Does FBM supposed to have a fishy & strong smell? Is that consider spoilt milk? Can we still feed LO if it's not spoilt & normal to have that smell? How Long can they be kept in freezer?

Yes, the milk can still be given. It is normal to have the smell or even metallic smell. It is not spoilt at all. Normal freezer you can keep for a month if it's shared with other food items. Normal freezer without foodstuff other than your bm can be kept for 3 months. Deep or chest freezer, you can keep it from 6-12months.

How do I balance both sides supply? My left boob is producing more than my right. My right usually produces only half of my left or sometimes even lesser. I've tried direct latching, power pump, taking lactation cookies, taking milo, taking milk products, taking more fluids, even hand expressing and it's still not increasing. It's somehow affecting my daily supply. Although I still have enough for my lo now.

Sorry out of topic. Can i know wat bottle are u using for your spectra pump?

Dear fellow parents, It has always been bothering me regarding heating up breast milk. My wife pumps milk regularly and keep stock in the fridge and freezer. What's the take in terms of heating it up? Do we heat up to warm or just room temperature? As I do read book about traditional Chinese medicine, there is cold/寒气 that will be within food, so if just heat up to room temperature then there is no way this cold/寒气 will dissipate. My wife had been reasoning with me that if too hot nutrition from the milk will be gone but then what if our kids health is affect by this cold/寒气, such as asthma or cough due to effect on airway by the cold. Appreciate if someone can share with me your view or info.

Sorry to ride, was just wondering chilled breast milk? How does that work, could you explain further. Never heard of this before.

Hi mummies, I'm an oversupply mum but i don't eat alot, maybe one day 1 meal or if have time, will be 2 meal. Will it affect my baby? Cause i breastfeed her but she doesn't seem to grow bigger. Her birth weight was 4.6kg. Within a month she gained 700g which is at a slow paced. Is it because my milk is not fatty enough to make her gain more? Thank you.

700g weight gain a month seems healthy for a 1 month old baby. Most babies should decrease around 10% weight during their first week, the subsequently increase approx 125g-200g a week. Here's a schedule of roughly how much weight a baby should gain. 2 weeks to 4 months - 125-200g (5-8oz)per week 4 to 6 months - 50-150g (2-6oz)per week 6 to 12 months - 25-75g (1-3oz)per week Remember, what's important on top of weight gain is also to ensure your LO is peeing, pooing and not dehydrated.

I am gg overseas for 11 days soon (without baby). Baby has always been on breastmilk so far. But due to a recent bout of illness, I'm not able to stock up enough frozen bm to last my whole trip. Based on my calculation, she will need 6 x 150ml per 24 hours - so I should need about 66 packs. but I'm possibly only able to store about 50 packs. So, very reluctantly, I think I'll need to introduce fm for 1 feed per day. which brand should I try? And how do I intro fm? If I only want to substitute 1 feed/day, how much should I feed her?

How old if your little one? I personally like aptamil
