Chendolgirl, I'm using avent and medela bottle, alternating them. This far I don't see any confusion. She's still latching on and taking ebm from bottle.

Need help and advice. My massage lady massage my breasts and she said there is already milk but when I pump nothing came out and she said is due to nipples are short n small. What do I have to do to start give breastmilk where baby doesn't wanna latch on?

What pump r u using dear? For me, I need to massage the breast area outside the suction cup to achieve better results. And then tilt body forwards to make sure milk enters bottle.

Meilynn / chendolgal - I gave EBM to my girl at 4 weeks. Each feed takes about 15 mins and she can sleep at about 3 hours sometimes 4. That way u can get some rest without having to wake up so many times to latch and during latch baby normally wld fall asleep resulting in less milk to drink and causes more feeds in between. I'm using Medela Calma bottle (simulates breastfeeding) and my baby has no issues. I also bought tommy tippee slow flow for breast feeding 0 month for her to try and she is ok to. So I alt between latch and EBM. EBMs are usually for night feeds so we can get a bit more rest.

And yes my baby makes noises like grunting noises when she sleeps. My CL say she is stretching herself so it's normal but wld still need to check from time to time.

Hi,
Just checking, do you all feed your babies ebm yourself or you get someone else to do the feeding... Cos I read from some place that should get someone else to feed ebm....

I am considering to feed my girl ebm as my hubby is sick and he is afraid that he will pass the virus to baby... Any issue if the mother is the one to feed ebm?

Hey milkshake, if we feed ebm at night, can we skip not to pump? Since we are feeding ebm so if need to pump means that we have to wake up more times.

U can try to turn the milk bottle when they fall asleep and they will be awake to continue to drink. That is what my mum teach me and it works for my boy.
