She's almost 11kg now so I want to get one that's going to last her till she's 20kg or at least thereabouts. Went to kiddy palace just now and saw one from britax, going for $199. Wondering if it's a worthwhile investment. At least it feels more sturdy. =)

Hihi! My girl is now 14 months old but she's rather big and i highly suspect my combi stroller might not be able to take her weight. I wanna buy an upright stroller but dunno which to buy. So just wanna check what you guys have bought and whether you would recommend for me to get one too. Thanks!

Well, in the first week, my supply was only measured by teaspoon. One time, I managed to get one teaspoon after 1 hours of squeezing. But guess what? My husband spilt it. Funnily, I wasn't angry, although I can see he was gonna cry liao. I just told him, "Can't cry over spilt milk." Dunno where...

Not necessarily. With manual pump, you can control how much pressure and how fast or slow you want to pump. With some of the electric pumps, you can do that as well. I was using the Medela Pump In Style earlier and as it didn't have the speed option, I just set the pressure to the minimum. Then...

Keep pumping. I've ever stayed at the pump for 1 hour just to get the amount I wanted. Must pump every 2 hours (counting from the time you finished pumping previously). Uddermummy's suggestion actually works. My cousin, who is breastfeeding her son one month older than my daughter, helped me...

I'm pumping and giving my daughter EBM as my nipples were short and the staff at hospital that I gave birth in was not helpful in helping me with this problem. So far I would supplement with occasional FM (like about 2-3 times per week) as she sleeps longer on FM. Actually, I felt a little...

Sigh... ya lor... just nice all the nurses that i've asked are kns lor... :nah:

Hey huiyin87! You really sound extremely stressed. I was also this way in the first month. In fact, there were times when I had to pray to get rid of thoughts to "get rid" of my baby. It will always come like why I cannot directly latch her, I'm useless, she is rejecting me, etc. One good...

Hey instantoats! Your comments really hit the nail on its head! The thing is, our society has drifted so far away from breastfeeding that it no longer becomes natural to us. I remember thinking that all mothers will know how to breastfeed and would have done so especially in my grandmothers'...

Actually their service is not bad la... It's just my experience with them "helping" me to breastfeed was more depressing and distressing than helpful. :embarrassed: Maybe coz they din quite explain their actions and that I didn't know what to expect. I have more experience and knowledge now...

I also felt guilty coz at first, i gave her some FM too as I din have enough milk. Later, I realised that I was already trying my best so I shouldn't beat myself over it. Furthermore, my intention is to give her my best and if I'm too stressed out, it affects me and baby too. So, as long as you...

I know what you mean... My life was like eat, sleep, take care of baby, pump milk (and repeat). But nowadays, it's getting better. Jiayou!! It willl get better. :Dancing_tongue:

Actually i heard good comments abt TMC before i delivered there too. It wasn't until I was there that made me think otherwise, especially when it came to trying out breastfeeding. If not for the fact that the TMC management seems to be minimising my experience, I wouldn't post my experience...

Well, I have heard that babies can adjust after that but mothers must be a bit more hard hearted to give only breast and no bottle lor... Me, too heart pain for her and myself. But now I create more work for myself coz have to pump out regularly lor... My mum told me not to pump if I not free...

P/S: That's the day of my wedding anniversary! :Dancing_tongue:

Heh... Thank you. Although most people say she looks like her father... Maybe he looks like a girl??? :err:

Oh dear... Hope you are recovering... Actually, babies can go without any milk for maximum 1 week. When starting breastfeeding, this period is actually a good time for mother and baby to learn how to adjust to one another. The liquid that comes out initially is colostrum and babies only need a...

Yep I will! :Dancing_wub:

fioncess: I'd recommend that you write out your birth plan. It's what you want to do in the event of emergencies and what you want (in case you're too weak, painful, etc to make the decision). Give the birth plan to the staff when you are admitted into hospital. Create your own birth plan |...

dun dare to try liao... Everytime I try to latch her on, she struggles and cries a lot. Always feel very rejected whenever she does that. So, to save my own sanity and hers, i just express for her lor... Anyway, now sort of got rhythm liao so also lazy to change. :shyxxx: Now that I know what...
