sharin> btw juz receive call from breastfeeding hotline again..not too bad holiday can still return my call after leaving voicemail.. hehe
I posted some Qs to her:
Q: how 2 mix FM n BM?
A: Best not to mix, cos diff iron content.. blabla scientaific things, which I cant catch (cos bb at background crying.. argh.. ) But dun mix la..
Q: Wat food to avoid?
Caffeine? Depends on individual bb, some cases find tat they alert n awake easily
some no effect, conitnue sleeping routine as usual
Spicy?> its fine, cos bb wun taste spiciness in milk actually.. *dunno y my CL n SIL say better dun?? no logic to me anyway.. yeah! I shall try some more chili later dinner time
alcohol> best to avoid,cos will absorb into bloodstream n into BM. Unless if confinement perdiod wanna drink DOM, vapourise it. So at same time can drink the goodness of DOM n w/o alcohol to harm bb growth
..If I still gian to drink wine/beer leh? Avoid let bb drink my milk within 3-4hrs after I consume wine. Else Den 1st pump of milk, best to throw away.
Her kind advice>
If this is my 1st bb y not juz latch on & on? Cos it will help increase SS naturally, n can latch peacefully, since no disturbance from #1 child ah. Latching is still best den pumping as bb empty ur breast more effectively.
My reply: there was abt 2-3wks of direct latchin but I still find tiring, Cos bb drink 20-30mins 1 breast, when drink 2 sides, later 1.5-2 hrs she hungry I feed again, like 24/7 I'm like cow n hard to do things hse chores, etc. Tatz y tiz few daes juz latch at nite, day time pump, while mum feeding bb, I can sleep or do own stuff mah
n personally dun find increase alot when I compare.
Counsellor: She counsel again say, pump amt n bb drinking amt is diff, cannot compare. As long bb drink sufficient doze off to sleep happily, n got wee wee like lite yellow kind shows eating well. N poo poo enuf shows signs of eating well oso. Oso no need wash pump bottles lagi more free n ez 4 me ah
when latch on, I can still watch TV, surf net ah, dun worry.. latching still best
Me: hmmhmm.. making me rethink of 24/7 moo moo again.. ?
Reply: is it still ok go back 24/7 latch? N continue for how long?
Her: as long as u like since I have 4 mths mat leave..
bb keep crying louder..
end of conv..
