(2010/07) July 2010 MTB

I find that my girl empties out my breasts better than the pump. breasts feel softer after she latches as compared to when i pump only. though she drinks less when she wakes up for night feeds, so i pump out the rest. Like Jaclyn, I'll latch for as long as I can, then switch to pumping only.



I realised I'm probably latching wrongly. but when I try to make her latch properly, she gets cranky and she'll re-position herself to the wrong latch. how ah? should I see the lactation consultant, again? the LC came to see me when i was at TMC, and they said latch was correct (they charged for it though, all in the final bill :p). but now the left side really hurts when she suckles, and it looks like a shallow latch.

 


oops peanut, i din know seeing the LC at TMC while u were warded oso must pay! Phew.. now i don feel so bad hehehE!



Mommies, just want to say.. don worry too much. We'll take it as it comes. Whatever problems.. we'll face them and get over it. Be it expressing milk by pump or by latching, end of the day.. baby still gets the needed antibodies from you. Those that have to supplement with FM also same. Just give as much as you can and dont feel bad or guilty about it. We're just doing all we can!

 
Hi mummies!



Dont forget to burp your bb even when you are breastfeeding. I thought that direct latching doesnt require us to but I was wrong. My PD told me that I have to. I didnt do that earlier, and now my bb having so much wind in his tummy.

 
Pillow- I cried big time when #1 was warded 3d2n for jaundice but feel sad Nia for #2 when warded 1 day for jaundice but I Also extend 1 nite stay in e hospital for him. Such a great diff.

 
vivi, might help to not compare then feel oh i must be feeling less .... and go with the flow of what we have been blessed with. no matter what, #1 brings excitement coz its our first (like first love, haha :p). everything is first time. now , seasoned liao :p

 
hey mummies..



My boy was also damn cranky the first 2 nights when we are home.. he woke up every hour to request for milk.. suck for 5mins.. then sleep again.. both me and hubby really exhausted the 2 nights.. then come to 3rd night.. cos i need to drink the rice wine soup, i pump out my milk in advance.. so tat i can bottle feed him after i drink the soup.. cos PD say better dont drink the soup while and before bf.. and surprisingly he finished 80ml of milk and sleep 3.5 hrs throughout!!! finally we got some rest.. and thereafter, i use the same practice, give him EBM around 12am.. then during the night, i only need to wake up 2-3 times to bf him.. so tat i can have longer nap at night..

Babycoco, mine sometime will burp. At least we tried, else bb will feel so bloated and gets very cranky. Hopefully the tummy time will help too, I will try that method too. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
those mummies who give birth at TMC , can i check , the baby diapers was given 1 pack ? enough anot ? need to bring extra ourself ?

 
yes, TMC is very niao haha. they really charged us for every little thing. was telling my hubby we should've brought home the hand sanitiser they charged for :p



white lady, I think they gave one pack. more than enough for the 4 days my girl was there. the balance was given to us to bring home.

 
peanut>> Ya, my friend who delivered in TMC told me they even charge her for the plastic bag/bowl that she used to puke into. Think it was like 40cents each.



I told my HB, we bring our own plastic bags then just in case. Siao lor! 40cents for a puke bowl/bag.

 
white lady, yup fitti. erm i can't remember how many pcs, but it's the newborn one.



they charged us for "nursing procedure (15min)" so i think that's the LC la.



junie, they even charged us for the baby ID tag can.

 
Seeing you all talk abt baby horoscope.. reminds me that I dun know what is my baby horoscope. Haha!! Did a search and came across this. Something to share:



The Cancer Child

June 22 - July 22



Symbol - The Crab

Ruling Planet - Moon

Birthstone- Ruby

Flower - Water Lily

Color - Green



The Cancer Personality



If your child is born in Cancer (also known as Moon Child), he or she has a sentimental and versatile nature and a constructive imagination. Cancer is sympathetic and talkative, loves home and family, and has a tenacious memory-especially for details and historical events. The Cancer child appreciates praise and is encouraged by kindness. This child will delight in beautiful scenery, romantic settings, and new adventures.



Cancer children appear retiring but are positive, tenacious, and love to be noticed while appearing to be unassuming. They are not averse to fame, even though they can sometimes be shy. Your Cancer child will be fond of older persons, ancient customs, and things connected with the past that have sentimental value. The Cancer child often has a bright, alert face.



These imaginative, impressionable children make many changes in their lives until they find the position or occupation where they feel self-assured, well integrated, and appreciated. Their greatest attribute is the love of their home. They can turn anything into a beautiful environment. They love to travel and are particularly found of the sea.



