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

Sudden dip in milk supply

Having a sudden dip in milk supply due to period. I no longer feel the letdown also. 2 months pp. Both latching & pumping. Any tips to boost supply quick? #advicepls #breastfeeding

First thing is to let baby latch as many times as possible. Baby's suction is stronger than pumping. This will help to stimulate production. For me, taking LegendairyMilk supplements help alot! I struggled the first mth tt I had to supplement baby with formula (only managed abt 60-80ml per pumping session) but aft taking the supplements with Lecithin, results seen in a week or so, I cld get 150ml and above. But u need to trial and error for tt. Try one of their best sellers first and see in a wk or 2 if there's an increase. Personally for me, Cashcow works best. Diff ppl has diff results with each supplement. You can also try tt concurrently with other natural galactagogues like dates, fennel seeds etc. Lactation cookies also but for me this didn't do much and made me gain weight instead 😅 https://legendairymilk.sg/

Supplements to boost milk supply

Has anyone tried the supplements from legendiarymilksg to boost milk supply? How was it?

Currently taking Milkapalooza. Not working for me. In fact, I'm experiencing a sudden dip bcos I'm having my period. Will try Lecithin once I'm done with the above.

Will it affect?

Hi mummies! I'm both latching and pumping my milk. Earlier on, I was eating but I didn't know the dish was going to turn bad until a few mouthful. Will it affect my breastmilk? Should I pump & throw it away? #advicepls #breastfeeding

Hi mummy. It should be okay. Don't worry about it:) Just continue pumping and breastfeeding as usual.
