Is it painful? Try the warm towel method, then get your bb to suckle...best remedy.
Ok, I think I shall try the evening interval first, things are ok so far, maybe start to skip the 5pm, then pump at 7pm.. now I usually feed bb at around 9pm+...
Yah, in fact was just telling hb that remember that time like 2 weeks into my confinement, I was wailing and about to give up b/feeding cos my baby was feeding so frequently (thinking back, glad I did not give up! BB was just having his plan to double his weight too!) as I was so tired.
You should not give up, don't care what your mum or mil says. Precisely that bm is NOT so easily available that you should continue, unlike formula milk, every bit you give has antibodies which is good.

Clogged duct can be painful. Had it once, I expressed also the bm does not come out. In the end, my bb helped me..hehe...suckled him and it was gone!
girl/quench
I let him suck his thumb...I think it's ok lah. Read in the book that it's ok...

It looks like an infant car seat (for bbs ?) to me... someone gave me this tiny pillow thingy which I am thinking of putting it there to help him support his head. I didn't shave bb's hair at all, yah, the bb hair dropped, actually I think bb looks a bit gly but my hb does not want him to shave and I am also not very particular so we just left it. I think the fact that workings mums still manage to continue expressing is something wonderful already cos I know how stressful it can be at times, gotta find a place, clean the equipment, be disciplined, etc.
maro, desert is not working...yet....so maybe she can tahan waking up several times (heheee...). I also cannot take if I have to wake up few times but thank God, my bb usually sleeps thru...sometimes I peep when he makes noise, if his eyes are close, I just shove the dummy inside his mouth...haha.. anyway must say my boy is quite good when it comes to bedtime, cos after we put him down, he will fall asleep by himself.
desert
Btw I should be on leave 14-18 Jun after my mega meeting, we can meet up one afternoon in TPY... hb/I will be looking after my boy cos parents going on holiday. Hb also on leave but he has to go back one afternoon to office for some meeting.

You did mention you tried the sleeping latch-on position right? Me also tried it but I don't like it, still prefer the traditional cradle position.

Me and husb also dont bear to cut her nice hair but always scared by those people we met outside that if dont cut, will fall off and can't grow back. Well, maybe we wait till it drop a bit then only shave. Girl, my gal hair also standing up and a bit curly, so my husb always call her aunt, hehe....

It's dangerous not to let ur bb sit in a car seat, though I am guilty of doing tt a few times. Sometimes, bf while hubby is driving to save time. U can get those car seats that will last fr infant to a few yr old.
Stylobb
That's why I say its a bad habit. I hv stopped letting him suck once he's awake in the day some time ago. But at nite, I am too lazy to do that, coz its actually more convenient for me to turn ard and let him suck than, continue to sleep. Like u say, I am not working, so not so tiring. I cannot meet u during wkdays, coz I bring him to my P's shop during wkday. If not, I cannot tahan carrying him alone for so long. I look after him during wkdays, run errands for my P and help with the shop. Hv been bringing him round tt area in sarong sling.
M_maro
Yup, me on no pay leave until end of the yr. As long as he dun wake up too often, I can still sleep lor, coz I always wake up semi-consious to feed him, then doze off. Yup, got to ctl spending.
Angeline
Yup, I turn ard and then locate his mouth lor, he will also turn his head ard. He sleeps in the middle, so I normally change and sleep on the other side if I dun fall asleep after nursing. Sometimes, dun remember, will feed 2 times on 1 side, then the other side will be hard. Actually I am not doing it the rt way, suppose to give him full feed when he wakes up.

Yeap, very busy at work. Can only pop in once a while for a breather.

I think mine started dropping when my boy is about 4mths old. Not sure when will it stop...
My hair will drop a few here and there without combing or messing with it...

the dropping of hair seems like it's normal after delivery and not due to stress. Ask around and quite a lot of people experience such.

My friend told me if really massaged by yourself, it's very painful..that time she told me to be prepared but thank God, no need, my bb very good, did his usual suckling and it was gone but guess my condition not so serious. Hah? the husband did it? This is new!
maro/girl
If I am not mistaken, too much fm may make the bb obese.. same lah, that time, whenever bb cries, they will suggest feed formula, I said NO! glad that I hung on and did not give in. But now I split between fm and bm cos I haven't been eating well and not sure if my bm is good enuf in that sense.

