oh fungfung, seems like u hv a very good MIL whom supports you in b/f... that helps alot.
Now I duno wat my bb wants, haiz. Bottle feed dun want, bf also dun want. I didn't go out for 2 days, just to 'standby' for her. Yday aftrn, even I offered to bf her, she also cried very fiercely, for 1/2 hr at least... Aiyoh, headache la. Juz now also, this morning whilst expressing, my helper told me she seems to be wanting to drink alr(we now try not to wait for her to wail for milk, else she'd cry n cry and not drink, like 'sua pi qi' like that), so I stopped pumping and bf her. Thereafter, I continued with pumping.
It seems like whether I'm home to bf her or not doesn't realy make a difference anymore, so am not gg to torture myself to stay home just to standby to feed her. Only thing is gonna ask helper to watch out closely(in fact she told me so, try not to wait for her to cry else she wont' wanna drink liao) and then see how. Perhaps it's a phase some babies go through and I noticed it's ard this age 2mths+ that feeding problem starts to differ abit. Maybe it's cos their vision is getting clearer and they're starting to be more alert about surroundings...
Let's hope babies whom hv alittle trouble with feeding will overcome this issue very soon!

piggy,
i aso dun tnk that is pacifier... coz if he suck pacifier, then he will also suckle my nips.
like just now at his 11am feed, i tried to let him suckle and then he takes it.. then after a while he de-latch and i tried to burp him and change side.. then he cried and dun want the other side...
now once he cried, have to calm him down first before let him latch on, then he will take, if not, he will not suckle... dunno what's wrong.. i'll just have to keep on trial and error...

cowgal: if i work 5 working days per week?
then 5 day ML left.
if u work 5.5days ...then 5.5 days left.
Flexible use of the last eight weeks of maternity leave
The last eight weeks of maternity leave can be taken in a stretch, or if there is mutual agreement between the employer and employee, it may be taken flexibly within 12 months from the birth of the child. The employer and the employee should discuss and come to an agreement before she goes on maternity leave. Maternity leave that is taken flexibly is capped at 48 working days, and computed as follows:
8 weeks x the number of working days in the week
Example:
If the employee worked five days in a week, the number of maternity leave days that can be taken flexibly is computed as follows:
8 weeks x 5 days = 40 working days
If the employee agreed to work three days out of five days per week and take the remaining two days in the week as flexible maternity leave, the 40 days of flexible maternity leave will be consumed in 20 weeks.
if u work 5.5days ...then 5.5 days left.

Hi April Mummies
Not sure if you guys still remember me.
I have a brand new unopen can of Dumex Mamex Gold (1.6kg) willing to let go at $60. Its normal price at NTUC is $72+.
Reason is I'm changing formula for my baby boy. Do note that the expiry date for this tin is 10 Nov 2012
Pls PM me if interested & we can arrange the pick-up details then. Preferable along NEL MRT stations.

Hi,
Do anyone know which other types of bottles can fit Medela Freestyle pump? I find Medela bottles expensive and I only use to pump cos I feed baby with glass bottles.

Cowgirl: thanks. guess the only thing is that if we take the flexible option, we can avoid the PH to lugi a day. Thanks.
hey, mommies! for those whom are considering to buy a baby carrier, check this out! I was wandering ard and remembering a shop(http://www.babyslingsandcarriers.com/) that sells mainly baby carriers, I went there for a look. Saw quite a number of slings and carriers and found the Baby Wrap very very comfortable, best of all, anyone in the family can use it and it really really distribute the weight away from the wearer!(I've tried it on with a 7kg weighing dummy baby) - http://www.sleepywrap.com/
The other one I find good is the Manduca Baby Carrier though I didn't try this out myself. But my personal view is that this would be good if one wants to use it from birth to older kids...

I noe there are supplements or food to increase supply of bm, is there anything to increase the flow of bm? :-l
Sometime i'm so tired coz flow of bm so slow thus take mi quite a while to express out. Previously took 45mins-1hr to exPress, i didnt tnk much abt it bt nw find tht it's a waste of time. So stress abt it thus believe tht it cause an impact on my supply too

mrs chua,
i don't think G don't know how to latch.. Z is also like that for the past few days...dunno is it the phase whereby bb of this age has to go through during this period...
what i notice from Z is that if he is hungry and cried, i can't latch him, he will don't want to suckle and will keep on crying.. once i calm him down, he didn't cry already, try to put my nip in and then he suckle. And sometime, once he de-latch from one side, he will cry and cry and don't want the other side.. thus must calm him down first before try latching again...
so you have to keep on trial and error and keep on trying and find out the reason for your son as i believe every bb is different why they don't want to suckle.
organic,
friday we will have lunch together with those mummies and then chit chat lor
as for the tea, u mentioned that it will increase the flow? are you referring to the speed of the bm that flows out when expressed or the supply?
