    "Set small targets", that is what my Lactation Consultant advised me when I shared my worries of breastfeeding. It was indeed a rough start - I remember having this gorgeous baby boy in my arms but instead of being happy, the both of us were crying. I never knew that breastfeeding did not come naturally for everyone.


    Small targets, she repeated. Aim for one week, then ...

    There are many mothers who believe that breastfeeding can help them to lose weight after delivery. This is because while breastfeeding, our body burns up to 750 extra calories to support the production of milk. Whatever the mother eats will be converted into nutrients that will be passed on to the baby while breastfeeding.

    So can one really lose much weight and get back in shape from breastfeeding her baby?

    Breastfeeding is the normal and natural way of feeding babies. Every pregnant woman dreams of perfect bonding sessions with her baby. But for some, breastfeeding can be challenging. In Singapore as in many other developed countries, less than half of mothers still partially breastfeed after two months.

    About one in six women may experience one or more episodes of mastitis, an inflammation of the breasts that can be accompanied by infection. Mastitis symptoms include pain, swelling, redness, ...

    When my little princess was born, I continually struggled with array of latch and supply issues. Despite my specific birth plan, which stated explicitly that she would be breastfed and no bottles were to be given, she was given formula milk through cup fed. Reason being that I couldn't truly produce sufficient milk flow to nourish her.

    I was crushed the first time I gave her a bottle     ...

    To many mothers, getting a reliable pump is a good way to start breastfeeding. I can’t agree more because especially for first time mothers, having a good pump will ease your anxiety and build your confidence. After all, many learn by squeezing and pressing and hurrying the milk out because of your newborn is crying desperately for milk. Quite dramatic isn’t it?

    2. Breastfeed

    It is unlikely that anyone will start producing milk during late stage of pregnancy. Even if you do, the quantity will be very little. The first milk called colostrum will be produced after you deliver and that’s why it is essential to let your newborn suck within the first hour of delivery to stimulate production of milk. Colostrum is very rich in nutrient but low in quantity but most of the time ...
