Since I'm a working mum and wanted to have a supply of frozen BM, i latch on one side and pump on the other coz while latching, the other side leaks and it "breaks" my heart to see the milk flow freely. But if i am a SAHM, i definitely won't express coz it's really troublesome!! need to wash and...

Hi melanie3.. last June i went on a self-drive trip to Australia with my husband and our 21-mth-old son... It was a wonderful experience! After travelling around the countryside, we don't really like the city itself.. to be honest, nothing much to do at Melbourne.. More things to do and see at...

It really depends on u. If ur are going to use the EBM immediately then just store in avent milk bottle. But if u intend to freeze it, storage bags might be better.

I second what ast0212 said.. Just prepare urself mentally, do a lot of reading, ask friends who managed to BF exclusively and always remember the concept of demand and supply.

When you travel without a baby, customs may or may not allow you to carry EBM on flight and gel packs are not allowed either. What I did was to pack a small cooler box (those camping type) and put two 1L gel packs. Daiso sells gel packs up to 1L. Since I was very kiasu, I even lined it with...

I've travelled many times with my toddler ever since he's 3 mths. When he was younger it was a smooth flight. When he became more active, I started to pack new toys and snack. Since he's still considered an infant, I always book the bassinet seats so if he can't sit still, I'll let him...

From what I know, most music school let children play instrument from age of 5. But you can start to enrol your son in music classes for toddlers.

Actually it depends on your child's intake and the weather. When I went to HKG during winter, 3/4 tin of 800g was not enough. He drank a lot. Thankfully I still have supply of BM so just BF him since the fourth day. I was not comfortable buying any milk powder in HKG. But I think buying milk...

Whenever I travel, I'll always buy a 5-litre distilled or drinking water. Don't give babies mineral water and I don't trust overseas tap water coz our babies' tummies might not be used to to the minerals found in tap water. So just go to the nearest 7-11 and buy either distilled or drinking...

As long as there's demand, the supply will always be there. So since ur demand is low, ur supply is going down as well. As a working mum, I noticed that after he turned 13 months, my supply dropped drastically. Mainly due to his solids intake but I am still able to nurse him. Babies are still...

I would only give what I can. To me, my immediate family comes first. My priority and responsibility is towards my family. Not in laws or my own parents. Your in laws should be grateful that your hubby still give them monthly allowance. Times are tougher now. We need to think about our little...

To me it sounds normal. Ur baby might be going through growth spurt. I remember having to feed my son almost every hour during that period of time and it lasted almost a week. Anyway, NB babies don't drink a lot and since BM is easily digested, they get hungry often. I don't really know how to...

My boy doesn't use pillow too since NB. Now he's 16 mths. To prevent flathead I'd make sure the baby sleeps on both sides. Sometimes, my arm is his pillow. :p

Prob growth spurt. It happened to me for almost a week. I couldn't do anything and having a good rest was almost impossible! Eventually I learnt to bf while lying down. What I did was to let my son latch as long as he wants. It helped to boost my supply as well.

What Littlekk said is true. The gender of the baby depends on ur husband's sperm. Men have X and Y chromosomes while female only has X. I've watched a documentary that timing also plays a part. If u make love during ur most fertile period, you might get a boy coz by then ur eggs are released and...

I'm using medela freestyle as well. If u want better suction, some mummies claimed PISA is better. If u buy frm US, it's cheaper but no local warranty and u need to use a travel adapter.

My son had breastmilk jaundice and it goes on for almost 2 months. He was fully BF even when we was warded for jaundice. His level was above 300 in the first week but it slowly went down to below 200 but I had to make weekly trips to poly to take his blood test.. I was adamant and only wanted my...

Try letting him sip from a cup or use a straw.

I faced the same problem so what I did was to give him plain water frm his water bottle or use a straw.

Greenish poo might be a result of too much iron intake.. To me it shouldn't be a problem coz ur baby is on solids too and that adds on to the amount of iron found in FM.
