Any changes to milk supply after Vaccination?

Anyone experienced any changes to their milk supply after Vac/booster? Am worried supply may drop. Thank you

Varies for different mummies I guess. The WA group I’m in, some supply dropped drastically from 200ML to 40ML for a week, some maintained their supply. From what they said, Moderna seems to affect supply compared to Pfizer.

Booster shot after confinement.

Hi mummies. Any idea if I can take my booster shot right after I end my confinement? My 2nd dose was on Sep 2021 and effective on 26 Sep 2021. (2weeks after jab). As I'm due to delivery next week, I'm thinking taking right after confinement. Any views please? 😊 Will it affect my baby as I'm pro breastfeeding too.

I was in the same situation and my gynae suggested to take before giving birth instead of after due to the possible side effects. You’re likely to be more exhausted and unable to deal w the side effects after giving birth w a baby at home and stuffs. I went for my booster 5 days before my induction to give birth.

Third trimester 34 Weeks Pregnancy Symptoms

Hi everyone! Its normal to have heartburn & abdominal pain now, i able to endure it. But recently, my left breast so cramp . I wonder why its so cramp even i sleep on left side , i can feel the pain and also my under breast has rashes/red marks too. I do not know if its normal to have this such situation and I need some comments! Thank you!!

Super Mom

Circulating hormones and weight gain can make you more prone to rashes between the breasts during pregnancy. In addition to rashes from heat or sweating, you may also experience some rashes that are unique to pregnancy. These can include a condition called pruritic urticarial papules and plaques of pregnancy or PUPPP.

Milk supply drop during ovulation/period

Period came back at 4m though exclusively latching baby. Realised my milk supply started dropping a few days before it came and it was quite drastic. Baby constantly hungry but refuses to take bottle/ spoon/ cup. Now at 5m I'm taking legendairy, calcium/ magnesium supplements but the supply still dropped drastically and this time 2 weeks before period due to arrive. Anyone with similar experience? Want to give formula also cannot cos baby refuses to take a bottle. Now getting frustrated with the boob also cos flow is slow

Super Mom

Hi mama, Here’s an article on your period returning and a drop in BM supply: https://www.llli.org/breastfeeding-info/menstruation/ It’s normal for most mamas to experience this. Is baby producing at least 5-6 wet diapers and gaining weight well? If so, keep up the good work mama! Baby could also be fussing due to growth spurts during the 4 month and 6 months mark. To increase milk supply try: 1) having a nursing holiday - nurse baby frequently and relax with lots of fluids (cooling coconut water is good too) and your fave tv shows 2) lots of skin to skin 3) breast massages Here’s an article which may be helpful to you: https://kellymom.com/hot-topics/low-supply/ Hang in there mama.

Refuse to drink awake!

Hi mummies! About a month an a half ago I posted here stating that my girl refuse the EBF bottle all of a sudden and would latch occasionally. We’ve been managing it by feeding her when she’s drowsy and asleep. However, up to this day, she’s turning 4 months in a week and a half time, it’s still the same. It has gone slightly better that sometimes she can take 1 oz to half of the bottle awake and then the remaining will be fed when she naps (she’s a catnapper). She takes 120ml every 3 hours. I’ve tried dark room, white noise, rocking, sitting her up, get someone else to feed, even on Sesame Street to distract but she just doesn’t want. She’s scheduled to start purée after her 4 months vaccination but I’m not sure how to go about with her only drinking breastmilk when asleep. Any advices?

Super Mom

Hi mama, May I ask if baby uses the pacifier? Also, is the EBF from a frozen stash?

Breastfeeding 1 week old baby

Hi mommies, I’m trying to latch my baby again after stopping for a few days to heal my nipple injury. #advicepls how long should I latch my baby on per feeding? My recent try, baby latched for 5 mins and fell asleep. Then he latched for 20mins. Can mommies share what is a good duration guide?

Influencer của TAP

i never followed a guide but a saying from other mummies that when baby is full, they will unlatch on their own. mine would latch for 1 hour when she was just a new born but she will unlatch when shes ready and full. its normal for our nipples to hurt after some time, put some nipple cream as often as you can throughout the day. youre doing great dear!

Milk production?

Hi mummies! I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and would like to know if I can drink oat milk to prepare myself to produce milk once I’ve given birth. If yes are there any recommendations for which brand of oat milk? Or are there any other food or drinks I can take to boost milk production? Thanks in advance! #1stimemom #pregnancy

oats, salmon, avocado, milo.. can search on lactation foods
