Pregestimil-Hypoallergenic Formula

Last nite, I fully breastfed Isaac from 6pm til 4am. He was a bit fussy, until Anoti had to make 1oz of formula for him to suck on and later shift him to the breast. Thank God that this trick works. Up til 4am, Isaac was really fussy and refused to latch on my breast, prolly due to slow and low milk supply. As a result, both of us surrender and made him a bottle of milk. After feeding him, I brought him over to the CL room.

U heard me right, my MIL insisted that we hire another CL for 2 weeks after Isaac's full moon, mainly for 2 reasons;
a) I looked really pale and shud practise 40 days confinement.
b) Isaac is not really easy to handle, its best for the CL to take care until he is a bit bigger.

Went to the hospital to pick up Isaac's special formula this morning. I hope my baby boy will take it bcoz its bitter.




Dear Lord,

I leave it all to your hands. Protect my little baby, and free him from all illnesses. Let the Dr. find out what's wrong with him as he's been really cranky lately. I also pray that I may produce more breastmilk so that Isaac will not have to take this awful taste milk. Give me the wisdom, courage and strength to bring this baby up. Amen.

Bloody Stool

By this time, I shud be like any other mothers posting up their newborn pictures and share my birth and confinement experience. But, sunshine has made both mummy and daddy worry, in fact both of us are so stress.

Isaac has streaks of blood in his stool, it has been on going for ONE MONTH. At first Dr said its a fissure in the anus, during the next visit Dr suspected it was Soy based formula that is not suitable for him, we changed to Enfalac A+ but the problem still exist. Went to the hospital again yday, Dr said there's this possibility that Isaac is allergic to MILK, and has to take special formula. If only I could breastfeed him completely, my poor baby would not have to go through this.

I'm torn apart.....

Anyone wants to donate breast milk?

My nen-nen (milk) supply is not enough for my fussy demanding son. Its almost ONE month and the most I can pump is just 6oz, and this only happened ONCE. My daily milk supply is just 5oz (for 2 feeds), so pathetic.

Isaac boy doesnt like to latch on my breast, he prefers bottle! He will only latch on my breast in the morning and that only happens ONCE everyday. Direct breastfeeding is IMPOSSIBLE for his next feed, as he'll scream his lungs out, I tried to force him to latch on my breast, he refused to even look at the breast, scream until he turned RED.

I seriously fail big time in breastfeeding. I've tried papaya soup, fenugreek, massage, etc....but it doesnt boost my milk supply. HELP!! Else, I would have to sell my Spectra 7 pump for half price.

ARGH!

All these confinement rules are driving me nuts! Just because I had a C-Section, I was told that I SHOULD NOT use the computer bcoz sitting for too long is not good for my back and wound.

%&^*$@##$@!@^^%#@! Where on earth they learn this kinda thing!

Another 5 days to Isaac's Full Moon! Sunshine has been driving mummy and daddy up to the wall with his cries. Daddy is thinking to hire a nanny to take care of him for another 2 months. My boy is not easy to be taken care of.

Mummy (yea, don tell me how fat I am) and Sunshine

Stay tune, I pwomise I will update Sunshine's pic.

What's in my Hospital Bag?

As days draw closer, I just can't wait to meet lil' sunshine. Hence, I think its time to pack my bags. But what should I really pack? Hm...I'll show you mine and lemme know what shud be added.

1. CryoCord Kit
Dun Play Play, we payed so much for this. Can't afford to miss this out.

2. Maternity Pad

My SIL advice was to get the L O N G E S T heavy flow night use pad I could possible find in the market. Since I'm so yim chim (fussy), I don't think I'll like the hospital pad so I got myself pads which must be COTTONY SOFT plus WINGS.

SOFY has this 40.5 cm pad, I checked out all the supermarkets and could only find 35cm. :(

As for INTIMATE, the length is 33.8cm but what I like about it was its SUPER WIDE BACK PROTECTION. That's why I bought it to give it a try.

POISE is another pad that I would recommend to friends. I call this the Stand-By-Pad. It comes really useful when your water bag has broken. Just get a small pack will do. I'm sure you do not want to soak your car seat with 'baby juice'.

3. Disposable Maternity Underwear

30pcs standby!

I can imagine how messy it will be after delivery. I don't think you want to get your sexy pretty panties stained, do you?

Cotton Material with FWAWER prints. Cool or not?
I bought this in Guangzhou on March 09.

4. Nursing Bra


5. Breast Pads
Since face mask was a hit during this flu pandemic, you can replace it with N95 Face Mask! Since they look so similar.

6. Sarongs

7. Socks-2 pairs

8. Button shirts/ Front opening shirt

9. Small Towel for sponge bath

10. Fresh Clean Set of going home outfit. I'm going to bring my cap along, bcoz I don't want to look like Mother Mary. I remembered I saw one new mommy wearing baby towel like a tudung in the hospital lobby while waiting for discharged, just to avoid our body from masuk angin. Nope! I will not want to look like that.

11. Toiletries - Facial Wash, Toothbrush, toothpaste, moisturiser

12. Snacks & Energy Drink

My favorite drinks!

Friends advice: Before you go in for delivery. Drink one bottle of this. It is said to give u more energy wah...i dunno how true is this.

13. Herbs
Don't ask me bout this. It was prepared by my MIL and I know she wants me to take this after delivery.

14. Tissue Paper
According to SIL, hospital provide very low quality tissue paper or toilet roll. Its best to bring our own soft tissue to wipe our sore *ahem*.

15. Music
Its for sunshine. Just wanna get him something familiar, sense of security. Disc 1 is his favorite.

16. Baby's Bag - booties, mittens, towels, bodysuits, towel, disposable diapers.

15. Last But Not Least, ANOTI !!
How can I not bring him along. He'll be the one who is going to prepare the gadgets like camera, viewcam, handphone charger.
