linda, the 24 hr non-conditioned coffee shop w econ. thot u lived near there.

caymom,
now me BF mah, so worried supply will drop. really enjoy BF, close to bb mah. now just discovered a lump in right breast! so EBM now...

 

[linda]

ya..abit confused!! but now i know which one u guys talking abt...heehee

beluga..me too, miss my ger badly for the few weeks back to work!

 

[beluga]

how did u both cope???? can concentrate on work?
me half-hearted to work. hahaha...!

 

[caymom]

Beluga,
I just finished EBM at 11pm.

Glad to see another BFg mom here. Massage the lump when you EBM, it should help to clear it.

 

[linda]

haha..of cos cant lah..keeps calling home to ensure everything is fine at home!

think every1 will sure go through this stage lah, especially 1st time mummies like us..

 

[caymom]

Beluga,
The first week was tough but got a lot of work to keep my mind occupied. I kept calling back to check on my gal.

 

[caymom]

Agree with Linda.

It's a passing phase.

 

[beluga]

me been pumping since 10.30pm!!! lump still here leh argh!!!
used hot compress, bit better w some let down. later bb wake then feed this breast first. hope lump goes away...

how long u been BFg?? ur girl 1 yr rite??

 

[linda]

wow..u two veri good leh..still BF! I given up the 1st mth liao! find it veri diffcult cos no1 to guide n help me...was veri depressed that period...feeling so gulity and useless.

 

[beluga]

k, tks for the support!! badly need it. hee.
must presevere ah...

 

[caymom]

Beluga,
My gal 9mths old only.
Kekeke... when I get 'stubborn' lumps, I just let it be as long as it's not painful. No time to keep pumping. It usually clears by the next pump.

 

[linda]

beluga
i think u shld try to massage it instead of using hot compress..this is wat my collegues adv me the other time.

 

[beluga]

me was depressed too!! no milk at all n super engorged! felt so helpless...

went to find lactation consultant lor... then EBM, till 1.5 mths later, bb could latch then TBM till now.

 

[caymom]

Linda,
I went through that phase too. My supply came late and my gal was screaming from hunger. I fed her FM instead. I had the same feeling of guilt too. Eventually the supply came and I switched her back to TBF.

 

[linda]

caymom
9mths old?? when is her bdae? cos my ger also ard 9mths ma...

 

[beluga]

caymom, massage in circular motion ard the lump??

 

[caymom]

Beluga,
My gal could latch but I got no BM. She sucked until so hard and cried angrily like I'm cheating her.

 

[caymom]

Linda,
My gal born on 25may, yours?

Beluga,
Yup, in circular motion but sometimes I just rub it.

 

[linda]

oh..izzit! but at least u two knows wat to do ma..
i was so tired n depressed tat time..my husband even suspect me of having post-natal blues..hahaha
see me so stress, then keeps asking me to give up instead of encourging me..

 

[beluga]

ya same case here. but my boy could only latch on right side. then my mum made me give boy FM. 5am went out to NTUC express to buy...

 

[linda]

caymom

[caymom]

Linda,
Hb always like that one, even my mom and mil also discourage me at times... out of kind intention but that's not what we want loh.

 

[beluga]

[caymom]

Beluga,
Wow, 5am?! Must be really urgent case.

Linda,
Wow, our gals only 5 days apart. Can your gal crawl already? Any teeth?

 

[linda]
