(2010/07) July 2010 MTB

Ceres mine 44 days Liao. Till now also timing siao siao when come to feeding. Night time quite regular. But day time sometimes 1hr plus cry for milk. Usually I will just let him drink. My boy also will poo abit when he fart. But when he really poo will be like what u say. Atomic bomb. Haha! N u can c his relief face..

 


sharing my experience...



for night feedings... bb have a routine timing liao.. its about 9ish, 11ish - double dose (she will drink a lot a lot).. then 1am for dream feed (sometimes we got her too awake then battle).. but after that.. she will sleep till 5-6am then start her morning feeding routine



bb now latch for 10 - 15 mins nia.. instead of the past like 20 - 30 mins..



i change her diapers the moment she wakes up so that i dun wake her up if she sleeps while latching.. if not battle again..



she normally poo while sleeping, then after poo, she will be hungry and wake up for feed. she cannot drink properly if her diapers is dirty (this is her very bad habit)... i have to change her then feed her. but i will avoid changing after feed. so i will unlatch after 10 mins, change her and feed her again.

 
same same, bb chloe's last feed before she sleeps will be ard 11pm/12pm, then wake up at 330am/4am for another feed, then 6am/7am for morning feed le.. so i wake up to pump at 4am just nice can see her hehhee..

 
Jolyn/serene/Shann: Night i slp like pig normally i wake bb alrdy coax to slp so i dunno night routine but i know feed FM he can tong for 3hrs but BM the most 2hr or less which CL hates it.

i only know day time routine. Same as Serene latching from 20mins now drop to 16mins the most than he snooze liao.. later i pump the sound will wake him (his light sleeper) than he keep crying for milk again. Think i too smelly so he can't tahan and faint. Haha.



Last time in the day CL lazy go down take my EBM so after i told her night use EBM, she now willing to go down take my EBM, cause she want to faster finish it than night no need climb down. Too late..now my SS > BB sure got extra to keep. Haha. Now i can produce abt 180ml after combining both left & right BM.



currently got 4 bottles pumped in 8 Aug 530am onwards till 11pm.

Another 2 bottles pumped 9 Aug 8am to 12pm.

More to collect.. but fridge getting squeezy. Need to bring out more VIA cup. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hey! I remember someone mention the 4-4-4 rule. EBM in fridge can stall for 48hrs only according to KKH book. But in the medela book, inside say fridge can store 3-8days (4 degree celsuis).. which is which ar? who to belief?

 
ceres: for mi i oni keep ebm in fridge for 2 days which is 48hrs. bb pig snore? could it b coz nose blocked? but bb still small nose very small so we cannot do much now...wad i do is to gently rub her nose hopping that later she'll sneeze out herself

 
hello all.. havent been logging in for long le.. as suspected, i have developed mastitis.. 2 days after seeing the LC, I went to see a GP to get antibiotics. given 10 day supply but till now there is no improvement, in fact is getting worse. i dun dare to BF. once i grit my teeth and used full force to press on the red swollen lumps, dark yellowish, thick and weird smelling milk came out that i got a shock.. i think is pus.. but now i cant press the lumps already because it is too painful. when i express, the milk is normal clear white and i tasted it, it is salty! so i have to pump and throw.... cant yield much anyway only 20ml max each breast cos it is badly swollen and engorged. used to be able to pump 100-120ml per breast. i cant do anything because touching any part of my breast now is so painful.



i even lost the milk smell that my baby doesnt root for my breast when i carry her. last time, she will reject bottle if i feed but now she dont. i am in pain and depressed...



tmr i going to make appt to see breast surgeon. hope can drain out the pus... sigh



my bb has been taking FM for quite long low. i so want to bond with her and BF her..

 
Suika: sometime got nose block sometime no. He also love to sigh.. Hah. Currently my ebm also 2 days. But remember someone mention abt the 4-4-4 rule. Dunno can apply or not.

 
phy,

That time you mentioned that you wanna do rebonding before your boy's full month party. So did u do it in the end? I also thinking of doing it before the party..not sure if my CL allows me to go out anot :p

 
ceres: i think there's alot of rules that we can apply so it's up to individual see which applies best for our own situation ba

 
ceres, wow you can pump a lot! how often do you pump? my bb also make snorting sound. i thought maybe she got phlegm?



sweetkiss, poor you, sounds so painful. don't be sad, even bottle feeding also can bond. my bb doesn't really like me to carry her, she only wants me when it's breastfeeding time. but now i have headache, she doesn't want to be bottle fed. i tried expressing today because nipple very sore, she refused to drink, end up still have to latch on.

 
Suika: dunno if store more than 2days ok or not.

