FollowFor first time mothers the road of breastfeeding can be smooth sailing or more like walking on water. The right breast pump can be a key player in this, as it affects milk supply, flexibility in feeding schedule and overall breastfeeding success! As baby products now standing on shelves in stores are overwhelming due to their different abilities.…

The Downs Of Breastfeeding
Desperate times call for desperate measures… when all other distractions fail to keep Baby still on her highchair during milk time (fed through spoon-feeding), I will always give her the remote control. Whether it’s the Astro, TV, DVD player or dining table light remote control, that wonderful gadget can surely keep her still for at…
Got To Dig Out My Breast Pump Soon
Low Fat Or Full Cream?
Each time I drink low fat milk or eat low fat yoghurt, my mil and well-meaning relatives would be commenting that I should not be consuming low fat dairy products since I am breastfeeding exclusively. They tell me that I should be eating full cream dairy products so that my milk would be thicker, thus fills Baby…
When Do You Start Feeding Your Baby Solids?
I am still undecided when to start feeding Baby C solids. With Alycia, I started feeding her porridge at 6 months and Sherilyn, around 7-8 months. I am thinking of delaying feeding Baby C solids until she’s at least 8 months or even longer. Here are some excerpts from kellymom.com (an exclusive site for breastfeeding…
Breast Is The Best
It’s been 2 weeks since Sherilyn’s chicken pox attack and Baby C hasn’t been bitten by the CP virus yet and I think I can safely say that she has passed the contagious period and will be spared from getting CP, well at least for now, for as long as she’s drinking my milkie. That’s one of the…
Sexy Breastfeeding Top
This is the spaghetti strap top that’s specially designed for breastfeeding mums. I bought it from The Baby Loft shop on Sunday. I’ve never seen such clothing for nursing mums before and was really impressed with the design. Just below the strap, there is a detachable hook. Once the hook is unfastened, the outer part of…
Choke Whilst Nursing
Baby C tends to choke when I nurse her lately. My confinement lady (who was once a midwife) says that it’s because my milk supply has increased, thus the choking. I think it’s quite true coz this did not happen at the early stage when I started to breastfeed her. Lately, my milk supply has increased and she…
Milkmaid Tea
Bought this Milkmaid Tea from The Baby Loft on Sunday. Have been diligently drinking this tea for the past 3 days and I must say that the result is quite amazing. Yesterday, I was able to breastfeed Baby C exclusively the whole day, yay! Today, I still haven’t touched her formula yet and I am confident…
Mummy’s Milk Is The Best
3 ounces of milk in under 15 minutes…. not bad huh? That’s how much milk I can express out yesterday. Hopefully the supply will increase in days to come. I must thank Barb once again for this wonderful Avent ISIS manual breast pump. It sure feels better than the Medela electric breast pump that I…
Drunken Baby
After reading Vien’s post on her drunk Cassie, I thought I want to post one on my own drunk Cassie. Yes, our gals have the same name – Cassandra! This is how Baby C normally looks after a session of mummy’s milkie…… The content smile…. and a drunken look… But the moment Baby C is…
Baby C @ Day 16
That’s Cassandra at day 15 and day 16 Baby C’s legs are very thin, they were even thinner at birth, just like skin wrapped round her bones. Sherilyn even commented yesterday that baby C’s legs are like ‘chicken legs’, how very right she was in her description, LOL! I’ve been nursing Cassandra all day and…
