how do you maintain your milk supply when you fall sick and needs to rest? i had this prob as i felt sick quite often during my ml, affecting my milk supply

Keeping yourself hydrated, drink and replace your electrolytes. Eat in small portions and rest.

I am currently in my last leg of expressing milk. Pump no longer works so i hand express. 2x a day, each time only 80ml. Just nice for 1 feed a day. However, if i drop to 1x a day, i wont have enough for a feed and freshly express milk cannot put in the fridge for more than 2 days unless i freeze it. But dont make sense to freeze so little milk. Anyone has tips on what to do with such amount of milk? Also because i hand express, there are marks on my breast. Very unsightly. Anyone got tips how to get rid of those marks?

I hand express as well. but I don't have any marks. what marks are you referring too?

Hi mummies My baby started school but still trying bottles here. Teachers wanna cut the teat to make the flower faster cus he rejects the newborn and take v long to drink. I'm not keen on that as I'm afraid there will be nipple confusion...how?shud they cut??

you don't need to convince them. you should just tell them how and what you want them to do. good to get a stronger flow test as well.

Hi, my office is at International Plaza, and they don't have a nursing room. The toilets are quite old and not very clean, so I'm hesitant about pumping in the toilets. Anyone has any suggestions?

Pump at your desk. Use a nursing cover to give yourself privacy.

Hi dear mumies, My baby is 18 days old She drinks about 120 ml per time Before i feed her about 80 ml per time But sometimes still hungry that why my husband told to feed her 120 ml per time. Each time i just can pump max about 80 ml and now i tried to pump more so i feel it turns less milk, can you guys suggest me what i should eat to have more milk? and should i just feed her 80 ml?

Drink more water. Try Milo. Oats. All these helps me

I have stopped pumping at 15 mths. It wasn't planned, LO got too active, i end up having no time to pump (EP mum). I can't help but to feel guilty..... should i start trying to pump every 2hrs again? Though it feels almost impossible as im the main caretaker and i dont have help

do you direct latch?

How do you know that you've emptied your breast milk? Does it mean that when you try to hand express it, there won't be milk coming out? I can't feel the flow of the milk coming out from the nipples too, even though there is milk coming out.

Your boobs will never be empty. The best way to know if it's emptied is when it's really soft.
