Hi Tannie
I understand what you are going through, that was what I feel too! Even today I still feel upset and I think sleep and being well rested is extremely important.
Remember that all theses are temporary and you just have to endure till things get better. And once you get into a routine, things will be better!
We are all here for each other and don't keep things to yourself. Listen to soothing music and don't mind what everyone else says. Just say that the doctor or nurse said this and that must be done like that, this will usually shut up others.

Dear milkshake
I admire you, I would have broke down on the spot! Don't worry, you are handling things extremely well and I am so proud of you!
Don't worry about not enough milk, your body will always have enough for your baby
Try to do something for yourself, like eating a piece of nice cake or a short nap together with baby. These are what kept me sane, and surfing about baby!
Share with hubby your thoughts, it will improve communication and you will feel better after sharing.
remember to take things one step at a time!

dont't know about you ladies. I think my baby is going thru a growth spurt at 4 weeks and is drinking milk like water. So I'm trying to keep up with her demand.
I keep checking the freezer and each time I see there are only 2-3 bottles of EBM left when the night before there was 6, I wld get anxious
Last night I almost had a meltdown. Baby was fussy so I latched her n she was quiet n sleeping. My sis and husband came home and i went to shower. as usual they wld go and visit the baby room n call her or try to play with her. I was drying myself after shower when my husband came into the toilet to say "baby is crying". I felt frustrated!! Cos it's like all they know is play with the baby and when she cries they tell me she's crying. I felt like I didnt even have a 5 minute breather!
So I kept quiet and dried myself further with a hair dryer. Next my sis comes in and says I shouldn't let my helper handle/carry baby esp since she just finish cooking. Wah I really wanted to cry on the spot but held it back.
Im starting to feel depressed that everyone is always concern about the baby but never about the mother and how much she has to go thru daily to care an feed the baby.
Sigh really feel like gg away somewhere to clear my mind but obviously it's not possible
Sorry. Just felt like ranting
Dear fanger
Trust your instinct, if baby cries, sometimes, she just want a hug. I often try to talk to my girl. I ask her if she wants milk and after a few mili second, will offer her my breast. This tells her that I am attending to her and calms her down. usually, she wants milk (at 3 Weeks old). Then, watch out for her body gesture if she sucks. You can then recognize if she does a particular gesture like putting hand to mouth when she is hungry.
Other times, my girl will cry because diaper is wet. But she still suckle because my breast calms her down.so after she stops sucking, I will change the diaper. I always try to pacify her and calm her before attending to other needs. This makes me calmer when she is not crying.
My girl also cries when it is too hot, when she don't like to lie in a particular way, or when her hands are pulling her hair!
My family including husband tells me not to hold her too often but I don't care. How can a less than one month baby be too pampered by hugging her? I intend to hold her whole day beside me if I can but the weather is too hot.. So I try to keep in contact with part of her leg or keep stroking her. This calms her too. Even when she is sleeping.
I find that she sleeps better and longer when I hold her. Normally she cries in the day when she wants to change her position. Try to prop her up on your knees, hold her in your arm, or rest her head on either your shoulder or chest or just make sure her back is not sweaty or she does not have too much sunlight in her eyes, or maybe the room is too noisy.
Or she may not feel full and wants just a few more sip of milk. Be patient and smile at her. Babies can feel if you are stress. Just be calm and happy! We have endured so much, it is such a joy to hold our baby in our arms!

Congratulations, climsp!
It is so nice to see our babies finally after so many months! And I am so envious, you gained only 2 KG!
My weight gain was 5kg immediately after delivery. And after breast feeding, now I think I am left with another 3kg. Anyway I am hungry most of the time, so I rather eat more and lose the weight later!

Wat I mean is 2 kg b4 baby is out. Think I lose weight for pregnancy instead of gain.
