Just curious, are you on bf or fm?

I pump out breast milk , only midnight then i use FM...

Isy,my milk dun look very whitish.. but can see it's milk color..
i also dunno how to explain.. hope hind milk is inside the breast milk as it's the "good" fat for baby

 

[whomovedmycheese]

Do your babies move about alot? Like keep moving their hands and legs even when they are asleep?

How often do you pump your milk? If you empty your breasts each time you pump, then your milk should contain hind milk too coz fore milk is only the front few ml.

Foremilk is white too but inside bottle it looks as if diluted. Perhaps u could pump 1min in 1 bottle and the rest in another bottle. Should be able to tell the difference in colour

I didn't really swaddle my girl due to hot weather. At most use niao bu to swaddle her. If fallen asleep never keep moving la only at times she will get frightened have to watch her .

Mummies, how often do u latch your baby in a day? And how often do u feed ebm?

 

[whomovedmycheese]

Hmmm.. I latch her on about 8 times a day.. bottle feed.. not so sure but on average 2-3 hours once from 10pm -7am.

 

[whomovedmycheese]

My baby too, started last night. I think may be air con

Does your baby pant in between series of sucking during latch on?

Kiki - is 220ml per session consistent so far for each pump session? Is this balAnce after feed or accumulated from a number of hours?
Whomovedmycheese - since u latch most of the time I guess u r pumping out only the excess after feed right? Ur pump per session yields consistent volume?
May I know what should be the average oz per hour of milk supply we should be having to be considered sufficient ?
I'm worried that now sufficient for feed but when baby demand will outgrown supply.
I heard that we need to establish supply in the 1st three months. Does that mean if we have only 10 oz per day pumped out at the end of third month then that will be it throughout?

Actually so far I only latch on 1 breast. So the other breast I have to let it leak or use hand to express. So far able to hit about 75ml on average, sometimes 100ml, but mostly 75ml. At night when I use pump, will hit about 75ml per breast, so total about 150ml. Quite consistent, that's why I say my milk supply never increase.

 

[whomovedmycheese]

Yes yes.. Yours too?

Yup. I asked my friend. She said it's normal. Coz baby still doesn't know how to coordinate sucking and swollowing well yet.

No 220 was my best, and was pumped before feeding. Consistent about 100 only

Read somewhere that ave should pump half to 2 oz

I'm pumping average 1oz per hr, without latching. Do u think it is too little?

 

[lsy]

I tot per hr 1 oz is not bad. For me I only pump like once every 4-5 hours, that's why got 100. Ok think I must pump more.

Btw do you do postnatal massage? After massage got oil so you all wait and pump later?

But u do latching in between the 4-5 hrs as well right?
My masseur never massage my breast. Only once when she show me how to clear blocked duct. So I can still breast feed or pump .
