The doctor you're with should have this facility in their clinic or hospital. I did mine at my doc's at Welcare Knowledge Village. Check it out with your clinic.

Thanks for sharing your side of bfeed story emanuela. Before bub was born, I took in every eat-this-and-drink-that advices from every mum I know. During my whole pregnancy, I tried to drink as much milk, eat yogurt which I was told it'll boost up more milk ducts etc. Baby popped and I still kept my calcium diet consistently... And when I realized all the food/ diet advices failed on me, I took those advices as poison to my ears. Sure it worked for most, but not me, and only two of my friends knew when to shut up and respected my decision. I hope to know more formula-feeding mums out there :)

Mine is obsessed with pointing at his father's w!!lly and shouting out "w!!lly" for everyone to hear. It is so entertaining to see my hubby's face everytime. But yes, it is normal and I say let him grow out of it....or not :) Hahaha... Can't help LOL :) <em>edited by elaineganm on 22/01/2012</em>

Thanks for sharing your thoughts ladies... am touched reading your replies and encouragement to my dilemma, I 'm teary now reading this, lol. At times I rather share my bfeed issues to strangers rather than my fountain of milk friends. I know they meant well, but most times they weren't sensitive enough and assume I didn't do enough. I guess I should take a breather from befriending them too much or until i'm ready to face them again with courage. To step up and tell them it's alright to formula feed in my case. Sobevan: Thanks for lending me your ear :) I might need it... Where do you live btw? I'm in Marina area. Slightly off topic: Are there any mum groups on sats? You see, DH works full week and with no family help (they're all back in Oz, Singapore and Malaysia) i'm only available from 6-7pm or weekends.

When I switched to another doc, I didn't tell Dr. A (was seeing her first few weeks of 1st trimester), when I didnt turn up for my next appointment, she didn't call me to find out either. So it's up to you if you feel responsible to tell her about it. I would recommend Dr Yamini at Welcare clinic (knowledge village), though she's cold in personality, she warms up after a few checkups, and is very friendly. I had emergency C-section, her stitches were perfectly sewn, it healed so well that there I was left without any scars. A job well done :)

I use both johnson&johnson baby wash and Mustela bath&shampoo on my 10 week old. no allergic reaction to them so far, but johnson products I noticed causes DD to have drier skin. So I sticked to Mustela instead. I usually sponge bath her.
