Why do I always feel so tired after pumping?

Honestly, pumping is more draining than most people realise, your body is literally producing milk every 3-4 hours, which takes real energy, and that's on top of the sleep deprivation and stress of caring for a newborn. The tiredness makes total sense because your body is working hard hormonally and physically even when you're just sitting there hooked up to the machine. A mum I know who exclusively pumped for months said it's a level of exhaustion that's hard to explain to people who haven't done it, you never fully rest between sessions. That said, it's worth weighing whether the schedule is sustainable for you, because some mums push through and find a rhythm, while others find the relentless timing leads to burnout or even clogged ducts from missed pumps. Make sure you're eating enough, staying hydrated, and not being too hard on yourself, fed baby, whatever the method, is what matters most.

Day time confinement lady

Does anyone know any confinement lady just for day time can recommend?

For daytime confinement ladies, names like Peggy Koh, Auntie Siew Mei, and agencies like Seyol, Confinement Angels, and Xpress Confinement have been mentioned positively around me, some mums prefer going direct with an independent CL rather than through an agency, since it can work out cheaper and more flexible. Daytime rates generally run from around $1,600 to $3,000 for the full confinement period, with most working roughly 9am to 6pm, so do factor in whether you're comfortable managing night feeds on your own. A friend of mine found that going with an independent CL gave her more say over the daily routine, though the trade-off is there's less backup if the CL falls sick compared to going through an agency. So it really depends on how much flexibility versus security matters to you, worth weighing both sides before you commit!

Yellowish-Green Discharge

!! Contains picture of the discharge, looks slightly more greenish in real life !! Currently 34 weeks pregnant. Just recovered from bacterial infection down there @ 32weeks. Doc prescribed vaginal pessaries (to be inserted into vjj) to treat the infection. It was fine and gone for a few days, but now im having an oddly coloured discharge again with a slight smell and itch. I have been having frequent infections before and throughout pregnancy, but only got it treated once during pregnancy. I wash after every trip to the toilet but yet, I still get infections. Is this another infection? What should i do now?

Sterilising Haakaa breast pump

Is it OK to steam sterilise the pump? I'm using Dr Brown's steam steriliser and it takes about 45 minutes to complete the cycle hence not sure if it's too long as the recommended instruction is to put it in boiling water for 2-3 mins.

Inno Montessori

Has anyone come across the above-mentioned school? Any thoughts on it? It is apparently the ONLY real Montessori school in Singapore.
