Currently having a fever due to mastitis. I'm on 7 days post natal massage and today is the 1st day. Although the masseuse did help to massage my breasts but I developed a sudden fever at night. Just popped paracetemol cos whenever I have fever, it is normally high temperature. I'm both latching & pumping. Can't keep latching my newborn as he likes to 'chew' my nipple when he's full and it's painful. How frequent to get my milk out? I have no one to help at home cos my husband just started work after paternity leave and I need to get well. #advicepls #pleasehelp

Try taking sunflower lecithin, it helps in clearing blocked ducts. You might want to go to a gp to get augmentin too

I'm using an electric pump but no idea for how long should I pump for a session? But I know I should pump every 3-4 hours. I'm also using the Haakaa pump for my letdown. Is it normal to get low supply? I only can get 30ml for the left and my lazy right breast can only yield 10ml 😞 I eat oats biscuits, Milo, Longan Red Dates drink and a lot of fluids. Can't take Fenugreek cos it made me have painful gastric. Also, is it better to just put my bm in the fridge or freeze it? Using it daily though. My 19 days old baby latches and also drink from milk bottle. #advicepls #pleasehelp

BM works in supply and demand if you feel your milk hasn't kick in enough I suggest you can pump after latching for a good 30 min to stimulate.

Protein Shake in second trimester

Hello mummies. Im currently taking protein shake which has all the good ingredients in it and safe for pregnancy. And i stop taking my prenatal vitamins cause i just couldn’t stand the smell of it and im having constipation after taking prenatal vitamins. Now after taking protein shake, im been going to daily normally. Just curious anyone else taking protein shake and stop taking prenatal vitamins?

Super Mom

Best to check with gynae. If the ingredients are good and safe and can replace prenatal vits then sounds ok. Personally I endorse balanced natural diet.

Breastfeeding Issues

Hi mommies, I have short nipples and i can only latch on my left, my right i will pump the milk out. However everytime i want to latch on, my left nipple hurts and it became sore after continuous latching. Sometimes it bleeds. How do i prevent this from happening again so i can bond my time with newborn instead of concentrating on the pain?

Hi mummy. I'm same like you. My right nipple is shorter than the left but I still latch my baby on that side to prevent it from clogging even when I pumped out the milk. Your baby should not need to turn his/her head towards your nipple. Make sure your baby's stomach and yours are at the same level then put your nipple in between baby's nose and his/her upper lip. Your baby will auto suck your nipple like that and it won't be painful. Get yourself a nipple cream. Helps to soothe the pain.

Curious baby and pooping issues

Hello. My baby just turned 2mo 6days and she is on full breastmilk. I do direct latching only and recently I noticed a few things : 1) She doesn't empty my boobs anymore. She used to be able to empty it within 5mins, no distractions, just sucking till satisfaction. Nowadays she gets fussy during latching, pulling and tugging alot so I will have to re-latch multiple times because she is still looking for milk and will cry for it. My flow can be quite fast as it's continuous dripping so I didn't think it was slow flow that cause her to become fussy. I am wondering why she tugs and pulls so much now :( 2) She doesn't poop for 2-3 days but we still get decent number of wet diapers. Is this normal? P.s/ 3) She was taking bottle as and when I need to head out but recently she doesn't seem to know how to suck the bottle anymore. Not even the pacifier. She will cry in hunger but refuse to suck the bottle, even when I'm not anywhere near my sister who is helping me feed her. Should I start introducing bottles to her alrdy? Thanks everyone in advance!

Can’t really advice on the first one, cause I EP mummy. 2) it’s totally normal for BF not to poop for days. If u get a good amount of wet diapers, she should be fine! 3) this happen to my nephew. Like her refuse to drink from the bottle when the mummy not around and will drink well when she’s around. But I’m not sure if that’s the case for u. Maybe can read this article https://kellymom.com/bf/normal/reverse-cycling/
