just wanna share some info i found online about avocados. for ladies with MS, seems like eating them helps.
Avocados are also rich in B Vitamins which may help with morning sickness or other nausea, and the are high in folic acid - essential in preventing abnormalities whilst the baby is growing.
They contain monounsaturated fat - the 'good fat' and are free of cholesterol and sodium. The avocado also contains the most dietry fibre, with 60% more potassium than a medium banana.
i had some this morning and it seems to help my MS. you can put the fruit in a fruit blender with ice and then add some honey. quite nice.
BB Rabit: taking your 5kg with thanks ;p maybe i should start a fat bank.

Talk abt weight
I hope in another 2
weeks when I go back to see dr Adrian for my 4 mth, I will see the gain in the weight scales! Cos now ( touchwood), that my MS has stopped for 10 days, and my appetite increase better.
But do u gals feel that u get hungry easily???
Cos since ever my last horrible MS was over, I must eat my breakfast n lunch n dinner in time, if not, my mind will play a trick to tell me to vomit like that and I have to control myself!
Also, do u all also feel the pulling at lower abdomen getting more tight? Or tense??
Now as I m lying down, I feel better than i walk

andrea, hmm i ate 1 slice durian cake plus many many durian cos my papa keep buying mao shan wang every weekend haha, but i tell him to stop buying le to be safe. cos me and hb both are tall genes, if bb continue growing at this rate, i am worried abt the delivery haha!
spongehat/lailai, i can also spare u 5kg! sighhh. actually i read that 1st trim not supposed to gain alot of weight de, even zero weight gain is fine de lor, so u girls dun worry. 2nd and 3rd trim confirm will gain de. So if 1st trim u dun gain is good, after delivery less pounds to shed ma!
pixiepixel/BB rabit, sayang.. me too!! ytd i felt so disheartened after seeing the 5kg gain, then when i went for the scan, gynae says i am not fat that's why easier to see the gender too. I almost hugged her haha! After that hb also ask me to eat more and "grow fatter" so bb got more space to do butterfly stroke in my tummy - faints!

Lailai: hmm. actually avocado doesn't have much taste. it tastes refreshing bah. that's why if you add some honey, then will have some sweetness to it. it's also quite filling. it's my new bff now [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Milo can take a temporary backseat.
Linda: i'm in the same boat as Lailai. i get hungry almost every hour but not much appetite. but gotta force myself to eat something or i'll be nauseous.
audrey: actually i can't wait for my appetite to return so that i can enjoy mooncake festival in peace and start piling in the calories... kekeke

must testify that breasfeeding really helps lose weight faster. My frens who bf, slim at a faster rate than those who didn't.
Oh yes, advocado milkshake is yummy! And it's good food for us and baby. Like rach, I'll make my own on most weekends and top it off with chocolate syrup or gula melaka. Most Indonesian restaurants make this as their dessert.

wah lau eh, i tell u hor, my lansinoh milkbags customers, they have common grouches
1. no milk (most frequent qn)
2. cannot let down
3. why milk output drop
i think so many email i wrote, so many sms ive typed, can compile to instruction manual liao...
btw, i sure empty my boobs. my fridge is big to start with and its empty most of the time so i store all my milk in my fridge...yes there were few times i had to chuck away some milk....but.....
got empty=got produce milk=your body consumes more energy=lose weight faster
no empty=produces lesser=body dont need so much energy=no lose weight to the max
so i'd rather lose weight and buy extra fridge if need be

when its time, you come look for us in here, we sure encourage not to give up yah?
most commom mistakes mummies made was they tried hard but no milk so they stopped. actually milk will come in eventually...(different body varying different time/period)
therefore, never give up even when you dont see milk!
for full explanation of let-down, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactation

Ooh this BF talk is informative! Like lailai and airmez, i am an absolute noob when it comes to BF too.
2ks, so that's what let down means. I think i saw a scene in the movie "Grown Ups" where the mum had a let down, though hers is more like a hose than a mini tap lol.
andrea, oh my u are so light! i think the only time i was 42kg was in primary school oops... please eat more!

i only bring in lansinoh. blue eggs i tried before. their storage limit is very small...less than 200ml only rite? and they leaked easily (when i used them). lansinoh i can store up to 300ml per bag, which is quite a lot if you have over supply of bm
airmez
many reasons. i think the most common reason why ppl pump exclusively was because we have difficulties latching our babies onto our breasts. latch or pump still the same effect - you think of the long term goal: your bb is to drink your bm. thats all it matters. pump or latch; your bb also drinking your bm
most mummies (hardworking ones) latch liao and pump out the rest. this way, we produces more milk.
i always tell my customers, you control your brain, not your brain control you. you tell ur brain how much to produce, not the other way round

airmez: there was once which i dont want to waste the milk so hubby drank it...LOL
my dogs always very excited when they see MILK!
latch-pros: convenient, anytime, anywhere, no need to wash bottles, no need to warm it. bonding with baby
latch-cons: wouldnt know how much bb is drinking, on standby always, no one can help to feed/take care if you are not around, hard time making the baby switch to bottle.

