Meltie excessive crying is common if bb is colicky.. Worse thing is that theyre already have wind and yet crying still add more wind to their tum tum... There are mummies that are really blessed and not experiencing the crying situation as badly as with mums that has colicky bb.. But still the happiness and the joy that our bb gives to us is not lesser nor greater with other mummies right? Lol just think positively.. To be honest i dont have much problem regarding bb's routine and crying but i dont have or cant breastfeed so it is slightly making me frustrated.. You on the other hand have the ability to breastfeed cos you re producing milk so it isnt really that bad.. There are mummies who doesnt have probs bout bb's routine etc.. But has problems on a diff thing.. Lol to make it short mummies cant have it all!!! And it wont be forever i tell you.. But for now patience and more patience! :)

are you giving ebm? Maybe the bb prefers bottle as they dont really have to work/suck hard for the milk unlike latching.. That's what happened to me :-( bb refused to latch cos got used to feeding bottle, my supply went really low end up disheartened and quit bf'ing.. Dont wanna latch its ok as long as still drinking bm, dont get frustrated and affect your supply, keep pumping or give the bb teats that are more similar like to human nipple..

Meltie, it's really tough on u to handle colicky baby.. Jiayou!!!

Ya, like what lizzy said, every mother has different set of problems. I'm trying to keep up with breastfeeding, as my girl don't latch anymore, it's hard to increase supply. Unable to pump regularly as need to handle her fussiness also result in low supply. Now only can give her whatever I can pump out. Seeing her finishing the bottle of breastmilk will make me have mixed feeling, happy that i can provide her the best yet my supply is not keeping up with her demand. The journey of pumping, sterilizing and washing of bottles and breast pump is really not as easy as I thought.

Justamom if your bb cannot handle neck by him/herself better wait or use insert.. Unless you will always support with one hand (which a bit troublesome). Cos eventhough bb below or above 12lbs if neck isnt strong it is advisable to use insert.. Bb's head have to be above of the edge (the nape must be the one leaning the edge not the head) not totaly inside or else bb will slouch and not good for their back. Dont force the legs to be split to hang on both ends, what i do is i put bb on a half split position one leg a bit bend and the other one spread wide. It makes a good and advisable position for the bb but not much stress in both legs.. Have to change/reverse the position of the leg time to time for blood circulation and for it not leave mark on bb's leg too.

Hi lizzy.... So funny bruce lee.... Lol!!!

I hv been feeding since discharge! She has been direct latching n btl feeding with no confusion.. But i stop latching her that much ever since im sick.. Only once everynight to minimise everychance of passing germs to her... But grad she slept thru e night...

I kinda miss it... Though i know 1 day bb will stop latching.. Mil told me both her kids just simply stop latching wo any reason... Then ended she fed them formula.. Since last time no such thing as freezing etc

I pump round e clock to keep up e supply still need 1 feed of fm at least but still can give ebm... Im glad.. Used to b very envy of y mummies but every1is diff... I did all i could for bb can le
