Daec,
I remembered reading that we must 'empty the breast' so that our body will know that the milk is not enuf, and will hence produce more milk. But I think frequency is very impt too. Last time I'll pump like 3 hourly even in the night I would set alarm clock to wake myself up to express. And I would express till the breast is as empty as possible, nvr time the duration.
After you have establish yr supply then can relax a bit at night like 5 hours once or so. This is just my method. Don't know whther will apply to others or not.

Yap, i saw that at pine garden. It was very simple and nice.
Actually i can see that his teeth is decaying, initally is only one teeth then become two. Have ask the PD about it and they said could be the medication that he took when young. I could see that his teeth is not strong and it took a long time for the teeth to grow. Till now his teeth is not fully grown yet.
Not enough calcium caused before he can take in any, he is already born. So Pd ask me to give him more cheese and milk.
Think is necessary for the extraction, if not it will affect other tooth as well. Hope eveything goes well. Feel very heart-pain too but no choice....

daec,
ya, actually cheaky is right. sister choo says strictly every 3 hours (cannot late; i kena marah once because i did 4 hours). Once supply established, skip one pumping session at night (so, 1 six hourly, the others still 3 hourly). if supply OK, then can skip 2 pumping sessions (2 six hourly, rest 3hourly)...etc...
didi,
just to interrupt, hehehe... basically from what i read on the web, Dr Brown, BornFree/BFree and Tommee Tippee have the same 'technology' because of the tube in the middle of the bottle that gets rid of wind. But, BFree teats are extra soft. I just bought one BFree bottle to try the teat (and the bottle if the teat and Avent bottle combi do not work on him) on my son this weekend. I actually tried to suck from the Avent teat and the BFree teat (yes, I am weird). I actually feel the difference. BFree is much softer. So no need to suck hard. And flow feels lesser too. I think Dr Brown's teats are not as soft as BFree, altho sole flow as well... But I havent bought to try.
And BFree is free of some chemical which is commonly used in other brands' bottles. You can read more that website if you want. But I din really read abt the chemical lah.

Didi,
ya,Actually Bfree & Dr.brown was quiet near. Before that i was using Dr.brown long and thin type as last time my boys still small, i dont want to give them neck teats as too big for them, after they grow up i change to neck teats, which fat botttle. So i need to buy new bottle, between Bfree&Dr.brown i need to choice. My friend told me Bfree bottle more tahan to steam as i steam every time i use, Drbrown bottle more soft. And some more the tube which inside bfree bottle got one small blue button which can prevent milk leck into tube, but dr.brown dont have, so i change to Bfree. And as i know Bfree bottle can use for dr.brown teats too, two of them quiet same. For me, i dont like avent, i feel the teats very hard and the bottle not so good as bfree, last time when i steam the avent bottle, as much i steam the bottle like turn colour, so i never use again.
Didi,
you can try to give bfree if you want, dont know kiddy place still got discount or not, if not try to go kaki bukit the baby hypermarket to buy, got 20% of twins pack 260ml bottle and 10% teats. ya, i also but the 120ml for them to drink water too. This type of bottle very good for baby prevent colic, as my boys seldom got colic now.

Didi,
oh, you need to buy the variounble teat which got 1,2,3 drop that one, I always take out the original cos hole vey small, you can try to use that variouble flow, you will feel very good after you baby use. If really he dont like it, never mind, just use the one he like,at least he use the bottle can prevent the wind.
Lindah,
dont worry , no problem one, last time my 1st twins also slow motion, when we go back for follow up by doctor, doctor play with him the toy and sound, he no action at all, but his brot yes, than when at home, when we play with him, he no action at all, we also worry,but after one day we take photograph, suddenlly he look at the camera, than he smile, from that day nward he got action to sound and us already. So you see, take time and relax.
Play with him more and call him more.

I personally try the lychee martini and the blackforest. I perfer the blackfores as it is not too sweet but I find the lychee martini abit sweet maybe not used to the taste. My ger will be celebrating her birthday with my elder sis. They both born on the same day.
Mich
What flavour did u ordered? Did u design your own cake and how much does it cost? Still not sure where to get the cake. Been thinking of getting from emicakes cause will be celebrating at Downtown East. Collection will be much more easier and no storage problem.
Hi Mommies,
How do u know if your bb got hernia problem? Can it been seen physically?

