How much breast milk do you all manage to pump out per session? And how long does it take? I seem to be able to pump out only 30ml for both breasts and it takes about ½ hour. It’s so frustrating. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’m using the Spectra M1. It doesn’t seem to be pumping out much. Most of the milk comes from me compressing my breasts. My baby is 4 weeks old fyi.

It’s Low in the beginning for myself as well. Will gradually increase. In the first month, my confinement nanny prepared for me red date tea and oatmeal for breakfast. I had fenugreek and domperidone prescribed to me by my Dr. I took lactation bakes as well. And tried to stick to a regular pumping routine (3-hly). Did power pump a few times.. I was also anxious to keep up my milk supply. By the end of the first month I am yielding close to a 100ml. My bb is nearing bc 2 months and my supply has increased to about 130 ml . Perhaps try methods of all sorts

Your recommendation please!

Hi mummies! For those experienced mummies here, which brand of breast pump will you recommend to me - a SAHM mummy who will alternate between breastfeeding and bottle feeding? And most importantly, what is the cost and where can I buy it? I've heard all the good reviews about Spectra but I have no idea which one is good since there is hospital grade and not. Need your recommendation. Thank you!

Breastfeeding

What to do if husband do not supportive in breastfeeding journey? In my 3.5mth breastfeeding journey is tough with depression. Most because my husband did not supporting me. He scold me & cursing me almost every weekend. We mutual agreed to breastfeeding before I giving birth to my LO. We went to many birth @ breastfeeding seminar & webinar. He take the notes down too. We also decided to take care baby at night during confinement. After I giving birth, because of the numbers of house add on a suck confinement nanny & maid, my husband decided to back to office to work and not take his paternity leave to accompany me. After work his concern is how is my baby and what all ppl do at home, never ask me my feeling. I was exhausted and sleeping mode after feeding my baby. But my husband & in-law keep asking me question why my baby crying or why midnight I don’t want sleep. Make me so frustrated and angry. Whenever I pump milk, my baby crying my husband will give me Long face that I not attend to my baby. Or scold me. The most I feel rude & cursing is he chase after me to kitchen with my baby and cursing me “all u know now Is pumping your fucking milk, if your baby die u tell who will drink ur fucking milk”. And my baby keep crying whenever my husband carry him that time my baby only 1.5mth old. I feeling so depressed by my husband and in-law. Why I just alone? I feel my husband only want me to help him give birth but never loving me. After giving birth he never give me any hug or encouragement words didn’t even said thank you for my hard labour. He just blame me that I making him unable to sleep well at night that affect him in day time. Unlike me can have 4 month maternity able to sleep in day time. That’s why I should attend to my baby at night. Any mummies have same experience or advise to me, please share with me. Appreciate could recommend Counsellors to me. I need back to happy me and be a happy mummy to my LO.

Oh dear.... I am so speechless when I read this but feels so mad for you. If only men knows how tough breastfeeding is, they won't say what they have said. I will walk out if I were you. Giving birth is already extremely painful + breastfeeding + the exhaustion & lack of sleep, I don't need any f***ing husband to cuss at me for doing my job as a mother. I will seriously walk out and move in with my parents. I rather not have a stupid husband who only knows how to donate his sperm but not doing his job as a father. This... This is why many new mummies have depression. All we need/all they need is understanding and empathy. Being a mother is a tough job but we still chose to do it anyway. Hugs to you! Gather your courage. You don't need to be in a marriage/family with someone/in-laws who does not appreciate you.

Missing period.

No period aft 14 months post partum Is there something wrong with me.. I experience period cramp though...

Super Mum

It's possible if you're still fully breastfeeding or if you're using some form of contraception like IUD. Or take a pregnancy test if you're not sure?

Can I give my five-month-old baby formula when I am travelling?

Are you have extra milk or stash at the moment? If yes, I suggest you get the caregiver to feed bm instead than fm. It is free and no changes to the current food source ( i assume u r still breastfeeding now)
