Help! My 2 weeks old refuse to sleep in the morning for 2 days now. She will wake up at 6 am until 2 pm. Latch her every hour for at least an hour each latch and can feel she really empty the breasts. But she still awake and wanting more feed.

It's normal. They are adapting to the time difference.

My baby is 2 weeks old now and she has been fed with breast milk and top up with formula once or twice at night. It seems that my milk supply is not satisfied her hunger at night. I tried to pump out and the most I can get is 40 ml from both breasts. Can I ask when is your milk supply kick in? Is it normal that 2 weeks my supply is only about 40 ml per pump?

Hi have any of you tried Haenim breast pump? I'm looking for a double electrical pump that's affordable and good for working Mom. If you have any to recommend that would be great!

Haven't tried haenim, but looking at many review it seem pretty good with its bluetooth feature, i am personally use spectra 9s. great for work as it's portable. But if you are a heavy pumping mum, best to get anther heavy duty pump for urself too

I am direct latching a 2 mth old and exclusively pumping for my 15mth old. I have been getting recurring blocked ducts. Usually, i'd just put on hot compress and massage it under hot shower thereafter. But the block ducts have gotten stubborn lately as i have not been pumping as we were out and about for the past 1 week. I wouldnt want to try the cold cabbage cos afraid it will affect supply as many mummies mentioned. Will calling a massage lady help? Any other tips u mummies can share? Also, any possible reasons for recurring blocked ducts even when i have been latching on demand? TIA MUMMIES! ?

You can try taking some lechtin. It doesn't cut ur supply down, it helps to thin your milk so it doesn't get block easily

Hi Mummies, anyone knows what i can do with my expired frozen breastmilk? I have excess lipase content in my milk, so it smells super fishy. I tried doing a milk bath once, but it really smells. Can i still send it in to make soap bars?

Try calling them up and check, better option

Is it true that wearing wired bras will have blocked ducts? Isit better to wear non-wired bras during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

Yes true. I got masititis while wearing wired bra during breastfeeding.

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