You can try this 中药 called 六通.. i add into my red date drink. It works for me lah. You can go 药材店 ask how to prepare..

I worry skali midnight drink too many fm cannot poo well...now morning n nighttime poo but ytd morning got poo nighttime no till this morning abit only...aiyo why like that
I got drink water and red dates drink too.. confinement food wise, best is do 40days.
I using slow cooker to boil tgt with the red dates mix.. water arnd 2litres add 5-6粒六通. Best if u ask the 中药店 regarding the amt to use cuz the 六通 might be different packaging.. red date sweetness is ok for diabetes.. if u think too sweet than add lesser red dates.. and monitor your blood sugar.

*ya fbm. I nvr latch baby. All the way bottle feed..
** i drink 1 litre of red dates and other times all water.

煲汤的药膳：煲各种汤时，应该适当放些补气血的药膳，我只服用当归、黄芪、党参、通草（下奶的）。要哺乳的妈妈还是不要乱吃的好。

If your bb now having growth spurt also bobian have to let then eat what they deem is enough for them.. i got try to cut down the amt bb eat, from 100 to 60. But end up he cant even last 1.5hrs. 100ml can last 2.5-3hrs.. and the total amt he drinks per day is even more than me feeding 100ml per feed. maybe you can feed half way burp bb then see if she wanna continue? And now i also use pacifier.. at least when he wanna suckle for comfort he dont drink milk.. and using pacifer is not a bad thing (if you do not latch baby at all).. cause rather than they suckle their fingers/hand, which is super difficult to kick that habit, pacifer is easier.

I tried alot boosters also doesnt work. The green papaya fish soup during confinement didnt work for me.
I bought fenugreek, it did increase but there's maple syrup smell everytime i expressbm.
Recently, my friend bought me lactation cookies, it did increase too but suddenly yesterday and today my supply dropped. I think bcos not enough fluids and i didnt really eat. Lost weight out of a sudden, dont have time to even eat when there are so many things to do....

Lactation cookies work? But not cheap right one piece of cookie cost around $3

Hi,
Where did you get the lactation cookies from? I am trying to look for it to boost up my supply too.
Thanks.
Vomit maybe cuz ur mom thin it? Actually i believe nowadays fm has improved and powder:water mixture is providing enough hydration, therefore wouldnt be "heaty" like what our parents say..by thining the fm, it's the same as u feed baby water.. And by thining fm, meaning ur baby is drinkin more water and less milk.. less nutrient for bb and bb may feel hungry faster? day time ok maybr cuz bb is active? at night maybe too much water cuz indigestion? Im not so sure is these are happening to ur bb.. but instead of thinking whether it is suitable, maybe try to feed the correct mixture and see whether bb still vomit or not first ba..
**im not sure whats the difference bet nan ha nd nan pro.. but shld be the one with the hypoallergenic that has the protein that is easier to digest.
Im currently using similac.. and i heard from my mummy friends, sayin that similac is very sweet and sweet cuz constipation.. so during my visit to the gynae.. i asked dr and he also said the same thing about similac and specifically ask me to get friso or nan ha cuz of the hypoallergenic thing.

Wah price increased. Last year before I pop it was $3 per piece
Dont feed too much.. if bb tummy is feeling better liao .. dont feed le..
http://www.whattoexpect.com/first-year/ask-heidi/is-gripe-water-safe-for-my-baby.aspx
Avoid brands that contain sodium bicarbonate. This can upset the pH levels in your tiny one’s tummy. Also look out for vegetable carbon (charcoal), as it may cause constipation or blackened stool. Gripe waters that are made from herbal oils are the safest and most natural options.
** i bought the Woodward's one.. and it contain sodium bicarbonate. I feed bb two days straight once per day and he got very cranky on the third day..(i stopped feeding him gripe water) the whole day he kept pooping and alot of poop.. i got to feed him 11 small meals the most ever since he's born.. i almost died of exhaustion >_< That was ytd.. today he is feeling better alrdy.. falls asleep right after all the feedings, burp very little, poop is back to 2-3times a day and normal amt, and no tummy rumbling sound.

Ya the cookies worked for me. But I think depends on individual.. A lot people swear by green papaya fish soup, but no effect for me. So got to keep trying...

this morning at 6am i managed to pump out 150ml, feeling mighty pleased with myself, n decided to offer it all to my boy cos at 3am he drank 140ml. n past couple of days when i only pumped 80-90ml, he will usually finish the supplement FM of 45-60ml. then guess what, he stopped drinking at 100ml, n no matter what i do - change diapers, walk around the house, he will give me that ke lian gagging face when i try to coax him for the next hr. So in the end i had to throw the balance 50ml away. wah, pouring that much BM down the sink is like somebody slicing a piece of flesh from me, sooo heart pain! kicking myself for being stupid, i learnt my lesson, next time i will give only 120ml, which was my previous avg n what he drinks, chill the balance, n if he fuss before the next feed, then give him the 30ml.
i tried so many "boosters" that i don't even know what works n what doesn't. my supply did increase from the 30-40ml in the initial wks to avg 120ml now, but its been stagnant for the past 2 wks. Some of the so-called boosters i have tried r fish soup, lactation cookies, red bean soup, coconut oil, flaxseed, rolled oats, milo.

yes my gynae told me if never FULLY dl, meaning u pump, or supplement with FM, AF will return much earlier, as early as 4 wks after your deliver. i think mine came back 6 wks after i delivered. i say "i think" cos up till now, i'm not entirely sure its my AF, cos its somewhat different from my previous AF. firstly, my lochia didn't fully clear before i had fresh red bleeding, the lochia was slowly clearing to a watery light brown discharge, then suddenly, on V-day, i had fresh red bleeding. This bleeding didn't smell, unlike lochia which has a stale smell, so i didn't think it was lochia. Anyway, the bleeding suddenly got even heavier 4 days later, n i had AF cramps 6 days later. i bled fresh red blood for 12 days, n up till now, i still have bloody discharge. its been 2 whole weeks! i'm so confused. but i figured since we just gave birth, it is normal for our AF to be abnormal when it first return.
