Hi Ms. Abigail! My baby is 9 months old via C-section. I have an inverted nipples. Tried latching the baby after birth pero unsuccessful. Partly din na di ko siya maskin to skin and malatch kasi laging may visitor (husband's family) kahit nabangit ko sakanya na ayaw ko tlga ng visitor and nabangit ko na din sa side ng family ko, na ayaw ko ng visitor. Kaya kahit gusto ko nasa tabi ko ang mother ko, di ko siya pinapunta, to be fair on both side. Eto po yung kinakastress ko up to now. Maganda po ang pagsuck ni baby since birth pero di ko po siya malatch kaya nagpump po ako. I think lumabas po ang milk ko after 2 weeks pero mga 5 to 20mL lang. Tnry ko po siya ilatch ng ilatch pagkauwi and successful naman po ako sa pagkatach sakanya after 1 month. Nakakapagbreastfeed po ako directly around 30 to 40mins. Then suddenly po naiyak na siya. Parang wala po siyang nakkuhang milk. Pinagsabay ko po ang BF and then after po ay pumping and nakakauha po ako ng hanggng 30mL. Hanggng nagkangipin siya ng 6 months. Tinatangihan niya na si breast. This time po nakakakuha ako ng around 30 to 100mL na milk through full time pumping. Pero never po siya nagincrease. Then nagkasakit po ako recently. Nagdip yung supply ko. nakakakuha na lang ako ng 30mL then MOTNP, nasa 50 to 75mL. Nageengorged po lagi si right breast. Pero kahit 2 to 3 hrs po ako nagppump, halos 10 to 15mL lang po nakukuha ko palagi. Di din po ako consistent na magpump. Nakaka 5 to 7 pump a day lang po ako. Di ko po makumpleto sa pagod and antok. Stress din po ako with husband's family. Naalala ko dj. po lagi yung mga nangyari sa hospital. Kapag may time po, nagbbreast massage and hot compress din pero kakaunti lang ang nalabas na milk. Tnry din po ni husband isuck pero walang nalabas unless po pigain ko. Pero konti lang daw po. Sisirit then mawawala po. Mas marami po ako nakkuha sa left breast (20 to 50mL). Taking malunggay supplements, lactation cookies and drinks. More water pero di po masyadong magana kumain. Sinukat ko din po flange size ko and nagwwork po sakin si 21 to 24 mm. Same output na nakukuhang milk po madalas. Paano ko po ba papalabasin ang milk? Kaya pa po bang magincrease ang milk kahit 9 months PP na po ako? Thank you po!
