immas: my massage lady told mi to lie dwn n use 3 fingers to push from outward in to try clear the blockage

 


min min, i got the FUCIDIN H from PD too! bb chloe's rashes seems to subside le~ hehehe..



btw, how to make the font bigger n thicker ah? and the colour code? can teach me~?

 
Hmm currently puke milk n small bean curd strips..

Serene: ya I notice bb tongue got the residue.. How to clean. My CL say normal n gd. Gd her head.. She's siao.

 
When u mummies massage ur breasts , will they start to leak? Mine will start to leak when I m fixing the tubings to my pumps... Faint. So normally I dun massage before hand. I will massage my breasts while pumping.. If not leak, wasted my bm.

 
immas, I have it on my right breast areola, my left one doesn't have, i am also wondering whether it's blocked ducts, but when i pump, the milk shoot out lei.. like not blocked like that.. so i am not sure.. =(



suika: will still try your method, just in case is really blocked ducts!

 
ceres: bb tongue white white no good in the long run....it's milk residue....use towel to wrap ur finger n rub bb tongue to clean if bb no open mouth then u can go med shop get a liquid (taste sweet) u tell them it's to remove bb's milk stains on tongue they'll noe liao....put abit on the towel n bb shd open mouth n u quickly rub their tongue



shann: u touch ur breast see got lump anot....if got then it's blockage....i massage once n till now no problem....u clear the lumps ur ss will increase.....my massage lady says 1

 
suika,



my gal is 5yrs old now.. my gal is also at the stage of KPOing & also like to demand ppl to do this & tat..

like she is a teacher or elder sis in the hsehold.. LOL~

and she nag non-stop.. cannot tahan her.. she can re-peat non-stop until u give her the stuff she wans... fainted...





irene,

right now u still enjoy with 1 bb.. but later on u have 2 head le with 2 bb to look after.. LOL~~

although it is so much fun to see the kids interact with each other.. but also the same time worried they get jealous with each other.. etc.. etc..



but 2 kids are more than enuf.. no more no less.. just nice le.. :D

 
sukia,



hahah~~ usually i bath my boy.. i will keep asking him to open mouth for me to clean his gums and tongue.. lOL~~



& also after bath le, i use "jin feng shan" to rub his gum & tongue too.. LOL~~

 
ceres -- use a cloth and use ur little finger to wipe lor.. use boiled cool water hor.. no tap water ah... the white thing can cause thrush.. er.. something like kou qiang wen ti... must clean hor... dun leave there..



it wont be completely clean clean tongue la.. but as long as dun have one layer there can liao...



shun pian run thru bb gums too..

 
Can I check ebm in rm temp store 4hr, nerd to warm it up? Hubby & I thinking of direct latch & ebm in rm temp.

Not sure is it those milk in fridge when we warm it maybe not warm enuff cause bb vomit..

 
ceres, bb puking is v common. so long as bb is not puking a lot of the feed few times a day, it's fine. some vomit is generally quite common in newborn

 
ceres: no need to warm up again.. room temperature is perfectly fine. You can use your hands and wrap around the bottle to warm it up abit if u like.



Dont forget every time you warm your bm up, it loses some nutrients.



for baby puking, perhaps you want to shorten the drinking duration and slot in burping sessions in between.

 
Ceres-ebm at room temp is ok, unless your bb is sensitive or very used to warm milk. In the What to Expect book they even say bbs can take cold milk no problem, just depends on what they're used to.



Sigh I know mil is like that.mine also didn't care abt me when I was preggy.still can joke, "need me to make tonics or not HAHA" funny meh??! Don't want to make then don't pretend to offer la. Once bb came then want to act like very close to bb. Ask her friends to come to our house to see bb (i said to hubby no, these strangers are NOT coming to my house), during full month party carry bb non stop walk ard so ppl will crowd ard her. cannot tahan. I mostly just ren and don't respond to her irritating comments. Seems rude but if I open my mouth when I'm so pissed confirm will say horrible things then my hubby will be stuck.

