calamus, my baby was 3.69 kg when he was born.
He is big since birth. Maybe it is because he sleeps more than other babies. He sleeps at 11pm and wakes at 8-9am. In the morning, he sleeps for 1-1.5hr at 11am and then sleeps for 1-1.5hr at 3:30pm. When I come back, he sleeps for 0.5hr at 8 or 9pm.
Sometimes he doesn't sleep until mid-night. He is sleeping with me and my husband. This week, he cries when he half wakes at very early hours and I comfort him by just touching and patting him. He sleeps again after a few minutes.
kalle, if your baby wakes and you BF him, I think he will get used to it and wake every night for milk. Try to just comfort him without BF him and get him to sleep again.
Sometimes my baby also cried during she sleep, and I BF her, eventhough I know that it is not a good practice, sometimes I will hug her to sleep with me, I found that If I hug her she won't cry at all, maybe I guest they just want to have our comfort. Since she is 1 month she is sleeping with us, so everytime she cry it is easy for me to take care of her.
She do wake up for milk sometimes as when I turn her aside she try to found where my nipple is and want to suck, and I also feel that if I don't feed her during sleeping time I need to pump in the early morning so I feed her during sleep.
oh you also BF her when she cries during the night? Me 2, it's the easiest way to make her sleep again. I always want to stop BF her during mid-nite and tries to just hug her but it's difficult to make her sleep deep. She would wake up again v. soon. My PD said it's really a bad habit and she might rely on it even though she grows up! It's really a dilemma.
yeah..it seems like no one care about BF now??? :-(
Right now, I only BF her when she feels annoyed in the afternoon. I've already changed to pump out and bottle feeding her at night by my helper in order for me to switch to formula later.
Poor her, she has diarrhea for many days, not sure what food caused that!
calamus,
I've 2 kids , it's also difficult to bring them around together if there's no helper around so that I can't join their function either which is always held on public holiday.
When are you planning change to formula milk, till now I still breastfeeding her. I don't know when should I change her for formula milk?
Seems she really like by sucking. sometimes she hurt me. :-(
tuchai,
why you want to switch to formula if you can BF? I want to switch becuz she's v. attached to me, maid or my hubby only. on one cant touch her even my family. Once she switch to formula, I can let my sister to take care of her for a day or two to get used to other people.
I think probably next 2 weeks when she's 7 months' old
hm..it's kind of difficult if you need to bring along your bb. How about eat a lot? a big big buffet? I tried the buffet at Parklane, v. nice and reasonable price. I like the cakes...cute and nice..and a lot of ice-cream..yummy...
I and my hubby's main function is eating!!! haaa
:mrgreen:
Dear BF mums,
I'm still breastfeeding my baby, pumping 2 times and direct feeding 2 times. But my period just comes. Is it normal? Have your period come?
It's so encouraging to see that you are still breastfeeding~ I have already changed to formula already and only bf one meal in the nighttime. And my period has come already. My doctor said that only 100% breastfeed + enough sucking will postpone M. Anyway, it's normal to have M during breastfeeding period. Don't worry, emily~
I have to plan better and store more milk for my 2nd baby. Hope can continue bf for a longer time then ~
mine hasn't come yet either ,though only direct BF in the morning and afternoon. haa..don't want period come so early since don't like the time with period, not comfortable.
calamus,
yours came so early?? I hope I don't need to see my AUNTIE until I completely stop BF. yeah..Save m巾$$ Thanks for your adice. yes, she always looks for me, when others holding her.
Noelor,
yeah..your bb is really pretty! can join the MISS HK
Thanks, noelor, tuchai & calamus. I really wish M came later. But it is really more comfortable than before.
My baby is having his 5th & 6th teeth la. Sometimes he bites my finger and it's really painful.
