Playpen is all ok and ready to go!



Ak decide to take a look at the playpen that was delivered.. it was more complicated then we thought..keke.. but, it is finally up! cost us 100 sgd.. size is 28" x 48".. bigger then normal..

Hearing lots of stories now.. the most worrying one is: if want to breastfeed baby, and opt for total breastfeeding, but baby is impatient type and yells for food, and no milk yet initially, the crying is really stressful... how how?? aiyoh.. so stressed!!

Some friends recommend that i supplement initially if 1st two weeks not so good and baby is still learning to latch on.. and to supplement only after attempting BF on both breasts and baby still hungry..

life ahead looks tough manz....... and what with all the nonsense about no bathing & washing hair during confinement.. sigh..

usu, if opt for TBF & bb can't latch on or dun get enuff BM, jus relent & let bb take FM... it shld be ok, as per wat i heard... dun insist on 100% BF, which may cause bb hunger...

Yo! Dun stress. Baby will not cry or yell loudly when hungry immediately one. Gotta look out for signs of hunger like sticking out tongue quietly. Better feed immediately and bb will not cry at all :) Then no stress :) If let bb yell for milk a few times, next time bb will yell immediately for milk, without giving quiet signs of hunger...
I supplemented FM first 2 weeks n not much stress. hee... but I cried once cos MS not enough...
