Can bathe baby before umbilical cord stump drops?? I read on Internet that usually bathe afterwards.

Congrats ryuichi!!!! No epidural!! So brave and only 6 hrs after induce so ur labour was short? How heavy is your boy??

I read from Singapore motherhood forum that most mummies tried the fenugreek from GNC, some say good, some say no diff, effects depend on individual's response. They also recommended green life from guardian and some bought from US website because cheaper. Hope this helps. Gambatei breastfeeding mummies!

I'm having backache these two days at the side and also harder to sleep nowadays. Constant Braxton hicks at night also...

Hi all, I gave birth to my baby boy yesterday after being induced for 6 hours. It was a normal delivery without epidural, but I use laughing gas ( and it didn't make me laugh definitely) :p I was almost give up since the baby's head couldn't come out after half an hour of pushing. But my gynae did the episiotomy and 2 nurses massage my tummy very hard until my precious one came to this world :) phew such an amazing experience! Now I breast feed my baby totally and hope there will be no problem with it. Anyone taking pain killer after the delivery? Will it be affect your baby?

I took fenugreek from Gnc.. It does increase my milk.. Today is my 6th day and I can pump 50ml..

Anyway, baby can bath once they discharge from hospital... But you need to make sure that u dry the baby umbilical cord.

Wobblymummy, faster get the massage lady to come and help u massage your blocked ducts. Dun let it worsen if that both u and baby will be very xin gu..

Nipples are sore from latching too much? I feel the same way when I only pumped twice a day on the first 2 days after discharge. Made me so tired I wanna give up.

Haha! Takes time to learn how to bathe your baby. I'm already getting the hang of it and she doesn't cry when I bathe her.

Yup, can bathe baby before umbilical cord stump drops. The nurses will teach you how, so no worries.

Wobblymummy.. Is it a must for us to take up jamu massage? And how much does 10 sessions cost? Do you have any idea whether do they have 5 sessions only? Oh ya!! And is it they come to our house to massage? =)
