Bottle strike?! Please help!

Hi mommies, my 3-month-old daughter suddenly changed her drinking habit. Since 2 weeks ago, she dropped her intake by half (from 900ml to ~ 500ml per day). And for the past 1 week, she refused to take milk from bottles, be it breastmilk or formula. She had been taking milk from bottles since birth without any resistence. Now she gets angry, arches back and forth and pushes the bottle away by hands. She only accepts latch-on. My breastmilk supply is not enough for her consumption. Hence, I can't let her go on without formula top-up. Any mommies experience this before? Please help me! Thanks alot!

It's a phase and will over after awhile. what I did was latch every 2 hourly. Our body works amazingly it can produce enough to make baby full. If you're worried about baby not taking enough due to supply you can try taking milk booster food and do more skin to skin it helps.

Breastfeeding vs bottle-feeding?

Hi mommies, my LO is 10-days old. As a breast cancer survivor, I'm left with one breast for feeding. She is a big eater. While trying to increase milk volume, I was suggested to top up with formula in bottle to match her demand, since she was severely dehyrated. She started to prefer bottle-feeding and refuse to latch on me. It hurts me so much to see her cry out of hunger but I still selfishly wish she could just latch on me a while longer. My friends suggested that I pump out my breast milk and feed her in bottle. But as a mother, the feeling of her sucking my breast is too miraculous to let go. Could you please share what I should do?

Hi dear, I have 2 breasts, but even that wasn’t enough for my little one at 10 days old. And she needed top ups too. I carried on latching on demand, and pumping in between to build up the supply, while still giving her formula. Suddenly at 1 month old, when my supply was good and the flow rate was pretty fast, she only wanted to latch and refused the milk bottle. It swung to the other extreme, and it took me 3 months to get her to even drink anything from the bottle again 😅 Essentially, please don’t give up. You’ve beaten breast cancer! You can fulfill this beautiful dream of breastfeeding too:) drink well, eat well, rest well.. keep latching first (and persevere with her impatience) before topping up with formula after that. Also do power pumping in between your feeds. Hope your supply will build soon and you and baby will enjoy breastfeeding together:)

Hi Mummy, just to share my story. Being a first time mum, I can't latch well. My baby girl will cry loudly because she is too hungry & she doesn't have to patient to latch. Many times she fell asleep while she latch on & 1hr later she ended up crying for milk again. Personally I prefer to pump out & feed her. I know how much she is drinking & she is happy! Don't stress yourself too much! You are doing very well mummy!

Is epidural suggested??!!

Hi Mommies, I'm gonna be a first-time mom soon. Due in a-month time. Despite being told about the unbearable labor pain, I'm still hesitating about having epidural, after reading several cases of mishaps. Could you please share with me how was your experience? Thanks so much!

Opt for it only when you really can't take the pain anymore. Even though the pain is unbearable, but I believe we can handle it in many ways. You can attend childbirth class to learn more about the relaxation techniques for labor
