Gan,
hmmmmm i'm not sure on the levels of jaundice but is yr gals jaundice considered high? has it gone down at all or still as high as before.
i've always read that breastmilk jaundice is never a reason to stop giving breastmilk. As long as she's peeing and pooing enough, the jaundice will clear up on it's own. it's not harmful except maybe the frequent BT for the bb lah...actually why need BT to check jaundice level? i remember my gal was always checked with this forehead scanner thingy, no need BT leh...
i've been to a number of full month celebrations where the bb still looks yellowish lor...and not all are fully breastfed.

Singapoh yes no Chinese herbs and minimal Ginger lime 2 pieces when steaming fish... Already asked cl not to put any Ginger when cooking fish can bear with the fishy smell. Ur gal also go for bt so often? I really Heartpain .
Grumpus her level is 229 based on kkh standard levels above 260 need phototheraphy. The cause of her jaundice was due to our bloodgroup diff, so I had antibodies of her blood that break down her red blood cells. According to hb doc said her level is stabilized but need bt to monitor. Singapoh mentioned before must bring to below 100

my son refused to go to sleep on his own, so far he is either latched on to fall asleep or after drinking milk to fall asleep.
this evening, he had his milk, still wide awake, we put him on the cot and he started crying and refused to sleep.
how do u train ur newborns to go to sleep?
i read abt the "cry it out method" but its really heart pain to see them cry so much.

Panda,
I think it's not her comment that makes u angry. I think u are still upset with her when she keep pressing u abt yr milk supply so anything comes out from her mouth is negative. Take it easy la. Take it as a joke lo. We need to hv a big sense of humor to survive motherhood!!
Actually I didn't feel anything when my bbs cry during bt lei. My gal's voice is superloud! Can hear her from a few houses away! My hb said got MIL's voice. She also laugh! My boy has small voice :s Mei mei took some of his voice away. Wahaha..

U can't train newborn to soothe themselves to zzz yet. Wait till they are a little older first.
I trained mine when they were 9.5 weeks old. That method is for 1 bb but I trained both together. Very seong for me coz this training is 24/7 for few days and yr family members need to support u 100%

Singapoh, u very cool mummy..
i dun even dare to go into the lab room.. i told hb i cannot see wht they will do to my babies.. n when i hear the cries from outside... i wanna break down liao :S
i find it rude tht mil kept saying these things about babies.. we were taught during antenatal classes tht we should not say things with negative connotations to the babies.. coz they sort of will understand ..
i tink i m turning into over protective mummy.. just now i was telling my hb.. now the feeds are abit haywire.. and i hv no idea how much babies are drinking each feed, neither do i know if their poo are ok n how many times they poo n pee. everything out of control.
the log book tht i started to record the feeding times is a mess....

Pandawife my mil likes to use the word 'stupid' on her grandchildren...... She will say things like 'Ho chun' in Cantonese on things the grandchildren did. I think I wld definitely be offended if she used that on my girl coz I dun think we shld say negative things in front of the kids.... I guess not so much abt being overprotective but different way of teaching kids.
Gan.. u r rite..different way of teaching..
last night before i went to bed, my mum n mil feeding my babies.. my mil started calling my boy a pig coz he drinks alot.. n my mum called my gal a bird coz she drinks v little.. i nearly fainted...
so i told them pls dun call my babies animals.. coz i dun wanna b mother pig nor mother bird! they both say i overprotective lor..they only joking...:S
really generation gap.. i dunno how to explain to them..they always like to use on me "in the olden days..........this n that"

happy hippo,
my PD told me yesterday to start to "teach" the babies to differentiate betw day n night. coz most babies are born night clubbers.
try to put them in brighter places in the house during the day time.. at night, when lights out, don't use white or yellow lights.. use infra red lights if u need to feed or change bb... the infra light will send a certain "sleep" signal to the babies brain.

its also different family culture, my parent never call us animal names when young. but my in law side call their children names like silly sister, silly dog, pigs etc... and their children in turn greet them as uncle n aunty instead of ma or pa...funny thing is sometimes they will be pissed off n said their children r being rude. hahaha...

