Uneven milk supply

Hi mommies.. I’m exclusively pumping. I pump every 3-4 hours for 20 mins. My left side usually pumps 80-100ml at most and my right always pumps more than 150ml until the bottle is full. Was wondering what is the cause of this uneven yields? This started since day 3 post delivery. One side always yields a lot more, some times double.

Perfectly normal! One side will always yield more than the other and it's nothing to worry about.

Which new born formula milk is best to feed concurrently w breast milk?

When breastmilk is insufficient for first few days, which new born formula milk is best for LO that doesn't make them reject breastmilk or have constipation/allergies etc.? #advicepls

Nan is the closest to breastmilk but you still have to trial & error with the formula milks. Nan may or may not cause diarrhea which happened to my LO and the poop will be green, fart will smell bad. But I've also read that some babies had constipation with it. Afterall it depends on your baby's liking.

Is my bm too watery? And how to increase bm fats?

Is my bm too watery? I pump whatever that flows. Struggling with low supply at 4 mths pp. How do I increase the fats in my bm naturally? Pls do not suggest Legendairy Milk supplements or salmon. I'm a housewife and I don't have an income and I don't eat salmon.

Manual or electric pump

FTM. Unsure which to choose as afraid no BM. Had a medela set (hand down from frd, last use 7 years ago, just need buy whole accessories set)? Most of the time ppl use electric pump, wonder anyone use manual pump?

Haenim 7v breast pump

Hi mummies! Any mummies here using Haenim 7v breast pump? I'm currently using this but it seems like it doesn't clear my boobs well. Any mummies using this can share your settings for this pump? Tia.

I changed that pump spectra 9+ due to the same reason.

Hi mummies, which breast pump do you recommend? And why? Thank you!

#1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

Spectra S1! Great suction, one of the popular hospital-grade pumps that is not as expensive as Medela. S2 is cheaper but u need to plug in to a power point while pumping which I find inconvenient. Also, I like Spectra cz easy to find replacement parts and has varied size flanges which u can easily buy on Shopee unlike Avent pump. My first pump was Avent as I didn't know abt Spectra then and the suction was bad and flange too big for my nips tt it was so painful to pump. I also highly recommend Baby Buddha as a pump for work if Spectra is too bulky for you. Suction is great and it's light and small, can also use the same flange as Spectra.

Stopping breastfeeding

Hi mummies who have successfully stop breastfeeding, may I ask how do you go about doing it? I understand from friends around me and some mummies around me that they drag pumps and only express a little out to ease the discomfort. I’ve been dragging my pumps, from 4 hourly - 5 hourly - 6 hourly - 12 hourly and today I just decided that I should stop doing that if I want to stop breastfeeding, and so I did not pump and only hand express out a little to ease the heaviness in my boobs during shower time. However during the 2nd time I do hand expressing, I notice that there’s little lumps underneath both my boobs and the side of my boobs are slightly pain when I press it (feels like blocked ducts that I got before previously but was eased off when I pumped). Side story, I’m an exclusive pumping mum. So mummies when you’re stopping and you felt such pain and lumps what do you normally do? And how frequent do you hand express it. I choose not to use pump to ease because I tend to empty my boobs entirely which is not helping me in stopping. Please give me some advice. I’m stopping because I’m heading back to work and it’s tough to keep up pumping.

Just either pump or hand express the milk out to prevent engorgement. If you want to pump it’s doable, cut down the pressure and time that you use to pump. What I did was I still pump for 20mins but I cut down the number of times I pump per day like from 5 times to 4 times (before I went back to work) and I maintain this for like 3months cause I wanted my girl to drink breastmilk still, then when my milk supply dropped which it will after 6months, I cut down to 3 pump with the middle pump after lunch. Lasted for about 2-3 months and decided to slowly stop cause as my menses comes back my milk supply keeps dropping. Then subsequently to 2 pumps for 1 month and 1 pump for another month and I just stop. Word of advice, never just cause you want to wean off, you stop pumping entirely. Weaning off takes time and needs to be done gradually. Otherwise engorgement will happen and you will have to empty your breastmilk again.