Cancers are most compatible with Pisces and Scorpio.

 
true but the service i find is immaculate. the nurses are very experienced and service is very good. the stay was very comfortable



money worth , at least in my opinion!

 
Oops my above comment was for peanut, ehehe....abt the ID tag charge.



Ann>> U hv Leo horoscope write-up? Am a Cancerian and I can say it's more or less true for Cancerians.

 
peanut: When i discharge, they gave me a TMC bag with the pampers+ wet wipes+ hand sanitizer leh. They also gave me almost 20 bottles of formula and empty bottles too.



But really they charge everything lah! That blue colour incontinence sheet they put underneath u.. one piece so expensive.. if i know i bring my own plastic LOL!

 
The Leo Child

July 23 - August 22



Symbol - The Lion

Ruling Planet - The Sun

Birthstone- Sardonyx

Flower - Gladiolus

Color - Orange



The Leo Personality



If your child is born in Leo, he or she is usually a happy extrovert that loves power. A child of the Sun is sincere, honorable, magnanimous, and proud. As adults they are usually dignified and positive.



The Leo child is philosophical, forceful, and demonstrative. Because they are assured, Leos demonstrate faith, hope, and fortitude. This child is apt to be energetic and lavish in expenditure of energy and money when his or her sympathy or interest is aroused. Leos are usually popular and even-tempered but quick to anger if their Leo pride is hurt. Leos always aim for the stars, and with their determination and self-confidence, Leo children usually get there.



The Leo child is daring, unflinching, and unafraid and at times must be taught to curb his or her exuberance. Leos love to be at the head of things.



Leos' great organizing ability and commanding power usually bring success. They are charming and excel as artists, actors, and musicians, and succeed best where they have authority or where they hold responsible executive position.



Leos are most compatible with Gemini and Libra signs.

 
C-sect mummies..



For those c-sect mummies who wear the binder after the c-sect, can i ask are you gals still wearing it? when shall I remove the binder?

 
Congrats to those thar pooped...



DQ - Dun be upset... try to keep yourself relax... it help to expedite your dilation... I didn't dilate too when the pill were used.... is only until drip is use...

 
junie,

I think most prob ours would be leo babies alr. Haha leo + born in the year of tiger..its like gg to be super fierce man...haha



Jaclyn,

How much do they charge for that sheet? Haa can tell them dun put the sheet? Cos even if stained, its their bedsheet, so if we are gg to use the blue sheet, its for their convenience, not ours, so why should we pay for it..

 
redbb, whether to leave binder on is up to your preference. i dun like it so only wore binder 1 day . i don't wear binder after that.

 
thanks for the horoscope info ann! i'm actually so pleased that my baby decided to come out on 22 june, which makes a cancerian (like mummy!)- a day earlier and she'd be a gemini.

 
hi ladies!!!

im free!!!! howie bb has popped fr my tumtum!!

now in the ward.. 'resting'.

lol!

well, csect process isnt as scary as i'd imagine....

started my csect @ abt 9ish, now i can feel my toes liao.

pain on my wound is bearable. but the nurses asked me to take the painkiller...

the only thg tat freaks me out is the drip thgy stuck on my hand.

will update u all in a bit!!

 
sun_tan: Its 1.80 for a small one and $4 each for the big one. Haii at that time i so "seh" already from the epidural.. but actually that sheet is good la.. later visitors come then u stain all the bedsheets so paiseh hahaa!!

 
DQ,

congrats! and remember to post pics ya. Is the drip thingy very painful as well? Actually how long do we need to be on drip?

 
Jaclyn: Use towel cover or blanket.. I also agree with suntan.. we pay for the bill lor should include washing... or that sheet if they want washing to be easier.

 
jaclyn,

Hahah got blanket to cover mah. But the thing is they are so niao loh, charge us for the things that make them more convenience. Its not like we request for it. If not wrong, i think Mt A also charge for the blue sheets.

 
ceres, haha in the end i never go and watch despicable me, hubby suddenly called and said tonite watch sorcerer apprentice, went downstairs to buy coconuts and lunch only..

 
Hi

Shann: Wah! so nice! Heh... let me know nice or not. Me also planning watch like quite nice. Later confinement cannot spend time with HB le.

 
Jaclyn, yup they gave me the bag with all that too. But if you check your bills you'll see that they charge for 2 sanitisers heh. One for baby one for the room. But I agree that the service was great. Would choose tmc again [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
