My #1 is a gal n definitely not drinking as much. Checked with Pd b4 n she say as long as he is not vomiting after the feed n taking it well, then it's ok but just scary that he need to up his intake again..so many times within the mth....now even need to upgrade his bottle le, cos the small...

I am also pumping exclusively. Will latch on when bb is crying very badly ( latching does sooth him down though I think it's a bad habit..so far it only happen twice ) or when I need some blocked ducts or hard lump to clear. This allows me to monitor how much he is drinking and also feeding...

Felicia, yes! I'm in that thread still... Both our children in the same month. But actually my gal born earlier, end Jul instead but as edd was in Aug, I still continue in Aug thread

My boy drinking 125ml now with 3 hours interval. But if he didn't slp after feed, it can only last him abt 2 or 2 1/2 hours.. Now it seem this amount not enough le, cos after drinking, he like not satisfied... He will reach full month this sun. Any other bb also drinking this much or is this...

I feel bm bb does put on weight. My boy face is pretty chubby n he did put on quite abit since birth. Last checkup, he's ard 4.5kg. His birth wt is 3.59 but was 3.2kg when left hospital. He's still a few days away from his full month.

Priscilla, Applying cold cabbage will reduce supply. Y not try cold n hot compress. Apply hot towel on the engorged area n massage it before u pump. Then wile pumping, massage that area in circular motion too. After pumping, apply ice pack over affected area to help reduce swelling. Try this...

Tummy will bounce back a few days after massage session ends. Must continue to wear girdle or corset to maintain the flatness. But Tats so uncomfy..anyone doing that?

My bb 15 days old is already taking 100ml since last week. Looks like we might b increasing it soon to 110, then 120... Maybe it's boy so drink more? He weighs 4kg as of thur...

Miss freedom, you can try to use nipple shield to help with your latching problem. Tats Wat the LC advised, till bb is a little bit more older u can try direct latch again. I need bb latch on to clear my blocked ducts so can pump out fully, if not they form hard lumps which are painful. So...

My bb also can't latch well so the consultant suggest using nipple shield to get bb to suck on the nipple to help with the engorgement. However this is only a temporary solution. She ask mr to try latching on again abt a week or two later cos bb tend to latch better when they are older. Now I...

Congrats phyllis...

I'm facing different set of problem. My milk supply came in on the 2nd day n bb cannot latch well. So now I'm super super engorged even after hot shower, very painful massages (almost cry when hubby massage for me ) n intensive tries of latching n pumping. Pumped out abt 110ml le but both...
