elmolly,
抖3晚, thursday, friday 至看夜..
如果bed time 係 formula feeding, Andrea 可能會早啲介夜奶架.. 佢咗食就尤得佢囉
Andrea應該冇便祕, 因為你話的便便係soft 嘅條狀.. how many times a day 你用formula bottle feed Andrea.. 我估唔止一餐.. 因為even bottle feed 人奶.. BB 便便都好少一條條架.. 係formula BB 嘅便便至一條條 formed but soft.
otherwise, 你increase fibre intake.. Andrea 嘅便便都會密啲, 濕啲.
你有冇1日飲at least 12 份8oz 飲料, 2餐水果, 3餐蔬菜..?
人奶媽咪嘅diet 要好小心計算架!

加拿大人工好低.. 叻嘅人都落US 工作...
LA人工低, so 我留喺NYC (老公home town)工作

多好!! 恭喜你... 可以完全康復.. 記住, 你老公同Andrea 好需要你架!

Nillie_Mami,

嘩,你份工好好呀,起香港真係無乜可能搵到.

Actually I think the weather in East Coast is too cold, especially when it's over -20, it kills! but I love it in Florida, soooo nice with the sunshine. Did you stay in other cities before moving to NYC?

Last night we gave her breast milk at around 11, 200ml first then another 20ml and another 20ml, so finally she had 240ml! is it too much? but she only slept until 5 this morning.

Well, used to give her formula once a day, in these 3 weeks, only give her formual around 4 times a week, so does the stool look normal as 條狀? not sure if I have up to 12 份8oz 飲料, at least 2 bowl of soup, 5 cup water + 1 cup of soya milk... it's probably not enough, I'll try to drink more. 2餐水果...umm, only an orange, I'll eat more

ops:" />

by the way, I feel sort of complicated for not sleeping with her at night. It's good that she's not so attached to me but I also feel hard sometimes, she used to look for me when she's sleepy, I guess she may start to look for her grandma only in the near future...

我去過加洲, 亦去過佛羅里達洲..
加洲, salary 差過NYC, living cost 貴過 NYC..
而FL, 太熱.. 我唔掂..
NY 夏天只熱幾日到2-3weeks.. (over 100F) so far .. 我都ok
冬天.. 我已慣咗, 返正我唔會行街.. 99% 時間都喺 indoor.. indoor 又有 central heat.. so.. no problem 喇!

我好明白你"忐忑不安"/ "失落"嘅感覺.. Gabriel 4months old 時, 開始跟英姨姨瞓.. 我就繼續失眠.. 唉! 自己好似 "可有可無".. Gabriel 要英EE唔要我

我對Gabriel 嚟講.. 只係一隻乳牛媽媽喇...

如果我返香港, 就唔會做clinical 嘅工作..
我只會教書, 同set up 工作坊, 做mother and infant care 架喇.
但我教授講過.. 夢想唔可以做成 career, once your dream becomes your career.. 就會夢想消失.. 人冇咗夢想.. 就冇咗motivation. therefore, 我只會online 幫人.. 而現實生活, 我係一個內外全科嘅護士長.. 咁我每一日都會有心機教人湊BB.

Nillie_Mami,

my internet connection got problem, so can't get online

I agree with your professor, reality is always different from your dream, especially if you want to make it to your profession, when there's $$ involved, the nature wounldn't be the same. but we are lucky to have you help us out here

The night before yesterday, I needed to dine out so I prepared 2 bottle of breat milk for Andrea, 230ml each, but she finished them in 3 hours! is that too much? last night, I gave her 210ml breast milk, but still not enough, so finally gave her 40ml more formula, I gave her at around 9:30 but she woke up at 2:30 for milk again. Is she drinking too much at this age?

Do babies fall to sleep when they are full? I wonder if she's not getting enough cause she's not sleeping at all in the afternoon, or only sleeps for half an hour until she sleeps at mid-night time. However, even though she plays less with my nipple now, she's still only sucking for like 10 mins then will fall to sleep, but when I put her down to bed, she wakes up immediately, it's like a cycle, so I really wonder if she's getting enough. I try to wake her up when I'm feeding her but she gives me no response. Compared with skin to skin at night, even she's looking for my nipple every 2 hours, her diaper is much heavier than the one in afternoon say if I change her diaper after 6 hours.

Does Gabriel attache to you more or ee more now? mine is not as attached to me as before only after I bottle feed her for 3 nights!

by the way, after chatting in English for few days, it's kind of strange to read chinese again

elmolly,
it really depends..

if I am at home, I type in Chinese, if I am in hospital.. it leaves me no choice.. I gonna type in English.

