Garfield, didn't know that. No choice leh, too much poo poo make my bb's anus area very red, wet poo also make her uncomfortable. But CL said she'll mix the different FM slowly with my BM so hopefully ok lor. Today, when she poo the semi solid poo after taking the soy milk, she didn't cry at all when CL change her diapers. Normally, it'll be a screaming session all the way.
Leila, I think KK used Nan 1. When BB was discharged, we bought Nan HA. No problem, BB didn't detect the difference.

hi all,
im having problems with BF...it's really tough for me.
supply is very low and bb keeps crying. currently im supplementing with FM (actually more like FM supplement with BM
)
bb suckles on breast for 10mins and falls asleep..wake him up and he suckles for another 2 suckles and falls asleep. After a few times, he'll refuse to wake up. however, when i offer him the bottle (either EBM or FM) in 10mins' time, he'll gulp everything in 1 go.
is he showing a preference for the teat over my nipple?
been trying to BF until my nipples are so sore and bleeding. yet my bb seems like he's not appreciating my efforts. sob sob...
1)I called the parent craft department and the Breast Feeding Support Group for advise on treating bleeding nipples and had somewhat opposite answers.
Parent Craft advised using BM to smear on nipple and air dry before wearing my bra.
BFSG advised using nipple cream instead.
which is correct??
2) What is the function of hot towel compress? is it to relief engorgement or to improve BM supply?
very very stressed over the BF now...feel like giving up but can't bear to actually execute it cos all these while i have been psyching myself i'll have lotsa BM.
I don't even know what's the problem(s)..everything just don't seem to be working out. Im hurting (nipple pain and breast feels bruised), inconsistent advise from the professionals and there's not enough supply. I dunno who or where I can turn to for reliable help.
and there's MIL and CL issues to deal with, i haven't (not allowed to) to wash my hair (thou i had my 1st quick bath today after 4 days). just feel so shitty about everything. everybody just knows how to comment, comment, comment on things that are not right abt my feeding, the CL, blah blah blah. in short, negative comments.
sorry for this unhappy post...couldn't stop typing once i got started...

pigglettail,
Below is my personal experience to share wth u when bf my first kid.
BM supply does not come in immediately, u need to stimulate ur brain by latching on ur baby, tell ur brain that u need more milk, then supply will increase. U can express another breast to stimulate also if bb feel enuf wth feeding fr 1 breast. For the first few day, bb usually feel sleepy and does not eat much, as long as u latch on often, make sure bb got poo and urine, then u should be worry so much. U mst wake up thru out the nite to bf baby as well cos prolactin ( the hormone which hlp to inc supply) is in abundance during midnite.
Sore nipple or bleeding is common to bf mum, especially the first time mum. Jst imagine the skin/aroela is so soft and nvr has some one suck fr so long, isn't that is normal to get sore nipple when u bf for long. U jst nd to bear wth it fr a period of time, dun give up. Jst rmb there is a lot of more serious case out there, be patient my dear...
None of the BFSG and parent craft r wrong, because BM is claimed to be the best soothing formulae of nipple cream, can mosturize the skin arnd. Like purplecurlz, i also recommend avent bipple cream bcos it has aloe vera which hlp soothing the sore nipples.
Hot towel used to cover arnd the breast is to relief engorgement and stimulate the flow (nt to increase supply, to increase supply, u nd to latch/ express more often). Some pple used cabbage leave to cover the leave to relief engorgement as well, but bear in mind that dun use too often cos it will also reduce supply.
Try to massage ur breast and the part wth lump b4 expressing and latch on, this will hlp the milk flow.
I understand ur feeling cos during my confinement the other time, i also upset over pple command and thought i m having low milk supply. But aft sometime of my insisting on latching on bb and express diligently even though wth great pain of my sore nipple, i can see my milk supply increased fr 20ml (1 side) to 80ml then 120 ml.
Hope the same to u too!
U might want to email me [email protected] if u hav more question to ask.

