garfield: I took fenugreek for abt several months when I returned to work after I delivered my #1. It really helped me to maintain my supply.
Btw, what makes you think u dun have enuf milk for bb? Or are you hoping to pump out like 100ml each breast each time?
That would be excess milk liow. I think many of us only have enuf for our own bbs meaning if 60ml is enuf for bb that's how much we will produce. As bb grows and demands more and you keep letting bb suckle your ss will also increase one.

When i used toilet paper, the sticky discharge will like stretch...something like egg white.....dunno if normal a not. Somemore, this discharge & the light brown discharge kinda smell.

garfield: am sure we need to sterilise the milk bottles and stuffs.. even after full month. i think it boils down to hygiene. i think not so many times as in like.. after ur baby completes the vaccination.. in half a year's time.. maybe u can sterilise bottles in like once a day kind lor.
Nut: Have you tried seeing a lactation consultant? Mayb you can do what ssl did - fight w bb till you win! Hee...
garfield: need to sterilise all equipment bb uses until bb hits abt 6-9 months minimum. As for bm, better to sterilise as long as you still pumping and storing, doesn't matter bb's age.
I took abt 3 pills of fenugreek each day. Didn't dare take too many leh..
And yes, you should latch both breasts instead of jus one side for each feeding.

!!! My mil din sterilise my bb milk bottles at all! She only used hot water from the thermal flask to wash abit before use for my bb. So i insist tat the bottles & the pump be sterilise (cook in boiling water) at least once a day.
My mil said dun need to sterilise...so stress!!! And hor, my hubby said it is ok not to sterilise!!! Stressed.
Somemore, imagine my mil make formula milk in the toilet. She placed the milk bottles, formula powder, hot water & water all in the toilet!!!!

pammie: i closed 1 eye lor....my mil said she also make formula milk for her grandson (my nephew) also no problem so i just keep 1 eye closed lah....
anyway, now my mil will boil my bb's milk bottles & my pump once a day....better than nothing right?
anyway, ask u all hor, if u boil ur bottles & pump, need to take out the bottles after sterilising to air dry or let the bottles remain in the pot of hot water and take out for use only when needed? Mil said if leave in water for long, milk bottle will like sticky. So i ask her to pour the water away but leave the bottles inside the pot with cover.

garfiled,
Huh? Milk bottle becomes sticky?
No ley, my mum always leave the milk bottles, teats, and everything in the pot after boiling.
The only problem is the teats. If you're using NUK's teats, then you got to change the teats after 1 mth, bcos it will become more sticky and sticky.

any mothers have experience bb throwing up alot of milk? Yesterday I took my bb out and realised her appetite had suddenly gone up.. usual 60ml wasn't enuf so i fed her 90ml. During the feed, she was v agitated and wanted to drink very quickly. Aft half an hour, she vomited a whole lot out.. like 40ml or so.. some came out of her nostrils.. otherwise there's nothing unusual abt her, no fever no diarrhoea..is there anythin to worry abt?
pammie,
Ya, I had the same exprience.
Last nite, my boi oso vomitted out the milk, some oso from his nostrils.
My mum did burp him enuf, cos I heard he burped quite loud, then when muy mum put him back to his cot, he just suddenly vomitted the milk out.
But not that much as your bb vomitted, mine abt 10ml.
My mum said it's normal, cos the baby had too full liao, and not all milk flew into his stomach.
Then I monitor the subsequent feeds, he is ok liao.
Anyway, I will check wif his PD when next visit to find out the cause.

LinT,
Dun give up on bf...
I'm on partial BF-ing... 3-4 times per day I will give my boi BM. Nite time totally on FM, cos I dun want to trouble my mum to get up & heat up the BM.
Do it slowly. Like what other mummies suggested, try latch your bb when bb not so hungry.
Before latching, let your bb tastes abit of your BM, then put your bb on your breast, he will start suckle.
At least latching your bb once per day. That's what I'm doing now. The rest of time I usually express out my BM & feed him in bottle.
Better than nothing, right?
If you have BM ss problem, try to drink more papaya soup, or milo.
If now you doesn't have much BM, it's ok, just let your bb latch on, let bb suckles, it will help to simulate more BM.
My boi suckled alot when in hospital, but that time I still haven't got any BM, but the nurses told me it's ok, just let bb suckles.
But I was so pity my boi, so I gave him FM, when came back to home, he doesn't want to suckle anymore cos he used to suckle the teats liao!
Then I got to go through a hard time to "fight" wif him when latching. And now finally he is "willing" to suckle again.
So you can do it too! Jia you!
