[lekdao]

I wished i had stock up on more front opening clothes!!! N long pants... I am not allowed to wear shorts.... well its ok im sure time flies!!! ( trying hard to think +ve!)

Why not allow to wear shorts? how long is your clothes?
I worn those nite sleeping dress which cover up till below my knee and dun need to wear shorts at allz.

Just endure for 2 weeks, u will feels better and wont sweat that much after your body already adjusted to the weather and food.

BTW, to all mummies.

Mayb you want to consider start looking for hair loss shampoo and hair tonic after you completed your confirnement. On the 3rd - 4th mths you may start dropping hair. Its very normal/common that we drop hairs, so dun worry. this will last abt 6 mths, so its good start using early to prevent loss much hair.

All my friends experienced hair dropping. Even my hairdresser able to guess how many mths my kid is when she handle my hair after my confinement.

That is why, now i alert mummies to look ard for good hair loss shampoo and hair tonic. Meanwhile you can try eating shouwu and black saeseme seeds that helps to strengthen the hair.

Just reading all your confinement woes~ so far I think I must be one of the naughtiest mummies here for not following all the advice! I've been showering in hot/warm water since returning from the hospital on Day 3 - wash my short hair but blow-dry immediately afterwards. I wear capris (3/4 pants) and t-shirt and sleep with air con but will cover with blanket. Maybe the only thing I've been strictly following is the confinement food because I have a confinement lady who prepares my meals (and of course nagging from mum and mum-in-law haha) - so far so good, not too uncomfortable, nor craving for anything. In fact, quite enjoying the vinegar pig trotters! Been having that for the past few days!

Are all mummies breastfeeding? Sadly I havent been able to get baby to latch on successfully, and my milk only came in on Day 5 so we started her on formula supplements. Now expressing and feeding her with bottle, and formula as top up because breastmilk quantity is still not a lot. How are your experiences so far?

Its very normal, try latching your baby more.
Get your confinement lady to make papaya fish bone soup for u, it helps to produce milk, and also taking milo, horlicks and oats.

FYI, not enuff rest, stress will affect milk supply.

Same here. I'm wearing shorts and always walking ard e house wit socks on. Window and fans always on but not blowing directly at me. Super hot, esp when feeding baby.

My supply was very limited too. Din know until I tried to express out on day 3. Baby was under fed for days and kept crying. Now day 5 feeding on formula and breast milk. It's not enough.

Hey Mummies,

Did you all book for Malay massage? I found one but she was telling me I need to pay the full amount on my first session. Is it normal? How do you all go about making the payment?

Also what are normally included in the massage and how long per session? How many sessions is enough?
