Breastfeed direct is the best! The baby is the best pump to adjust for supply. Since you have been bfg over a year, you are doing great! Unless you are talking about going out for half a day and need to leave bb with a sitter and you need milk - then you get an Avent manual pump. It is the least...

If the milk is 'contaminated' with saliva you can't keep it for next feed. You can either drink it yourself (close eyes and gulp! :001_302:) or feed to your other kids if you have them. If your hubby is game, give it to him. When I had my first child, my dogs would take the left over...

Have 3 kids. Total breastfed for 4.5 years and still going, since #3 is coming only 2 mth old. In between, tandem nursed #2 and #1 for 1 year, and a mini-break of 3 months when #2 decided that he did not want to suckle anymore in my 2nd trimester during 3rd pregnancy.

Like Jo said, you need to arm yourself with info for a vbac. A lot of mental preparation is needed. It won't occur naturally. I had a vbac. Between #2 and #1, they are 26 mths apart. Give me natural birth anytime. Bb is more alert, my recovery is faster, In fact, I was up and about the very...

I freeze excess only in milk bags. - Saves space in the freezer. I store in refrigerator for daily feeds. - Refrigerated milk is better than frozen ones. I store in feed sized bottles, so that there will be no wastage. At any one time, there will only be 4-5 bottles for milk - just nice for the day.

It varies from women to women. Some of my girlfrens had their menses the very next month after giving birth despite totally breastfeeding the baby. General rule, the more you nurse the baby, especially during the first 6months, when bb is on total breastfeeding, mensus will be delayed -again...

If you doc says you are fine you probably are. I found that when I was agitated, dehydrated or stressed, such abnormalities are more frequent. They don't tell preggies to relax for nothing. :) So take it easy, drink more water, relax as much as possible.

Yup! The theory is true. Think more there are quite a few articles documenting it. Male sperms are Sprinters and Females one marathoners. I was very in-tuned with my body as I was practising the FAM -(Fertility Awareness Method) All my 3 kids are right on track! #1, sex before and after...

I don't tell until a 'need to basis'. Have had one miscarriage and at that time I wanted to grieve alone. I had some well-meaning consolations from friends/relatives/collegues that were pretty insensitive (don't blame them, not everyone has gone through it before). Hence, subsequent pregnancies...

He looks much better in person! Tall, well-proportioned...*swoon* Professionally, he is very good also lah!! Very good bedside manners.

Not all are useful. Sadly, a lot of them are not. Another one you might want to look at is from Four Trimesters. Not your average kind of prenatal class.

Hi Jo, Rebecca ***waves wildly*** Somehow I like male OB/GYN better. Personally, I find that they don't have the "I have been there" airs and more sensitive towards you. Yes, Paul Tseng is very gentle on the pap smear...the most gentle one I've been to! No discomfort at all!

For #1, not happy. Did not get the birth I wanted, felt robbed and cheated of the whole birthing process. Think I was in mild depression. For #2, very happy. Ate well, observe only what I wanted to observe in traditional confinement. Showered and washed my hair when I couldn't tahan. Both...
