alrdy burpin her for at least an hr to clear any air inside.. But sometimes she burp out are sticky milk glands. Issit normal ??
Angel : yes.. My armpit also becomes darker !!!!!

Yikai: I'm using Philips Avent Duo IQ. Apparently double pumps help with more milk production. I don't really observe the time I take to pump - am gauging by how empty my breasts feels. I think that roughly takes 10-15 mins. Have to pump through the night or else I will develop blocked milk ducts which is no fun at all! Not to mention I wake up each time my boobs feel full.
My boy drinks 100-120 mls even when he is 2 weeks old every 3 hrs, more still when he had his growth spurt! At that time I could hardly keep up with milk production. I think the trick to increasing the milk suppy is to BF/pump frequently since its a supply and demand thing. At the time of his growth spurt, I was pumping every 2 hrs... eeks!
Kath: My boy also had jaundice at a high of 267. I just made sure he drinks on demand. Now it's resolved!

Yeah, my kids have been seeing Dr Lilian at Kidsclinic for a few years liao. She is good and patient. But her Q is always very long. So either me or HB will go to the clinic to take Q no, then go home to wait for nurse's call.
Usually gotta wait for 2-3 hrs.
But if you stay opp, just nice for you. You can take the Q no then walk home to wait. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Morning mummies!
Here are some tips for breastfeeding
For engorged breasts/ blocked ducts
i find it very useful use a hot towel to cover your breasts and let it soften, and massage them while still warm. This helps get rid of engorgement and blocked ducts. Then pump to get the milk out. Should do this everytime before until breasts are soft and no painful areas.
Increasing milk supply
To increase supply, best is to directly latch whenever the baby wants milk! And regardless whether pumping or direct latching, should be done 2hourly throughout the day for a couple of days, everytime ensuring the breast is well drained, and this will stimulate increase in milk production. After a couple of days (usually 2 or 3 days), the breasts will get used to the increase in stimulation and production, and supply increases.
This is not forgetting important things like drinking lots of fluid (at least 3litres a day for me), getting enough sleep and rest, reduce stress levels (very important-lower your standards if necessary), and keeping warm (don't underestimate keeping feet warm in socks or warm slippers!).
My favourite breastfeeding resource is from Le Leche League International http://www.llli.org/nb.html

Yikai: I usually massage my breasts as I pump so that I can adequately empty them.
Kath: It took about a week. I went back to polyclinic 2 times and both readings were on a downward trend. The doc wanted us to return for further checks but we declined, since we already knew he is improving. Besides, it's always a hassle bringing the LO out.

pancakes...thank you for reminding me to wear slippers....forgotten abt it since i came home...
I also started to feel the back aches.... due the wrong position of feeding the baby & pumping the milk..... Baby dont wan like to feed while laying, he prefer to be carry & in lower position. that is the main reason for my aching.
