Latching To Sleep

Hi my 5 day old newborn has learnt the art of wanting to latch to sleep. As I don't want thus to be a bad habit, how can I wean him off when he cries each time he is wide awake but can't fall asleep, looking for a latch?

Hi... instead of latching, try rocking him to sleep

How does working mum stored their EBM during working time? Keep EBM in cooler bag with ice pack then put in fridge? Then once reach home, to put in chiller or freezer?

Store expressed milk, with a clear label, in the back of the office fridge or a cooler while you're at work . Bring it home in a cool bag or box with an ice pack. Freshly expressed milk at room temperature is best used within four hours .

Does drinking lemon water affect breast milk supply?

Influencer của TAP

Lemon water is organic and healthy. This hydrates you. It should not affect your breast milk supply negatively

Any ep mummies notice their milk is slightly pinkish?? i read online that its because of blood in the milk. my supply dropped by a lot, im not sure if i should dump the milk bc it has blood or safe to let baby drink

It's fine, no need to discard as sometimes it's due to sore nipples, cracked/dry etc.

i regret during my early days i didn't pump often... now my supply has dropped drastically and i don't have enough to feed my baby.... now i pump for 3mins both side n it'll be dry... any tips to get back supply fast

Try to pump after feedings and use a hospital grade breast bump. Ideally, pump at least every 3 hours. Also, feed on both sides and Long enough to drain each breast well. Be patient with yourself and take care..

Hi mummies, need some advice on my flange size. I have tried 24, 21 and 19mm but it all seem not suitable as my areola seem to get pull in still. At 19mm, my nipples are already rubbing the size (means too small) but the areola is still getting pull in and it feel sore and red. I think this is affecting how much output I have whenever I pumped. Anybody have similar issues, any advice?

the pump I know mostly size 24, 28, 30 what pump did u use? last time I use medela flange size 24 and I have no issue with it. My friend bought haenim and she say she can use size 24 without the padding or size 28 with the padding. Maybe u should try another size or another pump, the expression power might be different for each brand

Growth Spurt? Cluster Feeding?

Hello mummies. My lo is currently 3 weeks old. Recently she has this moment where she would wake up for milk and then after feeding doesn't go back to sleep. And she will keep showing signs of hunger (sticking tongue out multiple times & eating her hand) after feeding, i tot she's still hungry so feed her again however after she drink she will spit out the milk and continue showing signs of hunger and all repeat. Hunger > feed > spit milk > repeat What should I do? Just pat her to sleep if it's not really hunger? Few days ago on sunday she had a moment of what I thought was growth spurt or cluster feed where between 9am to 7pm I feed her almost every 45mins to 1hr apart. However during those moment where she constantly cry for milk (show signs of hunger) after feeding she will vomit milk. And over the span of probably 5hrs she projectile vomit 5 times. She vomited alot literally probably 50-70ml of milk all flew out. And the milk are not fresh which she just drank, but digested. Is there anything we are doing wrong? I always tried to feed her with her head higher up so she can digest properly instead of lying down and we always burp her after every feed and hold her there for extra 5-10mins more before putting her down. Tia for ur advices.

Maybe give her bottle for a few nights and intro paci?

Hi... if you’re breastfeeding, your child will stop sucking if she’s full. If you’re expressing and bottle-fed her, you should follow feeding guidelines. If your child is hungry, she will cry.
