Breastfeeding / Re: How long did you brestfeed?/extended breastfeeding (12mos&beyond)
« on: March 16, 2012, 08:45:11 pm »
@jorhen: try to adjust your position. baka kaya ka nasasaktan dahil yung position mo is for a small child. mas malaki na ngayon ang baby mo kaya dapat mag-adapt rin ang position sa size para hindi ka masaktan. 
exactly 46 months na kami ng baby ko kahapon. i dunno when he's stopping kahit sabi niya e kaunti na lang daw. nighttime feedings na lang kami lagi. or sometimes in the mornings kapag trip niya.

Toilet Training and Diapering Essentials / Re: paano kung mag-poo poo si baby sa mall?
« on: January 18, 2012, 07:16:09 pm »
naku wala ako paki sa bumabawal na maghugas sa lababo unless malinis ang toilet bowls nila at may tabo sila. sige at ipahuli na nila ako sa pulis. hehe! nililinis ko naman mabuti si baby bago ko gamitin yung lababo. CR kaya yun, anong ineexpect nila? trabaho naman nila maglinis no. actually kahit nga sabunin ko pa ng ilang beses, ang hirap talaga matanggal ng amoy, lalo na kapag naka-diaper kasi naupuan na nila kaya medyo dumikit na sa skin nila di ba? e paano pa kung hindi sasabunin at huhugasan. exclusively breastfed pa ang baby ko and never sya nagformula kaya hindi ganun kabaho ang poop kaya partida pa yan ha.
hindi ko rin naman ginagamit ang lababo kung nakakadiri na sya to start with. anyways, palagi rin ako may dalang plastic spray with water inside. ang pangsabon ko is california baby diaper area wash >> hands down ako dito. isang sabunan lang wala ng amoy. organic pa sya. i use it only when we're out kasi medyo may kamahalan sya. pero kahit ito lang at wipes, hindi na amoy poop kahit idikit mo pa ang ilong mo sa skin ni baby.
hindi po ako endorser nito ha.
lately, potty trained na ang anak ko. kaya nagsasabi na sya. at hindi na rin kami nagdadiaper para tipid. atsaka mas nakakatagal ng potty training kung balik ka ng balik ng diaper e. di pa naman kami natyempuhan na magpoop sya sa mall. pero sa airport before (MIA), nagpoop sya. buti na lang at may bidet. kaso ang nakakahiya ang laki ng poop niya masyado. ayaw lumubog. e ang dami pa namang tao. kaya paglabas ko ng cubicle sabi ko sa kasunod, pasensya na ayaw lumubog e.

Getting Pregnant / Re: OB GYNE horror stories (pls see Mod's note on 1st post)
« on: January 17, 2012, 04:41:38 am »
kailangan talaga ang makuha mong ob ay merong care for patients. otherwise, peperahan ka lang talaga. mas madali kasi talaga ang CS dahil naka-schedule compared to normal na hinihintay hintay pa kahit iinduce mo na. nakakainip yun for them. and of course the pf is better. much better siguro if you would choose one who advocates for normal deliveries kahit na hindi pa breastfeeding advocate basta normal delivery advocate.
so far, wala naman ako horror stories sa mga naging ob ko. i had 2 before - para may 2nd opinion kapag in doubt. sa mga ob interns lang. mataas ang pain tolerance ko kaya wala ako care sa IE. kapag nasaktan ako siguro super sakit na talaga nung pag-IE sa kin. there's this one intern na ang tanong sa kin kung lalaki daw ba ang ipinagbubuntis ko, sabi ko oo. ay kaya daw pala madami akong pimples.
kung di lang ako nakatali sa fetal monitor sinakal ko na. and the other one is during delivery na nagsabing hindi pa ba magpapa-epidural yan. coz i was already in labor at the time and i chose not to have an epidural and that is already the nth time na may narinig ako about epidural (asking/offering) since i got there - sumigaw ako ng "hindi nga, eh!" 
well, hanggang sa manganak ako wala ng nagtanong. bwahahaha!
mind you, epidurals are greatly offered din next to CS kasi may PF din ang anesthesiologist - baka may kickback din sila for referring their friend anesth. i dunno.
first pregnancy ko was in a hospital. next time maglying in na lang ako para sureball either wala or minimal lang ang medical intervention. malilimutin na talaga ako kaya imagine kung nagpa-epidural pa ako. and i only chose to give birth in a hospital kasi hindi ko pa alam kung paano ako manganak. mukhang kaya ko naman sa lying-in e. sana nga sa bahay na lang e kaso di ko sure kung kaya kong ma-sterilize ang bahay namin bago ako manganak.

