Try to latch her on n off instead of waiting till u're engorged. Once u're engorged, harder for e baby to suck suck e milk out so they will reject. May not b coz she reject latching totally.

Mummies, anyone have issues latching on baby after 1 week? I bottle feed formula in the night and latch on bf in the day but recently my little princess like to use her tongue to play and then push away the nipple.. Then latch a while and repeat..I'm afraid she doesn't get enough milk during the day..
Yes, I am having this issue. After introducing bottle feeding, she no longer latches on me anymore. Coming to 3 weeks this Friday.
I have been trying to get her latch but she is like "banging" around my nipple and cries...
Hai...

Same... Hai. But so far she still manage to latch , just not for very long..
Patience that's the only advise anyone can give. Each side for full latch takes the baby 30 mins to sucks. A lot of times I latch till I fall asleep before my girl does. V dangerous. Can try lying on the bed position? My confinement nanny suggest. Not so tiring and can sleep together with baby.
Use cabbage. Very effective.

Hi mimmies, anyone letting bb sleep on their own in the room separately? How do you manage at night taking care of bb?
I bought something like this from bb fair too. So far my boy using ok... but he like to sleep head tilt 1 side to uis rite so I hv to straighten his head to the front on n off...
My boy is also tilted to one side. And he slips off the pillow and i always find him horizontal in the playpen. Was wondering if i should go buy the babymoov pillow or will he slip down from that also.

Is there any white stain on baby mouth as well. If yes, it could be fungal infection call Thrush that cause the sore nipple? Me n my baby just went to the PD to get some medication.

I understand how you feel.
Its frustrating when baby cry and everyone rush to my room and ask for the baby or ask me why is baby crying. Obviously baby cant talk and tell what they want or whats wrong. Its a troubleshooting process. Mayb hungry, mayb stomach uncomfortable or mayb diaper full. Hate it when baby is taken away from me when he cries. Like i am not qualified to take care or comfort him. My maid or mum would say, come give me or come let me carry. Im a first time mum too. And im still learning. I should be given the chance to learn, get to know baby and his habits.
Now when baby cry, i quickly attend to him. Troubleshoot quickly before anyone comes in and take him away. So far, so good.
Jia you!

I also have the same issue.. But now getting better.. Coz I think sometimes my girl haven't burp enough I set her down, and that causes her to be uncomfortable..now I try to hold her and burp her after a feeding, wait till she go into semi sleepy mode then put her down.. The other day she cry entire day and it was not until the next day that I saw her nose inside got mucus, then took it out.. After take out she totally ok again..

The problem is I'm feeding breast milk and she has difficult to latch n my mum keep on taking her away from me when she cry. Then I had to express and when nobody at home I can't cope. Jus coaxing her take 1 hr or more. Feeding n expressing milk and 3hrs gone and repeat again. It's like driving me nuts. I almost give up.. sometimes I feel I wan to run away
The first couple of month is the toughest. Everything seems haywire and off. Hang in there, it will get better! And if it's really driving you crazy, take a breather, pass the baby to your mum and get her to bottle feed the baby. Meanwhile you can take a break or go for a walk for some fresh air

Hi mummies, how do u survive with less than 4 hrs of sleep every night and your bb wakes up every 2 hrs for milk and sometimes does not sleep at all? My girl won't sleep from 9pm to 3am and will sleep after that for 1hr and wakes up for milk. This will last till the morning 7am. Then she will sleep 2hrs in the day. Trying to cope with expressing milk in between and taking care of her and keeping my sanity check.

My wife doesnt have much milk, each day only about 100ml if lucky. Have to use formula. doc says her nipple inverted etc thus baby not willing to latch plus of cos not much supply to begin with. So just pump out and give it to baby in a bottle.
Btw, any baby here when feeding thru bottle makes alot of the air noise from baby? Donno how to describe it but baby is like having the sound of drinking very very fast. Currently baby at 4th week old, each feed is about 100ml, 3hrs apart but recently started to be 2.5 or 2hrs apart. And the baby simply want to be fed everytime she wakes up.
Confinement lady will be leaving next monday, i wonder how my wife and i can cope by then with just the 2 of us.
Everyone jiayou and dont get stress out, im learning to be a better parent each day too.

