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?

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?

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

Hi all, does KKH have breast pumps avail for after delivery(2022)? If yes, how does one ask for it? Do they have different flange sizes or just standard? Manual or electric? This will be my 2nd delivery but 1st time requesting for pump, previously gave birth in 2020, no pump was provided n was constantly asked to latch or cup feed formula

Super Mom

Hey mama, I’ve heard you have to pay for rental. Most mamas bring their own.

Exclusive pumping mummies out there?

Hi mummies! I have been exclusively pumping since my LO’s birth as he doesn’t latch well 🥲 can any mummies share their experiences when they’re going out for long hours? So far, what i did is to express right before i go out as the expressed milk can only last up to 4 hours. That means, i can only go out for a shortwhile. Do you ladies also bring your pump to pump outside? Cause as you know, we need to pump every 3-4hours or our milk supply will deplete.. so when i pump outside, can give to LO directly. I just find that it’s rather tiring but i would love to continue giving breastmilk to LO. 🥲#advicepls #firstbaby

bring along breast-pump whenever I'm out
