    Random: 'bad' smells at work

    I went searching for some essential oils or something like that to put at my desk. But was told by the lady that I shouldn't be smelling essential oils as well. :( So I went to get a bottle of 'feng you'. Think the fan is a good idea. Can use it to circulate the air and blow away the bad smell.

    I soak the parts in hot water after each pump. Yes. The tablets does have a smell. I used the Pigeon ones before. But since its safe for baby use, should be ok i guess. Also read somewhere that you can keep the parts in the fridge until the next pump. My colleague uses the Medela bag, where...

    Setting breasting routine

    Yes. milk flow and supply can be slower towards the end of the day... This can be explained by the fact that you are not as well rested during that time, so milk production slow down and hence, it affects the supply and the flow. But usually babies will want to latch more or longer so that...

    Setting breasting routine

    Then sounds like your baby is not crying for milk. She could be crying for other stuff... colic, attention, a hug, could be bored, too hot, too cold... Maybe some rocking, singing may help...

    What food must avoid if breastfeed?

    Avoid ginger if baby has jaundice. Alcohol that is cooked is ok. Was told by PD to avoid raw fish as long as you are bf-ing. All others in moderation.

    Setting breasting routine

    No use setting a routine, as your baby will probably not follow it. Feed on demand is better. Helps you to establish your supply. Keep a record of when your baby is hungry and wants to feed. From there, you will be able to see a routine/cycle. And you can work around that.