Hi Qoo San,
thanks : )
I also have same problem with BM. My baby is already 3weeks+ now but I am still having very little milk to supply him. I tried to latch him as often as possible but he do not seem to have enough and I got to supplement him with FM. Rather upset and wanted to give up sometimes but I still try to continue to latch him to stimulate more milk.

Hi Piglettail
Dun be depress. It is ok for u to feel this way cos initally I do have the same prb abt not having enough BM. I also want to give up till my friend told me it is ok for supply to be low, you can express our BM and mix with FM and let bb drink. Also do continue to let bb latch on to you so that yr supply will come in slowly. BB is still young, they also trying to learn to latch cos is a totally new thing for them too so dun think that yr bb is not appreciating yr effort ok! Trust me once they are use to it they will want yr boops hehe.Dun be too depress cos it will also affect yr supply.
Also before BF, use yr fingers to press yr nipple 1st, up and down den left and right. Press yr areola, up and down den left and right. Lastly massage yr breast up and down, left and right. Do that each time b4 feeding yr bb.
For me even till now my supply is not much. So usually give FM abt 80% and 20% BM. If your nipple are too sore and bleeding do apply nipple cream, medela purelan works fine (When im at hospital I also latch bb till sore and bleed). If just sore use yr colostrum to apply on yr nipple and air dry.
Function of hot towel compress is to help relief engorgement also to help improve the circulation over at yr breast area.
U can ask yr hb to get for u Fenugreek at GNC to see if can improve on yr supply. I am currently trying out Traditional Medicinals Organic Mother's Milk tea, to see if improve my supply too . Another method is to drink more fluid like red date tea. Also you can ask yr CL or MIL to boil green papaya with chicken soup, pig tail, black bean soup and fish soup to boost yr supply.
For bathing, I do bathe (till now 4 times) and wash hair (3 times). It really feel shitty so what you can do is to change yr clothes once they are wet or u feel uncomfy.
So dun give up, it is a learning process for everyone of us. I also still struggling to get to learn my bb pattern.

mummies,
pls increase ur water intake, drink more soup, hot drink like milo and horlicks. U need more water to produce even more water (milk).
maruko,
Try to drink more hot drinks before u latch on / express. May I know how often u latch him? I rmb fr the first month i bf my bb for interval as short as 1 hr.

hi QooSan

for me, my right side like express more milk, i can see that there are abt 3-4 spruts of milk and can express abt 60 ml. but my left side, only one sprut of milk and not that much. is this common?
surprisingly my right side was the one that baby bite until become so sore..ehehe

You can also get help from a lactation consultant.
I just had one today at my place...a full one hour sessiono n BF and the dos and don'ts which i find it very useful.
As much as we are learning how to BF, baby is also learning how to latch on. I'm still struggling too...and my baby is 3 wks old.
Patient, patience, patience....

Faten, same problem for me. When I pump, left breast only has 2 spurts for 1-2 min then become drip drip drip. Right breast has 4-5 spurts so end up left side express about 30-40ml, while right side usually 50-60ml. If each side 60ml, combined will have 120ml then will have enough for BB.

for me now, if i can express abt 80 ml, im very happy aldy. I just want to have the reassurance that i have milk..hehe...im hoping that my milk will be more stable along the months.
i guess as long as bb not crying, means he has enuff right? i can see that he will suckle my right now more energetic. but he will slow down by 10 mins. im trying not to be freak and time each side...can make me stressed out...

Faten, I also started with about 20ml. Managed to get 40ml only after CL massage my breasts with super hot towel. Then after that, with lots of fish soup, ss increase to 80ml then after that, got stuck liao. I delivered on 22 Jan, you can do it one. You can try pumping every 3 hours and see how much you have. Last time, everytime I latch on, don't know how much BB is drinking.