Coco: dunno why sudden increase.. I tdy no pump. Try feed a bit to release the engorge. Usually 3-4hr pump once if latch iwill pump out excess. Night from 7pm I slp till next morning pump 2 times. I scared pump pump too much dunno put where.

 
ceres, the cooler packs can last v long , approx 12 hrs. so every nite before i zzz, will pass her the bottles. no water coz these are cooler packs, v convenient. just place 2 blocks in the cooler box.



my CL is pro BF so no problem for her to handle the EBM, etc. by the way, she also auto washes my clothes. she will also write down every detail of how much EBM she feed , at what time and when my bb poop. when i want to latch, i just tell her, then she will bring bb to me during the feed time. she is god send help....



i keep 2 full days of EBM and freeze 1 pack of EBM everyday.

 
Sweetkiss: once u recover take time to train bb latch or drink bm. Tat time I stopped abt 4days, my boy forgot. We force him face my nipple n drink my bm. Slowly than he accept.. Some bb will remember so dun worry. Now the most impt thing is to let ur breast heal than provide milk for bb.

Tk gd cr of urself n bb.

 
Pillow: lucky u! Mine nv record.. Keep saying nv heard of this. Just now bb umbilical cord that area bleed (cord dropped 4days ago) just now saw blood I ask her how she tell me I dunno. later she try to tell me this has nv happen b4. So gd, all bb she tk cr all no problem only mine got?

Anyway, won't b getting cooler pack for her. Just now she purposely bring ebm up when I going latch. Than use hot water warm it.. Dunno wat she do.. Kind of hot lor.. I tell her than she say ya lor but initially she say e

temp ok. Nvm.. Sigh. After drinking bb immediately puke. I didn't see her put in warm water.. Later when she come up got to ask again.

U & suntan fortunate to find gd CL.where did u get urs?

 
sweetkiss, so sorry to hear about your condition. can understand how painful it is . i have been through 2 rounds of mastitis during my #1 time. the pain is still fresh in my head.



cabbage leaves does work magic. to relieve pain, try continuously change chilled cabbage leaves in the meantime before your appt tomorrow ? tke care!

 
Sun tan,

yeap I went to rebond my hair few days before baby shower[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] couldn't stand the mess. Felt so much better after that

 
Sweetkiss

oh dear it sounds sooo painful... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] hope all will be well for u soon...

 
How do we know if develop manitis? Bb keep puking I scared..

Pillow: oh.. Mine is Frd CL reccomend cuz she unable do for me. Sigh. Gimme lousy one.

 
when i had mastitis, my boob feels extremely sore and tender to touch. followed on my fever, shivers and aches. pumping volume drops and the pain on the breasts escalate despite pumping/latching frequently.

 
pillow: really? but i heard cabbage leaves will lower milk supply. i also same case.. i lost all mood to do anything cos the pain is lingering.. everytime after pumping i try to press the lump real hard to squeeze out the pus... but if i overdo it, i will develop chills and shiver non stop. then i cover myself in thick blankets and sleep. wake up time, i have fever that lasts for 1 hr..

 
OH...i hears manitis is very painful n at times they might even nid to use needles to poke n press out...



ceres: if possible try not to keep to long in the fridge then in the freezer try to keep away from raw food...for mi i store EBM on the top level n all the raw stuffs at the most bottom n of coz my fav ice-cream below my EBM....awaiting for confinement to end n i can start attacking all the ice-cream...heehee

 
sweetkiss: u use warm towel to press on ur breast instead....then try to slowly press ur breast see if that helps

 
use needle poke? By ourself huh? actually i very tempted to do that but i scared later make it worse, then i die...



warm towel i tried le, in fact overused it that the skin around my boob very dry and peeling... my breast really look KNS.. I dun even dare to pump in front of hubby scared he see my breast.



even if i manage to squeeze out hor, next few hours milk comes in again and it gets swollen once more. i keep repeating the process till the sore area grew bigger. that's why i so scared now..

 
sweetkiss: not poke by ourselves lah...those LC or doc....i think u better see LC fast n get them to help before it get worst.....i think ur ss alot that's y....see LC then later will b ok liao my friend oso like u that time n after awhile she's ok n she's still BF-ing till now...her boi n my boi same age 19mos now...so dun worry...no problem 1

 
sweetkiss: i heard mai(4) ya(1) can help to reduce ss....maybe u would like to reduce ur ss but u hv to b prepared later reduce too much cannot bring up ss....best solution is still to see LC first then decide from there

 
SK -- wish u get well very soon!!



dont worry my dear.. dun compare urself with others... its ok if u cannot give ur bb bm.. give what u can (including FM) to your bb.. after all, we strive thru so hard is to see bb grow up everyday healthy and happy right?



