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.
