PREPARATION IS THE KEY!

Question

CROWDSOURCING:Im 19wks today! Almost half way to my 2nd pregnancy. Gusto ko na magprepare for my bunsos homecoming. ❤ Di ko kasi nagawa to sa panganay ko, 1month ko lang sya na BF. I really want to exclusively breastfeed my bunso this time. Sana po may makapag suggest and any tips narin po.1) Best breast pump?-Electric sana na di naman kamahalan pero does the job.2) Best bottle na pwede pagsalinan ng pumped BM?- Ung di naman makaka nipple confuse kay baby.3) Malaking tulong din ba ung breast pads at nipple shield?4) Pwede ko pa kaya ipa-breastfeed ung panganay ko kahit 7y.o. na sya paglabas ni bunsoy? ? Baka sakali lang sabay sila tumaba. Haha. Payatot at sakitin din kasi sya, mahina lungs nia. Mayat maya me ubo.Ito po last question, not BF related pero sana po masagot parin:5) Best postpartum hygiene esp. Sa mga natahi?- napkins used?- panggamot sa tahi? - may nabasa ako sa pinterest na nilalagyan ng witchhazel at aloe vera gel ung napkin para makatulong sa healing process ng tahi. May nakatry napo dito sainyo?Any other tips po would be highly appreciated! Thank you everyone. Godbless po!

Hi mommy! Congrats on your 2nd pregnancy. Ito yung pwede ko masuggest, una unlilatch kayo, drink lots of water, eat healthy foods including soups, you can take malunggay supplements too. 1. You can try these brands: Cimilre, Horigen, Wisemom. (Wisemom is availble sa Babymama, you can also try fitting para mahanap mo ang right flange and suction sa iyo, you can also try their other pumps such as spectra). 2. Feeding bottle, Pigeon peristaltic gamit namin, no nipple confusion naman with baby. 3. Breast pads naman is to avoid leaking lang lalo na if nakadamit, nipple shield somehow nakatulong sa akin pero 1 or 2 weeks ko lang nagamit, so sayang. Short nipple kasi ako kaya pinagamit ako nun ng ospital. But for breastfeeding advocates talaga no no ang nipple shield kasi baka ito. Magcause ng confusion. 4. Hindi ko masagot sorry of pwede pa ang 7yo. 5. Regular maternity napkin lng ginamit ko. Hindi ko natry yung aloe vera at witchhazel.
