@rainbowzstarz

I saw your post regarding about poo colour for fm baby. I read it from babycenter, bowel movements of a formula-fed baby are typically yellow, tan, brown, or green. As long as there isn't blood in the stool, any color is normal. A formula-fed baby's stool is a little bit firmer than a breastfed baby's, about the consistency of peanut butter. If it's much harder than that, it may be a sign of constipation. (I have been a silent reader for months but never post anything because of complication during pregnancy, thought might lost baby anytime and also I delivered very early so didn't feel right to post in my supposed EDD month, May or the actual delivery month, March since I have never follow that thread.)

Somehow I think our babies become lazy cos they are partly bottle fed. Lazy to put in the effort to suck. Mine latch and keeps falling asleep. Super irritated cos hv to keep waking him up. Then suck a bit, back to square one.

Is his tummy v bloated? My boy was like this and his appetite started to drop. So now i make it a point to burp him when he comes off the breast in the middle of a feed. Then aft that latch him back.

If he is gassy, patting may cause "heartburn" which is an unpleasant feeling. Instead try rubbing in circular motion the area below the left shoulder blade.

If you like to latch, mayb can consider not introducing bottle at this ooint in time. Use syringe, cup or. Spoon to feed... Then intro bottle fr 6-8wks onwards. The reason being the way to suckling the breast n bottle is different and certain bottles actually "drip" or have milk flow even if the baby doesnt suck...
 
Decided tmr evening brg baby to pd..is it bcos wind only...or is hungry?
So tired of him crying stil at 2hrs mark aft feeding.alrdy increas to 100 then 110ml!

I've tried burping him in the middle of a feed but he cries big time after that. So I let him decide when he wants to be burped. Basically he's been very unhappy drinking lately and we don't know why. Sigh.
 
Been 1 mth plus 3 days liao,blood rtn!! My bleeding stop on fri nite ,bt sudly ystd aftnn rtn so so sad.

Nwadys ntg can stop my boys cryg.only milk n water can stop him.

Haha mine also the same. So now I just stick to bottle feeding cos too frustrating already.
 
Hi hi, I had just given birth on 30th May via c section.... Can any mummies advise your recovery journey? Mine is more on the pain in the wound area where affects my pumping and latch.

I don't remember having any pain while I pump, I only start pumping on day 4 and no latching yet. I only have difficulty on getting up from the bed and walking was a nightmare for the first 3 days and after that is more manageable. I get occasionally pain when I lie on my sides so I used many pillows. I rest on bed most of the time either sit or sleep and the furthest I walk to is to the washroom, even bathing I sat on a chair to bath (yes, I bath daily with warm water because I can't stand the heat). The only difference is I do not have a newborn to take care of when I went home, baby stay in hospital.

Please join us in the chat here. My LO was also born early. He was born at 36 weeks which was a month early but I still chat in here. It's ok lah. Happy to hear that your baby is safe and sound.

Click to expand...

No lah don't think so. Your gastric pain probably related to your IBS. Or have you been skipping meals or eating spicy food that triggered? Back pain I suspect is after effects of epidural or maybe from carrying your LO?

I will. :) Mine born at 30 weeks, 10 weeks early and been in hospital for more than 2 months already. Really looking forward to hold him in my arms, never did that since birth because he's in incubator with drips.
I hope no more new problems popping up, now we are waiting for his weight to get to 3kg then do a few operations at one go. After that will be monitoring for his intestines to function properly before discharge. He should be going for op in 2-3 weeks' time, now 2.3kg.

I bleed for 6 weeks and menses return a few days after it stopped. Some more I have been pumping 3 hourly daily, so sad it return so fast but it's light and lasted 4 days only.

*big hugs to you* things we take for granted like we can bring our babies home to discharge with us, and you had to go through so much. When my LO could only go home a day after me because he needed phototherapy for his jaundice, I was already feeling sad. I cannot imagine your anguish and pain.

You're a very very brave and strong mommy. The day will come when you can hold him again and it'll come sooner than you expect. Read that you're expressing milk for LO.

Keep it going to give him the immunity he needs. Jia you!!!

I also take for granted previously until this pregnancy. Yup, expressing milk for him because I read online that bm will be better for his intestine. He suffered 2 episodes of NEC (to put it in simple terms, bacteria normally found in the intestine turn bad bacteria and damage the wall of the intestinal tissues). He has a severe case of NEC where perforation (hole) in intestine. He did an emergency op when he's 6 day old and second op will be to seal up the first hole, check condition of second hole whether heal itself/need mending/need removal of a segment of intestine.

You know what they always say, when they have it this tough so young, life will get better as they grow older so take heart in that k? He will emerge a fighter because he is fighting really hard now to keep going despite all the odds.

Starting will be more difficult, it will be better when baby is older. When my baby comes home, I will have 3 to take care of (the older kids are 2 and 5). I cut vegetables the previous night so preparations for lunch will be faster, usually less than 30 mins done. I cook easy dishes like steam fish/meat, boil soup and fry vegetables. My 2 years old used to cry a lot when he's a baby, I used carrier (I'm hopeless when comes to sling) whenever I go (at home!) so I have free hands to do other stuffs. I still don't have a easy life now though he's 2 but we got used in doing house chores together. Don't have a choice because he wakes up really early, latest by 7.30am and he only naps an hr once a day. When I am in the kitchen he will pull a chair and stand nearby to look what I'm doing, when I sweep/mop he will sit on the sofa and wait for the floor to be dry, when I bath he will be in the room playing with the drawers or some other things that catch his attention, when I want to hang clothes he will take the clothes out from the washer (mine is front load). My 5 years old only go half day school so by afternoon the house will be filled with quarrelling, shouting and crying. Maybe I'm numb already so most of the time those sounds are white noise to me, haha!

Edit: I forgot about breakfast, haha! I eat easy to prepare breakfast too like bread/bao with a drink or cereal with milk.

Yes, think my back side, tummy and legs all still haven't shrink back. I still have 6kg-7kg to loose till my pre-preg size. Am still wearing my maternity soft gutter pants. Lower tummy still feeling bruised on the inside.

I'm oso feeling bruised and I feel lower part of my tummy abit swollen. Damn pain during post natal massage.. Suffering now..
 
Btw I need advise from mummies who r bf-ing, after I pump my breast still feels heavy and warm. I can't seem to empty my breast! So far the most I got was dis morning. 90ml from each sides.

And those who already held their full month can u share which caterer u took?

As for cakes, do we need to give out the cakes exactly on the day we celebrating full mth? How about giving to our office ?

Sounds like you need to spend some time to massage you breasts and nipples to clear any blockages...
 
Any mummies using NUK teats and bottles?? I need to change my feeding bottles to tommy tippee... Wasted to throw everything away?

I can't seem to clear blockage on my nipples, or isit I didn't pump long enough? I'm using freestyle and 15mins each pumping session. My nipples got so sensitive n painful that I had to use level 2 now instead of previous level 4.

Every person pump duration is different, I need to pump about 20-25 mins on dual pump. I only use on the lowest setting because I feel pain on higher setting but mine is avent, my nipples took a month to get used to pumping before that same like you, sensitive and pain to press.

During confinement? Actually I never eat breakfast, only a cup of milo every morning because the CL cook very big portion. Told her to cook lesser but end up still cooking as if it's for 2. Anyway I start eating cake on my 3rd week because it was my birthday month, hehe..