For 3 months old, Andrea really can eat!!
Certainly, feed on demend is our point!
she slept from 9:30pm and wake up from 2:30am.. that is 5 hours apart, Andrea is doing very good.
you should feel proud of her. as we said.. if infant can sleep more than 5 hours.. we will say that this baby is able to sleep thru the night.
think about it..--> if you delay the last feed to 12am and Andrea wakes up at 5am.. same thing.. we will call it as "sleep thru the night"

We got a mami, in new york, her infant drinks 8oz on his 6 weeks. so we need to reduce the feed for him.. too much and that makes him throw up every after meal.

you need to watch for the sign of over fed, ok?

Gabriel will be happier to see his nanny. Gabriel only wants me when he is hungry..

Nillie_Mami,

Finally I got time to talk to you again.

I totally understand how you feel, Andrea was exactly like Gabriel before, she only laughted to her dad or grandma, never laugh to me and only looked for me when she was hungry. Thank God that she still prefers me at night, makes me feel that I'm still "valuable".

There are few questions that I want to ask you again. I wonder if my milk flow drops cause Andrea is not having enough after I feed her one side and need to give her another side finally. She starts to lose patience after like 10-15 mins then begins to 扯 my nipple. I thought she was playing around but she becomes better after I give her another side. I used to feel 谷 if I don't feed or pump for around 3 hours, but now I don't have this feeling even after 4 hours.

How to find out if I have over-fed or not? actually I'm confused when is she having enough. I feed her skin to skin when she cries badly, but a lot of time she just off my nipple and smiles at me, it's usually talking about 10 mins time. Is she not really hungry or is she full already? I'm having problem to make her sleep during the day time, she can stay awake the whole day or sleeps only 30 mins or if I sleep with her, she wakes up immediately after I leave the bed. Is this her character for not sleeping or she's not full?

As for poo poo, the stool is now watery after I drink more water, but still once every four days, any way I can help for this? A bit off topic but when is the suitable time to let her watch tv? She seems very interested in it

haha.. At least Andrea wants you..
But my boy.. he will cry when he sees me when he is sleepy. he wants Ying EE (nanny)

1. to know if she is full, she will hold herself away from your nipples,
2. if she is not full, still hungry, she will have temper, aggassive.. pull herself away from the side she had and look for nipples again.
3. breast fed baby normally won't over fed. that is only the problem for formula baby. if they are over fed, baby will throw up.
4. that is normal if you feel engore about every 4 hours. your breast tolerate with milk storage better than before..
for me, now I will have engorment only if I don't feed Gabriel over 6-7 hours. but then I can pump about 18oz from both sides.
5. research said, infant and toddler before 6years old, should stay away from TV.
But I didn't do that.
I will watch TV with Amanda and Gabriel.
We watch baby einstein, little einstein, baby channel, Disney channel, mother goose DVD at home every day.
it is family time. and a very good interaction time with infant and toddler.
Just remember, you don't leave your infant to watch TV and you go to do your housework. Don't let your mom to do that too, TV is not your infant's baby sitter.

Nillie_Mami,

我又要求救. 如果你咁講,我懷疑囡囡真係唔夠飽.佢成日食10-15分鐘就會發"紋",個口就扯nipple,對腳就"young" my tummy.之前比埋另一邊佢食叫做好d,但呢兩日佢另一邊食到around 10 mins又係咁拿,我兩邊都比個衰豬整損晒,而家要停工喇.佢食另一邊時有時扯扯下又會同我笑,真係唔知佢飽定餓.我得番一餐存貨,睇黎今日要補超過一餐奶粉.今朝我埋身餵左around 20 mins in total, 跟住痛到頂唔到就比多160ml佢, 結果佢又食晒然後瞓左四個鐘,咁係咪唔飽? 因為阿囡成日唔瞓,婆婆就話佢唔飽,又話佢夜晚一可以食成240ml係因為全日都食唔飽,攪到我都覺得自己起到"監生"餓個女咁. Please help

Elmolly,
你介唔介意BB 係50/50 bf vs formula??
你要試..
先skin to skin 15 min on 1 side, then prepare formula 做 back up.. 我巳經唔識計ml/cc as US 用oz.. anyway, HK 嘅bottle 有寫安士...right?
你再入5-6oz formula 用bottle feed as backup..
一來 relief 你嘅nipples, 二來等我哋make sure, 係咪你唔夠奶/你diet 嘅問題..
我由生咗Gabriel 之後都係一日食6餐, 12杯水再加湯, 果汁+荳奶, beside 我4 餐skin to skin, 我pump about 25 +/- 5oz breast milk 俾nanny 餵 Gabriel while I am at work..
你可以話我知你日日食乜嗎? 我suppect 你啲奶唔夠calories because of your diet..

