I am going back to work in jan. I'm DL my baby now and have no stash in the freezer. How do I get started with building up a stash? My baby drinks 3 hourly now.
What supplements do you take while breastfeeding? Is it a must to take such supplements?
Hi mummies, my 3 month old suddenly prefers EBM than direct latching these past 2 weeks. She keeps rejecting to direct latch even when she's hungry but would happily drink EBM from the bottle. Any ideas why and suggestions to coax her back to direct latch?
Need advice, I've been direct latching my LO every 3 hourly when it's his feeding time for 10-20 mins per side but he never seems satisfied and would pull back and scream towards the end of the session even if I change sides (meaning left-right-left) Does that mean there is no more milk inside? I always resort to topping up with fm and he will not finish what he usually will if he is on pure bottle feed; meaning if he usually finishes 120ml on the bottle, he will only take 60-70ml after the direct latching. I've tried pumping out but the output is miserable. Need help! Taking red dates drink, lots of soup and water, fish, fenugreek, no use!!
Would like to ask how long does your lo latch each time.. mine took 1 half hour.. is it too long?
Hi mummies, want ask how many time n how long apart you pump each day? Have tried power pumping everyday n pump or latch every three to four hours but still don't see much supply increase. Have been taking milk booster too. Don't know what went wrong!
My baby is 9.5 months. I have noticed a sudden drop in milk supply even though i nurse 2 times and pump 3 times a day. I feel upset about it as i always think that latching is a way for close bonding since this is my last baby. Is there a way to increase the milk flow again or this is a signal that the milk is going to dry up soon? Thanks!
Mendala versus pigeon brand Breast pump? Which would you favor and why?
Hi mummies, my LO is 2 weeks old now and we started off rocky with bf due to blocked ducts. I am currently bottle feeding him ebm and fm as pumped amount is very low (30-40ml per pump). I am already pumping 8x per day, taking fenugreek and lactation tea but the supply don't seem to go up. Do you think I should latch baby on now whenever it's his feeding time? Does the pump output equate to the amount of milk I have?
I am feeling very sad and disappointed with myself. I have been breastfeeding my lo from birth now. She is 7 mth 3 wks old now. We have come a long way, I direct latch her whenever she is with me, and I pump hard at work whenever I could squeeze in time between meetings and conf calls and general work, so as to provide enough for her when she goes ifc. Couple of weeks back she fell ill and later I fell ill too. I always take a very long time to recover from stupid tiring coughs. Needing to get better, I had to take cough syrup and subseq TCM herbs. Little did I know that despite the prescribed med being safe for a lactating mom, it affected my milk supply tremendously. I stopped my med but my milk supply is not coming back. I cannot yield the same volume anymore despite stopping the med, drinking lots of water, milk and eating lactation cookies. I really feel very sad..as I wanted to give her this precious gift of bm for as long as I can. I love the bonding with her whenever she latches on.
