I try to do that in the morning / noon, but not every feed, maybe only once or twice cos baby very lazy to suck. Night I don't.
Everyday i ebm every 3 hours, the last ebm is at 1am and then I don't wake up at 4am, I stopped the 4am ebm and then wake up at 7am and the routine continues...
But it's very tiring it's 7 times a day of ebm, cos I am first time mum also quite clueless so just trying my best.

Jiayou mummy!

I have the same problem as u. Hv to pump out the other full breast if nt hard like stone and painful

That's good. Sometimes my boy suck both sides dry alr he still hungry.... Then I have to top up a formula. Normally I will let him suck 20min each side if still hungry then 10min on each side again but sometimes no milk liao then he will grumpy.

Can mummies share some tried n tested ways to increase milk supply?

use desitin to get rid of the rash.

u can get it online or at pharmacies iirc. after getting rid of the rash you can stop the desitin and then see if u can find another barrier cream other than the mustela one that works for u..i bought aquaphor.. some people like EMAB bottom balm? I think u gotta try it out

I just went to buy 3 towels from the supermarket below my office and put it at my desk.

My hb suggested to "borrow" one of the hemp cloth diapers I got for my LO and use it as an "insert".

I'm drinking sacred nursing tea..

 

[szechtay]

Hi, I'm an April mummy pregnant with my third child. Been following the jan thread. Thanks for sharing. To increase bm supply, pocari mixed with hot water (during confinement) worked wonders for me. U might like to try. Green papaya (the ones with white sap when u cut it, bought from vege stalls and not fruit stalls) cooked with fish bones, whether salmon or sang yu gave me an oversupply too.

 

[Blumiz]

Your ebm is freshly pumped out? If yes put in fridge then warm up later... Try not to put at room temp for more than 4 hrs in our humid spore
