yeah it's just so tiring..it's only 2 weeks n I'm tired of breastfeeding.. tired of waking up every 3hrs to feed,tired of soothing him to sleep. sigh but we'll get thru this definitely.I guess need time for adjustment.
confinement is definitely not resting time when there's so much to do.
It's not even 1 wk yet for me. only 4 days at home already so tired!! You're right abt the breastfeedg time. I feel so exhausted, I decided to just pump when baby sleeping then I put in refrigerator. Heat up during feeding time and pour inside bottle so someone else can help to feed. Now he's a bit lazy and unsure how to latch cos nipple not like the teat. But as long as he's drinking the breast milk, doesn't matter the way. As long as I can still stay sane!

I keep postponing my massage due to some reasons (dr appt etc) so only managed to have 2 days of massage altho i delivered 6 days ago. ;(

Try to pump and bottle feed at night. It's v tiring to do direct feeding all the while! My baby is alrdy confused with nipple n teat n gets angry when he tries to suckle. Makes me feel guilty.

i delivered 27feb and already completed my post natal massage. did 7 days..

As for breastfeeding, i'm feeding my son every 3 hours. Day time i bottle feed cause mother in law taking care and I can rest. Night time I breast feed easier, cause bb will suck till fall asleep. If I bottle feed must burp baby if not he get cranky and vomit and all, but when i breastfeed, he just sleep soundly.

hi Serendipity,

Just read your blog. Welcome to motherhood. Don't worry- Dylan will be fine. My girl was born pre-mature at 33 weeks. looking at your boy photo, somehow he and my girl look alike when they are born and with those feeding tube inserted thru their mouth. He will be well taken care by those nurses. Now you have to pump and pump your milk out for your baby; he will learn to latch on.

Its very disheartening to see them in tubes and tubes, taking blood everyday and on drip (for my girl). Like what you mentioned in your blog - No one but a mother will understand a mother’s heart.

JIa you okie. PLease don't get stress when the milk doesn flow. Continue to pump even if its 10ml of milk. Just give it to your boy.

Jamu massage can start after 1mth lah. Breastfeeding will make u slim even faster. I had mine after 2wks of vag delivery; was busy running to and fro to hospital to visit my girl during the visiting hours.

hey my Edd was 9/3 hehe. which hospital were u @?
I don't have engorgement prob now,in fact supply dip drastically.
usually when bb had enough,they look contented. try teasing their mouth if not moving n opening,means they're full already.

Huh? Serious. Tot about 5wks after C-section can do already. Nvr mind, Breastfeeding will slim down too cause it burn alot of calories. Hows your boy? Wanna exchange msn?

hello mummies.... updates updates.... i hve safely delivered my baby on the 13th of march at 1139am...had a slow labour.. funny cos its my 3rd and usually they say subsequent labours would be shorter and easy births.... but its not the case..... baby is big to my surprise cos all the while when im pregnant, pple complimented that my belly doesnt look big !! and said that it wld be a small baby but........ hehe he's a good 3.980kg!!! no wonder i had a hard time pushing :) so far doing and coping fine... im into mixed feeding... had a hard time too with breastfeeding... and am tired but im persistent to give the best for baby... so if i dont put him to the breast, i'll pump and give it to him thru bottle.... and boy pumping is definitely HARD WORK!!!
life definitely changed to a more hectic and busy routine... i feel guilty having less attention to give to my other 2 kids... though they are adapting well too with their baby brother... very very busy with 3 children to care for now... but i know i'll adapt somehow.... just got to be more patient and put in more sacrifice as a mother............

to all mummies, enjoy yr motherhood alright... stay strong for all challenges ahead of us.... WE CAN DO IT!! jiayo....
take care all till my next update....

hey congrats to all mummies who had just given birth.. realy must rest well.
i'm 3 weeks into my confinement but my backache still there.. think it's due to bending when carrying baby + the epidural effect. =(
