re: SORE NIPPLES
Keropi, thanks for your tips!, what i have done is to:
(a) see GP - She gave me some antibiotic cream to fasten the healing
(b) reduced the no. of times that i pump [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]
(c) use lower suction cycles for breastpump
(d) air the nipples
after doing so for 1 day, seems to be less painful, hopefully the milk ss doesn't decrease too much, if not have to rebuild
Mrs Long & Cecil & mummies who are concerned about their BM SS
don't worry too much! It is normal to feel a bit moody post delivery - i still remember being very upset with EVERYONE'S comments about BM when i had #1.[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/messages/2495852/4302067.gif] This phase will pass. Write down positive statements and re-read them, it helps.
I still managed to partial breastfeed my #1 prince for whole 9 months. He is now a cute little boy at 22 months, with very good weight at 14+ kg. Hehe, partial breastfeed is not bad, cos you give the best of both worlds...tok about being kiasu.
For my 2nd prince, i am going for partial too
