1 week & 5 days old newborn

I know it’s really tough, but please don’t lose hope! It’s normal to have low milk supply in the first few weeks, especially if you’re still getting the hang of breastfeeding and pumping. Your baby’s latch is the most important, and as long as he’s latched on demand, he’s getting the nutrition he needs. Yung 5-10mL na pump output mo is okay for now. As for the wet nappies, it can take time for everything to regulate. Keep offering the breast, stay hydrated, and rest if you can. If you're still worried, maybe talk to a lactation consultant for more support.

I understand po yung frustration, lalo na kung ang milk supply nyo ay mababa pa at may urate crystals pa si baby. Minsan, sa mga first few weeks ng breastfeeding, mababa talaga ang supply at kahit pa mag-pump kayo, hindi agad lahat lumalabas. Ang pag-latch on demand po ni baby is really helpful to boost supply. As for the urate crystals, it's a sign that baby might not be getting enough milk, so mas mabuti po siguro mag-consult sa pediatrician para matulungan kayong mag-adjust ng feeding schedule. Huwag po mawalan ng pag-asa, mag-improve din po yan!

Ang important po ay patuloy ang latch-on ng baby kasi it helps stimulate your milk production. Kung 5-10mL po yung nakukuha nyo sa pump, okay lang po yun, kasi hindi lahat ng milk ay natatanggal ng pump. The fact na nagpapadede po kayo on demand, malaki na po yung tulong nun. As for the wet nappies, it’s good that may nakuha kayong signs na siya ay hydrated, pero kung may urate crystals pa po siya, mas maganda siguro mag-consult sa pediatrician just to be sure. Konting push lang po, tuloy-tuloy lang, magiging okay din po yan!

I totally get how you’re feeling. First of all, don’t be discouraged if you’re only pumping a little — the early weeks are all about establishing supply, and sometimes it takes time. Your baby’s latch is key, and as long as he’s nursing frequently, it’s a good sign. Urate crystals are common in newborns, but if you’re concerned about his wet nappies, it’s always good to check in with your pediatrician. You're doing great, and you’re not alone in this journey!

Many moms go through this at the start, so try not to get discouraged. Your baby’s latch is doing its job even if you're not pumping much. Just keep offering the breast on demand, and your supply will likely increase in the coming weeks. Urate crystals can happen in the first few days as baby’s kidneys are still adjusting. If you’re still concerned, maybe try talking to a lactation consultant or your pediatrician for extra guidance and support.

Hello mama! To help boost your milk, try to keep baby on demand, as frequent nursing is key. Make sure you’re staying hydrated and eating nutritious foods. Rest is important, too, even though it can be hard with a newborn. If you’re still concerned about your milk supply or the urate crystals, it’s best to consult with your pediatrician or a lactation consultant for additional support and advice. You're doing great, just keep going! 😊

"Huwag po kayong panghinaan ng loob, mommy. Normal lang na sa mga unang linggo, mababa pa ang milk supply habang nag-aadjust ang katawan sa demand ng baby. Patuloy lang po sa latch on demand dahil ito ang pinakamabisang paraan para ma-stimulate ang gatas. Para makatulong: Uminom ng sapat na tubig at kumain ng masustansya. Magpahinga kapag may pagkakataon. Subukan ang mga lactation aids tulad ng malunggay supplements o lactation cookies."

5-10mL po sa pump is normal kasi minsan hindi natatanggal ng pump lahat ng milk na nailalabas ng baby. Ang importanteng sign is kung nakuha po nyo yung wet nappies, which means may milk na pumapasok. Kung may urate crystals po siya, it could be a sign na medyo dehydrated siya, so it’s a good idea na i-check niyo po ito with your pediatrician. Don't lose heart po, just keep nursing on demand, and your body will adjust soon.

Hello mi! Tungkol sa urate crystals at mababang bilang ng wet nappies, mabuting makipag-ugnayan agad sa inyong pediatrician. Makakatulong ang professional advice upang masigurado na sapat ang nutrition at hydration ni baby. Tandaan, ginagawa mo ang lahat para sa ikabubuti niya, kaya huwag kang mawalan ng pag-asa! ❤️
