Im 3 days PP tdy. Been exclusively breastfeeding since day 1. And so far, so good.. despite the every hourly demand latching, Baby has been latching well. Till both my nipples super sore and "torn". I do apply the nipple cream as and when i can but because my baby might even latch every 30mins-60mins, my nipples couldnt heal properly and thus resulted in more pain. Yesterday i realised, my both boobs gettimg engorged eventho i latch my baby often and for long each time. The engorgement doesnt seems to subside.. i wonder why.. is baby not drinking at all or...? Every 10-15mins she ask to be latched. With the pain getting even more painful, i had to feed my baby formula. My 3yrs old formula milk bcos i hadnt had the chance to buy a newborn formula yet. I feel guilty. What will happen if a newborn drinks a 3yrs old fomula milk? This is the first time i had to do this. My nipple pain is soo unbearable and baby was fussing, crying non stop asking for milk. And, what can i do now? With this nipple pain (cracked nipples) and both boobs engorgement... Pls pls advise! Urgently need help!

Hey, suggest u to pump for now instead n yes apply nipple cream as n when u need. Pumping with the right flange size will really help your sore nipples to heal, lay off on the latching for awhile n also maybe try to figure out if her latch isn’t proper. My girl couldn’t latch properly as well n I thought it was okay but on day 3 I couldn’t stand the pain anymore n she was getting so frustrated so I pumped instead, only blood came out with abit of colostrum :( but within few hours I feel so much better n have been pumping ever since

Hi mummies! When your baby starts sleeping longer at night/sleeping through the night without needing any night feeding, do you still wake up to pump? If yes, how many times? If no, will the milk supply drop and become insufficient during the day?

yes sure. set alarm to pump ❤️. can cause milk supply drop if not mistaken. Maximum gap 3 hours.

My friends who tried both, they recommended baby express be free. Can empty their boobs better. You can consider getting their working mama bundle. Comes with steriliser bag and nursing cover. So if your office no nursing room and no steriliser also nvm. https://welovesupermom.com/products/259-WMBU01-SM-Working-Mama-Bundle

Breastpump brand Spectra Vs other brand

Hi mummies. It's my first time using breastpump. Was wondering if you can share reviews on Spectra or any other brands you would like to recommend. Some qns I have will be, How long does it take to pump? Is it electric portable pump or wired? Thanks! #breastpump

I used Real Bubee at first but after a while I feel that the suction is no longer strong even with new flange and duckbill and the downside of it is need to charge after 2 uses but it's lightweight which is good. I have a budget so I bought 2nd hand Spectra S1+ @ Carousell and love it! The suction is way stronger than RB but it's very bulky lah so a bit troublesome to move around and I make sure someone else helps me to look after my baby while I pump for a bit.

Hi guys, I am going back to work soon any tips or advice on how do i stop my 4month old baby from breastfeeding?

I guess the question is whether you would like to stop breastfeeding? You can slowly transit to bottle feeding first.
