3.5hrs is very good. My boy barely last 3hrs. Sometimes he screams b4 3hrs is up...
Yea my bb can latch well now. Today my nipple finally recover and I latch him, not hurting at all. Thanks for the tips, will try it later.Is your bb latching well? If not, regular pumping to send signal to brain can help bring in the milk. I pump 3hrly with my no1... Milk come in ard day 5...
Some tips: massage ur breasts between ur palms. Up down rub, and left right rub... Then press from base of breast toward nipple. U should see milk droplets? Then pinch/hand express a few times to clear the ducts... Pump for 15mins, rest and massage for a while, pump another 5mins to make one session... Jiayou Jiayou!!!!!!!
I just jinx it. She drank 90ml ebm, poop a lot, don't wanna sleep. Then let her latch half hour. Poop again. Eyes opened big big still. Then have to break my pump routine to give her 40ml ebm. Don't know how many diapers being changed in the last 2hrs. I can see I may pull my hair when CL leaves.3.5hrs is very good. My boy barely last 3hrs. Sometimes he screams b4 3hrs is up...

That's a long stay and glad bb is back home.Dear Mummies,
I just gave birth about a week ago, and baby has G6PD deficiency which causes his jaundice level to be high. He had to stay back in hospital to do phototherapy. Finally after 7 days, he was discharged and home sweet home.
But I'm still worried about his jaundice level any recommendations on how to keep his jaundice level low and stable? TIA!

My nanny suntan mine daily after discharge. 8-10am sun only. About 10mins. Make sure her eyes are covered if theres direct sun on her face. After the tan, give her milk as she may be a bit dehydrated.
For your food intake, cut down on ginger. Maybe some more food needs to cut down, but that's all I know for now.

Candymoshi, I tried out your massage method and manage to pump slightly more, will keep doing it. Btw how long it take for u all to pump out 50ml?
My bb 12days old. I having a hard time to burp after feeding. At hospital is so easy. At home is different story. What brand of FM are u giving to ur Lo? I give similac since like my Lo unable to digest. Wee a lot. Poo little. Jaundice still quite high. Done sun tan too.
You champion . Half hour I only got 90ml plus minus. Maybe my pump is weak?? Using medela freestyle.What do u mean by how long?
At day 4, I have Abt 60ml per pump...
Now I have 140-160ml per pump (10mins), so maybe 4mins to get 50ml?
Is that what u are asking?
Hi mine also on similac but now mostly on ebm. She also wee more than she poo... Need to bring her back for review again this Thursday.My bb 12days old. I having a hard time to burp after feeding.

I have a problem,..mine seems like only left side has milk, right side...no matter how I pump only 20ml.....and now my left boob is bigger than my right.....
Mine still watery poo...this uneven size is permanent?? Mine is like 2 cup diff...damn uglyI also have uneven breast size after my 2nd one.. Now I try to pump more on the smaller breast and it is still producing lesser milk.. No choice can't rectify it..
Candymoshi: wow I really think you have great milk supply. Even though this is my third and supposedly yielding me more supply, but I think it's gene..
Now that my 2nd one is down with flu and cough, I am very worried that it will spread to my nb.. It's very difficult to separate them n hopefully my girl recovers soon.
Last night my BB wakes up more punctually for milk.. Every 3 hrs she will cry for milk.. At least for the past few nights, sometimes she can tong for 4 hrs before crying for milk.
She is still having jaundice but I dunno her level since I Nvr bring her to any pd or polyclinic.
By the way are your bb poo more solidified now? It's seems like my bb does not poo watery poo now.. Is that normal?
I have lumps on my right side....even before delivery, during my late stage of pregnancy. Did ultrasound, it is breast tissue....how do you massage to unblock? Need to engage someone to do the massage?Do u have block ducts/lumps in the right breast?
Might need massage to help clear the blockage.
If notblockage, mayb u can try to stimulate by power pumping your right breast only. Stimulate more, more supply mah? Alternatively, get BB to latch on the right!

Tmr have to bring my boy back to polyclinic for jaundice. Last measure his level 180 on sat. Hopefully can come down somemore. He have other issues follow up at Kkh. Not with any PD yetHi mine also on similac but now mostly on ebm. She also wee more than she poo... Need to bring her back for review again this Thursday.
Who is you PD?
How about the 6th? I believe it's for hepB second shot. Do you know how much is it at polyclinic?5-in-1 is free at Poly... Gonna do it at 1mo...
What is the jaundice level now? Do h need to go back to do blood test again?
Previously w my no1, he had severe jaundice and I battled with it for 12w. PD only advised to ensure intake of milk, Pee and poo.
So I continued giving ebm (he was poor latcher, doesn't take much milk when latching), so ebm I can enforce and "force feed" him the 80ml that PD advised. I sun him alternate days (cos I lazy) in the morn sun. He hates it. Wake him up 3hrly so as to give ebm... Cut ginger and alcohol from confinement food.
I'm not sure if this ginger/alcohol thing will affect g6pd cos mine seems to be bm jaundice. Did liver test, thank God nothing wrong w liver, just slowly slowly wait for his body to mature and deal w the bilirubin!

I think it's quite permanent leh.. I mean this is so far I can see from my breast la. After the 2nd one, I realized that one of my breast is smaller. Now that I'm breastfeeding, though both my boobs grow in size, they are still imbalance. I also yield lesser from the smaller boob. Now what I did is to do power pump on the smaller one and hopefully it will have more milk supply and thus grow bigger to catch with the other boob.. Haha..Mine still watery poo...this uneven size is permanent?? Mine is like 2 cup diff...damn ugly
Just now around 4pm like that can feel like a bit uncomfortable, tummy can feel tighten, not like contraction pain. When I went to toilet around 530pm then just realise got brown spot.Yes to see if the light brown spotting gets heavier. Any contraction?
I just got brown spotting, tummy feel a bit hard and tight... 37W1D
Feeling nervous now! Continue monitor?
Yea continue to monitor till u feel the contraction or bloody show. I got brow spotting for three days and finally feel the contraction and bloody show come.I just got brown spotting, tummy feel a bit hard and tight... 37W1D
Feeling nervous now! Continue monitor?
Can't recall who talked about yang shifu too on naming. I've just met him. So it takes about 1w plus to come back.
I asked about him....did he give a few names for you to choose? Or characters up to you to mix n match?Can't recall who talked about yang shifu too on naming. I've just met him. So it takes about 1w plus to come back.
I'm curious, so now ur LO has no birth cert yet??Can't recall who talked about yang shifu too on naming. I've just met him. So it takes about 1w plus to come back.
Redvel think can still do the birth cert at the hospital u which u delivered. I did mine at TMC yesterdayCorrect, my bb has no birth cert. Zero identity ICA says to register within 14days. But have up to 42 days I think. Else need to explain why late for registration.
As for Yang Shifu, I find abit hard to understand what he is talking. Got some speech issue. Likely he can't speak English (if you ladies are more comfy with English). I find the whole experience so so la. But ultimately we get the name choices. He gave 5 characters each. Meaning 5 x 5 = 25 permutation. We have decided on one and will go ICA tmr.
Yes however hospital is $35 (for GlenE at least). ICA is $15.Redvel think can still do the birth cert at the hospital u which u delivered. I did mine at TMC yesterday
