dont think it's advisable to mix EBM with FM. but can give in separately though.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.
my supply dipped once DS turned 6 mths & started on semi-solids. from 16oz a day to now 30ml a day! since baby starts on semi-solids, BM intake will drop & hence dip in supply.Dear Sleepymama,
How long do you take to pump per session and how much ?
Is it normal for EBM to decrease when baby is more than 24 months old ? Last week I just had this sudden decrease in EBM and am worried as to why this is happening.
If I try to add an additional pumping session (eg. 12 pm) between pumping sessions (eg. 10 am and 2 pm), I find that I can hardly collect any EBM at the 12 pm session.
express as & when I'm able to. bring EBM to nanny for her to accumulate the amount he needs.Hi Elaine,
Just wondering, do you supply your bb with formula when he's abt 1yr+?
My supply now depletes alot, despite the fact I bf him every 2 hrs now to increase it
Am worried he dun get enuf supply, so i try to give him formula bit by bit this pas few days
But the thing is he simply refused it! i ended up throwing it every day *sigh*
i've got abt 5 cans of diff brands open but he just sniff 'em out!
help...

Hi elaine01,express as & when I'm able to. bring EBM to nanny for her to accumulate the amount he needs.
past 12 mths, can offer fresh milk or baby juices. i started to give DS goat's milk. but he's still asking for BM after that. so i must continue to express for him. yes, i collect very little but give him whatever i have.:tlaugh:

Hi Xue-erdoes anyone knows whether is it still okie to give BM to baby now tt I'm antibiotics?
Hi snowbearHi, I've been total bfding - but fully expressed coz my dd refused to drink from breast - for 3 weeks now (dd was supplemented with formula at hospital).
but I've been in pain since i started bfding. My nipples have been sore and haven't got better, just worse. They were sore and then they cracked. And i get engorgement all the time! I just realised i got plugged ducts recently and i just saw the lactation consultant on tues to clear them - i actually think the pain is comparable to giving birth, was crying and screaming!
The lactation consultant taught me to latch bb again and i succeeded getting her to drink from my breast a few times before she rejected me again. She put up a fight and now i've got blisters on my nipples. I feel like i'm torturing myself every day and every time i pump. I cannot understand why anyone would enjoy bfding. It's so painful i can't really enjoy my daughter. Tempted to wean her off slowly but the guilt is killing me (but so is the pain). I keep crying when the pain and the guilt set in. sigh... what should i do?