Hi allenhui, if your wife wanna latch baby can buy nipple shield is for inverted nipple (buy this brand Ardo) coz the thickness of the shield is the thinner.

Hi, same here. Mine wants to be fed every 2-3 hrs. Sometimes shorter intervals when he poo poo right after the feed which is quite common for breastfed babies according to my PD. If he can't sleep well at night, he will wake up more often for feeds. So recently, I turned on aircon for him when weather gets very warm at night.

My milk supply is getting less each day. Dunno is becoz of the stress level or what is happening.... Feel stress about it, but I still can supply her at least 1 time each day.
These few day, my bb kind of cranky. Dun wan slp in the noon keep making noise and cry, at night after 10pm also. My mil feel frustrated snd scold the bb, I feel irritated and told mil the bb is still small she dunno how to tell you and we dun really can understand what she want. That y when she start crying, I make her some milk or give her pacifier to soothe her. Everytime I make milk for bb, mil will said AGAIN drink milk later waste how. I pretend din heard it....
My confinement is do by mil.

I can let her latch only on left side when I put her sitting on the bed. It's none of the methods from the recommended position. But not always successful as if she scream it won't work. We dono why she cry until non stop. Diapers change, feeding done. Even get her burp. My mum keep complain about the fan. But the room already so hot that we can't stand. She still wan to wrap bb tight n hot. We are getting very frustrated. It's so hard. I'm wondering why my bb do difficult?

Its good to go back to check esp if you feel something is not right. I had infection and couldn't even sit but when I called to make appt my gynae nurse said his appts on a Sat was fully booked! I was shocked at their statement. Isn't there an SOP that sick patients should be seen first?
Yup, I have a follow up about 2 weeks after delivery. Can you try to get an a appointment? If not, just watch out for pus or funky smells. Meanwhile, keep the wound clean and change yr pad regularly.

My girl sometimes also like that. Keep crying even after feeding,changed diaper, change clothing.. My husband did this rubbing on stomach thing and somehow for that night she stopped crying. Maybe your bb has wind in her tummy but cannot get it out and uncomfortable ?

I intending to buy ru yi oil to put after she turns one mth, heard that maybe will help with the wind.. Coz now mine keep hiccuping also which i suspect she eat too fast, even with bf , a lot of air inside... Very often after feeding she will spit up milk during burping. Maybe u can try also?
I'm also very tempted to get baby magic tea (saw the reviews that it really helps gassy babies - was a bit desperate liao) but not worth it to get only 1 can... Their free shipping is only for orders $100 n above. If buy 1 can with shipping it will be around $48 usd... Anyone wanna share so can save on shipping?

Hello! I feel you! My babe wakes up hourly at night and when the sun rises I feel like a zombie. Haha. But this stage will pass. Their feeds will stretch for longer hours and we will get our sleep back!
Yar! My baby is gassy too. But it's hard to burp her.
Hi fatefully,
Don't give up! I was in the same situation as you & I asked around & read about what to do. Sometimes pump nothing comes out & it's really demoralising. I tried this thing called power pump, not sure if it did really boost the milk supply but apparently now my milk supply is better & am on total breastfeeding. I am also taking fenugreek to supplement the milk supply. I heard salmon, codfish & avocado helps too.
You can read up on this website for power pump,

U can squeeze n massage while pumping and increase the time a bit longer. This is how I make my milk supply increase. U try squeeze to hit 25 or 30ml. Then ur next pump will get 30 in shorter time... Slowly squeeze a bit more and increase time. I always massage n sqeeze while pump. Can get 90-100 per side at times.

Same for my wife too, during first week, the supply was low, each pump about 10-15ml only. Then second week was better like 20-40ml each pump. But this week onwards, the supply is down again back to 10-20ml if lucky. Oh, with such supply, have to go formula way without better choice

Ask ur wife not to b stressed up over breastfeeding. Stress will cause e milk supply to drop. I had to supplement for 2 mths wif my boy before he was fully breastfed. My milk supply only increased when I almost gave up n tried fenugreek as a last resort. My gal has a smaller appetite. I still dun haf a gd milk supply but at least she's drinking lesser formula compared to her bro. Jia you!
