Felicia: wow.. ur PD suggest that? my PD told the nurses immediately upon delivery tat my baby is to be TBF. it was written on records. so when the nurse ask to feed FM since i first 3days no milk, the nurse kenna scolding from my PD cause i complain.
Day of discharge then suddenly engorgement, had to use frozen lettuce leaves to cover both boobs to ease the pain.
since 4th day of birth, i dun have issues with milk le. i have some frens who didn't know what to do when they have no milk during hospital stay then the nurses didn't help. end up they regret cause reach home no milk liao..
alot of times, nurses r very impt esp for first time moms. if they face pressure to feed FM, chances r the moms will give up bfing. i had a lot of pressure of my own, had lots quarrel with family, luckily my hb supported me. otherwise i dunno whether i can carry on till 3yo or not.
Groovy: i heard tat taking milk tea n fenugreek will cause after smaller boobs than usual after weaning. my fren bf for 8mths. took fenugreek throughout. she have 3 kids. so she realized tat 3rd kid she took meds she commented on the difference between bfing 3 kids.
best solution when u just delivered is to look for LC for help once u find something is wrong. don't hesitate or feel paiseh.
babies just born can go 1 week w/o milk. they have ample food in their tummies. usually if PD say to stop bf due to jaundice, moms just have to adjust their diets.
very rare cases where babies r allergic to mom's milk. so if jaundice, moms have to avoid ginger, carrot, yellow foods.
with strong willpower, moms can do anything.
