Hi,

I never tried but I heard Anmum is quite heaty. Very difficult for the baby to poo, but every baby is different so u may try and see.

Anyways, u will have to try few FM brands for baby's likes and any allergic reactions before u can settle with 1 brand.

In terms of milk "Breast Milk" is the BEST and no FM can compare wif that. So if u can pls try to BF your baby...

stupidbump, ur baby is just 2 weeks old is it? if so then it's normal that ur baby waking up at nite... breast milk is easier to digest that y ur baby gets hungrier faster... 10ml for 1 hr is normal... i used to get 10ml for 2 hrs during the 1st mth... i dun wanna b a wet blanket but i've been thru it n so i'll say it... u should get more info abt bf n not intro fm yet to ur baby as nothing is better than breast milk... u can get info at kellymom.com... ur baby stomach is just a size of a pea... go to ur fridge n c how big is a pea... then u imagine if u force feed a pea to finish 1-2oz of fm just because u wanna sleep thru the nite... i dun mean to b harsh but in a good intention can anyone remember the china milk scandal? how many babies died? wat if their mum bf their babies? i dun wanna think abt it... then how abt the milk powder that shows u that other milk powder contains sugar? imagine ur baby is drinking sugar n up to 14 tablespoon of sugar... would u put 14 tablespoon of sugar into ur drink? if u wanna bf there's no short cut... ur baby will learn to sleep thru the nite when s/he is ready... we all been thru it so u n ur wife is not alone sorry if i have offended anyone... but i just can't get it... dun complain if u say price is increasing or no money... bf is FOC

Stupidbump...what Nickit said is true...she is the best person to give her views as she has gone thru all kinds of obstacles during bf. BF...the journey is a rough one but the rewards is extremely greater...in terms of health for both mommy and baby...and of coz your pocket. I hv saved sooooo much of money for the first year as my son refused any other milk. Only now I'm giving him powdered milk while  I'm at work and bf when I'm around.

Once u have kids...in fact...u can say bye bye to sleep. First sleepless nights coz baby wakes up every hour for milk...then also worry...coz of SIDS...then when bigger...they may still wake up in the middle of the night due to night terror etc..

Being a mommy for 2 yrs now...I actually got used to it Liao. First month was the toughest as everyone (including mommy, baby and daddy) are adjusting to new routines.

stupidbump... yes it's quite normal for mommies to have less milk during 1-2weeks after baby is born. Same situ wif me cos I had very little milk and my baby also used to be awake most of the time through the night. but don't worry, after 2motnhs or so, u r wife will have more milk and thus baby will tend to sleep longer during the night.

Believe me, my baby was lower than his birth weight when he was 2 weeks due to less intake of milk, but I never gave up. Luckily I have enuf milk to feed my baby now... Unfortunately I had to giv FM to my baby at 2 motnhs when I send him to Babysitter cos he refused to take EBM when I returned to work... sigh...

We're all there to support u & ur wife so don't worry... Don't introduce FM now itself cos baby might get used to FM and might not take BM anymore due to nipple confusion, and also the bottle nipple is easy to suck than mummy's one.

BTW one time my milk supply dropped, phythia adviced to take fenugreek tea, which I tried and it really worked for me... Maybe ur wife can try that?

stupidbump...kindly go over to the other forum topic...coz..if not..this would be the next bf topic.  nicKit has posted it on the first post on the fenugreek seeds tea..and other recipes for confinement.
