hello everyone...it's TGIF!


Sleepy afternoon...going for my gynae checkup later. 48 more days...counting down...

how was the check-up?

[tigger88]

SAHM_TAN,


Check up was ok. Bb is abt 2kg now. I told gynae I am hoping to give birth on my EDD but he will be flying to Europe on the same day at 11pm.
He expects me to deliver early but based on my last 2 deliveries, dd was born 1 day b4 EDD & DS2 was late for 2 days, I doubt I will be due early. Anyway see how it goes..

Hi veraclari,


Dun get too stress over breastfeeding. It’s a vicious cycle. The more stress, the less milk. Take it easy ok.

Thanks for informing abt the workshop. For me, I have breastfed my 3 kids fully till abt 8-10mths. My nightmare is err… Too much milk at times n also experienced engorgement. I wanna take it slower this time as previously I threw away my frozen milk due to not enough storage space. All my kids stopped latching at ard 3-4mths and I spent a lot of time expressing out the milk. I find it very tough to go out the whole day if I need to express every 3-4 hrly.

Good morning Mintymin mei,

yes, my supply has always been good but all my 3 kids do not wanna latch from 3-4mths onwards so end up I express the milk out and do it every 3-4 hrly which can be very disruptive to my work at times. Sometimes when I need to go out shopping etc, have to time it properly or to go to the public toilet to express out the milk. I feel it's a chore actually so this time I just tell myself to breastfeed 6 mths will do.

Mintymin mei,

Oic.. My DS can latch really well.. but i only manage to bf him for 4mths.. though my 2 DDs were very hard to bf.. i still manage to last for 9mths.. but that 9 mths like wat u say.. it was quite a chore lah.. haf to bring pump every where since they dun latch well.. n at times haf to pump in toilet.. or if not haf to rush hm etc..

my problem is that bb loves to latch too much
