Any mummies feed their baby on expressed breast milk only?

Tuffy/alittlemiracle

cannot put car seat in front??so will put car seat behind wif baby behind....den u wont be able to see her she is crying liao lor....usually I will sit behind wif Nat in the car seat...me n hubby tried ignoring her while driving and she is ok wif it.......justshift my car seat to the front last nite.....my car got air bag....so cannot har??
 


love,
got air bag cannot loh. cos in case anything happens (touch wood) and the airbag is released, bb may get "squished". you know what I mean? U can try leaving nat with her fav toys and see if she will settle down. have to slowly try to get her used to sitting alone at the back loh. Or like alittlemiracle says, just drive and ignore her. heartpain but no choice.

alittlemiracle - I can't bear to part with money again for another carrier... hai.. how many positions can the ergo take?
 
love ah car seat cant put in front w airbag lah... put nat at the back lah.... she may wall for a while but eventually will get the idea.... my jh n jx n jj got the idea this way.... they wall den me hv to harden heart lor.....
 
alittlemiracle,
wow, yr morning pump really good, hope u hit 450ml today!

poko,
Penang shiok or not? I love the food there, mmm...

welcome, honeybee!
yr bb sounds like mine - hardly sleeps in the day. some more u alone with bb really not easy to find time to pump regularly. maybe u can try latch one side, pump the other side.

tuffy,
hehe, u 6 hrs consider long hrs, for me is normal.

crystalmum,
yr ss good must jia you ok! how I wish I got more ss I sure will chiong long term like bitbit & alittlemiracle.
 
hi mummies

i m also feeding my girl w ebm. have been pumping 3hrly. as my maternity leave is coming to end by 8 jan, this few days I stretch till 4-5 hr then pump and skip the 3am pump. When I wake up breasts are rock hard and painful.

yesterday I felt one very hard and painful lump in left breast, size of a buah luku! Could be blocked duct? Asked hubby to massage for me coz it was so painful I could'n do it myself. It's slightly better now but the painful lump is still there, just smaller and I cant seem to get rid of it. anyone has this before? What can I do?
 
hi, tuffy,
Hope yr office ok to let u pump every 4 hrs. My hh can't be fed on schedule, must wait for him to be hungry then only can feed. Yesterday my MIL said he can finish 5oz every feed.

whitefloral
sounds like blocked duct to me. Try using a hot towel to massage the area and try to hand express the lump towards your nipple. Once you see the jets flowing, express until no more milk and it should be cleared up after that.

sp
I used to try that with my gal too when she couldn't finish her milk. So wait for her to yell loh. But lately, I noticed she stops complaining when she is hungry - must wait till she is v v hungry which could be 5 hours plus before she will start crying. So now, am back to scheduled feeding again. hai.. everything change here and there...
 
morning mummies..my gal finally taking her morning nap..she poor thing..now got no smooth skin leh..the dryness spread to all over liao..dont know if is cos of the wash? shd i bring her to my own pd? the one i took her to see rashes is near my house one..

poko - so long holiday so shiok! u very chek arc one leh..keep saying cheap cheap..we here only can 'see' cannot buy..argh...

k..quickly post this first..later gone again..tis second time i type the above..
 
honeybee - i cant give much advice leh..paiseh..cos hor still tink latching on the best leh..of cos pumping can be done after latching on to increase ss..but really gotta do regular pumping leh..

but hor..come to tink of it..u starting work soon? maybe u can start pumping in the day and latch on at night? since tats wat u will do when u start work? then your regular pumping in the day can increase your ss?

sp - will tahan as long as i can cos got bitbit/alittlemiracle as encourgement mah..hehe..and of cos all mummies here..
 
mummies ask u all whether i shld buy a b carrier... since quite ex n onli going to use for another 1-2 yr.... or juz stick to the sling.....

tuffy later me go hm n check now still wking sianz.... u got ur sliver mat yet?

crystalmum- me use the ceam on jj n put him in aircon... got improvement leh... now not so rough liao
 
crystalmum,
rem that time i bot the lotion at vitakids? tats cos shauna skin getting dry too, and she got slight ezema so i hv to buy one without chemicals. after using that every bath, now her skin smooth smooth again.. u can try that too.. with ezema muz keep skin moisturised all the time.

tuffy,
i also tempted to get ergo for a long long time liao.. but very ex.. bu se de buy.. but its a good carrier lor.

yeah!! me on leave today...
 
sp,
my ss still the same low.. i pump 3 times a day, if lazy will be 2 times.. but i try not to stress myself too much abt my ss liao.. jus keep going until no more.. u can latch, latch bb more often lor.. so good.. my gal from day 1 latch abit for colostrum.. then dun wan latch liao. how i wish i can experience the bonding and feeling of BF bb that way.. you jia you ok!!

crystalmum,

love,
cannot put car sear in front with airbag leh... think u put at the back better...

