Isaac momi, elmolly,
Happy New Year! It should be the 1st day of CNY at your end when you see that. How's going for Terrence and Andrea? CNY atmosphere is really "thin" in here and I hope that I can bring Spencer and Amanda back to HK some years later and let them feel what's CNY should be.

Nillie,
Amanda is growing pretty good, I can see her legs become firmer. She's not really eating a lot, 2-4oz each feeding when my mom feeds her with the bottle. Sometimes, she would not finish the whole 4oz at one time because she has a stuffy and running nose, she needs to rest after an "aggressive sucking". She recognizes my mom and me and she will look for me around the time that I should arrive home. If I ignore her when I step in the house, she will look at me and make noise to attract my attention. It's really interesting. She still needs night feeding, pretty regular - if her last feeding is 9:00pm, she will wake up at around 3am and 6am. Actually, she does not eat too much but would rather like to have her diaper changed. I'd have my fingers crossed to see her sleep thru the night sooner or later. How are you? Do you need to work in CNY? Take care.

rose-mag,
Good to hear that Amanda is doing well... somehow, they got their way to know.. if mami is not around, they need to be bottle fed.

Same here.. I did not go out to China town, so I don't feel anything difference here.. a normal day.. expect for 1 thing.. we clean our house completely.. plus stick the "fai chun" on the window and on the door.. changed the $5 notes.. for all friends' children.
Amanda and Gabriel will wear their CNY new outfit tomorrow to 99's home.

Hihi, Rose-mag and Nillie, wish you two have a wonderful year of Rat.....this is Isaac's first year getting Lucky money (red pocket). I planned to save for him so that he can use his own money when we visit HK couple years later.

Hi Isaac mami, Nillie,
I'm sick again, possibly caught it from Spencer and my hubby. Also, the weather was so bad recently. Plus, the heat is always on in the office. Now, I started to have sore throat on Monday and I already drank a lot of water trying to stop it. Unluckily, Amanda's growing again, she ate every 2 hours at night starting on Monday night. It made me no sleep from Monday to Tuesday. Yesterday, I was off from work but hardly can nap or rest. It made the situation worse and now, I have headache, running and stuffy nose, ear pain... I think that I need to take an early off to see doctor today. Fortunately, I have quite a bit of milk in the refrigerator. Even though I may not be able to nurse Amanda for a while, she won't be starved.

Isaac mom,
I am a bad person.. I would suggest you ... do not cancel all your bank account from hk.. keep at least one in hk.. like me.. Keep some money in hk.. when you go back for travel, then you don't need to bring HK currency..

Rose-mag,
Please.. Honey Lemon warm water really help.. please ask your mom to make some for you..
If you tell your PCP, she/he may just prescribe some meds which is good for BF mom to take.. my PCP or my Gyn, only prescribe meds for me which LLL approved.. so I still BF Gabriel everytime. (certainly, I call LLL as well to make sure every time).
feel better, my dear..

hi everyone,

:恭: :發: :財: :喜: althouhgh it's a bit late

rose-mag,

are you better now? eat more kiwi, it works on me!

you guys like CNY? I hate it a lot personally, I feel very "fake", especially after I get married, every year need to find a way to escape from 99's 魔掌,佢覺得帶住d仔去巡遊好威,其實side晒d時間. the first 2 years after I married my hubby, we went to travel during CNY, used money to escape, last year I was pregnant, this year is so headache...明明食開年飯(my family doesn't even have 開年飯)已經見晒d親戚,但99仲話要去人地屋企,真係勁無聊:tongue:

sorry for so many complaints, it's really annoying though

elmolly,
My nose is still very stuffed and I'm tired. It's been so long that I have not been so sick. The doctor said that I have fever and a very bad flu which is very common these days. Everybody in the clinic yesterday was having a flu. I have waited for 2 hours to see the doctor and to have the prescription. Luckily, the doctor told me to keep bf Amanda because it's the best for her as my body is creating antibiotics to kill the germs and it's good for her to pass this to her to build up her immuze system. Amanda is also sick, keeps waking up at night, coughs and sneezes. She has stuffy running noses too. Now, when she sees us holding tissue, she starts crying because she knows that we are going to clear her noses. Poor little one

Tomorrow, we need to go to my hubby's grandmom's house for CNY gathering. My hubby likes to hang out there for hours for chatting with his uncle and aunt. He can just ignore the kids and let my 99 and 62 to take care of Spencer. One thing that I don't like is that they will give him anything to just keep him quiet, such as a hairspray bottle, a battery, a spoon...all these are dangerous for a kid. My mom screamed at my hubby yesterday night when she saw him giving a metal spoon to Spencer to play with. I need to explain to him a story that my mom seen 3X years ago in the hospital to let him understand how a spoon can be dangerous to young kids :-( Sometimes, I really don't understand why men can be that unsensitive to baby's safety. My hubby loves the kids but he just sometimes acts so rare for caring children.:-(

Hi, Nellie, need your help again.... these days, I'm Jackie, and just joined facebook to ask u question, but as these days I didn't have time to go internt, so get back to your question so late. hope u don't mind.

