alibaba,
me also latch n pump.. but my boy's timing very zhun one, so usually i will latch him on more.. during day, i will pump out n keep in the freezer, but one of the day feed, i will bottle feed him with EBM which i keep in room temp, so when he wakes up, can feed him straight. at night, the last feed usually is bottle feed with FM but dont know it doesnt seem to last him longer, so he will still wakes up on e dot for BM.. now my fridge is full of my EBM.. dont know how to settle it too...

Mvh,

Ann,
it's damn painful. I apply nursing cream n use low suction power to pump out my BM slowly, so won't b tat pain. N everytime when going to pump must really gu qi Yong qi. Even try b4 drag until cannot drag liao then go.

n_g: Yeah, I know how u feel... my blisters also damn painful. Confirm cannot wear bra at home.. lagi more painful cos bra keep rubbing against it. You can try putting your own EBM on the nipple and air-dry for a while. Think our BM should be more effective in healing than the nursing cream bah....

Jolenevoo: If its FM, then it might be a little too much? cos i read before somewhere in web that breastmilk is more diluted and hence shd be less lasting.. and hence more feeds cos baby easily hungry due to the easier digestion,,, whereas for FM , it is different.. it shd last longer and hence not that much needed??
My baby now also abt 2 weeks... he is having total breastmilk and he also drink like 100ml per 3-4hrs..
u maybe check with ur PD.. cos some CL like to overfeed babies ... so the babies can sleep after drinking and they gt less work..

Winnie,
you are right.
I managed to pump at 11.30am and 2.00pm. I began to see some milk on my inverted nipple. As for my the other one, I need to pump expressively as i think my girl did not latch well on it. Thanks to you all for your advices.
Jascmy,
you can read all the posts about breastfeeding. This can help you to be prepared after delivery. It really help for me although I delivered last friday.

re: Breast pump & spare part

penguin,
Pus coming out of the cord means there is an infection. Did you use the alcohol wipes to clean the cord? Need to clean the cord and area around it about 3 times a day. If you don't want the diaper to rub against the cord, u can buy Mamy Poko Newborn diapers. It has a special cutting that does not cover the cord.
How old is your baby? He's on formula milk right? He should be poo-ing every day at least once. Any reason why the PD say must give glucose water?

thanks for the advice! the PIS spare parts will cost me at least ~$40, including the tubing and the connecting unit itself. so far while i am home, the Avent pump serves me well but it takes me abt 30min to finish pumping both sides. i think i will wait for mybreastpump.com spree, the prices seem a lot cheaper since i will prob only need it when i go back to work.
alibaba,
last time i used neogarden. i think they are highly recommended in the forums. pricing, taste and portions are ok, but i found the food a bit oily.

Maybe you want to get another CL/family to help you. It's very tough to handle 2 bbs alone. Did someone mention her CL is great and is available in Sept? You can consider that.

hi mummies. My bb girl just discharged today.
I have something to ask regarding BF. Here is the scenario.
Latch bb's to right breast. after 15 mins, i tried to latch on her left breast. she refused and cried. after we calm her down, she look at us with her mouth open (the mouth is not moving). Does it mean that she is full?
after that, i still can pump some milk on my right side. worried tt bb is not having enough milk...

Starz,
i have the same situation as you. I can latch my girl with my right breast for 15mins. After that, i latch her on my left although its inverted, my girl will push away and cried. Initially i thought she is full but i realised she was not. My BM had not kick in. In the end i gave up latching and gave her FM till my BM kick in.
Re: catering
I am ordering four seasons as the food was very nice when i used for my wedding.
Re: Feeding
Currently I am feeding my girl with 60ml of FM. Sometimes she drink 20ml. Is it normal? Only just now, she managed to drink up to 50ml. I see her poo quite frequently before her feeding time. I am glad her poo colour had changed due to drinking FM. If give BM, what is the colour of the poo?