whitefloral...like tuffy say, handexpress teh hard lump towards the nipple until you get the jets...you will know it when it is released...it will feel instantly relieved....like you strike toto first prize plus milk fountain.

tuffy
ergo has 2 main carrying positions: Front and Back but i think can also carrying like hip carry, but i only use it as a front carrier
the good thing about it is it really supports the weight very well lor.

sheris
you use the MIM sling ah?
what positions u use ah?
 
aircon good for eczema coz perspiration and heat will cause flare up.

hair dropping
hwah...me one fine day (after going out to buy super expensive shampoo and conditioner) hair fell out in clumps...i thought it was mu super ex shampoo...but alas..it is postpartum hair loss...drop ALOT ALOT...drop for about 4 months or alittle more.... now back to normal liao...but i have a tonne of baby hair...close up hor, i look like einstien...last time already got so much baby hair...now really haywire!
 
thanks for all the adv...I will shift athe car seat to the back tonite..hehehe....actually Nat can sit in car seat...longest trip we go is 30 mins and she is ok wif it...

just wash the kammi toy.....haven let Nat try yet...dun know she like or not...anxious to try ler...

something to report....dun know is it a good news or bad news....I have officially stop pumping liao.....thats the end of my pumping session....will u gals still welcome me??? But Nat will still feed on EBM..as I am very supportive of babies drinking BM one....
 
crystalmum - hmm. this mother cheapskate lah. don't wanna buy brand new bottle just to get the anti colic regulator. Anyway, my gal is refusing milk again. also refused rice cereal. dunno what she wants. btw, do you freeze bb food? mothers in the Aug thread buying v cute little cubes to store frozen bb food. wondering whether to buy.

alittlemiracle and jas - hai. the ergo does look more comfy that the bjorn. but cannot buy oredy. sure get nagging..

sheris - yup! got the 15mm pooh mat. I must say, the thickness does make a diff. V comfy.
happy.gif
But the finishing quite different from LG. This one is v smooth but the LG one got little holes in each "bubble" so more traction.
 
tuffy- so which one better? the sliver or lg? huh wat's traction?

my jj today firdt time makan cereal... kekeke eat a few mouth then the rest makan by his sis..... sigh....
 
I think the finishing for LG is better but the silver pooh still acceptable lah. For the money paid, think it is still a good deal. Traction as in friction - wondering if it is easier for bb to learn to crawl on the LG since it is rougher than on silver pooh.
happy.gif


how much cereal you giving him?
 
me cheapskate lah... give him nestle brown rice same as his kor n jie....

anyone know what happen to this nestle brown rice can't see to find it
 
Hi,
yeah, also thot since going back to work soon, it'll be like the schedule i'll hv to adopt at work.
think will try it out. tk goodness my dad sticks ard during the day to help carry bb...
happy.gif

only worry cant stick to regular freq - esp over weekends, when go out for longer periods of time.

I feel like crying liao... :"(( another 4 mths mths till May 2006 leh... stress ah...

New year coming soon.. should i colour my hair again? Hai... my hubby ask me not to apply hair styling prdts on my hair leh... min the damage...

Btw.. My Alden next mth 4 mths old liao.. wat kind of bb food i can give huh?

Crystalmum..

U dun look like u got hair lost leh.. keke... does Crystal pull yr hair huh? I heard tat bbs like to pull hair whenever they see hair..
 
crystalmum, i think u better bring crystal to her PD if there's still no improvement. Daryll still having dry patches on his legs, think i'll need to bring him back to his PD again..

hair dropping
mine also started to drop like crazy, beh tahan so i cut it very short..
now i feel so much lighter and airy..hehe

fun, dun need to let Alden start on solids so early.. the best is to start at 6 months..

crystalmum, jas & alittlemiracle, so good lah the 3 of you. me still have to come back to office even tho the company is on yearly shutdown. tis year sure busy like hell... dun even have time to go shopping leh...
 
westbb, your boy is soo chubby and always smile with tat cheeky looks leh... kawaii ne

Phoebe

sheris, jj 6 mths old today, so fast!

tuffy, yr gal how now? how u feel ah when she rejects milk/ cereal? I always feel stressed-up, so usually will pass to other ppl to feed. If I still try to feed sure cannot one, think my hh can feel my anger...

harlow mummies

tuffy
regarding the ice cube tray...a girlfriend told me she used to use these individual cubes and found it difficult to press out the frozen food...so she advised me to get the tray type so can twist and turn the whole tray to pop out the frozen food...so that is what i did and it is very easy to use. i bought mine from taka. They have several sizes... th eone i bought is about 20ml per cube.

crystalmum
so next month, we can vote for crystal issit?

no lah.... angel not so violent la...she very cute one... her latest tricks: when i ask her "how to love mama?" she will put her cheek to my chest. so cute hor.... hee hee
