Feeds for newborn

My 2 weeks newborn has gained her birth weight, can she stop with the scheduled feeding and be fed on demand only (4-5 hourly)?

Below 2-3 months I will stick with 2-3 hourly feeds even if she’s sleeping.

Bringing newborn out

Just curious if there are any tips in managing pump schedule when bringing a newborn out? I don't drive so have to take public transport/taxi. My usual pump schedule is 3hourly so not sure how the mummies manage when they are outside

I try to limit my time outside ard 3-4hrs max cos I dont want to bring so many things out. Pump right before going out so you have 3hours to not think about pumping. If i will be out longer, will bring along a wearable pump so i can pump with less hassle

Newborn wake window

Pls help, my newborn just turned 1 month. Her wake window is getting longer sometimes even stayed up for more than 5 hours, she is overtired but she can’t seems to fall asleep. We even tried to make her sleep once we spotted her sleeping cue but failed. #advicepls #firstmom #firstbaby #FTM

For NB and months changes they will have different sleeping/wake up period or time. My first born from NB till few months old (I cant recall age), she wake up every 3 hrs for milk (FM/BM) subsequently she change to waking up only once. Whereas my second born from NB till now (5 months old) she wake up once at night and she has short naps in the afternoon. Not too sure if there will be changes once they both in CC because I understand they have schedule/routine/timetable.

Feeding newborn

My newborn (10 days old) only feeds average of 3.5 to 4 hours. This makes the number of feeds to an average of only 6. Does this cause my milk supply to be low because of the longer intervals or will her growth be affected because of the lesser number of feeds in 24 hours? (Not 8-12feeds as recommended)

You can pump/hand express after latching (10mins-15mins is good enough), that way you won’t have to drag session, which also will help signal your body that baby needs more milk. I doubt it will affect her growth but you can try to shorten her feeds intervals by dream feeding.

Feeding related

My newborn feeds at an average of every 4 hours but the duration varies a lot from 10mins to even up to 1 hour. Is this a cause for concern? How do I know if my milk supply is not sufficient for her?

If she falls asleep at the boob, that is comfort latching and she is not taking in any milk (basically a human pacifier). Anything above 15~20 mins would probably be comfort latching already. You cannot tell the amount via latching, the only way you can tell is bottle feeding.

to induce or not to induce?

hi all! ftm here. edd is 28/7. turning 39wks this fri, which coincidentally falls on my next checkup appt too. currently only 1cm dilated, with no signs of labour at all too. baby & i are all healthy, thankfully, and baby is weighing at estimated 2.9kg currently. i’ve been doing squats, walking more than 10k steps daily & bouncing on yoga ball too. even taking dates & drinking raspberry leaf tea. on last checkup, gynae gave us an option to be induced by the next appt, citing reasons as to avoid baby from getting too big. as she noticed a rapid upwards pattern on baby’s weight gain within third trimester itself. been going back and forth regarding this. as much as i’d like to naturally go into labour on my own.. i can’t stand the backache, reflux, morning sickness & all the discomfort. would love to get this baby out of me too :( need some advice please. any kind of help will do. thank you in advance!

hi dear have you given birth yet? if not try asking for membrane sweep.

Plus size binder

Anyone can recommend where to get like a pregnancy binder? I'm slightly plus size and will be doing c section, and looking for a binder that can fit my tummy after the ops.

There's plenty in the market. You can get those that has velcro, stretchable and has sizes as well adjustable.

Breastmilk PP 2 weeks

What is the usual volume PP 2 weeks if I'm pumping exclusively (have flat nipples and baby has difficulties latching)? I'm currently pumping 60-70ml every 3h for 2 boobs.

It does not works the same for everyone. At 2 weeks PP I’m only pumping 35-50ML for both boobs (3hourly). My supply only increased after 1.5m 😊.
