phythia, ya lo... it makes us feel that all the hard work is worthwhile n we're giving the best that we could for the kid... the best milk yet the most simple to obtain - breastmilk hip hip hooray for all bf mummis

qarezma, i just started bf in full for 2 mths... previously my boy was supplemented wif fm... i can't say exclusively like syd coz hb n mil give plain n glucose water... i couldn't bear to b direct show or say coz it'll mean rude... but if i tell hb he'll either get sandwich or quarrel wif me... we din buy any house b4 married so wat else can i do? i agreed to move in coz i'm timid... my mind runs wild... will think like "GHOST~!!" if hear something weird now i would agree to have my own space so i can run the household like u all eventho i'm not used to doing houseworks or juggling between them n bb

qarezma, phythia, u guys... both of ur sons r abt the same age i think so u two can click well u're lucky ur hb willing to help... since i'm married to a traditional family house chores r for women

qarezma, i'm at skudai while ijnek is at permas

phythia, u r one lucky woman... ur mum's just downstairs...

ijnek, the closest one now which is my hb is not supporting n the next closest ones r either across the border or south china sea then the next is u guys i feel like i have no life >.<"

phythia, oh mine isn't that strict... sometimes fil cooks too... but those simple snacks la like pisang goreng... but left the aftermath for mil hb isn't those traditional chinaman either... guess i'm still pretty lucky... my mum's across the south china sea so i dun wanna make her worry by complaining to her... they've been worrying abt me for so long... it's time not to let them worry... at least not too much...

sigh wish that i have a house to move out... dun mind the cooking n chores... just want baby to grow up healthy...

ijnek, mum's using mobile broadband n it's quite slow... so kenot video cam... chit chat oso difficult coz our timing is different... so here i am u not welcome me?

i just notice there's green veins visible to the eye on both of my breasts... shold i panic?

phythia, qarezma's rite... mum has her own 'kaki' ma... stretch mark? only visible now?

ijnek, sometimes too much complaining n grumbling annoy

sbux, did u try? it worked?

my boy has been a little cranky these days... wouldn't nap much... wants to play or b held... if i leave him alone to play by himself it'll only last abt 5mins... even if i put him on my lap while sitting on the floor n not looking at him, he'll start to kick n hit could it b the starbucks coffee i had last sun? another thing is since i've started bf he'll sweat when latch on... only stop sweating when he doze off...anyone?

phythia, qarezma, ya i was thinking the same... sometimes he breaks into cold sweat regardless latching on or not... scary le... btw if he feeds thru bottle lying down is it ok for him? won't the water flow into his lungs? his face is facing the ceiling...

sbux, dun worry... if ur baby is his/her usual self then u dun have to worry... my boy sometimes poo everyday sometimes 3 times a day sometimes big poo after a few days he dun any sign of uneasiness or anything... his record of not pooing goes up to 10+ days

phythia, i think her baby is abt 2-3 mo if i'm not mistaken...

anyone experienced baby cold sweat when not latching/feeding? my boy will sweat n his legs n arms r cold when touched abt the time he was born every nite (he was born at nite)... any explanation??

phythia, u're so rite

sbux, dun worry too much of the poo thing la... ur baby is perfectly fine... if me, i would find a paed that i could trust n ask him/her to explain it to ur hb... here's something for u... but i think u've seen it in mb forum

just a milestone... my boy learned how to roll to his rite n now he rolls whenever he got the chance~! now i wanna guide him to roll on his left

syd, i'm lucky coz he only knows how to roll from his back to tummy then stop there he still haven't learn how to roll from tummy to back err... fitness? physiology? hmmm... i think my prob is i keep spending~! i dun feel like i can keep the household accounts well

Doraemon11, dun b so sad... at first i'm like u... feel supply so little... pump only abt 10-20ml both sides... i felt like giving up... but then i got lots of supports n managed to bf until today... perhaps u can do a few more things like let ur girl latch on directly on ur breast to bf n when u pump, get something to stimulate ur hormones like clothes, photos of ur girl, recalling memories of her laugh, etc... dun worry... if u feel like giving up, tok to us here... we're rite here dun give up yet~! gambateh~!

Doraemon11, dun stress urself ya... just let it come to u... judging from sbux's comment, u're doing great~! u'll b just fine~! dun let other ppl's comment discourage u... been there, done that... "ur supply is not enuf for baby" "baby's not full" "u must give baby formula supplement" etc... dun let these words discourage u... u're the baby's mum... u're doing wat every mum do... just remember u're giving the best milk to ur girl... keep it up n hope to c more relaxed n cheerful mum from u~! gambateh~!

Doraemon11, u're lucky that ur hb n mil supports u u need all that support... that way u'll feel "yes i can"... dun worry so much... at first i was thinking the same... baby keep crying... mayb i'm not producing enuf... but now i'm happy that baby is happy n healthy mayb u can keep a graph of her growth then u'll know if u're providing enuf... i always feel excited when i know that my boy gain weight during the monthly check ups so now i keep a graph chart of his weight n length to keep myself motivated if u're too tired rest n give bb fm or ebm... u need rest too to produce otherwise drink more water n eat eat eat~! u can't produce if u dun eat too
