But my baby is sleeping like rock until I switch the PIS off. The room becomes so quiet that he wakes up. :tlaugh:
Hey, I tried to turn on the PIS by starting with the lowest suction power and very slowly increase it. This way, the noise level will not be too sudden for your bb to accept.haha...
i m sick of the noise le..
everytime wen wana pump must look at my son see if he is half awake or what if not wen he kana shock he will start carying witht he eyes close..n if wanna comfort him down have to wake up the whole family..cz he will cry like mad stil witht he eyes close!!!:wong1:

I always use the max suction power coz anything less than that, seems no suction at all.

huh?realli..cz of the breast shield?Huh? Can't switch off? Maybe u should bring it to Toh Guan for inspection or repair?
:O I neo why your nipple gets longer and longer coz of your breast shield. The PIS comes with standard breast shield size which is medium size. I go and bought a small size breast shield coz my nipple also gets longer n longer. The shield is too big for us.
The first few years at KKH or at paragon do sells small size breast shield.
Heehee... got got.. manual pump no noise but pump like %^$&#%^ :tlaugh:
For me, when I use the standard breast shield that comes when you purchase the pump set, my nipple get longer and then my areola gets suck into the funnel and can see my whole areola moving and then pain pain and not much milk. So, I read the instruction book and figure out I should get a smaller breast shield. Anyway, after standard size, the next smallest size is small size, so lucky it is ok for me else dun neo where to find even smaller shield. Does your areola gets suck out as well? If it does, then the breast shield is too big for you.huh?realli..cz of the breast shield?
how to know what size i fit?cant ask me go there open up n let them measure rite:shyxxx:...lol..i dono le..i tho it's normal for your nipple to bcum longer n ugly then before..noe what..there was one times my mil saw me bf n say..wow y ur nipple like that?-_-"" i dono how to reply..so peisei man!!my aunty is on total bf n no pumping hor..n her nipples also veri long..aiyaya..will it b alrite aft we stop bf?
PS:manual pump?lol..wen i just start bf..n u noe..not much milk rite..then have to wakeup every 2hr to pump..then 1 times can onli pump 1 side then another side leak heart pain..what i did was ask my hubby pump another side with another pump..lol..we end up fighting cz he pump n the milk keep leaking cz never latch properly..n the CL tho i going crazy cz keep pumpin every2hr..haa..come to tink abt it now..it's funny..n hell yeah it's @#$@#$%$ tired!!!
yaya..the whole nipple went into it..For me, when I use the standard breast shield that comes when you purchase the pump set, my nipple get longer and then my areola gets suck into the funnel and can see my whole areola moving and then pain pain and not much milk.