Thanks Kel, hubby said the clinic also quite near to us. Will call them.
hi piglettail,
i think u just too stressed.. u just delivered on 19th rite? BM will only kick in 3rd day onwards. B4 that is colostrum.. and the flow is very little n pathetic.. when bb latch on in the beginning, my nipple was very painful.. same problem as u, no flow.. n wasn't sure if bb was latching on properly..
i advise u to only feed when he cries.. if he doesn't it's fine.. because bb naturally still have reserves in his stomach for few days.. tat's y he's shitting..
both methods are correct, wat i do is apply milk, air dry then apply nipple cream.. double protection!
first of all, pls take care of yr nipple n try to rest it as much as possible.. otherwise when BM flow comes in, u cannot feed bb due to bleeding nipples..
hot towel compress works both to relieve engorgement and also to improve flow. take note it only relieves, not remove the engorgement. in order to relieve the engorgement, BM has to be out.. in the beginning, my milk ducts were blocked, so not much came out even when i express/feed.. ended up bb feed every 2 hours.. super tired.. so i used hot towel compress + massage.. for 2 consecutive days.. then flow improved.. also note that everytime b4 feeding, it helps that u massage first.. flow is better..
chill gal.. everything will turn out well..

Faten, Sometimes, I pump first. Esp when she's sleepy, somehow after I let her suckle then pump, the supply is very pathetic. If after suckling, still not enough then feed her what i expressed lor.
Oops, I always give up pumping on both breasts at the same time.
QooSan, Did you manage to even out the supply of both breasts after expressing longer on the slow side?

For this first month, I am very lazy, will sleep througout at night cos now got CL to help look aft baby at nights. But, usually, my last feed is close to midnight then morning, I will wake up around 8-9am to latch him again. So, there is an interval of around 8-9hrs where is no pump or latch on for my BM.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks.
I'm back...
Happymumtobe and those mtbs who have popped,
Congratulations!
Here's my birth story.
16th Feb
4am+: started to have contractions but not so regular... then the contraction stopped at about noon...
17th Feb
2am+: Contractions started
6am: Contractions about 6, 7 min apart, left for hospital
6.30am: Contractions became 10min apart, nurse said my cervix still closed. Asked me whether to stay and wait for doc or go home. Decided to wait for doc first.
8.30am: Doc came and checked that I was about 1 to 2cm dilated. She broke my waterbag. She suggested epidural to me coz I was like so xin ku with the contractions which is supposed to be mild at that stage... and also coz I scared of vaginal check... Decided to see whether I can tahan the contractions first...
1pm+: Contractions getting really bad... Asked for epi.
2pm: Gotten the epi and slept for a while.
5pm: Only 5-6cm dilated. Gotten the induction drip.
7pm: Tried to push bb out but bb head still quite high.
8pm: Bb gotten lower but heartbeat getting slower too.
8pm+: Doc arrived.
8.47pm: She used forcep to get bb out. Luckily, bb was out in time coz she already poo-poo inside. Think if it was delayed, I may genna emerg c-sect.
I wanted to bf bb immediately after delivering but the nurse said gotta monitor bb first, so in the end, only bf bb few hours later.
Thanks.

6am: Contractions about 6, 7 min apart, left for hospital
6.30am: Contractions became 10min apart, nurse said my cervix still closed. Asked me whether to stay and wait for doc or go home. Decided to wait for doc first.
8.30am: Doc came and checked that I was about 1 to 2cm dilated. She broke my waterbag. She suggested epidural to me coz I was like so xin ku with the contractions which is supposed to be mild at that stage... and also coz I scared of vaginal check... Decided to see whether I can tahan the contractions first...
1pm+: Contractions getting really bad... Asked for epi.
2pm: Gotten the epi and slept for a while.
5pm: Only 5-6cm dilated. Gotten the induction drip.
7pm: Tried to push bb out but bb head still quite high.
8pm: Bb gotten lower but heartbeat getting slower too.
8pm+: Doc arrived.
8.47pm: She used forcep to get bb out. Luckily, bb was out in time coz she already poo-poo inside. Think if it was delayed, I may genna emerg c-sect.
I wanted to bf bb immediately after delivering but the nurse said gotta monitor bb first, so in the end, only bf bb few hours later.
