Craving sweet stuff

Anyone craves sweet stuff like me? I'm week 32. I keep wanting to eat some kind of dessert or sweet drink after my meals and in between. I usually give in to my cravings but feel guilty that I am not eating healthily.... Thankfully my glucose test at week 25 was ok but will I develop GD in these few weeks?

Food when breastfeeding

Anyone can tell me what to eat when I breastfeed is it okay if I consume spicy food? Or fast food? ##firsttimemom #breastfeeding

You can pretty much eat everything when you breastfeed, but at the same time in moderation. Too much sweet/salty/oily food can cause milk ducts to be clogged and leading to mastitis. For supply wise, try to drink more water/soup, can consider eating more nuts/fish. Most importantly, eat well and don’t starve/undereat. For alcohol and caffeine, best to consume after latching/pump so that it has at least two hours before the next session 😊.

Hi breastfeeding moms! I was wondering if I can increase my milk supply when pregnant? I’m currently in my third trimester and is it possible how can I increase it? #firstTime_momhere #milksupply #thirdtrimester #pregnant #adviceappreciated

1 month before your EDD, you can start taking moringa capsules, at least 500mg per day. It's known to increase milk supply.

Hi mummy’s I’m a first time mom I know nothing about breastfeeding pls give me advice and share ur breastfeeding story’s with me or give me some tips it will be appreciated thank u #advice #breastfeeding #firstmom I have no idea how to prepare the milk to 😭

Hi! I struggled with latching so I did exclusive pumping instead. Initial bf stage (especially if you’re not blessed with good supply) will be hard. I had blocked ducts, sore boobs, sometimes even mastitis if I didn’t control my diet/cleared my boobs well. I took one breast massage session (engaged Mdm Ida) to clear the first blockage and then took sunflower lecithin daily. Switched to handsfree pumps, drink a lot of water and eventually managed to go from undersupply to having my own milk stash! In the meantime, I mix feed. Apply nipple cream after pumping/latching. I use baby consumable coconut oil to apply on my flange during pumping to reduce friction too. If you intend to bottle feed, what i did was to pump with into her milk bottles, put in fridge. End of the day, I combine all my milk and if I have extras, I freeze them. To thaw the next day, you can just bring down from freezer the night before then let it thaw, transfer to bottle then heat up with your bottle warmer. Alternatively, if you’re okay with giving cold milk (I did when she’s around 2M and she’s fine with it, currently 28m no issues), you can just pump and pour whatever she needs, excess put in another bottle then top up with next pump, put in the fridge then feed directly. Above is for just nice supply, if you’re oversupply, store the excess in milk storage bags then freeze them.

Fear breastfeeding

I’m so afraid tat I won’t be able to breastfeed my baby but I know I keep telling myself I can do it cause im currently leaking colostrum and pregnant.I’m so afraid I can’t provide breast milk fr my Bby #firsttime_mommy #fear

After bb is out, drink more water and latch/pump regularly. Eat well, rest well and give whatever you have, don’t stress yourself because stress = affect supply. I took 1m to only be able to provide baby just enough for each feed then slowly build up from there. Good luck and congrats on your pregnancy! 😊
