Aby... if don't breastfeed a newborn at night... how can? I'm assuming that Vone wants to do exclusive breastfeeding with no supplementation. A little alcohol really won't kill, I think... just don't drink a whole litre! Most of us take a tiny little cup right?Hi Vone!! For myself I discard all the milk leak into the breast shells and no breastfeeding in the night after I drink DOM..
I used breast shells with holes for air circulation.. I don't prefer breast pads as I leaked alot and very embarassed when out with the whole blouse stained badly.. The pads pressed unto the nipples and if leaked badly, it's so wet!! During the 1st one, I suffered from blocked ducts while the 2nd one no such problem at all thus I really prefer breast shells to pads.. The shells will catch little milk thus no wastage at all..Aby... if don't breastfeed a newborn at night... how can? I'm assuming that Vone wants to do exclusive breastfeeding with no supplementation.

As for breast shells.. never used them. Didn't like that. Used breastpads/towels. Keep a stack of them next to your nursing station for use on baby or yourself! Used to sleep on a towel too... in case of leaks at night. Easier than changing bedsheets so often.
Like what jopeck advise, drink right after u finish bf bb.. Thus there's always an interval after.. Cheers!!!Yup ~ Suddenly i got like 6 bottles of dom appearing out of nowhere >_<
And MIL alrdy used 1 bottle to make soup and food.
But she insist i take a small cup of it before i slp at nite. But im worried if it'll affect the breastmilk if im feeding him at nite. So i still am able to bf him after drinking alittle right?
Agree. If you really have to drink straight from a cup, and you're worried about the alcohol content, take it after expressing or nursing.Personally, I believe that everything in moderation is fine. After all, baby will learn different tastes through your breastmilk (it changes in taste depending on what you've been eating!)
If you are worried about the alcohol content, some moms drink immediately after a feed so as to maximise the time taken between feeds. If you are planning to use it during your confinement, consider adding it to soups. If you bring the soup to a boil after adding the DOM, the alcohol content will evaporate. That way you still get the goodness while getting rid of the alcohol. That's what we did when making herbal soups and they tasted really yummy.
Yap, me same method of consuming DOM and martell as you, serene..hi vone,
A shot of DOM before u go to bed, is fine. u can feel the different the next day u wake up. u can ask yr mil to boil half bottle of martell with a chicken drumstick, its very gd for u.
Try it once a week.
Congrats.