My nipple is very short to begin with lor. didn't neo that my nipple is short until I started bfing and the lactaction nurse told me it is quite short but lucky my bb still can suckle on it. Now, come to think about it, nipple seems to have grow a bit longer but hor, it is slanted to one side leh coz of the pumping lor. Dun neo why when i pump, nipple tend to goes side way even though I position the shield properly, now got slanted nipples. Look kind of funny. Heehee... Not sure our nipples will goes back to normal or not leh. But since DH not complaining, so I never mind also lah. :shyxxx:
Haha.. Wow... u bery hardworking. Me pump once every 3 hours.. and man, tired is the word man. I feel so fed-up of pumping after one mth that I throw the $%^$^E pump on the floor. Pump for one mth still not much milk. So frustrated. Then I latch instead loh and took frengnuuk, after 2 weeks, end up with oversupply. So have to pump before latching else flow too fast. end up double job lah. Also fed-up. Hahahaha...
Now bb is 8 mths. Still pumping and latching. Man... dun neo when can retired.
:Oyaya..the whole nipple went into it..
i tho it's normal?i dont feel pain just can feel that my milk rushing out..sometimes if the milk flow too fast can feel like the tip of the nipples bursting..-_-"..as for side way..yap me too abit le..i dono y..as for my nipple short or long i dono cz wen the nurse place the bb down then he just grap n never let go..cz he have waited for more then 5hr for his 1st feed..whahaha...then i got two stone on my chest cant sleep at all n my doc ask me not to pump so i use HAND!!!!$#@#$@$!!!!n end up i wanna cry cz too painfull liao..n all the milk wasted lo..then dono y went reach home no more swallon breast le..then i use hand squeeze lo...wen my hand tired ask my hubby hand help lo..those r the worst nitemare man!!!then i start to pump aft 1week..:wong14:manual pump...then aft 4 week den i go get a ele pump...i reli feel like givin up..lucky my hubby stand by me..sometimes he will ask y my nipple so diff i will say it's for your son!!lol..ur bb big le..mine still 3 mth old..going to get his injection this tue..ai..so i keep drinking tonic to prevent him from falling ill...so your bb aft the 3rd mth injection got fever like that?i m veri kancheong wan..if he sick or what i tink i will go :wong7:....
ai..i just type a compo n i n being sign out...arr...:O
Hmm.. I am not expect either so I also cannot say if it is normal or not wor. Wow.. milk rushing out, your flow must be super forceful wor. Or maybe you might want to go get a small size breastshield to try? But cost abt $20plus, so might be a waste if it is not due to the breastshield. See if you willing to risk $20+.
If breasts feel like stone means engorgement liao. Your doctor must have no knowlege on Bfing coz engorge must pump else milk supply will decrease badly wor. I started pumping on my 3rd day coz also become stone. Pain sia... mu hubby helps to message my breast coz milk kena stuck. Pump and pump also no much milk. Super depressed rite?
I started with an electric pump but the valva spoiled after 2 weeks and suction affected and I didn't realise it for another 2 weeks. Got so depressed coz wondering what happen, milk output went down.
:O 3 mths only. Still a long way to go. VEry tough period for you. Everyday hoping my bb quickly grow bigger. Now much better except need to cope with a hyper curious bb who want to look see everything and not very interested in drinking his milk now. Very hard to nurse.
My bb so far never had fever after his injection except after his rotavirus, he developed vomiting symptoms. Keep vomiting for a day or 2, no appetite to drink his milk. Lucky only need to take 2 times. The 2nd time not so serious.
Yea.. If bb sick, will be super kan cheong. I think I also will :wong7: if my bb sick. So far, he haven't been sick yet. TOUCH WOOD sia.
But my PD says if most bb who choose to take 5in1 jab very seldom fever, only those that choose 6in1 jab that fever. So, you dun worry too much. Stand by some those fever patch and take his temperature every 3-4 hours.
So good, my DH won't suck for me leh. :shyxxx:ai..i just type a compo n i n being sign out...arr...
have to retype again..:wong17:

So good, my DH won't suck for me leh. :shyxxx:
Same lor... My mil keeps asking me to give FM coz says my breastmilk not nutrious, FM better. I want to tell her if I eat well, then breastmilk nutrieious lah, coz if never cook tonic for me, how can I eat well leh. But I never say coz I dun want her to cook and cook on purpose like I force her to and later complain to others I am a very demanding and fussy dil. I dun want to own her anything lah. Anyway, breastmilk got more than 200+ vitamins and FM only 30+...
Now, me working, so my mil looking after bb with the help of a maid. I initially have the same feeling as you during my maternity leave, but when i started working and my maid came, I become very uneasy when my maid is the one handling my bb. very angry coz my mil refuses to hand over the housework and cooking to the maid, and instead mil do houseworka nd cooking and maid look after bb. But I didn;t hire maid to look after bb wor. SO, whenever I came home after work, I got this very pek chep feeling when I saw maid looking after bb coz few times catch maid handle baby very rough.
Now better, maid now doing hosuework and cooking after a hard time of adjustment. But I hates it when mil bring bb go out marketing or shopping when I am working coz then I know mil will allow all sort of strangers to touch and carry bb. I feel bb is my private property loh. How can anyhow let strangers touch bb? I feel very unhappy but I cannot like shout or scold my mil coz DH dun like it. So, I keep quiet loh.
Sigh...bbut at least now better than maid look after bb all the time coz got one time bb keeps loking out for maid and smile happily at maid. I feel like :wong14:
Hey, why all mil the same. I also ask mil not to let bb watch TV but everyday, I catch mil carrying bb on her lap and sitting in front of the TV together. Keep telling her not to do that she just move from the nearest sofa she is sitting to another further sofa but still watching TV. So fed-up leh.
