hi Tano,


yeah, i've been on sgmummy a bit cos they have a v active forum on bfeeding there and i have been picking up tips from other parents! i only have one little darling who is almost 4mth old. i visit ksp cos i am quite involved with my P3 niece and i find this an interesting forum for pple with schooling kids!

for now, i am just hoping my little one will sleep longer through the night soon... she is still waking every 3 hourly for feeds and i am obviously quite tired... do you remember when you were able to sleep through the night with your little one?

hello J and J!! :rahrah:

I slept with my DD when she was baby. So may be it's natural instinct for her to search for food. So in the middle of the night, she would search and latch on and continue to have her supper while I was sleeping. Sound amazing but it did happened to me and so I still could be back to work in the day fully charged.

mummy1901, yes mummysg has very active bf-ing threads.


How do you bf your darling? For me, after much experience with bf-ing I find that the snuggle-lying-down-position is most comfy especially for nite feeds. Baby is nestled comfortably on our upper arm and will bf with eyes closed and will continue sleeping when they are full and done. Younger babies will still require burping but when as they grow older no longer need to burp liao so mommies can sleep while bf-ing.

This phrase sums it up best... We can do it with eyes closed.. steady snot? :rotflmao:

Initially when i only had chubs (my #3).. hubs once asked how come i have biceps when i was carrying boxes during spring cleaning.. Uh? I didn't realize.. I said must be from all the bf-ing sessions. Good workout hor.

Now with both boys feeding at times bo-pian gotta tandem feed when they are super cranky or impatient, i hope i don't grow bigger biceps.

buds:

Toddles, you still bf-ing too babe? Btw, hubs says the same thing too! :slapshead: That I'm distracting. Not the avatar. He meant in real life. Good lor right? At least he won't get distracted elsewhere.


I thought the previous avatar was more distracting? :imanangel:

What's hardware zone? :scratchhead:
YOU are in hardware zone, toddles? :evil:

Haha... yup I was still bfdg until recently... baby almost 2 years old already.

Sweet lah yr hubs.

No lah, donch like the hardware zone types... too much bad language there...

Hi everybody,


I hope to get some advice from the experienced extended bfing mums here. I am a FTWM and still full bfing my DS2 who is now 17 months old. He latch on mornings and nights with a bottle of ebm as his afternoon tea. Recently he start to reject ebm totally. He will kick and wiggle off my mum’s arm who is his caregiver and screamed violently. Feeding him is a nightmare, worse than feeding any other solid foods. We tried to put some fm into the ebm or try out full fm to him but he doesn’t want any milk at all. When it comes to weekends, he will happily skip his lunch and latch on fully the whole day. Any advice on what i can try next? or is this just a passing phase? Thanks in advance!

hi! I’m a new mum. Just back to work for a month and found my milk supply dropped. Is this always the case? Is it because of stress at work

It's not always the case.

Have you always had a lot of milk even before returning to work?
Are you able to cater for any expression session say during lunch hour?

I successfully breastfed my daughter while i was working for a couple of years. She latches on when i'm home at drink EBM when she was cared for by my mom.

When you first started breastfeeding, were his feedings alternated btwn latch-ons and bottle feeding or purely latch-on entirely?
