Mummies who are experienced in breastfeeding, kindly share your tips and advises. Thanks
During the first mth we shld supplement with formula?n its ok?i breast feed my baby for 14 months and I'm a working mother.
You will not have enough supply in the first 2~3months, but it's ok and do not stress yourself. when baby cries, breast feed her first. if you doubt whether baby is full or not, can feed the baby milk powder AFTER breast feed.
the most important thing is to breast feed her first then some bottle feeding.
then ur baby not full hw...i did supplement with formula only after breastfeeding. but actually my baby did not take much of the formula so i just poured in toilet. Cannot stand the smell...
Hi moms,
I am a first time mom. i had been exclusively breastfeeding my baby since she was born. I was thinking how to give breast milk to my baby in public places. I'm super uncomfortable of giving breast milk to my baby even I have the nursing cover.
Do I actually bring manual pump out then put in a bottle for my baby or...?
May I get some tips from moms who are experienced?
Do u supplement w formula the first few wks?Bf is a demand and supply thing, by nature every mum will have sufficient milk for bb, initially u will have v little milk, keep latching on, by week 6 the supply will be stabalized.
No, exclusive bf, the first milk or colostrum is highly nutritious and is enough for bb's bean size stomach, no need to supplement w formula, my mil wanted to supplement formula but my hubby and I insisted to let the bb latch on as often as possible, by 4th day I have more milk. Drink more green papaya fish soupDo u supplement w formula the first few wks?
Hi .. i wanna learn more abt breastfeed bb. Since i have 4 kids already ,my bf not at all successfull due to all delivery thru cesarian .
Thanks for yr advise.. i have gone thru 3 c-sect and my past exp after baby was delivered . Show to mummy ,no skin to skin contact . after opt complete i was pushed to recovery room not sure how long been there . So i guess abt 45 min . More than 1 hr gone ,then able to c bb in ward . The time pass .. maybe bb already hungry perhaps . Anyway looking forward for my 4 th c-sect soon. Hope the immediate bf can take action fast .Hi there... It's still possible to breastfeed even after a c-section. It's important to request for skin-to-skin contact as soon as possible after surgery and this will encourage baby to latch on within the first magical hour after birth. After which, request for baby to room in with mum so that mum can breastfeed baby on demand to establish a good supply. Seek the help of a lactation consultant while in hospital to check on latch.

Hi any mummy having difficulty to breastfeed due to low production ? Is it due to generic or the food intake we have after give birth ?
