Celyn, Thanks for your advise. Can imagine the possible scenarios when I go back to work... Bound to be stressed and have days where I can only pump during lunch. Celia, if you are asked during an interview or to fill up a form with that question then it is best to tell the truth.

Innocent Devil, I think their website is down. Will try tomorrow and if it works.

How much emb do we need to store before going back to work? Is it because bb might drink more than we can pump in a day that's why we must start to store up now?

Good luck Celia!

Am very sad... have decided to throw away the milk i pumped out this morning. Was reading the instructions on how to wash & sterilise the pump and realised that hubby didn't remove the yellow valve & valve membrane from the pump body after my test pump 2 weeks ago before washing &amp...

Just realized my typo. Using Medela Harmony and not Symphony.

When I pumped out the milk I realised it is not warm. So when we warm up thawed bm, how hot do you make it?

Have put that bottle into the freezer cos not sure when I'll be using it. I plan to go to the salon to cut my hair this coming sat morning before my bb's full month celebration. Think I'll be away from home for about 3 hours. My mom will come over to look after bb for me. Most likely will...

Thanks for the tips HJ. This morning I did my very 1st pump session. Pumped from R side using the Medela Symphony after having breakfast cos bb just latched from L side before that. Managed to get 100ml prob cos for past 5 hours bb didn't latch from that side. Think I've gotten the hang of...

Mrsm, the sleepy wrap looks good! Do give your feedback after you've used it a few more times [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] can it be used to carry 3 week old in upright position facing us?

Maddie, I remember someone posted a link for the drawer type freezer which looked quite good. I think it was HJ. Maybe you pm her to ask?

Maddie, you still hardworking to pump 3-5 times a day. I don't pump at all. If my bb doesn't drink from both sides during 1 feed, I'll start from the other side for the next feed. Agree that it is very time consuming but I figure this way she will drink what she needs to feel satisfied and I...

Pumps work so differently for different people! Sigh, haven't bought my dual electric pump yet and am getting more confused with each passing day reading various feedback about the pumps. Which one to buy??!!

Adak, you can buy gripe water from NTUC. The brand is woodwards. On the bottle it says 1 - 6 months 5ml. I started giving her 2.5ml when she was 2+ weeks old only when she is feeling very uncomfortable. I use the ru yi oil as well.

Pampers and mamy poko sizing is a lot bigger than huggies. I bought pampers nb and mamy poko nb and they are way too big for my bb.

Good Morning! Considered a good night cos I went to bed around 11, bb woke up to feed at 1.30, finished at 2.40, woke up at 5.05 now feeding. Plus I used lying down sideways latch so manage to catch quite a few zzz.

GLHK, sometimes just a bit sometimes quite a large mouthful to create a mess of me herself and my bedsheets/floor. Have devised ways to reduce mess now... Like laying a big towel across my thighs and both sides of me on the bed or if I feed her elsewhere i will have a burp cloth and tissues...

GLHK, my bb is almost 3 weeks old on TBF and she regurgitates milk quite often. Sometimes it is partially digested milk sometimes milk she just drank. I understand how you feel... Bb had to work so hard to suck the milk and all that effort wasted. For me I find that if I keep her upright for...
