I'm currently breastfeeding my newborn. Is it true that I need to stay away from caffeine, dairy and peanut products for as long as i am breastfeeding? How can I tell if my lo is allergic to the above food items? Reason I'm asking is because I've seen people selling bm booster cookies that usually contain chocolate or peanut butter. Thanks!

I am worried i might not have enough breastmilk for my baby, but also worried that if i take from donating mummies we do not know how safe is the milk. My friend suggest that i feed goat milk to my newborn if i do not have enough milk. Does anyone here do the same? As in feeding your bb goatmilk?

Are you currently pregnant? Don't write yourself off that you won't have plenty of supply. For all you know, you may be an oversupply mum!

Hi mummies This is related to a previous post of mine.. My pump model is spectra but the parts I connected to is medela swing maxi shield and membrane...i saw these valves and membrane which I'm considering whether to switch the type of valve n membrane I used in the past.. The one I'm using is those flat yellow rubbery kind with a plastic cap. Anyone used the other types before too? Wanna know which is better... the spare part for mine is alot more expensive(the $36+ first photo) while the other kind seems more worth it...oh and any drastic difference between the maymom($7.90) valve and the normal one($11.90)? Pardon me if my question is not very clear cus abit hard to explain thru writing...

I see thanks Lizzie! I'm contemplating whether to continue using my old one, which is the first photo, but have to buy a new pair of valves which means I have to buy the entire connector since that rubber think inside doesn't come alone unlike the rest...

Currently i am having red patches at breast. Baby is on full direct latch. The boob are generally soft already however its painful when pressed at certain area. Having on n off fever since last night n had taken 2 dosage of panadol. Is it mastitis already? Should i continue to monitor as i continue to let bb latch or i need to start on antibiotics already?

It does sounds like mastitis. Mastitis is an inflammation of the breast that could be caused by obstruction, infection or an allergy. It may come on abruptly and is usually and is usually associated with fever and likely to be more painful than a blocked duct. Try using heat and gentle massage before nursing may help ease the discomfort. While nursing, continue to nurse on the affected breast and try to get a good latch. After nursing, pump or express milk to help empty the breast. Apply cold compress to ease pain and inflammation.

Whenever I breastfeed my lo, she is unae to locate my nipple immediately. She may turn to the wrong direction, or even if I place the nipple on her lips for her to latch on easily, she will still take a while to fumble through before being able to suckle successfully. This resulted in her getting frustrated and irritated. Is this due to poor latching, or any way for improvement? Thanks.

Don't think so this is due to poor latching. How old is lo? If this is the beginning stage, kind of normal. Happens to me too.

Does breastfeeding mom drinking iced drinks (particularly ice chocolate) cause running nose or cold in their babies?

no no! it's not caused by mom taking cold stuffs.

How to do mix feeding?

May I check why mix feelings? To me, if possible, go fully on breast milk. If supply is an issue, increase the demand or pump as much as possible like every 3 hourly.

Any exclusively pumping mummy can also be successful in career too? :'(

I did EP for both my children. It didn't affect my career instead my bosses were very understanding. To make it up, I worked hard and worked smart too. My career has been good and has promoted twice within 5 years.
