  1. hello girls... My BB also suffers from cold... i let him use the 21st Century Children's vaporBalm... he currently 5months old, been using it since he was 2months old... his cold was on n off... he will get his cold when we switched on aircon less than 23celcius at nite.. so now been sleeping wif 25celcius.... i have read the content of the vaporBalm, it does NOT contain camphor... just use abit to rub his chest n back... i do that when after his bath n bedtime... also, i mix some drops of Eucalyptus Oil in his bath water ... it helps.. :)
  2. I was abit depressed during my confinement when my hubby asked his mum to be my CL.... really regretted.... like you said, u cannot scold or answer back ur MIL... dun wan to wake up at nite to feed bb... i need to do all that... i didn't rest that well... nowadays my back bit ache for not resting well during my confinement... i can confirmed wif u that i would never asked my MIL to be my CL for my next pregnancy....
  3. Weight Gained during pregnancy = 13kg Weight lost during 1st 2 weeks of confinement = 14kg ( due to restricted food ) Weight is increasing now, gained 2-3kg since bb's full month... I ate n drank quite alot each time after breast pumping session.... i can eat two serves of chicken rice n stil not 100% full when breastfeeding... ppl said breastfeeding can loss weight but me gained weight as always feels hungry.... Started work this week... hoping i can loss more kg as i cannot simply go eat, must follow lunch break hrs.... unlike during maternity leave, eat non-stop at home...
  4. Yes, you can do that provided they have never been frozen before. Cool yes, but not frozen Thank fluene for ur tip!! :) Helped me clear my query..
  5. janicelly, I'm refering to my EBM that already put in the fridge waiting for bb's feed... my MIL n parent discourage me doing that as they thought my bb's colic is due to the 'cold' EBM given to him as maybe BM are not warm enough.... my BB was borned with 4.3kg, 5kg at his first month n now he is 6.2kg in his second month, a little bit above the normal range... :) i will see tonite whether will he be awake for his feed... Sheep, If i'm getting a warmer, i need to bring the warmer to the bb sitter as he spend most of his time drinking his EMB with bb sitter, when he is at home wif me, he only drinks at 5pm, then 7pm n sleep throughout the nite till the next morning 5am... after that he will be at bb sitter's place... he usually drinks two session of FM n one session of BM wif me... i'm thinking to give bb BM till he is 3-4months old... as we are planning to have a second bb next yr n hoping to be born before CNY 2011... Girls, I have another question... Can I mix two different batch of EBM together to make up to the volume? i.e I pumped BM at 5pm wif 2oz.... then at 8pm, I mix another 1oz of EBM to the previous EBM (5pm's batch) to make up to 3oz and bring it over to BB sitter the next day?
  6. Starryeye, My MIL n parent also discourage me in giving BM... yes, maybe that's why i felt abit depress n stress in giving bb BM.. they always said FM is enough, no need give BM, somemore when warming up BM using warm water can give bb colic etc as maybe BM is not warm enough before give bb drink.... Janicelly, yes, i pump at nite too, average every 3 hours i pump my breast... so i manage to bring around 6-7 bottles of 3oz to bb sitter the next day.... i pump my breast alternately to make sure i dried up both breast before going back to sleep.... Girls, Just these 3 nites, i noticed my bb's sleeping pattern had changed.... he just turned 2 months old 3days ago... he sleeps around 8pm++ after his milk drinking session n then never wakes up until 4am-6am for his next feed... before that, he sleeps around 8pm+, then wakes up around 1am for his next feed, after the 1am+session, he would wake up every 1.5hrs to be fed... THEN last nite, he slept around 7pm without drinking any milk until midnite when i wake up for my midnite breast pumping session, he stil sound asleep.. so i decided to wake him up to feed him... but he doesn't look like he is hungry ( but his last fed is at 5pm+ after coming back frm his bb sitter), but i stil fed him 3oz of BM... then he fell back to sleep until this morning 6am... is this normal for him not feeling hungry for that long? or is he just being a grown up baby, doesn't need that much of feeding anymore.... any idea??
  7. Islandgal, oh ur bb also like mine ah? i tot I latch him incorrectly till he kick his legs away frm me... I tried latched him last nite again, he cries n kick away frm me, so i tot he is full but when my hubby fed him wif FM using bottle, he is happily sucking away 3oz... is this sign of hating breastfeeding using latch method? wow, 50oz/day!!?? That's alot! haha really envy, how u do with bb only coming back to u during weekends? i pump till one breast is nearly dried, then change to another breast n back to the first breast lor, i massage while pumping to make sure 360 degreee is 'loose'... yes, i always felt hungry n thirsty... i ate n drank alot, sometimes i curi minum cola too... ;p
  8. sheep, i seldom latch bb now... as he doesn't like being latch.. and he doesn't have the patience to latch that long... usually after 10mins, he would start wriggling n cries.. so i ended give him BM using milk bottle... that's why my milk supply not alot... fluene, Thanx for ur advice, i will try this week :)
  9. Thanx bearbear for u reply... i guess ur colleague has the same prb as me.. now i also everyday pump like crazy just to have enough supply to bring over to bb sitter the next day.. i really envy mothers that hav so much milk supply!! haha
  10. Hey fluene, U can try taking fenugreek herb... can buy at GNC... u can see the effect of increasing milk supply quite fast....
  11. Hello ladies, I need some advices on how to stock up ur milk supply in ur freezer before going back to work? Currently I'm able to produce 2.5-4oz of BM each pumping session of 3 hrs gap... but usually my bb is able to finish my supply daily... so how can I stock up some of my supplies in the freezer when my supplies also cannot fulfil bb's hunger DAILY as I need to give him FM too..... Also, I'm on Fenugreek too to increase my milk supply, previously my milk supply lagi pathetic, only able to produce 2-2.5oz each pumping session... so currently I'm able to produce 3oz x 8 pumping session = 24oz/day, is that enough/normal? As i read some other thread, most mothers are able to produce 5-8oz per pumping session.... i find mine very pathetic... hahha oh for ur info, my bb now is 2months old, he drank 3oz each time in 1.5hrs.. that's why my supply aren't enough for him. n need give him FM.. also i dun direct latch as he is wif bb sitter now...

  13. meiteoh, I give bb breastfeeding first.. then around an hr time, i feed him some glucose water lor.. no need to drink alot, just abit also can...
  14. Hi... my bb also jaundiced when he is borned.... he was 207 upon discharged then went up to 213 the next day... my colleague suggested to let bb drink glucose powder which helps to reduce the jaundice... i tried straight away that day.... after 4 doses of glucose drink, bb's jaundice dropped to 157 in 1.5days n then to 119 on his last blood test.... if u guys really worry, can try the glucose drink... just abit n mix wif plain water ....
