Boy needs to stop breastfeeding

Hi, i need some tips.. My boy is 1year old now, and he directly latch breastfeed.and yes he is so clingy with me. I really want to start looking for a job & hopefully send him off to playgroup once he's 18months. Alternatively im starting to give him goat milk chocolate flavor in a training cup as he hates bottle milk . But sigh he still wanna latch any ideas how to get him to stop latching? #breastfeed #breastfeedbabies #Oneyearold #advicepls

hi based on my experience, you just cant let go of that tell slowly, maybe you can use the ‘whining with love’ method tell your child he should stop breastfeeding, try to start reducing the duration of breastfeeding example: today breastfeeding 4x in a day, tomorrow 3x the next day 2x and if your child starts to whine, distract him and give him plenty of healthy snacks so he doesn't get hungry easily Good luck!

3 month old stool (mixed feeding)

Hi, would you guys know if this kind of stool is normal for mixed-feeding baby? My baby is 3 months old and she’s on bm during the day (latch/bottle) and 120ml Enfamil formula during the night (about twice from 12am-6am). I change her diaper every 2-3hrs whether it’s full or not so on average 7-9 diaper change daily. She poops once every 2-3 days, quite a concern for me actually. And her stool consistency is always like this. I’m not sure if this is normal? Is it the food I eat? Cause I eat almost everything (guilty🙋🏻‍♀️). Could it be the formula? Should I change? Any advice? 🥺 #1stimemom #firstbaby #breastfeed Many thanks in advance! ❤️🥰

hi! when my daughter was 2 months old she used to poop like this too and was on mixed feeding both fm n ebm. seen PD and recommended to change fm brand n temporary to stop giving ebm to see milk intolerance. true enough it was due to milk brand. previously tried dumex dulac n dumex mamil gold. then PD recommended similac total comfort, now 3 yrs old taking similac stage 3 (no need total comfort) hope this helps

Hi all! Can I eat durian and raw sashimi while breastfeeding? Tia!

#durian#breastfeed#sashimi

Hi its the season of durian! I just consume it yesterday like 3-4 seeds. But in moderation, it can make your throat dry so drink up more. As for sashimi, i wouldn’t risk it.

Hi Mummy, Any recommendation for nursing bra ? With steel or without steel better ? Thanks #nursingbra #breastfeed

hey mummy, i read somewhere that if your breast is large, better to have underwire support.. but it all depends on comfort really. why not try both?

When will milk supply be established and after that is there still chance to increase? I latch my boy in the day and at night I pump. But the amount I pump out is still very little. How can I increase? Appreciate any advice. #pleasehelp #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls #breastfeed

Super Mum

Hi there, It’s never too late to increase your supply. Since it’s demand and supply, the way to increase your supply is to pump and empty your breasts more frequently. You can also try supplements like fenugreek and lactation cookies.
