phythia, in laws eh? i dun think i've covered that one well enuf

syd, u should be~! aren't we all just excited n cheering for other bf mummies too?

qarezma, u're the best n latest sample to Tess_87 coz ur babies r just a few weeks apart... u guys should b able to relate to each other n perhaps support each other... i'm so proud of u dear~!

Tess_87, gambateh~! do update us whenever u can bf journey is not always smooth but the end result is worthwhile (dunno where i heard this liao )

Snowee, err... i read from the bf network can try MAM teats... mayb it'll work?

qarezma, u're getting more n more confident... do help other bf mummies if u know any let's spread the bf virus around

1) i gave up almost instantly coz i was DL (direct latch) so i dunno if got increase or not... but hb told other ppl got

2) i pun tak tau my boobies still look small to me... at least to hb

3) if can burp then burp lo... if DL babies suck little air compare to bottle feed... but they do suck air when cry or eat... if no burp oso ok de...

syd, agreed... bf is too hard to bear without any support or encouragement...

Snowee, good for u

u guys so good lo... bigger boobs... i dun have le

EnPoiNte, well done~! we're all here to support n encourage mummies who wanna bf... bf is sooo worth it rite? baby get fresh milk n it's FOC~! daddies should b proud n support their wifes to bf coz save money ma i dun feel engorged like exploding type unless i din bf for a long hrs but last time when i returned to work i was like u... kakaka... now bf on demand he DL whenever he wants... cry, fussy, comfort, etc

Tess_87, way to go~! but y is baby not sleeping wif u at nite le? ur hb is not beside u ma if baby make noise oso won't disturb him... just kepo... if u dun DL then remember to pump o...

qarezma, paiseh le u say like that

qarezma, syd, aiyo... i was expecting a cup C mana tau cup B pun susah

Tess_87, sbux is actually rite. i only manage to pump 10ml during my confinement. imagine 10ml. i felt as bad as u did. mil kept saying c no milk / not enuf milk. but then after getting lots of info n reading thru the bf network, there is no such thing. actually u should get ur nb wif u at nite so u can build up ur supply. there is no better breast pump than baby's. if u couldn't then try cosleeping after ur confinement. elders will say that it's bad coz baby won't b imdependent but it's actually natural parenting. ur baby is still ur baby, u're forever his mum. like qarezma said, once we girls upgrade to mummies, we're natural. that's wat sets us apart from men. qarezma's hb oso away from her during confinement. mayb she could share some experience wif u. i remember she kept telling me how she would miss n think of her hb when she had a bad mood. bm changes formula according to baby's need unlike fm, only one formula. amazing huh? welcome to the wonderful n amazing world of bm! so if u find ur ebm sometimes thick someyimes watery it's coz they're changing foemula! i think. besides coz u just give birth ur bm is not as matured as me, phythia's or syd's. dun worry la. ur body knows wat to do. it's a natural thing. man i'm so long winded

Syd, paiseh la. i'm still not qualify le. unlike u n phythia else i would have apply for the peer counsellor i can officially say i'm a bf addict. a bit scared of the day my boy wean off the breast. will definately miss it. but i guess i could still pump if only ppl accept ebm just like cow's milk, e.g. make cake, yogurt, ice cream, handmade soap, etc. super nutricous (i know wrong spelling but i dun have spelling checker) n moisterizing!

Tess_87, if u really beh tahan try phythia's way or say this:

y should i give MILK from COW which has been PROCESSED while i could give the BEST milk which is from HUMAN n FRESH? u forgot abt the china's tainted milk scandal?

c wat's her reply... phythia's rite... u have to keep sane... u can oso try putting ur rite breast milk on ur left breast n vice versa...

today went for baby's checkup... he gained 1kg for 2 mths... he's now 10kg... ok ar? the nurse is praising me for still bf n asked me to promote bf went to the imigresen office n found surprisingly got nursing room... nice n comfy... :thumb:

Syd, congrats n happy birthday to ur little girl~! send her our hugs n kisses ya

SuggleBliss, i think the silicon massager is the one wif petals. u can find at those shops selling breastpumps n try ask them if they have any flower peyal silicon for ur pump.

Tess_87, y do u have to leave baby for 8 long mths? wat happen before n after the 8 mths? how do u bf him then? or u send ebm to ur mil's place? sorry just curious...

kucingfight, last time i used 4 ice packs for 8 hrs... my total ebm is abt 5-9oz/pumping that time coz i can sneak back home during lunch hr to store the ebm... hehe... if u need longer hrs of cooling u might consider getting better insulated cooler bag n/or ice packs

phythia, i'm oso looking for weaning signs... wonder how it is like... sigh... scared of weaning actually... will miss DL n the closeness of him to me...

Tess, i agree wif phythia... i tot ur mil full time jaga ur baby... if send to nanny then y not u bring the baby wif u, send to nanny in the morning n pick him up after work? it's the same plus u get to c him n bf

phythia, sometimes hor... elders ar... susah to knock sense into them la... coz the quote "i eat more rice than u / the older the ginger the spicier"... elders ma... to them younger gen should listen to them coz they're more experience... sigh...

Tess_87, if it breaks ur heart so much y not tok to ur hb again? after all it's ur own kid not ur mil's... mayb u should try let him alternative latch... our body respond better to baby sucking than pump correct me if i'm wrong...

if i can get a romper (3-6mth, 6-9mth, 9-12mth) n tee (1-6yrs) with the wording "Human Milk for Human" or "I'm not a Calf" or something that supports bf for abt RM 35 exclusive postage, would anyone one? pls raise ur hand~!

laughiebean, apparently it's ok to consume alcohol during bf as long it's cooked n remember to eat moderately... dun just main hantam la...

hellokitty82, can lemme know the mth n yr u started n stopped bf?

anyone wanna order the bf romper / tee pls fill in the google doc... hopefully closing date is 31st oct... if u have problem filling in do pm me... thanks~!
