Sudly woke up n faster get out of bed to c baby.scare me sia.Dunno i too tired or wat...lik nvr hear my baby cry for milk leh.hope cl did woke him to feed him
 
Hi mummies, finally managed to catch up with the past few days posting. Currently sitting in the ward, waiting for family and baby next feed.

As expected, 3rd day baby showing signs of jaundice. Fingers crossed he will be like his cheh cheh, mild then we can do the sun tanning ourselves.

Almost wanna cry cos so emo to see #2 be able to latch and drink milk. Hopefully this continues well when we go home tmrw. But no matter how, at least he's gotten the colostrum. Whatever happens thereafter I wun kick myself over it. The poor big sister need kena Suan by everyone for not latching properly. She just smiles shyly, but Mummy comforts, But hey, you grew up just as well with pumping didn't you? Then the big smile comes back.

Read couple of posts abt sarong. I grew up with it. #1 used it in the day till around 1 yr+. Personally I've not had any issues. For me, the only side effect is the jerking motion makes me doze off easily in public transport? Not sure if that's qualified as a side effect.

We still have it on standby. If my mum thinks need again, then we will use it lor.

Happy Mother's Day everyone!

P/s: tonight MAH got special mum day dinner... Black chicken soup.

apart from caffeine issue for breastfeeding.
tea is always known to be cooling and after birth, our body is still very "cold" hence need to take warming food. tea will introduce coldness into our body which is bad for our recovery.

Hi mummies who will be breastfeeding...

If by 23 August, you will still be latching on or at least intending to.. consider joining the SuperMom latch on at ***************! Pretty cool as they are trying to make it the biggest bf event!
But of course you need be unshy about doing this in public at Suntec convention hall.

Your Gynae not this one I hope!! http://www.channelnewsasia.com/mobile/singapore/gynae-suspended-fined-for/1100700.html

Yeah think he more ang mor. I only believe some of the rules as well. Don't follow through everything. I still shower everyday without herbs. Find the herbs too smelly.

Sorry! Forgot to congratulate you as well!!!

No not that gynae. Hahaha. But that case was way back in 2010. Now then reach verdict.

Bleh, I already bought the herbs. I bot so much till I think I can drown myself in them. I think like the article one of the mummies posted on fb (sorry, am bad associating names with nicks), we need to be realistic what can really be done. If we had kids in the middle of winter, then I reckon strict confinement rules would be a breeze.

are you having what they call carpel tunnel syndrome? Happens to a lot of women during pregnancy and post pregnancy. Have you seen a doctor for the pain? Think it's also our hormones that causes us to be emo. I tend to feel very emo when I don't get enough sleep.

Btw I still dunno who is who on FB... I know everyone by forum nick only...:p
 
R u all going to look aft bb urself aft CL leaves? I feel v guilty n feels bad as hubby will b awake each time bb cries so he hardly z n has to go wrk the next morning... Yet all my rooms were occupied by in law n helper... Dunno how to resolve this long term prob. When will bb starts sleeping thru the night?

Is he difficult to book? He does tie da or acupuncture?
 
I also went out today... accompany my hubby and #1 to nearby coffee shop for prata breakfast. But I did not have any... I think it's these little things that makes me feel better. Cos for #1, I had bad postnatal blues and had to see psychiatrist... so this time I am very cautious and make sure that whatever I do, I make sure it does not make me feel obliged in any way...

Lilacz, today my mom also commented how come never wear bedroom slippers. I tell her weather so hot and my floor not marble. No need to wear. Hahaha.

I am showering with hot water everyday and almost washing hair everyday too. My backache is gone, so I think it was just after effects from epidural... I think the only confinement thing I am following now is the food. Hahaha... mummies, I would advise for the sake of not getting post natal blues, do what u feel is right and don't be pressured into doing what others want u to do if you don't want!

Wow quite a few mummies gave up on bfing already hor? My baby refuse to latch and now I am fully pumping. Wondering if anyone has any experience or know anyone who has experience in retraining baby to latch on after 1 - 2mths? ??

wah seems like a lot of you all head out and quite a few have given up on bf-ing. i agree bf-ing is hard to perservere especially if you don't have good support.so far, other than trips to clinic and supermarket and my #1 school event, i hardly went out. baby stayed at home other than to doctor coz scared to expose him to virus also. especially with hfmd and chickenpox around.
 


Hw cm u all can go out de?


Hmm..i suspect i wil hav bad headach aft confinemt.if i hav aircon or fan top of my head will feel cold!!!
