Hi thanks :tlaugh:Thanks sleepymama.:biggrin: According to the chart, my gal is consider average. But still, i wish she can put on a little more. Miss her chubby cheeks neh.
Oh yes, I mixed EBM for her cereal. But that's only 1oz.
BooBoo- congrates. You just delivered Boo2 two weeks ago? Wats the age gap between the siblings? Welcome to the BF club.
How long do you take to pump during each session and how many times a day ? How much EBM do you pump per session ? Do you pump at work ? How much EBM does your baby consume per day ?Hi stonston
I was like you, oversupply.. till my freezer was bursting and worse, i kena mastitis three times! *faint*
I managed to cut down (by shortening the duration of each pumping session gradually, ie. not to empty the breast completely) a few months ago, so my dd = ss now
All the best! You can do it too
Hi bluechin,Hi AngelLove,
You would need to estimate the amt of ebm your baby requires while you are travelling away from baby and ensure you have a sufficient stash for your baby.
And when you are travelling, you will have to make time to pump regularly to ensure maintain your supply for baby upon your return. You can either pump and dump or pump and store hence bringing the ebm back home.
Babies are very adaptable but do make sure you return with lots of hugs and kisses for baby when u return home.
Maybe you can try giving her more cereal and mashed fruits, the vitamins from there are more than a standard FM.Hi
My baby gal is 11mth old now and I have been giving her TEBM. I intend to gv her partial BM and so started introducing FM. But she doesnt like the taste of FM and have been rejecting milk. So, I mixed the FM with ser ome EBM and she doesnt mind.
My concern here is whether it is OK to mixed warmed EBM with FM in one bottle to feed baby. Will it compromise the quality and nutritional values of the milk.? My gal just refuses take a whole bottle of FM and this cant go on cos my supply cant meet her demand now. I am pumping 3 x a day and each time yield abt 3oz. Her daily consumption is around 17oz.
