Mummies who wanna latch and pump>
I latch to feed my girl... I pump IMMEDIATELY after latch to stimulate supply... I dun care the output is 5,10,15 or 20ml...
The purpose of my pump is to tell my BRAIN,
" hey dude, u ain't producing enough for my little one!!
Produce more milk!!!"
I'll do it every 3 hrs IF I want to increase supply.. Waterer output, just keep and store.. Anyway not using it for now..
If u have really low supply and need to feed ebm, then after latch, pump and store... The next time baby cries and u think is due to hunger, then u can latch OR feed whatever u have pumped previously..
I'm pretty sure if u continue this routine of latching AND PUMPING immediately AFTER every latch, ull see increase in supply very soon... Probably after 3-5days or a week... It doesn't happen OVERNITE...
Those ppl like pixie and prob myself who are fortunate enough to have sufficient to latch and for lazy mummy like me who's fortunate to not have to pump diligently every 3 hrs, we are just fortunate...
For less fortunate mummies who HAVE TO/MUST latch and pump DILIGENTLY to increase supply, u just have to do it to boost supply.. Or even take supplements like fenugreek or milkmaid tea...
BF doesn't come automatically or easily and definitely not something we can take for granted... U dun do it, u dun see results...
Some mummies just have a easier life, while some just have a tougher time to kick off this journey... But once u have build up and stabilize ur supply, I assure u it's the best thing, fulfilling and satisfying thing u can ever give/do for ur little one..
We are all just into our first month.. Theres still a long way to go if u wanna BF for long term...
I'll prob BF till she wean off herself or unless so Heng I have a #3... lol...
Studies have shown how BF babies are less prone to be overweight and healthier and less likely to have those diseases later on in life...
Not forgetting how much money u can save in 6mos or 1yr on FM...
Dun be stresses, relaxed.. Do ur best that u can... Control ur brain and breasts... And enjoy this journey..[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
Dun compare ur output with others cuz every body is different...[IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

Jaster> think u were doing fine... Mastitis happens to some
Mummies but doesn't mean u need to stop.. Once it clears off u can start all over again... It's more tiring and needs more efforts but still can be done... At the end of the day...

If this is really what works best for u and ur sanity and gives u proper rest and u feel is the good for both u and baby, then just do it...

Oh... Because I'm a lazy mummy, I choose to latch... Cuz it's so much easier for me... Pumping is a very tedious job and I dread sitting there and pump.. I also need to drag my feet to sit down and assemble the parts Lo...
I dun want to ask CL or helper to do it though I can...
Cuz it's all sterilized.. Lesser ppl touch better.. Hehe...
Those who somehow decided to give up now... Can always try again for ur #2... first time fail doesn't mea 2nd time sure fail also... So long u know wat went wrong this time..
Be better prepared next time... And prepare ur mind and body...
I've seen many mummies who didn't succed first time.. Cuz nobody told them how BF works.. 2nd time come forum then learn and know and with supportive frens and family members, managed to BF 2nd kid for months n months...

Babybride, don't b stress over milk supply. Just drink lots of fluids in the day n eat more fish. My supply not a lot but gradually increasing 10ml a day I happy le. I latch Bb in the day n once she finish 1 side I pump out the other side. It's a 2-3 hour thingy. Like today my Bb drink every 1 Hr so I let her drink the sane breast n pump out the other one. At least stimulate 1 side of the breast to product more then later then change it to let Bb latch. Don't b dishearted n compare. Just b more hardworking n slowly over 1 week supply will increase one. My 4-5 day after delivery my supply also only 10-20ml each side but I just pump n empty lo. Bb cry give formula milk lo. Bo bian.

Thanks mummies for ur reply. I got discuss with my hb that's why we decided to ask her leave. No point telling her what I expect of her now n later Si po Lian pi or make her got heart feeling n dunno how she will treat my Bb later... Anyway my 2 weeks confinement already f up n didn't do properly, I can't be bothered abt my remaining 2 weeks Liao. Get me? The most I got headache n body ache then my next pregnancy then I bu back with a super careful selection of CL. I understand if first confinement done not well, can bu back 2nd time one...
My hb already talked to my mil, she now not working Liao so morning she will come over take care of my Bb n feed Bb with my ebm n I just rest in day n night time I will take care of bb myself with hb. Then I just give my mil some allowance. She will cook for me n take care of Bb, do the CL job. I think is better than arguing with CL. If the person character already like this, no point to try changing her, I dun think it will help much.

