baby feed for only 5 mins on 1 side !

My baby 4.5m. Her routine is, wake up feed for about 5 mins on 1 side and let go, I would try to burp her and feed again but she scream and push me away so I try to feed her again before she sleep which is in about another 45-1hr. She doesn't complete her feeding as she dont empty my breast at each feeding. I used to bottle feed her a week ago whenever she was very fussy or I needed some time off but now only DL & stopped it as I thought she might prefer bottle but it still stays the same. I even started taking fenugreek to increase my supply which I think is working too. It's sometimes very sad when she rejects my breast and makes me cry in frustration. I get less rest and work done because I have to keep feeding her throughout her wake time so she gets full milk. Her weight is only 5.5kg for 4.5m she should be 6kg and above. How can I make her finish her feeding and be full for 2-3 hours and gain more weight ?

Baby finally refuses my breast and I feel very sad

It has been a tough breastfeeding journey for me. Due to me having a painful postpartum, I dont have a v good start to breastfeeding. Add on the fact that my family members and even the nanny is not supportive of my breastfeeding - like keep telling me to rest and not let me breastfeed, keep telling me it's okay if I can't breastfeed etc. In the end baby dislikes breastfeeding and so I pump instead and only breastfeed once in the morning when bb is drowsy. This is the routine every single day until finally two days ago, baby refuses my breast. He screams and cries when offered and so I have to bottle feed him which he happily takes. I tried again a few times in the day and it's the same. Two days in, and baby still screams when he is offered the breast. I think this is it. My breastfeeding is over. It feels like my only bond with baby is over. I am returning to work in 5 days time as well. This is making me so sad.

Exclusively Pumping: Milk Supply Constant

Hi All, I've been pumping for 3 weeks now, with the milk supply averaging 90-120ml per 30mins pump session currently. I pump every 3 hours now. However, I am keen to increase milk supply per pump. Is it encouraged to decrease the frequency of pump session as I am not getting sufficient rest (confinement nanny told me to stretch it to 4 hours). My baby is 3 weeks, 5kg and already drinking 110ml breast milk per feed during the day. He drinks formula at night as it makes him fuller and sleep longer (as recommended by confinement nanny). Please help 🥺

I’m no pro but pumping more doesn’t help me in increasing the bm quantity. Hope you’re able to achieve your goal.

Low supply mom here. Recently I’m back in the workforce but my job nature only allow me to pump every 8-10hrs. One side of my milk supply has drastically drop from 60ml to 20ml. The other side still manage to hit 50ml. Any idea how to boost? I’ve tried all the lactation stuff. And pump more frequently over the weekends. Any suggestion to increase milk flow?

Drink more water Take oatmeal, fenugreek

Unlike conventional nipple pads, these silicone nipple pads are non-absorbent in order to preserve as much breast milk as possible. https://shope.ee/AKA6MTwtxY

freelance lactation consultant

Hello mummies, anyone engage freelance lactation consultant after delivery in SG? Can intro?

I engaged a freelance lactation consultant after my second delivery and it really made such a difference compared to just relying on the hospital nurses. But that was years back, you can try searching on the Lactation Consultants of Singapore Lactation Consultants Facebook groups as a starting point, and some confinement nannies also have contacts they can refer you to.

Breastfeeding struggles with engorged/clog

Any mummies struggling with breastfeeding? Am 21 PP FTM, am on/off getting clog/engorged, and everytime I didn't managed to clear it off myself. Seems like I am just not good with it. Sometimes it just got uncomfortable/sore or pain that I don't even feel like touching it anymore. Recently I have gotten a stubborn patch of clog, that caused me on/off having slight fever, even the lataction masseur couldn't clear it off 😔 told me have to clear few rounds as its been there for few days, told me to hot compress and massage need to apply pressure cannot soft touch, I tried, but it felt so sore, pain and don't really clear. Don't feel like touching it anymore, cause it's so not comfortable. And everytime calling in a lataction massage not an idea in the long run too.. Felt like giving up... Anyone were in a same situation like me?

I engaged Mdm Ida who’s famous for her massage- just that her massage you have to lie down on her lap; I did once, was pretty much painless compared to others I did before hers! Then I followed her recommended pumping settings. After that so far so good for 3 months now! I also take legendairy sunflower lecithin for maintenance to prevent clogging.. hope it gets better for you!
