Family issue. My mil do confinement for me. N she is super anti bm. Cos Bb waking hrs not fixed, we can't warm ebm on time. She say us zek ark, torture Bb, make her wait, etc. Keep saying negative things, Bb not full, ebm not fresh, etc.
Somemore, Bb only latch 1 wk but was tough cos I have short nipples. Also, I was forced to drink some herbal thingy that benefits me but I can't latch Bb n must throw my ebm for 3days. Aft that, Bb admit hosp 2 days due to jaundice. So I ended full time pumping. I handle Bb myself most of e time, really tiring n keep missing my pump time due to Bb.
Worst thing is, mil don't allow me open fridge to keep n take ebm, can't touch water to wash my pump parts. Endured her nagging 1 full mth, really can't take it anymore.
Everyday say I so lack of sleep, for wat, she can't cook much for me to eat cos I giving bm, etc etc
Sorry for e long complain message
That's y now hope to clear my storage space n if I could help west side mummies save some $ since my items r pretty new. |

won_mummy: best not to give up on bfg, coz once ya really gave up, then the supply'd dropped real fast.. if ya wanna get back the ss, tis v v tough..
for me, I din get to bf too, coz bb din want to.. plus I din have any CL, then MIL cooks and brings over.. so if she decided to do her marketing at some faraway places, like bugis, redhill etc, my breakfast can come so so late or it'll come together with lunch..
then when I cldnt fin both the breakfast and lunch, she'd say that am not hungry, then in the later part of the confinement, proper breakfast stopped coming.. in return, I was eating prata, mac breakfast and all the chapalang stuffs.. sigh.. think it's really unhealthy, but nt much of a choice..
plus I looked aft bb on my own throughout the 4 mths of Maternity Leave, then real shagged as bb's super clingy.. so I decided to give up bfg since bb doesnt seem to like ebm and relishes on the fm.. but aft tt when bb went to infantcare and fell sick so very often, I kinda regret tt hw come I didn't persevere.. sigh.. but anw, it's v ez for them to catch stuffs like the flu bug and all at the infantcare.. so also dunno how much my ebm will help, even if bb wanted to drink.. =p |

hi all,
i'm also a jurong west mummy.
i have 2 sons, a 2-yr old and a newborn (April baby).
for PD, i used to bring my son to Dr Anne Chong at Anne Baby... now i found alternative, Dr Agnes Tay at Alpha Baby in Jurong East Central. both i find ok
rgding bfing, i agree with much_needed_Zzz... try not to give up on bfing is possible... i only bf my first son for 2.5mths. i didn't have much choice at that time cos supply was really pathetic and my son was not co-operative to suckle. he is a very impatient boy who wants milk immediately, so no patient to suckle...
for my second son, i am now still trying to bf him successfully. at the moment, i still need to supplement him with fm, but looking forward to the day when i can give him bm totally... i hope this day comes soon! |

Hihi jtho,
Same as me, my bb also dun like to latch then will grimace if I give what ever little ebm that I can get, so in the end, I gave up, kinda regret tho, partly coz the excess weight's still stuck with me and another's coz din get the experience the feel of having fed bb with my ebm..
sigh, shall try on the second child.. but worried tt my supply may be low for the second child too.. coz for my 1st bb, supply's super low.. only 60ml per day..sigh.. |

Hi All,
I have delivered an April Fool bb gal. Hee Hee... Cannot forget her birthday liao.
As I have the tendency to puke during labour, no choice, I opt for epidural. It does provide me relief and my labour pain is about 20% after the jab. I have 2 dosages of epidural til my left leg numb and cannot lift up to push the bb. Hahahhaaa... It is a unforgettable experience. |

Hi all,
I'm new here. Staying at JW Central 1 & gave birth to a boy on 23 Mar 2011 at TMC.
Thanks all for your sharings and i would like to share mine:
I was very clear I want to breastfeed my son when he's born. However, he didn't latch properly during the 3D stay at TMC and also because I was nervous and anxious. The latactionist visited me for 2 days, kept telling me to relax. Guess I just didn't hear her.
I continue trying to breastfeed my son when back and ended up with sore nipples over the 8 days period. I had no choice but to feed him formula and just kept trying whenever the soreness went away. Like some of you, I too felt sad and depressed why I am unable to breastfeed my son; how come my supply is so low; why my nipples are always sore etc. I even went to TMC Parentcraft 4 times for help because i still refused to give up. During this period, I breastfed irregularly and didn't pump out the milk (which I felt was a big mistake). TMC Parentcraft recommended that I breastfeed for max 20min per breast and then top up with supplement till my supply increases. They also kept assuring me that my son latches on proper, it's my anxiousness that is eating me up.
My son is almost 8 weeks soon and I feel my supply has decreased drastically. During the initial stages, I could manage max 50ml, now.... I'm prob at less than 10ml per breast. Though sad I just kept accumulating my milk daily. I have been drinking lots of fluid, milk, green papaya soup and taking the Fernugreek supplement. A wonderful girlfriend has even given me her excess breast milk to feed my son. Another friend kept reminding that I must persist to breastfeed and to pump after each feed (which is something I didn't do previously and I was also lazy to pump in the early days).
I now breastfeed my son 2-3times a day and the rest through formula milk. I have to say I'm lucky that my son has no issues with breast and bottle. I would like to continue breastfeeding for as long as i could, any recommendations what else I need to do? I'm keeping my fingers crossed that supply will increase soon and I don't need to rely on formula. |

