I am on bf and formula for my LO. He is just 2 months and I recently encounter toothache and I had painkillers(arcoxia) from dental but the medicine is strong don't know if I can still bf my LO after I take the medicine?

Agree with the mom above, pump and throw. If really necessary, consult your dentist and see if he can prescribe any other alternatives which may not disrupt the bf.

What do you do when your milk gets clogged up?

Warm compress and then breastfeed more.

I am trying out bottle-fed training my LO before returning back to work (also to get some extra rest during the day since my mother can help bottle feed her). If she is bottle fed, she will not take my breast for that feeding. That means my breasts can go for a longer stretch without any nursing. Will that affect my milk supply? Should I still pump as she feeds? Currently I pump only in the early morning (2-4am) after feeding.I fill 2 100ml bottles to be used in the day.

Hi there. Yes, u will need to pump still if u wish to maintain ur supply. There are 2 ways to count pumping sessions. One way is to pump x hourly (or latch x hourly) ad the other way is to use the breast x times in a 24 hr period (may be pump or latch). So as long as "how much u use ur boobs" does not change, then ur supply will not change. So it depends on if u want to maintain ur supply? U might not want to not use ur boobs for such a long stretch too, in case of engorgement? So u need to pump or reconsider the timings of ur pump/latch

My 4-month old squirms all the time when breastfeeding. She wriggles, flails her arms and legs (sometimes quite violently), and rubs at her face. I'm finding it difficult to keep her latched on. Why is she doing this and should I try to pin her arms down when nursing?

All great ideas. I'll give them a shot. Thanks ladies!

Any mommies can guide how to bring back EBM while overses? TIA

How long is your flight? If it's not long haul, fridge to go is very helpful! You can get it at kiddypalace.

How much expressed breastmilk does a 3 month old usually consume per feeding? Mine has been taking 100ml per feeding since 2 months old. Wondering if that's okay.

My girl drinks about 70ml every two hourly and latches at home. She managed to be at 90th percentile despite everyone telling me she is drinking too little.

How much milk and how often does a 7 month old baby drink for mummies who express breast milk out for baby to drink? I am returning to work and previously direct latched baby because she doesnt like to drink from the bottle. She is still semi rejecting the bottle and worried that she is not taking enough.

My 7 month old is taking 4 bottles of EBM a day - 240ml, 150 ml x 3. Just note she sleeps through the night hence she gets a bigger bottle in he morning. On top of that, she takes 2 solid meals a day (small portion) and approx 50ml of water if you're worried about her milk intake, you can always add some EBM to her "drier" food eg sweet potato, avocado, potato.

Isit normal for supply to drop after 1 day of engorgement and fever?

Hi, Yes, it can affect the milk supply. Though, it should not happen in just one day of engorgement but a few cases it may happen. But if it has happened then you can use breast pump and it will help relieve the pain caused by engorgement. And after that continue with the normal feeding to the child. You can also take use moist hot pad on the breasts for a few minutes. Make sure, that you do not do it for prolonged period as it may worsen the swelling. Gentle massage also helps in breast relaxation. You must consult a doctor if you have fever higher than 101 as it may be a signal of breast infection.