D&E were well behaved because they knew that was not their territory. They are monsters at home!
Chloegal
Wat do u mean his teeth not fully grown yet?
Dylan has one tooth at the side which is missing. So, there is a space in between 2 teeth.
I think i better bring him to dentist soon.
How did u manage to get edric to say AHHHHH during the check?
I ordered the black forest flavour.
I gave them with the design i wanted. Can't remember exactly how much. Less than S$100.
kkf
I drew for them wat i want, including the colours and they managed to make it as per my expectation.
I think most of the customers provide the designs to PG. They take pics of the cakes and show the designs to other customers. Dats how chloegal saw my cake at the shop.
Your cake: i saw a nice car track cake. Email u the pic another day.
Lindah
My boys were referred to ENT.
A more detailed test will be conducted to check if the babies are hearing ok.
Nothing to worry abt now. They just want to be sure.
If possible, request to see Prof Tan. We were very comfortable with him because he addressed all our concerns and answered to our questions. Be prepare to wait, his appointments are very packed. But i think inpatients get priority.

Cheaky,
hi, read ur post. i bought my son to a baby show on 15th july too, and was very piSSed with a doctor there.
The doctor whom was assessing his progress gave us a SHOCK look when we told him NO, he can't walk YET. But he is trying to, as he is trying to stand on his own.
I have make up my mind NEVER to bring him any baby contest as i do not want to be bother by such comments and looks again.

Mummies of premature,
i just want to share this.
a doctor from NUH once told me, do not worry about our little early starters' progress, as they will only be on par with their peers when they reach puberty.
and if you observe close enough, you will be amaze by what hidden talent they have. we might sometimes be too busy with the things they can't do, but overlooked at the things that they can do and is doing so well, even better than FT babies!
like kay, maybe becos he was used to having so many different care-takers taking care of him in the first two months of his life (the nurses and doctors in the NICU) that he is never shy of strangers. he do not cry or wiggle away or scream when one attempts to carry him. Instead, he loves giving them a welcoming smile!

Not fully grown means that there is some teeth that is not out yet. They will ask u to carry him and lie down on the chair together. Then they will tried to open his mouth and see. They will try to paficy him by giving him stickers. They are quite patient with him. From the brochure that i read, its say that parents should start brining their child to see a dentiseas soon as 1 year old.
Try to get referral from polyclinic. For consulation from referral is around $33+. If u make appt on your own, it cost around $75+ for consulation only.

Dylan has the same problem. He has one tooth not out!
I drag to bring them for reviews at KKH cos they will cry the moment they step into the doctors' rooms.
Hence, I dun think they will cooperate with me during the dental visit.
At least not for now.
If we are to ask Dr Argawal to refer them to the dentist at cleft center, will they be considered as subsidised patients?
How much did cleft center quote you? I want to do price comparison.
I hate the long queue at polyclinics.

Edric saw the dentist at National Dental Center. But his extraction will be done at KKH.

I agree with Kayton's mummy. I have to constantly remind myself not to compare her with FT bbs and that premmies have talents hidden somewhere waiting to surface.
My dd's obvious talent so far is to scream at her mummy. Her screams can be heard from 10th floor.
As for bb show doctors, how can they assess bb against their age and milestones. It is a very well-known fact that boys take slower to reach some milestones than girls. Plus our bb's are premmies after all. I know of a FT bb boy still cannot walk at 1 1/2yr old. His mother is as cool as a cucumber about that.

U will not be considered a subsidised patients. I think it cost around $75+. U can called them to find out the actual cost.
The dentist who is seeing edric preferred to do it in KKh caused all his History are there. She only do extraction on friday at KKH. Not sure if she is one of the dentist at KKH. Heard that there is only two dentist at kkh. One is on Monday and another is on Friday.

