Hi tannie,
I'm also facing some problem.... I have been trying to bf my boy, went to lactation consultant they say i have short nipple, will have to really work with it at this moment i am still struggling to nurse my boy direct to my breast. My CL keep asking me to latch my boy when he cry, I really dont know how to explain to her abt the bf thingy.
As i mention i have short nipple, nw i am pumping every 2-3 hrs to store the milk in the fridge so that it can allow me to have some time slowly to latch him on, i think is going to be difficult.... coz now is feeding baby with bottles as worried when seeing CL using spoon to feed my boy, did not wait for my boy to sip the milk/water from the spoon, eventually just pour it into his mouth. I was so scared that she will choked my boy...
When i try to feed my boy using cup from the hospital, as taught by lactation consultant, CL will say :" you have to pour in if not how he drink?"
I did ask the consultant, She say" mostly CL do not know how to cup feed, and they didnt know they will choke the baby" After hearing this i was so scared, every nw and then i will try to feed myself or watch her feed.
These few days i just cant control myself, i will just cry when i think of taking care of baby and hubby look stress when see me cry, also try to calm me down ask me to relax,..... no one is giving me the boost of confidence.... Hubby will worred baby being overfed, not being burp, having heat rash, asking if baby been sun bath as baby jaundice level have not drop since discharge from hospital.... also worried abt baby vomit after meal.. my boy tends to vomit the milk out when lying on the bed after CL burp him, does this mean CL did not wait for him to burp and put him down to slp?
Mummies do you all feed your little want with water when they hicups?
Do you all use cloth diaper? i have bought cloth diaper for my boy to use. I have told my CL to use it in the day and night can use the disposable one coz if not the cloth diaper will have to change every 2-3hrs.
My CL follow instruction for the 1st 2 day and later on she said" cloth diaper very hot cause baby toi have redness in the buttock"
w she only using in the morning after bath and change 1 insert then later whole day on disposable!!!!
I super pek chek ask her" why not using the cloth diaper" CL say" coz cloth diaper will have a marking at the back after wearing, so she use the disposable" I was like what the... i told CL to show me the line next time when changing... she ignore treated as never heard me...
Somemore feeding time for baby should be a bt 3 -4 hrs apart... My CL happy happy see my boy cry 2 hrs feed then later 3-4 hrs feed, sometime baby not crying 5 hrs feed...... i wanna go crazy!!! only till yesterday see paediatrician test for jaundice, never drop still rasied by little. my hubby instructed CL to feed interval of 3 hrs. Yesterday feed at 2pm later 4.30pm feed again, later 7pm wanted to feed again my hubby told CL to feed at 8pm. CL reply" I thought you say 3 hrs must feed" I tell CL u feed her at 2 and the 4 .30pm she argue back say baby was fed at 1pm, i told her i leave the house for my check up at 2pm and that was the time baby was feeding!!
Wah piang!!! I want to faint..... dont know whether is because of all this thing, today the herbal bath water she boiled almost burned me, the water use to be warm and nice, today i scoop and pour over my body is was burning.... i very scare.. wonder will CL treated my boy with the same water temperature, coz morning bathing i can hear my boy crying....
