Dear Nillie_Mami, got it!
唔洗洗塵, 見面傾下計己經好開心啦. 到NY一定去探你.
我最近遇到一個問題, 姑娘話Isaac overweight. His information is as follow :
Age : 4 months
Weight : >120 percentile (9 kg)
Height : >90 percentile
Head circumference : > 90 percentile

約了今個星期六見健康院醫生, 但我覺得Isaac食奶不多, His schedule is as follow :

06:00 - Breast feed (one side for 15 mins.), then he fell into sleep.
07:00 - Breast feed ( another side for ~15 mins.)
12:30 - 100mL (pumped milk from stock)
15:00 - ~100mL (pumped milk from stock)
17:15 - Formula 120mL
20:00 - BF both side (around 15 mins. each side), then sleep through the nite).

But on last Sat. it is so weird. I only can bf him 5 mins. each time and took 40mL formula during the whole day. He refused to eat, but didn't look like hungry and never cry for milk. Should I feed him on demand or we (my maid and myself) should feed him every 3-4 hours regardless his will?
My maid gives him formula or mother milk whenever he can't sleep well ...or has hard time falling into sleep. I feel that it is not right...but Isaac does seem sleep better....could you please give me some adivces on this? Thanks again....you are so sweet.

hiuyeeyee,
if you catch a cold, you definitely need to BF Alvin, go to visit your OB and get prescription medication if offered. you are fine to take Tylenol, Motrin, no problem even you BF..
as you got sick and you are the care giver, the way to prevent you to spread the germs to Alvin is to BF him, as from the breast milk, there will be all the antibody to protect Alvin to get the illness from you.
Also, if Alvin did catch the germs from you, once he sucks on your nipple, (germs in his saliva) will send the message to your nipple, and your nipple will send the message to your brain then, your body will produce antibody to have Alvin to fight with the cold and flu. So, you can see, even BF baby may catch a cold /flu, they recover so soon.. not like the bottle only baby.
as you just catch a cold/ flu, that is a virus, I don't know what your OB can prescribe to you. unless you get bronchitis. Even you have Bronchitis, OB will prescribe the anti-biotics which you can still BF your baby. if you have hesitate.. Give me the name of med which your OB prescribe for you.. I will check it and make sure.. Don't worry.
and again.. congratulation!
We will come up to Queens, small gathering with moms in Queens, if you get this message tonight, call me at morning to noon time, we can come and make a short visit.. also I can give you a quick check up on you and Alvin.

Nellie,

我的bb在5月2日出世, 只有5lbs4oz. (39 weeks) 我只用母乳餵她, 但她差不多每4小時才吃一次奶, 而不是書上說的每2-3小時(for newborn babies). 妳說我應該擔心嗎?

另外我在hospital租了個breastpump, 但每次只得幾滴, 有沒有什麼方法呢?

thank you so much!!

你不用放棄，你不理多少ＰＵＭＰ照ＰＵＭＰ３０分鐘，我有時開頭只有少少，不過照ＰＵＭＰ過多１０多分鐘就開始多奶，你可以二小時ＰＵＭＰ一次，之後二小時ＢＢ飲一次, BB四小時飲一次, 多咗你就可以PUMP出來啦!! 我是用電 BB四小時飲一次, 多咗你就可以PUMP出來啦!! 我是用電的PUMP奶機都不錯多咗你就可以PUMP出來啦!! 我是用電的PUMP奶機都不錯呀!! 你可以試吓用. (為了BB我哋加油呀!!)

Hi Nillie_Mami,

I'm a Los Angeles Mom and I don't write in this forum often. I know you're a RN and breast feeding mother. I need some help and support on the breast feeding.

