[rachelleling]

Hello again. Saw that you are discussing about breastfeeding. I'm also trying to bf my boy. Used to be able to tbf cos supply was very good but cos of blocked ducts, supply went half and now I have to supp with fmilk cos not enough for him. I will let him latch on then if he's still hungry, will give him 60ml of fmilk.

Before i had blocked ducts, sometimes i gave him 120ml of ebm every 3 hourly when hubby or in-laws help to feed. so i think upon seeing most mummies here also around the same amt, i feel quite safe. My lactation consultant actually said is to much for a 6 week old but then pd said as long as baby is growing well, no issue.

Been trying to increase back my ss but still in vain. i tried pumping to empty breast after every feed to stimulate "baby" not having enough and telling body to produce more. Also tried fenugreek but doesn';t seem to help this time (it helped when i first established ss during the first week tho) Sigh.... sometimes, really desperate cos with my current ss, baby can tahan only for about 1 and half to 2 hour, then want the fmilk. Sometimes i feel useless not being able to provide the basic need for the baby and i'm beginning to feel jealous of the fmilk. everytime he's being fed with fmilk, i will be extremely grouchy. haha. but i guess as long as baby;s healthy, shd be ok la

 

[shirlin_h]

[taurus033]

Sporty,
Sorry unable to join u gals next week as need to bring girl to and back from school and no helper. Actually i'm not able to join most of gatherings as is on weekdays.

My boy dunno why now have problem with his sucking. He now suckle with a squeaking sound and he seems to swallow a lot of gas this way. Because after he finished, i will propped him up in a sitting position to burp him. When i do that he seems to be choked and then he will spit out milk. When i see him like this, i'm really scared. I tried unlatching and re-latching back but he always suckle with the sound, really dunno what to do. Thinking to get a lactation consultant to verify the problem. Now a bit scare to feed him. And it seems to happen mostly at the right breast feed. Had no problem previously until now.

 

[sinkor]

hi all,

i appear again

n join u all in fb....

 

[ariesgal_76]

sporty! SOS!
i got my FS liao but one big big question. how come the suction is so super soft? practically i feel nothing lor..... cannot get my milk out leh.... i set to max liao also like that. wonder if the funnel is too small for me? cos i only see the tip of my nipple like kenna pulled niah leh..... how how how?

 

[jane10]

ariesgal> try out those stuff abt fs i mentioned to u on msn . sporty is out pak toring today so cant SOS u now

 

[ariesgal_76]

jane, solved it liao... thanks for your tips.... yeah, it was wrongly assemble on one side.... now working fine.... i pump using ameda first to relieve the engorgement cos just now i cannot wait... and now i using FS to clear out the remaining and wah.... a big difference in terms of the hands free..... so shiok! can type with 2 hands while pumping... hee...

 

[carinez1]

Taurus> my boy also produces the squeaking sound when feeding since 2 wks ago.. It means he is taking in air.. I tried changing the position of my breasts and it works at times.. But I noticed it's cos nowadays bb lazy to open mouth big big to suckle which caused the problem.. I can't solve it as bb has already developed the bad habit...

Anyway, bb was super super cranky yesterday.. He cried so much and screamed like he was in fits and scared the hell out of us..no matter how me and hb carried him he din want to go to slp.. I kept letting him latch cos I tot he was hungry... Ended up gave him fm and he could still finish 120 ml AFTER latching... Then realised he dono how to know when to stop when he is full.. Still cried despite giving him fm... He just wanted my breast as pacifier and din wan the pacifier... He very 'GAO zeh' think he just wanted a certain kind of position to be carried to slp which me and hb still haven mastered... haiz... Such a difficult bb...

Want to ask any of ur bbs can smile when entertained already? As in not smile when tickled or smile in his slp kind... Those social smile... My bb like dono how to smile only know how to cry...

 

[ariesgal_76]

carinez, i think only when bb about 4 or maybe 5 months old than can smile when entertained lor.... i think now they only smile in their sleep or sometimes just smile for nothing... hee.... i always try to capture those smiles when i see them....

 

[ariesgal_76]

rachelle, actually if you latch and can last your bb around 2 hrs, i think that's ok. cos when i latch, it can only last my bb 1 hr or 2hrs max too cos she is lazy at times and will break her feed. i tried to pump one and i know that the amt i produce is slightly more than her intake so when she wanna latch again after 1 hr or so, it's not cos i don't have enough but rather cos she bad habit. i don't have this problem when i give her ebm. but if you continue to latch and don't top up with fm, your ss will increase cos frequent latching will tell your body / brain that you need more milk. it's very troublesome lah but after a few days, ss should go up lor... but if frequent latching due to bad habit then need to find alternative....

 

[blessedcyn]

Ya my baby also cried badly last night. slept only at 4am.

 

[rhapsodyrach]

Hi taurus: when he unlatches, are your both breaststill drpping? Is they are, then it might be due to fast let down. I had the same prob. Bb will choke and cry and seem to be swallowing a lot of wind. But better verify with a lactation consultant

Hi,

so nice to see that u gals are meeting up regularly. I wish i can join but then I have no confidence to bring baby out alone. He is quite grouchy and I do not know how to use the sling.

Superwalker, sporty, just saw e pics posted. The group pic was nice got myself tagged.

 

[tanly]

Does any of your bb like mine? Always want to craddle to sleep? If yes, this trend will last until how long? will it get better in the 3rd month?

My gal day and night wanted to be craddle to sleep. Then when she is asleep, i put her down on cot but half an hour she will wake up again and need to craddle again. Is this a norm to most mummy? Or your bb can fall asleep on their own?

 

[jane10]

lovie i am not superwalker lah. i posted the pics with sporty. LOL.

 

[blessedcyn]

hi tanly, same here

 

[moomoo0977]

Hi

I have a medela freestyle pump for sale. Bought in nov 09. (US set without warrently).Use only for one mth. Selling at $400. Freeies: Avent breast pump conversation kit for medela freestyle. Please email me if interested.

 

[tanly]

blessedcyn, don't this will last how long hor? Very tiring everyday not enough sleep and no 'me' time. Just cuddle day and night until shoulder also ache.

Infact day time I'm still ok. Just get upset and frustrated at nite.

 

[jane10]

tanly> don be upset. join us for our next gathering?

 

[mitsy]

my boy also want to be cuddle so I usually cradle him for a while then while still carrying him, slowly move towards the bed and lie down with him while still cuddling him. When he falls asleep, i will remove my arm. if he starts crying again, i will slot my arm under his neck and start patting him to trick him into believing that i am still cradling him.

so far have been working for a few days, hope it will continue to work. the downside is that he no longer wants to sleep in his cot.

[tanly]

Would like to join the gathering but super scare to bring bb out. She get cranky when she want to sleep and drink. Furthermore no one looking after my gal for me at the moment.

 

[tanly]

mitsy, i did that too once in a while. Worried that it will become a habit and my bb sitter will hv a tough time.

Lovie, i dare not try tummy down. Worried later she will suffocate.

 

[momo_mummy]

Wah, i went ION last week... use their nursing room... super nice ley.... Is super private dun hv to share with anyone and has everything u need there....

 

[kimifin]

rachelle,

I thk my boy was "underfed"...he drks 1 breast most of the time, n hungry 1-2 hrs later.

tiring trying to latch, only give EBM once per nite (30ml) after BF...thk need to increase that.
