lasery2k: Normally if you are purely EBM.. you will only be able to pump enough for baby's demands (if cant meet demand yet.. don worry soon will be able to). Im not sure but logic wise i think if you latch and then pump as well.. supply will be more? Cos its like sending signals to the brain to produce more. Im trying to cut down on pumping and also cut down on freezing cos my freezer ran out of space already.. you only need to start freezing if you're preparing to go work already. Otherwise, don worry about it!

serene,
Thanks for the infor? I was worried..luckiy didnt pour away my ebm! Heartpain if i did so.
Me gg to start my massage next monday! Looking fwd to it! Btw, i have knees problem when preggy, ie after i squat and i try to stand up, my knees would be very painful. I tot after giving birth should be all right? But just now i squat and tried to get up, but my knees still hurt..anyone have the same problem? I still got another 8kg more to go to get back my pre-preggy weight..jiayou!

hello mummies,
now i knw why my baby vomits, because she's constipated and tried so hard to pass motion that she vomited instead.
any remedy for a 2weeks old baby having constipation? I am quite worried really. Thought of going to childrens clinic but all close early today.. any suggestions mummies?

DQ - If BB urine still pink means not hydrated enough. Also, a BB with jaundice will tend to be sleepier according to the PD. My BB also always fall asleep during feeds.. what I do is I keep nudging her and tickling her chin.
To increase BM supply, pump after feed (although I lazy to do that). Taking Green papaya fish soup and fenugreek suppose to help. Not sure how true though.. Most importantly, cannot stress yourself.. must rest enough then milk will come, that's according to my friend. So if need to, supplement with FM first, if not BB's jaundice may not go down.

aisha
erm, tbf bbs cannot b constipated ... instead ther hv watery stools or soft stools much like diarrhea. maybe ur bb is colic. try gripe water or ridwind
jaclyn
i chked out kellymom's website. ebm can be re-heated once and no more. also, u boy cmg to 1 mth so bottle feeding is going to be okie, but i think ur mil shd ask u first... it's ur bb, not hers

DQ, it's good to supplement with FM. my hb is against FM, keep insisting i BF only, so till now i find my bb is a bit yellow.
in the beginning my bb also always fall asleep when latching. and after 15-20mins, guaranteed sure fall into deep sleep. now how i wish she'll fall asleep when latching, hhahaha. she's been awake since 2pm. can't fall back asleep, so very cranky.

can i check how often shld we pump & how do we know when to pump?
i actually latch BB, then nvr pump after latching cuz think no supply liao. I only pump like 3-5hrs when feel boobs are painful, esp at night now cuz CL will feed BB EBM or FM.
Is my pumping frequency ok?

Junie,
I think u shouldn't wait till ur breasts r painful then pump. U should pump when they feel full or heavy. For me even thought after each session of my half hr pump, when I squeeze my breasts, still got droplets of bm coming out so I think they will nv be really empty.

ceres,
Yes we cam eat certain fruits eg apple n grapes n any other fruits tat are heaty. My mil only say cannot eat oranges n pears. Ya i think the softfit have the problem of leaking..mine too. So normally i will try to lean forward abit. So far didnt change shape nor colour..but y would change colour? Breastpain? Maybe u should lower ur pump level?

100% EBM
just sharing my experience. it is true that if you dont latch and only use pump to give ebm, your supply will dwindle faster than mummies who latch on. I did 100% ebm for my #1 and after my menses came, my supply will drop with each cycle. I have another fren who had the same experience. so mummies, if you intend to bf for long term (up to 1 yr), do try to latch on.
I am also battling to do full latch-on for my #2 now and try don't to do bottle feed and latch on concurrently if your bb is less than 1 mth, this may interfere with their latching on. for #2, I had some ebm at the early days when his appetite was not tt large, tot din want to waste it, so bottle fed him. end up he tried to suckle at the nipple instead of a proper latch which he had already been trained. so now must undo the damage. if you really need to give ebm or fm, try spoon feeding, it's tedious but not as damaging as bottle feeding. Anyway, just my personal experience.

Shann. I experienced finger joint pain too. My mum,Sis n MIL ask me try not to touch water. As in washing n stuffs. Hmmm. My mum doing confinement for me. Even is my own mum i also pai sei to let her do everything for me. So I can help her out I do some simple washing myself. And hor, before I carry my own bb I will wash my hand first.
All the washing causing my fingers pain.

erm, i think ur bb too young to take melon drink... in fact, tbf/tfm bbs dunnid water or extra fluid... there may be intoxication... but it could be a cultural thing so am going to leave it to u to decide to give melon drink to ur bb or not
junie
u mus b v consistent if u wanna express only. 2-3hrly. if laych/pump... then i suggest no longer than 2hrs cos ur breast will feel full.
ur breast painful now? u do massage? cos maybe engorgement or block ducts...
jo_lyn

Hi mummies,
just one question: if I feed bb with ebm that has just been pumped out but she is unable to finish the whole bottle, can I just store at room temperature first and feed the remaining at the next feed? Or do I need to pour away which I have been doing cos I was afraid of contamination but heart pain leh

Mrs Long = Don't worry about your baby.. My baby's jaundice was 19.3 2 days after she got discharged from TMC... and she was warded for 2 days too.
I also cried at the thought of leaving her alone in hospital. But rest assured she will be well taken care of.
Meanwhile, rest well at night because you need lots of energy when baby returns home =)

Suika, thanks for the advice. Problem is my bb can sleep for 2-3 hours after each feed. That's why I dared not keep for too long.