昨天,我開始有番月經!不知是否因為咁!我的奶量由5OZ跌到得2OZ知仲有無辦法令奶量增？
我現在毎日最少飲８杯水，　湯２碗。　早、午、晚餐各名1（lunch and dinner 每餐吃1碗滿的白飯!有時會吃下午茶或零食!是否足夠?
BB方面.1天５餐,5:30am, 10am, 3pm, 7pm and 10:15pm, sometimes he will go go sleep after 7pm and won't wake up until 5:30 (so that day he will only have 4 meals - this only happened once 2 days before). I afraid he eat not enough.. he is now 4 mths and weight 15.5 lbs (he was born with 6.8 lbs).

Now I am a full time mama at home and I want to do something what can help to increase my milk volumn for Alfred, can u help??? please!!

my dear.. Jackie,
deep breathe and relax.
I guess.. I have mentioned so many times, to be a breast feeding mom must at least have 12 beverages every day.. included water, soup, milk and juice. as 8 glasses of fluid for yourself, and the rest for the baby.
so you still need to work on it as you stay home.

4-5 meals for a 4 months old.. is relatively less than average.. how many ounce he takes each meal?
he is a mix breast +bottle baby or just breast baby?

For the period return.. don't struggle..
everyone experiences that once you did not feed your baby as frequent as you suppose to do.
for all 100% breast feed mom, period delay.. that happens on me and other BF mom as well.
but don't worry, many moms do BF even period return, after period finish, volume normally will resume. but again, remember, the more fluid you drink, the high chance for you to produce more milk.
from now on, if your baby is sleep, pump round the clock every 3-4 hours. even at night (if you really wanna bush up your supply again...)..
still now, I do empty my breast before bed.. and pump or skin to skin in the early morning (I do it this way because Gabriel 14 months old.. he is learning to take whole milk from bottle).. --and I do not plan to wean him off..
when Gabriel and Amanda were 4 months old, I at least fed them 6 times a day, day time more frequent, night time, they slept thru..

Jackie,
do you take the prenatal vitamin, DHA, Omega 3 pure fish oil and calcium pills? remember at the same time you wanna maintain the quatity, the quality is also important.

Thanks Nellie,
Start from now, I will drink more for BB. Yesterday just have 2 bowl of fish soup, seem a little bit more milk (after Alfred BF each side around 5 mins, still can pump out 2.5 oz), but of course I still to give him 4 oz formula).
He is a mix breast + bottle baby, and each meal is around 6oz (if formula only). On last Mon and Tue, he only eat 4 meals per day... I guess he maybe felt not comfortable as he didn't have stool. But yesterday, after stool came out, he eat every 3 hours after each meal and totally he had 6 meals (5 meals eats at least 4 oz formula and one with oonly 1 oz formual, all mixed with BF......).

I also feel that Alfred is not a big size baby, but I don't know how can I make him eat more. Every time I make him 6oz formula, he can only eat up to 4.5 oz after BF. but he need to pay a lot time first before he eat and after pay, he can finish the milk within 10 mins.

I still taking prenatal vitamin, and sometime milk and start from now, I will add afternoon tea.....
I sleep at around 12 am and before I sleep, I will pump up all milk out... hope my milk volumn will increase la..... thanks again!!!

Jackie,
each side for 5 minutes.. that is no good.. As all Alfred drinks.. just water based only.. if Alfred only can stay on breast for 10 min. I would rather suggest you to keep him on 1 side. and you completet pump out the rest.
Baby needs to stay on the same side.. for longer, so you will have more production.. that's one of the reason, your production is not enough as time of stimulation is not long enough.
by 4 months, infant normally can latch on for about 10-20 mins on the same side.
that will help you to produce more milk too.
even now... for Gabriel.. after meal, he needs skin to skin .. he will stay on the same breast at least 10 mins.. for hydration/ fulfill his comfort.

you need about 2700Kcal as you are a BF mom, to add a morning tea and afternoon tea is a good idea.

Nellie,

I don't know why, Alfred like my left breast more than the right one. He will stick on the left one longer. He can only eat the left one for around 5 minutes and then he will move his head away from my breast. Even I force him to go to my right breast again, he reject and doesn't open his mouth. But if I turn him to the left breast, then he will start eating at once.

And these days, he also can stick on my left one for more then 7 minutes. I don't know why, I know that he is still hungry, so I will give him 6 oz formula (he can finish 4-5 oz). The only way I can do is then pump out the milk left in my breasts. Any suggestion can keep Alfred eat longer on my breasts???

Jackie,
because your reservior in your breast is not enough. you really need to change your diet, do you drink milk or sou milk? also, do you drink blackberry tea?
you can review this forum from the beginning, many moms leave their way/hints to improve milk supply. If you want to have more production, you need to work on it very hard.
Children do have preference.. Gabriel loves my left breast as well.. he will take much longer on left breast.. (but he will finish both breast).. when I pump if he is in bed, there is almost 2-4oz different between my breasts.
I don't feel surprise about .. what I can do, is.. I do try to offer right breast at the beginning if left breast is not that engorge.
Try to change your diet from now, as you are stay home mom, you got time to eat better than those working BF mom.
when you BF your child, keep a bottle next to you, or even a nice cup of beverage.. that will help to remind yourself to drink.

Remember " every thing is demand and supply"
If you don't drink well and eat well, you won't have milk production
If you don't have good production, Alfred won't like to suck on the empty breast.