My second baby was born on May 15, 7lb. 5 oz. Everything's fine. When he's 4 days old, we brough him to see his pediatrician for the regular check up. The pedi said his face was a bit yellow, so he ordered a blood test for jaundice. The report said that baby's bilirubin level was 18. The pedi called me and asked me to STOP b/feeding and feed formula until the level has dropped to like 12. I did some research and found out that it's very unwise to stop b/feeding if baby has jaundice. I even called the lactation specialist in the hospital, where I delivered my baby, to seek help. The book and the lactation specialist said that I should keep on b/feeding because the level would go down in a certain period of time eventually. So, I continued to b/feed. The next day, we had another blood test for baby and the level had gone to 17. I continued to b/feed and the 3rd blood test came up to 18 again. The pedi reminded me again and again to STOP b/feeding because we had to make the blood level go down rapidly. He doesn't prefer to do a phototherapy, so he asked me to stop b/feeding and give him formula so as to lower the blood level. Yesterday, we had the 4th blood test and the level went down to 15. The pedi still asked me not to b/feed. Today, we had the 5th blood test and I'm still waiting for the result. Being not able to b/feed my baby makes me feel really sad, frustrated and depressed. B/milk is the best food for baby and I just can't nurse him. I cry and cry. My husband doesn't really understand why I feel so frustrated.

Yesterday, I brought my baby to the breastfeeding connection support group in a women's club. Met the lactation consultant, nurse and dietitian, and of course a number of nursing mothers. They all don't understand why my pedi had to ask me to stop b/feeding. A few moms also had jaundice babies and their pedis still asked them to continue b/feed, and if they had to be under phototherapy, the moms could pump milk and bring it to the baby.

It's been 2 days since I stopped b/feeding my baby. I'm not a person who gives up easily. I'd love to resume b/feed my baby after his blood level has dropped to a certain point. I've even brought an electric pump and pump milk every 3 hours, so as to maintain my milk supply.

I would like to ask:
1. Is it enough if I pump my milk every 3 hours? Every time I am able to pump to about 2 to 3 oz (both breasts, so it's like 1 to 1.5 oz. on each breast.)
2. I'm so afraid that baby would forget how to suck my nipple when I b/feed him again. If this is so, do I need to nurse him more often so as to practise on the sucking again?
3. Do I need to nurse him like every 2 hours to increase my milk supply?
4. I always think I'm right on keeping on b/feeding when baby has developed jaundice. Is that true?

My elder son was breastfed for 26 months and I had no problem nursing him. I never expected I would be advised to stop b/feeding this time. It's very frustrating!!!!

Kindly reply. Thanks so much.

准mami感冒的食療偏方

this is a wonderful website, I quote it from
http://www.shucian.com/phpbb/viewthread.php?tid=12956&extra=page%3D8
俗语说得好，“常喝萝卜白菜汤，不用郎中开药方”，这两种蔬菜在感冒初期服用，效果很好，平时多食更有好处。
准妈咪是最害怕感冒的人群之一，感冒病毒在怀孕早期会对胚胎造成伤害，若再伴有高热，其危害更是令人担忧。更让准妈咪难受的是，感冒后还不能随便吃药。这几种姜茶均需趁热服用，然后盖被，出微汗，最好能够睡上一觉，有助于降低体温，缓解头痛。
　　
　　无论采取哪种方法，其要旨均在于多喝水，多排尿。这样，身体新陈代谢所产生的废物就可以及时排出体外，使身体经常处于一种“干净”的状态，有助于抵抗感冒病毒的侵袭。

下面就介绍几种治疗感冒的食疗小偏方：
萝卜白菜汤

用白菜心250克，白萝卜60克，加水煎好后放红糖10-20克，吃菜饮汤。

菜根汤

白菜根3片，洗净切片，加大葱根7个，煎汤加白糖趁热服。
　　萝卜汤

白萝卜150克切片，加水900毫升，煎至600毫升，加白糖5克，趁热服一杯，半小时后再服一杯。
　　米醋萝卜菜

萝卜250克，米醋适量，萝卜洗净切片，用醋浸一小时，当菜下饭。
　　姜橘皮姜片茶

橘皮生姜各10克，加水煎，饮时加红糖10-20克。
　　姜蒜茶

大蒜、生姜各15克，切片加水一碗，煎至半碗，饮时加红糖10-20克。
　　姜糖饮

生姜片15克，3厘米长的葱白3段，加水50克煮沸加红糖。

HI！我個bb十月出世，我諗住餵人奶。

我有幾個問題想問吓。。。

我會嘗試盡量埋身餵，不過我相信有時都會有用奶樽嘅需要。請問breastpump有邊隻唔太貴又好用？我睇過有隻Medela HarmonyManualBreastpump，好似幾ok，唔知有冇媽咪用過？

