We are reusing them because we are not heating them. However, with all the advice on using glass bottles instead of plastic, we are also currently searching for glass bottles that we can used to replace these plastic cups.Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788745426293821924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141607158662459332.post-79228719866162701542008-11-11T12:03:00.000+08:002008-11-11T12:03:00.000+08:00Wah I'm so jealous.

I'm glad that both my parents and my MIL are supportive towards me fully b/feeding both kids. <BR/><BR/>It took me that long to fully recover from the De Q thingy coz I did not give the hand fully rested. So the pain keep on coming back after some time if I'm not careful enough. <BR/><BR/>Btw - where to get the sterilizing solution for the cup? Can I reuse the cup after pouring out the milk?

The cups were recommended by the nurses at the hospital. Anyway, we put them in steralising solution before using them and we do not boil and steam them, fearing the excess heat will cause ill effects. We are grateful with the advice of using glass bottles and we are already thinking of switching. Just got to get enuf of them.

My gal is a full breastfed baby too till she was 10 mths old. Like your wife, I'm also working full time. I got the De Quervain's Tendinitis when I was b/feeding my gal. So now I try to be more careful not to get it again. It took me more than half year to fully recover and can hardly carry my gal during that time. <BR/><BR/>I use the milk bottle and disposable sterilized plastic b/milk bag to store the ebm. I did not know that we can use the plastic container for it. Is it safe to sterilize?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022175527634088822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141607158662459332.post-9657774137824858662008-11-06T16:14:00.000+08:002008-11-06T16:14:00.000+08:00great job Ryan's mummy :-)great job Ryan's mummy :-)stinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998892295630026332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141607158662459332.post-61701581441191495492008-11-06T13:19:00.000+08:002008-11-06T13:19:00.000+08:00Hi, I got on your blog through RamblingMoo. Total...Hi, I got on your blog through RamblingMoo. Totally agree with breast feeding, and all the plastic/glass stuff. I breast fed both my kids too. However, I do have to advice you to put a date on each containers. There IS expiration dates (or not so fresh anymore)on these stuff too! I cannot remember how long it should be kept in the freezer/fridge, but I can go dig out my notes/books. <BR/>BTW, you can also take a couple of containers and defrost in the fridge the night before, that way it won't take as long to warm up in hot water.Jenny Tanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789020502641769778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2141607158662459332.post-37272616667985395402008-11-06T12:27:00.000+08:002008-11-06T12:27:00.000+08:00Hi Bryan's mommy and Renet.

I've got her a wrist guard as well now. It's black in colour and when she wears it, I called him ninja mom!!<BR/><BR/>To all mothers here who breastfeed, I salute you because I understand (looking at my wife) that it definitely calls for commitment and dedication, not to mention sacrifice (especially for those who are working after confinement).<BR/><BR/>And Jas, thanks for the tip. We are already on lookout for glass bottles.<BR/><BR/>To Chumpsy's mommy, yes. She is amazing. But I am sure all of you here are amazing as well. Handling work, home, big baby (hubby) and small babies and problematic baby (maid).<BR/><BR/>To all who have dropped a comment, thank you so much for encouragement, tips and advice.

The most effective way of curing this was a wrist guard which I got from a specialist at DSH, since I couldn't take medication because I was also nursing. As a result, I invested in an electronic pump for boy #2.
