bubblepearl, thanks... I have PM her. Btw, some of the sellers selling the receipt between $50 to $65. Do u think it's worth it?
yaer: I also only called up last week, they said will call when stock arrive but never said when...sian lah!
I normally will use up all ebm in fridge within 48hrs. If I know I am not able to use it by then will put in freezer, can store for 3mths. But once thawed must used within 24 hrs.
bunnymum: yes, u can consolidate the milk and then once reach 80ml then feed but remember the 1st batch of 20ml must be used up within 48hrs. Alt can mix 60ml fm then add in the 20ml and feed. I used to do either one for my #1 last time when my ss is low and can't meet his demand.

@V: yes, got few lumps at de side.. but the hard like stone feeling is in front, above areola. how much does tmc charge for the massage?
Ash press real hard around ur breast circular motion clockwise or anti around ur whole breast. If certain area pain press deeper n see if u can feel any lump some lumps are real tiny like size of peas n u need to press down hard to check n make sure no lumps. If lumps either latch bb or during pump massage the block area real hard. Sometime i use my thumb to press down its damn painful but when unblock totally no pain at all. Actually if lump is near aeroela area diff for u to clear if u pump cos the funnel will be blocking. Do u wanna latch A n get him to clear for u? Its faster n easier.
Mummies i seriously dun think i can adhere to the no bathing rule. Its a week nOw n i am starting to break out in rash! I think i wanna bath regularly leh! Gonna wash my hair again tomorrow before bringing bb to do blood test at mt A! Can i check how many of u cont to bath during cOnfinement?
I will be bringing bb to polyclinic for jabs n assessment. This was wat i did for #1.

Ash: my mastitis was similar to yours but within 5-10min after pumping the stone feeling came back and it has a stinging feeling to it...
baobaolin: must consistently massage..read below..
sunflower: it was S$80..bring your own sterilised glass bottle if you want to bring back your ebm..bring at least 2 k? do call and make an appt..they open at 930am..my session yielded 200ml of milk..
Ok. I will attempt to share what i learnt from aunty lilian (she's really a nice lady)..
1. engorgement: if it's really hard and you are scared of pain, use cabbage leafs to place only on the rock hard areas (side, top etc) before massaging. if it's really rock hard, place for 45min to an hour. mine took 1 hr. DO NOT use hot towel as that will increase milk and worsen pain.
steps to massage:
1. use ur 2nd to 4th finger, place it above your nipple.the area above that is your milk well ( ducts)use the same 3 fingers place above the area and massage in circular motions at the breasts 12o'clock, 3, 6 and 9. your thumb cupping the breasts..press hard with fingers flat and massage 10 times clockwise and 10 times anti clockwise at the 4 points.
2. cup your 5 fingers over the line of the aerola and rotate your breasts clockwise and anti clockwise 10 times.
3. 2nd finger and 3rd finger in a scissors motion, scissor on your nipple and massage.
4. pump for 5 min
5. repeat massage
6. pump for 5 min
7. repeat massage
8. pump for 5 min
Maximum pumping on each boobs shd be only 15 mins as advised to protect the nipple.
My ss did not drop in any way.
KK did it starting from the nipple.
Lilian explained to me why not to start from the nipple..because it will drip and will be very messy which was true..massage inside out towards the nipple to reduce the messiness and to get the milk flowing once the suction is on =)
hardness, lumps at the side or top - pls wear proper support nursing bra (those with hooks and adjustable straps).
reason: when the bra is not supporting, the boobs tend to be like a downhill road..milk will keep flowing to the nipple and get stuck on the top or sides as a result. so a support bra will be able to hold the boobs in horizontal/ straight road which will reduce the traffic jam on the top =) i'm wearing bras with hooks during the day and those sports bra at night to sleep..really eased the lump on the sides other than when they are full and needs to be expressed.. FYI this doesn't reduce ss either...
HTHs..FYI Aunty Lilian Pong was really a lifesaver..i cried at KKH 24hr clinic and the whole night due to the pain and frustration..I really hope this helps..anyone need clarification feel free to ask me~

@v: heard bout putting de cabbage to ease de pain.. but erh after tat hard to inc supply?
starfruit:my CL prepared ginger water for me..but due to my c-sect wound..for 1.5 weeks i only wipe myself with the water..never bath/shower..i did shower on the 11th day and washed my hair on the 13th day. yest was 17th day and i washed my hair again coz i perspired alot when fever..next friday i'm heading to the salon~ hehe...=) i shower in the pm maybe every other day with soap and warm water after splashing the herbal water on myself..most of the time i'm in aircon though...haven't touch cold drinks as of today..
sunflower: not for me..my ss never decrease drastically...it went up after i unblock my ducts..now i avg abt 180ml each pump session..previously was abt 140-160ml from both boobs...sometimes i latch my girl on if she's not frustrated..haha..i had engorgement on my top portion too..no way to latch bb upside down was what i told lilian..she laughed too..so bra is a pointer and massage too..since it's on top of the aerola..
V today is exactly 1 week. I already washed my hair on thurs cos brought bb to PD n i stank! Tomorrow bringing bb to do blood test again so will bath (with herbal water) n wash my hair too. I cant tahan till 2 weeks already. This weather is really terrible . My last confinement was done in early march so not so bad. I never sleep in aircon room as my ger dun like it n cant breath well in cold room. So i have been sleeping with fan on!! So hot i also dun care already n keep blowing fan n in shorts! Was thinking tat since already broken so many rules i might as well just bath! Hb ask me go bath cos he thinks it crazy not to bath in this weather.
Cuppie i also bathed for the 1st time on day 4 with herbal water. Now i am also trying the out washing hair on alternate days! Really buey tahan!

Bath: wah serious ah... U all really can dun bath ah... I been bathing like every day yet still complain abt the weather... Peifu peifu
bunnymum: Me and u same situation. Per pump is only about 20ml only. Therefore, i will pump it out and leave it in the fridge to consolidate. But i will bf my bb ger 1st and ebm the remaining.
V: I have been showering since the day i am back from hospital with the herbal and lemongrass. Somemore 1 day 2 times but i still feel sticky and sweaty.I c-sect too, doc say i can shower after removing the stitches. Have washed my hair every 4 days as really bue tahan the oilness as i sweat quite alot and try not to on fan during the day.
Have just placed a order for nepia diapers, find it clueless when it comes to my bb ger urine amount. Got a few times that her diaper overflow then i realise that diaper is full.. haha...
Not sure if i should buy some of the huggies diaper since the price is so attrative. But my bb ger is only 13 days old only. Dunno by when she will be in need of M size diaper.

I'm looking forward to end confinement but not looking forWard to my CL leaving. This time round I'm very hands off w bb even at nite. CL has been updating me abt bb's habit. Seems like he is unable to sleep well at nite unless being carried! Oh no! W regular pumping, ss not increasing n uncomfortable b, feels like giving up bf. Think if I've not bot the b pump, I wld hv given up liao! Keke!!
Now I feel like going to hv fever again *sigh* After pump my b feels soft leh. Cld it b some blocked ducts tt I cldnt locate?

bubblepearl: Huh...the staff din give me any reservation number leh. Should have huh? Maybe I give them a call again tmr. They just told me they will call me when the stocks arrive...aiyo!
Ash: Dun give up...jia you! Sometimes after pumping although the b is soft, when I run my fingers around it...there are still some small hard area...especially near the side so maybe you can run your fingers around the b to find it and massage them away.
