Newborn less than 1 week

During my time, I struggled too. The first three days, a Dr in KK told me to just give formula milk as my milk supply was not enough. My son only poop & pee 1 time a day. But then I asked for a 2nd opinion with a paediatrician who was my son’s Dr incharged, the Dr then told me that it was normal and to keep on direct feeding and the milk supply will eventually increase in a few days. You can try marmet or use breast pump to encourage the milk supply. So, I keep on direct feeding for every hour everyday and only after 5 days my breastmilk supply started to increase, but still not that much but enough for a newborn. Newborns may only consume 1-2 oz per feeding, as their stomachs are still small. It’s totally normal for newborns to pee & poop less than 5 times a day if you are fully breastfeeding, as it depends on the quantity the baby consume each feeding. And there’s nothing to be worry about. You do need to wake the baby up for feeding time, if you want to continue breastfeeding, then you need to feed your baby every hour to increase the milk supply. As your baby latching will signal the brain that there’s a demand for milk. Hence, demand > supply. And I managed to fully breastfed my son until 2y2m. Please don’t be stress or worry too much, as long as your baby pee & poop, the stomach not bloated, so everything is good. You already did the right thing. Don’t be stress ya, as it will affect your hormone and may affect your milk supply too. All the best mommy! Stay strong & speedy recovery to you! 🫶🏻

Please check baby latch on your aerola correctly and the part of your breast pump which is fot5 to ur nipple or not. Actually for the newborn, no need breast pump in 1st month delivery. Have to do marmet correctly. You can consult lactation nurses in KK Rakan Bayi or certified lactation consultant/counsellor near you. And consult the breast pump shop that you buy breastpump to know how to use breast pump correctly . Follow FB Happy Breastfeeding Malaysia / medsos Owh Didiyana for more details in breastfeeding.

i think you can try breast feed again. its normal at first to have a tiny amount of milk. try to improve the latching and get massage by CL. Regarding sleeping it is normal for newborn to sleep more than 20+ hrs per day. But it can also be a sign of jaundice. ask the paediatrician if to confirm. keep trying and have faith🫡

klau pump awal2 mmg skit je kluar sis, sbb bdn kta kluarkn susu ikut demand bby.. trus direct feed sis, nnti akn byk.. pastikan latch dgn btul. jgn tgok ape yg kta pump sbb boleh buat rsa down klau nmpk skit n lg buat susu drop. fokus direct feeding je. klai bby kncing berak ok lpas bf tu mknanya dia ckup susu.

u can ask ur husband to massage ur scapula bone... from centre of back bone... towards ur side.... dont put so much presure... just do it slowly...everyday...It might be help

kejut je baby untuk menyusu..

ur bby jaundiced?
