wow latch n drink hourly. tats v tiring. meaning u lie on d bed almost d whole day?Alisa:837352 said:actually to make it easier for FTM, latch on only 1 side of yr breast each time and offer the other breast the next latch. when u see baby starts to close their eyes and stop suckle for more than 6 sec, starts to disturb them. touch their hair, tickle their ear, tickle their chin etc. latch till they unlatch by themselves. for my 1st child, I followed what the nurses said, must let baby suckle both and not more than 15 mins each, end up when I switch side, my son don wan to suckle anymore and he always drink 1 hrly...

during the day I cannot cuz everything is done by myself, so after feed, burp, change diaper, put him down, around 15-30 mins later, he wan to drink again. but luckily this only last around 1-2 mths then his timing became longer.wow latch n drink hourly. tats v tiring. meaning u lie on d bed almost d whole day?
my bb takes about 30min total on each breast. burp him abt 10 min after he unlatch, n ctnue to latch. sometimes 1hr latch both sides n end up drinking additional ebm to fulfil his 120ml stomach. is pretty tiring...
Hi yenleesk..ah..I oli on aircon instead of fan!yenleesk:837300 said:Hi mums the word,
Yea I really feel frustrated n I still on confinement , no aircon but only fan. Feeling hot n frustrated to the max.
I don't mind cuddle my lo to sleep but after a while he cry...pat him...walk him ard still the same...the worst part is, my CL very frustrated too. I saw her forced my lo drink milk yet he reluctant to swallow the milk. Daytime he got no issue to drink milk using bottle, only at night...haiz...heart pain to see him cry non stop n open eyes big big in the middle of the night.
mums the word:837296 said:oh my yensleek my bb is up around that time too!
must carry cannot put her down. i'm also ftm but i cant do it alone.. so me, hubby, and mum take turns.
as i mentioned earlier, i convinced myself its just a phase.
and yes be positive..at least bb doesnt cry thru night.. only want to be cuddled those few hours.
dont be sad yea.. ftm initially all cannot handle but eventually we will learn. and try to be patient yea..the more frustrated we are, the harder it is.
hugs!! dun be too hard on urself.

Our baby DOB same date 19 oct! 3.7kg and give birth naturally, i salute u!Hi everybody.
Congratulations to all mothers who have given birth....enjoy the special bond & moments you have with ur baby.
And mums-to-be...be patient & calm, for, u're gonna see ur precious little baby real soon!
Just to share my experience
My edd was on 18/10 & I gave birth on 19/10 after having regular contractions. Went to hospital at 12midnite with cervix 3cm dilated, contractions got much intense and closer and because i didnt take any pain relief, i had the strong urge to push and baby was born at 3.42am. Labour was a fast process as I kept telling myself to keep calm so that everything will move on fast n smooth. Baby's weight is 3.7kg.
I encourage all mums to try vaginal birth as much as possible as that's the best for our body. And healing process will be a breeze too.
Enjoy motherhood everybody!
Hi Yenkeesk,Hi mummies, my bb is 9 days old. Currently I didn't direct latch him but pump out my milk. It is tough to sit there bcos I shld rest instead of sit there for pumping. My wound still painful as I went thru c-sec. But lucky no infection after my gynae checked ytd. A wk later I can remove it. Im still hesitating whether to engage postnatal massauer as I scare it will hurt my wound. Any mummies had gone thru c sec n still engage postnatal massage after 2 wks later? Look forward to your advice.
Meowmummy im in the same situation as you, my LO only 12day old but she keep getting hungry within 2-3hrs. Feeding her with bm n fm about 90-110mil.....Meowmummy:838201 said:Hi All,
I am so bz with baby, no time to come here often, but lucky got FB Oct mummies for support.
day 17 today, as of these few days, he is going thru growth spurts, he cried every 1, 1.5 or 2hr, i m going bonkers. Then he sleep in the day and wide awake at night.
Now i try to swaddle him, to let him sleep better, everyday is a challenge to me. he cried loudly when he is hungry. I feed him both breast milk and Fm. i got no time to pump out, so i just direct latch him. these 2 days, he is so hungry and impatience, after drinking my breast milk for 10mins, he start to cry. i try to sleep in the day, as my mum help to take care. I m trying to stay postive but no easy loh. Jia You!! all the mummies !
Meowmummy, how much is yr massage package? is it good?Hi Yenkeesk,
congrats! I did my post natal massage on day 15 after C-sec. just make sure your gynae check ur wound, if there is no sign on infection, u can start massage.
I did my massage on day 15, 16, 17, can see my tummy smaller. but hv to wrap the binder around the tummy to see results. so far these 3 days, she massage the wind and toxin left over in my body. i feel pain and ache all over my body. next session, day22,22,24, she will come back and try to push my womb and pelvic back into position.
