Breastfeeding

Dear mummies out there, congrats on your pregnancy journey. Of course as all we know breast milk is essential for newborn. Somehow, some mothers facing problem initially and end up give up due to nipple issues and assumption of latching issues. Actually, our newborn are smart to smell and find our nipple and latch naturally. The first important thing is bond. Bond? Yes, skin to skin. You put your little cutey on your bare chest and hug 🤗. You create warm to him/her and you will feel so loved. That’s where your hormone kicked in to build supply. Secondly, please Ensure proper latching technique. Please use nursing pillow provided by KKH lactation department and please ask for their pump.They have Medela Symphony pump, so please use it to express your colostrum or otherwise hand expressions once you back to ward. You also can ask that you want to do skin to skin with the ward Nurses and they will help you. Please ask for skin to skin from the Nurses if you never had the chance in labour room or in operating theatre. Do it as soon as possible once you in ward after delivery. For latching videos - I suggest to watch Breastfeeding from Global health Project Media in YouTube. The videos explained clearly about newborn and latching techniques. Thirdly, please tell the nurse that you want to breastfeed your little cutey not formula milk. You don’t worry that your baby will very hungry like never eat for few days. Remember, your placenta is feeding your little one till it is out😊. Finally, please approach the Nurses if you have any inquiry, assistance and need lactation Consultant immediately. Hope this tips will help you to initiate a successful breastfeeding with your little cutey. Note: 1. this may NOT applicable for complicated cases which need further medical attention. 2. Please ask your doctor to refer you to breastfeeding course. Really benefits you.

Hi fellow mummies, are there any ways to slowly wean off pumping? Seems like despite my efforts to stagger the pump timing, the engorgement is always in the early morning. #1stimemom #advicepls
