Restricted diet during BF

[Joellejell]

Hey Maire,

How's everything?
I believe you are back at work.

Usually my bb also sleep in his room.
However, he will wail loudly when he wants something -_-"
then we have those kind of camera installed, so the receiver in the living room will have very loud echo whenever he wail & whine. So it's like having a surround system!

but we still let bb co sleep with us about 4-6hrs when we are not working.

These days have to work more cos shortage of manpower... Sigh!

i hope all goes well for u so can continue BF

With in laws sure will have some conflicts, at least can trust them to help u look after bb.

even though my maid is experience with bb, I still can entrust 100% to her handling bb.
like constant carrying & stroking, I don't want that so have to keep reminding... Repeat until sianz!

btw, if drink tea will affect much on BM?

I secretly drinks a little... Cos mom won't allow... Say too cooling for bb..

Hi Joellejell

Hahaha my bb whines whenever she sees my mum but we insist our bb sleeps alone in her room most of e time, haha abit mean but it works wonders! Bb is more independent n she can sleep thru e nite. We jus pop in her room fm time to time to check on her,learnt tis fm my expat colleagues but haha some grandparents wld not like e idea...

Abt the lumps,Sometimes sleeping position plays a part...I use an xtra pillow to relief some pressure as I often sleep on my side. I jus got my infection cleared but will see wat breast surgeon says next mth...maybe wean earlier if no improvement....no choice

Im lucky to hav full 16 weeks leave plus a few more days of carried fwd leave, jus a little sad tat bb is now fostered out on weekdays during my work hours. But thankfully I'm still pushing on wif expressing my milk n nanny is supportive of bf, jus stressful as hubby's workplace has shifted some 1.5hrs away, we don't intend to hire a maid so things can get abit tiring but we stay wif my parents so we hav a lot of support..,.jus usual in law issues hahaha

Hello Joellejell

Yes I've been back to work for a week, great feeling somehow, really enjoy my work n colleagues though e stress is kicking in. Baby is doin well too, jus fussy wif milk still...

I'm still expressing milk really tiring but I managed once in e office n then run home after picking baby n do e next round...volunteered to work more weekends so I can stay home n express comfortably, my Job is gd in e way that I can hav a few days off here n there when we work weekends...

But I'm still watchful of my diet, just quite a 'torture' to me coz I'm such a foodie, *slurp slurp* hahaha

I hope ur lumps will subside, the LCs told me that one way is to massage n them 'shake' (vibrate) the breasts n it will ease e lumps, do try it! Helps, just that I hav this tissue mass so tis won't work...

hi all

wow seems lik a lot of food to avoid while breastfeeding? can provide a list of restricted food? can still drink bubble tea n eat fast food when breastfeeding? btw how does rashes look lik on babies skin if it's caused by breastmilk? is it necessary to pump n latch when baby is 1-2mth old?

Hi Chocolate!

I jus avoid seafood for now, drink coffee sometimes, max once a day, can't help it as I work late nights very often, I drink more tea now...

I try to avoid junk food n hav more whole meal breads, milk and fish, beef once a week, soups are very gd

I'm particular abt diet during bf coz baby has eczema, it's gd for health too but I still eat a lot, hahaha
