All about Breastpumping part 3

[cherryblossone]

^ ayayay i mean 5 weeks pala hehe! nag increase na ng konti na pump ko this morning. nakakangawit lang mag pump.

[kaice]

sanayan lang din talaga magpump. if you need to store milk talaga, you need a double electric reliable pump as investment. if kaya ng WAHM sked mo to take breaks for feedings, better na direct.

[cherryblossone]

^ pwede ako mag take ng break while working ang kaso, my baby usually sleeps for 1 hour lang, tapos feed ulit siya. bihira siya makatulog ng 2-3 hours na hindi ako katabi.   ok sana kung direcho tulog niya kahit 2-3 hours para maka-work ako. Di kasi pwede sa work ko na patigil tigil like 1 hour work tapos stop then maya-maya 1 hour ulit then stop. magbago pa kaya sleeping pattern ng baby ko?

kaya pinag-iisipan ko talaga if I should buy a double electric pump para pwede kami take turn ng daddy niya sa pag alaga kay baby and pag turn ni daddy bottle feed siya.

^ sis magbabago pa sleeping pattern ni baby as he/she gets older. before my baby sleeps all day then pag dating ng madaling araw, every two hours and feeding nya. ngaun sa hapon gising and 4 am na lang ako gising para ifeed sya, then tulog na ulit.

Pareho tayo ng problem di ko na masustain ang milk need ni baby, kaya nag supplement na ko ng formula kaysa magutom siya. 10oz na lang kasi ang napa-pump ko sa maghapon. Direct feeding naman kami every night and on weekends, pero mahina para rin ang napro-produce ko. Baby is 3 mos old, plan ko pa naman na mag breastfeed kahit 1 year lang.

[princess_angel]

^ sis, halos magsing eded baby natin. mine is 3 1/2 months na.

[kaice]

may periods talaga na ganyan sis.. i was like that last week (ulit!) parang cycle that goes up and down. more frequent pumping, kung every 3 hours, mag every 2 hours kayo... pag nasa bahay at kulang pa ang supply for following day, pump on the other breast while direct feed kay baby, mas maganda ang let down nun  kaya natin yan!

[sistah!]

omg ako rin, sobrang konti ng milk ko. as in. nakakalungkot kasi wala na ako halos backup or reserve. dati marami yan. my baby's 8 months old. she eats solids na but kulang na kulang yung milk. i started mommy treats ulit. plan ko bumili ng natalac or prolacta ulit. sana talaga madagdagan ang milk output ko...

[iristacey]

^sis when i attended a LLL meeting with abbie yabot, sabi niya normal na around 8-9months, supply will fall down as it is a sign that babies need more solids na daw. haven't been there but slowly anticipating it..

[kaice]

waahh!! i'm afraid baka maparanoid ang mga tao dito na wala akong iniiwang milk for baby hehe! try domperidone sis sistah! kaya natin ito! 7 months na kami next week

[rexyloise]

Hala ako din! Kakabalik ko lang sa work last friday. 8oz na produce ko na for 2 sessions pero ngayon yun first sessiOn ko na inabot ng 45 mins pag-pump naka 3-oz lang. Nakaka-sad! Nagta-take naman ako ng natalac and malakas din water intake ko. Could it be the food intake? Tina-try ko kasi magbawas ng pagkain eh

check your pump. or are you stressed lately? stress is the main culprit usually ng low supply. try to keep yourself hydrated as well aside from eating galactagogue foods like broccoli, tofu, spinach, oatmeal. supplementing with formula will just make your supply much lower.

[Cocoyow]

sis Cocoyow, i own one. it's the older model though. i use it as double pump instead na single lang. it's good. i get 16-24oz per day with it. with 4months of use (daily pa ha!) okay pa rin siya. i use yung #1 and #2 strength lang. i can't tolerate beyond it. #2 suction strength is the best for me.

Thanks sis iristacey! Decided nako sa unimom allegro

From the site Native Mothering:

"Breastfed babies need on average 24-32 ounces of milk per day, or 1-1.25 ounces per hour."

I tried to go on no rice diet for several days in my attempt to lose weight fast, pero napansin ko bumaba yung output ko kaya back to rice ako. diet plays a huge role talaga. tsaka na nga ako magdadiet. mas gusto kong masustain magbreastfeed lalo na that i'll be back to work na next month. I'm starting to build my supply for freezing.

[Diane]

^sis ako pumayat kahit mega-rice ako sa breastfeeding...btw, mixed feeding pa nga ako and marami nagsasabi pumayat ako, mas payat pa nung dalaga ako. Kaya talagang effort ako magpabreastfeed kasi its good for my baby, and pumayat ako ng wlang exercise (na kinatatamaran ko )