早晨呀

50/50 bf vs formula 你意思係暫時定係以後都係咁? 如果係暫時既話,我都要接受,如果長遠既話,唔prefer.我想至少70/30,希望可以盡量try下先. 我頭先試過比囡囡食,仲係好痛,連泵都好痛呀

我應該skin to skin再比奶粉定係泵出黎餵?

my diet's break-down
breakfast:一杯豆漿,通常+多個砵仔糕
lunch:一係食排骨飯(茶樓d盅頭飯),一係煮麫食,都會有肉有菜
tea: 雪糕
dinner:半碗飯+魚肉菜+兩碗湯
water consumed: 7-8 cup

我仲想問食唔食得花旗蔘? 我見有d媽媽話會收奶. I was talking about my breast milk to Andrea, that's why I mentioned it in ml, I'll put it to oz next time

儍豬,
你食咁少怪唔知冇奶喇
你嘅diet 連1800Kcal 都冇呀!
人奶媽咪要at least 2300Kcal to 2500Kcal 至夠架!

早餐又冇protein又冇fibre, 午餐得一碗仔飯..
你自己都消化晒.. 咁阿女食乜??
Breakfast:
豬排米粉, 牛肉公仔伊麵 + 2條菜, 荳奶, 2杯warm water
Morning break:
energy bra, juice../ 水果+ 水
lunch:
係一碟干炒牛河.. at least 400-500Kcal 嘅main dish + side order(菜) , 加杯 yogurt/ milk shake/ 1.5 cup juice+ 水
afternoon tea:
ice cream 2 scoops, water
Dinner:
1 碗飯, 1碗菜, 4両肉, 2碗湯(like 木瓜, 鷄爪, 鱆魚, 眉豆..etc).+水, 1 hour later, 食水果again
bed time:
荳奶+4片crackers

呢個至係基本嘅diet 呀!

你diet 唔跟足BB 嘅需要.. 就餵formula 安全過 breast feeding 呢..
from now on, 你要立刻改 diet..咪BB 係完全唔飽呀!
that's another reason, BB 4日一次 bowel movement, 佢喺你喥得唔夠.. 唔夠intake.. (calories, fibre, fat), so.. 少poo poo.. 只濕片, 又唔瞓..

if 你想70/30 bf vs formula, 你要下定決心..
唔好減肥啊!
gin sang tea.. 唔 recommend 喎! 乜嘢原因想飲? 等我哋揾other beverage replace 咗佢喇

Plus..
你宜家要skin to skin about 15 min (only 1 side) then 補 formula,
之後pump 清.. stock up bf. (等你返工後, 俾你媽咪餵)
until baby 可以瞓好, 你diet 改過..(見BB食少咗formula 都飽+瞓得著), 咁就 reduce formula ratio.

唉,好似我累左阿女咁呀,攪到佢咁.下星期佢就四個月喇,但係我就而家先發現問題.健康院淨係教數濕片,我見佢呢個月又重手左好多,無諗到原來我d奶攪到佢瞓唔到又無得poo poo. is it too late? should I give up? I feel really bad:-(

我盡量跟diet食啦,唔係減肥,係我本身唔係食好多野.有時好肚餓,但囡囡唔瞓既話,想食都唔得.但為左佢,我會努力食架喇.

我諗我會隔多兩餐先會再skin to skin,真係餵咁耐都未試過咁痛.其實如果你咁講,仲應唔應該比我d奶阿女飲??好似無乜營養價值咁. 我媽咪話阿女有火所以咬我,咪話煲花旗蔘湯比我飲,等我再過比阿女喎

唔該晒你呀,好彩你今日off起屋企咋(我估你off or you are probably sleeping at this time).

elmolly,

Don't blame yourself too much. It'll never be too late. You know it now and you can change from now on. I started with both BF and formula since my boy bornt because I did not have enough milk (possibly did not know how to increase and keep milk flow at that time) and my baby needs to stay in hospital for a few days. The nurses fed him formula during his stay and they also told me that I need to feed him more. If I don't have enough bf milk, I have to supplement formula to let him poo out more and to grow. I kept almost 70%/30% of breast milk/formula at the beginning and it fell down gradually to 50%/50%, then 40%/60%. I felt that I'm not a qualified mom - why the others can 100% bf their babies but I could not. Then, I started to bf more and pump more - but it hurted my nerves of the two hands because I held the pump too tight for 8 times a day. Finally, I could not even carry him too long :-( :-(

