ive been bottle-feeding my girl with EBM for past 5 wks and sometimes im tempted to give up too. it's so tiring to pump & wash the pump accessories every 3 hours. i feel like a robot. im also considering mixing FM into breast milk for her night feed to last her longer thru the night. but i will...

the pork seller in the market also told my mom that pig liver will stop breastmilk production. but ive been eating alot of mushrooms. =(

congrats to MummyK & LittleWorm, and others that i may have missed out! :001_302: seems like Sept is a girlish month, soooo many girls! :tlaugh:

my mini electric plus so far so good. but i read somewhere that it is designed for occasional use, while im using mine every 3-4 hours daily for my girl's feeding. now counting down to the day that it will break down from being overworked. =( my SIL had been using hers for more than 6 mths...

congrats on the arrival of your baby girl! :Dancing_wub: even with all the help of my family, i already feel like breaking down. so i know how much more harder it is for you to be taking care of the baby by yourself. hang in there! *hugs. since your girl is too impatient to latch on, i guess...

haha i see, thanks!! :tlaugh:

oh dear, any mom's heart will break upon hearing such news of her baby. be strong okie? your girl will be fine! hope the miracle happens. =)

thanks for the info! :tlaugh: i saw from the website that there's the alcohol and alcohol-free version, which one are you taking? or does the TMC pharmacy only carry the alcoholic version? and did you really experience a spike in breastmilk supply after you started on it?

congrats littleworm!! :Dancing_wub: i managed to latch her on for every feeding during the hospital stay. i was still feeling amazed my colostrum came in so quickly and that i was able to provide for her. it was only 1.5 days later that she didnt pass any urine at all that my PD told me most...

i see. how about the time gap btwn taking the fenugreek and breastfeeding?

by the way, i'd like to check with the breastfeeding mommies who are supplementing with fenugreek, where did you get it and any special things to note? like maybe cannot consume it directly before breastfeeding. TIA!

my gynae also told me to count if baby has 10 movements in a day, but i didnt really take his words. cos my girl can get pretty active during some parts of the day, and can have 10 movements in 15 mins. but to me that dont mean she is safe. what if she has no movement for the next 23 hrs 45 mins...

woo~ and i tot im the only one with different-sized breasts! haha. ive been starting her off on the smaller side too, but dont seem to have much effect. the body takes some time to adjust i guess. pls dont let this be a permanent situation.....

oh dear, then i better start sourcing for one now!

i see! thanks alot. =) by the way did you have to book the massage lady very much in advance? im thinking whether they are very hot in demand, cos if so then i will have to start calling them up now. my confinement is ending in 1.5 wks. :Dancing_wub:

my baby's skin was peeling a little during the days we had to sun her due to jaundice. i would apply a very thin layer of johnson's baby lotion on the peeling areas. after a few applications the peeling would stop. i hadnt tried bathing my baby personally, my mil had been doing it so far. she...

woo that would be really nice of you! thanks! :Dancing_wub:

hey mrs eg, i decided to delay the postnatal massage till after confinement cos not being able to bathe and wash away the oil on the body after the massage sounds really uncomfortable. in fact the oil gave my sis-in-law rashes. any idea if the massage will be less effective if i delay till then...

the diaper covers are not too breathable i guess cos after all the layer is waterproof. but i usually dont put them on too tightly on my girl so that there's still some space here and there for some air circulation. and to me the changing mat is pretty essential if she's wearing cloth diapers...

hey nightingale! how to know if the shields are too big/small for us? and i limit my pumping sessions to 10 mins as my LC suggested, to avoid overtiring our nipples. and indeed, when i observe the flow coming to a stop, it will be the 10th min. :elvis: i got amazingly accurate breasts, haha...
