Maggie, jiayou!
luckyone,
ML start already ah? good good...come come let's get this thread moving...
Sue,
My massage lady coming on 11 May.
She is the Mona they were talking abt that is very popular and charges reasonably.
I booked her through a friend's recommendation in January.
3 days after c-sect? unbelievable, foot massage mayb?
Think chubby tiger explained that just now to me. She only pumps once in the morning and one time at night when she supplements with FM.
I suppose the body will regulate demand so if you supplement FM then body will eventually produce less than the requirements for TBF.
BBs have natural sucking instincts but can be nurtured when it comes to nipple or bottle.
It will take some time to train either way.
For BF, bb n mummy needs to learn to latch correctly.
For bottle, bb needs to learn how to drink from it as well.
During the 1st two months, if bb does not learn to latch properly and then adapts to the bottle, they will forget how to latch and same vice versa. ie nipple confusion.
Coz BB is too young to learn to switch to and from bottle and nipple so easily.
OJT:
I train #1 to latch properly first and then introduce the bottle 2 weeks before I return to work so that he switches between the 2 easily.
He then takes the EBM bottle when I am at work and do a direct latch when I am home.
After a while they get used to the routine and my son actually looks for me and enjoys the direct latch when I get home.