Your girl very chubby too, see his hand!!!!very cute too,
Disney.
Your girl very pretty too, and know how to pose too.ha..ha..
Didi,
hows your boy?like the new bottle?
Oh, I start them when they was 7month, as corrected month 5mth, quiet early ha, they ask me dont so early, but my doctor suggest me can start , dont too late. I gave them nestle plain cereal first,after that brown rice. Actually can try to give nestle gold stage 1, very nice and good.Your boy age quiet near my boys right?
Jane,
Oh, sorry to hear that, what happent to him? cough or flu? must take more care ha...try to give him some brown rice & cereal wth milk as more nutrition, i think better than porriage, actually today my doctor told me, porriage not very important to our baby, as cereal & brown rice wth milk was more nutrition and more good for our baby. She suggest me gove one time only the porriage, so now my boys schedule was:
8.30am-120ml milk
10am-210ml milk with 2 spoon of brown rice-spoon feeding.
12pm-60ml water
1pm-half bowl of porriage-abt 6 tablespoon.
3.30pm-200ml - milk
5.30pm-60ml Fruit juice
6.30PM-180ml milk wth 3spoon of nestle rice cereal.
9.pm-60water.
9.30pm-10pm-210ml milk with half packages of soya bean supplement food.
You will notice now their milk intake deduce, as now they not really take more milk lei. I am also headache.
So, try to give cereal if you can. You can try nestle gold, really good. got rice,apple and canberry. easy for digest too.
My boys now know to crawl front to get their toys, they use their body to push, very funny, sometime they will crawl together to get the same toy, if one of them get, the another one try to take from him too.
Ya,ya, want to share wth you, my 2nd twins the hyperactive boy fall down from bed last two day at 12.30am. Very kongpu ha!!!That one my hubby still watching tv down stair, that why no double block for him, i already block them 4 bloster for each person, but he still can sleep until roll and roll, until fall down from bed, quiet high, abt 2ft lei, I hearded the sound like pop, than i quicky wake up as i can feel that he fall down , he not cry in high volume, i quicky hug him, no time to see how he fall and in waht position, after that trying to find the place which he kena floor, but cant get it. after drink water he fall sleep again, i monitar him 24 hour and he ok. aiyo, reallly taboleh tahan him lei. His brother not like him. later you see his photo than you will know how active he was.

Jacelyn, my boys have gotten used to the milk bottles but 1 prob - they are using different flow for the teats so how should I differentiate ? hmm, hb suggested using stickers from label printer but think they will detach after numerous steaming, so how do you differentiate the bottles since you have twins too
my boys are 5 months (corrected about 3 months).
Didi,
Oh, I never take out the teat when i steam and i got use scissor for write their name as T & B at the white color cover which putting the teats. This is how i do the marking, and now my 1st twins he like the big hole, more easy for me now as just see the hole of teats. They using 3drop which quiet fast flow, now his one i cut some more to become big. very fast flow, more fast to finish as my boys drink milk is super slow, i will bulp for them half way they drink, if they can finish in 20 minit, i alreadfy thank gods!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh, your boys 5 month? maybe you need to wait when they turn t 6month? but if they reject the milk, than you can try the cereal slowly...Did you change teats? variouble teats? or you cut at the original teats?
How many kg of your boys now...
Show me their photo too, my 1st twins now 8.6kg, 2nd twin been catch up his broth which at 7.8kg as last time he diffirent with his brot abt 1.3kg. Now he like milk more.

Alamak, all your babies sososoososo cute! Wow stressed, your gal very very chubby leh.
Disney your gal soo pretty.
Jacelyn, envy, you got two boys, both so good looking.
Jane, I used to stay 5 days 4 nights too at kkh, ha! Yucky place. My boy got bronchitis last time...sooooooo scary. Rushed to kkh after work everyday, lucky I am a teacher so can be there around noon time. Is your boy better? What happened to him?
My boy lost weight during that time too, kept vomiting food, and crying. Haiz...lost 500grams, I still remember. He slowly then picks up his appetite. I am very very very phobia now. As I said, I faithfully bring him to YU GUO for tui na, every week, then also force him to drink vitamin syrup everyday. I really hope his immune will become stronger.
Mich thanks for your website. Will check it out. I haven't got time to do so, also too early, ha! My boy's birthday in october. I already printed out invitation cards liao!

Btw, I hope to bring my boy to zoo like disneymickey and stressed. I bought him to underwater world and he is sooo excited. I am afraid zoo may be too hot for him, and mosquitoes?
Btw, lindah, how's your boy? You attended the first aid course by kkh liao and the 4 sessions of dunno what course (I forgot, I think is to prepare parents to take care of their premature babies). I still remember attending the courses, haha. I know the last course is bathing!
Jaceyln hope your boy ok. My boy used to fall down from the bed too. ha! I have downgraded by bed to just a mattress to avoid that.

thanks, my boy ok liao. Aiya, I cant bring down the mattress as my bed was built in one, and my friend told me dont sleep direct on the floor without the bed, a lot of duct as we cant see, will costhem sensitive. So what i can do now is put the mattress at the floor , if really he fall down again, only kena mattress, not so pain.haa,haa. Actually they got babycoat, my sis ask me to give them sleep inside, but i really pity them if they sleep there alone, no bear to let them sleep alone. ha..
