Buying breast pump

Should I buy breast pump before delivery ? Some of my friends recommend me not to buy first in case I am not able to breastfeed.

Buy haakaa to have on standby.

frozen bm smell

Hi mummies, anyone gone through this whereby your LO seems to reject ur warmed up frozen ebm, and the ebm seems to smell? Mine smelled like vomit. Did a little Google search and suspect it is due to lipase activity. Would a lactation consultant be any helpful if i consult him/her? Hope to make feeding of my LO as pleasant as possible. It is very stressful and unhappy for us now.

To keep that smell low you got to store in freezer as soon as you pump. Alternatively, you can mix frozen bm and fresh bm to let baby get used to it. Start off with 70 percent fresh and frozen 30 percent. Slowly become 50 50. Then 30 fresh 70 frozen. And after baby ok full frozen.

Same! But as long as hitting milestones, I'm sure it's fine! Please double check with doctor at baby's 6 months check up!

Mother in law does not allow me to drink cold drinks at all cause it’ll cause my baby to have asthma. Not even a glass or a sip. Is this true?

Mixing bm from different storage bags

Hi, I have a bag of 50ml and a bag of 40ml bm. Can I heat up both bags together and pour them into the same bottle to feed my newborn?

Is it ok to latch baby on one side while waiting for stored bm to heat up, and then latch baby on the other side after if baby is still hungry?

How to increase breastmilk supply?

Recently, I stopped breastfeeding and pumping due to busy schedule. Today I want to start breastfeeding again, however I realised my breast become smaller and the supply become lesser. Is it possible for milk supply to be back again? What are some ways I can do? Thank you very much. ?

Milk supply will drop because it is about demand and supply. When you don’t breastfeed or pump, you are signalling to your body that you don’t need the milk. Yes, it’s possible to regain supply but you need to be diligent and breastfeed/pump every 3 hour, even in the middle of the night. You can also do power pumping for 1 of the session, preferably at night since milk production peaks at night. Eat milk boosters such as oats, dates, salmon and durians etc and drink lots of water (at least 2 litres). All the best!
