gayle,
did the gynae explained what your condition is? cos i had bacterial infection before and the GP i visited gave me anti-bacterial oral medication and cream. he said it's cos some of my milk ducts are not cleared completed and caused some blockage, breeding bacteria. and that it's best i continue to latch so that the ducts can be cleared. the medicine he gave me is ok for bb to take. meanwhile, i continue pump after some feeds to make sure the breasts are emptied.

ruixuan,

gayle: so sorry to hear that.
.but good thing u know this early, so u can at least take some precautions.
must keep pumping otherwise u'll have engorgement and supply drop.
and sometimes in times like this u have no choice that u must give bb formula. I know must not be easy for u because I also never give misaki formula since she was born.
but dont feel bad okay. if u still have some ebm in the fridge than even better.
take care and get well soon.

thanks everyone,
doc confirm is thrush so have to take anti-biotics..he even say he give me 'strong-strong' type (his own words) to help me clear completely. this doc like abit weird. at first when i came in i was explaining my nipple v pain, he say "then u come see me?" huh? then see who? i blur leh...who am i supposed to see if just nipple pain, lactation consultant? they can prescrib meds meh? then i added, ", i also have abit more discharge"...then he check n agree say is thrush.
next time i will take the effort to go see my own gynae even if its further. this new one, appt at 10am, 1130am then go in. crazy..i peep at the appt book..like so many names on the same timeslot! stupid.
so is it only issues regarding 'down there' then see gynae?? i thought gynae deal with all womens issues? can someone enlighten me?
ya i read up, thrush is easily spread n sometimes persistant, just pray mine goes away fast. so i guess i have to throw the milk, if not will just be a vicious cycle n go on n on. at first i thot can still breastfeed, but its the anti-biotics that make me have to stop. the thought of throwing away a whole weeks worth of milk is sooo sayang!
i wonder how evie will take to FM...any brands to recommend? i really have no clue, the ones i have at home is for 0-6 mths i bought last time for emergency. now gotta buy 6mths+ milk right?
really feel a little pek chek that i'm forced to stop breastfeeding after trying so hard in the beginning.
its not just the feeding, i think her whole routine will be off. actually she not much feeding routine to begin with, just feed whenever she want. FM how to man...imagine i have to make a bottle everytime she want a bit milk. eee..actually hor...breastfeeding is v convenient. at night i dunno how man...so used to walking to her room, pop her on the boob, feed then back to sleep.
n think she also like to comfort suckle, had such a hard time putting her to nap just now. me too used to using my boob to make her ZZZ.
looks like the pump n i will get aquainted v well again...

Hi Ruixuan
David was born on 15 Aug. He will be exactly 6 mths this coming Sun. He was 9.5kg last week, hence I estimate that he will be about 9.6kg when he turns 6 mths!
Hi Gayle
Sorry to hear that you have thrush. Can understand your frustration and 'panic' because I'm also TBF / latching on so it can be quite a throw off now that you cannot latch on now.. then must think about FM and all. My boy is also being very used to being nursed to sleep so I can understand what you are going through. But hang in there.. continue to express and your supply should be ok. I'm sure she'll gladly return to your boob once you've been cleared

shirley,
I bought the CB calendula cream fr the organiser's last BP. I find it's gd for rashes, esp my bb's skin is sensitive.
Ya heard the sun lotion should be gd.
If it's the same BP organiser we're talking abt, then I think this round the shipping charges and forex rate might be abit higher. But I think end up still cheaper than Watsons.
I knw Watsons is selling the Calendula cream for $29.90 while I got mine fr vone and the BP organiser abt $17.50/tub.
gayle,
Must been damn nasty affair to hv thrush. Tho I don't breastfeed now, I can understand how you feel too. Do get well soon w the meds.
As for which brand of FM, u hv to trial and error. Most of us here give Enfalac. There're other brands like Nestle NAN, Similac, Friso, Mamil etc. Each baby is different so u hv to let Evie take and see how she reacts to it. Maybe u can get the 400g tin first to try... Think Giant should also sell in 400g tins instd of the standard 900g.

rata,
what is BGJ class? is it something like shichida methods?
gayle,
Sorry about your plight. I think you don't have to buy a new can lah, since you are going to continue with BF once the thrust is cleared. can use back the same can provided that the milk powder is ok, ie, stored properly. As for switching, I think you need to first give your FBM to your bb first, then you have to mix the FBM with some FM so she won't reject the FM. try to gauge how much FBM you have and try to mix until you can start latching her again. I'm just a little worried that she may not want to take the bottle and the FBM if she is very used to latching on...
Ruixuan,
<clap>!!!
Thanks so much for the good table!
Paperdebris,
Any medication given to your gal? i wanna try it for Jerold...
Hashisan,
Is Misaki better? Did she manage to sleep ok last nite? very scared when kids are suffering from cough and cold and flu...
oh yes, Nini, Braiden is very cute in his jumperoo! He can be a good spoke person for the Jumperoo! I'm tempted to get one too for Jerold...

Rona,
She saw twice GP and once PD.... tried illadin and a steroid nose drop but i didn't use much on her.
She seems better with sinuphlegm and ventolin which the PD gave her.