Congrats Just Faith! Enjoy motherhood! So u went for natural birth? I think you're one of the few amongst us who managed to do that!
Girls,
Now beginning to feel nervous about tomorrow. Now I'm beginning to doubt if I can do epi c-sec. Keep thinking abt it and getting scared.... V tempted to just do GA and then can relax already, no need to think anymore today.
Panda - sure u weren't affected by the pulling and tugging although no pain? How abt sounds, smells? Today I asked my doc, he explained to me the process, quite scary leh. He said will have smell of blood and burnt flesh permeating the room, and then I shouldn't move upper body too much as it wld make lower body move and then their job harder. Then he said some ppl will feel weird, like the upper body being disconnected with lower body. Wah.... Dunno I can tahan or not.
How girls who hv done epi c-sec? Yr experiences?

Congrats on receiving ur bundle of joy!!
Congrats on receiving ur bundle of joy!!
working wife, smtimes knowing too much works against us. i only felt pins n needles n the shivering aft epi was done. i din smell or feel anything else...hahahah... the shivering quite bad leh..so i just concentrate on breathing and looking at my hb..... n before i knew it, i saw charming dr paul holding a baby in front of me! by then shivering also forgot liao...hahahahaha
i did not ask dr paul abt the procedure details before the op..i just knew tht i wanna see my babies first hand..its an experience tht shld never be missed...smthing u will share w ur hb in the many yrs to come. n hb gets to take plenty of pics of babies in the OT too....before they were being cleaned up

sounds huh..hmm ...there were quite a few pple in the room..but i only heard dr paul asking the nurses to adjust the lights, n he will also tell me which bb he is going to deliver ..n after all babies r out, he told me he is going to clean up and do the stitches... no feeling at all.......
dr philip also check on me occasionally to ask if i m feeling alright.. i tink he is suppose to adjust the epi dosage in the event i do feel any discomfort....

Singapoh,
i can dump everything into the washing machine. but no place to hang everything! so no choice hv to do in batches.
I know sterilizer, pump and warmer are easy to set up, that's why not bothering to set up now. if i can latch successfully i will just latch 100%. if need to pump and bottle feed then i can quickly do it once i'm home....
hahaha...sound so pro like that. come back sure chaos....

Panda,
U are A panda mummy, that's an animal too. Wahaha..
Some people very pantang say their bbs are cute, good looking after delivery. They will say bb is "ugly" so that evil spirit won't harm them.
When I saw my big son, I was like "aiyo like an old man!" My mum calls him "little old man!"
I also tell my MIL that my big son is like a monkey, super active! Those who met my son agreed! I jokingly asked PD if he has worm inside. Haha..
My twin boy is very chubby and my MIL said don't say that wor coz pantang. Doesn't make any sense to me lei.

Wah ok ok, I will be brave! Actually decided on epi already but doctor said final call by anesthesist. So I leave in their hands. My request is for epi but for some reason if they say GA is better tomorrow, then so be it. As long as bbs healthy.
Actually I never ask that many questions... Dr started explaining one! Hahaha. But that's my style... Need to know first how it is then I will be mentally prepared. I fully trust the docs and know I am in good hands. Its me myself that I'm scared I will freak out in there. But I will do it. Don't care lah. Owe it to myself to hv this experience if I can!
Wish me luck!

Panda,
I think it's the tone and intent when the older generation call our bb names. If they r complaining and being mean then of cos it's not nice. But if it's done affectionately I think it's ok.
I always call my girl monkey girl when she climbs everywhere but it's all in fun and joking and she doesn't take it as anything bad at all. I call her silly goose when she does something silly and last monkey when she eats her meals slowly.