Hi m_maro,
I was very sad during 1st mth cos supply low. Had to listen to comments about bb not getting enough. But then, baby starting blooming and gained 2kg in that month.....so was a bit ya ya about it.
In fact, my supply only came during the last 2 weeks of maternity leave. And I am not eating special foods then, just whatever's on the table.
Not sure which stage you are in, dun worry too much - as long as bb doing well, it's ok.

my husb call her aunt because the hair so much and messy make her look like those aunt wake up in the morning with roller. Is it real that husb can help to suck out milk? actually when my gal was not sucking well initially, we thought can get our niece who was still being nursed to help suckle to stimulate, but so funny, she look at my face and realise its not her mummy, she was so angry and pushed me away, haha.....
stylobb
I think mini is going to Tokyo, I will be going Germany end of July.
I cant oppose to give fm since my gal didnt want to suckle and so obvious that the bm was not enough for her, just regret that should have pump more often that time.

baby is always the best pump. managed to clear my block ducts in the middle of last night after feeding baby twice. when feed him before went bed he still din manage to clear the ducts. think he quite sleepy n suction not strong enough. the blocked ducts was so painful when i went to sleep. so glad no more pain now.
i am the one going to japan. not tokyo but chiba. will go there from 13-19june. dun think have time to go tokyo this time round unless i extend 1 more day there. but better dun extend since wanna see baby fast. like tat can only shop at chiba. have been storing milk for baby. by the time i go, seem like may have enough frozen EBM to last him for a wk. but quite poor thing as my boy wont have fresh milk for a wk
hope supply wont dip after i come back.

QHL
I initially got oversupply, but bb didnt want to suckle, so i got to pump, but didnt do it regularly, so i have experience dramatical drop in supply since 2-3 week. You are so lucky that supply could go up during last 2 weeks of maternity leave. My baby now 2.5 mth already and i have been back to work, so dont think any miracle will happen.....

she took naps in very now and then. Sometimes, I am amazed how fast she can dozed off, playing one min then dozed off the other min. I am trying to keep her awake but when I am expressing, my hb and FIL (whom look after her) jus let her dozed off. I cant bear to wake her up so let her sleep lor. She sleeps for 30mins.
My mum said she sleeps at 3am on last Sat!! Imagine she sleeps so late, poor mummy got to wake up at 6am to pump milk so it is like a few hrs sleep for me only. Very shag!

have not thought about pumping on the plane, you just remind me, haha, how to do it on the plane? I always see a long q waiting outside restroom, think they will probbaly call ambulance if i occupy the room for half an hour....
girl,
I also wonder how to flatten the standing hair, very tempted to apply gel on her hair.... my gal hate people touching her hair, she normally scream to protest! I wanted to put hairband for her thought that it may cover the standing hair, have been looking around, but just couldnt find. Anyway, I think when the hair grow longer, it will just flatten by itself. I am very curious how your girl look like, can see her photo?
Miu,
your gal sleep so late? she must be sleeping very well in the afternoon!?

dunno why the sudden change in her sleeping pattern. She used to sleep ard 10-11pm. I told her bbsitter not to let her sleep so much in the afternoon. However after seeing how fast she can jus dozed off, I cant really blame the bbsitter for letting her sleep oso. Jus tonite, I held a rattle and kept rattling ard her ears and yet she still can dozed off and sleep. Amazing!

hi joanne lim,
you may want to look at the other thread "increase breast milk" somebody mentioned its possible to restart supply after weaning for months.
miu,
I guess bb sleeping pattern do change once in a while, my gal also used to sleep around 10-11pm, but since last week, she has been sleeping at 6-7pm, reason being she is too active in the afternoon, the most only take half an hour nap...

No, the shop is in aljunied area. If its in TP, definitely will be able to meet up with u.
I am so unlucky, I think got blocked duct, started yesterday, but this time no matter how I massage still not much comes out. This time the blocked area also seems larger and more serious. I tried to let my boy sucks, but he is not too willing to do it, coz not much milk comes out. In the end, my breast got engorged. I tried cabbage to relieve the pain, but my problem still unsolved. So unlucky today is public holiday, no lc to help me. I think hv to go and see lc tomorrow.
Miu
Actually it is not safe to carry them, shd put them in car seat. In case of car accident "touch wd", we are actually endangering their lives. In addition, I think TP also req them to be in car seats.

while in flight think can only express milk in the toilet. i am using ameda pump n can pump milk in 10-15min. hope that wont b too long. will have to try pumping during the not so active part of flight where most passengers will rest. hope the flight i am taking will not b too crowded. luckily the flight journey is 7hrs n just need to pump once.

