hi,
i need some advise/help.
my bb already 1month old. Now BF & FM.
the problem is everytime latch on for BF, 2side of my breast for total of 1hr. My BB will still cry for more milk, when latch her on again, she will cry while latch on. refuse to close her mouth to continue sucking.
Then feed her FM then will satisfy her hunger.
Is my milk still not enough? But i always latch her on. Why is it not enough?
Anyone can advise ?

Diapers : I first used Huggies newborn, soon I found it too small for baby, so used Drypers newborn,I find the sides too tight leaving marks on bb's thighs, and also it leaks abit. Finally I tried Mamy poko newborn and Im so happy. It's really airy, material not as heavy as Huggies, and it has a poo pocket to hold poo. Not bad. Im sticking to mamy poko for the time being.
Mrs Lee, how do u bring bb our on yr own? U carry bb on those sarong slings? I wana bring bb down walk walk, like shop b save, but I cant seem to fit him into my baby carrier yet. And of coz dunt wana bring huge bulky stroller to go downstairs. How do u do it?
Those mummies, who live by yrself wif hubby, who is gng to look after yr bb when u start gng to work? Im curious, coz I know for myself Im hiring a maid, but those who dunt intend to hire one, how?

hi hi mummies!
Chiong out for the motherhood fair today. This fair seems a little better than the previous one I went to. Pampers got quite a good deal going @ $45 for 3packs size S.
I managed to get 3 pcs of nursing wear, 1 nursing bra, a pupsik pouch, and pampers. Super happy...then I chiong to tampines and bought a pair of shoes...wah like released from prison. Even my mum was quite shocked that I managed to buy so many things carrying my bb, best part is I didn't bring my pram. Now my back is breaking. Tomorrow going to make myself pretty for going back to office next week. My hair looks like a mop!
chubby,
I take all kinds of tea, bubble tea, milk tea...but don't take too much coz tea also has caffeine. everything in moderation.
icemilktea,
I think that depends on individual bb some have no problems switching between bottle and breast...I don't like to cup feed though, it's messy and precious milk gets spilled everywhere. My #1 didn't have problem switching when I introduced the bottle @ abt week 7 last time.
Sue,
I will bring bb to office on the meeting day itself. Will see if I make history @ office for attending tv conference with 1 month old bb in tow.
Mommies,
Do you pat your bbs to sleep? I don't like to carry and bounce my bb, but we pat him to sleep and he responds well.
Lucasmummy,
I notice when my bb doesn't drink well, usually because his stomach quite full and haven't shit. Once he clears his bowels, he turns into a little piranha. Don't know if it is the same case as yours.
Anlin,
I suppose you want to do total BM which is why you question why your milk is not enough and you need to supplement. Unfortunately, there is no other way but to keep latching and reduce the FM until your bb takes only BM. Or you can pump after latching to increase supply, hopefully your BM will increase and you can reduce the FM slowly.
Blueturtle, shuyan,
when I first brought bb out wif hb last week, he cried quite a bit due to overstimulation. Today he was good with me, only fussed for milk so I managed to shop a lot. Mayb he got used to it.

what you need to understand is that your breasts will never be 'emptied' of milk, no matter how much you pump / latch. I tested this theory myself. I pumped for 10mins and almost 'emptied' everything out. But I still managed to latch my girl for an hour. Of course, she may initially be unhappy cos most of the milk is gone but what she did get still satisfied her.
Your scenario may be either 1. Your bb just want to comfort suck or 2. Your bb is going through a growth spurt and requires more feeding.
I recommend you to get a few nursing books to better understand the types of scenarios that you may encounter and solutions to tide through these problems.
My recommendation is 'The ABCs of Breastfeeding'. I bought my copy from Kinokunia at Taka. Basically, all the chapters will be summarized into 3 main points for easy adaptation and they do help.
Hey BBF, what time were you there at Expo? I was there until about 4 cos had to feed my little girl. Thanks for helping me with Edie's contact.
Edie, I did not get for you cos I left home before your message came through. So was trying to get your number when I reached Expo but still did not get for you cos I have left Expo already.
Ktsc, did you go to expo too? I was hoping to meet someone from our May 10 thread, but was not able to do so.
BB bao, pls PM me your add so I can drop by, most likely next week.

