did you check his diaper output? If his diaper output is normal, then it's not dehyration. Apply some BM on his lips.

Is coffee a milk killer? i noticed a drop of supply after i had coffee abt 2 hrs prior to pumping.

Coffee is a diuretic, it will dehydrate you and most likely will affect your milk supply as well.

Any mummies using the packit cooler bag to transport milk from work back home ? Is it good ?

Hi mummy, I've got a colleague who uses packit cooler bag to transport milk from work and back home. It keeps her breast milk cold for up to 6 hours (depending on external temperatures). She mentioned that it's easy to clean with soap and water.They’re PVC-, BPA- and lead-free, and nontoxic, at least according to the manufacturer.The main advantage of using this bag is that it's easy to pack and you don't have to worry about remembering ice or gel. She received the bag as a gift and she have no complains about it. Hope this helps.

I'm wondering how to do laid back position? Looking at the pictures, won't LO nose be block as he/she is facing down against our boob? is this only suitable for more well endowed mommies? Also, when doing side lying position, LO tends to kick and kick before she can get a good latch. Sometimes if she don't latch well, she can come off a few times. Any tips? Same Qns is side lying more suitable for well endowed mommies? I am a full B cup now I think + abit more. LoL.

I watched this demo video (link below) I found on youtube about laid back breastfeeding and it doesn't look like baby's nose will be blocked. I think if mommy is propped up a little as she lies back, it will be okay. Reckon all mommies have different preferences when it comes to their most comfortable and most optimal breastfeeding position. Well endowed or not, try a variety of positions and see which one you like best :) https://youtu.be/_KbnWX2439c

How you sterilize your pump parts and storage bottle? Im using spectra m1 and Autumnz storage bottle, can all put in the steamer to sterilize? Because some saying that storage bottle cannot put in the steamer because temperature too high

If your Autumz Storage bottle is BPA-Free, you can sterilize using the steamer.

Is it necessary to pump after direct latching little one? My boobs actually feels ok after that but I'm worried about not clearing whatever is left

no need to do so unless you need to stimulate breasts to produce more BM.

I heard that you should not breastfeed if you have just exercised. Any truth to this?

This is nonsense; it is perfectly safe to breastfeed after you have exercised.

Is it true that our mood can affect the quality of our breast milk?

To add on, if you are stressed out or in a sullen mood, breastfeeding can actually be relaxing and relieve you of your stress.
