Breastfeeding journey

how to start breastfeeding & maintain supply? When should i start pumping & storing etc? i’m a first time mum here..

Super Mom

Right after giving birth! But breast milk may kick in later, each mum is different - mine only came on the 5th day. Latch on demand. Pump every 3-5 hours. Keep hydrated & don't be stress! To increase supply, try milk boosters amd power pump.

Hi mummies, I'm currently DL my baby. I will be returning to work soon. I aim to pump 3 times during work every 3 hourly. However each pump only yield 1 feed for baby. Baby will require 5 feeds when I'm away. Anyone in the same situation can advise how to get the 2 feeds? Baby wakes up 2-3 times at night for milk so I can't pump motn.

Try to increase your supply and keep stash. You can increase your supply by after latching pump. Bm works in supply and demand mode. As your baby get older you don't need to pump 3 hourly to get the supply you can even hold up to 6 hours. It will be easier for you too. Another way to collect milk is to use haakaa when latching the other breast will have milk leak collect them.

Baby refusing to latch

Help me, breastfeeding mummies! My 5 days old bb is refusing to latch. I had given in to top up fm while in the hospital cus I didn’t have much supply initially and I can’t latch him well (short nipples as told by LC) and he kept crying. So after coming home I started to pump out and bottle feed. Now I have the supply but he doesn’t want to latch at all. Once he suckle a few times he will start to cry already. Is there any way to make him latch now? I really hope to direct latch in the long run instead of pumping. Please help!

I have no solution except that familiarity breeds! So keep practising. Also want to give you some encouragement! A fed baby is better than a hungry baby. You are already doing your best! Fighting!!

Mummies with flat nipples

Does anyone experience flat nipples breastfeeding ? Do they have to rely on nipple shield forever during breastfeeding ? Cause the baby does suck from the real nipple, she struggles and kick..

Can you eat cabbage? It won't affect milk production if not applied to breast right?

Super Mom

Can eat in moderation

My LO is now 3 weeks old. I always try to latch him as much as possible Everyday. My mum will bottle feed him when I am asleep (5am - 10am /11am usually) as I took the midnight shift . I always wake up very engorge. Then I will latch him the first thing after I woke up. I need that few hours sleep as I find it hard to slp when my baby slp as I Nd to let my mum rest too. I have enough milk supply. By using haakaa, I usually get around 60ml -120ml per latching, and my LO is currently on half bm and fm due to jaundice. 1. Will this routine lessen my supply? 2. Is it that I have to follow strictly with the ‘pump every 2 hours ‘ advise that I see on every article? 3. Do u all pump every two hours on schedule even during sleeping time?

Will suggest you to pump or latch 2 to 3 hourly first. Until your milk have stable. Any dragging at this point will lead to Engorment or even Mastitis. Its from my experience. I understand its very tiring and torturing. You just need to endure awhile more. Slowly you can pump lesser time a day. I start to drop pump when my baby is 3 month old.
