hey justamom, i also had hard lump since mon.. went to see lactation consultant 2 days after trying at home to massage it down.. The LC massaged VERY HARD.. and pressed down on the lump to push milk out.. hand expressed for me too.. she said sometimes the blockage of the ducts starts from nipple, so she pressed and felt some lumps near the areola and squeezed ! Pain like mad! Then milk flow was much better.. she then massaged the lumps further away with her fingers, pressing super super hard.. i can't do that strength to myself when i came home... i can't let bb latch coz nipple is sore n bleeding as she bit on it.. i just kept massaging n pushing towards the nipple.. got reddness due to my pressing.. also i used cabbage leave twice.. dun dare to use too much and heard may affect supply.. i find that massaging while showering with hot water helps to relax and soften abit.. now it has relieved abit.. must keep nursing n pumping to keep it flowing..
sigh just now 10.30pm tried bottlefeeding bb , normally she needs latching to slp.. surprisingly she drank down 100ml.. but she complained n 'cough' after awhile.. rocked no use and she started crying.. i latched her and tried to unlatch her when she doze off.. end up took 1hr.. she was slpy, and i put her in her cot to slp.. 5 mins later she cough cough n cry again.. hubby carry but she squirmed n cry.. so i carry but she wante to latch again.. till now.. 1am liao she still doesn't wanna slp!!! gosh.. i'm super tired... not sure whats wrong with her..
sigh i'm getting worried for her inguinal hernia .. it has reccured yesterday and today.. i pushed the lump back.. her ovary n intestine seems to be easily protruded when strained by crying.. she cries v all her strength and scream kind.. i really hope there's no obstruction from now till her surgery on wed morn.. i'm still v worried for her.. and how her feeding will be like.. she might not slp well in the hosp cot.. and she may wanna latch 100% for comfort.. after that maybe cannot let her strain..now oso tryingto prevent her frm crying too hard.. spoiling her by carrying her alot... after surgery oso shld be the same.. sighh not sure how to manage .. afraid she reject bottle again, mess up feeding again, my nipples are v sore frm her tugging n has been bleeding.. so i try to only latch at nite...

Hi, my baby feels like the same too. She do not seem to be gaining weight and she is drinking so much lesser than she should be, base on the guide book. When she was only a few days old, she can drink 500+ml. Nowadays 400ml due to longer hours of sleep and her per feed is only 100ml..reiann:743941 said:
her tummy is super flat, not much bb fat but she is growing longer
Mummies, I also noticed that my girl started drinking lesser.. And seem to lose abit of weight.. But later I realise it's because she suck so hard on the bottle she give up drinking... I was still using the one hole teat. I just change to 2 and 3 hole teat and she fed better and started drinking more...
Could it be the bottle teat? Mummies you can check...
Justamom, mayb after cny also will go back to work...
Meltie, it's must be heart pain for you to manage Charlotte. But I'm sure you will be able to mange and come to a solution for Charlotte.
Like all mothers do.. The sacrifices we make..

My girl has been on Similac.. And she still poops everyday massively.. But her poop smell can kill! I have to hold my breath when I change her diapers. Hahaha! :/
She's 7.6kg at 3months3weeks.. Like Ethan, doc also said maybe her tummy too chubby so it's difficult for her to turn.. -.- she seldom cries nowadays.. As long as I'm around. The minute I disappear from her sight only, all hell breaks loose. I even tried hiding under the bed or standing behind the cupboard door just for a few seconds. Sends her into war siren mode. OMG.

He meltie, I hope charlotte will recover soon. She will as she knows how much u have sacrificed for her. Don't worry abt spoiling her at this age. My boy always demanded to be carried n I went to read up. They r too young to know how to manipulate their parents with their crying. Only until ard 6mths when they learn cause n effect then ya we need to have some limits n not always give in. At this age they started to have a bit of seperation anxiety n realised that they r not part of us as in no longer in our tummy. So when they cry for sure they r in need of something. Cuddle n hug all u can to give her the comfort my boy had fever few days back cant coax n slp on his own. I carry n rock him to slp on the rocking chair whole nit.
Meltie - hope charlotte can be well till her surgery day.. soo nervous for u but stay strong.. Been praying for her to be healthy n fr de surgery to go well..As ahwang said its alright to carry her, i dont think that will spoil her. Because she needs the comfort more now.. Also this is the age babies like the comfort of cuddling and skin to skin. I dont believe in letting babies cry out loud, dont have the heart to let that happen, even though a lot of people say it will help expand their lung..
Is dis a phase that babies lose alot of weight cos im experiencing the same.. Shes growing longer tho. I pumped milk yesterday evening after a long time and even tho i pumped after four hours of feeding I got just 70 ml of milk been so depressed bcos of that. I was able to get 180 ml before and now its like less than half too. I noticed my baby has been wanting to feed every hour and a half to two hours over the past two three days and realised her sucking is like shes fighting with my breasts. How do I increase breastmilk naturally?? Im now actually longing to feel engorged again.
At the same time ive been feeling very stressed out cos im jus not happy living with my mil. Cant sleep properly at nights too cos theres jus too much always on my mind. And i cant even talk to my husband properly cos we dont have the privacy to do that. Trying not to think about things cos I know stress affects breastmilk but my mind is not helping. Jus hoping I can somehow manage the next two and a half months of breastfeeding. Yday after realising i did not have too much milk I fed my baby fm about 200ml and she slept till about 3:30am. So confused if I should continue feeding her fm or just let her latch on to help increase the supply.

What's the op for Charlotte, meltie? So sorry to hear. Don't please don't worry too much about he weight. It is really nothing. As long as she is growing
Kary-- when I pump nowadays the yield is surprisingly little. It's. Ren weeks since I pumped and last time my breasts wre always engorged. Now the yield especially second feeding at about 10 plus is very little, together both breasts only 1oz!!!! Wah. I need to pump more often Now to increase supply. It's working already. Just keep pumping.