另外係奶樽。。。我聽人講如果餵人奶期間用普通奶樽，咁bb就會變懶，唔肯再埋身餵。我見到呢隻The First Year BreastflowBottle，係模仿餵人奶，都好似好好，不過又見有d人話佢唔係BPA free ...... 其實係唔係BPAfree嘅奶樽好d呢？不過有BPA free嘅又冇呢個款。。。

究竟我需要買幾多個奶樽呢？1-2個夠唔夠，因為如冇意外我都會盡量埋身餵。d奶樽同breastpump要點洗？係咪一定要sterilize？pump出嚟嘅人奶，放雪櫃orfreezer(defrost後)，到俾bb飲時要唔要坐熱？

唔好意思bb未出世就咁多問題，不過我唔想買好多唔等駛嘅accessories晒錢晒地

問多一樣，美國有冇紗巾賣，之前同我表妹傾，佢話美國應該冇，佢話因為澳洲都冇。其實我都唔係好知紗巾係咩樣同係咩嚟，如果美國係有嘅話，英文會係叫咩名？

紅紅 ,

Congratulations! Do you know if it's a boy or girl? Where in US you are living now? I live in San Francisco, CA and I had moved to here since 2004.
Good to know that you have decided to breastfeed.
In US, you can receive a lot of support from hospital and other moms’ clubs.

Regarding your questions: -

I use Medela Pump in Style which is an electric pump which pumps quite fast and I have used it for 2 babies already.
My company provides Medela Lactina which is also an electric pump of hospital grade.
It works really for me but it costs over $1000 hence I did not buy one at home.
Luckily, my company provides it free at the workplace.
I don’t have to bring my own pump to work.
Are you working now?
Would you go back to work after delivery?
If you would go back to work, I would suggest you to buy an electric pump as it take longer for pumping if you use a manual pump.
Also, you may need to pump a lot of times each day at the beginning to establish milk production.
Using a manual pump may tire you out, especially that you can have waist pain easily (which is called new mother symptom, it usually caused by holding babies or holding the pump for a long time with a fixed pose).
Medela Pump in Style costs around $280 new in retail.
You can consider a cheaper version, Medela Swing which costs $150 but I don’t know how good it is.
I just heard from other BK moms using it, saying it’s good also.
You can consider buying it from ebay or rent one from the hospital or borrow one from friend.
But remember that you need to buy a new set of parts (including shields, connectors, tubes and collection bottles).

Not every baby has the same situation on nipple confusion.
My son did not; he took both breastfeeding and bottles.
But, my daughter prefers only my nipples and she refused to take bottle at the beginning.
We tried Dr. Brown, Evenflo and finally The First Year BreastFlow and it worked for her.
I really recommend it to mom who wants to both breastfeed and bottlefeed.
Yes, the only concern is that it’s not BPA-free.
Of course, if you use BPA-free bottle, it’s the best.
You can consider another brand called Adiri which is BPA-free and it’s very soft, designed for baby whose does not take bottle.
It’s available in Babiesrus, Lullaby Lane, Diapers.com, Whole Food Market, Citikids… You can check its official website for details http://www.adiri.com I tried it for my daughter but she’s not really like it.

At the beginning, you can buy 2-3 4oz bottles as you would like to skin to skin first.
Once your baby’s willing to take that particular brand of bottle and eats more, you can get some 8oz one.
For Adiri, there’s only 1 volume size but different stage according to the age of the baby.

To clean the bottles and breastpump, you should sterilize it before the first usage.
Then, you don’t need to always boil them in hot water (particularly for products with BPA).
I rinse the bottle and breastpump parts with a little bit of mild soap and warm water.
If the water you used is too hot, it would break down the plastic.
You can use steam bag to sterile the utensils in microwave.
It takes only a few minutes.

