Hang on ... It's not easy .. I gave birth on 24th and I'm having engorement from 27th nov till 30th nov.. Can't seemed to clear the lump... Did not rest at all ... Keep trying to clear but failed. Then I use hand express to clear , it helps , the next morning I'm cleared... No as much lumps as previous day. Also manage to ask ml to massage the breast for me .. Now I'm slowly trying to get the yield for the baby ..5th day post delivery and having engorgement. Hand express is so painful is it normal? So tired that I feel like giving up breastfeeding.
no choice... will clear real fast.. i did it .. so can you... for our bb's sake...Yes I have a pump. But there r still blocked ducts and engorgement. It's really so tiring and basically like u all said. No rest at all.

Currently 2 weeks plus confinement. Now I only able to pump 90 to 120 ml every 5 - 6hrs. At the first 1 week I can pump 180ml per session at 3 hrly. Supply dropped tremendously and can't met my baby demand. Don't really feel engorge compare the first week of delivery. Have been feeding formula as well too. Thinking to stop after pumping right after confinement as I will need to take care of my #1 (2yrs old). Quite tedious if I will need to pump feed and also tc of #1.
Any idea or anyone try stopping milk supply without medication? I bought the "no more milk tea" from iherb and have not tried yet. Wanna start drinking and stop pumping right after confinement. Any tried before?
Good to hear that. I will pump it out if not the BM will flow out on its own.. Quite wasted..Hi Miko, fluffy and Jcyc,
Thanks for all the concern n encouragement. Yes it's day 7 after my c section today. Supply is slowly coming in. Hand express both sides about 15 ml. Though it's still not a lot but I can see it is slowly increasing day by day. I latch bb on demand. Just to check if I latch bb on one side, do I have to pump out the other or shd I leave it for the next feed? Currently bb is taking formula at night.
Congrats!!Hello all, my wife give birth on 1st dec

Better to let bb latch both sides of the breasts. After latching , do pumping , pump for abt 20 mins , while pumping , press the breast where you feel got lump .. After pumping you should feel the breasts light and bouncy if you still feel lump or hardness , continue to pumpHi Miko, fluffy and Jcyc,

Mine too...if baby's mouth keeps 'rooting' after a feed in search of more milk - and if this happens over a few feeds - then can increase by 10ml at a time.How much ml your LO drink? Mine LO 3 weeks old. Drinking @ 90 ml. Should I increase?
I just started today. It's my day 12 after c sect.Is it safe to massage 3 weeks after csect or should we wait till after 4weeks?
So fast? Did the lady massage your tummy?I just started today. It's my day 12 after c sect.
Ya. My milk supply also not able to increase cause taking care of baby.. So sad. We wanted to give the best to our baby but not able to...Dear all mummies,
Actually there is no need any medi to stop breast milk.
Just like me, day and night time need to take care baby, sometimes need to do laundry.

How I wish someone can help me to take care bb so I have time to maintain my milk supply.
Very sad... But Bo pian.. Many things beyond my control.
Hi, most are free if u go polyclinic. If u go paediatrician, the rates can be steep. I think Kid's Clinic at SK charges $400+ for 6-in-1. RH is $600+For the baby 1mth vaccines, is it the same for polyclinic and paediatric? Both have the 6in1 vaccines? any idea how much does it cost to go paediatric? Thanks.

Have you tried hand express? Rub the areas with the milk duct then squeeze towards your nipple to let the BM flow out.. Dun use cold cabbage as it will decrease your milk supply.Now I found my right side got several milk duct, how to clear tthem?
Massage, hot compress, cold compress, cold cabbage, any others method?
My right side milk drop drastically... left 5 ml each pump... keep ask bb to latch but already 2-3 days.. liao

If you still feel milk ducts, use your baby bottle, warm the bottle and roll on your (.)(.) to soften the milk ducts. I'm also pumping max 60ml from both sides. My LO also supplement with fm now.. Maybe after 1 and a half month our BM supply will be better. This is what my cousin told me. She is bfing her children and my other cousins' LO.Use hand express but still got the lumps.
Now each time pump both sides only 60 ml.
My baby drinks 120ml each time so I need to top up with formula.

Sigh.... We had a "bad" deal with our cl..... My wife and I kind of interviewed her before paying deposit.... Looked ok initially but when we came home with baby (she arrived 1 day earlier before baby went home but got delayed 2 days due to phototherapy)... the first thing she told us was that she cannot do the full 28 days as she has another assignment in tampines..... What can we do.... Sigh.... Then she dropped another bomb..... she's a vegan...... waaaa leow...... Really felt kind of cheated.... My poor wife.... Didn't really had a good confinement.... And it really pained me so much.... But we learnt......May I check how much ang pow did you ladies give your SL when she arrived and when she left?
dear c sect mummies,
Do u still will feel a bit discomfort when u crossed your legs and squat down ?
Is it ok to squat down frequently? Coz I need to do laundry for my bb and daughter.
It's already one month but I still will have a bit discomfort, is it because i m too sensitive or really need to take another few month?
Wish to leh.. but scared bb bones not firm enough yet... so dont dare put in yaolan yet... scared deformed.. lol... intend to let bb use it after 6months...Hi, u all got intro yaolan to your baby? Was kinda hesitant.
Just ordered my set today from kiddy palace..... It's the motorized one cos baby too light and fragile for the manual yao lan. At least with the motor, I can control the strength. Reason is my son just wants to be cuddle to sleep, the minute put him in his cot, he will cry. Really taking its toll on both my wife and myself. So hopefully it will help in his daytime naps. IMHO.Hi, u all got intro yaolan to your baby? Was kinda hesitant.
Am having the same problem, put him in cot and rocker, he will cry and is not easy to pacify him. Maybe I will get one as well.Just ordered my set today from kiddy palace.....
