I am at week 5. But my HCG levels have not risen within the 48hrs of blood tests. Is this normal?

Do check with your gynae on it. It’s hard to advise on it.

NOT ENOUGH BREAST MILK

Any suggestions mommies for not enough breast milk? Tried to pump every 3 hourly but milk is getting alot lesser than before.

Oh mama, I totally understand the stress and frustration of feeling like you're not producing enough breast milk. It's a common concern for many moms, so you're definitely not alone. Here are a few suggestions that might help boost your milk supply: 1. Stay hydrated: Make sure you're drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can have a negative impact on milk production. 2. Nurse frequently: Try to nurse your baby as often as possible, even if it feels like there's not much milk. The more you nurse, the more signals your body gets to produce milk. 3. Consider power pumping: This involves pumping for short periods of time every hour for a few hours. It can help signal your body to produce more milk. 4. Eat lactation-boosting foods: Oatmeal, flaxseed, and brewer's yeast are known to help increase milk supply for some moms. Incorporating these into your diet might be worth a try. 5. Get enough rest: I know it's easier said than done with a little one, but getting enough rest can really make a difference in your milk production. 6. Seek support: Sometimes stress and worry can affect milk supply. Reach out to other moms for support, or consider speaking with a lactation consultant for personalized advice. Remember, every mom and baby is different, so it may take some trial and error to find what works best for you. Hang in there, mama. You're doing a great job! https://invl.io/cll6she

Coffee and bubbletea

Hi mummies, I have craving for coffee and bubbletea. Am I allowed to drink as I'm bf my LO? My LO is 6 weeks old.. First time mom here.

Yeah, I took my first cup of coffee right after I end confinement (legit on the dot 12:01am lol) 😅 subsequently more bubble tea etc, exclusively pumping. If you’re worried about the caffeine, drink after you nurse. 😊

Just wanna prepare myself once my ML ends and she goes to Infantcare. ( might need formula incase my supply drops ) . How do i do mixed feeding of both formula and breastmilk? Any advices?

I started off with mixing. 8:2 (BM 8: FM 2) then gradually increase 5:5 then full formula when I stopped pumping 😊.

Hi mummies! Anyone has recommendations on where to get full month box? I’m considering sweetest moments but I’m not sure if it’s good. Anyone ordered their full month box before?

I ordered from sweetest moment cause I’m under TMC got discount 😂. Reviews from receivers not bad, especially my dad who has super picky mouth (I bought FA13).