Joel didn't fuss when I brought him back home on tuesday. so happy... but need to monitor further and see how's next week when we brought him back on Friday.
After i stop BF in about 1 mth time, will be going for a holiday with hubby. Need a break..
quench
the way to increase BM is to pump more frequently. I know it's tiring have to cope with work and looking after bb and pump. I am in the similar situation but is better than your case as my mum is helping me to looking after my boy weekday night as well.

Dear Mummies,
I am thinking of going to KL for 2 days. I have a reservation. I am wondering what to do with my milk. I do not intend to pump and throw. I want to keep it till I return to Singapore then to freeze it. Is there anyone here who can advise me on what is appropriate? Thanks.

maro,
mine is totally opposite. She always dozed off after her feed during the day while at nite, she is very alert, keep want to play. Haiz....
desert,
oh dear! I hope you are feeling better.
Hubby said if kena stop by TP, jus tell them bb fusses and refused to sit on carseat. However this only work if the carseat is install on the car.
quench,
It's like dat one. Me oso feel the strain after returning to work. Dun pressurize yourself too much, jus give watever you have okie. Take care of yourself, a healthy mummy = healthy bb. FYI, whenever I feel tired, I drink chicken essence.
Dun keep thinking of increasing your ss, take care of your body 1st. Im sure your ss will come back when you are in a better state.
Helen,

quench,
think its okie to take 1-2cups of coffee a day n then give the EBM to bb. anyway u dun take coffee everyday right? here is some info extracted from babycenter website:
"One or two cups of coffee a day won't harm your baby, but try to avoid caffeine or at least reduce your intake while you're breastfeeding. Try drinking decaffeinated coffee and tea and avoid colas and other carbonated drinks that have added caffeine."

m_maro,
I'm also tempted to apply something to make the hair flatten, but don't think I can find anything suitable... Also worried that she touches it then puts her hand in her mouth after that...
Will attach photo...
Quench,

Can't wait to be able to indulge again once I stop BF

That's what my mum says too, as long as got car seat in the car, then it will be ok to carry them in our arms. I am guilty of tt many times, coz sometimes bf while hubby is driving to save time.
Miu/stylobb
Aiyoh, my problem really bad. The problem started on Tuesday, by the time I realised, my breast already quite engorged. I could not express out anything much due to the blockage. Could only use cabbage to relieve the discomfort. Then, wed public holiday, no lc available. On wed nite, we decided to massage and squeeze out the milk. Really painful, but its still block coz the milk accumulates above my aerola, got to squeeze out from them. Finally saw the lc yesterday at 4pm, she removed a dried up milk clot in my nipples. She told me my milk going to dry up, coz I've not been feeding 4 almost 3 days. Told me must get bb to latch on and pump after tt to stimulate milk again. Milk ss shd resume normal in abt 1 wk. Really upset.
I hv to work hard again. On top of all this, my boy still takes very little from the bottle, so he has not been eating well these 3 days.
Girl
Ur gal has so much hair. Unlike my boy, still waiting for his hair to grow.

Hi quench,
green papaya soup (boil with pork/chicken and gor kee [wolfberries]) helped increase supply. I also ate a lot of kuning fish. Green papaya must be the type with white flesh - can get from carre4.
I used to pump, after that then latch my bb on. Not sure if he got much milk from me, but he never cry leh.
According to my warped theory, this should increase the supply cos the body would think that bb needs more milk (and therefore produce more).

maro,
Brought her to a hair saloon at Hougang, the lady who shaved her head has experience shaving bb's head. I didnt apply anything to her shaven head except olive oil once. MIL commented her hair like quite coarse and is still botak at the back so she bought a bottle of olive oil. She said apply alittle all over her head abt 30 mins before bathing her. So far, I only did once (keep forgetting to do this step 1st before bathing. haha).

actually I not sure if can/not take laksa...but was thinking if I take spicy food, my milk might become spicy?
Only thing I know should minimise is cooling stuff like coconut. Apparently if take too cooling stuff, baby might suffer in future (asthma??)
Actually I quite noti alr, everything and anything I eat....didn really 'close my mouth'. Even Cola also I drank. But then anything in moderation should be ok.
