[PTB7674]

Hi mummies, I'm on day 5 today since I delivered via csec. It took my bb a few days to latch properly but have starting supplementing fm using bottle (CL insisted it's fine to bottle feed :'( although I preferred spoon feed) since bb seems hungry and my milk supply hasn't come in yet. Any ideas how I can build up my milk supply? My bb only gets hungry every 4-5 hrs and she's a very sleepy baby who refused to feed until she's very hungry.

4-5hrs for 5 days old that is quite long

Build up supply thru hard work aka latch or pump regularly and drink more fluid

 

[winnielove]

Thanks! I will take note of mine..

Check their bill if you are going mount e novena. Cause they always hve errors

 

[winnielove]

Awwww i cant slp! Edd is today but sat's visit to gynae showed bb still hasnt engaged.. Sobsss

Haha. I drank raspberry leaf tea the night before I gave birth. Don't know if it really works

 

[winnielove]

Don't worry he will be alright...
Alert better than sleepy...
Mummy jiayou at home

If it's just colostrum can pump? I tried yesterday for 15 mins and colostrum too little to collect. Feel so wasted.

 

[Blumiz]

She said she can wait 2 more weeks!
Wanted to induce but i really scare of the pain..

U feeding ur bb now?

i thought induce is only popping pills?

 

[mishtiew]

Mummies who gave birth at mt e novena, does the hosp provide longan red date drink?

 

[gammahedging]

It may be hard to pump out and collect the colostrum because of its consistency and amount. If you do manage to pump a few drops of it, you can try finger-feeding baby the colostrum that is on the sides of the bottle (do remember to wash your hands before that!). Else, an option will be to feed using a syringe ...

 

[gammahedging]

Sigh, BH contractions are kinda irritating.

Was having period-like cramps every hour or so last morning , before they went away . Then kenna again this morning during breakfast. Thank god they have gone away...

[bbcripps]

Thanks dear! How's your handsome boy doing?

He's ok... m still trying to differentiate his different types of cries. My CL will arrive this afternoon, hopefully she can teach me a trick or two. Is your boy discharged yet?

 

[Blumiz]

Hi Esther, some people say once our colostrum is cleared, there comes the real milk? is that true?

[gammahedging]

[winnielove]

Nop. Hosp called and say it went down to 218 but most likely can't get discharge ):

It's BH and not the real thing because it didn't increase in intensity and become more frequent... I am also kinda scared of the water bag rupturing suddenly in the office.... It's only when I saw some mummies popping the past week that it dawned on me that I shld standby a few pads in my handbag again (!!!! have gone without them in my bag for a long time) in case the water bag ruptures when I am not at home..

 

[gammahedging]

hmm i had the cramps for one week already... now 1 day overdue..

I hope she stays inside for a while more to "brown" and "raise" a bit more. Then it will be just nice to dust the powdered sugar, add whipped cream and strawberry topping

Ok, well, at least the level is coming down, that's a good sign! He will be home soon!

U are strictly staying at home during confinement? I'm very naughty, yesterday i went out to jalan jalan at NTUC for 1hr, in order to preserve my sanity. i realised this post natal blues is a very real monster, i can shower halfway n cry for no reason. My mum almost fell off the sofa when i told her where i was going, but she relented after a while, after making me wear long sleeve n long pants. What i didn't tell her was that i wore tshirt n shorts to the NICU to visit my boy n it is freezing cold in there, cos they want to make sure any germs/bacteria cannot thrive. Think she will have a heart attack if she knew.
