Hey Lingz, ur 3wk old bb only drinks 70-80ml of breastmilk? Gosh my bb 10days old in icu is drinking 70-90ml liao.. i'm pumping more to keep up with the demand.. today went to visit er and latch her 15mins each side.. after that she still ask for more.. so topped up with ebm , she drank vigoriously , about another 50ml! The nurses amsay that she always asking for more feed, if not she'll wail non stop.. and after the feed and burp, she is wide awake... and then cry again... den they have to use pacifier on her.. haiz...Been feeding my 3 wks old girl 70ml ebm every 2.5 to 3hrs until yesterday.. She kept searching for my nipple everytime I carry her and it's onli 1hr after her last feed.. Wen I jus gently rock her, she will start screaming and demand for nipple.. Wen I latch her, she is still swallowing milk cos after unlatch, her mouth is wet with sme traces of milk.. So tink mayb 70ml nt enuff for her, decided to up it to 80ml yesterday..
This morning, fed her 80ml at 840am.. Now she's at my breast latching again 1hr later.. Dunno issit cos of the foremilk hindmilk thingy? My ebm mainly foremilk so she's nt full? Or do I realli need to up it somemore to 90ml? But upping 20ml in 2 days seem scary.. Esp wen she still regurgitates milk now..
Hey reiann, in the 2 days that my baby was at home, i asked my CL to bathe her with lukewarm water and nothing else.. thats what is recommended from the classes i attended.. maybe when she gets older i'll introduce shampoo and shower gel.. i bought sebamed bubble bath and mustela shampoo liao ..and do you moms bathe your baby EVERYDAY??
what shampoo/soap do you use?

Aiyo Piglim *hugs* Your mil is really not helping ... why not ur hubby u n ur mil sit down n have a talk? To lay out the feeding rules? Sigh to hear the waste of ebm... only mothers understand how hard it is to pump out.. like donate blood like that..I feel like screaming at my mil!! Tell her I one day must latch bb once.. Tell her alrdy but Just now 11pm she quickly warm e milk... Then I made sure I woke up at 2am... N again she prepared in advance. Then she said oh let u slp... I u want next feeding is at 5am u wake up n feed him. Bloody hell.. I need to go work not enuff sleep etc she still like this... Really piss off with her. I m alrdy so tired myself n why do I need to go through this? Cos I want to let bb continue stimulate my breast n ensure that e milk flow stays... I m sooo piss I msged my hubby who is deep aslp beside me.. That If my milk supply ever decrease its all his mums fault.
She really cannot understand simple instruction. Cant believe she is so ><.
The other time tell her my ebm inside the bottle is 120 pour out wat u need n put back in e fridge. She went to pour out everything n put back the EMPTY bottle in e fridge... End up wasted my milk cos obviously bb's appetite is not 120ml.
My 9 day old boy drink abt 80ml of ebm or fm every 2hrs. I calculated his total milk intake a day about close to 1litre ? Isit too much? How abt the rest of the mummies?purpur:700962 said:My little boy 9 days old feeding on formula 60 ml jus wondering Hw abt other babies ??