dun worry about the bonding.. u can also try other ways.. talk to bb, play with bb, bathe bb, change bb.. when bb cry, let bb know u can sooth him.. when bb needs a change, let bb know u are the one who can provide all these..



u are a great mama u know? because of providing bb the best, u endured all these pain. and instead of complaining how bad bfing can be.. u are actually worrying about not able to provide for bb.. u are very wei da already...



jia you.. drink a lot of water cause water can help to pai du also.. and.. dun tramatise the wound liao.. ventilate it.. run thru it with hot water so ur wound will be shou (cooked).. haha sorry.. my english very lousy... then let the dr remove the pus. once pus is removed, everything will be back to normal..



very fast de.. we will be sharing tips again.. kampateh!

 
Just to share why my ss sudden went up.

last few day my ss also low. I think cuz 2days ago, I emptied my breast, both by pumping, than like 30mins later or less bb cried I latch him. He very unhappy cuz no milk but I try squeeze & came out abit only so I insist bb suck. After 2 times my milk ss went up. Think body got reaction say 50ml not enuff need produce more.. Lol. Now both breast if no latching can pump up to 180ml.

Serene, here you are~~



Hey last time Celeste have heatrash right? i suspect my gal also has it now.. so just bring to PD to get some medicine will do? what is the medicine that the PD prescribed to you? how to bring it down? T_T



It's spreading towards her inner eyelid le.. saw lots of red dots on her forehead and cheeks..

 
Sun tan,

yeap, discarded the first pump of bm.



Can de. I did this twice le. Also went rebond hair while bfing number 1

 
Shann,

my boy also heat rash. Just keep bb cool. I wash his face with cetaphil. Will come and go de.



Of coz if u want fast results, doc will give u mild steroid.. But hor, prolong use of steroid can thin the skin

 
my CL thinks that must always keep bb warm, day and night also wear long sleeves and pants. I wanted her to wear romper only she said cannot.. She opens the window a little and close the curtain at night, and on the fan, but there is not much air ventilation and the room is stuffy for me.. day time is better she opens the curtain.



today bb is cranky, can feel that she is uncomfortable.. CL said is it because of my chilled BM, she said though we heat up but maybe it's still cold inside? i told her no.. we heat up already, 70 degrees for 5 minutes (pigeon milk warmer) is enough.



She thinks something wrong with my BM, too cold for bb.. so she made FM for bb just now le.. hai..........

 
So hot for bb... Think bb feels uncomfy bah, given tt they can't regulate their body temperature well yet...



Maybe tt's y she gets heat rash? Felt so hot today. Bb and I hid inside air con room most of the time.

 
shann: it's true that must keep bb warm at all times now esp when less then 1mth oni but the room temp shd b kept at between 25-27deg n recently the weather's really v hot n stuffy...i even on the aircon awhile w fan on to keep the temp dwn....as for the temp of EBM i normally use the warmer for awhile then i'll gently shake it to see if the warm last to see if the temp last....if it cools dwn too fast then means EBM not warm enuff....hope that helps

 
my MIL has been giving my FB acc to his friends n relatives saying wana see bb photos but i dun feel like adding them....but how to reject nicely? feeling so no privacy....so angry lor....FB it's my personal stuffs ley....no ask mi n i keep getting ppl requesting friend add...so angry!



my PIL side shd b call as yeye n nai nai n not ahgong ahma lor...keep making my boi call them ahma...feel so much to tell her off! where got ppl so STUPID 1...their daughter's kids call them ahgong ahma so how can their grandkids call the same s their daughter's kids....it's common sense stuff rite....feel like telling her if she so wana him to call her ahma then i might s well change his surname to mine instead....我的命不好没那个福气有你这种妈妈 ... can tell my son saying his mother wana stave him to death!....haizzz



sorry for the complains....i really duno wad to do to reject the friend request from them in FB

 
SK: My dear, I am going through the same as you now!! But mine haven't developed into fever stage yet. I have this lump underneath my right breast and it is so painful to touch it. I have been massaging and pressing it like crazy to clear it but it don't seem to go away!!! Then my milk blister on my right nipple is back and so is the shooting pain. Damn miserable. Somemore today was my baby's first mth party... had to endure the pain and smile at ppl still.. sigh.

Tmr I am going to see the gynae for help with the blocked duct.. hopefully it will clear away soon.. really painful =\



You are very weida.. I also feel myself damn weida to endure this kind of pain for our child. I kept telling my hubby I wanna give up liao , its too much pain!! My son also dont seem to be cooperating with me.. he keep fighting with me when i try to latch him. Really requires me to be super duper patient which is not really one of my strong point....
