Hi meow girl , cry it out if you need to . I realize its tough , I too find it hard to juggle and my milk is still not able to meet demand , my bb milk intake go up so fast , at 4 weeks he is taking 110ml each time . I really can't meet his needs and pumping timely impossible for me, no place, no time. Sigh . Im already decided to stop bf , will do it properly for my second bb instead which will be much later . your son is Tried and crying you might need to check whether is he uncomfortable, I try on fan , if it dun work on air con, change his clothes change his diaper , wrap him again . Stay cheerful and keep talking to him .

vel.. when i pump, i can get 90-120ml each time..my son at 4 weeks also taking about 120ml already..sometimes pump out slightly more he also can finish..but i'm really not sure for latching on now..last night tried to latch on he drink 5 mins, sleep 10mins then wake up again...torture me from 4am to 7am.. end up i found myself yelling at him and wacking his buttock (hubby was not home ytd)...

i agree to pump timely is a bit tough..and actually i prefer to latch on..but really scared baby not taking enough and hate the mess when baby don't cooperate, end up this morning back to pumping again..but, don't give up breastfeeding...maybe can juz pump out a few times a day to add as supplement for baby? i find it quite a waste if have the milk supply but don't give to baby..but i understand that the routine for formula milk is so much more tempting for tired mummies...
 
i think my baby has colic because she has been crying at night around the same time. i have done all that i could, get ridwind, fei zai shui, massage, burping, pacifier, etc but it doesn't help. she will keep crying.


help!

vel..i have qn for the immunisation!! baby suppose to start immunisation at 1 month, right? where shld we go? The PD at Thomson offers an immunisation package for immunisations up to 6 months..cost near to $900 excluding the consulation fee each time..kinda feel that it's expensive..any idea if it'll be cheaper to go to polyclinic for the jabs? I found online that polyclinic charge by per jab, so i'm also not sure if it's really cheaper...

Hi meow girl poly clinic definitely will be cheaper , but I hear recent news that these immunization can be harmful too

harmful in what way?? i know if don't give baby the immunisations now..by the time baby reach primary school will be very troublesome..coz nurses will be going to school to give immunisations and if baby is missing of previous jabs, the nurses will have to follow up with what is missing or even refer baby to HPB..

if go polyclinic is juz go any day without appointment? i see that that's 5-in-1 and 6-in-1, not sure which one baby should take..or just bring to polyclinic, they will advise?

My baby also. Always want 抱抱! Once put down on bed, he will cries, especially evening to bedtime. When will the "peaceful" nights coming? At times really very frustrated that I just put leave him to cry, and ask my hubby to take care of him or I scare I will really lose my temper! I am so "angry" with the baby, cry until almost drives me to the wall! HELP!!!

anyone breast feeding baby? I'm breastfeeding but somehow my baby wants to be fed every hr or at most 1.5hr even after feeding him 30mins or more each time...sometimes it's so tiring... any advice??

Hi Meowgirl,

Is ur bb latching correctly? U will b able to feel the let-down effect on both breasts if ur bb latch on properly. Also, ur bb shd have at least 6 wet diapers per day and look contented after each feed. These are some signs that bb latches on well.

If you still feel unsure, I will suggest u to visit a lactation consultant as I visited one after my discharge from hospital and felt that I learnt more abt breastfeeding and confidence level increased as a result. :)
