False alarm. Mt A LC came by and checked my latch, milk, etc - it's colostrum! Not yet onto transitional milk and milk hasn't come in just yet. LC says the boy's latch is good though and she said it's clear he's a motivated feeder. She was upset that the nurse had suggested FM and motilium - said it's really not necessary and that I should be able to TBF as long as I take it easy.
She's a really good LC. Spent ages with me - at least 30 mins. I do love Mt A.

Glad to hear that. My last stay at the hospital, the LC was away on leave and the nurse who attended to me ask me to feed FM cuz she insisted that baby doesnt want to feed because I have no milk!! I told the reception never to send that particular nurse to me again!!
I follow Gerry's thinking. I never sub with FM. Just latch and latch for the initial days as I also believe that babies have enough to sustain them for the few days.
All the best!!
Mrs Chua
Its ok to rant, that's what forum support group is for. Don't rant to hubby or family, will only sour ties and only moms in the same boat will understand your feelings! Jia you!!

If you think your CL is not up to standard, feel free to fire her. I fire my replacement CL for my first birth after 3 days. The next CL can only come in after two days, so for that two days, everyone just chip in!! It was so good for me emotionally when I ask her to leave!!
Congratulations Evelyn!! Take care and rest well!! [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

u can also give your #1 your EBM??
Gerry
You can also try QV or Physiogel bath. The few docs I see seem to favor Physiogel. Its for my kids who have sensitive skin lah, but I think it works the same way. I did not do anything for my Pupp since I was abouot 34weeks already. I just scratch nonstop. Hahaha!!

Ya I can imagine it must be hard to pump/latch with #1 around.. Don't know how to do this man.. I guess I have to figure it out when #2 comes.. Maybe get my helper to play with my #1 while I latch #2 in the room.. Hehe!! Lucky my room got tv!! Haha!!
Yolk sac,
Thankfully LC helped you.. Sometimes I think nurses like to give fm cos it is more convenient i suppose.. No need to keep having to ask mummies how long and how much bb drink..
Gin,
You are fierce man!! But you really felt #2 supply came in faster?
Haha!! You just scratch!! My puppp only got worse in week 36 and I already cannot tahan!! Yours in 34 weeks.. I use physiogel cream and lotion.. Is their wash like cetaphil that kind.. Not the soapy sort?
Mrs CHUA,
That's good!! Keep it up.. Don't let your mom demoralize you.. Like what hippo said, god made us such that we are capable of nourishing our young ones with bm.. Cows give their young their own milk, we can too.. We are the only mammals who have fm!! Haha!!

Hi mummies,
went back to the PD for jaundice check up.. level doubled so have to rent the phototherapy machine. he looks like a piece of meat getting toasted. Nevertheless, this is better than having to be at the hospital, which i experienced with #1. likely to be breastmilk jaundice. Guess the black sugar cane did not work for me...hahaa
Tweety:saw the pictures of jerelle.. he really looks like your hubby. aiyoh when I saw his hand with the drip, i felt so heartpain. Glad that everything is ok now.
Piggy: the massage is ok except that i felt that they don't pay alot of attention to the tummy. The last one I had with my #1 focused more on the tummy and used a different binder (those cloth type). I guess i have to see after 5-7 days if my tummy does shrink or not to determine if its good or not. The only thing i don't like is that I am stuck with a lunch time session cause morning all taken up.. so difficult cause my #1 comes home after lunch time. What about you? how do you rate your experience?
sigh, i am still having sore & bleeding nipples.. so have to pump out now and will see a the lactation nurse at TMC on wed to correct his latching! he is like a baracuda.. always feeding.

missed your message. I took the 7 days package and she is real good. Nice and bubbly too.... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] but she mentioned before you need 3 weeks so it is like soon?
the first few days were terrible with the binder and the massage was a little bit ouch to me because of the veins now can see tummy flatter and she is very encouraging when i tell her no milk supply... thumbs up [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

I think my kids won't want my bm too. Cuz they are so used to their own milk taste!!
Gerry
Hahaha! I asked the nurse on duty whether it's true baby don't want to latch becuz I have no milk. They say no!! Then I told her what the nurse said! So the nurse Mia from my room then!
Yah I just scratch nonstop. Middle of the night I will wake up n turn on the shower to relieve the itch.
Mrs Chua
Pls don't let it get to you. I know it's easier said than done. But it will affect your supply and mood. Hugs.

Nevermind! Just rest more!! We prob pop about the same time!!
Gerry
Apparently those very soapy or foamy bathing gels strip our body of natural oils. Can try the qv oil too. Leaves a nice sheen on your skin n keep it moisturized!
So hot today. I just woke up from a nap. Too hot to do anything!!!

Juz an update after my chkup, done CTG but no contractions. Chk bb movement, maybe bb is sleeping so didnt move much after i tok to him, then he starts to move a little. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] Did a scan, Dr said bb's head is down and facing side as compare to previous; facing up. Bb weigh 3.2kg. And Dr did a VE, dilate 1cm only.
Congrats evelyn.
Tweety,
Since bb is fine, dun worry too much. Now is the time to rest well.
Sandy,
Don't be too upset.... Hugz! I tnk ur HB aso been sandwich in btw. Why dun ask ur HB to tell them that he needs to help u look after bb so tht u can hv a gd rest or tell them tht he wants to spend time with bb so as for bonding? Maybe it'll wks?

Mrs Chua , do u have any muscle ache in ur thighs n butt ?
Vivi,
Usually about 3 months post partum, you might experience some hair loss.. Hormonal.. If you noticed, during pregnancy, very little hair fall right.. Like now my hair is like super thick..
Gin,
Haha!! Ya scratching and scratching.. Ya I remember I used cetaphil to bathe my #1.. Not soapy and foamy..=)

I'm so happy today.. Managed to get almost 50ml in 1 pump session for my boy.. But last night and morning never pump la.. =X Love & hate the feeling of engorgement.. Hate it cos super pain, like blue black pain.. Love it cos means got milk! I didn't even have this feeling for my #1.. xD Really gotta love freestyle.. Oh, & I think using hot packs/compress to massage before & during pumping helps a lot!
Bringing my boy back home tml le.. At least got to visit my dad and my hubby got to see his mom.. At least a bit more relieved..
Surprisingly, my girl is transiting very well onto sleeping without yaolan, quit cold turkey.. She's able to sleep in her own cot liao but the problem is that she rolls all over in her sleep.. Afraid she may roll out of her bed cos it's now a toddler bed, with 1 side lowered.. So we just push the cot to the side of our bed loh.. hehe..
It's a tough time now for most of us who delivered.. But will pass de! We must all jia you k!!

Gerry; yah came recently but previously I was on pain killers so maybe that's why I didn't feel the pain
Pink,
It could be cos my anesthetist friend said that usually if caused my epidural which is possible for your case since that guy kept inserting and taking out the needle.. The aches should be felt immediately.. Cos the needle might have 'tickle' some nerves.. Better to be on the safe side and just ask the gynae.. He might asked the anaesthtist to review you..