Mrs lee, yup let's meet up, we can go Ikea or Vivo city. U so steady, brought ur baby out alone. Now that my baby's so cranky don't know if she'll be easy to handle once outside.
Sue, my record was latch on and off for 6 hours before my baby is satisfied and ready for bed.
Rantingbaby, I actually got bbf to get the milk trays for me! Thanks for the info and offer to get it for me.
Bbf, thanks for helping me to get the milk trays will pick it up from u next week after confinement ends on wed.

Ladies, hw are ur babies' sleeping pattern? My lil one behaving like stubborn teenager. refuse to take proper naps in the day time. and his bedtime is at midnight. Whole day doesnt slp much. only slp on my arms when latch on..
Agnes- Me n hb alone too. My MIL will babysit when io return to work. She is just 10 mins walking distance from us. So most probably every mng we'll drop him off there n pick him up in the evening..

BBF, don't mention. BM really works wonder : )
Understand that feeling (like release from prison) I also enjoy every moment even if it is only going for gynae follow up check or BB PD check. Wow, u bought so many things somemore bring BB out alone. How to carry so many things along the shopping trip from Expo until Tampines? U drive or take publc transport??
Rantingbaby, I reach Expo around 3 plus.
At the fair, bought the nursing pillow. Tested it out yesterday, a great relief for my arms when BF bb : )
Edie, BBF or Rantingbaby, can advise wat usage is the milk tray for? Cos if it is useful for storage of milk, would consider to get it too. Still thinking wat is the best way to store EBM (bottle with caps, milk bags or the "milk trays") Thinking of gg Expo tomorrow again for the pampers offer.
Mrs Lee, ylc, Edie, RAISE hands
me stay beri near area. Also tempted to bring BB out alone too (after his MAN yue). U all tried before bring BB out alone?

Ar, back to yellow yesterday the whole day. What I did was after she unlatch herself I'll burp and change her and let her feed on the same breast until she start pulling at it then change side, to make sure she suck everything out and also cl cut out leafy vege to see if that's the cause, I didn't take and greens yesterday also. So don't know if vege is the culprit.
Ktsc, the milk tray isused to freeze into 1oz milk sticks. So if u're feeding your girl 90mls just take out 3 sticks and defrost it. Each tray can freeze up to 8 sticks, after freezing can transfer to freezer friendly Tupperware or ziplock.
I bought it because it saves space.
By the way, it's perfectly fine to freeze bm together with all the meat and fish right?
Oh ya, ktsc u stay around telok blangah right if I remembered correctly.

Edie, yup. Stayed near too. Jus wondering if bring BB out alone by ourselves and meet up, can we really cope when BB cry?? Think must try it out then would know
The milk tray sounds great in space and $$ saving cos can reuse. Compared to milk bags which cannot be reuse. How much is per tray?
1 Que: After freezing the EBM in the tray, if put the frosen sticks together in the freezer friendly Tupperware or ziplock, would they stick together?
Think it would be better not to put the tupperware or ziplock near uncooked food especailly meat for hygiene purpose. If really no choice, when take the tupperware out from freezer, wash hands before handling the sticks.
BBF or Rantingbaby, can advise at which stall can I buy this tray @ Expo?

So quiet today.....
Ktsc, I think if transfer to the ziploc/Tupperware before it melts will not stick together. Can get it from mumsfairy booth, now they have 15percent off, after discount is 33 something for 2 trays, normal price is 38.
Ya, milk bags cannot reuse so v expensive and not environmental friendly. Hee.
Mrs lee, can I have ur email add? Or can add me [email protected]. I think use pram on mrt during off peak hours is the best, do u have fear with pram going on and off escalator? I don't know if I can or not especially if the escalator is v fast and crowded, scary...

