Is it cos he falls asleep while feeding? Try rotating the teat when it's in his mouth or stop to burp him when he falls asleep. If not, change diaper to wake him up.
Try putting her with her tummy against your shoulder and pat her back. That helps to get rid of wind. And you can try using Ru Yi oil. Put some on your hands and rub your hands together before you place your hand over her tummy.
I think 80ml seems to be a reasonable amount to be feeding now. Baby girl is 17 days old and feeds every 2 hours but 80ml of breast milk doesn't seem to last for long. We have to increase to 90ml of formula now..
My last day of massage today. Sort of mixed feelings- want to be slim sooner but...
Hey ladies
I would like to start a WhatsApp chat group for Feb 14 mummies. Please send me a private message with your number if you are keen.
Thanks and look forward to chatting with everyone!
That sounds like my routine too. I carry baby during the day too but the wrap makes it hard to carry, feed and anything! As if being a mother is not hard enough :P
The past few days have been super hot too.. Shower time has never been more enjoyable..
My milk supply is lagging and I think...
How is everyone doing in their confinement?
It is tiring to play catch up with my baby's feeding as I express my milk for her to drink :( I think I spend so much time pumping it is more than the time I spend carrying baby.
Using the nipple shield to latch her on hurts and I can only get her...
If your boobs are engorged then massage the hard lumpy bits. The LC massaged and showed us how. Also use a warm towel over them before expressing?
200ml is really good. You should keep it up. I'm only getting 60ml each time so I find myself trying to catch up with the baby feeding all the time :P
Don't be discouraged. Just keep trying to latch on.. There must be babies who take longer than others. I'm also trying to get my baby to latch on with help of nipple shield.. Jia you!
Same. I pump every 2 hours and get around 60mls. If the interval is longer then maybe 90ml. I read somewhere the milk supply will be more during the night.. So depends on whether you can wake up to pump.
I delivered on 7 Feb at TMC and managed to catch the class on 8 Feb.
The LCs there are helpful and they do teach you how to massage your breast to clear and blocked ducts. They will show you all the "tricks" to get the baby to latch and I think I've learnt that it's common that most mothers...
Wow 200ml is impressive. The sessions at Thomson are $86 each time, one to one. They are open Mon to Fri and Sat half day. Why wait till weekend? Cos your hubby is working?
Milk supply was not a lot in first few days but I've been taking Motilium and fenugreek capsules. Now I pump about 2-3 ounces each time and I pump 5-6 times a day. We saw LC at Thomson Parentcraft twice and they advised 10 times a day and get enough rest but its hard. They also advised not to...