^basta andun na yung signs. kapag sinabi nyang pupu, itakbo mo na sya agad sa potty seat or sa banyo kahit pa hindi na kayo umabot. also, when you wiwi or pupu, ipapakita mo rin sa kanya habang sinasabi kung ano ang ginagawa mo. slowly, magegets na nila yun.

FAQs and Common Pregnancy Concerns / Re: Anmum Vs. Enfamama
« on: November 27, 2011, 05:42:34 am »
I drink cold Anmum Vanilla before. Never got to try another one. Wala akong gusto sa kanila. I don't like to drink milk. But for my baby - parang balot, lunok na lang ng lunok.

Breastfeeding / Re: breastfeeding moms, kamusta naman kayo nung nag iipin na si baby?
« on: November 23, 2011, 10:36:34 am »
^ sis, wag mo tiisin. you need to train your baby not to bite. this is one of my major concerns during the first few months i was breastfeeding.
there are only 2 reasons i know of why babies bite while breastfeeding. teething and playing.
before naman sila magbite, you will know if they are going to bite. nag-iiba kasi ang facial expression when they are about to bite. well, that is, if you are watching your baby when nursing. you can stop them before they get to bite you.
kung hindi naman mapigilan, kasi hindi ko rin naman pinapanood ang baby ko magbreastfeed the whole time, try not to scream. kasi if ma-trauma your baby from your screaming, it could cause a nursing strike. they won't nurse from you for a time.
if baby bites or is about to bite, give him a teether. cold ones are better or a wet towel to bite on. after this, once baby asks to nurse again, he doesn't bite anymore.

42 months and still counting. Although I am already seeing signs of self-weaning so I'm almost done I guess. *sniff*

Breastfeeding / Re: about sharing, donating and buying breastmilk
« on: November 22, 2011, 04:22:20 am »
If i had more time, I would definitely donate more milk. I could only do so for relatives and friends. I was able to direct feed my nephew one time because we were in another car and SIL is in another car and we were stuck in an unexpected traffic.

Toilet Training and Diapering Essentials / Re: Potty training
« on: November 16, 2011, 06:59:48 pm »
There are signs to know if the kid is ready. Once you see those signs in your child, saka pa lang usually nagi-start ng potty training. Problem kasi when the signs aren't there yet, mas matatagalan ang potty training.
Had I only known about elimination communication, di na sana ako nag-diaper pa. sayang lang late ko na sya nalaman. maybe for the next baby, if meron.

Breastfeeding / Re: Hindi na pantay boobs ko
« on: November 16, 2011, 02:47:20 pm »
uneven din ang boobs ko before kasi nauna mas preferred ng baby ko ang right side. di naman obvious kung hindi ako magpa-plunging na top. basta, i kept on offering yung ayaw niya kapag medyo relaxed na sya until nakasanayan na rin niya magfeed sa left. pero usually, mas preferred niya pa rin ang right. siguro kasi mas malakas.
keep on pumping and offering the smaller side. kapag relaxed sya or nakakatulog na or nagcocomfort nursing na lang, be on the smaller side. ang importante, ma-stimulate sya continuously para di tumigil gumawa ng milk. may friend ako same din kayo. isang side na lang sya nag-feed dahil nagka-mastitis din sya at inayawan na yung other side. keber lang sa tabingi. aesthetic lang naman yan boobs. when you're done with nursing, papantay din naman ulit yan.
ang totoong problem dyan e maghanap ng bra with different cup sizes! LOL! joke lang. pinatatawa lang kita.

Breastfeeding / Re: exclusive breastfeeding, how do you handle your personal/social life?
« on: November 16, 2011, 02:12:03 pm »
di naman completely nawawala ang social life. kung walang friends na may babies, e di maghanap! hehe! there are support groups for breastfeeding moms. you can meet up with other breastfeeding moms there and bond. new friends di ba? or kita-kita tayo. mas maganda rin kasi if you have the same interests. at least if there is that same interest, we can be almost sure na mag-jive kayo ng new friends mo.

Wellness / Re: How to lose this weight?
« on: October 12, 2011, 04:48:30 am »
i used to be underweight. i gained 30 lbs. (max) when i got pregnant. i got to lose it easily after a year of breastfeeding naman. nakabalik naman ako to my prepregnancy weight. with a bonus pa na bigger boobs since i was breastfeeding. pero lately bumalik na rin sa original cup size. my kid is now 41 months and he is slowly weaning from breastfeeding kaya eto lahat na lang ng parte ng katawan ko lumaki na pero ang cup size naiwan. 20 lbs. na ang na-gain ko ulit. hindi po ako buntis 
.
kaya dapat na akong bumalik ngayon sa pagworkout para mabawasan ng taba. hindi ko afford magpalit ng buong wardrobe if this gaining continues.