 
Scared! Just tdy he vomit a pool then on off puke frm the sides. Think abt nearly 10times total up. I can't bear to see it lor..

 
ceres maybe you wan to check with your PD? Not sure if puking 10 times is considered ok.. just check to be sure [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] It also depends on the amt of milk he vomits out..

 
ceres - my CL also think that it's because of the chilled EBM that's why bb was cranky yesterday, she thinks after warming up still not warm enough cuz thinking that it's out from the fridge.



Luckily, she is receptive, i told her PD said ok no problem. (I think she was also shocked that i stored EBM in freezer! even more jialat then fridge rite. This is the first time she does confinement, she was my nanny 20 over years ago, and that time, she doesn't BF her children so she is not very updated about breastfeeding). After telling her that chilled EBM after warming up is perfectly fine to drink, she was ok le..



And today bb chloe has been sleeping really well, she no longer said it's because of my chilled EBM, she said because we on air-con that's why bb sleeps so well.

 
Jaclyn: We are still monitoring his condition. Hope is the normal puking.



Shann: Is my guessing. CL say is normal for BB puke but on off the puke is just seconds or minutes after feeding. Also cause my CL dunno how to use bottle warmer i abit scared.

Me thinking just continue pump put fridge if expire just throw.

 
hershey: ur girl big liao so mayb she needs an older companionship....wait till ur bb 1yr old like that then will b fine liao lah

my girl no wana open her mouth lor so my godmum oni managed to clean the fromt part of her tongue



ceres: if puke abit then no problem....last time my boi oso like that...that time mi 1st bb so more kan jiong brought him see PD plus everytime he drinks his face will turns very red so we scared plus got alot of phlegm when he puke.....in the end PD says it's very normal so long not vomiting out like half of his intake etc then no nid to worry.....u can monitor few days more if still worry then go see doc....at least can have an assurance from doc

EBM in freezer can keep min 4mths sure can finish 1 provided ur ss is really alot....dun throw away, use to soak ur feet or wash ur face lor...i heard it's v good

 
ceres - aiyo.. don't waste your BM, keep in freezer, just thaw it overnight and make sure she warms the milk properly, are u using pigeon milk warmer? now i make sure the EBM is warm before giving to bb.. 70 degrees for 5 minutes, pigeon warmer

 
Qns...



u all got face this prob? bb sleep liao suddenly wake up fuss and grunt and kek and kek and then cry out loud? u carry liao no prob...

 
heres what i recently read about reflux



Feed baby half as much, twice as often.

That is the main reflux rule. Smaller, more frequent feedings are easier to digest, allowing milk to be emptied from the stomach faster.



Keep baby upright after a feeding.

Keep him upright and quiet (no jostling, please!) for at least a half-hour after feeding. This lets gravity help empty the milk from the stomach quicker. Wear your baby many hours a day in a soft carrier. Try to keep your baby as calm as you can during digestion, because crying increases intra-abdominal pressure and aggravates reflux.



Breastfeed as often and as long as possible.

Breastmilk is appropriately dubbed the easy-in/easy-out food because it empties from the stomach much quicker than formula and softens baby's stools to prevent constipation, which also might aggravate reflux.



If formula feeding, ask your doctor about a "hypoallergenic" formula. These pre-digested formulas (Alimentum and Nutramigen) empty from the stomach quicker than standard formulas. Also, babies with reflux have a higher incidence of intolerance to cows-milk-based formulas.



Encourage frequent sucking. Saliva acts both as a natural lubricant and helps repair the irritated lining of the esophagus. Let your baby suck on your finger, or even a pacifier, between feedings.



Elevate baby at night.

To let gravity help your baby at night, elevate the head of his crib approximately thirty degrees by placing blocks under the two front feet of baby's crib. You could also try a reflux wedge, available from infant product stores. This wedge allows baby to sleep at about a 30 to 45 degree angle, thus lessening regurgitation and painful night waking.



Keep a diary.

Note your baby's symptoms and jot down everyday whether they're getting better, worse, or staying about the same. Your observation will help your doctor prescribe the appropriate acid-controlling medicines.



