Hi veryberry, how much is your feed at 10-11pm?
im having the same problem too... if u jus hav no milk eating any food that helps to increase the flow also has no use. i tried fenugreek but no use...milk not enough for her...everytime i try to breastfeed her for half hour...
after few minutes, she will cried again due to hungry...
So, i stop to breastfeed her... When I stopped to breastfeed her, i was blamed myself was not a good mummy...
PD at KK is defintiely more expensive (but not sure how much more)By the way, happytots, do you also take vaccination injection at the PD at KK? If yes, is it more expensive than that at polyclinic?
Yes... agreed.. i had to stop bf @ 2 months as well (simply not enough for every feed).. was so depressed!im having the same problem too... if u jus hav no milk eating any food that helps to increase the flow also has no use. i tried fenugreek but no use...
Mostly low milk supplied is associated with lack of stimulation. Not related to how much milk you drink during your pregnancy. I remember a midwife help woman without baby to stimulate milk supply by baby latching on. Two weeks later their milk supply flow in. It's amazing! The body knows how much you need and how much to produce milk. Again it's a choice lah.Yes... agreed.. i had to stop bf @ 2 months as well (simply not enough for every feed).. was so depressed!
Just happy baby is thriving..
Maybe in future for #2 we should take more milk when we are pregnant? and.. express express feed and feed non-stop after birth?
FYI.. Sun Yan Zi also stopped bf at 2 months.
Haiz.. we really exhaust our bodies of nutrients and rest for the sake of the future generation.
MUMMY'S ARE INDEED THE GREATEST! (MAMA ZHUI WEI DA!)
Me starting work next week.. Grr.. Boss say come back on special request.. Will work one month and then rest again for one month. *Will definitely miss my boy*
sob sob
Will probably be MIA from here as well. Hope to survive going back to work!
All the best mummies!! And for all those who managed to bf, you are doing a magnificent job! JIA YOU ALL THE WAY!
If I could bf.. think i would even consider taking no pay leave... =)
my husband told me it's ok and said that i dont have to stress myself over it. We can just feed her with formula... so for now, i just pump out whatever i can to feed her while supplementing with formula.I latch my baby on for 2 hours.. subsequently even express another hour.. and still no improvement after 2 weeks. it was very discouraging... tears flowed like a river... and hubby was like please dont starve our son on top of that baby had jauice and even the doc at polyclinic say supp with formula
so supp formula milk.
Really nth to do with drinking more milk during pregnancy?
or maybe my body was too exhausted to even produce milk.... sigh.
My baby was same as she don't like to sleep during the day too...Veryberry, i guess baby can understand what we say to him after all. so good tat u can sleep thru the night!
My baby does not like to sleep during the day. he is so active n sometimes he is sleepy (yawns alot) but he can only sleep max 15 mins then he will wake up again. At night he sleeps ok but will still wake up 3 hourly for milk. So worry he might not grow well if continue like this. Sigh...
I am going bk to work mid june. I think im going to miss my baby terribly when it happens. But sometimes i also feel like working can make me feel better in a way that i can interact wit other ppl a lot.
Happytots,so u think pd at polyclinic better? Cos i have been thinking to bring my baby to a private pd as i feel they r more professional but am taken aback by their charges... Wondering Can separate injections n check ups or not?
So envious... Ur baby can sleep so long... I wonder when mine will do the same...
And mommies pls dont b too hard on urself when it comes to breastfeeding. Many factors play a part in successful breastfeeding and its not easy. So instead jus enjoy ur motherhood!
ya, you are right. Some women don't produce as much milk. I remember TCM has a remedy to improve milk supply. I also came across companies sell tea to stimulate more milk. Yes, it has nothing to do with drinking milk during pregnancy. I didn't drink milk for my 2nd one and he turn out to be 1.1kg bigger than the first one at birth.I latch my baby on for 2 hours.. subsequently even express another hour.. and still no improvement after 2 weeks. it was very discouraging... tears flowed like a river... and hubby was like please dont starve our son on top of that baby had jauice and even the doc at polyclinic say supp with formula
