I also wake up to pump in the middle of the night when my baby is taking the EBM I pumped in the day. So that extra pump will go straight into freezer. I usually pump at 2am and 5am if I don't pversleep. I latch about 2 times from 6am to 11am. I think midnite/early morning pumps yield the best results. Try taking oats mummies. I think it really helps and even the milk looks thicker. Besides oats are good in weight control ... Better than eating white bread [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
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 operating the manual pump. When I did a test pump 2 weeks ago I think my ss wasn't stable yet and my nipples were quite sore so it was quite a painful and unproductive session.

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 have to feed bb once during this time. Anyone used a bottle warmer to heat up the milk?

Gbh, yup. I will just change the insert while she waits. Rarely she will fart with a bit of poo. But I usually stick a tissue on her butt so not so bad. If pee then chao kao lor. So far that hasn't happened to me yet. She pee when my hb change her until she is lying in pee. Then he will low morale n don't want to change her diaper for a while.
Is it u latch then pump sure ss low one. If I pump after latch can yield 10-20ml only. So I don't bother. If pump means don't latch. Latch then don't pump. Now 3 hour can get abt 130ml.

Woofy,
I'm ordering from Natalie thru this website:
http://sacredtea.blogspot.com/
She's staying in Hougang so I can do self-collection and COD. She's doing some promo for Mother's day so the usual price of $38 for 6.5oz of Sacred Tea now cost $36 with free Normal postage. With Reg post, just top up $2.25 irregardless of any packets purchased if I'm not wrong. Maybe u can check with her ba..
oh btw, if u want to do self-collection, u can also pick up at her working place near Isetan Orchard. You see if your DH is free to help u pick up say you want to buy..

gbh, i have the same prob as u.. i've been latching my boy most of the times.. but when i pumped, at most i get 60ml.. very demoralising too.. when my boy latched, i have to feed him round the clock, super tiring.. sometimes he gets so fussy, cl have to top up with fm. my cl says my boy can drink 90ml of fm already.. like that how to meet his demand..
and when u gals pump after latching, do u sterilize the pump after each use? or just wash? if pump after each latch, have to sterilize many times le.. remember someone mentioned about putting the pump in the fridge instead? then do u wash first before u put in the fridge?

Orangey,
How do you judge whether your supply is low? 120 seems quite ok leh..How much can someone with normal ss pump per session?

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 & sterilising.
The silver lining... going to thaw it in the fridge and use it to try out the bottle warmer later.

KDD,
100ml is average lah though I do get 120ml but my boy can feed every 1.5hrs and he takes about 80ml -100ml so you know lah, I pump he drinks so not enough to store in the freezer. If I Can up my SS, I can start to pack my freezer with EBM which I can pass it to the IFC to thaw and warm up for his feeds. DH and I not really keen to give FM lah since BM has more immunity boost to baby.

Good luck Celia. Ganbate!!! Hope to hear good news from you soon yeh!
anyone knows if moms in mind still have promo of 30% off for their nursing bras? i'm intending to get some nursing bras so that when going bk work can wear it and easier for pumping..
btw, when we go bk to work, how many times should we pump at work? how to wash and sterilize pumps efficiently in the office?

Orangey,
I know what u mean, I also need to build up a stash for my bb's caregiver after I go back to work.
Guess I am not so strict so I kind of 'play cheat' by giving bb FM for night feeds. That help me build up a small stash and also allow us to sleep better through the night. I felt this helps to boost my ss..my 3 am pump can sometimes yield 150 ml..we just think of this as getting the best of both world la, but also the shit of both world lar, cos gotta deal with constipation/colic etc..
SYZ,
old dun go new dun come lar, look open bit.. u will build up ur stash again
Celia,
gd luck!

But, only for that once [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/sad.gif] If only my 3hr pump yields 200ml! Hopefully my sacred tea will help to double!

http://www.momsbestfeed.com/2008/12/sacred-tea-for-nursing-mothers-100.html
Seriously, I'm so desperate to up my SS that I'm willing to try almost anything. Even if you tell me eating frog skin will yield I might just try! Muauauahaha..

finally got a laptop to use then can log in to post. can't believe that i'm so suay loh, got 3 laptop at home and all are down. now using fil's one.
syzygy6,
how much bm to store depends on how much baby is taking and how much you can produce when you go back to work loh. as baby grows, definitely their intake will be more. when you are going back to work, whether you have time to pump and if your supply meets baby's intake does play a part in how much to store.
most cases, as we go back to work our supply will drop a bit or a lot depend on stress level and if you have the time to regularly pump like now. so to prepare for all these, some mummies started to store as soon as they can. you must also be prepare that in case, you really can't tbf then be open to give fm so as not to stress yourself over supply issue which end up causing it to drop further.

Hi Cass,
I used Chilli padi that serves nonya buffet. V nice curry, Mee siam and otak. U can consider.
Hi Innocent Devil,
Freshly pumped milk can last 4hrs at room temp. Any longer and u need to keep in a cold pack. U can go to Daiso to buy those reuseable ice packs (small size one) and pack them in a thermo bag.
Hi Ladies,
Tell u all a 'smelly' story that happened on last sat. I went shopping w bb and hb and maid at marina square. It was time for my pumping session so I went to the nursing room to do so. In less than 5mins, I ran out with my nursing cover and freestyle pump still attached to my boobs!!! I was in this nursing room that was WARM and both dustbins in the room was OVERFLOWING with used diapers. Can you imagine the smell????? I sit there and tried to breathe thru my mouth, but really buah tahan liao, so used nursing cover to cover myself and ran out and rushed to the ladies toilet which was MUCH cleaner than the nursing room. Yucky!!!!

Hi Celia,
Hmm... it is a tricky question. If you say u are single, then u cannot explain your future disappearing acts over your darling son? Any ladies here who works in HR can advise Celia?
Hmm... regarding pay, if you think it is abit low, perhaps u can still go for other interviews while u still have time? Or does this job has future pay rise opportunity in terms of promotion or v attractive year-end bonuses?