Then, my mom told me that it's okay. Either I'm a BF mom or a bottle mom, I'm the mom. And, I'm trying to bf at least. Some women are not lucky to be able to bf. You really need to eat more, eat when you feel hungry, especially right before you feed your daughter, never has an empty stomach. Drink more water, soup, milk. Papaya and fish are really helpful for milk production. I ate almost every 3 hours in the first few months. To make more milk for our honey babies, we should eat more and better. Intake more vegetables and liquid, it can help to improve her bowel movements. Also, don't eat too much beans, spices or something difficult to digest because baby is eating what you eat. All these may cause gas which may make her fussy. If you daughter really is not full, supplement her with formula and she should be able to sleep better. I gave my boy an extra bottle of milk when we prepare to sleep so that we don't have to worry about he woke up too soon for feeding.

Some babies take longer to learn. My son did not know how to latch on my nipples which are flat and small. I need to use a nipple shield and it still took him almost 2 months to be able to latch better. Give you and baby more time and you will be okay. I don't know much about baby care and just want to share with you my experience. Hope it helps.

elmolly,
Listen to Rose-meg as well.. see, not all moms are 100% BF.. for my elder daughter, I only BF her for 4 months, then switched to formula because I had PPD.. and on medication.
Never be too late. and don't feel upset about it, as we guess that we found the track.. start from tomorrow, we try to start the new diet.
We found the problem because we talk.. and share.. did you tell the nurse in mother baby clinic that you only eat less than 1800Kcal diet.. did you tell the nurse that your baby looks for nipples all the times, not sleeping at day and night, and she only poo every 4 days?
too many small evidences group together, therefore we know..
I am working from tonight, for 4 nights, if I have time.. I will check BK when I am on break at working in my office.
But have to in charge.. so too many ppl many walk in.. not very good to do person stuffs..

Keep on breast feeding, only breast feeding which will release DHA/AHA that will be digested in infant's intestines. Formula's DHA is hardly to be digested in infant's intestines, don't trust the formula company.

hi rose_mag,

Thanks for sharing your experience with me. you expressed milk 8 times a day

no wonder your hands got hurt! The max. I can do it's like 4 times a day, depends if my girl is sleeping or not. Did you finally continue breast-feeding? All those "formula" to increase milk supply is not working on me, I used to drink papaya fish soap everyday, but I just didn't see the difference, so I just keep to in-take as much fluid as I can.

Nillie_Mami,

I can finally use both hands to type after expressing milk. Well, Andrea used to sleep like 4 hours then 3 hours when I skin to skin her at night, just recently she's waking up every 2 hours. Last night she had formula but still woke up every 4 hours for milk but the night before she was able to sleep through the whole night (she was on formula as well), the pattern is so unpredictable. I almost wanted to give up after hearing that all my efforts made no good to my own daughter you know...giving her formula is much easier but it ends up the easier=better than my breast milk :-( how about my expressed milk? should I still give it to her? It can last like 3 hours, should I give it to her after skin to skin or as replacement of skin to skin?

I started to change my diet, I had beef noodle in the morning, 1 bowl of rice+4 chicken wings for lunch and egg tart for tea. When should I see the difference? so the DHA/AHA from formula babies may not be getting any if you said it's hardly digested then? I'm so surprised to hear that cause they all said there are DHA/AHA in there but I didn't know infants may not be able to digest which is nothing. you just told me formula 安全過 breast feeding but she may not getting any DHA/AHA (ARA?) from there so that's why you suggested to feed 50/50 to let Andrea have all she needs? the nurses in the health clinic are too busy and robot-like, they only checked if I feed in the right way, didn't mention about my diet at all... that's why I need to surf around to solve my problems, luckily I met you here.

hey, don't feel bad, as long as you fulfill your duties and no one discovers you, it's fine to do personal things at work to my eyes

I LOVE doing it, just usually too busy at work... by the way, what's PPD?

Yes, 8 times, when my son was sleeping and I felt so full, I pumped. Every time after I fed him, I pumped to empty my breast (usually, not too much left). It's trying to stimulate more milk supply because my son only eat 6-7 times a day. I kept breastfeeding until he's 10 months old and I discovered that I'm expecting the 2nd one. I have promised to bf until he's 1 years old but just cannot eat for 3 any more.

