Hey mummies, I gave birth in April this year, bb going to 5 mths in a few days' time. Right from the start I was pumping exclusively cos I thought I had short nipples, imagine the first time I tried to let bb latch was on 3rd wk. After some check i dun have short nipples but stilll, dun really...

Yup, it's pregnancy that changes the breasts, not breastfeeding... Even if after delivery the mummy never breastfeed, the same changes occur.

Babe, from my experience nothing (heat pad, hot towel, cold cabbage etc) works as best as baby latching on directly to clear the blocked ducts. As what pple say, babies are the best pumps in the world! :) I pump on regular intervals but will still get blocked ducts / engorgement on and off, so...

My boy was 3.415 on exactly EDD 40 wks ...

The reason why we avoid these drinks is becos caffeine is known to prevent absorption of calcium... Depends on how strict you wanna be. Before preggy I can have iced kopi/teh-c first thing in the morn b4 reaching office... During preggy I went cold turkey. Only during once or twice in the late...

I won't say it is a must but it really helps in getting rid of the wind in our body and the water retention. I gave birth in April, during my bb shower party I managed to squeeze into one of my pre preg pants haha. Still have slight tummy then but some mummies were asking me how I did it.

I delivered in TMC in April and I believe the cost structure of delivery is more or less the same. Usually is like this: normal delivery, c-sect, emergency c-sect. E c-sect is the most exp cos they will count the charges for normal and add on all equipments used during e c-sect as 'ala carte'...

Babe, the 2-3 drops initially is expected cos the supply is not fully in yet... Continue to pump 3-4 hourly, each breast max 30 mins and in time the flow will increase. Human nature is such that whatever the flow we have is whatever the baby requires so yes, the 2-3 drops of colustrum is enough...

U can freeze wat u expressed in the hotel fridge first... Then get those cooler bags that can store items up to 12 hrs (fridge-to-go) during your journey on the plane when u going back. Feel that u shld keep the ebm, dun waste!

I find myself disgusting and gross also, esp with the hair like giam chye, haha. But one mth will pass v soon so jiayou!

can bathe but muz use the herbal wash... this type of thing dun play play, any suffering is on us... I only washed my hair with herbal wash on the 12th day and on bb shower day. Super unbearable but for the sake of myself I endured :P

yes next time dry liao then screw back... cos moisture breeds bacteria and mould..

I got a lot of things though... bought some nursing bras from autumnz, very worthwhile n cheap ! Bumwear cloth diapers for my boy, MAM bottles and a cloth wrap to bring my bb ard . :)

Dun eat those Del Monte bananas, they r known to be v v cooling. Dun take any herbal stuff or anytg extra For those pantang ones, other than not telling pple, dun do things like buy bb stuff etc, treat evtg as per normal

If I remember correctly, ML cannot be used to serve notice of resignation.

Babe, as we are breastfeeding our baby, what we eat do affect our baby. Sensitive things like seafood, raw sashimi etc and 'exotic' stuff like durian may or may not affect our babies, it depends on individual digestive system. To be safe and save us from heartache and money when smtg goes...

Babe, each method has its pros and cons but most pple will say give birth via natural will heal faster cos once the wound down there heals, basically we can give birth soon after. For c-sect, external wound takes a mth but internally it takes ard 1 year to heal. Advisable to give birth at...

I just delivered my son at TMC on Gd Friday :) Usually the bb scans, supplements etc are dependent on individual gynae's package. The 20th week detailed scan is usually not inside gynae's package. If u get the FBI/SBI member card at TMC u get discount for the scan done over there. Got discount...

After my 1st trim I dun need any folic acid anymore, gynae prescribed iron, calcium and DHA fish oil. Ate all the way till birth of my son.

I used babyplus since bb was 18 weeks, heard abt the volume issue so I will put a hankerchief in front before playing the system. When just put battery the sound is v loud, towards the end when batt is low the sound is softer, lol. Seems ok, my son passed the hearing aid test upon discharge...
