Hi pooh,
i never feed more, just same amt as daytime, but somehow, think they start to differentiate day & night, so night time they just sleep longer..sometimes they got disturbed and moved abit, we either give pacifier or pat them, then they go back to zzz again...we only feed them when their eyes open big big and pacifier and patting dont work!
there were few times we actu tried feed more and see if it lasted them to wake up later, but no...they just woke up ard e same time, but friends said feed fm at night can last longer than feeding bm..no harm trying
as for why they wake up ard 7-8 am even though we feed them ard 5-6 am, i think my boys are just like light censor and alarm clock..even we tried to draw curtain, they will just auto wake up when its time..but wake up not crying but mumbling beside =P

May I ask mummies here. I have hard time sleeping at night. My pelvic bond area hurt badly, so lying on side made it worse and on top of that, not sure if due to heavy weight, eg if I lie on left side, my left thigh gets very "Suan" and sometimes my whole left leg will go slightly numb. Turning to right side will end up same. While night I will turn left n right countlesss times as each position doesn't last long, any way I can relieve that?
Also, my uterus hurts each time I turn left n right or when my movement is more. Do u experience the same?
Am quite used to painful uterus throughout this pregnancy as gynae it's due to fast expansion. I expect more pain after delivery due to contracting of the very enlarge uterus to normal size

Hi mummies, just to share the good news. Delivered my twin boys on 10 sept @ 36wks2days. Had regular contractions. And mucus plug dislodged. Boys are 2.8kg n 2.4 kg both in normal nursery now. Mine still unsure leh...gynae says cannot confirm unless dna. They might be identical but they look pretty different to me. But they share the same blood type n one placenta.
Today is day 3 at hospital. Wounds starting to hurt. Ouch. And i am feeling the baby blues now...emo

Joanne,
the brown rice cereal is the instant type. can just add warm water directly. u may also add breast milk or formula powder to it.
i read that our body obtain nutrients from our blood to make breastmilk. i dun think u would want to obtain breastmilk frm.another mumy whom u do not know she has some infection or on any medication.

Hi all , I have got a set of twins recently and I received a gift (MOTHERCARE duo aqua pod) you can google n search in UTUBE n u will c it's a mat tat allows you to bath your twins at the same time.. But I have already bought one myself... Thus Whoever that is interested please email me at [email protected] and you can just buy me a big pack of pampers as a token .. Cheers
Hi Joanne,
i didnt cook e rice powder, i bought it from cold storage =P
u can make ur own blended porridge also, soak e rice b4 cooking, then cook into plain porridge, then blended into sticky sticky form...
e porridge can freeze into porridge cubes, i just heat up whenever i wanna feed babies and add other puree together =)

Lena u can try looking on amazon. Last I saw it was going q cheap n the delivery charge to Singapore was only usd20 or something. See if it's still on
Joanne and grace, thanks. The pushing is really tiring as both bb refuse to come out even am fully dilated. Anyway, glad it's finally over. We r discharging Thursday 20 sep morning.
Joanne, I used to use avert manual single pump and did wash n sterilize each time. Still hard to cope ESP night time, so I bought extra pumps. Later my friend suggest me to keep pump in ziplock bag n store in fridge together with milk, n use directly for next pump time.

Congrats winky!
Joanne, i stop sterilizing the bottles n pump parts when my gals hit 6mths.. this is abt time the bbs hav built their immunity. i didnt try the method of putting the pump parts in fridge. cos i think that once its out frm the fridge, bacteria will multiply. so I'll still prefer to wash after every use.

Thanks all for the wishes.
Joanne, yes, no wash n direct put to fridge. I dono about the bacterial thingy but I thought it's quite a good idea.
Having problem with Bf, one bb refuse to latch so no choice to bottlefeed and one bb can latch but cannot be discharged yet so may end up not latching later.

winky,
you can try taking green papaya soup. take lots of soup andthe red date water. u need to hav lots of water to produce milk. r u expressing using hand or pump? i find that first few days hand express more effective. dun stress urself too much.. if u really need, can ask gynae or gp prescribe domperidone for u. you can also buy fenegreek supplements from.pharmacy to take together at same time for better effect..

Winky, is there a lactation consultation who can help u get e colostrum going? My biggest gain fm stayin at MAH was e LC who visits every new mum fm D2 to help squeeze out colostrum n teach u how to hand express. I totally agree wif beautifulseeds, hand express most effective first few days. I was also prescribed motilium fm D2 onwards, not sure if tat helped.
Hi gals
I asks my bro to help me buy motilium fr pharmacy since one pax can only buy one box and he study biotec fr ntu last time.. He straight away reject me n say is no gd for infant n mummy.. This makes me hv 2nd thot whether shd i still buy n eat? I told him tt is prescribe by my gynea last time n he says tt wht they prescribe is safe for tt dosage, if we continue eat after finish n self purchase then is no gd..
Heres wht he sends to me..:"In June 2004, the FDA issued a letter warning women not to take domperidone, citing unknown risks to parents and infants, and warned pharmacies that domestic sale was illegal, and that import shipments from other countries would be searched and seized. Domperidone is excreted in breast milk, and no studies on its effects on breastfeeding infants have been reported in the literature"
Wht u gals think? Safe to eat?? Sigh..

Joanne,
If any drug is not safe for consumption, it wld probably hv been recalled by the FDA n our HSA wld hv followed suit. But like all prescription drugs, it shd be taken under e supervision of a doctor who can advise u on the correct dosage, side effects, contra indications etc.
So u shd go back to yr gynae if u wish to take more of e drug, instead of askin yr bro to buy. In any case he shd not b able to get without a doctor's prescription. If u r concerned abt this FDA warning, u shd prob discuss it wif yr gynae.

Joanne,
I've previously checked with my gynae & 2 GPs to cfm that it had no side effects b4 i continue taking it. Domperidone is also used to ease bloatedness n can be used for preg women too. if u want drug free option, can take only fenegreek supplement. its natural since its a herb that is found in curry too.