Hi All,
Congrats to AhNah.. and anyone I miss out who popped.. Those haven't popped.. Soon! Soon! Hang in there!
I discharge from hospital today with baby Greg, now after BF him then got time to sit down and post... anyway i copy and paste from my blog entry coz too lazy to retype...
Aug 15 2010
5.14am - Woke up with really bad stomach pain, and thought I'm going to have diarrhea. nevertheless, I timed myself and realized they are coming around 8 - 10 mins apart, but they are not getting consistently painful. After the 5th pain, I decided it was another false alarm and plonk back to zzzz.
6.00am - Woke up to pee not too long after the last pain. Saw blood. Went back to bed, woke up the HB and told him I'm bleeding. Called woody and was told to meet him at TMC.
6.10am - Arrived at TMC. 0 contractions. No pain, just pelvic heaviness. Kept telling Greg to hang in there, we are going to see each other soon.
7am - At observation ward. Nurse asked me to change into hospital gown, was so rattled I changed and left all my clothes in the toilet, and forgetting to pee for the nurse in the process.
7-8am - Nurse administered anema. Had the fastest diahorrea happened to me in my whole life history to date. Finally rem to pee for nurse. Back to bed and I remember experiencing 1st stage labour contractions and being 1 cm dilated. I keep imagining the vaginal examination to be awful from accounts I have read, but realized that so long as I am relaxed, it is actually bearable. Ok maybe I have a higher threshold for pain. Woody reached, I thought he is pulling another VE on me, but turns out he broke my waterbag. I look at him more in shock then in pain. "you broke my waterbag", I repeat like some dimwit. Woody calmly confirmed the accusation and took himself off. Maybe the guilt was too much for him to bear. Another nurse administered oxycodine (at least thats what I think it is) to speed up labour. Sadists, all of them nurses in the labour ward >(. Needle in my hand bothered me more then the contractions.
HB was at my side, holding my hand. I squeezed his like a lifeline. Contractions becoming more painful. Probably going to 2-3 cm dilation. Fellow pregnant mum at the bed diagonal mine started moaning in pain. Felt like asking her to shut up, you think only you pain, I also pain ok, but am polite even when trying to see if I can crack all the bones in my HB's hand from tolerating the pain.
8 - 8.30am - Pain still bearable. Probably beginning stage of 2nd stage labor. Feel like someone stuck half a dozen knives up my vjj. Forced myself to relax. Made the decision i wont be heroine, because the pain won't be getting less but getting more. By then my HB will probably have to amputate his hand, or worse, his arm. We can't have that. He still have another 50 years of being my slave to go.
I asked for epidural.
8.30am - 9am Dr Epidural reached, I was tense because suay suay he chose to poke the needle in me when I'm in the middle of another contraction. But compared to contraction this pain is NOTHING. i can take this pain like 10 times a day.
9am - 2pm - Violent shivering from epidural. Battled down occasional urge to puke. Have eaten nothing so I guess it was stomach acid trying to force its way up. Anyway managed to hold puke down. Otherwise very boring waiting with HB in delivery room. Epidural was given to me at high dosage initially. Nearly fainted. Nurse have to lower. Can feel contractions after that, but not painful, just uncomfortable. At some point nearing 3rd stage labour I can feel quite a lot of pain even with epidural. This one really feel like someone splitting my below apart with an ax, or stuck a dozen knives in me and left them there. I asked to increase epidural dosage. Nurse do VE check at some point, already 7cm dilated.
2pm +++ - Another VE check, 9.5cm dilated, I thought can push liao nurse ask me to wait.. I thought KNS, 0.5cm only alot of difference meh.... anyway.. very soon, 10 cm dilated, Woody show up in t-shirt and bermudas, put on scrubs, and ask me push.
2.26pm - Nurse push me on left, HB on right, me feel nothing but just try my best to push loh, 3 pushes, Greg was out, I was relived and tired, no strenght to talk cause really push like I never push before. Almost fell off bed pushing baby out. Then finally they put Greg on my chest, I rem HB very happy, got take pictures. Turns out Woody use vaccum to assist in getting Greg out, so his head slightly elongated. Looks very much like my HB.

Turns out Woody use vaccum to assist in getting Greg out, so his head slightly elongated. Looks very much like my HB.

u can test if baby is hungry by touching the side of her mouth, if she wans to suckle, that means stl hungry.
MVH,
could it be she is uncomfortable coz a lot of wind? try to burp between feeds if necessary. i aso got used colic drops called Ridwind for my son, i shld get a bottle to standby for my girl too.
penguin,
smtm things juz happen at same time; it is not within ur ctrl. if no aircon in the room, perhaps get a fan but dun blow directly at you. try not to think too much over every issue; it is not healthy for u and baby. take care!
