Feed

My baby is 1.5 months old now. He is on FM and always getting hungry by 1.5 - 2 hours. Is this normal or do i need to change formula? #FTMom

I was using grow FM previously n baby kept asking for milk every 1 to 2 hrs. Then nanny suggested change another brand of FM. I changed to similar, and it helps a lot. Can drag longer to 2 to 3 hrs. Now I am on Nan. Also good.

How to un-latch

How do I slowly not let my baby latch on me? She has to latch after feeding so that she can sleep. She is going to ifc in August.

It sounds like your baby has developed a habit of latching on to you for comfort after feeding. It's common for babies to want to nurse for comfort, especially when they are tired and trying to fall asleep. One approach you can try is to introduce a comfort object, such as a small blanket or stuffed animal, that your baby can use to self-soothe instead of needing to latch onto you. You can also try gently patting or rubbing your baby's back to help her relax and fall asleep without needing to nurse. Another strategy is to gradually shorten the length of time your baby nurses for comfort after feeding. For example, if she typically latches on for 10 minutes, try gradually reducing it to 8 minutes, then 5 minutes, and so on, until she is able to fall asleep without nursing. It's important to be patient and consistent with these methods, as it may take some time for your baby to adjust to new sleep routines. Additionally, offering extra cuddles and snuggles during the day can help fulfill your baby's need for comfort, making it easier for her to fall asleep without nursing at night. Remember that every baby is different, so it's okay to experiment with different approaches to find what works best for your little one. Good luck, and I hope you and your baby both get some restful sleep soon! https://invl.io/cll6she

Bumpy baby skin

My LO’s skin feels bumpy, almost like chicken skin. It’s not itchy, and occurs on the limbs. LO also tends to have red patches or small bumps on the face. Any mamas with similar experience with their LOs who can share tips or insights?

Caffeine, alcohol while Breastfeeding

Hello mummies. I'm currently breastfeeding. Wondering if caffeine is ok? Or do I have to pump and throw after drinking coffee? Likewise for alcohol, do I pump and throw? Or can just wait 2hrs before feed. Thanks in advance!

For caffeine (coffee/tea), I usually drink after I pump, then next session pump and feed as per normal 😊. For alcohol I can’t advise cause I don’t drink.

Baby latch on too much

Hihi FTM here. My baby keep wanting to latch on even after feeding. I'm worried about overfeeding. Once I removed my breast, baby cry.. what should I do..?

My baby is like that too.. He overfeeds and spits out his milk a lot after that. He comfort latches and he does that so that he could fall asleep. He latched for HOURS. It went on for a month, then I stopped getting him to be latched to sleep. Instead I time his feeds (max 15mins latch), hold him upright to burp and then pat him to sleep against my body. I give him milk more times but in small quantities basically. Your baby might also be going through a growth spurt and he's cluster feeding a lot.

Hi. I'm a BF mum. My baby often latch on me and fall asleep. Sometimes I skip the burping part because I don't wanna wake baby up. But she kept spitting out milk. I've asked polyclinic during monthly checkup and they advised to burp after every feed. Whenever I tried, she didn't burp either. Like very hard to make her burp 😅 she kept farting though. I will feel guilty whenever I skip the burping part or didn't manage to make her burp..b

Burping is never easy… keep trying many different ones and you’ll find your sweet spot