Hi, I am new here. Staying at Boon Lay Drive (near rivervalley high sch). Glad to know that there are so many JW mummies.
I am 30 wks now. EDD mid Jul for my first bb.
I also hope i can bf her but still have the fear in me that I cant do it. My mom keeps telling me that she nv bf me, so likely i cant bf. Also, i have hired a CL, but i hear a lot of things about different style of CL and most of them do not encourage bf as they find it tedious n troublesome to wake up. They find bottle feed fast and easy. Haiz, i am now unsure if I can really tide through the confinement when the times comes... |

Hi Tracy,
Ur hired ur CL thru agency or open market? Did u spoken to the CL that u wish to bf? I did that before I engage her service... So no issue at all...
Mummies,
Need help here... Am looking for a day time nanny from Jul onwards. She must be pro-bf as in she wiling to warm up milk n open to the idea of bf coz I know most of the old folks think bf is a pain (short feeding interval & warm up is troublesome blah blah blah....)
Do pm me if u know any? TIA! |

Hi, I am staying at JW St 41.
My son is 10mths old (Jul 10 baby).
Great to see so many Jurong mommies here.
RE Breastfeeding....I am still bf my 10mths boy. In fact, I didn't latch on for the 1st mth as my boy don't like to latch. He prefer bottle feed. So I got no choice but to give him ebm. Luckily I got a nice confinement lady who will warm up my ebm every feed for my son. This way, I got plenty of time to rest after delivery which is the key to improving ss for bm. What I mainly do during the 1 mth confinement period is eat, pump, sleep, eat, pump, sleep.... My son only learn to latch on after my CL left. After a few "forceful" tries, he is used to my nipple. For those mommies with short nipples or sore nipples, you may want to use the nipple shield during latch on. This way, your nipples won't be sore and it will add on "length" which makes it easier for your baby to suck.
Hope my tips will help mommies on bf. |

Jurong mummies,
Anyone giving your Bb friso gold 1? I found a mum who have contacts w local supplier but she prefer to deal min 6tins per transaction. Price cfm cheaper than retail shops. But I don't want to overstock. Hoping if anyone wants we can join orders?
Note: I am not earning a single cent. Just hope to meet min order qty. It's win-win situation! Long term savings.
Pm me if you interested ya |

Hi all,
I am a west side mummy too.. Any suggestion that should I pump out and use bottle to fees my son, or should I directly feed him?
As for the first few days, I let my boy latch on, but end up with sore nipple, since then I did not let him latch on anymore.. I pump out and use bottle to feed him.
Any suggestion which is better?? |

Hi bbbliss, what a coincidence. That happened with my 1st boy too. My milk flow came much later and during the 1st mth, I had a hard time getting him latched on.
Hi Jess, I was advised by my lactation consultant to directly feed where possible as that'll boost milk supply.You may wish to pump while your sore nipples are healing but after that resolved, may try latching him again. Actually, I find that pumping and feeding is no easy feat either b/c of all the washing and time needed to pump. But cont pumping may see milk supply dwindling. Hope tis useful |

Hi Pazzio
From reading your post, I know you must be wonderful mother to do so much for your baby. Like you, I tried everything to boost my bm, from papaya soup to fenugreek (6 tablets each dose until I had diarrhea) and regular pumping, sometimes waking up in the wee of nites to pump etc until my son latched directly. My bm didn't come in until day 7 and for the first week, my parents in law would constantly asked "still no bm coming in?" which made me very depressed. So my baby had to be supplemented with formula milk from day 1 until the 6th mth when I finally stopped bf. In looking back, bf-ing was quite stressful for me but I had no regrets - I've already done my best and glad to say, while my boy was not on full bm, his immunity is also quite good (he's 1.5 yo now). I can see that you've already done a lot, maybe try resting/sleeping more b/c having a relaxed mind will also increase bm. So jiayou!! |

Hi Jess, use the nipple cream if you have sore nipples. Buy one from medela. It's good. |

Hi Joan,
Thanks for your encouragement. I'm still trying to breastfeed him 1-3times a day and increase pumping frequencies too, though I don't wake up and pump in middle of the night. Quantity hasn't increase drastically, though there's slight increase after each pump but still have to supplement with formula milk.
Like you, I will still continue to pump and see the situation when I return to work mid July. Like what my gyne said, if I still have breastmilk, then continue to let baby latch and pump; if I don't have much milk, then don't force myself. So, I will keep trying (despite the little quantity) and go with the flow. |