Get support. Consult the Pediatric and Adolescent Gastroesophageal Reflux Association (PAGER) at reflux.org. This organization is composed of parents and professionals who have had children with reflux. They are very knowledgeable about the treatment.

 
ceres -- i think u shud bring bb to PD.. i think bb puking too much liao.. my ML who was a CL before told me that.. bb will puke but not too often and shud not puke out their whole feed.. a bit nevermind..



mine will puke during sudden hiccups and startle or kek-ing.. but not as frequent as urs.. i think more than 5 times is quite serious lei.. how much ur bb spits?

 
Serene: Thanks! Planning to record down the puking. His puke not one shot sometime bit by bit. Well i think not half bah But gonna monitor tmr and thurs gonna go KKH check up shun bian ask doc.

 
hi mummies.. long time never come in this thread liao... more or less settle down... went through engorgement,nipple bleed...till now expressing BM for bb become smoother.....



My 12 days old boy is drinking about 90 ml per feed..every 2 hourly.. like that normal ma?.. cos my 2 gals all only drink 60 ml at 1 month yet this boy can drink this much...



I can express about 180-210ml every 4 hourly.. hope can express more so that meet his "requirement"..

 
Hi mothers, do keep up with your breastfeeding. It was tiring to do night feeds, but my confinement lady helps me to change baby's diapers after feeds. Today, I was very happy when the baby doctor says that baby has put on weight. From 3.07kg last week to 3.38kg this week. I'm doing total breastfeeding, on demand, and latching on. Too lazy to express at the moment. My baby breastfeeds every 2-3 hours. And I was very lucky to get some good advice from a lactation consultant, so that helped me solve my sore nipple problems.

 
serene,

There was once my boy suddenly burst out crying while he was sleeping. It was real loud! Then i carry and rock a bit and he quite down and went back to sleep. CL and i think that he is having nightmare, thus that sudden reaction.

 
Breastfeeding Mummies after confinement, do u all drink cold water and start taking "unhealthy" food? Cos I keep crave for deep fried food n cold drinks. Feel abit guilty towards my boy as I TBF him..

 
suika,

hope so when my boy grow up.. my gal will play & share with her little bro.. LOL~~





serene, jo_lyn,

LOL~~ i have already eat whatever i can eat le.. even chocolate, sushi... but cold drink not s much s b4 le.. but i am still on bf..

 
Breastfeeding cannot drink cold drink ah? Then can I drink cold drink if I express BM?



Today is my 40th day, last day for confinement food and I can finally eat other food tomorrow! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
Hershey: dun worry when bigger they will share....starting i oso worry that my #1 will b jealous but guessed i worried too much seeing him even noe how to kiss meimei when he's oni 19mos now



YEAH!!! later afternoon can finally bath n wash hair for the 1st time....2wks into confinement now

 
Hi mummies. Just wondering- how many times do ur babies wake up at night for feed? My baby is 3 weeks old and she wakes up every 2.5 to 3 hrs for feed, no matter day or night. I read in this book called babywise that babies, by 7th or 8th week sld b able to sleep through the night.



Care to share ur experience? I have been trying to leave my baby in her cot to fall asleep on her own without rocking or carrying her. But grandparents love rocking her to sleep in their arms, it's super against my philosophy[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] makes mr very frustrated because when my baby cries for attention at night, I'm e one who suffer[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif]

 
Coolqoo: nice supply. U have met ur bb criteria. My bb & urs I think 1 day difference? Mine 29 jul born or is it same date? Anyway mine drinking 70ml & I think not enuff for him cause recently he been asking for milk less than 2hr or hourly..



Shann: mine is avent warmer. CL dun lie to use cuz she find it ley chey.



Cold water:

Just finish feeding baby @ 4plus & BB refuse to sleep. He is now full of energy & ready to play. He slept too much during daytime. I tried to wake him & dun let him sleep so much during day but if he wanna sleep, even if there is an earthquake also sleep thru kind. Even if he wakes, he gets angry & cries fiercely then fall back to sleep again.



Now i passed him to my CL to settle him cause i so tired le. Wonder when can he sleep thru the night.
