Can my 15mo LO share with my newborn breastmilk?

Yes definitely if you have enough to feed both

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.

did they state lactating please seek doctor advise? If no, it would be ok.

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.

My baby is AA 8.5months CA 5months. She is drinking abt 100-120ml every 3 hours. I used to be an oversupply mummy with a frozen stash. But now, I'm left with nothing in the freezer n I only get to pump once at work and gets only about 100ml. Baby latches at night but I'm not sure if she gets enough milk or not. She latches every 1-2hours... I'm so tired as I don't get enough proper sleep every night. She drinks formula milk in daylight when I'm not with her. Does anyone have any recommendations of daily meal routine with can increase BM supply?

This is what I do, baby latches at night too. He sleeps next to me. So he will latch and I'll sleep literally the whole. Night. Pretty much every 1-2hours as well. However he drinks lesser in the day, I guess it's because he has been comfort feeding the whole night. The co sleeping really helps.

I work 8:30 am - 6 pm. How often do u ladies pump at work? N at what time? My baby's last latch is about 6am. I pump only once at lunchtime. Does ur supervisor track ur pumping time? Do u compensate ur time to work? Eg, if u pump 10am and 4pm for 20 mins each time, will ur company expect u to work till 6:40 pm?

Seriously I don't really care so I'll just go and pump when I need. But I'll pump about 10minutes only la.
