    does drink too much coffee effect the chance of conceive

    Yup. I read that too much caffeine could lead to early miscarriage. Best to stick to not more than a cup or two a day.

    Shld i buy breast pumps before or after birth?

    One other consideration that you may have is the length of warranty. If you buy before you deliver, then the warranty period is "shortened" since you won't likely be using it till the baby is born.

    Lump

    If its a blocked duct (sounds like it), try massaging it away. Use your palms and press against it. U got to press really hard. Use your other hand to add pressure if needed. Massage the surrounding areas as well. Try pressing and expressing at the same time. Might take a while to clear it. If...

    Methods to stop breastfeeding

    Or apply cabbage like crazy? I overheard this being discussed the day I was at the LC's clinic. She mentioned something like applying regularly until the milk disappears. Sounds weird, but the cabbage treatment really works to relieve engorgement. Makes sense for it to help with weaning as well.

    Baby pulling himself up in crib

    Yah lor my son also the same! Likes to pull himself up and play "stand-stand". He is now groping his way around the rails and moving full circles around the bed. But now the situation is a little better. He has learnt how to sit down instead of just free-falling. Agreed the bumpers aren't...

    Baby pulling himself up in crib

    Hi Think my 7mo baby boy is learning to stand. He now likes to hold onto the sides of the crib and pull himself up to standing position. And when he gets tired (usually quite fast), he will just let go, fall, and hit his head on the sides. I am worried that he might hurt himself at night when...

    No other sizes for softfit i think. But you can buy a personal fit (the hard shields) in other sizes.

    HELP!! Medela Freestyle - Need to be sterilized?

    Yup. The personal fit shields are okay for use with Freestyle. Its written in the booklet. Plus the softfit only comes in medium size. So if you need any other sizes, personal fit provides the options. I think the instructions said that its okay to boil the softfits. I did that for my first...

    HELP!! Medela Freestyle - Need to be sterilized?

    I got confused by the instructions in the booklet too. And then I came across this article which got me even more confused about whether can steam sterilize or not: Diva - Steamed up over baby items. I knew I would steam sterilize before each use so I switched almost immediately to the personal...

    after back to work, how to handle EBM?

    Uh... about the sterilize part... You may want to read this before buying a used pump: Used Breast Pumps - Breastfeeding Online The article may sound a little paranoid but its good information to know before you purchase rather then later. Agree with dujuanrosa. Breastfeeding is not cheap. Add...

    HELP!! Medela Freestyle - Need to be sterilized?

    I was also worried about the discolouring/out of shape thingy so I bought a set of Medela personal fit shields (the hard kind). Apart from the tubes, everything else goes into my Pigeon sterilizer. Do you also sterilize the tubes?

    Baby allergic to formula?

    Hi My baby is 7 months old and was exclusively breast fed. We are trying to introduce him to formula, but each time he drinks it, he breaks out into rashes. His mouth turns red, arms turn red, legs and belly also. Could he be allergic to the formula? Or perhaps because we are using the...

    Pls Advice: Avent or Medela breastpumps? ?(Electric)

    I'm now using Freestyle. Excellent pump. Also got the US version. What I like about it is the battery pack. This means that if my son does not want to drink milk in the morning, I can pump discreetly at the back of the car while my hubby drives us. In that way I can save 1 pump session at...

    Breastshields-Wrong Size?

    Think if you need to change the shield, you can always buy PersonalFit shields from most outlets that carry Medela products. I've seen it at Mothercare and Mums&Babes. More info here: Breastfeeding Information Guide - Medela

    What is the diff btw Childcare and Playgroup

    I believe "childcare" is the general term used to described a school for infants and toddlers. And "playgroup" is the name of the class that babies between 18 months and 2-3 years will attend. Afterwhich they will attend nursery and kindergarten.
