welcome to our breastfeeding group! 

yes. direct feed means latching.

u try to direct feed first. if really feel geli or what, then use breastpump lor. 

definitely direct feed will be better.

from sensitive change to not so sensitive...erm..i think depends on individual. 

Baby not naked should be ok gua

I'm not so sure where she's coming from but it's more comfy to nurse in cold room as breastfeeding can make both mommy and baby sweat a lot.

Newborns can be fussy for a many reasons - too hot, too old, too noisy, too quiet, too bright and the list goes on... they dont know how to handle the world so they do what they do best - cry

Normally you have to discard the milk if your baby does not finish it.

But I re-use the milk if my son can't finish it. I just leave it in the room temperature and I give myself 1 hour window before i throw it away.

My baby is so special.. she doesn't need frequent feeding, she can sleep for 5-6 hours without crying for milk.this made us so wry ...n she only drink a little bit for each feeding...

now she still on FM cuz my milk hvnt come, but i started to notice whitish sticky liquid from my nipple although is just 1 drop.  Already asked my husband to get a manual pump for me to pump out n bottle feed her cuz she very lazy on sucking... even bottle feed v need to spend almost an hour to feed her n she only takes in a bit...

Koh Sin,

A word of caution, please make sure your LO drinks more milk, especially based on your description, she is lazy to drink milk. This laziness symptom is exactly the SAME as my LO and he is being diagnosed for jaundice. The senior nurse termed it as 'penyakit malas', malas to wake up, malas to drink milk and malas to move around. My Lo sleeps 5-6 hours without milk, when he wakes up, he drinks a bit and we thought he is being a good baby as well. If you detect the slightest tint of yellow on his face and his eyes, please consult your paed.

My LO was under phototherapy for a day, and I had to wake him up every 2 hours to breastfeed him. The breastmilk will flush out the bilirubin in his body. It was a tough process, especially for first time mummy, so I hope you don't need to go through it. Good luck!

my paed against using guinness stout to bath my baby because he says that the stout will be absorbed into baby's skin and make baby abit drunk....

Naik again the jaundice level today! 237.5. Duno how leh...   

I heard about this before. does this really work?

I wonder why guinness stout?