Hi babybunnie - good to hear that. Yes, better to b prepared now. No harm anyway so that u can stay relaxed and excitedly wait for your D-day!
Hmm for me, I had spotting on e wed morning, went to c dr tho but only 1.5cm dilated. He gave me 1 day mc n say if no contraction, I shd go bk to work next day! A bit stunt w his advice. But think back, mayb he want me to walk more to speed up e dilating.
Mild contraction pain only came on wed evening. When hit 10mins int then I got ready to admit hospital. But b4 going, I crave for kfc.... Lol... Shared a meal w hb le then admit, ard 11+pm.... Nurse check, still 1.5cm.
Real pain came ard 2am? N I deliver at 6am v happy w my bb's performance... Hehe din let mummy suffer too long. So no epi used. |

Hi, I'm also a Jurong East mummy. I delivered to a baby boy in Nov 2010. I realised that many mummies here praise Dr Toh of London Clinic. However, I beg to differ to would like to share my experience, just for your reference.
In my 3rd month of pregnancy, I developed chicken pox. It is considered abit dangerous to have chicken pox during pregnancy as there is a higher risk of having baby with abnormalities. When I consulted Dr Toh, he explained this higher risk to me and then asked me if I wanted to terminate my pregnancy. As I first time mommy, this really shocked me, especially because in the same visit, he did a scan for me and told me the baby already has a heartbeat. I was truly devastated and couldn't stop crying.
My husband suggested I go for a 2nd opinion before deciding whether to terminate the pregnancy. Hence I was referred to Dr Seetoh at Gleneagles by my GP. Dr Seetoh explained to me that the risk is only 2% higher than what normal moms would face and I should monitor as I went along and should not termniate my pregnancy. He also explained that abortions come with risk and I could end up being unable to conceive in future.
Luckily I took his advice and today, Hayden is a healthy and happy baby (keeping my fingers crossed). My pregnancy was generally fine except of occasional nausea due to morning sickness, which came back during my 3rd trimester. Generally, Dr Seetoh was also friendlier and more concerned about my wellbeing as compared to Dr Toh. (This is based on first and subsequent impressions of both doctors)
Had I listened to Dr Toh of London Clinic, I wouldn't have my precious baby today. Hence to any new mummies who might be facing a similar situation, please do not rush to abort the baby! Get a 2nd opinion! |

Hi Vivien,
Great that you have seek for a second opinion. It is true that some doctors wanted to close case fast and will suggest to end the pregnancy early. That is why we have to be more prudent when comes to choosing the right and good doctor.
Cheers! |

Patricia - Dr Tho's clinic is at jurong east. We can op to deliver at TMC or Mt A. Yes got pkg. last yr when I had my pkg for checkup, i think its abt $700. Not sure if got increase or not.
As for stitching, i cant compare cos 1st birth. but, not v painful when he doing e stitch, n i dont feel anymore pain after 1wk of my natural delivery.
Abt Dr Tho, i feel he is a man of few words kind. u ask question then he will ans. Think he also not v old thinking ppl. ie i ask abt can drink birds nest, all e old myth qns, mostly he will say no need to follow kind.except no ginseng, etc (forget wat le)...so i had an easy n carefree preg.
Mt A charges wise, not too sure leh. cos my hb settle everything. till today i din see e invoice. I stayed 3D2N, 2 bedded. only know that after medisave deduct, need to top up $300+ cash. $200+ is my cost, $100+ is bb's cost.
Vivien - glad that you seek 2nd opinion. If I m you, i will do the same too. I guess diff doc got diff style/thinking/practice ba. ie some gynae prefers c-ser, some will prefer natural if possible.
I would say, choosing gynae is all abt our comfy level/feel ba. Some feels certain gynae more friendly, but some might find e friendly de too loh soh. For my selection is cos my friends recommend me, n e clinic is near my house. Dr Tho's clinic has all e machines needed. 2D,3D, e hear heartbeat de. So I only go Mt A once which is during my D-day. Find him very experienced. I would say I am a satisfied 'customer'. Will find him again when I have my no. 2 |

Hi Flowerie123,
Whenever you hear the plane fly, make sure you check on your baby to make sure he is not scared. To further make sure, I will advise you to buy a beanbag to be place on your chest of the baby when he sleep. This will prevent him from jerking up when he is scared. I did that to my boy last year |

hmm, for the first 3mths, i latch everytime my bb wants to drink (despite nagging from MIL that bb is not full, insist to supplement with FM, but i REJECT!!)
after each latch, i will pump for another 20-30min to let the body to provide more milk.
my supply was stable after 4mth and my fridge is full of ebm but since bb is latching so milk bath for bb!
i still continue to pump abt 4x a day till my boy is 9mth old..then subsquently, lesser pump and finally after his 1st birthday, i retired the pump and let my boy latch only..
i think my boy shy lor, after we came back from taipei in may, he dont want to latch le..
and nw, he's on FM..
im kinda sad as my boy reject me breast initially..but well, bo bian lor...
so far, my boy's health is good, i think BF plays a part..
imptly, drink more fluid..
usually, i will drink a cup of warm drink before bb latch..it helps...try it. |