When I was breastfeeding my son (at least in the first 6 months), I ate like a horse everyday. Once I felt hungry, I ate. My rice cooker was always on with rice and chicken or other meat in it. My mom and my 99 made a lot of food and soup everyday and "forced" me to eat. I could not lose any weight afterward except the natural lose of weight from the baby and the water. I've never be so fat but who cares? I'm eating and keeping it for my son. My mom told me if I lose weight like those movie star moms, my boy may not gaining enough nutrition.

If papaya and fish are not working too good for you, you can try chicken soup with sesame oil and you should drink milk everyday (watch out if your daughter has allergy because egg and milk may cause rashes to some baby) Don't trust the formula company, breast milk is always the best for baby, easy to be digested hence, it won't give heavy burden to baby's digestion system. The only one thing lacking is Vitamins D. Your pedi will tell you to supplement with Vitamins D if your exclusively BF your baby, in the 4th or 6th month check up.

elmolly,
Don't feel bad..
I also express about 3-4 times a day and skin to skin 4 times a day for my son.
I use electric pump, so I have no problem..
I told you to switch to 50/50 because I want you to have a good break .. as your nipples are sore.
但人不可一成不變啊! 你要學識變通
Paediatrician told me that.. even the DHA in fish oil is hard to be digest.. only the DHA in Breast milk will be digested in infant's intestines. Formula compant add DHA into formula, but they never tell you that DHA will be digested in infant's stomach.
Breast milk always better than formula and all other beverage. my dear, your breast milk with no problem, it is good for Andrea, just the ratio of Fat and fibre are relatively low.. so Andrea doesn't poo like other BF baby, and ask for feeding sooner.
For express breast milk will keep baby feeling full longer.
Because the 前奶(water base) 同後奶(fat base) mixed together. therefore, Andrea will feel full..
4 hours is good time.. and normal for a 3 months old.
How many oz she will take after skin to skin?
I still eat like a horse every day..
I was 124lbs before I was pregnant.. I am still 136-138lbs now. I don't plan to lose any weight until Gabriel wean breast milk.
try Rose-meg's method. I didn't cook anything special. just regular diet, but never have a empty stomach, that's it.
your milk is the best, remember that.
when will you see the different? really depend..
I can't really tell, it depends on your digestion. normally in a few days. when you express milk, you can see the different (明顯地) as your fat base is much more than water base.
Add oil mom!!
(I am on nights these days -- work 7 nights in 9 days)

some more food suggestion

elmolly,
Just remember some other food I ate after delivery of my son: -
1) You can try to eat the papaya without cooking it, just eat it as a snack (buy smaller one or split it into several times), choose the ripen one. If you like, blend it with milk as a drink or heat up the milk and add papaya to it right before turning off the fire, as a dessert.
2) My mom used to make soup with "pig's hand" or "pig's foot" and green papaya or squash. Spoon out the fat on top and eat all the ingredients. The meat (pig's hand or pig's foot) is very nutritious to build up the bones of the baby. And, it helped me to increase my milk flow a bit.
3) Chicken is good for your body recovery. You can try different kind of cooking - steam, bake, stir fried, slow cooking, etc. I like the most is stir fried chicken with "gold needles" and wooden ears. Add a bit of rice wine to avoid the fishy flavor of the gold needles and wooden ears. My aunt has no family member here when she gave born to her daughter. What she ate everyday is just chicken. She marinated the chicken with some salt, oil and soy sauce, then put it on top of the rice inside the rice cooker. She ate it everyday any time when she felt hungry. It's the cheapest and easiest way to help the body recovered.
4) If you like, eat the liver and kidney of the chicken too. These are high in iron and protein. Also, you don't have to waste it when you buy the whole chicken. I ate these during my pregnancyand post-partum to give extra nutrition to my son.
5) Another one is red dates (without the cores). Put some into hot water and soak them for a while. Don't need to be very concentrated, just get the iron from the red dates. Or, you can use red dates to make dessert with boiled eggs and rock sugar. You can also add lotus seed and "pak hop" to have more variety.

I was given a lot of different kinds of food after gave born to my son. My mom and my 99 made a lot and they discussed what and how to make the food for me. Most of the time, I need to stop them making too much because I cannot eat that much. So, keep trying and don't giving up. Remember, the situation can only be better and improving because you and your daughter are learning from every feeding. Cheers up.
