qq,
oh thanks.
any mummies gonna use tummy blinder for your newborn to protect his/her umbilical cord?
my MIL said should put sesame oil on it to prevent water from entering, i was like "huh?? how can put sesame oil on my baby."
i think the umbilical cord should stay dry all day long right?

i first time heard of that too. shocked me >< scared she will secretly do that without my knowing.
i just checked online, must keep it clean and dry. what if there's bleeding? must apply powder? cannot just use any kind of powder right?

night feeds
i got a few different pt of views leh. some say if can slp let them slp. some of u here say must wake bb up ev 3 hrly.. but wont this create a habbit to bb to wake up at night for feed? it's v tiring for the care taker to wake up oftenly... my #1 is like tat lor. even til today. sometimes he still ask for milk in the middle of the night...
QQ

dreymin, oh I didn't know if letdown is fast, they get more wind. Thanks for the info. I really have to remember to burp my boy more frequently now.
QQ, 3 hourly cry for milk at night is normal what....... I thot that's what breastfed babies normally do. Mine is every 1 hour and he only does chut this pattern at night.... sometimes I am amazed that I can still stay awake during day time to look after #1 plus, feed #2....
Sunflower, yup, my boy hiccups quite often too... but he's not a fast drinker...
Jasmine, sesame oil?? Never heard of that before. Maybe can ask ducklingeshop cos I rem she said her CL uses a oil on her baby that smells like sesame oil.......

Thanks mummies for all the advise. Think I will use Pigeon initially then change to cheaper alternatives like Kodomo after the 1st/2nd month.
Cheekrene, I agree that Pigeon bundled products are selling at the same price everywhere. But since I have Taka vouchers so might as well go down and grab some stuff.
Frankly speaking, I'm not ready to be mummy too. Afraid that I can't be a good mummy.

I don't know Amy mummies like me, I got totally no appetite during confinement . Only feel like drinking cold water n eat fruits. And everything about my bb , i want to do myself , feeding bathing all those . Like night feed , hubby want me to rest but whenever he feed , I will want to sit beside n watch . I scare bb don't know who am I and not close to me . Do i have depression ? Cos I keep feeling very gulity for not giving bb breast milk .
Ann, oh yes.every 3 hour is ok.. i typed wrongly la.. haha!!! he wakes up every 2 hour...
but yours 1 hour, more serious. cause i dun latch him at night, he drinks full full then sleep.
i can still tahan every 1 hour latching if i am 18-20 yo, now? i am old liao, i can die of exhaustion.
xuan, there is no bad mummies de, unless u dun want the baby and abuse baby. just stay HAPPIE! we learn and support each others along the journey. tell your hb that. both of u need to support each others.

Ann, actually breastfed babies no need to be burped.. But if he/she cries before or in between feeding, then need to be burped, as they might swallowed too much air when crying..
I try to burp my gal now every feed.. Sometimes successful, sometimes cannot.. But I think my gal feels better after 'standing upright' for a while..

MVH, yes, he cries before and also in between feedings... all along I thought he was just angry with my breast.... kekeke
White Lady, this is my #2 but I also wanna do everything myself. Have to keep reminding myself that I paid good money for my CL so I try to delegate to her some duties. I don't think u have depression lar..... Stop thinking that way okay? And please don't feel guilty about breastfeeding. No doubt alot of pple say breast milk is best but if u already made a choice not to give BM, then just move on and focus on how well your baby is doing with FM! We all grew up on FM last time, didn't we?
mirai, congrats! I think your baby is champion weight for our Aug thread... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Suika, wat I know is papaya has lotsa vitamin A. N vitamin A is e culprit for causing e skin to be yellowish aka jaundice.. But I read that a little papaya doesn't cause much effect to jaundice, but I just wanna play safe.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

actually i din get any massage this round. i hope i dun regret nex time but last round was not really effective for me so this time i give it a miss.
mamyvelle, i gave my #1 my bm, cham cham with her FM. then she told me spicy. i wonder if it is too SWEET for her, so spicy. she kept saying how come today's milk so spicy. luckily she finished all. heng! but i think i must mix with some water tomorrow. she is 3.5 yo.

I am not using binder for the umbilical cord cos i scared later it may adsorb any sweat/urine from the diaper. Have to keep it dry.
I think the hospital will provide alcohol swaps to clean around the cord. Have to do it like 3x a day, according to the antenatal class trainer.