Starfruit,
I have not buy yet as i am not 18th weeks yet. You have to be 18th weeks above to be eligible to buy.
My sis-in-law bought it for $420 ( $320, one time cost, for protection for MTB until delivery. $100 monthly for the yet to be born baby. It is like buying life insurance for the baby and with coverage since first day of born.)

airmez: some ppl pump is because bb cant latch properly, nipple pain, nipple problems like short nipple, inverted nipple.
but pump can monitor how much baby is drinking...
during the 1st 2 months, i pump and latch baby, latch is more to snack, cos i have one short nipple, so baby can only latch on one side...but i wanna try and feel the bonding, so i mix both.
until 3rd month, i give bottle 100% cos i want to get back to work, dont want baby to get use, and also wanna monitor how much he is drinking so that i can gauge the timing too...

I latch 24/7 after 1st 3 mos cuz no space to keep my EBM at all.. Pump n throw.. After 2 rounds of throwing I decide to stop pumping. Kept my pump n latch full-time..
The most easiest career of BF...
Take off bra n feed.. Finish wear back bra..
I mean remove the hook only la.. I wear Bravado ma...
No washing, sterilizing, cleaning, drying needed..
Super fuss free.. Even right now as I'm typing this.. My #1 is latching..
Waiting for more milk sample to come then I can wean her off... If I ever get to do it... Lol...

let-down actually is the hormones sending signals up to your brain, and your brain will send signals for your nipples/breast muscles to start eject the milk...
the TMC books (a set of 3) quite informative (although outdated), those who goes for the FBI will get them. one of the book touches on bfding (i think written by wong BB) and it explains almost everything

bb rabit: all mothers will have Milk!! It just that how much only...to me my logic is if hardworking, drink lots of fluids, sure have milk de...
i super encourage bf de...i guide a few ppl on bf already...but too bad, they eventually give up cos they feel its take up too much of their time.

ive actually been thinking - if i could latch on my #2 this time round....would i do total latching? but like what 2ks said, i would have a hard time switching bb to bottle when i go back to work.
my #1 didnt had a hard time switching to bottle coz he was given the bottle at 2wks old.......
hmmmmmmm thinking, thinking
most prob 50-50. from start, latch in day, bottle feed at night

2K> I agree with the pros n cons u mentioned EXCEPT the need to know how much baby is drinking.. During prenatal class, the teacher was saying... There's no need for us to know.. Inshort, it's none of ur biz how much baby is drinking.. When baby us full, she/he will unlatch...
So no need to worry...
So I never bother to know how much she drink..
Enouh she will unlatch.. 3 hrs later I latch again or earlier or later... But I'm almost with her 24/7.. So I can do this la...
It's really tiring la... And no ME time.. But after 1 yr also used to it Liao..[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

pixie: i dont want to freeze 300ml...cos son wont drink 300ml that much per time...usually i freeze 180ml per time...so i defroze one pkt each time...easier for me..
me opp, i use lasinoh, it leaks twice...so i switch to blue eggs...but pigeon milk bag is the best i find, no mess at all..

Lai lai> u didn't hear me?? I'm still latching my girl... And I'm in this thread!!! So it's not true that Bf won't get preggie...
It depends on when ur body starts ovulating.. Once ur body starts ovulating, u will have menses or not, and u will get preggie!!
My menses came one month before I was preggie and I knew my body has started to ovulate again...to me.. Ovulation means my body is ready for another kid...
Just didn't know so zun... And so fast.. Hahahaha...
I only have ONE menses since Nov 2008..
My menses returned after my girl was 8mos and it never got a chance to return again.... Hahahhahaha...

pixie: u can have a mixture of both...
rach: u do not need to know how much baby is drinking cos you are with baby 24 hours...
i am not always with baby...i need to monitor the timing and how much he is drinking so that i can pass the info to the infantcare teachers...
they are not there specially to take care of my baby only, you see...they got timing one.
and latching i find take up too much of my time...baby average takes half an hour to latch...and if i pump out, i take just 10 mins...
time is precious to me...
