Mrsm,
Fitti jus like Dryers good on saving for morning use onli, I dun find it good for nite use.
Adak,
Use ru yi oil, my boy a lot of wind, I use tat every after bath n before bed sometimes midniite or afternoon I also very hardworking n apply. All the wind come out as fart now he seldom fart liao. I cn understand Hw u feel when ur bb got wind and unable to slp well.
Take note of the way u feed him dun let him 'drink' wind, those bubbles in bottle also dun let him finish sometimes nite time feed we might b eye closing n didn't see... hmm 1 more thing believe most mummies hav a bottle of plain water after each feed for bb, if cold liao also dun drink make some effort to change. I did all tis n follow now my bb better, initially I Duno wat happen n he keep crying I give pacifier, apply rash cream carry him everything no use.

Lucida: I am interested in the PISA. I got the freestyle but it doesn't seem to clear my milk completely so I end up with lumpy breasts quite often. According to TMC parentcraft that is a problem common to the Freestyle [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] Let me discuss with my HB and get back to you.

mommies, hw long do u usually pump?
kdd
i was doing 30mins pumps 4-6 times a day. But if i am in a hurry like bb cry and i got no help, then i put 15-20 mins. But most of the time i try to do 30mins at least 5 times a day.
Its hw long during each pump session plus the number of pumps a day both can help i believe.

Hi Ming and KDD,
I uses the freestyle and loves it's lightweight and portability. I usually pump around 20mins directly on 'good' days, ie breast is co-operative and I hv 2-3 letdown within the 20mins range. On 'bad' days, my breasts seem to dry up after 10mins of pumping and I will rest for 1-2mins, then do singular pump on each breast for 5mins each, hoping for a letdown.

i use freestyle too ... pump 15 mins 7 times a day. latch 2 times a day. so far so good. yield from freestyle is not bad and really handsfree. only problem is softfit breastshield gets distorted quite easily and needs replacement. going to try changing to personalfit breastshields. hope it gets better.
vic_ma hope your girl is better now ...

oh yes switching back to phase 1 gets me more frequent letdowns. can try that and it helps alot.
Wa u all pump so much. I pump 3-5 time a day, usually at night and at most once in the day if she doesn't latch both sides. Day time latch on demand since we both mostly at home. Tho is very time consuming cos she can take up to 45 min to latch. Wondering if I shd bottle feed ebm n pump in day as well. I can pump more than i bottle feed her but also reluctant to build up frozen ss due to freezer constraints. Consider to get deep freezer. Anyone got any recommendation?
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 don't have to worry about storage, heating up to correct temp etc... Plus I'm the lazy type who dislikes washing and sterilizing etc...

Philips warehouse sale coming up. 28 to 30 May. Two sources - march thread and kiasu parents.com. So if you are looking for avent stuff, can make use of this opportunity.
I'm using freestyle now but I feel it doesn't empty at all. And I actually developed mastitis. In unusual places too according to doc and the masseur. I'm still using it regularly to pump out and twice a way I'll massage to try removing the blockages. The milk I've wasted. Sigh.
Vic ma
I hope the baby's all right now. I'm also always worrying if. Y boy's got fever. He feels warmish to me most of the time after confinement and I'll take his temp, ask hubby to feel etc. And it's normal. Apparently I'm the abnormal one! Now that we are going Perth, I'm worried whether he'll be able to take the flight, the weather and the new environment. Sigh. And i'm praying hard mastitis does come back during the trip. The headaches I've developed were horrible. Double sigh.
Sorry to post so much negative early in the morning. Just need a place to vent out. I've been keeping so much to myself since delivery that I feel like exploding now. Reading the various threads helps so much though. I don't feel like an alien anymore. It gets depressing when someone close asked why I still have tummy 2 days post delivery! And she's a mother of 3. To her, we are supposed to lose all weight immediately! Then these days she kept asking if I have enough milk! Or maybe I don't have. I'm like the lone one insisting on some BM.

yes .. i bought a drawer freezer to store my milk stash. I can take a picture later and try to load it ... i bought it from a clementi shop at about $470?
my boy also takes 45 mins to latch. that's why i decided to latch about 2-3 times in the day and pump the rest and let my hubby or MIL bottle feed him instead. He can finish the whole bottle in less than 10 mins. So that saves alot of time for me to do other things.
celia .. must apply barrier cream to the area underneath his balls area too ... use water and cotton wool to clean instead of wipes. will recover faster.
and also i was using Avent bottles but baby keep gulping air instead cos he doesnt seem to accept the teat well. i changed to NUK recently and it's so much better. what bottles are you mummies using?

i think avent bottles are good but somehow cos its wide neck ... my baby doesnt like to open so wide and always try to "latch" the teat. so he cant take the whole avent teat properly and ends up crying and gulping air.
as for NUK, the teat is smaller in size and i think he likes the teat shape like a mother nipple during latching and so he's more calm. i'm not a fan of bpa free products because i think with proper sterilisation and frequent change of bottles, it is quite safe.
gonna keep my avent bottles and try on him when he's older...

the milk bags are in the range of 120ml to 150ml. I usually store each bag from each pump and i don't mix pumps. i think if you store the milk bags flat lying down, each drawer can store up to 40 bags.
i'm not the cow .. you are still the queen lol! it's very tiring to keep storing ... wonder if i can still keep up to it once i go back to work. thankfully only half days onli and so i can still come back and latch and pump. hope to breastfeed at least 6 mths ... if not longer.

Hi Celia,
With regard to insurance planning for your child, the critical areas to cover first are (a) comprehensive hospitalisation policy, (b) personal accident policy, (c) critical illness coverage and (d) life policy. Endowment/Savings plans will come after protection coverage is done.
i've an essential information pack which you may find useful in looking at what are the areas of coverage required. it also consists of general information on child care costs and education fees in future. have a good read-> http://www.mediafire.com/?wmio1yozfgl

Will discuss with hb whether we have space for it or not. And also whether to spend another $400plus. After stop bf then what u all do with the fridge?

maddie,
chest freezer is cheaper than the drawer type that hj have. mine cost less than $300.
after you stop bf and not using the freezer liao, you can sell it off to other mummies who need it. actually, i intend to sell mine off too. before i can sell it off i realise that i'm preggy again. hahhah..... so keep it till now loh.
vic ma,
i already started using the chest freezer since its sitting there anyway. then won't mix bm with the food in my fridge freezer. i also got tray to put bm before putting them into chest freezer.
hj,
good to know that you have started giving fbm to your baby before i can tip you. i do know of some mummies who keep storing fbm and refuse to give them to their baby unless daily output is not enough. they like to give baby fresh bm instead of fbm. end up having problem feeding fbm cos their baby don't like the taste.

Adak, think CL is lazy. Overfeed him so that bb can sleep longer. Don't give in to her. U're employer, just give her instruction what is right amt.
My CL used to tell me new born no need regular feeding at night. We told her we want to feed new born every 3 hrs. Simply their excuse to sleep more at night. Lucky never listen to her or else bb will be starved to dead!
