A week before my period in April, my BM supply dropped by a lot compared to the the last few months just before my period came. Usually, my supply will bounce back after my period. However, it was not the same this time round. My supply did not bounce back to what it was before. Is it possible/ are there ways to get back my supply?

Are you direct latching your baby? Try to latch more often and drink more soups such as fish papaya soup to boost your milk supply. If you are doing pumping, you can try to pump at a close interval at the same time take milk booster soups.

I am a massive over supply mum and I hate it - I am constantly leaking and my breasts are always engorged. I feel my whole life is either devoted to DL baby or pumping milk. How do I handle this?

Starting six months breastfeeding mommy facing this problem. For that you can do... . When you begin to feel the tingly sensation of milk letdown, apply firm pressure to your breasts by crossing your arms over your chest and hugging yourself. You can also use the base of the palm of your hands to press over the nipple. If you are in office or sitting at public areas that time cup your chin in your hands and press your forearms into your breasts. Really it will help.

What is the greatest challenge when you are total breastfeed and need to go out with your baby ?

For me, the biggest challenge was to find a nursing room. My hub was not comfortable for me to bf my children in public, using nursing cover. He felt others are looking at us. At times, one of the challenges is having to wait to use the nursing room. N it can take a while as others are also bf their LO. Hence, we usually prefer to go to bigger malls with bigger n more nursing rooms

Which brands of calcium supplements do you recommend for consumption due to breastfeeding? Thanks!

For breastfeeding mommies, it's recommended to take calcium supplements that are combined with magnesium to allow for adequate assimilation into the body. You can try Blackmores Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Advanced -- it contains ample calcium and magnesium, along with other vitamins and minerals beneficial for breastfeeding mommies. Blackmores, to me, is a very reputable brand and I've taken other vitamins and supplements by them and I have no complaints at all. Plus, Blackmores supplements are easily available in major pharmacies like Watsons, Guardian etc, retailing at around $36/-. http://www.watsons.com.sg/Product-Categories/Health/Health-supplements/Vitamins-%26-general-supplements/Pregnancy-%26-Breastfeeding-Advanced-60'S/p/BP_37334

What do you do when you are outside and didn't bring a pump but you are so engorged? Do you just hand express and throw away the milk?

Hi Cheryl, yes if I'm outside and forgotten to bring my breast pump, I will hand express and throw away the milk. Usually I will put one or two breast storage bags in my handbag just in case. I can hand express and store my milk in those bags. Breast milk can be left in room temperature for 3-4 hours and hopefully I will get home in time to store the milk in the fridge.
