Breastfeeding

Does fenugreek cause engorgement ? I just took fenugreek and woke up to an engorged breast for both sides

Hi mummies, due to my nipple situation, i was advised to exclusively pump instead of latching. Those mummies that exclusively pump right from day 1 (not latching), other than hand express, do you use manual or electric wearable breastpump and hows your output ? Im only day 4 PP, and trying to pump to stimulate my colostrum,and using wearable breast pump (honestly, not religiously i skip night timings just to keep myself sane), but only manage to get few drops which only end up on the flange and not the inside. #advicepls #firsttimemom

Hi mummies, i just gave birth few days ago and found out i have inverted nipple and not able to latch baby and that made me so sad and demoralised. They told me to pump or hand express instead, to also use pump to stimulate milk. I tried pumping for 3 times, was able to get very few drop of colostrum. But pumping kind of affecting my mental, especially when i need to pump every 3 hours to stimulate milk/colostrum. Altho i only tried few times. Currently baby on formula since birth. Am I really a bad mother if I want to only formula feed my baby instead of exclusive pump or mix feed ? Any mummies formula feed their baby from born and doing well ? #FTM #pleasehelp

Just gave birth and was so demoralised when i asked nurse to teach me how to latch baby and they told me my nipples are short and inverted and not able to latch ☹️ and i need to pump instead Anybody facing same issue and did you pump thruout your hospital stay? Even when not producing anything you still pump every 3 hrs ? #FTM #firstbaby

Those that went thru csect, on which day did you latch baby? And did your colostrum come out?

Breastfeeding mummies, do you prefer to latch or just bottlefeed ur LO ebm when outside? I tried to direct latch only but baby seem to still be hungry after latching both breasts

Did you latch baby on the day of your csect? Is it ok to not latch baby on the first day due to extreme pain in the incision? Feeling guilty and scared if i dont start on the first day, i wont have colostrum afterwards. #FTM

Hi, any breastfeeding mums taking supplements besides calcium? I know calcium is extremely important for BFing mums, and wondering if any other supplements are necessary.

Drinking a dietary supplement that comes from an organic source may help you. https://shope.ee/2fhefjOHQa
