My full mth party over! So tired but enjoyed it cuz this time i only invited close families n friends... I recommend select catering if u guys are looking for caterer. The guests are complimenting the food is nice, only thing is the drinks are not enough, food wise a lot of leftovers.

Check the asshole area if there's any tear. Could be due to that. That's what happened when I discovered blood in my #1 poo when she diarrhea for 3 weeks when she was 7 mths old.
 
Mummies can I ask if I can mix my express3d breast milk in formula milk powder to make up 60ml feed?

Not enough breast milk n my son keeps crying

Agree with little lamb to separate the feeds. But if u want to combine ebm with fm, make sure that u use water to make your fm first before combining your ebm. U cannot use ebm to add to fm powder.

I think better ask PD... just in case and also to have peace of mind.

Does anyone know if i dont get appointment and just go and queue at polyclinic for the one month jab and Jaundice check, can?
The appointment date is too long...

Mummies, do u experience menses like cramps during ur 36th week? Im feeling it today...
Click to expand...

Yes I felt it and then next thing I knew, I was in labour already. Not to scare you but please monitor the crampy feeling. If it's regular, it should be contractions. My baby came at 36 weeks.
 
Thanks mummies for the advice. Thank god the confinement lady comes in today.

I have problem bf. Engorgement startijg to come in despite me pumping every 3 hrs. I fannot latch cos my bb refuses to. The cl says she will try wity me again. Getting stressed n emo.

Hang in there. Not easy and we tend to be emo. Any idea why baby cannot latch? Which hospital did you deliver at? You can check with the lactation consultant on guiding you as well.
 
Hi ladies,

Has everyone delivered? I delivered Baby Sam on 27th Apr. latching was a challenge from day 1 cos I had short nipples and baby had trouble opening his mouth. The LCs at Mt A suggested i start with nipple shield, and I kept trying at home after discharge, with little success. Thankfully milk ss was ok so I expressed and fed by bottle as suggested by CL. Later on Day 10, we went back to see Sister Kang and she encouraged me to try latching without nipple shield as my supply was ample and nipple had taken better shape with the constant pumping and use of nipple shield. I also did much research online, and learnt how to hold my breast as a sandwich, where to position my hand to make baby open wider for a deeper latch.

Not an easy journey I must say, had fever twice due to engorgement and dehydration, all this even when I have a CL...

FFT, read that u're stressed about latching, you must hv heard this many times but rest and fluid intake is important for us. If you still want to work on the latch, my best advice is get in touch with a good lactation consultant, video yr session with her and keep practising at home, but don't do it while you are stressed or while baby is crying badly... There's a list of massage ladies who specialise in massage to relieve engorgement but it will be painful and it's also good you learn to massage on yr own. If you want the list, you can drop me an email at joellehuijun(at)gmail(dot)com.

Meantime, make full use of yr CL and take as much rest as u can, even if cannot sleep, just lie in bed and rest yr body... And drink lotsa fluids. Take care!

Good that you can rest now and your CL can help u with bf. Don't be too stressed by it, my baby also refuse to latch so I am on fully pumping program. For your engorgement, you can try cabbage leaves but not for too long if not supply may drop especially if your baby already drinking 60ml on day 3. Most impt is to have a good rest now. Take care.

Good to see you coping well and it's almost a month already! Kia you! Come in and chat with us here more often k?
 


Dear mummies!
Been reading and following ur birth, bf and childcare stories and today is my turn finally!!
Now in TMC ward for my planned c sec ard 9am! Been here since 6am for admissions, be shaved and clear bowels.
Now just waiting and watching tv. So different from my first delivery when my water bag burst, rushed to hospital, put on inducing drip, then epidural and finally emergency c sec after 10hrs! This time ample time for everything. Haha.
Update again after delivery!
Heaven bless all mummies and newborns!
