Congratulations on the arrival of baby Katie! Hope everything is going well with your recovery. Take care, and be sure to get lots of rest yourself (when you can). Oh, and enjoy those newborn sleeping fests while they last - they are over WAY too quickly in my opinion. (We now creep around the house holding our breath, in order to prolong baby Graham's naptimes.)

Congratulations cxflygirl on the arrival of your newborn girl. Hope all is well and you are enjoying motherhood.
I think most of you here on this forum are first time mums whilst I am a second time mum. 20mth old toddler is ok with his little sister at most times but do cling onto either my or my hubby when she cries - I guess this is jealously eh?
Edwina - I am able to breastfeed well and it is so much easier without having to pump in advance and warm the milk up when my baby is screaming with hunger. No more cracked or sore nipples!

Thanks bbvv really enjoying it at the moment but find breastfeeding a bit difficult. When I brought her home I started expressing and feeding via a bottle of course when I told my doctor he was shocked. I think partly i knew how much I was feeding her after yesterday i started putting her back on the breast she only feeds max 20 mins or sometimes only 10 mins.. hard to know what the norm is. Reading contented little baby book and it said you should try feeding 30 min I cant as she just falls asleep.
At the moment I have a chinese confinement nanny who is helping during the day and that has been useful so that I can get some rest.
Is anyone finding feeding difficult?

Florence,
I live out in Tung Chung just want to know which stop I get off on the MTR and is it easy to get to your place from the MTR station. If it is I would be interested and how many classes are there?
Vivienne - that's great, so glad to hear that your poor nipples have recovered and that you are breastfeeding well. It's just the initial stage that's so teeth-gritting, isn't it? Once the nursing routine is established (for me, it was around the 4 week mark), then bubs can latch any which way and it doesn't seem to hurt. (Mine also has this naughty habit of twisting his head with nipple in mouth when he's almost done so it's stretched like elastic! And even though it looks nasty, even that doesn't hurt!!)
Cxflygirl - I don't think everyone needs to nurse for 30 mins. It depends on how fast your let-down is and how fast your milk flows, and of course how fast your baby can drink. With mine, he's quite a fast feeder and can drain my breast in about 10 mins. (I try to keep him at it for 15 mins if possible at each feed.) I'm told I have a quick letdown as it only takes me 10 mins to drain a breast while pumping (I can pump about 100 ml from one breast when it's full/engorged.)
I think the important thing is that your baby looks fulfilled after nursing - and of course, that she is gaining weight steadily.

Dear all March Moms, how are you all?
I gave birth to Evana on March 21st in Sanatorium via C-section. My water burst the day bfore, but I wasn't dilated at all, so after waiting for a whole day, we decided it was best that we pull her out via C. I totally understand those days of cracked, bleeding nipples.. but glad that my breasts are more used to the sucking and pumping.
Can't believe in 1 week, Evana will be 1 month. I followed this Chinese tradition of keeping the baby home, but would like to take her out now that she is 1 month. Does anyone fancy a baby-mommy gathering?