Hi mummies...
*blow... my laptop is collecting dust.
bbf: Thanks. After much observation, I think it should be the same as your boy's case. I increased another 10ml for him this week, somehow, he didn't wake up early to cry for his milk. He is probably still adjusting to it.
Any mummies with babies around 5 weeks old still checking their poo and pee before and after feeding? My boy has been pooing during his feed, especially in the night. Is there anyway that we can help them too poo with routine?
My baby has been sleeping since almost 4pm. Tried waking him up but he kept going back to sleep. I am standing-by and keeping fingers crossed, praying he would sleep all the way till daylight.
mrs lee and edie: We took the escalator, my hubby finds it easier going down... But if I am alone, I think I would make an effort to walk more to the lift. I ish clumsy.
Let me attempt to bring bb out alone, maybe next monday to compass point. Siam the crowds...

rantingbb,
I was at the fair around 4 or 5. There was really a lot of pple...thought I would be able to catch you at the fair. But I may not recognize you now that you've shed all the pregnancy weight. Did you managed to get anything?
AR,
depends on what you want to get from the fair...overall, I think it was good for me coz I managed to get all my nursing stuff at slight discount. Pigeon had huge booth there too. There was also a diaper changing and nursing rooms so it was very convenient when bringing the bb along.
KTSC,
My sis gave me a lift, that's why managed to cover 2 places. Take mrt very jialat.
maggiemee,
I like le sportsac. light n waterproof.
edie,
after your confinement, we can meet up with bb and I'll pass you the milk trays at the same time.

Help...~
Sigh, I think I am losing my patience with my baby.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
I desperately need help with breastfeeding... I have been pumping and bottle feed him since we brought him home 'cos I would know how much he is drinking, plus hubby can help.
Problem now is, when I try to latch him on the past few times, he will suckle for 5-10 secs and then flinches/squirms/kicks himself away and pulls off the nipple crying hysterically - VERY fidgety. Then he'll go back and look for the nipple and the fidgeting starts again until I got so frustrated and gave him the bottle instead.
I'm not sure if he has 'forgotten' how to latch on my breast or what, since we introduced the bottle to him so early.
I want to BF him more, but if he cant even settle at my breast for even 5 min, I really dont know how to BF him.
Any advice/idea what's going on?
Is this a colic, or gas, or milk-flow related issue?

Then he'll go back and look for the nipple and the fidgeting starts again until I got so frustrated and gave him the bottle instead.
I'm not sure if he has 'forgotten' how to latch on my breast or what, since we introduced the bottle to him so early.
I want to BF him more, but if he cant even settle at my breast for even 5 min, I really dont know how to BF him.
Any advice/idea what's going on?
Is this a colic, or gas, or milk-flow related issue?

bb-bao I had a similar problem to you. My hubby intro the bottle at day 3 against my advise when my nipples were too sore to latch on. After that my boy always try to fight with me when I try to latch him on and when he does he doesn't really suckle. So after 5 days of bottlefeeding I told my hubby we're going cold turkey with the bottle and try a combination of cup feeding and latching. Cup feeding is such a faff as quite a bit of milk gets wasted but it has improved the situation in the sense he doesn't fight with me anymore when I try to latch him and he opens his mouth wider making latch a little easier. I'm doing more latching now and a little cup feeding but as he is taking more milk it's a bit more time consuming with cup feeding. In the last 2 days I switched him to using the Breastflow bottle. Have you heard of it? It's supposed to be good for bf babies who wouldn't take the bottle but also works as a training aid for babies who wouldn't latch on so that they can be brought back to the breast. So far it seems to have worked for us.
It's probably your baby has gotten used to the fast flow of the bottle so the slow flow of the breast frustrates him. I didn't have this problem with my #1 even though he was bottlefed pretty much from the beginning as he wouldn't bf right from day 1. But after 6 weeks he decided to bf!!! And I never really had a problem switching betweem bottle and breasts with him. Ha! Ha! Different child different set of problems.

Hope you find somthing which works for you.