For milk, if you are planning to use it soon, you can put it in the refrigerator (not freezer) then you don’t need to wait for it defrosted.
But, if you want to store it for a longer time for later use, you should put it right the way in the freezer.
Take it out from the freezer and put it in the 1st shelf of the refrigerator to defrost at least 24 hours before use.
Once it’s defrosted, you have 48 hours to use it.
Put the milk storage bag or bottle in a glass of hot water and warm it up to room temperature.
Do not boil it or put it in microwave as it would cause hot spots which may burn the baby’s mouth.

美國冇紗巾賣，my friend has tried to find some for me before but she could not find any.
Finally, she found it available in Canada but it’s really expensive.
I told my sister to mail some for me from HK instead.
紗巾 is a wash cloth which is thin and looks like linen but it becomes very soft after soaking in the water.
Therefore, it is particularly good to use it to wipe baby’s face, body.
I use it even as bib when my babies were young and I still use it to give them baths.
Actually, you can use it for a long time.
My sister still uses it for her 6-year-old son to wipe his face when they go out.
In US, there’re wash cloth, burping cloth but they are not the same as 紗巾.
If you have friends and relatives in HK, you better ask them to look for it and mail it to you.

Feel free to ask any questions here and we are happy to share our experience with you.

紅紅,
it depends you are going to be a working mom or stay home mom, as you are going to be 100% breast feed mom, manual is a pain on the neck depends on how much you rely on it.
I had my Avent ISIS manual, it works great, however too tried to pump 15 min on each side.. while Gabriel sleeps so good and I have very bad engorgement.
So, I took out my medela pump in style advance.. that save my hands.. Thanks god!
I would rather suggest you to buy an electric single pump if you want to keep it as long run.. I still BF Gabriel and he is 18 months old this June!
about the bottle, don't buy a lot, better buy 1 only, the problem is.. you don't know if your infant agrees to take it.
tell you something, I got 11 brands of bottle and nipples at my basement, half mailed from hk (bk moms sent them to us because Gabriel refused to take the brand in US), we tried the first year as well. but it doesn't work.
End up, one day.. Amanda puts her bottle into Gabriel's mouth and he sucks it.. (we have never tried Avent because we don't want them to use the same brand, for hygiene reason). But end up, we let Gabriel to use Avent as well.
Now I had the bottle museum in my basement.
about the milk storge, go thru the message in this forum.. all moms asked similar questions before, and I have replied for a few time.. the information is very detail here.
about the cloth.. you can't get it anyway else in US.. ask your family or friends to mail it to you from hk.
if you live in NYC, I can give you a few, not much. they are new.

想請教下各位媽咪, 我囡囡 Kaitlyn 出世差唔多 4 星期了, 一路我都係俾 breastmilk 佢飲而唔係直接埋身餵, 因為由佢出世第一日埋身餵 D 姑娘都話 BB 唔夠力啜奶, 係醫院 3 日每日 D 姑娘都黎教我同示範我睇點樣 BF 但 Kaitlyn 都係唔夠力啜次次唔夠 2 mins 就訓著, 點搞佢都唔願啜, 但一擺低佢係床就喊, 結果姑娘提議要用 formula 餵, 到出院後都嘗試過好多次 BF 但都唔成功搞到我同 Kaitlyn 都好累所以放棄轉全泵泵晒出黎 bottle 餵一直到宜家, 但間唔中都會埋身餵睇下有冇進展, 唔得要補泵奶, 但問題黎啦, 呢幾日發覺每次一谷親奶乳房就會覺得刺痛, 仲會摸到一舊舊好似硬塊咁既野 (但我次次都泵到孔房軟晒), 乳頭興興地同痕痕地, 每次泵完奶後仲會現 D 白色一點點既野出黎喺乳頭上頭, 初初以為係奶焦冇理, 但今日好奇上網搵資料, 覺得個徵兆似係 candida, 仲話 BB 可能感染到既話條脷係會白色既, 我睇過佢脷仔真係有白色一點點好似脷苔咁既野, 我好驚呀唔知會唔會 harm 到我個女, 所以想問下我應該點做? 同埋係咪一定要去睇 pedi dr 呀? 咁 D 泵奶係咪唔可以食啦?
