some babies suck real hard...my wife's nipple was 'injured' in the course of 'work' by my little 1s.

phythia, oh... i those WFTM who bf their babies... i couldn't make it coz my boy still wakes up at nite... i felt tired... hb felt my tiredness too...

ijnek, mayb can train them not to suck so hard?

It is tiring...but after awhile..got used to it liao..till now my son wakes up at night..but recently this week...he just wants to stick to my breast...dunno why...i get up..he also wakes up..

give pacifier also he don't want...

not now...but when they were jus 1-2 mths old....how to train?...
but my wife didn't give, she didn't let them cling to them and express it out for them instead

phythia, mayb he wants some assurance? my boy oso the same... when i wake up he oso wake up...

ijnek, my boy used to suck hard but now he sucks better... or at least i dun feel pain anymore... usually when he cries after i tried everything, i give him the breast...

now you know understand why men love boobs

Hahahha!! Yeah..good one Syd G!

Assurance for sure coz he wants my booby! Tried giving him the pacifier..don't want!

Usually, after he has fallen asleep..he will detach from my breast...then I can go out to watch tv..or go sayang sayang with hubby...but this week..he only wants to be latched on..I tried to take my nipple out..he also wake up..sigh..

syd, then baby girl le?

phtyhia, sometimes i have that problem too... he already sleep but still latched on... but sometimes he'll let go by himself... sometimes i break the latch when he's half asleep then cry for more sometimes he's guai, continue sleep... babies...

btw, if ebm is freezer -> fridge -> room, how long can it lasts? if i put in bottle warmer, how long can i keep?

if not warmed up...should be about 4-6 hrs but if already warmed..best consumed within 4 hrs.

Hmmm..you planning to bring your breastmilk in bottle when you go out?

phythia, ya lo... wat to do? hb won't allow me bf in public...

Hehehehehe....same as my hubby...but i don't care

I bought this nursing shawl from babybump maternity...so can cover when i bf..

I used to bring out the bm in bottle too..then i malas lar...why need to carry all these when you just need your boobs

Alternatively, go to shopping malls that have nursing rooms - the curve, Isetan KLCC & Gardens, Jusco, 1Utama...

for breastfeeding in public..it takes awhile for you to get used to..i only got used to it about few months back..after i bought the nursing shawl..should have bought it earlier . It's quite big enough to cover - coz i'm now bf a toddler...if baby..lagi can cover properly...

Hi guys. My baby is one month old and she is taking about 70% BM and the rest are fm.

Was wondering whether taking cold or icy drinks would result in baby getting stomach upset and gassy? CL said it would and ask me to stop my ice and cold drinks intake.

FYI, I am latching her in nice a day and the rest are ebm/fm in a bottle. Could it be her bottle?

Hi sbux....from my experience, cold or icy drinks doesn't get my son upset tummy or gassy..but it was mostly from the food that i ate..so I was very careful in what i ate. It's all about trial and error..as alll babies are different. However, the one thing that you should stay away from is cabbage. Cabbage is a big no no for bf..it can reduce your milk and can give baby tummy upset or gas.

It could be the bottle too..or probably the fm as maybe your baby is not used to that brand or..lactose intolerant.

at this age.. of 1 month plus..it's all about trial and error as baby's digestive system is still adjusting.

Do you put some ointment on his tummy? I used to put it on my son's tummy..every time after his bath..i dunno the name..but you can find it in most pharmacy..it's chinese ointment..i'll try to take a photo later at home and post it here.

Baby girl no nid to give breasts so much. But she needs to suck to fall asleep. Which sometimes leave my nipples exposed all night (after she released it)

KLCC itself got a nice baby room near Concourse toilet. But Jusco anywhere got nice baby rooms

Btw I went to Singapore even the Esplanade got baby room! Suntec baby room is nice also

The baby room in KLCC near concourse toilet must be new...coz it's been awhile since i went there...will go check it out when I have the chance.

phythia, if u got car seat then u can go out alone wif bb... unlike me i was really thinking if the cover is necessary coz shawl or lampin should b ok rite? i totally forgot abt cabbage~! i took a lot of cabbage n soup last weekend~! i think u r referring to yu yee / ru yee oil... they say to rub the oil to ward against wind...

syd, u n phythia try all baby rooms ka? sometimes i fall asleep before my boy n then exposing my own breast...

today is a bit hard to take for me... my first pump today is only 2oz~!! i think it's bcoz i still in shock... yesterday someone i knew past away... i still couldn't believe it until now... yesterday i still could pump 3-3.5oz... mayb it's the emotional hormone making my supply low... or skipping a pump for a few days oso makes my supply low... btw anyone interested in buying nice nursing wear? coz i couldn't find nice maternity or nursing wear close to those normal taiwan/korea/japan wear... since i'm going to b SAHM, wanna do some online biz... comments?

Hehehe...I trained my son to sit in car seat so that i can go out with him on my own..but nowadays..ever since he started walking..i seldom go..coz very tiring lar...he wanna walk here and there..don't like stroller..don't want to hold hands..so now i ended up buying the leash or 'safety harness' so that I can still 'hold' him.

I used to have a normal shawl but ever since my son can pull it out...i decided to invest in the nursing poncho. It's bigger than normal shawl with buttons on the side..I'll take a photo of me nursing my son using it..

Yes..yess..the yu yee oil...i use it diligently when my son was younger..and touchwood..ok

oh another thing..when breastfeeding for the first 6 months..it's very important that we mommies..eat on time and not skip meal as this will indirectly give baby gas..as i experienced once that i didn't eat on time and well (just bread), son had very bad tummy upset..dunno if it's a coincidence or not. Luckily my sister-in-law's mother-in-law helped to urut my son's tummy and took out the wind and reminded me that I have to eat properly.

Yes..maybe you a little sad or shock with the news of someone's death..just try to relax and drink more water...don't think so much about it.

Heheheh...ever since i started breastfeeding..i always look for nursing rooms..and then compare which has the best

phythia, aiyo... wanna go out tesco buy some stuff oso kenot... xian le... i try not to skip any meal tho... just skip pumping... coz lack of bottle n space to store ebm... when i pump at work i try to think of my boy... but today hard to think... must relax... if not later pump oso 2oz... here in jb only jusco got baby room i think...

One of my favourite thing to do (I dont like shopping much cause money go away = pain) is to visit baby rooms So I nowadays only go to bb-friendly malls since she's still exclusively bf-ing Every 3 hours got 'siren'

Btw am not producing much milk this week too . Now reduced to 12-15oz (3 sessions) cause I dont get much sleep since baby was having a bad cold and cried at night. Aih. Hopefully next week will be better. Lucky got a lot of stock in the freezer.

Btw I bought a lot of nice nursing wears from enjoybreastfeed.com . Price is reasonable also.

And I'm a web developer - ping me if you need a shopping cart with cc payment done

OOh...you in JB kah? Hehehe...if always go jusco..sian lar..

don't skip pumping too yeah..coz if you skip..it signals your body that you need less milk..then..reduce lor. try lookign at your son's photo..it helps rather than thinking ...sometimes if i rushign also can't pump a lot..

maybe you need to invest in another freezer..kekeekekek.

1 pumping session..how long do you take? do you try to get multiple letdown
