Go see a doc first. U need antibiotic asap to prevent the infection develop to pus. I went to TMC 24hr clinic, was given antibiotic, anti inflammation/swollen, and pain killer. Faster go see, dun wait le!
LC told me dun use hot compress as bacteria grow in warm place. Use cold compress to relieve the pain. The lump is due to the infection, not engorge, so it won't clear so fast untill finish the course of antibiotic. Is the breast warm n red n swollen?
hello @momocrv , i engaged a confinement lady from PEM too and she did share with me about the co points system. maybe you can observe your CL for a week at least since she only came yesterday? the points system is that they need to accumulate a certain amt of points and also facebook feedback and then the top earners will get some monetary incentives from the company. most CL try to do about 7 confinements a year so maybe thats why shes packing them back to back? if after a week you observed that shes not up to your expectations u can change to another CL. just inform PEM i think..dont get too stressed on this and try to understand more frm the CL how long she has been working, her past experiences etc.
If it's block ducts, yes, use warm compression. If it's infection, use cold compression to relieve. U wouldn't want the bacteria having a cosy area to breed. Mastitis won't cause itchiness bah. It will be swollen, redness on the skin, and breast is warm.
I also pump and keep in medela bottle, after that transfer to avent for feeding. Usually got lost at most 5ml but not 15ml bah.. another possibility the marking is slightly different, but again at most 5ml. Alternatively, u could ask CL to warm up using the bottle from fridge before pour to the feeding bottle.. provided to use all milk at one feed.
Wah thats quite costly.. what about doing it at PD? I dun need earings though.. just to poke.
Gd to know that he is not major brain virus/ infection. Anything 37.5 & above is consider fever. It really depends on ur comfort level that Shd u find out the root cause or let him recover naturally. Dat time when I preg, having severe pain @ previous old c-sec scar. Doc wanted me to admit and run test to find out the root cause. He said unless I wanted to be brave mum if not better admit. In the end, I decided to be gung-ho and Nvr admit, juz bed rest for a week at home and I'm fine le.
@cynn04 , how many guests u inviting? I juz did mine on Sat for @ 100 guests. With kids, maybe 120guests. But it was a great party. Food was praised and kids were well-entertained.

Ya.. Dats y we did it outside my humble hdb flat. Wanted to get frd's condo function rm but was small too. So we end up with Hotel function room. Reasonable price consider is a 4 star hotel, with 28 course buffet menu. Whole stretch of function rooms (rm 1-3) and the reception area with lots of sofa. Guests were so comfy dat most sit from 12-3pm then left. I ordered balloons and did some DIY for decoration. I oso did up a candy buffet table and prepared 100pcs of gift favours for guests. Hb ordered a live popcorn n candy floss stations for the kids. All went well, guests feedback the food very nice, and AP r able to cover costs. But me n hb Nvr get the chance to eat the buffet.
I did ask nurse about bb body temp. She said average 36.5deg. 36deg is too cold. I nv asked how high is the temp considered as fever. I guess thats answered earlier ard 38deg then. Hope ur bb is fine! Stay strong and have confident in ur bb! ☺
Yes, me too. Did my bb shower on sat. First pump @ 7am till 3+pm. Oni 4 pumps on Sat. Then since ytd, breasts has been soft, like nothing to pump. Have to squeeze like orange juice every pump session. My breasts size has become smaller than pre preg size.
Hey dear, my bb is at high dependency ward because she is so young... Anyway have explained to the nurses and MOs that the meds i'm taking are safe for breastfeeding. Gave them the names of the meds and they have verified too. Now just hope i will feel much better tmr and can go pei baby whole day since hubby contracted my stomach flu and cant be with her tonight...
Yes I send fresh ebm daily. My bb doesn't latch well as he has tight jaw so I have been pumping for him. Dont worry too much, your bb is in best care and will recover soon. Take care!