Mrs Heng, everafter lovely photos of your babies! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
So boring just staying at home but too tired to go out. Went to the village playground for the first time since the birth 2weeks ago. One of the mums who's usually there was surprised when I turned up with a baby. All the time I had been taking my #1 there she didn't even know I was expecting!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/lol.gif]
Hopefully will be able to go jalan jalan soon. How you all tahan to go out with full and leaky breasts huh? After every 2 hours it feels so uncomfortable and have to empty out.
Oh have added some of you to my fb. Can add me too if you like. My email is: [email protected]

Mrs Lee, Taka on yr own??? It wld be a dream trip for me...keke..Im not too confident. I cant wait to get a maid , then off i go to orchard. I really cant wait to go orchard shopping although I went once wif hubby and bb. But its not the same. Hubby dunt really encourage shopping coz he gets frustrated when bb cries when we r out. So I do not shop much wif hubby as his face very very cramp when bb gets fidgety in the pram.
Im seriously tired wif the feeding, washing of bb clothes. I dunt even have anymore energy by mid day.
Anyway, any full FM fed babies here? Mine is fully FM fed, and he poos one time day and alot. Is this normal? I thought bb should poo more than 3 times a day. If BM, then Im sure bb poos often, how abt FM fed, any idea ?

Ok more questions..
Anyone apply baby lotion on bb? I start to realise my bb hands n legs getting abit dry becuz I dust him with a fair bit of powder after his bath. But Im worried applying lotion during this hot weather as it will leave him sticky. Any advice on baby lotion?
Good news, baby is 1 and half month today. Cant wait for bb to become 3 months plus so tht he can get distrated with toys and objects so tht I can bring him out often. Now bb dunt know objects and toys, so I worried he will cry non stop and I cant do anything abt it.

Bbf, sure... We can go for tea at coffee club again... Mudpie.... Yum.
Lucasmummy, I guess for the first few times I'll use the lift but there are some malls the lifts are always slow and crowded, escalator faster.
Bb bao, whatever problem you're facing just remember you're not alone, I guess most of us are quite stress and tired, at any point of time u feel like breaking down, pass the baby to ur hubby and walk out of the room/house.
Agnes, my cl has been using baby lotion on my baby after bath. Not sticky at all. Her skin was peeling quite badly, much better after applying the lotion.

Hello mummies... decided to latch on by seating in the study room chair fir mng feed.. if not bb will fall asleep when i latch on lying down with him...
bbf- thanks for the heads up on the fair. Will go today bec we need to get a pram n I really need to go out somewhere! i hv been a gd girl for 40 days so need some reward! heheh! I wudnt be bringing bb bec he'll be a handful to handle.
Am envious of u mummies!- My hb will never allow me to go out with bb alone. He doesnt trust me with bb alone. He cited my inability to walk straight without hitting someone as a reason. hahah! My ILs are like the 'we-hv-a-million-protocols' family n bringing bb out for jln jln is a big no no until he is at least 4 mths! haiz!
bb-bao - ur bb most probably is doing tt bec got low milkflow.. ( my lil one does the exact same thing when slow milkflow) maybe u can offer ur 'better' side where milk flow is stronger.. then the other side pump and keep..
adding to what mrs N said- breast feedong btl- tommee tippee is a very gd brand. the teat is designed to duplicate the shape of a breast nipple... u can use tt btl.. so when u latch on bb can open his mouth big big to latch on.. their bottles are also BPA free and designed to be anti colic.. it worked for me.. dun gv up.. try to train bb to toggle btw btl and latch on..
Agnes- bb lotion is not sticky dear... its actually a better alternative to bb powder.. u know rgt shdnt use bb powder on bb's body area unless its pure cornstarch based... use bb lotion.. moisturizes and prevents/controls the heat rash .... use bb oil for bb's hair to keep the cradle cap away..
As for toys for 3 mth old- get the play gym mat or smtg.. then 3 mth old can start reading to him alr.. google on appropriate toys n books for him..toys r us and kiddy palace will hv gd ones..
oh just to share- I had pizza last ngt.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] rewarded myself for end of confinement.. heheh! but poor thing.. ithing bb got colicky aft tt bec latced on aft my dinner (had the bbq chicken from canadian pizza).. he was crying alot.. my hb had great difficulty putting him to bed.. so sayang... He gets tummy aches in the ngt time only.. really heart ache to seee him wail in pain..
