It certainly is possible to breastfeed after a C-section. I know many moms who did that, including me :001_302:. There's medicine which is compatible with breastfeeding.
Hi Nyati, I got the bags from Food For Totz - Hassle Free Breastfeeding For Mums Each box of 25 bags cost about $8.50. Delivery was $1.20 or $1.50 or free.
Me too! I used Nanny storage bags. I love them, so easy to use with the double locking system. I tried another one but it was so fiddly that I simply stuck with Nanny bags!

I pump for between 20min - 30min each time. I've tried a few times to pump longer than that, but not a drop of milk...
hey, when you massage after pumping, can you feel "lumps" in your...
I have the same problem with my PISA (and Ameda and Avent Manual pump too). What I do this: After the pump isn't extracting anymore milk, I let it continue for another five mins. Sometimes, I will remove it and massage the breasts first. If there is no more milk flowing in that five mins. I will...
My gynae at NUH was T M Chua. I'd made an appointment to see another gynae but some issues cropped out and i needed to see a gynae asap. NUH managed to make an appointment to see T M Chua that very day. I stuck with her as my gynae. There were some issues throughout my pregnancy, and she was...
