re: breast feeding
i am also of the mummies who have prob in bfeeding.. not sure if my supply is enuff for my bb. haiz..
my bb doesnt seem to be very well versed in latching. he usually latch for abt 5min, then he will stop.and it's almost impossible to latch on both breasts at each feeding.
mummies with huge milk supply, pls correct my BF method if i am on the wrong track.
what i have been practising is feed on demand, then pump milk when breast is full or after latching the bb or 2.5-3hrly depending. however, i dun understand why every time after i pump my milk, my breast still feel full? (note: pumping for 30min) anyone has the same prob?
then if i only pump single side at one time, the total for both breast will be ard 10-40ml max. however, if i do dual pump at same time, the qty shoot to 30-60ml.
and just 2 days ago, i found a new method, which is latch bb on one side, then pump the other side concurrently. and WAH, the qty shoot up fast. the 'pumped' breast immediately will have the let down effect which result in getting more milk.so after latching, i will pump the latched breast to empty out the milk. sometimes i will have like 70-100ml. Mummies with low milk ss, try this method and see if it helps.
someone, pls comment on my BF method. need to get the correct method before my supply starts dropping.
thanks in advance.
