I had leakage problem with the original shields; went to the Medela service centre and purchased larger shields. What they do is they will measure your nipple and areola size to determine the proper size for you - turns out that I needed 2 different sizes! hahaha~!
Hi LittleWorm. Sorry, but my LC didn't say anything about Swing, so I can't give much comment about it. But I guess if u feel comfortable using it and the milk flow is ok, then it should be fine.
Sometimes when I pump in 2 hours, I don't get a lot of milk either. Well. I guess so long as we try our best to provide for our little ones, we would have done our part as parent. Most importantly, the babies get enough nutrients, then it should be fine.
Yup... Hope she is getting enuf!!! And grow up heathily!!!
DD Jaine skin peel becos of the photo light. According to my doc, she said is ok, just need to apply cream after bath, skin will renew when she turn 1mth. My gal cried alot too during bath time. My confinement nanny turn her tummy toward the water instead holding her up facing. This holding calm her down. Hope it help.

Then they arrange a masseur for mei 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.
mommymin, that time I booked my confinement lady 2 months in advance. She told me usually people book months in advance. So I think it's better to start calling now, especially those popular ones.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.
oh dear, then i better start sourcing for one now!
Oh where is the center think I need to customize mine as well keep leaking!
Here's the address!
My massage lady also said the earlier massage the better. Mrs eg. Massage is shiok but troublesome coz of the oil n the bind makes breastfeeding mah fan. I also like u, as much as I enjoy the massage I also worried abt bb while massaging. Heee
No problem thanks! I should b able to know if it's good soon
I have booked a massage lady but I think she's really expensive... $75/hr for 10 days. How much are u paying? One thing good is she's not using Malay herbs but aromatherapy oil for binding which is what I prefer
Mine charges $400 for 7 sessions but she uses Malay herbs.
which hospital are you delivering at? Let's jiayou together ok!!
Ya i feel for u too...
Yes it will be good to sterilise before using. Alternatively can use boiling water to rinse them out - that was how our parents used to do it for our bottles when we were babies anyway. But I really don't think it's worth stressing out over this right now, just concentrate on your labour and enjoy the process! Your hubby or family members can always do the necessary for you if you really need the pumps over the next day or two - don't hesitate to ask for help!
Also check with your hospital if they can provide breast pumps for your use - they clean/sterilise everything so no need to worry about that - anyway you'd probably appreciate having someone explain to you how to do it for the first time so the nurses can help you. Mine is a Javanese lady in her fifties, also uses aromatherapy oil for massage and binding, no herbs. I'm paying $50 per session which lasts slightly over an hour - am having 7 sessions with her (2 more days to go). Now still wearing my bind - ahh getting a bit itchy!
Jia you LittleWorm and MummyK! Have a smooth and safe delivery!!Hi LittleWorm, I had blood show this afternoon and my gynea ask me to admit tomorrow morning too!which hospital are you delivering at? Let's jiayou together ok!!