Hi babybride,
I also have the same experience initially.
Now i handsqueeze 1st to get the milk out then use pump to continue.
Hi Annie,
I think ur CL attitude is making u TL... confinement time need rest n peace but confinement lady is Not a MUST to make it successful, gather help fr hubby n mil... n with some planning... it can still be good.
my no.2 birth, i have no confinement lady. my mother comes every evening after work to cook dinner, i settle my breakfast n lunch my new indo maid cook with wat my mother prepared n teach her the nite b4. as my indon maid have to care for my no.1 child, I care for my no.2 Newborn all by myself... to make it simple ( minimum sterilization/ washing of bottles) i totally latch-on feeding... initially my milk supply is low, but no choice mah so i perverse on... in the end, cos hav to take care baby myself, my no.2 was on TBF successfully for 2 years... going out with my no.2 is a breeze cos I only have to bring a sling n baby wipe/diapers n nothing else... i can shop then BF him once he is hungry, very easy to handle, my no.2 also stronger than older brother... believe is cos of the benefit of TBF for so long. I don't suffer any aches after that also cos I make sure i don't do strenous movement but leave for my maid or my hubby to help out...
Confinement lady is good to have lah... it is a luxury...but i believe u still can do a good confinement for the next 2 weeks de, don't worry k... all the best !!

Shirley, we segarian so sway hor, kena not good CL. Anyway we just told the CL to leave Tmr or today n she immediately said now!! I now going to withdraw money to pay her half a month. 2 weeks of suck confinement is enough..
Tres, yes, I pay money to hire a CL n give myself more trouble n stress for what? So we ask her go. I believe I can handle myself with my MIL help in day n hb at night. Tonight I'll be on my own Liao... But i like it coz nobody to hinder my stuff!

Rach way is correct to build supply ..
My #1 coz never latch much n never pump much low supply
Then my fren introduce me to ameda website .. Say much pump after latch even nothing come out
Which i did ... N my supply eventually came in
This time rd I haven pump after latch coz lazy n I think for now my supply more than enuf for my girl
This few days I pumping coz girl on fm due to jaundice
I really electric pump sort of toughen ie elongate the nipple for better latch as well
So since now my electric pump is back in action prob when I go bk to full time latching I will Pump after latch to build supply
2ks ur current supply won't be use yet coz u r producing more than wat ur boy need .. So keep till u go back work ?
I realize if in freezer for too long got the stale fishy smell ..I smell also wanna puke
#1 didn't quite like it
So I also don't wanna store long long
Those who r ftwm .. Full time latching also has it's disadvantage coz some bb after mummy go bk work difficult to accept the bottle or prefer to take more of the milk from
The breast
So also must introduce the bottle at some
Point in time etc ..

yday the lactation nurse told me that using hand to pump the breast can get more milk cos we're squeezing the areola whereas the pump only squeeze from the nipples... open your milk ducts by pulling the areola back and then towards the nipple... a few times in different positions... then try pumping... as you pump, try massaging your breast... when you squeeze your breast, is when the pump is sucking in the nipple... try this to see if you can get more milk out...

After seeing so many encouraging posts,feel like letting my bb to try latching again,has been feeding him ebm,always pump out 2 feeds supply cuz didn't want to keep pumping.
Though I only need to pump around 15-20 min can get 160ml. But every night still have to wake up and warm the milk a bit troublesome also..

Think cuz first week I kiasu scared no milk,keep pumping every 2 to 3 hours,until over supply,but feel engorged easily,now I take things slowly pump every 5 hours and try not to empty my breast,slowly meet my bb's demand. I'm sure you can do it too!! Jia you jia you. Latching is my problem though..

BF is really hardwork and I really need to keep my sanity in tact... luckily hubby was very supportive.... cos of my bad tear I'm not so mobile at home so alot of things have to depend on hubby... now I'm really scare what will happen after he goes back to work on wednesday.. feeling emo....

Aiyoh rach, u say me until as though I have lots of output but hor since yesterday, my boobs went lazy liao lah...coz I only pump out 100-110ml per side per 4hrly, in between if bb wanna latch I let her latch. But hor boobs still heavy for the whole week. My brain finally got my signal and stopped producing so much so now only can get 90-100ml per side per 4hrly. Still considered over supply but dropped liao lo
my boobs quite lazy kind really
bfding mummies, jia you!!
For me, I pump every 3hrly in week1, and 4hrly in week2...so now is 7am, 11am, 3pm, 7pm, 11pm, 3am
next 2 weeks will roll to 5hrly for 4 sessions and 1session of 4hrly, making 24hrs in a day. I always calculate my pumping hours by 24 in a day, easier to remember.
Once u established a routine, won't forget when need to pump liao, then only need to remember wen was bb last feed etc. Remember bb feeding time & pumping time very luan rite....so pumping schedule can fixed, bb one cannot mah!!
Like that no excuse to be lazy liao....
Then in between if bb wanna latch, even 1hr after u have pumped, offer ur breasts to him/her. This way, you get more milk...sending signals to brain bb demand more than supply
that's what I'm doing currently...just to share
