Milk flow too fast (forceful letdown)
Hello mummies, how do you cope with fast milk flow? My 5 week old chokes, coughs, gags and pushes off when latching on the side where my milk flow is too fast. I’ve tried different breastfeeding positions (normal cradle, side-lying, sitting up, leaning back) but none worked. Also did the scissors-finger to hopefully hold back some milk, and pre-pumped to reduce the amount, but all failed to solve the problem. So far I’ve been pumping out milk from this side to bottle feed after baby finishes latching on the other good side and still shows hunger cue. But I worry that baby is already too tired after latching on one side. #breastfeeding
Baca lagiMy 14 mths old baby just recovered from Covid a week ago and he doesn't seems to eat as much as before, has been having rice, vege, meat etc for his daily meal. Now only to eat a few bites, and mostly drink milk and water. Does it affect his appetite, is there a possibility of him lossing his taste bud due to Covid? Will he regain his taste bud? If yes how long it will take to regain it? For now what I can give him for nutrients? #pleasehelp
