I've stopped swaddling after he's a week old because he doesn't like to have his hands swaddle up n yah, he doesn't startle more easily but since cannot swaddle him back then no choice. Really regret though.
I was having the same question abt feeding too. My boy has been drinking weirdly these...
My bm is decreasing as i pumped, not sure if it is because didn't latch on or because diet not as much fish as confinement period. I also pump 15 min each time, prob abt 30-40ml now. Cannot pump longer because nipple will be sore.
I'm sticking to 20min pumping now. Harder to do more frequent pumps though because mostly occupied with baby stuff and there's always something waiting to be done around the house etc. in fact, I can hardly keep to 3hr pump now, I'm usually about 4-5hrs pump so i guess that affects the volume as...
Wow, 100-200ml in 10min is a lot! I am getting only 50ml after 20min and I cannot pump too long because nipple sore. In fact, nipple is constantly sore, I think still recovering from my previous failed latching but the pumping is not helping with the soreness. Tried hand expressing but that...
Mummies, do u only pump 15 min or pump till the milk flow slowed? If pump 15min n that doesn't drain the breasts, wouldn't the milk supply be affected??
Thanks teriwinkle for sharing where you shaved your baby's hair :wesmile:
By the way mummies, any of your babies don't sleep for very longin the day? Mine sleeps like 1-1.5 hrs and will wke up. Sometimes only sleeps for 30 min, not sure if anything is wrong with him.
Pockymummy, I catered from them too for 60 pax n i had about slightly over 60 guests. Still have leftover for rice, veggies, fish, pork ribs and drumlets. The others got da ba by guests. Cupcakes n ang ku kueh finished though. Food quality wise, ok only. The meat are quite tough but it's ok LAN...
Teriwinkle, I had yellow watery poo last time, not green. Do u wan to check with doc just in case?
Did u mummies shave ur babies hair for the first month?? Where did u do it huh?
Thanks mummies for the encouragement, I'm glad that I'm not alone! I guess I really tend to take things a little hard and exact everything to fall into place perfectly. Unfortunately that doesn't always happen with the baby.
We had our full month party yesterday and i self declared my...
I gave up on the breastfeeding, yah scold me but the day we brought him go see the lactation consultant, I managed to latch him on properly. Came home after that was okay also but the last feeding before bedtime, he latched for 30min and is still hungry and my nipple is already sore and the...
went back to see the lactation consultant today at Mt Alvernia. My boy is willing to latch on but I think I didn't do it properly because it's painful everytime after latching so went back to check with them. The lactation consultant said that I have sufficient milk flow to meet his demand and...
My baby also had watery poo since last Friday. Before that was like sesame paste like what barneybaby said then last Friday don't know why suddenly became watery poo n splattered the whole diaper. Twice in a night then the next day he didn't poo whole day then following day, he had the watery...
Babyeskimo, my baby will have sips of milk dripping out from side of his mouth after feeding but not to extent of a lot. Today he did spurt out more milk so I suspect I overfed him or maybe the burping position was not comfortable for him. R u feeding your baby a lot?
