Mommies who are sahm, do you directly latch or pump and bottlefeed? Cuz I find it such a hassle to keep pumping and feeding in bottles so I just latch directly.... But I intend to send her to infantcare at 13months so I've started feeding her in bottle.. but some days, I just latch all the way as I haven't wash my pumping parts)bottles etc.. and husb doesn't help with the washing so I've to do everything.. it's really such a ni hassle..

Super Mom

You can keep on latching, latching is the most beneficial for baby. 13 months you can already either switch to fresh milk or if you want to give pumped milk the teachers will be able to give easily, no need to train your baby

LO's poop is green color

Hi! Has anyone tried the Legendiary milksg's pump princess? Does it make your LO's poop green? Cos I read the ingredient it mentioned there is vegetable capsule in it, not sure if that's what causing the color change. Thanks!

Took it before! Baby’s poop is normal. But green is also a normal poop colour for babies!

Unstable period after giving birth

Hi mummies. I’m FTM & would like to ask if anyone has same experience like me. I gave birth to my boy on mid Jan’21. After that I had around 6 weeks bleeding before it stop for a week. After that I have another heavy bleeding which I assume my period has come back altho that time I’m a bit surprised I got period quite fast since I’m breastfeeding my son. And now I haven’t get my period & has been late for 1 week. I had test pack & it was negative. Have anyone has same experience like me. Got period previous month & the next month not getting it back? I saw from google that is quite common due to hormones that support breastfeeding. Thinking to see gynae maybe by end of month if I still haven’t get back my period by then. Thank you 🙏🏻

Irregular period. contact your doctor

Hey mummies! When should I start consuming foods that will boost my milk supply? Like during pregnancy or after birth.. like when exactly? Because previous pregnancy I didn’t really know much of this. And could only Breast feed for 1 month as milk supply was so little. I would like to provide more for my second one. Kindly advise... Thank you!

Please check with your gynae first. But legendairy has some supplements that can be consumed from wk37. Maybe you can check it out

Stop latching baby

Hi mommies, I have been latching my baby and started introduced bottle to her as she will be entering IFC. However, teacher has advised me to stop latching my baby at night due to her rejecting milk bottle? So do i really need to stop latching her? How to get her to drink bottle? Any bottles that closest to nipple shape?

You don’t have to stop latching your baby. It takes a while for babies to get used to the bottle in infant care. My girl took 3-4 days to get used to drinking from bottle in infant care. She currently latches at night and during weekends. 19 months old now! There are ways to get her to drink from the bottle. Consistency is key. Try to replace 1 feed with a milk bottle once a day and get someone else to feed (your husband or parent). You can google “paced feeding” and use a small teat size to help your baby get used to the bottle. My girl is using Pigeon bottles. You can join some breastfeeding support group such as BMSG for tips and advice on breastfeeding

DL bm and if top up is required?

After baby latch, how do I know if I need to top up more bm? If so, how much?

Super Mom

I only topped up the first month because I wasn’t producing enough and she was jaundiced, plus she continued to show sogns of hunger after latching. Thereafter, I breastfed on demand, and it was usually enough for her. So it depends on your baby’s age, how long baby latches for and whether baby shows signs of hunger after. If you’ve pumped milk before, you may also have a gauge of how much milk you’re producing
